The user shall pay particular attention to the interests of third parties, offensive content and content which may be contrary to public order or morality. The user remains responsible for the content he publishes on the website.
The provider assures that he is the rightful owner of the articles he offers for sale (or otherwise wishes to commercialise) on the website, as well as of the image material supplied, or that he, on behalf of the rightful owner, is entitled to offer these articles for sale (or otherwise to commercialise).
LABCONSORT BV may exercise moderation in any publication and refuse to publish the content online. LABCONSORT BV also has the option to change the content published by a provider.
The provider will be notified of the refusal or modification by e-mail at the e-mail address provided by him. After this notification, the provider has a period of 3 calendar days to object in writing to the refusal or modification that has been made. In the absence of any timely objection, the user shall be deemed to have accepted the refusal or modification made by LABCONSORT BV.

II. Terms and conditions of the sale
These general terms and conditions of sale define the mutual rights and obligations in the event of a customer purchasing products on the website.
These general terms and conditions of sale express all obligations of the respective parties. The customer is deemed to accept them without reservation, failing which his order will not be accepted.
Exceptions to the provisions of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale may be made in exceptional cases, but only if such exceptions have been agreed in writing. Such exceptions may consist of changing, adding or deleting the provisions to which they refer and shall not affect the application of the other provisions of the General Terms and Conditions.
LABCONSORT BV reserves the right to amend the General Terms and Conditions from time to time. The changes will be applicable as soon as they are put online and will apply to any purchase after that date.
For the services of LABCONSORT BV for a pre-owned sale, a commission of 19.5% of the relevant item is charged. This amount is already included in the price of the product published on the website. LABCONSORT BV reserves the right to adjust the commission charged if the advertiser changes the advertisement.
As an intermediary in a sale, LABCONSORT BV is not the owner of the product in question at any time during the process. The seller is responsible for the delivery to the buyer of an article that meets the expectations raised in the advertisement and during the mediation process.
All prices are stated in euros and do not include delivery costs.
The supplier should make his remarks concerning any commission or other amounts due known to LABCONSORT BV within a period of 72 hours, which begins when the amounts in question are made payable by LABCONSORT BV.
If the bidder decides to withdraw a publication, the bidder grants LABCONSORT BV the right to purchase the item in question at the price requested by the bidder. If LABCONSORT BV wishes to avail itself of this option, it must write to the bidder to that effect within a period of 3 calendar days. If LABCONSORT BV does not avail itself of this first right of purchase within this period of five working days, the supplier is free to withdraw the offer of the item in its entirety.
If LABCONSORT BV decides to exercise its right of purchase while a product of the supplier is no longer available, without the latter having requested the withdrawal of the publication, the supplier shall owe LABCONSORT BV a lump-sum compensation of EUR 90,00 per product.
The products are described and presented with the greatest possible accuracy. However, LABCONSORT BV cannot be held liable for any errors or omissions in the presentation.
The presentation of the products offered has no contractual value whatsoever.
LABCONSORT BV is not liable for non-compliance or violation of legal obligations and regulations by the respective providers. At no time does LABCONSORT BV accept any liability for shortcomings on the part of the respective suppliers.
For providers that do not comply with the fee and payment conditions, all advertisements will be removed from the website without delay. In such a case, the provider shall owe EUR 90,00 per advertisement.
The provider accepts the usual legal liabilities resulting from the sale to the customer. The supplier is therefore liable to the customer, inter alia, but not exclusively, for non-conforming delivery and/or hidden defects.
The supplier is furthermore liable towards LABCONSORT BV and/or possible third parties for all damages caused by a violation of statutory provisions and for all damages which may occur due to a failure to comply with these General Terms and Conditions.
LABCONSORT BV is not liable for any damage to third parties and is not obliged to indemnify the provider against any claims by third parties. On the other hand, the Provider shall indemnify LABCONSORT BV for third party claims related to the products supplied by the Provider.
In the event that a third party independently organizes the shipment of goods, Labconsort shall not be held liable for any costs, activities, or logistical arrangements associated with such shipments. Furthermore, LABCONSORT BV shall not be obligated to engage a customs agent or facilitate any customs clearance activities on behalf of the organizing party.
LABCONSORT's role in such cases will be strictly limited to the release of the goods and the issuance of an invoice as per the agreed-upon terms. Under no circumstances will LABCONSORT BV sign or endorse any customs documentation provided by third parties, nor will it assume any responsibility for the customs clearance process.
