    1. Prior to the customer’s electronic confirmation of the order, N.V. Blondé Communication will notify the customer of all necessary information as regards the items the customer has ordered.

      The items are described and represented as accurately as possible on the website. If there is a mistake or a difference in colour, for example, despite all the precautions, it will not be possible to hold N.V. Blondé Communication responsible for this.

      N.V. Blondé Communication cannot be held liable for any derogation from these delivery costs that are caused exclusively by a distribution company. The distribution company appointed by N.V.

  3. Information from the customer

    The customer is obliged to inform N.V. Blondé Communication of all the information that N.V. Blondé Communication deems necessary to ensure that the order is carried out smoothly and correctly.

    For these purposes, N.V. Blondé Communication will indicate the mandatory fields of the N.V. Blondé Communication E-shop, which have to be completed to carry out the order.

    The customer is solely responsible for the correctness, comprehensiveness and accuracy of the information that he has provided.

    1. Conclusion of the order

      The order takes effect when the customer electronically confirms the order to N.V. Blondé Communication.

      N.V. Blondé Communication reserves the right to refuse the order, not to carry it out or to subject it to additional conditions if one of the following occurs:

      • the customer has provided incorrect, incomplete and/or false data;
      • there is evidence or serious indications of non-payment and/or fraud by the customer;
      • (a) previous order(s) has (have) still not been paid, for whatever reason.

    2. Guarantee for the customer - consumer

      Based on Articles 1649 bis et seq of the Civil Code as regards sales to the consumer, the customer-consumer has a legal guarantee at his disposal.

      The customer acknowledges that, to be able to enjoy the rights accompanying this legal guarantee, he is to submit the delivery note to N.V. Blondé Communication.

    3. Guarantee for the customer - non-consumer

      Complaints concerning hidden defects are to be lodged within 15 days of having established the defect.

      N.V. Blondé Communication’s liability will then be limited to repairs where possible, replacement by a similar product or reimbursement of the purchase price.

      N.V. Blondé Communication shall under no circumstances be liable for indirect consequences of the unavailability of a product resulting from this product’s defectiveness.

      N.V. Blondé Communication’s guarantee term can in no way exceed the manufacturers’ guarantee term and will in any event be limited to six months.

      It shall under no circumstances be possible to hold N.V. Blondé Communication liable for the damage, including bodily harm, and the consequences for the customer or a third party which are the result of lack of maintenance, unauthorised or improper use, intentional damage or negligence.

    4. Right to cancel – conditions and manner of exercise

      The customer, who wishes to use the items exclusively for non-professional purposes, is entitled to notify N.V. Blondé Communication that he cancels his purchase within 7 workdays of the day following the conclusion of the order or upon delivery of the items.

      If the customer cancels his purchase of the ordered items, and does so within 7 workdays of the day following the conclusion of the order or upon delivery of the items, then the customer is to return the items, unopened, to N.V. Blondé Communication within 10 workdays of the delivery, and he is to do so in accordance with the instructions as they are stated in the e-mail from N.V. Blondé Communication’s logistics service to the customer.

      The customer acknowledges that he is liable for the costs and the risks of the return dispatch.

      Only if the unopened items are returned within the abovementioned term and in accordance with the instructions as stated by N.V. Blondé Communication’s logistics service, will N.V. Blondé Communication, after it has received the items concerned, reimburse the customer for the advance payment, and it will do so within 30 days after N.V. Blondé Communication has received the respective items.

  5. Delivery term – address – how to order

    1. In Belgium, N.V. Blondé Communication undertakes to deliver the order within 7 workdays if all the products are in stock.

      For deliveries abroad, one should count on a delivery term of approximately 10 workdays.

      This delivery term is indicated in good faith, although it is not guaranteed.

      Under no circumstances can a delay in the delivery lead to a cancellation of the order and/or compensation for damages.

    2. N.V. Blondé Communication delivers the items ordered by the customer at the address he has provided.

      If the customer is not there, a message is left and the item is presented a second time.

      If delivery is impossible or if the customer refuses to accept delivery, N.V. Blondé Communication will contact the customer to deliberate with him.

      The customer will be charged for all costs for a second delivery, destruction or return of the consignment.

      Upon default of timely instructions by the customer, N.V. Blondé Communication will destroy or sell the consignment as it deems fit.

      If the consignment cannot be delivered because the customer’s address is incorrect or incomplete, Blondé Communication will contact the customer and attempt to find the correct address.

      Additional costs for the delivery at an address that differs from the one that was originally provided by the customer will be charged.

    3. Upon delivery, the customer signs a receipt for the delivery. If he refuses the delivery because of hidden defects and/or irregularities, he is to state this on the delivery receipt.

      After signing the receipt, the customer checks the delivery against the packing list that is attached to the packet. If the number or the nature of the items ordered by the customer does not correspond with what is stated on the packing list, or the contents of the packet, the customer shall notify N.V. Blondé Communication accordingly within 2 workdays after the items have been delivered.

    4. Any possible complaints of damage to the ordered goods must be sent through to N.V. Blondé Communication within 2 workdays, at the latest. It must be possible to show us the contents and the original packaging to corroborate the complaint.

  6. Terms and conditions of payment – possible reimbursement and invoicing

    1. The items ordered by the customer are to be paid before they are delivered.

    2. This payment may be made by means of a credit card in the following manner:

      • the customer orders the items he wants;
      • the customer pays the amount of the respective items by means of a credit card.

    3. If the order can still not be carried out for whatever reason, the amount paid in advance by the customer will be re-transferred and this will be done, at the latest, 30 days after payment.

    4. Only customers, who, as a result of the order, have provided a company registration number, will receive an invoice for the items ordered.

  7. Privacy protection

    N.V. Blondé Communication or its employees safely file all personal data required to process the order and the data may, where necessary to process the order, be passed on to firms with which N.V. Blondé Communication, or its service providers, collaborate.

    Every time N.V. Blondé Communication passes on personal data to third parties, these third parties may only process these personal data for the purposes that are strictly allied to their tasks.

    These third parties are bound by the conditions that N.V. Blondé Communication imposes on them, which guarantees privacy protection.

    He may also, by addressing this customer service, always object to the use of his personal and traffic data with a view to direct marketing.

  8. Nullity
