A4.3. The Customer shall keep their login credentials strictly confidential.

For an Agreement for regular delivery over a specified period: the day on which the first Product is received.

C1.3. The right of withdrawal under Article B1 does not apply to Business Customers.
Article C2. VAT, export and customs

The Business Customer is liable for damages and additional tax assessments resulting from incorrect or invalid information.

Article C3. Payment and payment on account

If payment on account is granted, the payment term is 14 days from the invoice date, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

C4.2. From the date of default, the Business Customer owes statutory commercial interest on the outstanding amount.

Oliemeesters B.V. reserves the right to deviate from this order and proceed directly with collection, depending on the circumstances.

Article C5. Retention of title
C5.1. All Products delivered remain the property of Oliemeesters B.V. until the Business Customer has fully fulfilled all its obligations under all Agreements concluded with Oliemeesters B.V., including interest, costs and claims arising from any breach.

C5.3. The Business Customer shall carefully store the Products delivered subject to retention of title, keep them clearly identifiable and separate, and insure them against the usual risks.
C5.4. If the Business Customer defaults, Oliemeesters B.V. is entitled to repossess the Products. The Business Customer irrevocably grants Oliemeesters B.V. access to the locations where the Products are held for this purpose. The costs of repossession are borne by the Business Customer.
Article C6. Shipping and transfer of risk
C6.1. Deliveries to Business Customers are made FCA Bunschoten (Incoterms 2020). The risk of loss, theft and damage to the Products passes to the Business Customer when the Products are handed over by Oliemeesters B.V. to the carrier. This also applies if Oliemeesters B.V. arranges the transport or pays all or part of the shipping costs, for example when shipping is free above a certain order amount.
C6.2. Oliemeesters B.V. can demonstrate, based on the carrier's information, that the Products have been handed over. From that moment, Oliemeesters B.V. is no longer liable for loss of or damage to the Products during transport. This does not affect Oliemeesters B.V.'s commitment to always assist the Business Customer in the event of a missing or damaged package: we immediately open an investigation with our shipping partner, do everything within our power to ensure the package is delivered after all, and work with the Business Customer to find suitable solutions.
C6.3. The Business Customer may insure the transport risk themselves if desired.
Article C7. Missing or Damage During Transport
C7.1. If the Business Customer reports that a shipment has not arrived or has arrived damaged, Oliemeesters B.V. will follow this procedure:
- Oliemeesters B.V. will initiate an investigation with its shipping partner and keep the Business Customer informed of its progress.
- The Business Customer must cooperate, including by providing photos of the packaging and contents and making inquiries with neighbors, reception, or the pickup point.
- Oliemeesters B.V. will not resend the order while awaiting the outcome of the investigation and will not issue a credit while the investigation is ongoing.
- If the Business Customer wishes to receive the Products sooner, they may place a new order. This will be charged at the normal rate.
- If the investigation finds that the shipment was lost or damaged due to the carrier's actions, and this was reported within the period set by the carrier, Oliemeesters B.V. will endeavor to recover the loss from the carrier. Any compensation to the Business Customer is limited to the amount Oliemeesters B.V. actually receives from the carrier.
C7.2. The Business Customer must report transport damage no later than 7 working days after delivery, in accordance with Article C8.2. The Business Customer must report a shipment that has not arrived no later than 14 working days after the announced delivery date. If reported later, carriers may refuse to investigate, and any claim will be void.
Article C8. Inspection Obligation and Complaint Period
C8.1. Immediately upon receipt, the Business Customer must inspect the delivered Products for visible defects, whether the delivery is correct (including the correct grade and item number), and whether the label is correct.
C8.2. The Business Customer must report visible defects, incorrect deliveries and transport damage to Oliemeesters B.V. in writing no later than 7 working days after delivery. Failure to do so voids any claim.
C8.3. The Business Customer must report non-visible defects within a reasonable time, and no later than 14 working days after discovery, and in all cases within the Product's stated shelf life.
C8.4. The Business Customer will not further process or sell a Product about which they have a complaint and will keep the Product and its packaging available for inspection by Oliemeesters B.V.
C8.5. A complaint does not suspend the payment obligation.
C8.6. Oliemeesters B.V. handles complaints about the quality or composition of a Product based on the batch number and the traceability linked to it. The properties of the delivered Product are assessed against the certificate of analysis (COA) and product data sheet (PDS) for that batch. If those properties fall within the specifications stated therein, Oliemeesters B.V. may refer to them when assessing the complaint. This does not preclude a complaint from being justified on other grounds, for example, an incorrect label or an incorrectly delivered Product. The Business Customer must therefore always include the batch number in a complaint; it can be found on the packaging and the delivery note.
Section C9. Returns and cancellations
C9.1. Business Customers do not have a right of withdrawal. Returns are only possible with prior written approval from Oliemeesters B.V. and must always be arranged in good consultation between Oliemeesters B.V. and the Business Customer.
C9.2. Unfortunately, opened, partially used, unsealed, processed, cut, or labeled Products cannot be returned for reasons of hygiene, shelf life, and traceability.
C9.3. If the Business Customer wishes to return a Product on their own initiative when it is not defective, the original shipping costs will not be refunded and the cost of return shipping will be borne by the Business Customer. In that case, Oliemeesters B.V. may also charge a handling fee of 15% of the invoice value, with a minimum of € 20,00.
C9.4. Custom-made Products, private-label Products, and Products purchased specifically for the Business Customer cannot be canceled or returned.
C9.5. An order may only be canceled if it has not yet been processed.
Section C10. Warranty for business purchases
C10.1. Oliemeesters B.V. warrants that the Products comply with the Agreement, the specifications and grade stated on the product page, in the SDS and in the PDS, and the statutory provisions in force at the time the Agreement is concluded.

