Method Type 2: Delivery Special Transportation (Large Objects)

We will always contact you the day before the delivery day, or even a few days in advance, to inform you that will make a delivery to you on the next working day c.q. in a few working days. This way you do not have to wait at home for your parcel to arrive and you will have an approximate indication of the delivery day and time.
Attention: If you are not at home at the time of the first delivery after the delivery has been confirmed by phone or mail, additional transportation costs may be charged. In case of a second delivery, additional transport costs will be charged to the customer.
If the order cannot be delivered and the product is returned, the customer will also be charged for the originally paid transport costs and the return costs.
If the customer has already paid in advance, the Seller will refund the amount paid minus the transport and possible return costs. If payment has not been made in advance, the customer will receive an invoice for the transport and return costs incurred.
Attention: deliveries of large objects are only possible on the ground floor and the customer may be asked to help with unloading.
6.3 Retention of title
The Seller retains full ownership of the Products until all your obligations have been fulfilled. In the absence of payment of the price, interest or additional costs incurred, the products remain the property of the seller. There will be no transfer of ownership until all payments have been made. Therefore, the customer is not allowed to dispose of the product if these listed conditions are not met.
6.4 Transfer of risk
The transfer of risk takes place at the moment of delivery as mentioned in article 6.1 if the consumer is a consumer.
In the case of a professional customer, the transfer of risk takes place when the goods are dispatched from the vendor's warehouse.
Upon delivery, it is important to inspect the goods for damage. If the package shows any damage, this should be clearly stated on the delivery note. If no mention of damage is made on the delivery note, no compensation can be claimed from the seller or transporter. In that case, the goods concerned cannot be returned or refunded.
7. Liability
The seller's liability cannot be invoked in cases of force majeure. The Customer will not be able to claim compensation for damage in the event of e.g. national or local emergencies, actions by employees, bugs in software or in the event of e.g. late delivery by suppliers to the Seller.
All products mentioned on the website are in accordance with the Belgian and Dutch legislation. The customer is therefore expected to know all the advantages and disadvantages of a product by reading the product description and the General Terms and Conditions.
As a result, the seller cannot be held liable nor can any compensation from the seller be claimed for loss of use, loss of profit, loss of data, loss of personal data, loss of time, emotional damage, loss of opportunity or loss of enjoyment.
If the seller is held liable for a reason other than the above, the seller's liability in any case shall not exceed an amount equal to the acquisition value of the product purchased, with a maximum of 1.250 euros.
8. Guarantee
8.1 Guarantee for consumer goods
The consumer always benefits from the legal guarantee of 2 years on movable physical goods. This period begins to run from the time the product is delivered or collected. This date is also mentioned on the invoice.
For second-hand goods and warehouse clearances, a limited function warranty applies during a period of 1 year.
If a defect arises, the customer must report this to the seller within 2 months of its discovery. Otherwise, the legal guarantee period will have expired.
All products showing a defect during the warranty period must be returned to Belomax, Hoogkamerstraat 308F, 9140 Temse at the customer's expense.
Upon receipt of the product, it will be reviewed by the manufacturer within the timeframe specified by the manufacturer of the product. This can sometimes take some time.
If the product can no longer be repaired or replaced, a partial or full refund will be made in the form of a voucher.
The warranty does not apply if proof can be delivered that the product is defective or damaged due to improper use, or because the product has not been treated with due care.
8.2 Warranty
If there are any hidden defects, they must be reported to the seller by the consumer within 14 days.
Professionals cannot invoke the presence of a hidden defect.
8.3 Costs of research or repairs
Even when the guarantee period has expired, products can often still be repaired. If the customer wishes to have his product repaired or wants to start an investigation to establish the problem, this can be done at his own expense.
9. Archiving
The seller undertakes to keep the relevant accounts or invoices for the legally required period.
10. Default
If the customer does not comply with his payment obligations as already mentioned in article 5, the following compensations and default interests will be applicable.
Any delay in payment will give rise, after a first notice of default, to charging a late payment interest amounting to 8.5% per year. In addition to this late payment interest, an extra fixed compensation of 12% of the principal amount owed will be claimed. In case of late payment, the seller may at any time suspend further deliveries and dissolve the agreement with immediate effect.
11. No Waiver and Nullity
Should the Vendor decide at any time not to make use of these General Terms and Conditions or any of the clauses, this shall not constitute a definitive waiver of these General Terms and Conditions or of any of the clauses.
If certain clauses or articles are declared null and void, the others will continue to apply. This cannot lead to invalidity or nullity of these General Terms and Conditions.
12. Disputes, competent court and applicable law
All actions, contracts and agreements are exclusively governed by Belgian law.
Should any disputes arise, then the court in Dendermonde is competent to take cognizance of all possible disputes between the seller and the customer.
