These Terms and Conditions are important to both you and us as they have been drafted to create a legally binding agreement between us, protecting your rights as a consumer and our rights as a business. You acknowledge that by placing an order you unconditionally accept these Terms and Conditions and declare that you have read them.

By placing an order on this website, you guarantee that you are at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into binding agreements.

5. FORMATION OF THE CONTRACT

The information set out in these Terms and Conditions and the details on this website do not constitute an offer to sell but rather an invitation to enter into a contract. No contract will exist between you and us regarding the products until we have accepted your order. If your order is not accepted and the amount has already been debited from your account, you will receive a full refund.

To place an order, you will be asked to follow the online checkout process to submit the order. You will then receive an email from us confirming that we have received your order (the “Order Confirmation”). Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes your offer to purchase one or more products from us. All orders are subject to our acceptance, and we will confirm this acceptance by sending you an email confirming dispatch of the product(s) (the “Dispatch Confirmation”). The contract for the purchase of the product will only be formed between you and us once we have sent you the Dispatch Confirmation.

The Contract will only relate to the products whose dispatch we have confirmed to you in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply you with any other products that may be included in your order until the dispatch of those products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.

6. AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS

All product orders are subject to availability. In this regard, in the event of delivery difficulties or out-of-stock conditions for the products ordered, we reserve the right to provide you with information on replacement products of equal or superior quality and value, which you may order. If you do not wish to order these replacement products, we will refund all amounts you may have paid.

7. REFUSAL OF ORDER

We reserve the right to withdraw any product from this website at any time and/or to replace or amend any material or content contained on this website. Although we will always make every effort to process all orders, there may be exceptional circumstances in which we may refuse to process an order after we have sent an Order Confirmation. We reserve the right to do so at any time and at our sole discretion.

We will not be liable to you or any third party for our decision to withdraw any product from our site, whether sold or not, to replace or modify any material or content on this site, or to refuse to process or accept an order after we have sent the relevant Order Confirmation.

8. DELIVERY

Subject to the provisions of Article 6 above, and except in exceptional circumstances, we will endeavour to process your order for the product(s) indicated in the Dispatch Confirmation before the delivery date set out in the document or, if no indicative date is mentioned, within 15 days from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation.

Reasons for a delay may include:

  • product customization
  • specialized articles
  • unforeseen circumstances
  • the place of delivery

Delivery times may be longer during collection releases. Please note that we do not deliver on Saturdays or Sundays.

For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “delivery” shall be deemed to have been made or the order to have been delivered upon receipt of the order at the agreed delivery address.

9. INABILITY TO DELIVER

If we are unable to deliver the products to you after two attempts, we will endeavor to find a safe and secure place to leave your parcel. We will notify you in writing of the location of your parcel and the arrangements for redelivery. If you are not present at the delivery location at the agreed time, please contact us to arrange a new delivery date that is mutually convenient for us.

We will be entitled to understand that you wish to cancel the Contract and it may be considered terminated upon expiry of a period of 15 days from the date on which your order is ready for delivery, during which period the order has not been delivered for reasons not attributable to us. In the event that the Contract is considered terminated, we will refund the price paid for the products as soon as possible and, in any event, within 30 days from the date on which we consider the Contract to be terminated. In such situations, we will be entitled to charge you the delivery costs as well as any costs incurred for the termination of the Contract.

10. RISK AND TITLE

You will assume the risks inherent in the products from the date of delivery.
Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we have received full payment of all amounts due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges, or upon delivery (as defined in Section 8 above), whichever is later.

11. PRICE AND PAYMENT

The prices of the Products will be those stated at any time on our site, except in cases of obvious errors. Although we make every effort to ensure that all prices stated on our site are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of the Products that you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming the order at the correct price or canceling it. If we are unable to contact you, the order will be treated as cancelled and if you have already paid for the Products, you will receive a full refund.

We are under no obligation to sell the Products to you at an incorrect (lower) price (including after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation) if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been identified by you as such.
The prices displayed on our website include VAT but do not include delivery charges. These will be added to the total amount.

Prices are subject to change at any time. However (except as otherwise provided above), such potential changes will not affect orders for which an Order Confirmation has been sent.

You can pay by Visa, Ideal, Mister Cash, Mastercard, Amex, Bancontact and Bank Transfer.
Your card details will be encrypted to limit any risk of unauthorized access. Once we receive your order, we will request pre-authorization of your card to ensure you have sufficient funds to complete the transaction. Payment will be debited from your card when your order is shipped.

By clicking on “Finalize order”, you confirm that the bank card used belongs to you.

Bank cards are subject to validation checks and authorization by your Card issuer. In the absence of the required authorization, we will not be liable for any delays or non-delivery of the order and will not be able to form any Contract with you.

In accordance with applicable rules and regulations, all purchases made through the website are subject to Value Added Tax (VAT).
As such and in accordance with Chapter I of Title V of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax, the place of delivery is assumed to be that of the Member State of the address to which the items are to be delivered, and the applicable VAT will be that in force in each Member State in which the items are to be delivered in accordance with the orders placed.

In accordance with the rules and regulations applicable in each country, the reverse charge mechanism provided for in Article 194 of Directive 2006/112 may apply to goods supplied in certain Member States of the European Union if the customer is or must be subject to VAT. If this is the case, we will not charge any VAT, subject to confirmation by the recipient that the VAT on the goods supplied will be accounted for by the customer according to the reverse charge mechanism.
