1.2 In addition to these general conditions, additional conditions may, if expressly indicated, apply to a particular type of product or transaction. Should differences exist between the additional conditions and the general conditions, the provisions of the additional conditions shall in principle prevail over the general conditions, unless otherwise stated.

1.4 By using the Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC website(s) and/or placing an order, the buyer accepts these general conditions. Also by accepting an order or other form of agreement, the general terms and conditions of Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC are automatically accepted.

1.5 General conditions used by the buyer are not applicable unless expressly agreed to in writing by Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC. Once the buyer has entered into a contract with Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC on the basis of these general conditions, it is assumed that these general conditions also tacitly apply to any subsequent orders or agreements to be entered into, which are transmitted orally, in writing, by fax or electronically.

1.6 ‘Buyer’ means: any natural person or legal entity, or its legal successor(s), that has or will have a contractual relationship with Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC of whatever nature.

1.7 Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC reserves the right to amend or supplement the general terms and conditions from time to time.

Article 2. Quotation, offer and formation of the agreement

2.1 Offers or quotations should be regarded as an invitation to customers to make a purchase. Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC is in no way bound by this, unless this has been recorded unambiguously in writing. If the buyer wishes to make use of the invitation to make a purchase, this shall only lead to the formation of an agreement if the other provisions of this article have been fulfilled.

2.2 Offers and different rates are valid while stocks last.

2.3 A named offer has a validity period of 30 days, unless a different period is stated in the offer.

2.4 A purchase by the buyer as mentioned in article 2.1 is deemed to have been made in one of the following circumstances:

  1. the potential buyer has entered data on the appropriate entry screen of the internet site and the completed order form has been sent electronically to Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC and has been received by Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC.
  2. the potential buyer has expressly stated by telephone or e-mail that he wishes to purchase a certain product.
  3. the potential buyer has expressly indicated during his visit to Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC that he wishes to purchase a particular product.
  4. Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC has issued a personalized quotation / offer which has been confirmed or signed by the buyer and returned to Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC.

2.5 An agreement is concluded at the moment that Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC has begun executing the order, or if this has not yet started, an order confirmation has been handed over to the buyer or, in the event the offer is made via the internet site, has been sent by email to the email address provided by the buyer. Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC has the right, without giving reasons, to revoke an agreement or to enter into an agreement exclusively on the condition that shipment takes place after advance payment. In the event that this payment condition is not clearly stated to the buyer in writing or verbally at the time of entering into the purchase, Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC shall notify the buyer within ten days of receiving the order.

2.6 The buyer and Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC expressly agree that by using electronic forms of communication a valid agreement is concluded as soon as the conditions in Clauses 2.4 and 2.5 have been satisfied. In particular, even the absence of an ordinary signature does not detract from the binding force of the offer and its acceptance. Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC’s electronic files, to the extent permitted by law, hereby serve as a presumption of proof.

2.7 Information, images, verbal communications, statements concerning functionalities, prices, weights, dimensions, colors, etc. relating to all products and offers that are provided by telephone, email or the Internet are given or made as accurately as possible. However, Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC does not guarantee that all offers and products are fully consistent with the information provided. Deviations cannot in principle be a reason for compensation and/or dissolution.

Article 3. Prices

3.1 All prices on Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC’s internet site  are expressed in euros or dirham or US dollar, in accordance with the relevant legal regulations, and are exclusive of VAT (unless otherwise stated) and exclusive of shipping costs, any cash on delivery costs and any disposal contribution and/or levies.

3.2 The buyer owes the price Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC communicated to the buyer in its order confirmation in accordance with Article 2.5 of the General Terms and Conditions. Obvious errors in the quotation, such as obvious inaccuracies, can also be corrected by Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC after the conclusion of the agreement.

3.3 If the prices for the products and services offered increase in the period between the order and its execution, the buyer may cancel the order or terminate the agreement within ten days of notification of the price increase by Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC.

With regard to certain payment methods, further conditions apply with regard to the delivery method and the associated costs. This will be clearly communicated to the customer.

Article 4. Rental and testing

4.1 In case the products are rented for a predetermined period, Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC is responsible for delivering the products on time and the hirer is responsible for returning the products within 5 days after the rental term. The price for the rental is agreed upon in advance and the costs are paid by the lessee to Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC in advance. Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC is authorized not to deliver products when payment has not been made by the renter and received by Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC. The lessee is responsible for returning the products on time. Damaged and unreturned products may be charged by Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC to the hirer at the new value of the products. The hirer is therefore obliged to return the hired products in good condition. The lessee is not authorized to rent the rented products to third parties. When entering into an agreed rental period, the lessee agrees to the general terms and conditions of Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC.

4.2 Testing of products or systems

Only in case a testing period has been specifically and expressively agreed upon, the products are entered into for a predetermined test period. This means that Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC is responsible for delivering the products on time and the other party is responsible for returning the products within 5 days after the test period has expired. Damaged and unreturned products may be charged by Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC to the other party at the new value of the products. The other party is therefore obliged to return the products in good condition. When entering into an agreed test period, the other party agrees to the general terms and conditions of Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC.

Article 5. Payment

5.1 The right of ownership of the products ordered rests with Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC until full payment has been made and received by Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC, including the reimbursement of all costs and interest, also of earlier and later deliveries and services rendered, as well as claims for damages for failure to perform.

prepayment; post-payment by direct debit

  1. post-payment by invoice but only if agreed in advance and in writing;
  2. cash payment if the order is picked up/delivered.

5.3 In the event of late or non-timely payment by the buyer, interest of 2.5% per month will be due on the outstanding amount from the day on which payment should have been made at the latest until the day of payment in full, whereby a started month will be counted as a full month.

5.4 In the event that Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC has agreed to a term of payment, the mere expiry of this term without Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC having received payment shall result in the buyer being in default. Payment terms can only be agreed in writing under conditions to be set and agreed at that time.

5.5 In the event of late payment Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC is authorized to terminate the agreement with immediate effect or to suspend (further) delivery until such time as the buyer has fulfilled its payment obligations in full, including payment of any interest and costs due.

The deadline for delivery is 30 days after receipt of the order. For orders delivered on prepayment, the latest delivery period is 30 days after receipt of payment, unless otherwise agreed upon.

Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC can give further information about delivery times on the internet site or make this known in writing in any other way. Such information is only of an indicative nature.

6.4 If a customer orders a product that is temporarily out of stock, it will be indicated when the product will be available again. It is possible that products, which are indicated on one of Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC’s internet sites as being available and/or in stock, are nevertheless not available and/or in stock. No rights can be derived from this. Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC aims to notify the buyer of delays in the delivery period by telephone or e-mail within one working day.

6.5 Deliveries shall take place at the delivery address provided by the customer during the formation of the agreement.

Article 8. Provision of data by customers

8.1 Bee-Line Paging Electronics LLC is entitled not to execute an agreement, not to continue it or not (or no longer) to execute it on the same conditions if it transpires that data provided by the buyer that are relevant for the execution of the agreement are incorrect and/or incomplete.

Article 9. Defects, complaint periods

9.1 The buyer must examine the purchased goods (or have them examined) upon delivery – or later with a maximum period of three days after delivery – on penalty of the automatic lapse of his rights.
