These General Terms and Conditions ("Terms") apply to all offers, quotations, contracts, and invoices between Clean-Line srl ("the Company," "we," "us") and its client ("the Client," "you").

Late Payment: In the event of non-payment or partial payment by the due date, the following shall apply automatically and without prior notice of default (de plein droit et sans mise en demeure préalable): * Statutory Interest: A late payment interest will be charged on the outstanding amount at the rate stipulated by the Belgian Act of 2 August 2002. * Fixed Compensation: A fixed indemnity of €40 for recovery costs will be due. * Additional Administrative Fee: In addition to the statutory penalties, we reserve the right to invoice an additional administrative fee of 10% of the overdue invoice amount, with a minimum of €50. This fee will be added to the next invoice. If no subsequent invoice is planned, a separate invoice for all applicable fees and interest will be issued. 4.5. The Company reserves the right to suspend any further services until all overdue amounts are paid in full.
