- Before a (distance) Agreement is concluded, the Buyer will be provided with these general terms and conditions. If this is not reasonably possible, AmaraPure will inform the Buyer of the manner in which the Buyer can view the general terms and conditions, which are in any case published on the AmaraPure website, so that the Buyer can easily store these general terms and conditions on a durable data carrier.
- In exceptional situations, these general terms and conditions may be deviated from if this has been explicitly agreed in writing with AmaraPure.

Article 3 – The Offer
- All offers made by AmaraPure are non-binding, unless expressly stated otherwise in writing. If the Offer is limited or valid under specific conditions, this will be expressly stated in the offer. An Offer is only valid once it has been recorded in writing.
- The Offer made by AmaraPure is non-binding. AmaraPure is only bound by the Offer if the Buyer confirms its acceptance in writing within 14 days, or if the Buyer has already paid the amount due. Nevertheless, AmaraPure has the right to refuse an Agreement with a potential Buyer for a reason that is valid to AmaraPure.
- The Offer contains an accurate description of the Product and/or Services offered, including the corresponding prices. The description is sufficiently detailed to enable the Buyer to make a proper assessment of the Offer. Obvious mistakes or errors in the Offer are not binding on AmaraPure. Any images and/or specific details (including but not limited to models shown and/or provided, examples of documents, as well as specifications of colors, capacities, functionalities, dimensions, and other descriptions in sketches, drawings, brochures, promotional material) in the Offer are only indicative and cannot be grounds for any compensation or termination of the Agreement. Minor deviations that are permissible in the industry are acceptable and do not constitute grounds for termination of the Agreement. AmaraPure cannot guarantee that the colors in the image exactly match the actual colors of the Product.
- Delivery times and deadlines stated in AmaraPure's Offer are indicative and do not entitle the Buyer to termination or compensation if they are exceeded, unless expressly agreed otherwise.
- A composite quotation does not oblige AmaraPure to deliver part of the goods included in the offer or Quotation at part of the quoted price.
- If and insofar as there is an offer, this does not automatically apply to repeat orders. Offers are only valid while stocks last, and according to the principle of "while stocks last."
- If the Offer is based on information provided by the Buyer and this information proves to be incomplete and/or incorrect or is subsequently changed, AmaraPure has the right to adjust the rates, delivery times, and/or prices stated in the Offer. The Buyer is obliged to accept the changed circumstances and to comply with the payment obligations.

- If the acceptance deviates (on minor points) from the Offer, AmaraPure is not bound by it.
- AmaraPure is not bound by an Offer if the Buyer could reasonably have expected or should have understood or ought to have understood that the Offer contained an obvious mistake or clerical error. The Buyer cannot derive any rights from this mistake or clerical error.
- The right of withdrawal is excluded for Buyers who are Companies. Buyers who are Consumers have the right to exercise their right of withdrawal within the statutory period of 14 days. If withdrawal applies, the Buyer shall handle the Product and packaging with care. They shall only unpack or use the Product to the extent necessary to determine the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the Product. This does not apply to cylinders, which must remain sealed to ensure safety. The direct costs of returning the Product shall be borne by the Buyer.
Article 5 – Term of the Agreement
- The duration of the Agreement is for a fixed term and ends upon completion of the assignment.
- The Buyer is not authorized to partially terminate the installation. If the Agreement has already been commenced and the Buyer terminates the Agreement, the Buyer will owe the price applicable to the entire work.
- Both parties may terminate the Agreement on the grounds of an attributable failure to perform if the other party has been given written notice of default and has been given a reasonable period of time to perform its obligations and it fails to do so in an attributable manner. This also includes the Buyer's payment and cooperation obligations.
- Both the Buyer and AmaraPure may terminate the Agreement in whole or in part with immediate effect without further notice of default if one of the parties is in suspension of payments, has filed for bankruptcy, or the company in question is terminated due to liquidation. If a situation as described above arises, AmaraPure shall never be obliged to refund any monies already received and/or pay compensation. AmaraPure shall also be entitled to immediately take back any goods that have not yet been paid for and shall retain the right to claim additional compensation from the Buyer.

