Article 5. Orders
5.1 Product Characteristics
The SELLER undertakes to present the essential characteristics of the PRODUCTS (on the information sheets available on the WEBSITE) and the mandatory information that the CUSTOMER must receive under applicable law (in these General Terms and Conditions).
The CUSTOMER undertakes to carefully read this information before placing an order on the WEBSITE.
Unless expressly stated otherwise on the WEBSITE, all PRODUCTS sold by the SELLER are new and comply with current European legislation and applicable standards in Belgium.
5.2 Order Procedure
Orders for PRODUCTS are placed directly on the WEBSITE. To place an order, the CUSTOMER must follow the steps described below (please note that depending on the CUSTOMER’s starting page, the steps may differ slightly).
5.2.1 Selection of PRODUCTS and Purchase Options
The CUSTOMER must select the PRODUCT(S) of their choice by clicking on the relevant PRODUCT(S) and choosing the desired characteristics and quantities. Once selected, the PRODUCT is added to the CUSTOMER’s shopping cart. The CUSTOMER may then add as many PRODUCTS as desired.
At any time on the WEBSITE, the CUSTOMER may:
- View the details of the selected PRODUCTS by clicking “View my cart”,
- Continue shopping by clicking “Continue shopping”,
- Complete their selection and place the order by clicking “Order”.
5.2.2 Orders
Once the PRODUCTS have been selected and added to the cart, the CUSTOMER must click on the cart and check that the contents of the order are correct. If not already done, the CUSTOMER will then be asked to log in or register.
Once the cart has been validated and the CUSTOMER has logged in / registered, an online form will be displayed automatically summarizing the price, applicable taxes and, where applicable, delivery costs.
The CUSTOMER is invited to check the contents of their order (including quantity, characteristics and references of the PRODUCTS ordered, delivery address, billing address, payment method and price), as well as the DELIVERY time depending on the chosen delivery method, before validating it. The CUSTOMER may correct any errors before confirming the order.
After validating the order content and once all required information has been completed, the CUSTOMER will tick the box accepting these General Terms and Conditions and click on “Confirm order”. The order validation includes the wording “Order with obligation to pay”.
This second click constitutes an electronic signature. This signature has the same legal value as a handwritten signature and binds the CUSTOMER accordingly. The order form will be recorded in the SELLER’s computer systems, stored on a reliable and durable medium, and will be considered proof of the CUSTOMER’s commitment.
The CUSTOMER may choose the payment method from those offered by the SELLER and proceed with payment by following the instructions on the WEBSITE and providing all information necessary for invoicing and DELIVERY. For PRODUCTS with available options, specific references will appear once the correct options have been selected. Orders must include all information necessary for proper processing. The CUSTOMER must also select the chosen delivery method.
5.2.3 Order Acknowledgement
Once all the above steps have been completed, a page will appear on the WEBSITE acknowledging receipt of the CUSTOMER’s order. A copy of the order acknowledgement (order confirmation) will automatically be sent to the CUSTOMER by email, provided that the email address supplied during registration is correct. This confirms the conclusion of the sales contract.
The SELLER does not send order confirmations by post or fax.
5.2.4 Invoicing
During the order process, the CUSTOMER must enter the information necessary for invoicing (mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk (*)).
The CUSTOMER must clearly indicate all delivery-related information, in particular the exact DELIVERY address and any access codes.
The CUSTOMER must then specify the chosen payment method.
Neither the online order form nor the order acknowledgement email constitutes an invoice. Regardless of the order or payment method used, the printable invoice will be available in the CUSTOMER’s account under “My orders”, and the CUSTOMER will receive the delivery slip inside the package upon DELIVERY.
5.3 Order Date
The order date is the date on which the SELLER acknowledges receipt of the order online. The time limits indicated on the WEBSITE begin to run from that date (except for the right of withdrawal).
5.4 Prices
For all PRODUCTS, prices are displayed on the WEBSITE in euros, all taxes included, as well as applicable delivery costs (depending on cart value, delivery address and chosen carrier or transport method, in accordance with Appendix 2). The price indicated in the order acknowledgement issued by the SELLER is the final price and includes transport and DELIVERY costs.
Prices include value-added tax (VAT) at the rate applicable on the order date. Any change in the applicable VAT rate may affect the price of the PRODUCTS from the effective date of the new rate.
The SELLER’s suppliers’ prices may change. Consequently, prices displayed on the WEBSITE may change and may also be modified in the event of special offers or sales. Prices shown are valid unless there is a manifest error. The applicable price is the one displayed on the WEBSITE at the time the order is placed by the CUSTOMER.
5.5 Product Availability
Product unavailability is generally indicated on the relevant product page. CUSTOMERS may also be informed by the SELLER when a product is restocked.
The SELLER updates product availability on the WEBSITE very frequently but cannot be held responsible if stock levels differ from those displayed. In any event, if unavailability was not indicated at the time of ordering, the SELLER undertakes to inform the CUSTOMER without delay.
At the CUSTOMER’s request, the SELLER may:
- Propose to ship all PRODUCTS together once out-of-stock PRODUCTS become available again;
- Proceed with partial shipment of available PRODUCTS first, then ship the remainder once available, subject to clear information regarding any additional shipping costs;
- Propose an alternative PRODUCT of equivalent quality and price, subject to CUSTOMER acceptance.

Article 1649 of the Civil Code:
