  1. These general terms and conditions apply to every offer made by the seller and to every distance contract concluded between the seller and the buyer.
  2. All offers are without obligation.

The transfer of ownership of the goods takes place only after full payment of the agreed price by the buyer. As long as the price has not been paid in full, the purchaser is not entitled to dispose of the goods, in particular he cannot pledge them or sell them to a third party or make them available to a third party in any form and under any title. Nor can the purchaser convert, dispose of, transfer and/or encumber the goods.

4. Delivery

  1. On the basis of acceptance of the seller’s quotation, the buyer agrees that the transport of the goods will be carried out by a carrier approved by the seller.
  2. The method of delivery is only provided by way of information and is not binding on the seller.
  3. The indicated delivery times are informative. The seller is not liable for delays in transport.
  4. Exceeding the delivery time does not entitle the seller to cancel the order, to refuse receipt or payment of the goods or to any compensation. In the event of force majeure such as natural disasters, war, government measures, scarcity of materials, stagnation, traffic jams, strikes or lockouts, we have the choice to suspend the execution of the agreement or to cancel or nullify the agreement insofar as it has not been executed. Liability for consequential damages, in whatever form, is expressly excluded.
  5. The expected delivery date, transport conditions, number of offers at delivery address, what to do in case of ‘undeliverable’ or non-acceptance by the buyer of the ordered products is, according to the seller, communicated to the buyer after payment has been received. Our ‘delivery terms and conditions for parcel and pallet shipments’ apply.
  6. The goods are always transported at the buyer’s risk and expense.
  7. The transfer of risk for damage, destruction and disappearance with regard to the goods, will take place at the time of shipment and in case the buyer agrees with the shipping offer and therefore agrees to ship the goods.

  4. All goods for a repair or warranty treatment must be sent to the Seller at no cost and risk to the Buyer.
  5. The warranty period is shortened when machines or goods are used in shifts.

  11. Rust is excluded from the warranty for machines made of untreated bright steel.
  12. The buyer does not have the right to refuse payment on the grounds that the seller has not, not yet or not fully complied with its warranty provisions.

Conditions & use frequency converter

These conditions are a supplement to the General Terms and Conditions of Delivery and apply to a frequency converter supplied by the buyer. The frequency converter is a loose component that cannot be seen as part of the Batko belt sander with the additional conditions described here.

  1. The frequency converter is supplied separately and is not a part of the Batko belt sander. Buyer must determine the correct position of the Frequency converter in the area where the belt sander will be installed before connecting the drive. Buyer only supplies the frequency converter and the required connection material is not supplied. Which connection materials are needed, such as cables, must be determined by a qualified electrician.
  2. If the buyer receives an installation advice from the frequency converter, this advice is not binding and the installation remains the buyer’s responsibility. The installation must be carried out by a qualified electrical installer on behalf of the buyer.
  3. Damage to the Batko belt sander motor, the electrical installation or other (consequential) damage caused by installation and use of the frequency converter in any way whatsoever is not covered by the warranty. The same applies to all damage and consequential loss resulting from failure to comply with these terms and conditions and/or inadequate maintenance.
  4. Frequency converters are sensitive to dust and metal abrasion. Metal grinding and/or dust causes internal short circuits in the electronics. To prevent this, take these measures.
    1. Carefully blow out the regulator regularly (preferably after each use) or vacuum it empty.
    2. Suction of air for cooling takes place at the lower grille. The other grilles are for the extraction of air for cooling. Position the converter in such a way that this grille does not pick up dust and/or metal grit and does not cover the grilles.
    3. Keep the working environment clean, dry and dust-free.
  5. The frequency converter is adjusted to the speed of the belt sander motor. The frequency converter is programmable. This means that the settings can be changed. If the purchaser wishes to change the setting, this can only be done after consulting the seller. All warranty expires on the drive as well as on the belt sander and we are not liable for any damage or consequential loss if the buyer changes settings on the frequency converter without consulting Seller.
  6. We give no warranty on the frequency converter if the above measures are not met.
