  1. All offers of SlingoMama are non-binding and may be revoked at any time, also if the offer states a term for acceptance, unless SlingoMama stated otherwise in writing.

  5. Any liability claim against SlingoMama lapses 12 months after the customer became or could reasonably have become aware of the harmful event.

12. Indemnification

  1.

  5. If the Customer fails to take adequate measures, SlingoMama has the right, without any notice of default, to do so itself. All resulting costs and loss on the part of SlingoMama and third parties are entirely for the Customer’s account and risk.

  1. Title to the Products that SlingoMama delivers to the Customer does not pass to the Customer until the Customer has paid all current or future amounts payable to SlingoMama on the grounds of all the Agreements with the Customer and all the Products delivered in that regard, within the limits of Section 3:92 of the Dutch Civil Code.
  2. SlingoMama does not lose its title or reserved title if and/or because the Customer processes or treats the Products received from SlingoMama. In that case the Customer automatically holds the Products on behalf of SlingoMama.

    1. insure the Products delivered but not or not yet paid for or paid for in full;
    2. at SlingoMama’s request immediately transfer to SlingoMama by means of assignment all rights of action that the Customer may have against third parties with regard to the Products delivered by SlingoMama;

The Customer is required to fully cooperate on pain of a penalty payable immediately of 10% per day or part of a day on which the Customer fails to perform this obligation of all the amounts that the Customer owes SlingoMama, without prejudice to SlingoMama’s right to demand performance of the obligations referred to in the preceding sentence and/or damages.
  5. The market value of the Products taken back on the date on which they are taken back on the grounds of this Article will be credited to the Customer.
  6. Moreover, the Customer delivers all Products subject to an undisclosed pledge on the Products for SlingoMama’s benefit. After the retention of title lapses, title to the Products is therefore transferred to the Customer subject to an undisclosed pledge for the benefit of SlingoMama. Those rights of pledge serve as additional security for the payment of any and all claims that SlingoMama has or acquires against the Customer on any ground whatsoever. At SlingoMama’s first request the Customer will sign a deed of pledge and will register that deed with the tax authorities.

14. Product recall

  1.

If SlingoMama performs a product recall as described above, the Customer must take all the measures in that regard that SlingoMama considers necessary and must comply with all the instructions given by SlingoMama regarding the products recall. The Customer in its turn must also take measures to limit the loss to the extent possible and must use its best endeavors in that regard. If SlingoMama decides to perform a product recall, it is required only to either replace the Product or to send the Customer a credit note for the Product recalled. In the event of a product recall SlingoMama is not liable for any loss incurred by the Customer.

    2. the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions shall remain in full force and effect.

17. Force Majeure

  1. SlingoMama will not be liable for any delay in performing or failure to perform any of its obligations under these Terms or the Agreement caused by events beyond its reasonable control.

18. Assignment

  1. Customer is not permitted to assign, delegate or otherwise transfer the Agreement or any rights hereunder. Any such attempted assignment, delegation or transfer will be null and void.

20. No Waiver

  1. The failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, a right, power or remedy provided by the Agreement or these Terms or by law shall not constitute a waiver of that right, power or remedy. If SlingoMama waives a breach of any provision of these Terms or the Agreement, this shall not operate as a waiver of a subsequent breach or that provision or as a waiver of a breach of any other provision.

21. No Beneficiaries

  1.