Once the goods have been released by LABCONSORT, all subsequent responsibilities, including but not limited to administrative, tax, legal, or regulatory obligations, shall rest solely with the party organizing the shipment. This includes any entity or individual responsible for coordinating the shipment, including the purchaser, seller, or any designated third-party logistics provider.
LABCONSORT's involvement, therefore, is restricted exclusively to the role of facilitating the release of the goods. All risks, responsibilities, and liabilities related to the shipment, including compliance with customs regulations and any other legal or financial obligations, shall be borne entirely by the party responsible for organizing and paying for the shipment.
By proceeding with such independently organized shipments, the responsible party acknowledges and agrees to indemnify LABCONSORT from any claims, penalties, or liabilities that may arise due to non-compliance or other issues related to the shipment.
III. Right of withdrawal
In view of the professional nature of LABCONSORT BV, the provider and the customer, consumer law shall not generally apply.
Therefore, the parties cannot rely on the relevant provisions in their internal relationship, including but not limited to the statutory warranty obligations, the right of withdrawal or other consumer protection.
IV. Force Majeure
If a party is fully or partially prevented from executing the agreement due to an unforeseen circumstance beyond its control, this shall be regarded as force majeure.
In the event of force majeure, the party invoking it shall be entitled to suspend performance of the contract in whole or in part for the duration of the force majeure.
V. Independence of provisions
If one or more of these general terms and conditions are declared unlawful, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
The unlawfulness or the partial or total invalidity of any provision of these general terms and conditions shall not affect the validity or the application of the other provisions.
VI. Reimbursement and compensation in case of transport damages
If there is any transport damage caused by a shipment organised by LABCONSORT BV, this must be reported in writing by e-mail to metin.zwart@labconsort.com or registered mail within 36 hours of receipt of the package. The delivery time when signing your receipt by the forwarder is leading as the start time for this. If this is not carried out within 36 hours LABCONSORT BV shall in no case be liable to pay any damages the customer suffers or might suffer.
VII. Applicable law and competent court
These general terms and conditions are governed by Belgian law. In the event of a dispute and in the absence of an amicable settlement, the dispute shall be submitted to the courts of the judicial district of LABCONSORT BV's registered office RPR/RPM BRUSSELS, Dutch-speaking division.
VII. Prices are in Euro's
Based on the purchase prices, wages, labour costs, social and government costs, transport costs, insurance premiums and other costs of LABCONSORT BV valid at the time of the Offer or (if no explicit Offer was made) on the order date;
based on delivery ex works (EXW - Incoterms), all in accordance with the latest version of the Incoterms, whereby in case of Goods delivered directly by Producer to the Other Party under the Agreement, "ex works" shall mean the moment when the Goods are separated from the stock and made ready for shipment by Producer for the benefit of the Other Party at the manufacturer's site;
exclusive of import duties and special taxes;
exclusive of VAT, levies (such as excise duties) and other similar duties;
exclusive of the costs of packaging, loading and unloading, disposal contribution, transport and insurance;
exclusive of the costs of assembly, installation, adjustment, calibration and commissioning;
excluding any other costs similar to any of the above.
VIII. Warranty
Labconsort BV does not provide a warranty on used equipment, unless otherwise agreed. The warranty period is calculated from the delivery to the purchaser and only applies to the functioning of the purchased goods, specifically the components. The warranty period must be explicitly agreed upon in writing in advance.
Exclusions from this warranty include consumables (disposables), lamps, batteries, accumulators, liquids, filters, both internal and external vacuum pumps, and defects caused by misuse, minor visible damage, and/or signs of wear and tear.
Acid cabinets, flow cabinets, biological safety cabinets, powder extraction cabinets, and point extraction are delivered without a warranty on the filter. Labconsort BV recommends the purchaser to purchase a new filter in all cases.
Faults in the delivered goods covered under warranty will be repaired or replaced solely at the discretion of Labconsort BV. Labconsort BV reserves the right not to repair goods if the repair costs exceed 15% of the value of the item. In such cases, Labconsort BV will offer an alternative solution. Additionally, Labconsort provides the purchasing party with full warranty coverage of 15% of the purchase amount, enabling them to initiate repairs with a supplier of their choice.
