General Terms and Conditions
Dundas Produkties established in Breda
1 General 1.1 These terms and conditions apply to every offer, quotation, and agreement between Dundas Produkties, hereinafter referred to as 'Contractor', and a Client to which the Contractor has declared these terms and conditions applicable, insofar as the parties have not expressly and in writing deviated from these terms and conditions. 1.2 These terms and conditions also apply for the benefit of third parties engaged by the Contractor for the execution of the work. 1.3 The applicability of any purchasing or other terms and conditions of the Client is expressly rejected. 1.4 Amendments to agreements concluded between the Contractor and the Client, and deviations from these general terms and conditions, shall only be valid if they have been agreed upon in writing between the Contractor and the Client. Agreed deviations shall never apply to more than one issued assignment, unless this has been confirmed in writing. 1.5 If the Contractor engages third parties in the execution of the agreement, it is entitled to invoke against the Client all defenses that these third parties may invoke against the Contractor. 1.6 If one or more provisions in these general terms and conditions are at any time wholly or partially invalid or should be annulled, the remainder of these general terms and conditions shall remain fully applicable. The Contractor and the Client shall then enter into consultation in order to agree on new provisions to replace the invalid or annulled provisions, taking into account, as far as possible, the purpose and intent of the original provisions. 1.7 If the Contractor does not always demand strict compliance with these terms and conditions, this does not mean that the provisions thereof are not applicable or that the Contractor would in any way lose the right to demand strict compliance with the provisions of these terms and conditions in other cases.
TERMS & CONDITIONS - THE BASICS
Having said that, Terms and Conditions (“T&C”) are a set of legally binding terms defined by you, as the owner of this website. The T&C set forth the legal boundaries governing the activities of the website visitors, or your customers, while they visit or engage with this website. The T&C are meant to establish the legal relationship between the site visitors and you as the website owner.
T&C should be defined according to the specific needs and nature of each website. For example, a website offering products to customers in e-commerce transactions requires T&C that are different from the T&C of a website only providing information (like a blog, a landing page, and so on).
T&C provide you as the website owner the ability to protect yourself from potential legal exposure, but this may differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so make sure to receive local legal advice if you are trying to protect yourself from legal exposure.
WHAT TO INCLUDE IN THE T&C DOCUMENT
Generally speaking, T&C often address these types of issues: Who is allowed to use the website; the possible payment methods; a declaration that the website owner may change his or her offering in the future; the types of warranties the website owner gives his or her customers; a reference to issues of intellectual property or copyrights, where relevant; the website owner's right to suspend or cancel a member's account; and much much more.
