Article 2 — Purpose and Scope
2.1 Purpose
The purpose of these GTCS is to define the rights and obligations of the parties in connection with the sale of Products by the Seller to the Customer.
2.2 Professional Customers
The Products are intended exclusively for professional customers. By placing an order, the Customer declares that they are acting within the scope of their professional activity and do not have the status of consumer within the meaning of the Belgian Code of Economic Law.
Consequently, the Customer does not benefit from the right of withdrawal provided for consumers in the context of distance selling.
2.3 Acceptance
Any order placed with the Seller implies unreserved acceptance of these GTCS. The Customer acknowledges having read them prior to placing the order.
Article 3 — Products
3.1 Product Description
The essential characteristics of the Products are described on the Website or in technical data sheets available upon request. Photographs and illustrations presented on the Website have no contractual value.
3.2 Temperature Sensors
The Sensors marketed are Efento brand. They have the following characteristics:
- Certification compliant with European standard EN 12830;
- Wireless communication via IoT cellular networks (NB-IoT, LTE-M);
- Compatibility with the Enthalpic Monitoring Services;
- Battery powered with long-lasting autonomy;
- Operating range suitable for refrigeration and freezing environments.
Detailed technical specifications (accuracy, temperature range, battery life, etc.) are available in the Efento manufacturer documentation, accessible upon request or on the manufacturer's website.
3.3 IoT SIM Cards
The IoT SIM Cards are pre-configured to work with the Sensors. They enable the transmission of telemetry data to the Enthalpic Monitoring Services platform via available cellular networks.
The Customer is informed that:

For positive cold rooms (refrigeration temperature), this certification is not legally required but constitutes a guarantee of quality and measurement accuracy.

Article 14 — Intellectual Property
The sale of Products does not entail any transfer of intellectual property rights over the software, firmware, trademarks, patents, or other intangible elements associated with the Products, which remain the exclusive property of the manufacturer or their respective holders.
