General terms and conditions of sale and delivery for mail order sales and sales over the Internet.

  1. Applicability

1.1 These general terms and conditions, as well as all other conditions and documents referred to in these terms and conditions (hereinafter: “Terms”), apply to all agreements and other (legal) acts between vsheftrucks and business customers, other than consumers (hereinafter: “Customer”, “you”, or your”). Please read these Terms carefully before ordering a product and/or service and print these Terms for later consultation.

1.2 The applicability of general and/or special conditions of the Customer is excluded, unless vsheftrucks has accepted the applicability of such conditions in writing.

1.3 Our Website only focuses on Customers in the Netherlands. The Terms therefore apply to the sale and shipment of vsheftrucks products within the Netherlands. By ordering products and/or services via our Website, you guarantee that: 1) you are authorised to conclude a legally valid agreement, 2) you are at least 18 years old; And 3) you are a resident of the Netherlands or are established there.

  1. Agreements

2.1 All quotations and offers (on the Website), are without obligation and do not bind vsheftrucks unless otherwise indicated. An order from the Customer is only an offer to buy a product and must be explicitly accepted by vsheftrucks. An Agreement is only concluded if and insofar as vsheftrucks has accepted an order by sending an order confirmation (by email) with the content of the Agreement and/or has started the execution of the Agreement within 5 days after the order.

2.2 All statements on the Website of numbers, sizes, weights, descriptions and/or other indications have been made with care, but only serve to identify the products and only apply approximately, as long as they have not been explicitly confirmed in writing by vsheftrucks. Obvious mistakes, such as calculation, writing and typographical errors in offers, quotations, prospects, publications, leaflets, order confirmations, invoices and other documents from vsheftrucks, do not bind vsheftrucks. Guarantees about the quality, durability, function and suitability for a particular use are only binding if explicitly indicated by vsheftrucks, for example in the technical specifications of a product. Offers by us or third parties do not reflect properties of the products.

2.3 If the ordered products are no longer available, vsheftrucks is entitled to offer a replacement similar product of the same quality. In such cases, vsheftrucks will first contact us for the customer’s consent. If the Customer does not agree with the replacement product, the order may be cancelled and vsheftrucks will ensure a refund of the purchase amount.

  1. DELIVERY TIMES AND RISK TRANSITION

3.1 In order to keep it simple and unambiguous, we have decided to charge € 149,- ex VAT for all delivery addresses in the Netherlands as standard for the transport costs.
For deliveries to the Wadden Islands and deliveries outside the Netherlands, a tailor-made rate will be issued. We strive to have the product delivered to you within 5 working days.
The delivery date is always in consultation between vsheftrucks and the Customer.

3.2. Delivery times and times are observed by vsheftrucks as much as possible, but are not binding. If the delivery period is exceeded, the Customer is not entitled to any compensation in this respect or to suspension of his obligations arising from the Agreement.

3.3 The delivery period starts on the day of the conclusion of the Agreement, as described in article 2.1 of these Terms.

3.4 Delivery takes place (by a transport company) to the address specified by the Customer, or the product is picked up from the vsheftrucks showroom in Geffen (North Brabant). If you unexpectedly cannot be present on the agreed delivery date? Then you can let us know in advance. This can be done free of charge up to 24 hours in advance. If you change the delivery date within 24 hours, we are obliged to charge € 75,- ex VAT. If you are not present at the time of the actual delivery, we must charge € 149,- ex VAT for the costs incurred.
We will contact you within 24 hours to make a new appointment with you.

3.5 The risk on the items passes when the items are supplied by vsheftrucks to the Customer. If delivery of the items is delayed by the Customer, he is in default without notice of default from the moment that vsheftrucks has indicated that the items are ready for shipment.

3.6. The customer receives a packing slip upon delivery. All details of the vehicle are stated on this: warranty period, any defects, time position etc. The customer signs the packing slip and the transporter brings a copy of the packing slip for the administration of vsheftrucks. When signing the packing slip, the Customer agrees to the contents of the packing slip.

5.7 If vsheftrucks has repaired material and/or construction defects under the warranty, replaced the relevant item, or refunded the purchase price, it is fully informed with regard to its warranty obligations and vsheftrucks will not be obliged to pay any further (damage) compensation.
