4. WorkCycles may refuse orders, with motivation, or alternatively attach specific terms to the delivery.

5. You may cancel the Agreement in writing within 8 (eight) days after the Agreement has come into effect, but not after delivery has occurred. You are obliged to compensate WorkCycles for all damages incurred as a result of the cancellation within 10 (ten) days after cancellation. These damages are set at a fixed 15 % (fifteen per cent) of the purchase price of the cancelled Product. If after 10 (ten) days You have not paid this compensation, WorkCycles may demand that the Agreement still be fulfilled. In that case you will no longer be entitled to cancel.

Prices and payments
6. WorkCycles is not bound by quotations in the event of printing, typesetting or programming errors in the company’s advertisements, catalogues, mailings or on the company’s websites.

7. You pay the price for the Products, (and if applicable, the shipment thereof), mentioned in the confirmation sent by WorkCycles. Prices are in euros including VAT (Dutch sales tax) and other duties.

8. Changes in VAT and other duties, as well as price increases as a result of changes in the factory and/or importer’s prices and exchange rates will be passed on. You are entitled to revoke the Agreement after notification of this change, where the increase occurs after the Agreement has been concluded. Revocation of the Agreement must take place within 10 (ten) days after notification has been given.

9. Prior to issuing an order to repair a Product, You may request a quotation for the time and cost of the repair. Any price and time given are estimates. If the cost of repairing a Product is greater than €20.00 (twenty euros), and exceeds or threatens to exceed the quoted amount by more than 20% (twenty per cent), WorkCycles will contact You to discuss the additional cost.

10. Products purchased by Consumers will be paid for prior to delivery. In other cases payment will take place by the means stated on the invoice, without deduction or compensation, within 14 (fourteen) days after receipt of the invoice. WorkCycles may set additional (payment/order) terms. Where payment is made by bank or giro the payment date is the date on which the WorkCycles giro or bank account respectively is credited.

11. In the event of late payment WorkCycles is entitled to charge the statutory (trade) interest and extrajudicial collection expenses, with a minimum of €150.00 (one hundred and fifty euros).

Delivery and reservation of proprietary rights

15. All Products supplied by WorkCycles remain the property of WorkCycles or their suppliers until payment has been received in full, including any possible interest and collection charges due. WorkCycles is not obliged to indemnify You against Your liability as owner of a Product.

Claims

Defaults are demonstrable deviations in a Product from the agreed specification. After this deadline, all rights to claim against WorkCycles with respect to defaults lapse.

17. If a claim is found by WorkCycles to be valid, WorkCycles will refund the Product, repair or replace it with similar items entirely of their own choice.

18. Returns of pre-packed products will only be accepted where the Product packaging is undamaged and the plastic seal on the packaging has not been broken. Any associated payment already received will be returned within 30 (thirty) days of the cancellation, at the latest. The costs of the return shipment are at Your expense.

Intellectual Property Rights
19. The intellectual property rights, such as copyrights, trademark rights, patent rights, design rights, trade name rights, database rights and related rights, as well as rights to the know-how on all Products made available by WorkCycles are held by WorkCycles and/or their suppliers.

20. You are not allowed to remove any marks belonging to the rights owner regarding the intellectual property rights on the Products.

21. With the exception of when obliged to do so by law, You are prohibited from duplicating, replicating, dismantling, or reverse engineering the Product. Furthermore it is forbidden to remove or circumvent any security or technical restrictions on (or in the use of) the Product.

c. have not paid, or have not paid in full any other claims arising from the contractual relationship with WorkCycles.

Guarantee
23. Unless specifically agreed otherwise in writing, WorkCycles is not subject to any guarantees other than those provided for in these Terms, with the exception of those prescribed by law. Under all circumstances defects due to normal wear and tear or as a result of abnormal use are exempt from any guarantee. No guarantee is given on any emergency repairs commissioned.

24. Unless specific qualities have been explicitly agreed, it is sufficient for WorkCycles to supply Products of standard (trade) quality. The Products will only have those characteristics suitable for the purpose for which they are intended.

25. Any rights to claim under the guarantee lapse if:
a. You fail to inform WorkCycles of the defect as soon as possible after you have discovered the defect and
b. WorkCycles is not the first to be given the opportunity to repair the defect.

26. The guarantee is valid should the immediate need for repair have arisen elsewhere and this can be shown by You on the basis of information provided by the person who carried out the repairs and/or on the basis of the broken parts. Under such circumstances compensation will be made for the cost of the repairs ac-cording to WorkCycles maximum price level, but never more than the actual costs incurred.

Liability
27. WorkCycles is not liable for misunderstandings, alteration, delay or inadequate transmission of orders and communication as a result of the use of the Internet, or any other means of communication, in correspondence between You and WorkCycles, or WorkCycles and third parties, where this pertains to the relationship between You and WorkCycles.

29. With the exception of where otherwise determined by law, and without prejudice to the provisions contained elsewhere in the Agreement, WorkCycles’ liability towards You, in any capacity whatsoever, per event, (whereby a series of connected events will count as one single event), is limited to the amount paid by You to WorkCycles in the current calendar year.

30. If You are not a Consumer, You indemnify WorkCycles against any claims from third parties, in any capacity whatsoever, pertaining to compensation for damage, costs or interest, with respect to, or arising from the Agreement or use of the Products.

31. The previous clauses in these articles are not applicable if and insofar as the damage in question has been caused with intent or by deliberate recklessness on the part of WorkCycles.

Force Majeure
32. A Party is exempt from meeting one or more of its obligations, with the exception of obligations to make financial payment, where it is prevented from doing so as a result of circumstances beyond its control.

33. Such circumstances include non-culpable shortcomings on the part of WorkCycles, third parties or suppliers brought in by WorkCycles, as well as every situation over which the Party concerned is in fact unable to exercise any (deciding) control, including – but not limited to – the non-functioning or reduced functioning of the Internet, postal service, electricity network, computer systems and/or networks.

34. As soon it is clear that such a case of force majeure will last for longer than 3 (three) months, the other Party has the right to cancel the Agreement, without being liable for damages.
