General Terms and Conditions

INVAR Landmeters BV, with its registered office at Twaalfbunderstraat 10 in 9660 Brakel, holds professional liability insurance with Protect NV under policy number 00202/A.6500.
The scope as described in the quotation will be provided within the outlined offer.
Any deviation from the scope of the quotation must be agreed upon in writing between the client and the contractor.
Our quotations are indivisible.
In case of execution in phases, the contractor reserves the right to review and adjust the quotation and prices at six-month intervals.
Deliverables may only be used for the purposes for which they were drawn up, as stated in the quotation. The expert disclaims any responsibility for potential issues arising from unknown titles or other documents.
The standard payment term for invoices is 30 days from the invoice date, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the client and the contractor.
Elements that are not visible and/or safely accessible cannot be surveyed.
The prices listed in our quotations do not include printing, postage costs, or related ancillary services. If such costs become necessary in the course of the project, they will be invoiced separately as additional charges. These costs are not included in the original price quotation.
The parties agree to exclude the application of Article 6.3 §2 (new) of the Belgian Civil Code. The client shall therefore never hold the auxiliary persons of INVAR Landmeters BV – broadly defined as employees, directors, or any other appointees – liable for acts or omissions in the performance of the agreement. Parties waive any extra-contractual claims in this regard. The parties agree that contractual damages shall never form the basis for a claim for extra-contractual liability against an auxiliary person, except for claims for compensation due to damage affecting physical or psychological integrity or for damages caused with intent to harm. The parties mutually accept that, in any event, the auxiliary persons of the contracting party may invoke the same defenses as provided for under this agreement. This clause remains valid throughout the term of the agreement and continues after its termination.
Schedules must be communicated at least three working days in advance.
Cancellation of an intervention, in an offer containing multiple interventions, within three working days before the scheduled intervention date may result in a minimum intervention charge, depending on the project’s location and scale, corresponding to 2/3/4 hours.
All lump-sum amounts and hourly rates stated in the quotation are based on the execution of the expected works during office hours on weekdays, excluding public holidays, unless explicitly stated otherwise in the quotation. Night and weekend rates are estimated on a project basis.
The contractor undertakes to execute the total confirmed quotation.
Any part canceled by the client after confirmation/order or not executed for any reason may be subject to compensation of 15% of the non-ordered amount.
Boundary markings related to official reports are not included in the quotation unless otherwise specified. Such markings will always take place after the official report has been drawn up and in consultation with the client.
Payments must be made inclusive of VAT and/or other levies. Amounts mentioned in the quotation without specific mention of such levies are always exclusive of these levies and are therefore subject to the applicable charges.
Payment Terms: Fees are payable in Brakel by the due date without any discount. Any disputes must be notified to us in writing and by registered mail within 8 days after receipt of the invoice. All disputes are exclusively subject to the jurisdiction of the Courts of Oudenaarde.
Default Interest: From the due date, a default interest at the legally established rate at the time of invoicing will automatically and without prior notice be due. Each started month is considered a full month. Fixed Compensation: In case of non-payment on the due date due to negligence or bad faith, the outstanding amount will be increased by 10%, or a minimum of €50.00, as conventional penalty compensation, without the need for a prior notice of default. In case of late payment, any received amounts will first be allocated to cover the penalty compensation and other collection costs, then to interest, and finally to the principal amount.
By accepting the quotation — acceptance in any form — the client fully agrees with these general terms and conditions. The general terms and conditions are also mentioned on the quotation itself and referenced in all email communications. Solicitation related to job vacancies is not appreciated. Any unsolicited candidate profiles or CVs sent by recruitment agencies will be considered as having been submitted directly by the candidate, with no entitlement to any fee or obligation on the part of INVAR Landmeters BV.
In case of any discrepancies or uncertainties regarding the interpretation of these terms and conditions, the original Dutch version shall always prevail.
