5. The dissolution or nullification of one or more of the provisions in these general terms and provisions or the agreement does not affect the validity of the other clauses. In such an event, the parties are obliged to discuss a new provision to replace the provision in question, thereby taking into account the aim and the intent of the original provision.

ARTICLE 3. | OFFER AND CONCLUDING OF THE AGREEMENTS
1. Each offer made by Virtual Vision is free of obligation, regardless of whether it states a period of acceptance. An offer of Virtual Vision is also subject to sufficient availability of the products, software or services offered. Virtual Vision can always revoke its offer until immediately after the acceptance thereof by the other party.
2. If, in the event of a web shop order, a product has already been paid for and the product then appears to no longer be available, then Virtual Vision will ensure that the other party is repaid as soon as possible, whereby the price for any part of the agreement delivered remains payable by the other party.
3. The other party can also not derive any right from an offer of Virtual Vision that contains an apparent error or mistake.
4. The other party can also not derive rights from an offer of Virtual Vision that is based on the incorrect or incomplete details provided by the other party.
5. A composite price quote does not form an obligation for Virtual Vision to perform a part of the offer at a corresponding part of the price quoted.
6. The agreement is concluded by the offer being made and accepted, notwithstanding that stated in this subsection. If the acceptance of the other party deviates from the offer made by the other party, then the agreement will not be concluded in accordance with this deviating acceptance, unless the latter party states otherwise. If the other party has been given a pro forma invoice, then the full payment of that invoice is regarded as an acceptance of Virtual Vision's offer. If the agreement is concluded electronically, is entered into via the web shop, phone or by fax, then the agreement will only be concluded the moment Virtual Vision has confirmed the order to the other party by email.
7. If the other party concludes the agreement on behalf of other individuals or legal entities, he states that he is authorised to do so before entering into the agreement. The other party and that individual or legal entity is severally liable for meeting the obligations resulting from that agreement.

ARTICLE 4. | SUPPLY OF PRODUCTS
1. Unless otherwise has explicitly been agreed that the delivery takes place by way of collecting the products by or on behalf of the other party, the delivery of the products takes place by delivery thereof at the address provided by the other party. If the other party has not specified a delivery address, the invoice address is used as delivery address.

3. Virtual Vision retains the right to deliver orders in parts, unless this cannot reasonably be demanded from the other party.
4. Unless otherwise has explicitly been agreed, Virtual Vision delivers the products (Delivered at Place) pursuant to the most recent version of the Incoterms.

5. If the agreed delivery period is exceeded the other party, notwithstanding that stated in article 5 with regard to the failure of Virtual Vision, is never authorised to refuse the products to be delivered and/or the payment of the amounts payable to Virtual Vision pursuant to the agreement.
6. If the products could not be delivered as a result of a circumstance that is attributable to the other party, then Virtual Vision will keep the products in storage for account and risk of the other party, notwithstanding the obligation of the other party to pay the sums payable pursuant to the agreement concluded with Virtual Vision. The storage costs, additional freight costs etc. incurred as a result of the failure of the other party to receive the goods, are also payable by the other party. Also if the storage is realised on Virtual Vision's own location, then the other party must pay storage costs. These costs are reasonably determined by Virtual Vision.

ARTICLE 5. | DELIVERY INSTALMENTS
1. Virtual Vision does everything in its power to meet the delivery period agreed by the parties. However, the delivery periods agreed by Virtual Vision and the parties can only be regarded as indicative and never as a deadline. The default of Virtual Vision will not take effect until after the other party has declared the Virtual Vision in default in writing, whereby the notice of default states a reasonable period in which Virtual Vision must be given the opportunity to comply with its obligations and has still failed to comply with its obligations after the above mentioned period has ended. In the event of such a failure, the other party can never claim a payment of damages exceeding the restitution or remittance of the agreed price proportionate to the undelivered part of the agreement.

Virtual Vision only delivers the products with (factory) guarantee insofar this has explicitly been agreed by the parties or has explicitly been stated upon concluding the agreement.
2. The other party must, notwithstanding its claims to any guarantee, immediately investigate upon or directly after delivery whether the nature and the quantity of the products comply with that stated in the agreement. If the other party considers that the nature and/or quantity of the products is not in accordance with the agreement, then the other party must immediately report this to Virtual Vision at the moment of delivery, or at least immediately after. In the event of a defect that was reasonably not visible or otherwise unknown at the time of the delivery, the other party must inform Virtual Vision thereof in writing within seven days after they have become aware or should reasonably have become aware of the existence of the defect.
3. If the other party fails to file a complaint in time, then Virtual Vision does not have any obligation in respect of such a complaint of the other party.
4. The fact that the other party files a complaint in time does not withstand its obligation to pay to Virtual Vision on time.

