1.2. The Buyer:
Any natural or legal person acting in the exercise of a profession or business (B2B) who enters into a contract with the Seller. By placing an order, the Buyer explicitly warrants that they are NOT acting as a Consumer as defined in Article 6:230g of the Dutch Civil Code.
1.3. The Products:
Chemical mixtures, specifically alkyl nitrite-based solvents, marketed strictly as “Leather Cleaners” or technical solvents.
1.4. Scope:
These General Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply exclusively to all current and future business relationships, offers, and contracts between the Seller and the Buyer.
1.5. Exclusivity:
Conflicting, deviating, or supplementary terms of the Buyer are expressly rejected and shall not form part of the contract unless the Seller has explicitly agreed to their validity in writing. Performance of the contract by the Seller does not imply consent to the Buyer’s terms.
2. ACCOUNT REGISTRATION, VERIFICATION, AND SECURITY
2.1. B2B Restriction:
Offers are strictly limited to verified business entities. The Seller reserves the right to request proof of business registration (KvK extract, Trade License) and a valid VAT number at any time.
2.2. VIES Verification:
The Seller validates all EU VAT numbers via the VIES (VAT Information Exchange System). If a VAT number is invalid or inactive, the Seller reserves the right to treat the transaction as a B2C sale (applying Dutch VAT) or to cancel the order entirely.
2.3. Account Security:
The Buyer is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials. Any order placed via the Buyer’s account is deemed to be authorized by the Buyer. The Buyer is liable for all costs incurred through unauthorized use of their account.
3. OFFER, CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT, AND CORRECTION OF ERRORS
3.1. Invitation to Treat:
The presentation of products on the website constitutes a non-binding invitation to treat, not a binding legal offer.

By clicking the “Order” / “Buy Now” button, the Buyer submits a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract.
