G. Liability

1. All deliveries and services are made/rendered at the risk and for the account of the Contracting Party.

2. Save in the event of an intentional act/omission or gross negligence on the part of OCEAN INGREDIENTS or its senior staff, OCEAN INGREDIENTS will in no event be liable for a defect in the goods delivered or services rendered that results from a defect in the raw materials, finished or semi-finished product stored at/supplied by a third party at/to OCEAN INGREDIENTS.

3. In the event of any liability on the part of OCEAN INGREDIENTS, even without the occurrence of the event referred to in the preceding paragraph, any such liability shall be limited to the amount of the invoice concerned or in any event the amount available under the insurance of OCEAN INGREDIENTS or the Contracting Party if and when that liability is covered by an insurance policy, all this without prejudice to the other provisions of these General Terms and Conditions, in particular the clauses pertaining to complaints.

5. With reference to the clauses pertaining to complaints as included in these General Terms and Conditions, there shall be no cause of action for damages on the ground of liability on the part of OCEAN INGREDIENTS for defects in goods or services delivered/rendered, if filed more than 12 months after the time of delivering such goods or rendering such services.

8. OCEAN INGREDIENTS shall in no event be liable for any indirect and/or consequential loss and/or any loss of profits sustained by the Contracting Party.

H. Dissolution

1. The only measure that the Contracting Party shall have in the case of any failure on the part of OCEAN INGREDIENTS is the right to claim damages, notwithstanding the restrictions mentioned in article G. Any entitlement of the Contracting Party to extrajudicial or judicial dissolution of the contract is hereby excluded. Excluded are also the entitlement for the Contracting Party to claim full or partial nullification of the contract, to invoke invalidity thereof or to request amendment under section 6:230 of the Dutch Civil Code, as well as any other measures that the Contracting Party may have in relation to any failure on the part of OCEAN INGREDIENTS.

2. OCEAN INGREDIENTS is authorised to dissolve the contract if and when the Contracting Party, without good reason, refuses to take receipt of the goods sold and/or if it is imminent that Contracting Party (1) will be granted suspension of payments; (2) will be adjudged bankrupt; (3) will be wound up; (4) will cease its business activities, or (5) must otherwise be considered unable to fulfil its obligations under the contract made with OCEAN INGREDIENTS, all this without prejudice to OCEAN INGREDIENTS's right to claim damages or compensation.

With due observance of the provisions hereof, any amount invoiced by OCEAN INGREDIENTS prior to dissolution shall be immediately payable in full when such contract is dissolved.

4. In all events in which OCEAN INGREDIENTS should take account of the fact that the Contracting Party may not be able to fulfil its obligations to OCEAN INGREDIENTS, the Contracting Party shall be required to promptly notify OCEAN INGREDIENTS by telephone and in writing of that risk.

I. Compensation

1. Without prejudice to OCEAN INGREDIENTS's right to claim damages, regardless of the grounds, the Contracting Party shall also be required to compensate OCEAN INGREDIENTS for additional loss which shall in any event include (a) interest on the amount outstanding from the date of default of payment until the date of payment in full at the interest rate on advances determined by De Nederlandse Bank N.V., increased by 5% (five per cent) on an annual basis, and (b) all costs of debt collection, including the costs of return bills, receipts and protests, as well as the judicial and extrajudicial costs of debt collection reasonably sustained by OCEAN INGREDIENTS, which also comprise the costs of legal assistance. Extrajudicial costs are set at a minimum of 15% of the outstanding principal sum.

J. The passing on of rights

1. If OCEAN INGREDIENTS has granted or is considered to have granted to the Contracting Party any guarantee or other right pertaining to the goods sold, any such guarantee or other right shall not pass on to a third party who has acquired the goods, either processed or unaltered, regardless of the title of acquisition, unless OCEAN INGREDIENTS has granted its approval to this in writing.

2. Solely in the event that OCEAN INGREDIENTS wishes to set off debts payable by the Contracting Party, all corporate or non-corporate bodies that form part of the group of companies of which OCEAN INGREDIENTS forms part together, including OCEAN INGREDIENTS itself, shall be considered as one single party vis-à-vis the Contracting Party and its/his successors.

K. Force Majeure

1. Failures on account of which OCEAN INGREDIENTS cannot fulfil its obligations but which cannot be attributed to OCEAN INGREDIENTS and which do not entitle the Contracting Party to compensation shall in any event include (a) unavoidable failures, resulting from Acts of God, war, threat of war or similar circumstances, riots and serious uproar; (b) failures caused by unforeseen interruption of the supply of raw materials and semi-finished products, including extreme weather conditions; (c) the illness of individuals, to such extent that proper and/or timely fulfilment is reasonably impossible; (d) strikes, lockouts or similar actions in or against the OCEAN INGREDIENTS's business or any affiliated company, its suppliers or third parties OCEAN INGREDIENTS engaged by OCEAN INGREDIENTS; (e) damage to stored goods, production and distribution facilities and/or other facilities caused by fire, storm or by external circumstances unforeseen and/or (f) measures imposed by any national or international government body/industrial body.

2. In the event of force majeure, without prejudice to the provisions of these General Terms and Conditions and without prejudice to OCEAN INGREDIENTS's other rights, OCEAN INGREDIENTS shall be entitled to suspend or dissolve a contract without any judicial intervention being required and without OCEAN INGREDIENTS being required to pay damages on that account.

3. If at the time an event of force majeure occurs OCEAN INGREDIENTS has partly fulfilled its obligations under a contract, the Contracting Party must pay the invoice/invoices or, as the case may be, the costs sustained by OCEAN INGREDIENTS accordingly, as if this regarded a separate contract.

L. Payment

1. The price for the services rendered by OCEAN INGREDIENTS and/or for goods delivered by OCEAN INGREDIENTS to the Contracting Party shall be paid without any deductions, delay, discount and/or set-off within a term of nine days, which term commences on the day the relevant invoice is sent to the Contracting Party, unless explicitly otherwise agreed by contract.

2. If the Contracting Party fails to make payment within the term set in the preceding clause, the Contracting Party shall be in default upon the expiry of that term, without any notice of default being required, and shall owe interest from that moment on at the rate defined in these General Terms and Conditions, in particular the provisions of article I.

3. Any payment received from the Contracting Party, regardless of the amount, shall be applied first to settle or towards settling interest and costs of debt collection that have become due, and subsequently applied to settle or towards settling the longest outstanding amount payable by the Contracting Party, unless the Contracting Party explicitly directs otherwise in writing.

4. Payments made to representatives of OCEAN INGREDIENTS shall never serve to release the Contracting Party of its obligation of payment, unless OCEAN INGREDIENTS granted its explicit approval to this in writing.

5. All costs, commission payments, taxes and other expenses, of whatever nature, that are payable in respect of goods or services, regardless of the manner of payment, shall be for the account of the Contracting Party.

6. At any time, OCEAN INGREDIENTS shall be entitled to demand security for payment before delivering goods or rendering services, or to suspend the fulfilment of its obligations if this security is not or cannot be provided.

7. OCEAN INGREDIENTS reserves the right to demand full and cash payment in advance for the delivery of goods or the rendering of services. If the Contracting Party fails to such payment in full and in cash, the goods are not delivered/the services are not rendered. In that case, OCEAN INGREDIENTS shall not be in default. If OCEAN INGREDIENTS is already deemed to be in default, the period of default will end if Contracting Party does not meet the terms of payment.