If the information necessary for the performance of the Agreement is not provided to AmaraPure in a timely manner, AmaraPure shall be entitled to suspend the performance of the Agreement.
- In performing the Agreement, AmaraPure is not obliged or required to follow the Buyer's instructions if this would alter the content or scope of the Agreement. If the instructions result in additional work for AmaraPure, the Buyer is required to reimburse the additional or incidental costs accordingly.
- AmaraPure may require security from the Buyer or full advance payment before proceeding with the Agreement.
- AmaraPure is not liable for damage of any kind caused by AmaraPure relying on incorrect and/or incomplete information provided by the Buyer, unless AmaraPure was aware of this incorrectness or incompleteness.

- The buyer may purchase a maintenance agreement from a party recommended by AmaraPure, in accordance with that party's applicable terms and conditions and agreement.
- However, the Buyer remains responsible for actually performing (or having performed) maintenance work such as performing updates and/or replacing the battery. If the Buyer fails to carry out such work (in a timely manner), the Products may function less well or even cease to function altogether. Such malfunctioning is at all times at the expense and risk of the Buyer. If the Buyer has an independent maintenance obligation and damage occurs as a result of negligence or poor maintenance, the relevant warranty will lapse.
Article 7 – Product delivery
- If the commencement, progress, or delivery of the Agreement is delayed because, for example, the Buyer has not provided all the requested information or has not provided it on time, has not cooperated sufficiently, the (down) payment has not been received by AmaraPure on time, or any delay arises due to other circumstances beyond AmaraPure's control, AmaraPure is entitled to a reasonable extension of the delivery period. All agreed delivery periods are never strict deadlines. The Buyer must give AmaraPure written notice of default and allow it a reasonable period of time to still be able to deliver. The Buyer is not entitled to any compensation for the delay caused.
- The Buyer is obliged to take delivery of the goods at the time they are made available to it in accordance with the Agreement, even if they are offered earlier or later than agreed.
- If the Buyer refuses to accept delivery or fails to provide information or instructions necessary for delivery, AmaraPure is entitled to store the goods at the Buyer's expense and risk.
- If the Products are delivered by AmaraPure or an external carrier, AmaraPure is entitled to charge delivery costs. These will then be invoiced separately unless expressly agreed otherwise.
- If AmaraPure requires information from the Buyer in connection with the performance of the Agreement, the delivery period shall only commence after the Buyer has provided AmaraPure with all the information necessary for the performance.
- If AmaraPure has specified a delivery period, this is indicative. Longer delivery periods apply to deliveries outside the Netherlands.
- AmaraPure is entitled to deliver the goods in parts, unless otherwise agreed in the Agreement or unless the partial delivery has no independent value. AmaraPure is entitled to invoice the goods delivered in this manner separately.

Article 8 – Packaging and transport
- AmaraPure undertakes to the Buyer to properly package the goods to be delivered and to secure them in such a way that, under normal use, they reach their destination in good condition.
- Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all deliveries are inclusive of sales tax (VAT), packaging and packaging materials, and mandatory disposal fees.
- Accepting goods without comments or remarks on the consignment note or receipt constitutes proof that the packaging was in good condition at the time of delivery.

Article 9 – Investigation, complaints
- The Buyer is obliged to inspect the delivered goods at the time of delivery, but in any case within 7 (calendar) days after receipt of the delivered goods, but only to unpack or use them to the extent necessary to assess whether to retain the Product.

- Any visible defects or shortages must be reported to AmaraPure in writing after delivery at support@amarapure.com. The Buyer has a period of 7 days after delivery to do so.

