Article 2 – Object and scope of application

2.1.

The General Conditions define the rights and obligations of the parties within the context of the Products at the Website.

2.2.

The General Conditions are concluded between the Seller and its Customers. In the event that the General Conditions are different in so much as it relates to the quality of the Customer, such a difference would be expressly stated.

2.3.

The Parties agree that their relations shall be exclusively governed by the General Conditions, to the exclusion of all conditions previously available at the Website. The Seller rejects all other provisions and conditions (including those of the Customer), only with the exception of terms and conditions that the Seller expressly signs as agreed.

2.4.

Any Order of a Product proposed at the Website (hereinafter the “Order”), implies the prior consultation and express agreement to the present General Conditions by the Customer. However, this agreement is not conditioned by a handwritten signature from the Customer. Pursuant to the provisions of the 9 July 2001 Act fixing certain rules concerning the legal frame for electronic signatures and certification services, it is hereby reminded that the Order form validation, according to the provisions of Article 5 of the General Conditions, constitutes an electronic signature which has, between the Parties, the same value as a handwritten signature and constitutes the proof of the entire Order and of the payability of the amounts due for this Order.

2.5.

By ordering a Product through the Website, the Customer represents to possess full legal capacity. Any person, who is incompetent in the sense of Articles 1123 and following of the Belgian Civil Code, may not, under any circumstances, buy at the Website, or must do it through the intermediary and under the responsibility of his legal representative, identified in the way described in Article 2 of the present General Conditions.

Article 3 – Registration

3.1.

The Customer can create an account on the Website by following the registration procedure described at the Website. However, such registration is not required with regard to the purchase of Products through the Website. This registration procedure implies the obligation for the Customer to identify himself by giving a username (his e-mail address) and a password.
The username and passwords are personal and confidential. The Seller declines any liability in case of abusive use of a Customer’s username or password.

3.2.

The Seller reserves the right to exclude, at any time, a Customer, for instance in case of frequent, abnormal and/or abusive returns. The Customer shall be informed of his exclusion by an e-mail sent to the address indicated at the time of his registration.

Article 4 – Products description and availability

4.1.

The Products proposed for trade are those figuring at the Website with a description of their essential characteristics, at the time and day of the Website consultation by the Customer. The Seller implements all reasonable means to display at the Website the Products availability in real time, but shall in no circumstances be liable if a Product were to be unavailable to honour the Customer’s Order. In case of the unavailability of one of the ordered Products, the Customers shall be informed and shall have the choice to either modify his Order or cancel it. In this case, he shall be reimbursed of the amount of his Order if payment was already made.

4.2.

Offers of the Seller hold no obligations or commitments on the part of the Seller and can be withdrawn by the Seller at any time.

4.3.

The Seller takes great effort to ensure that Product information such as specifications and images on the Website are as accurate as possible. However, this information is to be used as references only. The photos, legends and other descriptive elements illustrating the Products are merely for informative purposes.
The Seller takes no responsibility for any misrepresentation due to errors or omissions however communicated. In fulfilling any Order, the Seller holds the right to have minor deviations as related to the descriptions found on the Website regarding the characteristics of the material, the colour, weight, measurements, manufacturing or similar properties as far as they reasonably match the expectations of the Customer.

4.4.

All Products offered by the Seller legally conform to Belgian law. Foreign Customers should always consult the laws in their own country if they doubt the legality of their purchase in their own country.

4.5.

The Seller cannot under any circumstances be held liable if the Products offered are used in an incorrect, irresponsible or illegal manner by the Customer, nor for material or physical damage to third parties caused by incorrect, irresponsible or illegal use of the articles on this Website.

4.6.

The Seller reserves the right to make changes or additions to the Products following new technical development, economic conditions, non – availability in the market or if the Seller wants to change the composition, structure or construction of the Products.

Article 5 – Purchase Price and Preparation and Delivery Costs

5.1. Product Purchase Price

The prices of Products are those which apply at the time of Customer’s Order. Shipping or handling costs, transport insurance, duty and other taxes, levies or charges of any authorities, unless otherwise specified, or otherwise required by applicable law will be charged in addition to the applicable Product price and will be indicated to the Customer prior to placing the Order on the Website and will also be set out in the invoice sent to the Customer by e-mail.
The Customer has to pay shipping and handling, which may depend on Order value and the delivery location, as well as the chosen delivery mode.
The prices as given are the gross prices and include the statutory incidental taxes, in particular Value Added Tax.
The Customer can consult the amount of the costs for shipping and handling at the Website by clicking on the “cart”, where the total amount corresponding to the Products purchase price and to the costs is displayed.
The Seller reserves the right to modify its prices at any time, but Products shall be invoiced on the basis of the purchase price in force at the time of the order validation, depending on availability.

