In the event supply problems or if the products are no longer in stock, we reserve the right to inform the Customer of the option open to him to order of the alternative products of an identical or superior quality or value.

ARTICLE 5 – PRICES – PAYMENT
Our prices are stated in euro and include VAT.

Our prices are those specified on our website, except in case of patent error.

If we do not get a reply from the Customer regarding the alternative we are proposing within eight days, we will cancel the order and refund the sums paid.

Our prices do not include delivery costs. These costs are discussed in detailed in article 6.

In principle, our prices are non-revisable. However, we may pass on the price changes from our suppliers which occurred between the order and the delivery as well as any changes in the VAT rate or new taxes decreed before the delivery date.

Without prejudice to the provisions regarding the availability of the Products, the regulations governing the sale of medicines and medical devices, and force majeure, we shall bring every effort to bear to fill the order of the Products(s) specified in each Order Confirmation ahead of the delivery date specified in the said Order Confirmation or, if no delivery date was specified, within the time stated when the Customer selects his chosen delivery method and, at all times within no more than thirty days counting from the date of order confirmation.

If we are unable to meet the delivery date for whatever reason, we shall inform the Customer thereof as soon as possible and offer to either continue the performance of the Contract with a new delivery date, or to terminate the Contract and to refund the sums paid by the Customer.

The “delivery” shall be considered as having been performed, or the order shall be considered as having been “delivered” when the Customer or a third party appointed by the former has taken physical possession of the products, which shall be corroborated by the signing of the acknowledgement of receipt slip of the order at the agreed delivery address.

ARTICLE 7 – RESERVATION OF TITLE
The title of ownership over the Products shall remain with Deutschland Inkontinenz by SRL SANACURE until receipt of payment in full the price and of the delivery costs.

ARTICLE 8 – TRANSFER OF RISK
The risks associated with the Products shall transfer to the Customer at the time when the Customer or a third party appointed by the former and other than the haulier takes physical possession of the products.

ARTICLE 9 – RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
• Statutory right of withdrawal

The Customer has the right to withdraw from the Contract within fourteen days after it was concluded without being required to state grounds.

LThe withdrawal period ends fourteen days after the day on which the Customer, or a third party other than the haulier and appointed by the Customer, takes physical possession of the Product sold. Where the contract relates to several Products ordered in a single order, and where these Products are delivered separately, the withdrawal period ends fourteen days after the day on which the Customer, or a third party other than the haulier and appointed by the Customer, takes physical possession of the last product.

In order to exercise his right of withdrawal, the Customer is to notify us of his decision to withdraw from the Contract by way of an unambiguous statement to the effect (for example, by telephone, postal letter, fax or e-mail) or by using the model withdrawal form available at the URL below:
https://economie.fgov.be/sites/default/files/Files/Forms/Formulaire-de-retractation.pdf

For the withdrawal period to be observed, all the Customer needs to do is to send us his message regarding his exercise of his right of withdrawal ahead of the expiry of the fourteen-day withdrawal period.

• Effects of withdrawal

In the event of withdrawal, we shall refund all payments received from the Customer, including the delivery costs (except for supplementary costs arising from the fact that the Customer has chosen a delivery method other than the least expensive method offered, which is the standard delivery) without undue delay and certainly no later than fourteen days counting from the day on which we were informed of the Customer’s decision to withdraw from the sale/purchase. We shall transact the refund using the same method of payment as the method used by the Customer for his original payment, unless expressly agreed otherwise. In no event shall this refund involve costs for the Customer.

We reserve the right to hold the refund until we have receive the product(s) or until the Customer has provided us with proof of shipment of the product(s), whichever of the two events is the earliest.

The Customer is to send back or return the product(s) to the address specified in article 2, without undue delay and certainly no later than fourteen days counting from the day on which he informed us of his decision to withdraw from the sale/purchase. This period shall be deemed to have been observed if the product is sent back before the expiry of the fourteen-day period.

The direct costs for returning the goods are to be paid by the Customer.

The Customer is asked to send the products back in their original packaging, along with all documents accompanying these products as applicable and especially the order summary that came with the delivery.

The Customer shall be liable only for the depreciation of the products resulting from handling other than the handling necessary to determine the nature, characteristics and proper performance of these products. In this respect, we reserve the right to assess matters on a case by case basis, which may result in the refund not being transacted or the refund being paid net of the said depreciation.

• Exception to the right of withdrawal

By way of an exception, the Customer does not have a right of withdrawal where the Contract relates to goods that were purpose-made in accordance with the consumer’s specifications or that are clearly personalised, are liable to quickly deteriorate or perish or to sealed goods that cannot be shipped back on grounds of health or hygiene protection and which were opened (unsealed) by the Customer after delivery.

• Right of withdrawal specific to medical devices

For medical devices, the right of withdrawal applies before we dispatch the parcels.

For reasons of public health, medical devices that have been dispatched cannot be taken back.

The only exception to these rules is where the medical devices are flawed, in which case the Customer shall have the right to also withdraw from the sale/purchase after the products were dispatched.

ARTICLE 10 – GUARANTEE OF CONSUMER GOODS

However, the non-conformity shall be deemed not to exist if, at the time when the contract was concluded, the Customer was aware of the non-conformity or could not reasonably have been unaware thereof, or if the said non-conformity is attributable to him.

It is hereby agreed that the Customer shall be required to notify us of all non-conformities within two months at the latest, counting from the day on which he established the non-conformity. Non-compliance with this obligation shall see the Customer forfeit the above rights by reason of non-conformity.
