ARTICLE 1 – GENERAL PROVISIONS
The company Nespresso Belgique SA (referred to hereafter as "Nespresso") has developed the B2B division through the Nespresso Professional product range, consisting of capsules on the one hand, and dedicated coffee machines on the other hand, possibly associated, as appropriate, with the relevant equipment, referred to hereafter as “Capsules”, and “Machines”). These Capsules are only sold to professional clients based on orders placed, and are specifically adapted to Machines that are available in various models, in accordance with the requirements of clients of this kind.
In the context of its initiative which is intended to facilitate accessibility to Nespresso Professional solutions with its clients, Nespresso proposes the establishment of a “Subscription” service with a frequency specified between the client and Nespresso (referred to hereafter as “the Subscription”).
The subscription to this agreement is formalised by the signature of a “Subscription” contract of 1, 3, or 5 years (5 years contract only for the Momento White, & Aguila machines) (referred to hereafter as the “Subscription Contract”), which triggers acceptance of the content of the After Sales Service packs (referred to hereafter as “Service Package”), of the offer of the capsule tariff , of the Nespresso General Conditions of Sale (hereafter referred to as the “General Conditions of Sale” / GCS), also available from the link https://www.Nespresso.com/pro/be/en/legal-information, and of these present special conditions of the Nespresso Professional “Subscription” service; as well as signature of a recurrent coffee order form.
In the event of any discrepancy between the special conditions for the Nespresso Professional Subscription service, and the GCS, the provisions of the present special conditions of sale shall prevail.
The Subscription contract incorporates the making available of Nespresso Professional Machines that are the object of the Subscription contract, After Sales Service, and a volume commitment for monthly orders of Capsules determined per Machine type, which will be delivered on a recurrent basis, in accordance with the frequency defined between the client and Nespresso throughout the duration of the Contract (referred to hereafter as “the Recurrent Order”).
It is specified that the Recurrent Order, as defined under these present conditions in the context of the Subscription contract, is different from the recurrent orders service, as defined at Article C- 1.1 of the GCS. The Recurrent Order of the Subscription contract is thus not subject to the conditions of the recurrent orders service.
The Subscription Contract may incorporate, if the client subscribes to it, a volume undertaking in respect of monthly accessories specified at the beginning of the Contract, and which will be delivered with the Recurrent order for Capsules, in accordance with the frequency specified between the client, and Nespresso, throughout the duration of the Contract.
The Subscription service is available in Belgium, and in Luxembourg.
ARTICLE 2 – OBJECT
The object of the present conditions is to determine the conditions and arrangements for the establishment of a “Subscription” contract, selected by the client, whereby Nespresso makes available to the client one or more machines in the Nespresso Professional range, as defined in the Contract, in consideration for a monthly order undertaking for Capsules, for which the minimum threshold is predetermined in accordance with the Machine(s) made available via the Recurrent Order in the Contract.

The client and Nespresso jointly specify that the delivery of the Recurrent Order shall take place at the frequency of delivery defined in the Contract.
It is specified that the client can order additional Capsules, in addition to those that are the object of the Recurrent Order, but these Capsules will be subject to the public tariffs in force.

These modifications need to be requested minimum 2 opening days before the normal delivery date of the initial standing order.
At the time of their first order, the client’s choice concerning the types of Capsules shall be sent to Nespresso and recorded, so that the client receives recurrent deliveries of the same Capsules in accordance with the frequency defined in the Contract between the client and Nespresso.
For the composition of their Recurrent Order for Capsules, the client shall be able to choose from all the Capsules in the Nespresso Professional range that are available, and sold at the site www.Nespresso.com/pro/be/en.
The undertaking in respect of monthly order volume of Capsules is a condition of the validity of the Subscription. In the case of non-adherence to this undertaking, Nespresso may cancel the Contract due to the client’s fault, without prejudice to any claim for damages.
3.3 Provisions relating to the Recurrent Order for Accessories
In the case where the client wishes to add Accessories to their Recurrent Order, these Accessories will be delivered with the same frequency as that which is defined in the Contract.

