7.2. Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer in the sense of the Consumer Rights Directive, you will benefit from a right of withdrawal, as follows. You will have the right to withdraw from your purchase, without giving any reason, within fourteen days following the day you, or a third party appointed by you (other than the carrier), have physically taken possession of the Product. If your purchase involves more than one Product ordered in a single order and if these Products are shipped separately, the fourteen-day term starts on the day you, or a third party appointed by you (other than the carrier), have physically taken possession of the last Product. The right of withdrawal does not apply to Products that have been personalized at your request or to Products with a limited shelf life. To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must notify the Seller's after-sales service department by email of your decision to withdraw from the purchase by means of an unequivocal written statement, within the fourteen day term as defined above.
If you exercise your right to withdraw from the purchase, the Seller will reimburse all payments received from you, including shipping costs. It being understood that shipping costs are refunded only if you withdraw your order in full, i.e. without keeping one or more of the Products that are part of the package ordered. If you have chosen a shipping method other than the least expensive method of standard shipping offered, the additional costs arising from your choice will not be reimbursed. The reimbursement will be made shortly upon receipt of the returned Product(s), using the same method of payment as the method the Buyer used for the original transaction. You must return or give back the Product(s) to the Seller's after-sales service department using the address mentioned above, without undue delay and, in any case, within fourteen days following the notification of your decision to withdraw. The Products must be returned intact, complete and in their original packaging. In order to be able to process your return shipments as efficiently as possible, you are asked to include with the returned Products a printed copy of the return form downloaded from the webshop. You may only handle the Product to the extent necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and correct functioning of this Product. If you handle the Product in any different way and the Product's value is reduced as a result, you will be held liable.
7.3. Guarantee - Conformity
If you are a consumer in the sense of the European Directive 1999/44/EC on the sale of consumer goods and associated guarantees (the "Consumer Goods Guarantees Directive"), you will benefit from a legal product guarantee. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the Products sold by the Seller do not benefit from an additional guarantee offered by the Seller nor by the manufacturer.
If you are not a consumer in the sense of the Consumer Goods Guarantees Directive, the Seller guarantees that the Product delivered will be in conformity with the description of the Products ordered. The Seller, however, will not be held liable for any hidden default, to the extent permitted under Belgian law. You are obliged to verify the Products as to their conformity immediately upon delivery. Every complaint must be communicated to the Seller in writing (this is by email confirmed by registered mail, by fax or by registered mail) as soon as possible, and in any event within eight (8) days (Belgium) – fifteen (15) days (abroad) following delivery, failing to which the complaint shall be null and void. If you don’t communicate your complaint within the above term to the Seller or you have used or commercialized the concerned Product – even in case of a timely complaint – , you will be considered to have unconditional and irrefutable accepted the delivered Product. If a complaint is considered to be justified by the Seller, then the Seller shall, without being held to any additional damages, either repair the concerned Products or replace the concerned Products. In order to be reimbursed for the return costs, you must provide proof of these costs to the Seller. The Seller may also choose to have the Products collected from you at the Seller's expense. If you return Products to the Seller for a replacement, you are requested to include with the returned Products a completed and printed copy of the return form that will be sent to you by the Seller's after-sales service department. Unless expressly agreed in written otherwise, the Products sold by the Seller do not benefit from an additional guarantee offered by the Seller or the manufacturer.
8. Liability
The Seller will not be liable if the Seller's failure to fulfil its obligations is attributable either to the unforeseeable and unsurmountable action by a third party to the contract or to a case of force majeure (on the part of the Seller or its subcontractors), including the inability of the Seller's logistics partner to deliver the Products within the envisaged delivery times. Similarly, Seller will not be liable for any disadvantages or damages inherent to the use of the Internet network, such as loss of service, external intrusion or the presence of computer viruses. In the event the Seller would be held liable in pursuance of a failing imputable to him, this liability will be limited – within the maximal legal limits permitted by Belgian law - to direct damages with a maximum sum amounting to the whole of the sums received by the Seller for the Products you ordered. The Seller will not be liable for indirect or consequential damages; ‘indirect or consequential damages’ are read as: damages which are not the immediate and direct result of an imputable default of the Seller (e.g. purly financial damage, loss of profit, loss of customers). The Seller shall not be liable in case of wrong use of the Products.

These General Terms and Conditions, the use of the Webshop and/or the purchases made on it are subject to Belgian law, including European law (such as the Consumer Rights Directive and the Consumer Goods Guarantees Directive).

If that is the case, and to the extent that such rules do not violate European law, these rules will prevail, and you will be able to enjoy such more extensive rights. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Seller however does not give any guarantee of compliance with the local legislation applicable, when you access the Webshop from countries other than Belgium. The competent courts in the case of any dispute will be the Belgian courts, more in particular the courts of Kortrijk.