This includes, but is not limited to, defects resulting from damage, normal wear and tear, incorrect or inexpert treatment, incorrect or inexpert use, use contrary to the user manual or other instructions provided by Virtual Vision or its supplier, the failure to expertly and regularly conduct maintenance and to make changes to the products, including repairs of the products which have not been performed with prior written permission of Virtual Vision.

3. Virtual Vision guarantees the other party the constant, agreed quality of the supplied products. The other party who acts as the reseller of the products, is responsible for the compliance with legal obligations with regard to his ultimate customers, such as the legal sales guarantee for consumers.

Unless otherwise is explicitly stated all the software offered by Virtual Vision, whether or not as part of an agreement is received from the manufacturer of the product in question. This program is offered to the other party to the best of the insight and ability of Virtual Vision. However, Virtual Vision cannot guarantee the soundness and suitability of the program for the application intended by the other party. Virtual Vision is therefore not liable for programming errors, unsoundness or unsuitability of the software. Virtual Vision is also not liable for viruses or other harmful components that cause damage to the hardware or software of the other party by way of the program. Insofar as reasonably be demanded by Virtual Vision, they will do all the necessary, in consultation with the manufacturer if needed, to find a suitable solution for the other party for any errors in the software offered by Virtual Vision in respect of the making available thereof by Virtual Vision, without Virtual Vision accepting any further liability in this respect.

ARTICLE 10. | SERVICE

Insofar as reasonably may be expected from Virtual Vision, it will do its utmost, in consultation with the manufacturer or supplier, to find a suitable solution to resolve any errors or shortcomings in the service provided by the manufacturer or supplier, without Virtual Vision accepting any liability in this respect.

ARTICLE 11. | SUSPENSION AND DISSOLUTION
1. Virtual Vision is, if reasonably justified by the circumstances, authorised to suspend the performance of the agreement or dissolve the agreement, fully or partly, effective immediately, if and insofar as the other party fails to meet the obligations of the agreement fully or fails to meet them in time, or if Virtual Vision has learned after having concluded the agreement that there are circumstances that provide good grounds to fear that the client will not meet its obligations. If the compliance of the obligations of the other party in respect of which it falls short or threatens to fall short, is permanently impossible, the authority to dissolve only arises after the party has been declared in default by Virtual Vision in writing; this notice of default will specify a reasonable period within which the other party can (still) comply with its obligations and the compliance after the lapsing of the latter period has still not been realised.
2. If the other party liquidates its business or transfers it to a third party, is declared bankrupt, requested a suspension of payment, if any claim is made on his goods or if the other party can no longer freely dispose of its assets, then Virtual Vision is entitled to dissolve the agreement, effective immediately, unless the other party has already provided sufficient security for the compliance with its payment obligations.
3. Virtual Vision is also entitled to dissolve the agreement if circumstances should occur that are of such a nature that meeting the agreement is impossible or if the unchanged maintaining of the agreement cannot reasonably be demanded of him.
4. The other party can never claim any payment of damages in respect of the dissolution or suspension right exercised by Virtual Vision on the basis of this article, in the understanding that if the circumstances that lead to the dissolution of the agreement should reasonably be for the risk of Virtual Vision, the other party can only claim a restitution or remittance of the price proportionate of the unperformed or undelivered part of the agreement as a result of the dissolution.
5. Insofar as this can be attributed to the other party, the other party is obliged to pay the damages suffered by Virtual Vision as a result of the suspension or dissolution of the agreement.
6. If Virtual Vision dissolves the agreement on the basis of this article, all the claims on the purchaser are payable immediately.
7. The dissolution as referred to in this article will be effectuated by serving the other party an extra judicial declaration.

1. All the prices listed by Virtual Vision are excluding VAT and other government levies. If the products are delivered, the prices are excluding delivery costs unless otherwise has explicitly been agreed.
2. Virtual Vision is authorised to pass on price increases to the other party if significant price increases have taken place between the moment the offer was made and the moment the agreement was performed, with regard to cost price determining factors, for example with regard to exchange rates, salaries, raw materials, semi-finished products and packaging.
3. Payments must be made in the manner prescribed by Virtual Vision.
4. If otherwise is not explicitly agreed, then the other party must pay the full amount in advance. If the agreement is concluded at the location of Virtual Vision and the delivery takes place immediately, the payment must be made in cash before Virtual Vision must provide the products.