ARTICLE 11 – RESPONSIBILITY
Each of the parties shall, under its own individual responsibility, ensure that it respects the laws and regulations established by the competent authorities, such that the other party cannot under any circumstances be held liable.
In the case of a failing on the part of one of the parties in any of its obligations, the injured party shall be entitled to obtain reparation of any prejudice or damage suffered, regardless of legal basis, under the conditions of ordinary law.
The Machine(s) is/are placed under the care of the client. The client shall apply the same level of care of the Machine(s) entrusted to it by Nespresso as it would in the care of items of its own. Throughout the duration of the Contract, the client undertakes to keep the Machine(s) made available to it in a very good state of cleanliness and operational condition, it being specified that the Machine(s) must be used in accordance with their user manual.
In the event of any problem, the client undertakes to notify their Nespresso special point of contact without delay. In general terms, the client undertakes to use the Machine(s) in such a way as to ensure the preservation of the Nespresso brand image.
ARTICLE 12 – INSURANCE
The client declares that they have taken out a civil liability insurance contract with reputable and solvent insurance companies, covering physical and material damage, and/or moral prejudice caused to its agents, to the products entrusted to it, as well as to third parties, including in this the clients and employees of the client.
In consequence, the Machine(s) and any accessories made available to the client by Nespresso are insured on the same basis as the other items of property present at the client point of sale, against theft, fire, water damage, and electrical damage, for a minimum value based upon the Subscription tariff in force on the date of the equipment and items being made available.
The client shall substantiate to Nespresso that this insurance is in place whenever requested, at the risk of cancellation of the Contract due to the client’s fault.
For its part, Nespresso declares that it has taken out all relevant insurance cover with reputable and solvent insurance companies in respect of its own civil liability arising from its products, such that the client’s liability cannot be invoked.
ARTICLE 13 – CONFIDENTIALITY
For the duration of the Contract and for one (1) year after its expiry, or cancellation, for any reason whatsoever, the parties shall refrain from using, transferring, or disclosing, either directly or indirectly, any business or trade secret, and, more generally, any information to which they may have been given access, that may have been revealed to them, or which may have become known to them through the Contract.
The parties undertake, for their own part, and on behalf of their staff, to adopt all the necessary measures to keep this information confidential.
ARTICLE 14 – FORCE MAJEURE
None of the parties may be held responsible for delays or failings in the execution of their obligations if these delays or failings are caused by an instance of force majeure. In the case of force majeure, each party must notify the other by any written means that they have become aware of the occurrence of such an event and, at the latest, within 7 (seven) days from the onset of the event in question, at the same time substantiating the unforeseen and insurmountable nature of the event, which, in its opinion, would place it in a position of being unable to undertake or pursue the execution of its obligations.
In the event of an instance of force majeure, each party must employ its best efforts to fulfil as far as possible its obligations towards the other party.
Furthermore, where non-execution, or improper performance of one or more obligations by a party occurs due to an instance of force majeure, is liable to render impossible the continuation of all or part of the Contract, with a significant impact on the obligations of the parties, the parties shall meet as soon as possible in order to consider the consequences of the situation, and to seek an acceptable situation whereby the fulfilment of the Contract may be achieved.
If no agreement is reached following this meeting, and if the occurrence of the instance of force majeure renders the execution of the Contract impossible either in part, or in its entirety, with a significant impact on the obligations of the parties, for more than one (1) month, the Contract may, at the discretion of one of the parties, be automatically cancelled early, by registered letter with confirmation of receipt sent to the other party, without the party being entitled make any claim for indemnity in this respect.
ARTICLE 15 –NON-TRANSFERABILITY
The Contract is concluded intuitu personae. It may not be assigned, or transferred, in full, or in part, by the client, without the prior written consent of Nespresso.
ARTICLE 16 – INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
In default of prior, written authorisation by Nespresso, the client shall refrain from using the Nespresso brand, and/or logo. The Contract does not entail implicit authorisation to use these elements owned by Nespresso.
ARTICLE 17 – GENERAL PROVISIONS
The parties to these presents are legally independent and the Contract cannot be construed as creating a joint company between the two parties.
The fact of one of the parties opting not to invoke any of the stipulations of these present special conditions or not to seek redress for their breach, does not entail the renunciation of the benefit of these clauses.
In the case of any of the clauses of the Contract being void, the parties shall, by common agreement, replace the invalid clause with a clause intended to have an economic and legal effect equivalent to the original clause.