If the Product is damaged due to careless handling by the Buyer, the Buyer is liable for any reduction in the value of the Product.
- If a complaint is made in good time in accordance with the previous paragraph, the Buyer remains obliged to pay for the purchased goods. If the Buyer wishes to return defective goods, this may only be done with the prior written consent of AmaraPure and in the manner specified by AmaraPure.
- If the Buyer, being a Consumer, exercises their right of withdrawal, they shall return the Product and all accessories, insofar as reasonably possible, in their original condition and packaging to AmaraPure, in accordance with AmaraPure's return instructions. This does not apply to cylinders, which must remain sealed to ensure safety. The direct costs of return shipments are at the expense and risk of the Buyer.
- AmaraPure is entitled to investigate the authenticity and condition of the returned Products before issuing a refund.
- Refunds to the Buyer will be processed as soon as possible, but may take up to 14 days after receipt of the Buyer's notice of termination. Refunds will be made to the account number previously provided.
- If the Buyer exercises its right to complain, the Buyer, being a Company, shall not be entitled to suspend its payment obligation or to offset outstanding invoices.
- In the event of incomplete delivery and/or if one or more Products are missing, and this is attributable to AmaraPure, AmaraPure will, upon request by the Buyer, send the missing Product(s) or cancel the remaining order.

Article 10 – Installation work
- AmaraPure will endeavor to carry out the installation with the utmost care, as may be expected of a good contractor. All Work will be carried out on the basis of a best-efforts obligation, unless a result has been explicitly agreed in writing and described in detail. Under no circumstances does AmaraPure guarantee that the Work carried out and/or the goods delivered by it are suitable for the purpose intended by the Buyer.
- All instructions, directions, advice, and more are deemed to have been given with the express approval of the Buyer if they have been given by employees, subordinates, and/or third parties engaged by the Buyer. Damage resulting from these instructions, etc. being given without authorization or outside the scope of the assignment is entirely at the expense and risk of the Buyer.
- AmaraPure is entitled to engage third parties at its own discretion for the performance of the Work.
- The scope of the Work extends to that which has been explicitly agreed upon by the parties and/or included in the fault report. AmaraPure will inform the Buyer of any circumstances that may affect (the availability of) maintenance.
- The buyer is obliged to ensure that:
- All information, data, and documents necessary for the performance of the Agreement (including maps, drawings, overviews, models, connections, and more) shall be made available to AmaraPure in a timely manner and in the manner desired by AmaraPure.
- AmaraPure will be granted access to the location on the agreed date(s) and times, which location complies with the applicable legal (safety) requirements and working conditions (whether or not in accordance with the collective labor agreement). Failing this, AmaraPure is entitled to suspend its work until these requirements are met, without being obliged to pay any compensation for (delay) damage.
- The third parties engaged by the Buyer perform their work and/or deliveries in such a way that AmaraPure does not experience any delay or obstruction in the performance of the Agreement or Work;

- If the Buyer fails to fulfill the obligations set out in this article in a timely manner, AmaraPure is entitled to suspend the performance of the Agreement until the Buyer has fulfilled its obligations. The costs associated with the delay incurred and/or the costs of performing additional work or other consequences resulting from this shall be borne by the Buyer.
- If the Buyer fails to fulfill its obligations and AmaraPure refrains from demanding fulfillment from the Buyer, this does not affect AmaraPure's right to demand fulfillment at a later date.
- In the event of cancellation by the Buyer less than 48 hours before the scheduled appointment, the Buyer shall be liable for the costs incurred in relation to hired employees, as well as reasonable compensation for AmaraPure's lost working hours.
- If agreed, AmaraPure can configure the Products with an alarm center. AmaraPure will need to provide the necessary data for this.
Article 11 – Additional and reduced work and changes
- If, during the installation, it becomes apparent that the Agreement needs to be amended and/or supplemented, or (at the Buyer's request) further work is required to achieve the Buyer's desired result, the Buyer is obliged to pay for this additional work at the agreed (hourly) rate, plus additional material costs. AmaraPure is not obliged to comply with this request and may require the Buyer to enter into a supplementary Agreement for this purpose.
- If a fixed price has been agreed for the work, AmaraPure will inform the Customer about the additional costs or financial consequences of the additional work.
- If and insofar as a fixed price has been agreed for the performance of certain work, and the performance of that work leads to additional work that cannot reasonably be considered to be included in the fixed price, or the price needs to be increased as a result of incorrect information provided by the Buyer that is relevant to the price determination, (unless AmaraPure should have discovered the inaccuracy of the information before determining the price), AmaraPure is entitled to charge these costs to the Buyer after consultation with the Buyer. If the Buyer, or an authorized employee of the Buyer, is not present at the location, AmaraPure is entitled to either suspend its work or carry out the work it deems necessary in its professional opinion, the costs of which will be borne by the Buyer.
- In the event of hidden defects, or at least unforeseen circumstances, AmaraPure is entitled to charge additional costs if these circumstances lead to additional work.
- Price changes resulting from amendments to the Agreement or based on legislation and regulations must be compensated by the Buyer.

