    independent supplier for industrial bearings and technical components, approved
    for industrial supply operations within the European market.
  5. Buyer: [NAME], any natural or legal person (manufacturer, maintenance
    organization, engineering company, or technical distributor) signing these General
    Terms or entering into an agreement with ABS.
  6. General Terms: These General Terms and Conditions of Sales shall exclusively
    apply to every offer, agreement, and contract between the Parties.
  7. Products: Rolling bearings, ball bearings, linear motion products, housing units,
    sealing solutions, and any other industrial property or services sold by ABS to the
    Buyer.
    Article 2. GENERAL & SCOPE
    The fact that the Buyer uses, holds, or accepts any Product from ABS, or authorizes ABS
    to start the provision of technical services, shall be considered as irrevocable proof of the
    order and as absolute acceptance of these General Terms.
    These General Terms shall exclusively apply to all contracts and agreements between
    ABS and its clients. Any differing, conflicting, or additional conditions or terms of the
    Buyer are herewith expressly objected to and shall not apply, unless otherwise agreed
    upon in writing by the management of ABS. The submission of these terms is made for
    informational purposes and becomes binding upon the commercial release of the
    transaction.
    Article 3. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & CONFIDENTIALITY
    The Parties hereby agree that all commercial, logistical, and technical information sent by
    ABS to the Buyer for the purpose of performance under these Terms shall be considered
    strictly confidential information. The Buyer shall keep all confidential information secret
    and shall not disclose or transfer it to any third party without the express written consent
    of ABS.
    All studies, drawings, schemas, calculations, plans, projects, and documents of any type
    produced by ABS or arising as a result of the performance of these General Terms shall
    remain the absolute and exclusive property of ABS. They cannot be revealed,
    reproduced, transferred, or executed without the prior written consent of ABS.
    Article 4. PRICE & PRICING BASIS
    The prices submitted by ABS are based on the market and raw material prices on the
    date of the offer. However, ABS reserves the express right to calculate the final price on
    the basis of the market price on the actual delivery date, in accordance with its internal
    condition structure (Reference: List price level).
    Unless otherwise explicitly stipulated, delivery shall be „Ex-Works“ (EXW) for items
    without packaging. All rights, insurances, packaging, transport costs, postal charges, set-
    up charges, initializing, and technical adjustments, as well as any present or future
    taxes, are not included in the price and are the sole responsibility of the Buyer.
    The prices for the provision of any Products or services apply strictly during the normal
    operating hours of ABS. Outside of these hours, additional labor and operational costs will
    be invoiced. Sales agents, delegates, or technicians of ABS are not its mandatories;
    promises or acceptances made by them commit ABS only after a written ratification by
    the executive management.
    Article 5. SHIPPING, TRANSPORT & TRANSFER OF RISK
    By picking up, accepting, or signing for the Products via a transporter, the Buyer confirms
    that he has thoroughly inspected the Products and evaluated their state and quality in a
    due manner. The Products satisfy the Buyer’s needs, and the latter waives any claims
    against ABS regarding the state, visual defects, or quality of the Products now and in the
    future.
    The Buyer commits to collect or remove the Products no later than 8 calendar days after
    receiving notice that the Products are at his disposal. After this period, the Products will
    be placed in storage and handled at the sole expense and risk of the Buyer.
    Article 6. SET-UP, INITIALIZING & RECEIPT
    ABS will be responsible for the proper functioning of the industrial components only if
    their set-up, initializing, and technical adjustment have been ordered at the location of
    ABS and executed by its authorized personnel.
    When ABS proceeds to the set-up for a lump sum, all additional expenses resulting from
    lost time or delays that are not caused by ABS will be invoiced to the client in addition to
    the agreed price. It is the Buyer’s responsibility to receive and approve the items in the
    stores of ABS before shipping. The signature of the Buyer, his transporter, or freight
    forwarder on the delivery note implies final acceptance of the item.
    Article 7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
    ABS shall only be liable if damages occur due to proven gross negligence or intentional
    misconduct. ABS shall in no case be liable for:
  8. The Buyer’s losses or business interruptions resulting through no fault on the
    Seller’s side.
  9. Accidental or non-accidental damage caused to the Goods after the transfer of
    risk.
  10. Indirect or consequential damages caused by the Goods to third parties or
    operations (downtime, production loss) after they have been transferred over to
    the Buyer.
    Article 8. WARRANTY
    The warranty of the Products is strictly limited to the original Manufacturer’s warranty
    and never applies to second-hand items, surplus stocks, or clear-out components.