5.2. Customs Duties

In the event any customs duties are applicable, the Customer shall be responsible for paying such customs duties as well as for taking care of possibly related administrative paperwork. Such fees cannot be determined beforehand which means the Seller cannot provide the Customer with further information on the amount of such taxes and fees.

5.3 VAT

The Seller is obliged to charge VAT. The Customer – Consumer is always VAT liable. When invoicing to a Customer – Trader (with a VAT number), the Seller does not add VAT as at that moment VAT is due by the Customer – Trader in his state. For this reason, the Seller asks for the VAT identification number of the Customer – Trader, to confirm whether it is he who must charge the VAT or whether the Customer – Trader himself will account for the VAT. To make an intra-community supply without charging VAT, Seller ensures that the Customer – Trader to whom supplying the goods is a taxable person in another member state, and that the goods in question will leave Belgium to another member state. VAT-number shall also be in the invoice.

Article 6 – Order modalities

6.1.

To order, the Customer must fill in the order form available at the Website, where he shall indicate the details necessary to his identification, such as his surname, first name and delivery address. The Seller shall not be held liable for the communication of inaccurate details. After having filled in the order form, the Customer shall be invited to finalize the Order process, by clicking on “Proceed to payment”, by which the Customer declares fully accepting and without reserves the whole present General Conditions, validates definitively his Order and commits to pay the whole due amount, i.e. the Purchase Price plus the costs.

6.2.

Any agreement is dependent and conditional upon the Order Confirmation. The Seller shall confirm each Order by sending an e-mail to the Customer on the Address indicated by the Customer when he registered. This Order Confirmation shall mention among other things, the Order date, the Product(s) ordered, the Purchase Price with the costs, as well as the delivery address and specifications. The data recorded by the Seller, as well as the Order Confirmation, constitute the proof of the contractual relationship between the Parties.

6.3.

The Seller reserves the right to refuse or cancel any Order or delivery in case of (i) an existing dispute with the Customer, (ii) partial or total non-payment of a previous Order or (iii) credit card payment authorization refused by the banking institutions. In this case, the Seller’s liability shall not, under any circumstances, be engaged.

6.4.

After having ordered, the Customer may, at any time, as long as the preparation for delivery of the ordered Product(s) has not started, cancel his Order, by accessing the menu “my Orders” and by clicking on “Cancel”. The Order shall then be immediately cancelled. The payment request shall be cancelled if the payment has not been made yet, or the Customer shall be reimbursed of the whole purchase price and the costs if the payment has already been made. After delivery of the Product(s), the Customer shall not be entitled to cancel his Order anymore, but shall be able to use his cancellation right, according to the conditions stipulated in Article 8 of the present General Conditions.

Article 7 – Modalities of payment – Retention of title

7.1.

Payment will be carried out according to the Customer’s choice of payment method, indicated on the Website (e.g. direct debit, credit card). In case the Customer chooses for a credit card, he needs to indicate the name appearing on his credit card, the card number, its expiry date and the control number. Some issuing banking institutions may request an additional signature, such as a digipass. The payment validity is confirmed or not after verification with the issuing banking institution. If the payment is confirmed, the withdrawal takes place, after the invoicing of the Order, according to the methods agreed with the card issuing bank.
All online payments are processed for the Seller by external professional and specialized partners who control a payment infrastructure. The Seller has no access to the confidential financial information of the Customer. The online payments are executed through safety protocols. All online payments are subjected to the general terms and conditions of the external partner of the payment infrastructure who is the sole responsible for the correct processing of all online payments.

7.2.

Title to the Product(s) shall remain with the Seller until full payment of the purchase price and costs indicated at the time of the Order.
The Customer shall not be entitled to resell the Products delivered by the Seller which are under retention of title, except with prior written consent of the Seller. The Customer hereby assigns to the Seller any receivables arising from any authorized resale in an amount not exceeding the purchase price (including the costs) payable for the Product by the Customer to the Seller. The Seller hereby authorizes the Customer to collect any receivables so assigned to him in the ordinary course of its business, but are entitled to revoke such authorization at any time in the event of a payment default by the Customer.

Article 8 – Delivery/Shipment

8.1.