AmaraPure will inform the Buyer of all circumstances that may affect (the availability of) maintenance.
- The Buyer is obliged to report any defects, errors, or other faults to AmaraPure in writing, after which AmaraPure will repair the defects and/or make improvements as soon as possible and to the best of its ability, in accordance with its usual procedures. If desirable, AmaraPure is entitled to first implement temporary solutions, after which a structural solution can be devised and implemented in consultation with the Buyer.
- The buyer is obliged to cooperate with AmaraPure upon first request.
Article 13 – Delivery of installation
- If the commencement, progress, or delivery of the work is delayed because, for example, the Buyer has not provided all the requested information or has not provided it on time, provides insufficient cooperation, the (down) payment is not received by AmaraPure on time, or due to other circumstances that are at the expense and risk of the Buyer, AmaraPure is entitled to a reasonable extension of the delivery period. All agreed delivery periods are never strict deadlines.
- All damage and additional costs resulting from delays due to a cause mentioned in paragraph 1 are at the expense and risk of the Buyer and may be charged to the Buyer by AmaraPure.
- AmaraPure will endeavor to complete the Work within the agreed time frame, insofar as this can reasonably be expected of it.
- When referring to working days, this means all (workable) calendar days with the exception of recognized national holidays and weekends.
- The buyer has an independent responsibility for the management, use, and maintenance of the items manufactured and/or delivered by AmaraPure.
- If AmaraPure has indicated that the work is ready for delivery and the Buyer does not approve the work within a reasonable period of time and does not accept it, with or without reservations, or does not put it into use, process it, or have it processed, the Buyer will be deemed to have tacitly accepted the work. Minor defects that can be repaired during the maintenance period are not grounds for non-acceptance of the delivered work if this does not prevent its use. After acceptance, the work is considered to have been delivered.
- After completion, the work is at the risk of the Buyer. Therefore, the Buyer remains liable for payment, regardless of any destruction or deterioration of the work due to a cause that cannot be attributed to AmaraPure.
- AmaraPure shall not be liable for defects that the Buyer should reasonably have discovered at the time of delivery, except in the case of intent or deliberate recklessness on the part of AmaraPure.