C10.3. No warranty is given for deviations resulting from improper storage, improper processing, mixing with other substances, or use of a Product outside the grade for which it was released.
Section C11. Processing, resale, and compliance
C11.1. Oliemeesters B.V. supplies raw materials. The Business Customer that processes the Products into an end product or resells them is solely responsible for complying with all laws and regulations applicable to its end product. This includes, in any event, the product safety assessment, labeling, notification obligations, appointment of a responsible person, and any registration with the competent authorities.
C11.2. The Business Customer indemnifies Oliemeesters B.V. against all third-party claims, including those by end users and regulatory authorities, arising from the Business Customer's end product, its chosen application or grade, or any claims or labeling it uses.

C11.5. Oliemeesters B.V. does not provide advice on the permissibility, dosage, or safety of the Products in the Business Customer's end product. Any information provided by Oliemeesters B.V. is for informational purposes only and does not relieve the Business Customer of its own duty to investigate and exercise due care.
Article C12. Private label and Ready2Label
C12.1. For private label and Ready2Label orders, the Business Customer provides the texts, design, and label information, or approves them in writing before production. After approval, any inaccuracies in the approved information are at the Business Customer's risk and expense.
C12.2. The Business Customer warrants that the brands, texts, images, and claims it provides do not infringe third-party rights and comply with applicable law. The Business Customer indemnifies Oliemeesters B.V. against all third-party claims in this regard.
C12.3. Specially manufactured private label batches cannot be canceled or returned. The Business Customer is required to purchase and pay for the agreed quantity.
C12.4. Private label orders are subject to a minimum order quantity (MOQ) as specified in the quotation.

C13.3. Except in the cases specified in this article, Oliemeesters B.V. shall have no liability to pay compensation on any grounds whatsoever. These limitations do not apply insofar as the damage results from intent or conscious recklessness on the part of Oliemeesters B.V.
C13.4. Liability arises only if the Business Customer gives Oliemeesters B.V. prompt and proper written notice of default, allowing a reasonable period for remedy, and Oliemeesters B.V. remains in default after that period. The notice of default must describe the failure in as much detail as possible.
C13.5. A condition for any right to compensation to arise is that the Business Customer reports the damage to Oliemeesters B.V. in writing no later than 14 days after it occurs.
C13.6. Oliemeesters B.V. is not liable for damage arising from the processing of the Products by the Business Customer, from using a Product outside the grade for which it has been approved, or from the Business Customer's end product.
Article C14. Suspension and termination
C14.1. Oliemeesters B.V. is entitled to suspend performance of its obligations or terminate the Agreement in whole or in part, without being liable to pay compensation, if the Business Customer fails to perform its obligations, performs them late or incompletely, is declared bankrupt, has applied for a suspension of payments, or if its assets have been seized.
