2.De feiten
“The MWorks and Feedback stores take-over by BMI, upping the number of distributor owned retail stores to 12 plus the Rockpalace on-line business, puts us in a very uncomfortable situation. This is the cold hard truth why we will leave MWorks. Unfortunately we had no info in advance (..). If we had been informed early on we had let everybody know our position. (…) Since years the Nord business strategy is to stay clear from distribution companies with retail operations as long as this is possible. The present situation is not created by Nord wanting to work with a new partner. If that was the case we would discuss terms and a timetable for the transition due to long relationship between our companies. This is very different. I called you and [Q] with our firm decision to leave MWorks on Aug 15:th after roughly the 60 days were gone. We will ship you the pending August order in a week or so being the last Nord shipment to MWorks. By October 1:st our new partner AB Music will commence business.’
As from today, we change payment terms to prepayment. Goods on your September order will be sent as soon as we receive payment. Total amount for the September order is EUR 79 945.’
‘Payment terms: Prepayment before shipping or max 20 days of credit depending on your situation and the time we’ve been successfully working together.’

conditions of payment which were usual between parties’.Daarbij komt dat in de algemene voorwaarden van Clavia andere betalingsvoorwaarden staan dan tussen partijen waren overeengekomen, althans gebruikelijk waren, zodat ook op die grond niet aannemelijk is geworden dat M Works zich jegens Clavia voor wat betreft de betaling op de algemene voorwaarden van Clavia zou hebben beroepen.
