General Conditions

When you send an order to the seller, specify delivery instructions or take delivery of the products, this implies in all cases that you fully accept the present General Conditions. All our deliveries, services and offers are governed exclusively by these GCS, unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing. We oppose all general or specific conditions which are contrary to, or override, these conditions.
The term “consumer” used in these General Conditions means a natural person placing an order which does not fall within the scope of his professional commercial or liberal activity. A “professional” within the meaning of these Conditions is a natural or legal person who, when placing an order, is acting within the framework and on behalf of his professional liberal or commercial activity. The term “customer” can mean a consumer as well as a professional.

Right of withdrawal
In accordance with the provisions of the Code of Economic Law, our consumer customers have a period of fourteen (14) days, increased to thirty (30) days with Kalani, from receipt of goods in which to exercise their right of withdrawal without having to justify their reasons or to pay any penalties, except for the costs of returning the goods. No right of withdrawal exists for products manufactured in accordance with the Customer’s specifications or clearly personalised or which, because of their nature, cannot be returned or are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly.
Notification of the exercise of the right of withdrawal may be sent to us by any means of communication to the addresses and numbers provided at the beginning of these General Conditions of Sale.
Goods must be returned to us, within 30 days of the notification of the withdrawal, in their original packaging and in perfect condition enabling them to be re-sold in an unused condition. You have the right to open the packaging and to try the products delivered insofar as this does not render the goods unsuitable for re-sale. It is therefore not permitted to return products which have been used or washed. For reasons of hygiene, cosmetics or care items, as well as underwear, must be returned unopened and unused, failing which no reimbursement can be made..
In the event of the exercise of the right of withdrawal within the above mentioned period, the total price of your returned purchases will be fully refunded by bank transfer to the account you indicated us for this purpose as soon as possible and at the latest within 14 days of receipt of the returned goods. You may, if you wish, choose our proposal for another means of reimbursement (a credit or a purchase voucher).
It is important to know that Belgian legislation prohibits any merchant or e-merchant from making a refund for any payment made with ecocheques (regardless of the issuing company of the ecocheques: Edenred, Sodexo, Up Monizze or whatever their origin). Therefore, refunds of payments made with EcoCheques, EcoPass, EcoVoucher, TicketsCompliments, CadeauPass, are not legally permitted by law. However, in the event of a return, we are allowed to give you an exchange voucher or a gift voucher.
