The Client and the Seller expressly agree that a valid contract can be concluded by using electronic forms of communication. In particular, the absence of an ordinary signature does not detract from the binding force of the offer and its acceptance. The electronic files of the Seller will serve as a presumption of evidence, to the extent permitted by law.

All prices are expressed in Euro and include VAT. Delivery costs are clearly communicated to the Customer. The product must be paid for in full at the time the order is placed. Under no circumstances shall the Vendor be obliged to deliver the goods before having received full payment. If, during the payment process, the Customer is asked for his payment card details, he must have full authorisation to use this card or account.

A contract shall be concluded and the Seller shall be legally bound to deliver the product to the Customer when the Seller has accepted his order. Acceptance shall take place when the Vendor, in an email sent to the Customer, expressly accepts his order, in the form of a "Confirmation of Order" document confirming acceptance of the order. This Order Confirmation is to be considered effective from the moment it is sent by the Vendor.

The Customer accepts the fact that invoices are received electronically only, without prejudice to the right to request a paper copy no later than five (5) days after receipt of the electronic invoice.

Until the order has been accepted, the Vendor reserves the right to refuse to process the order and the Customer retains the right to cancel his order. If the Customer or the Vendor have cancelled the order before it has been accepted, the Vendor shall refund, as soon as possible, any payment already made to the Vendor by the Customer or by his credit or debit card organisation for the product order.

If the Customer discovers after placing an order on the site that he has made an error, he should contact: [email protected] by e-mail.

The Vendor shall do his best to deliver the products within the deadline indicated by him at the time of the order. No exact date can be given when the Customer places his order or in the order confirmation.

In the event that the estimated delivery date cannot be met, the Seller shall notify the Customer to the best of its ability. The Seller shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be liable for any loss, liability, value, damage, expense or expense arising from late delivery.

Upon delivery of the product, the Customer may be asked to sign a receipt. The Customer agrees to check the products for any defects, shortcomings or visible damage before signing the receipt. It is the Customer's responsibility to retain proof of receipt of the product delivered in case of any future dispute.

The risk is transferred to the Customer from the moment of delivery or collection of the goods. From that moment on, the Customer shall bear the risk of loss, theft and partial or total destruction of the goods. Ownership is only transferred as of full payment of the price by the Customer.

The delivery periods stated on the website are indicative. A maximum delivery period of 90 days shall always apply. The delivery period commences on the day following that on which the Customer placed his order on the website.

If the scheduled delivery date is exceeded due to an error on the part of the Vendor, the Customer may cancel the order without charge and with a simple notification. This is only possible if the goods have not yet been dispatched. Within 30 days, the Customer will be reimbursed for the sums already paid.
