any counterparty. Deviations from these Conditions are only valid if they have been explicitly agreed upon in writing. - Any conditions of the other party are expressly rejected.

intermediaries, will only bind Biogoodz if they have been confirmed in writing by the authorised person or persons of Biogoodz. - The invoice
will also be deemed to be an order confirmation for activities for which, due to their nature and scope, no offer or order confirmation is sent, which is also deemed to reflect the agreement accurately and fully. Biogoodz's administration at

delivery time into account as far as possible. However, stated delivery times will never be deemed to be

delay in delivery by Biogoodz. - All deliveries are made to a location specified by Biogoodz, being Ex Works (EXW) or ex warehouse Biogoodz, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing

, as well as until such time as the counterparty has paid the claims due to
's failure to fulfil such an agreement. As long as the other party has not met its obligations, it will be
holder for Biogoodz with the rights and obligations of a borrower, but will nonetheless bear all risks associated with the application or use
of the goods. Biogoodz will remain authorised during that period to take possession of its property at all times, under
. Any payments that have already been made will be settled in all fairness. Until the counterparty has paid the amounts owed to Biogoodz in full
, Biogoodz will remain the owner of the goods it has sold to the counterparty. The amount payable at

counterparty, as well as the loss that is in any way connected with the agreement. - As long as the amount owed has not been paid, Biogoodz will at all times be authorised and the other party will be obliged to demand or deliver the goods respectively

war, disturbances, strikes, work stoppages, model actions, pandemics, non-fulfilment by a supplier and any

will be obliged to pay this invoice as if it concerned a separate agreement.

and/or auxiliary persons engaged by Biogoodz. - The other party is required to adhere strictly to the instructions for use issued by Biogoodz or the producer. In the event that these
instructions are not followed, each right to compensation will lapse automatically. - Biogoodz is not liable towards the other party for any damage whatsoever, unless such damage is the result of intent or
gross negligence on the part of Biogoodz. The liability for damage will in no case exceed the invoice amount of the goods or products delivered to the other party by
