If SportSupport knows or suspects that it cannot deliver in time, SportSupport will inform the customer as soon as possible.

9.2     If the customer is (partly) invoiced in advance, the delivery period starts when SportSupport has received the payment from the customer.

10.7     In the event of liquidation, bankruptcy, seizure or suspension of payment from the customer, the claims of SportSupport on the customer are immediately payable.

10.8     Each payment by the customer is first and foremost for the settlement of the interest due and then for the settlement of the costs incurred on the recovery. Only after payment of these amounts will any payment by the customer serve to settle the outstanding principal.

10.9      Complaints do not suspend the customer’s obligation to pay.

Article 11.       Customer’s obligations

12.2      In the case of the supply of identical, non-individualisable products, the batch of products belonging to the oldest invoices shall always be deemed to have been sold first. The retention of title therefore always rests on all delivered products that are still in the stock, shop and/or contents of the customer at the time of invoking retention of title.

12.3      As long as ownership of the products has not passed on to the customer, the customer may not:

1. 1. 1. Pawn the products;
      2. Grant any other right thereto to third parties;
      3. Resell the products outside of normal business.

12.5      If the customer fails to fully comply with his obligations to SportSupport and, in the event of the termination of the contract, under any circumstances, SportSupport is entitled to withdraw all products on which the reservation of ownership rests, without prior notice of default or judicial intervention, without prejudice to SportSupports right to full compensation. 

12.6     If SportSupport wishes to make use of its right, as defined in this article, then the customer is obliged to grant SportSupport access to all locations where the SportSupport products are located.

14.2      The customer is responsible under all circumstances for the accuracy and completeness of the data he provides.

If, in any case, the insurer does not make a payment or the damage is not covered by the insurance, the liability of SportSupport is limited to the price for the product to which the liability relates. 

14.13    Rights of claim and other powers of the customer for whatever reason against SportSupport will in any case expire after 1 year from the moment at which a fact occurs that the customer can exercise these rights and/or powers against SportSupport.

14.14    The customer will indemnify SportSupport against claims brought by third parties against SportSupport in the area of occurrences, deeds or omissions, for which SportSupport is not liable as a result of the foregoing. The customer shall be required, at first request, to compensate SportSupport for any costs, damages and interests that may arise for SportSupport as a direct or indirect consequence of a claim brought against it by a third party referred to in this paragraph.

14.15     If the customer does not comply, in a timely or in due manner, with his contractual obligations or obligations arising from the law or acts unlawfully against SportSupport, the customer must compensate for any damage seen by SportSupport as a result.

15.3      SportSupport also has the right to invoke force majeure if the circumstance preventing (further) compliance occurs after SportSupport should have fulfilled its obligation.

15.4       If the execution of the agreement is temporarily not possible due to force majeure, this does not give the customer the right to terminate the contract free of charge. If the customer terminates the agreement in the event of a temporary inability to perform, SportSupport has the right to charge the customer all costs already incurred.

15.5      SportSupport is not liable for any damage, such as loss of revenue, which the customer suffers because the delivery time is exceeded due to force majeure.

Article 16.           Suspension and termination

16.1    SportSupport is entitled to suspend the execution of the agreement with immediate effect if after the conclusion of the agreement SportSupport becomes aware of circumstances that give good reason to fear that the customer will not fulfil his obligations.

16.3     Furthermore, SportSupport is authorised to terminate the agreement if circumstances arise which are such that compliance with the agreement is impossible or cannot be reasonably expected by standards of reasonableness and fairness or if circumstances arise which are such that unchanged maintenance of the agreement cannot reasonably be expected.

16.7     If SportSupport proceeds to suspend or terminate, it is in no way obliged to compensate damage and costs incurred in any way.