Should a malfunction occur within the warranty period in the delivered equipment, Labconsort BV will first attempt to resolve the complaint remotely. If this is not possible, the purchaser must send the goods carriage paid to Labconsort BV. The equipment must be cleaned to such an extent that there is no risk of contamination for Labconsort BV employees or third parties engaged by them, and must always be provided with a clean declaration issued by an authorized person (a sample of which is available from Labconsort BV).
Warranty repairs are principally carried out by Labconsort BV's technical service during normal working hours. Labconsort BV reserves the right to have warranty work performed outside its own company if, in the judgement of Labconsort BV, this is in the interest of the work or if performing such work within Labconsort BV is not possible or desirable.
If Labconsort BV needs to have warranty work performed outside its own company, it is entitled to charge the purchaser for any associated travel and accommodation costs, as well as any special costs of transport, packaging, and insurance, and the costs of the test equipment and materials to be used.
If it turns out that goods offered to Labconsort BV for repair or restoration do not show any defects, the purchaser is obliged to pay all costs incurred by Labconsort BV.
All (warranty) claims are voided if the purchaser makes changes and/or repairs to the delivered goods themselves or has them made, or if the delivered goods are not used or handled precisely according to the accompanying or applicable factory instructions or user manual or are used or handled in any other incompetent manner, or if a software adjustment has taken place in or with respect to the delivered goods that was not performed by Labconsort BV, or if the delivered goods are used or applied for other purposes than for which they are intended, or if the delivered goods are used in a way that Labconsort BV could not reasonably have expected.
It is strictly prohibited to remove system labels, maintenance labels, or guarantee markings affixed to our laboratory systems or instruments. Engaging in such actions may result in the following consequences: repair delays or warranty voidance.
Non-compliance by the purchaser with one or more of its obligations relieves Labconsort BV of its warranty obligations.
Fulfilling the warranty obligation is the only and full compensation.
IX. Installation Services by Labconsort BV:
When Labconsort is engaged as an installer for a third-party or a purchaser, it is explicitly understood that our services are limited to the installation of pre-owned systems provided by Labconsort. This condition is non-negotiable and integral to the service agreement.
Standard installation pricing: the standard fee for installation services provided within the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany is set at 1250 euros. This fee has been determined based on a comprehensive assessment of the average scope of work and resources required for typical installations.
Our services strictly exclude the manipulation, alteration, or handling of any gas fittings, water pipes, or other types of piping, as well as electrical power supplies, regardless of their location—whether on the walls, within, or outside the building premises. Additionally, our installation scope does not cover any services beyond connecting the system to a computer and other gas, water or electrical network connections. This policy is in place to uphold stringent safety standards and regulatory compliance, ensuring a focus on our area of expertise while safeguarding all involved.
Non-included items: additionally, the installation fee does not cover any tubing, cables, or other accessories that are not part of the standard package accompanying the pre-owned system. Any requirement for additional accessories or modifications to accommodate the installation will be the responsibility of the client.
Additional charges for unforeseen circumstances: in events where installation cannot be completed due to the absence or inadequacy of necessary power cables, power sockets, tubing, or due to non-conforming, non-fitting pipes or fittings, a new appointment will be required. For such instances, an additional installation fee of 1250 euros will be applied. This charge is to cover the additional time, resources, and scheduling required to complete the installation under these circumstances.
Limitation of Liability: Labconsort expressly disclaims any responsibility for adverse damage that may arise directly or indirectly as a result of the installation process. This includes, but is not limited to, any material or immaterial damage that may ensue following the installation or as a consequence of not adhering to provided instructions. The client acknowledges and agrees that all installation activities are undertaken at their own risk, and Labconsort shall not be held liable for any damages or losses incurred.
X. Acceptance and complaints
The receipt of goods also constitutes their acceptance. Complaints will only be considered if they are reported within 72 hours via e-mail to metin.zwart@labconsort.com or by registered mail to the the entity:

Cancellation at the request of the Client
Mutual consent
Principal may request LABCONSORT BV to agree to the cancellation of an Agreement that has already been placed but has not yet been performed.
Agreement that has already been concluded but has not yet been executed. Cancellation of an Agreement cannot take place before Parties have reached a written agreement on the cancellation conditions, including the amount of the cancellation costs, and after all agreed cancellation conditions have been met in full in the opinion of LABCONSORT BV.
