Article 1 - Scope
These General Terms & Conditions apply to every offer, every quotation and every agreement reached with regard to products and/or services offered by us.
These General Terms & Conditions apply to the exclusion of the Customer's general terms & conditions.
Article 2 - Quotations
Our quotations are purely indicative and without obligation and expire if they are not accepted by the Customer within 30 calendar days. Quotations only become legally valid in the capacity of an agreement once the quotation has been signed by the Customer and by us. We also reserve the right to refuse certain orders without giving any reason.
Article 3 - Price and payment
The price for our goods/services is mentioned on the quotation.
All our invoices are payable within 14 days of receipt, unless the quotation specifies a different due date. If we ask for an advance payment, we will only start our activities once we have received the advance payment.
For every delay in payment, the Customer will owe default interest of 1% per commenced month from the due date of the invoice and without prior notice of default, with each month that has been commenced being deemed to be a full month, whereby the foregoing is without prejudice to any compensation or costs. Likewise, a lump sum fee of 10% of the invoice amount with a minimum of 250 euros as compensation is payable by operation of the law and without prior notice of default; moreover, in addition to the principal sum, interest on arrears as well as the costs of collection, notices of demand and prosecution, as well as expenses due to loss of time and legal or legal costs, are also payable. This damage clause does not detract from the obligation to pay the stipulated amount of interest on arrears.
We must be notified of disputes by registered letter within five working days of the invoice, otherwise they will be declared inadmissible.

Our agreements can be entered into as described in our quotations. The agreement can at all times be cancelled unilaterally and without judicial intervention by us if the Customer is in bankruptcy or composition proceedings, or if the customer has not paid its invoices.

Article 2 Applicability & Conditions
Our general terms & conditions apply to every quotation from us as a Web retailer to you as a Consumer (any natural person who, for non-professional purposes only, obtains or uses products or services placed on the market).
We only deliver to world wide. If you provide a delivery address in another country, we can refuse your order.
To place an order, you must be at least 18 years old. If you are not 18 years old, we request that the order is placed by your parents or legal guardian. If we notice that an order has been placed by a minor, we can refuse this order.
Placing an order on the website constitutes explicit acceptance of our general sales conditions that are always available via the website.
If you order online, a copy of these general Terms & Conditions in a format that you can save or print will be sent to you, at the latest at the time of delivery confirmation. We also recommend that you always do this.
If additional special terms & conditions apply in addition to these general terms and conditions, the above also applies to these special terms & conditions. If our general terms & conditions conflict with those special conditions, then as a consumer you are at all times entitled to rely on the most advantageous text to your advantage.
Article 3 Our Quotation and your order
If a quotation has a limited period of validity or is subject to certain conditions, this will be explicitly mentioned by us in our quotation.
We always describe as fully and accurately as possible what we sell and how the ordering process will proceed. The description is in any case sufficiently detailed to let you make an informed judgement. If we use images, they are a true representation of the offered goods and/or services. To err is, however, human and if we have obviously made a mistake, we are not obliged to nevertheless fulfil the delivery.
Your order is complete and the agreement between us is final as soon as we confirm your order by email and once we receive approval from the card issuer for payment transactions using either a credit or debit card. We accept bank transfer. If your card issuer refuses to make payment to us, we cannot be held responsible for delays in delivery nor for non-delivery of your order. Orders without valid payment in the name of the registered cardholder are not accepted nor processed.
To purchase a product, add the product to your shopping basket. Afterwards you enter your contact details and billing data. Then choose your method of delivery: postal service, personal delivery and installation. In the last step you get an overview page where you accept our Terms & Conditions and confirm your payment by pressing the order button with the caption "order with payment obligation”. If you have followed these steps, your purchase is final.
Article 4 Right of cancellation
If you buy goods or services from us, you have the right to decide within 14 days of delivery or entering into the agreement that you do not want to keep the goods. You can then return your order without having to pay anything extra and without having to give any reasons (you pay the costs yourself). Within 14 days of receiving your returned order or your message indicating that you wish to cancel the agreement, we will refund you the full purchase price using the same payment method you used to pay.
The direct costs of returning the goods are therefore at your expense. We will indicate the cost price of this is or make an estimate, if this cannot reasonably be calculated in advance. If it is not possible to return the goods in the post, we will come and collect them from you and you will not be charged for this.
Before making the refund, we will wait until we have received the goods back or until you have sent us proof that you have returned the goods, whichever comes first.
During the first 14 days after delivery, we expect you to handle the order and packaging with care. If you still want to return the goods as described above, you may only unpack or use them insofar as necessary to assess whether you wish to keep the goods. Adjustments may be made to goods that are returned; however, goods that are returned may not have been used. When returning goods, they should be returned in the original packaging, with all the accessories that came with them and in the original condition and packaging, taking into account our instructions below.
You can return your order by post or courier.
In order to exercise your right of cancellation correctly, please let us know by email that you wish to return your order. We will send you an acknowledgement of receipt of your cancellation by email.
Article 5 The price
During the period we mention in our quotation, our prices will not change, except for price changes due to changes in VAT rates.

This means that in case of defects or defects to the goods up to 2 years after delivery, these goods will be repaired free of charge or replaced. Insofar as this is possible and reasonable, you have the choice between repair or replacement. Only in cases where repair or replacement would either be disproportionate or impossible or could not be carried out within a reasonable time period, will you have the right to demand a price reduction or dissolution of the sales agreement. If the defect or shortcoming manifests itself within 6 months of delivery, this is deemed to have already existed before the delivery, unless we can prove otherwise. After 6 months you will have to prove yourself that the defect was already present at the time of delivery.
