2. Unless specified explicitly and by written agreement between both parties, the relationship between ASTRA NAILS and her customers will be subjected to the present general terms and conditions, of which it is assumed that they are accepted by the customer, even in the hypothetic case that they are conflicting with the customer’s own general or specific terms and conditions. ASTRA NAILS’s acceptance of an order or delivery without objection to the general or specific terms and conditions of the customer does by no means indicate that ASTRA NAILS is subjected to the concerned general or specific terms and conditions of the customer. The fact that the customer did not receive the present general terms and conditions in his/her own mother tongue does not mean that the customer is not subjected to them. The company’s general terms and conditions, as well as the ASTRA NAILS site, were solely edited for and adapted to customers located in Belgium, although they can be consulted worldwide. Customers located outside Belgium should realize that certain parts of the general terms and conditions are not applicable to them, hence that they can’t invoke them. However, this does not alter the validity of the general terms and conditions.