- The prices stated in the Offer are exclusive of VAT, unless expressly stated otherwise.
- The prices stated in the Offer are based on the cost factors applicable at the time of concluding the Agreement, such as: import and export duties, freight and unloading costs, insurance, and any levies and taxes.
- In the case of Products or raw materials subject to price fluctuations on the financial market over which AmaraPure has no influence, AmaraPure may offer these Products at variable prices. The Offer will state that the prices are indicative and may fluctuate.
- When AmaraPure carries out the assignment (in part) at the Buyer's location, additional costs (travel, call-out, parking, and accommodation costs) will be charged for this, unless otherwise agreed. For Work that is or must be carried out on an urgent basis or outside office hours at the Buyer's request, a surcharge may also be charged as agreed in the quotation and/or Agreement. If items need to be shipped, the Buyer shall reimburse AmaraPure for any additional costs incurred.
- The Buyer cannot derive any rights or expectations from a budget provided in advance, unless the parties have expressly agreed otherwise. If the price quoted is a target price, this target price may be adjusted during the performance of the Agreement unless AmaraPure has warned the Buyer as soon as possible of the likelihood of a further overrun and has given the Buyer the opportunity to limit or simplify the work. AmaraPure will cooperate, within the limits of reasonableness, in the limitation or simplification. This also applies if the price depends on the estimated time required for the execution of the work.
- If, between the date of conclusion of the Agreement (or quotation) and its execution, circumstances arise that increase AmaraPure's costs or prices as a result of legislation and regulations, price changes at third parties or suppliers engaged by AmaraPure, or changes in the prices of the necessary semi-finished products, materials, parts, or currency fluctuations, import and export duties (both domestic and foreign), shipping and/or delivery costs, wages, employer's contributions and/or (social) security contributions, etc., AmaraPure is entitled to increase the agreed price or remuneration accordingly and to charge this to the Buyer.
- The Buyer is obliged to pay the agreed deposit within the specified period before AmaraPure commences with the execution of the Agreement. In any case, the Buyer is obliged to reimburse the costs for the materials in advance.
- If a dispute arises between the parties regarding the number of hours worked and/or invoiced, AmaraPure's time registration shall be binding, unless the Buyer can prove otherwise with convincing counterevidence.
- If and insofar as additional costs are incurred and/or there is an increased risk (in the opinion of AmaraPure) during the performance of the Agreement, the Buyer shall pay an additional price for this.
Article 15 – Payment and collection policy
- Payment should preferably be made in advance in the currency in which the invoice is issued, using the specified method, unless another payment method has been agreed.
- The buyer cannot derive any rights or expectations from a budget issued in advance, unless the parties have expressly agreed otherwise.
- The buyer must make a one-time payment to the account number and details provided by AmaraPure. The parties may only agree on a different payment term with the explicit written consent of AmaraPure.
- If a periodic payment obligation on the part of the Buyer has been agreed, AmaraPure is entitled to adjust the applicable prices and rates in writing, subject to a notice period of three months.
- In the event of liquidation, bankruptcy, seizure, or suspension of payments by the Buyer, AmaraPure's claims against the Buyer shall become immediately due and payable.
- AmaraPure has the right to apply payments made by the Buyer first to reduce the costs, then to reduce the interest due, and finally to reduce the principal and the current interest. AmaraPure may, without being in default, refuse an offer of payment if the Buyer specifies a different order of allocation. AmaraPure may refuse full repayment of the principal if the accrued and current interest and the costs are not also paid.
- If the Buyer fails to meet its payment obligation and has not fulfilled its obligation within the specified payment term of no more than 14 days, the Buyer, being a Company, will be in default. The Buyer, being a Consumer, will first receive a written reminder with a period of 14 days after the date of the reminder to still meet the payment obligation, including a statement of the extrajudicial costs if the Consumer does not meet its obligations within that period, before it is in default.
- From the date on which the Buyer is in default, AmaraPure will, without further notice of default, claim the statutory (commercial) interest from the first day of default until full payment and reimbursement of the extrajudicial costs in accordance with Article 6:96 of the Dutch Civil Code, calculated according to the scale set out in the Decree on compensation for extrajudicial collection costs of July 1, 2012.
- If AmaraPure has incurred additional or higher costs that are reasonably necessary, these costs will be eligible for reimbursement. The legal and enforcement costs incurred will also be borne by the Buyer.