Moment of Cancellation
As long as the Parties have not reached agreement on the cancellation conditions or as long as the cancellation conditions have not been completely met in the opinion of the LABCONSORT BV, the Agreement will continue to exist and the Parties will continue to be obliged to fulfil their mutual obligations.
Height of cancellation costs
The amount of the cancellation costs will be determined by the LABCONSORT BV in each individual case. The following factors, among others, are important in determining the amount of the cancellation costs:
- The amount involved in the Agreement;
- The extent to which performance of the Agreement has already progressed;
- the type of Agreement (delivery of goods, development order, delivery of a work, service agreement, training, etc.);
- the costs already incurred by LABCONSORT BV up to the moment of cancellation; the obligations already entered into by LABCONSORT BV in connection with the performance of the Agreement;
- the actions which LABCONSORT BV must take in connection with the cancellation;
- the profit lost by LABCONSORT BV as a result of the cancellation.
Damage due to cancellation
In the event of cancellation of an Agreement, LABCONSORT BV will under no circumstances be obliged to compensate any damage which

X. Delivery and delivery time
Administration costs
For orders not exceeding an amount to be determined by LABCONSORT BV, LABCONSORT BV may charge a fee to be determined by LABCONSORT BV as a contribution to administrative and logistic costs.
Time of delivery
The time of delivery is, in the case of delivery within Belgium, the time at which the goods to be delivered are unloaded or discharged at the place agreed for that purpose. In the event of delivery outside Belgium, the moment of delivery is the moment at which the Contractor has complied with all obligations in accordance with the Incoterms provisions agreed by the Parties
Notification of transport damage, etc.
In the absence of which the goods will be deemed to have reached Principal in good order, complete and without damage.
Deliveries in parts
LABCONSORT BV is entitled to deliver the goods in parts and to invoice these parts separately.
Return
Goods delivered by LABCONSORT BV or any part thereof may only be returned to the Customer, for whatever reason, after prior permission in writing and only in accordance with any dispatch instructions given by the LABCONSORT BV to the Customer.
Non-acceptance of goods
In the event that Principal does not accept a delivery offered by provider or has indicated not to accept it, provider is nevertheless entitled to charge principal for the goods concerned and Provider is furthermore entitled to store these goods at his own discretion and at the expense and risk of Principal as long as he deems appropriate, without prejudice to all other rights granted to him by law in connection with the non-performance by Principal.
Permits
The Customer is responsible, at its own expense, for obtaining the permits, concessions, licences and consents.
Delivery time
Foreign Supplies
It is possible that the goods offered by provider, such as parts, semi-manufactured products or raw materials required for their production, hereinafter referred to as: 'Foreign Supplies', are directly or indirectly delivered from various continents and countries and/or are obtained from various Suppliers. LABCONSORT BV cannot rule out that, in exceptional cases, these foreign supplies may be difficult to obtain or may not be available at all for some time as a result of, for example, scarcity of raw materials on the world market, environmental disasters and significant fluctuations on the supply side. As a result, it is not always possible for LABCONSORT BV to predict, at the time the order is placed, exactly when delivery will be possible. However, in order to inform.
In order to inform the Client as accurately as possible, Provider uses the working method as described in the following paragraphs of this article.
No strict deadlines
Provider states the estimated delivery times in his Offer. After the Agreement has been concluded, Provider can verify these estimated delivery times and confirm them to Principal. The verified delivery times may deviate from the estimated delivery times in the Offer. Neither the estimated delivery times nor the verified delivery times are final deadlines.
Extending delivery times
As unexpected situations may arise during the purchase, production, assembly and transport of the ordered goods and of the materials, raw materials and semi-manufactured products incorporated therein, over which the LABCONSORT BV in all reasonableness has no influence, the LABCONSORT BV is entitled to extend the verified delivery times by a maximum of four weeks.
Termination after four extensions
In the event that the expected delivery time has been extended more than four times, the Client will have the right to terminate all or part of the agreement. When customer terminates the Agreement on the basis of this termination of the agreement pursuant to this provision, this will not result in any obligation on the part of either party to compensate the other party for damage suffered as a result of the termination.
XI. Applicable law and disputes
All offers made by LABCONSORT BV, all Agreements concluded by or on behalf of the LABCONSORT BV and all other legal relationships between the Parties shall be governed by Belgian law. The applicability of the Vienna Sales Convention 1980 is excluded.