    The warranty strictly excludes:
    Transport, shipping, and travel costs of technical personnel.
    Fast-wearing parts due to their nature, friction, or normal industrial use.
    Products entrusted to unauthorized third parties for verification, modification, or
    repair.
    Deteriorations, breakages, cracks, or accidents resulting from excessive
    utilization, non-conventional utilization, neglect, defective maintenance, or the
    inexperience of people handling the Products.
    The Buyer cannot make any change or technical modification, even the smallest one, to
    the delivered item without the express written authorization of ABS. The warranty applies
    only if the client has fully respected all payment commitments. The Buyer does not have
    the right to postpone or withhold payments due to a pending warranty claim. Replaced
    parts remain the property of ABS.
    Article 9. RETENTION OF PROPERTY
    The ownership of all Products shall remain the sole and absolute property of ABS until
    such time as the Buyer has paid in full the agreed price for the Products, all costs for
    services rendered in relation to these Products, as well as all interest, collection costs
    due, and liquidated damages in case of default.
    However, all risks of loss, theft, or damage are borne by the customer as soon as the
    Products are placed at his disposal. In the event a shipment is delayed under the Buyer’s
    decision, the amount due is payable, at the latest, one month after the initial notice of
    the Product’s disposal.
    Article 10. TERMS OF PAYMENT & DEFAULT
    Unless otherwise stipulated, all supplies, component deliveries, and repairs made by ABS
    are payable 30% at the date the order is executed, and the remaining balance must be
    paid in full before delivery or picking. All invoices issued by ABS must be paid at the head
    office of ABS. Schecks, bank drafts, or digital collection do not execute a novation of the
    debt.
    Any unpaid sum at the due date will cause, by full right and without prior notice:
    a) The application of late interest at the rate of the legal interest plus 2%, from the due
    date until effective payment.
    b) The immediate close-out and cancellation of any terms or installment plans granted to
    the customer.
    c) The immediate payability of the entire balance of all open invoices.
    d) A debit of liquidated damages equal to 10% on the first installment (minimum of
    25.00 Euros) and 5% on the remaining balance.
    e) The recovery of all collection expenses, including attorneys‘ fees in accordance with
    applicable laws.
    Article 11. FORCE MAJEURE
    Force Majeure means any act or event occurring beyond the reasonable control of ABS,
    not at its fault, and which prevents or delays the shipping of industrial bearings. This
    includes, but is not limited to: wars, terrorist actions, floods, earthquakes, maritime
    disasters, epidemics, fires, general strikes, lockouts, supply chain collapse, or
    governmental restrictions.
    In these cases, the Buyer is required to accept the delivery of whatever quantity ABS has
    at its disposal at the current time. Furthermore, ABS reserves the right to extend the
    delivery time if the force majeure makes shipping temporarily impossible.
    Article 12. RESOLUTION & TERMINATION
    In the event that the Buyer fails to fulfill any of his obligations—for instance, if he refuses
    to collect the Products or remains late in his payments—ABS reserves the right to rescind
    and terminate the agreement immediately.
    These General Terms will be rescinded by full right and without prior notice by a
    notification in the form of a letter, fax, or e-mail. All supplies already made must be
    returned immediately at the Buyer’s expense. ABS reserves the right to claim liquidated
    damages equal to a minimum of 25% of the total agreement’s sum.
    Article 13. MISCELLANEOUS
    The Buyer shall not assign these General Terms or any part thereof to any third party
    without the prior written consent of ABS. The agreements set forth herein shall
    supersede all prior written or verbal agreements in effect between the Parties. If any
    provision is found to be invalid, the remaining terms shall stay in full effect.
    Article 14. GOVERNING LAW & JURISDICTION
    All contracts and these General Terms shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the
    Kingdom of Belgium, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale
    of Goods (CISG). In the event of a dispute, controversy, or litigation, the courts in the
    Kingdom of Belgium are the only competent jurisdiction. ABS reserves the right to bring
    action before any other legally competent court.
    Article 15. BUSINESS ETHICS
    ABS promotes an open, fair, and ethical business culture. We realize our work carefully,
    with honesty, and integrity, treating our business partners with equity and respect.
    Our business ethics require that:
    We neither give nor receive bribes, and we do not participate in any form of

    Our business connections are strictly professional and based on mutual trust. The
    value of commercial gifts must always be modest, comply with local customs, and
    never damage the ethical reputation of ABS.

    prohibited.