Article 16 – Retention of title
- All goods delivered by AmaraPure remain the property of AmaraPure until the Buyer has fulfilled all obligations arising from all Agreements concluded with AmaraPure.
- The buyer is not authorized to pledge the goods subject to retention of title or to encumber them in any other way if ownership has not yet been fully transferred.
- If third parties seize the goods delivered under retention of title or wish to establish or assert rights thereto, the Buyer is obliged to inform AmaraPure of this as soon as may reasonably be expected.
- In the event that AmaraPure wishes to exercise its property rights referred to in this article, the Buyer hereby grants AmaraPure or third parties designated by AmaraPure unconditional and irrevocable permission and authorization to enter all locations where AmaraPure's property is located and to take back those items.
- AmaraPure has the right to retain the Product(s) purchased by the Buyer if the Buyer has not yet (fully) fulfilled its payment obligations, despite an obligation to transfer or deliver on the part of AmaraPure. Once the Buyer has fulfilled its obligations, AmaraPure will endeavor to deliver the purchased Products to the Buyer as soon as possible, but no later than within 20 working days.
- Costs and other (consequential) damage resulting from the possession of the purchased Products are at the expense and risk of the Buyer and shall be reimbursed to AmaraPure by the Buyer upon first request.
Article 17 – Warranty
- AmaraPure guarantees that the Products comply with the Agreement, the specifications stated in the offer, usability and/or soundness, and the legal rules/regulations at the time of the conclusion of the Agreement. However, this does not apply if the goods to be delivered are intended for use abroad and the Buyer has expressly notified the Seller of this use in writing at the time of entering into the Agreement.
- Every warranty is explicitly agreed in writing. Product warranties never extend beyond what is provided by the manufacturer or what has been explicitly agreed. In the event of a conflict, the warranty provided by the manufacturer prevails. AmaraPure does not provide any warranty for sales and/or installation abroad. The warranty period depends on the Product and is the responsibility of the manufacturer/producer. AmaraPure is only responsible for ensuring that the Product has the characteristics that the buyer could reasonably expect it to have.
- The Buyer may only invoke the warranty provided by AmaraPure if the Buyer has fully complied with its payment obligations.
- If the Buyer rightly invokes an agreed warranty, AmaraPure is obliged to repair or replace the delivered goods free of charge. If there is any additional damage, the applicable provisions of liability in these general terms and conditions will apply. The warranty will lapse:
- once the warranty period has expired or the warranty obligation has lapsed.
- as long as the Buyer is in default towards AmaraPure;
- if the Buyer has carried out repair and/or installation work themselves, or has had this carried out by third parties;
- in the event of exposure to abnormal conditions and use contrary to the instructions for use;
- if the Buyer has used Products other than those prescribed by AmaraPure and/or the manufacturer;
Article 18 – Suspension and termination
- AmaraPure is entitled to suspend the fulfillment of its obligations or to terminate the Agreement if the Buyer fails to fulfill its (payment) obligations under the Agreement, either in whole or in part.
- Furthermore, AmaraPure is authorized to terminate the Agreement between it and the Buyer, insofar as it has not yet been performed, without judicial intervention, if the Buyer fails to fulfill its obligations under any Agreement concluded with AmaraPure in a timely or proper manner.
- Furthermore, AmaraPure is authorized to dissolve the Agreement without prior notice of default if circumstances arise that are of such a nature that fulfillment of the Agreement is impossible or can no longer be demanded in accordance with standards of reasonableness and fairness, or if other circumstances arise that are of such a nature that unaltered maintenance of the Agreement cannot reasonably be expected.
- If the Agreement is terminated, AmaraPure's claims against the Buyer shall become immediately due and payable. If AmaraPure suspends the fulfillment of its obligations, it shall retain its rights under the law and the Agreement.
- AmaraPure reserves the right to claim damages at any time.
Article 19 – Limitation of liability

- If, after delivery, the work exhibits defects for which AmaraPure is (proven to be) liable, AmaraPure must be given the opportunity to remedy the defects within a reasonable period of time. The buyer is liable for damage to the work resulting from work carried out by it or by third parties on its behalf.
- The Buyer is also liable for loss and/or theft of and/or damage to the items, tools, materials, and more that AmaraPure uses in the context of the performance of the Agreement during the performance of the Work at the Buyer's premises, including damage caused by imperfections, defects, and more at the work location.
