These terms and conditions of sale shall prevail over any other general or special terms and conditions not expressly agreed to by the seller. The seller reserves the right to change its terms and conditions of sale at any time. In this case, the applicable conditions will be those in force on the date of the order by the buyer.
Characteristics of the goods and services offered
The products and services offered are those that appear on the pages published on the seller’s website or indicated via a written offer sent by the seller to the buyer. These products and services are subject to availability. If a product mentioned as available should be out of stock, the seller offers the buyer the possibility of 1) cancelling the order, 2) modifying his order by choosing, on the site, another item of the same value. This is without any compensation to the buyer. Each product, which is sold via the site, is accompanied by a summary description, on the site, drawn up by the seller. The photographs in the catalogue are as faithful as possible but cannot ensure a perfect similarity with the offered product, especially regarding colours.
Price
The prices shown on the website are expressed in Euros and include the legal value added tax according to the rates and laws in force in Belgium, but do not include delivery costs. Any change in the rate may be reflected in the price of the products or services. The seller reserves the right to change its prices at any time and without prior notice, it being understood, however, that the price appearing on the site on the day of the order will be the only one applicable to the buyer. In the event of an incorrect price being displayed (due to a technical error, a manual error or a computer bug) the order will be cancelled, even in the case of initial validation.
Orders
If the buyer wishes to place an order directly on the site, an account will be automatically created when their first order is confirmed. For this purpose, they fill in, according to the information provided to them online, a form made available to them in which they will include the information necessary for their order and their future identification, including their surname, first name, telephone number, postal address, email address, billing, and delivery address. If the buyer has already made a purchase on the site; They will first need to log in to their account. The buyer can specify a different delivery address in the comment field than the one specified for invoicing. The buyer, after having chosen the products presented, will definitively validate his order by clicking on the “ORDER” button to express his commitment and acceptance of the general terms and conditions of sale. From then on, the order is registered, and an order number is communicated to the buyer as well as a confirmation on the screen and by e-mail. The data recorded by the https://alterprod.be/ website constitutes proof of the nature, content, and date of the order. The invoice shall include details of the price of each product, excluding tax and, where applicable, the amount of VAT calculated on the total excluding tax and included in the total including VAT. The delivered goods remain the exclusive property of the seller until all debts have been settled. If the buyer does not pay on time, the seller has the right to claim the goods supplied by way of return, without prior notice.
Terms of payment
The price is payable at the time of ordering. The buyer can pay by credit card or instant payment. In the case of payment by credit card, the buyer transmits his card details as part of the order process. After proper legitimation, the seller will ask the credit card company to initiate the payment transaction. The payment transaction is automatically executed by the credit card company and the credit card will be charged. Payments by credit or debit card will be made through the payment provider “Stripe” which uses a secure protocol so that the information transmitted is encrypted by software and no third party can see it during transport on the network. The seller does not accept payment by bank transfer or cheque.
Delivery & Transportation
Delivery is only made after receipt of payment. For all payment methods, the delivery time starts one day after the order has been placed and paid. If the period begins or ends on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, then this period is extended to the next working day. The seller has the right to make partial deliveries, within reason, taking into account that any interests of the buyer are not affected. This has no influence on the content of the contract, the performance due by the seller or the agreed execution period. In the case of partial delivery, no additional costs will be incurred by the buyer. Failure to comply with the deadlines does not entitle the buyer to damages or to the rejection of the ordered goods. The shipping costs are specified in the summary of the order that precedes its validation.
Deliveries are made to the address indicated in the purchase order or in the field provided, if the buyer has desired the delivery address to be different from the billing address. The risks are borne by the buyer from the moment the products have left the seller’s premises. Orders are sent from Belgium. The seller undertakes to make every effort to deliver the goods as soon as possible and to take the necessary steps in the event of an abnormally long delay. The seller cannot be held responsible for any error or impossibility of delivery caused by the buyer miscommunicating the delivery address on the order.
In case of return of the package to the seller, the buyer can maintain or cancel the order. In the event of a reshipment of the package, the new delivery costs may be charged to the buyer, it being understood that the delivery costs already incurred are non-refundable. In the event of force majeure or exceptional events (natural disasters, epidemics, strikes, lockouts, war, etc.) delaying or prohibiting the delivery of the goods, the seller is released from any liability. In any case, delivery within the stipulated period can only take place if the buyer is up to date with his obligations towards the seller. In the event of a stock shortage, either the item will be removed from the site or the item will be reported as out of stock on the site with a potential replenishment time if a future reproduction is planned. If the seller does not know what a restocking period is, the seller will indicate it on the item’s link on the website.
