1.3 In these terms and conditions, written means by mail.
1.4 Additional and/or deviating conditions – including also purchase conditions – of the client do not form part of the agreement between Ictoria and the client, are explicitly rejected and therefore do not bind the contractor, unless the contractor accepts the conditions of the client in writing in whole or in part.
1.5 Deviations from the general conditions shall be binding only if and to the extent expressly agreed in writing and only for the offers, quotations, work and (additional) agreements to which they apply.

General Terms and Conditions of Sale Article 7 Retention of Title.
This section of the general conditions describes the retention of title when the products belong to whose property.
7.1 Ictoria remains the owner of all goods delivered, including drawings and advice, until the client has complied with all payment obligations under the agreement and has satisfied Ictoria’s claims for failure to perform. At the request of Ictoria, the client shall establish a non-possessory pledge on the delivered goods as security for all existing and future claims of Ictoria. As long as the client has not paid for the goods in full, it may not establish a lien
or possessory lien on the goods or transfer them in any way to third parties, except with Ictoria’s written consent.
7.2 The client may use or sell the goods in its normal course of business, but until it has paid in full, all of the client’s rights in respect of the goods against its customers shall take the place of Ictoria. Client shall, if necessary, transfer these rights to Ictoria, which transfer Ictoria shall accept. If the transfer of these rights requires further acts of fact or law, the client shall cooperate.
7.3 Ictoria shall have the right to access the delivered goods if necessary. The client shall at all times give Ictoria the opportunity to exercise its retention of title by taking back the delivered goods, including any necessary disassembly. The costs for this shall be borne by the client and the client shall cooperate in this without the need for a demand, notice of default or judicial intervention.
General Terms and Conditions of Sale Article 8 Delivery Period
This section of the general conditions of sale states what the delivery period is in general.
8.1 If the client owes an advance payment or if it is required to supply information and/or materials for performance, the period within which the work must be completed shall not begin until payment has been received in full by Ictoria or the information and/or materials have been made available to Ictoria in full, respectively.
8.2 Deadlines by which the work must be completed shall only be regarded as deadlines if this has been agreed in writing. This is because the duration of the order may be affected by various factors, such as the quality of the information provided by the client and the cooperation provided.
8.3 Unless it has been established that performance of the contract is permanently impossible, the client may not dissolve the contract on the grounds of failure to meet a deadline, unless the contractor also fails to perform the contract or fails to perform it in full within a reasonable period of time after the client has given it a reasonable period of time in writing to still perform. Dissolution is then possible according to article 265 of Book 6 of the Civil Code.

In that case, there is no obligation to pay damages.

10.3 If Ictoria has already partially fulfilled its obligations when force majeure occurs, or has only partially fulfilled its obligations, the client shall be obliged to pay Ictoria the agreed amount pro rata.
