In such case, the rules above apply and the price to be paid shall be the price in the confirmation of order. Price changes that are due to changes in VAT rates will be borne by the Purchaser.

5 DELIVERY


5.1 We process every order with the care it deserves. The order shall be processed within one (1) week upon order confirmation. DG has the right to stipulate wider delivery terms, which shall be communicated within a reasonable timespan after the order confirmation. The Purchaser may only terminate the agreement if DG fails to deliver the Products within the communicated delivery deadline. In the event of such termination, DG will reimburse all sums paid without undue delay and no later than fourteen (14) calendar days after termination of the agreement.


5.2 DG uses external parties and carriers for the execution of the delivery, in particular Malca-Amit. This may have an effect on the delivery. DG takes however no responsibility for delivery arriving late or for an order which is lost by third parties or by unforeseen circumstances or force majeure. If an order that has been sent remains undelivered, DG will conduct an investigation at the carrier’s end. This can take several days. During this period, DG cannot provide any reimbursement or proceed to a re-delivery of the Products.


5.3 The Purchaser is responsible to make the delivery possible at the indicated address, either by being present himself or by designating a third-party present at the indicated address at the moment of the delivery. If Purchaser or a designated third-party is not available to take delivery or collection, carrier may leave a card giving you instructions on either re-delivery or collection from the carrier. The package might also be delivered to a neighbour or a safe place.


5.4 If delivery or collection is delayed through Purchaser’s or designated third-party unreasonable refusal to accept delivery or if Purchaser does not (within two weeks of our first attempt to deliver the Product to you) accept delivery or collect the Product from the carrier, then DG may (without affecting any other right or remedy available) do either or both of the following:
Charge Purchaser for reasonable storage fee and other costs reasonably incurred by DG; or
No longer make the Product available for delivery or collection and notify Purchaser that DG is immediately cancelling the applicable contract, in which case DG will refund to Purchaser or to Purchaser’s credit or debit card company as applicable any money already paid to DG under the applicable contract, less DG’s reasonable administration charges, including for attempting to deliver and then returning the Product, and any storage fees as provided for in clause 5.3 and 5.4 above.


5.5 DG bears the risk for damage and/or loss of the Products until the moment of delivery. Risk associated with the goods shall pass from DG to the Purchaser on delivery. Each delivery requires a signature of the delivery confirmation, but a lack of signature does not affect the transfer of risk.


6 DEFECTS AND COMPLAINTS


6.1 The Consumer has a statutory warranty of two years. He may exercise this right if the Product purchased does not correspond to the goods requested. However, the Consumer may not invoke the statutory warranty in the event of changes to the delivery date or place or in the event of defects of which he was aware at the time of the sale.


6.2 The statutory warranty may be invoked if the non-conformity of the delivered Product is established within 2 years from the delivery of the Product. The statutory warranty starts from the delivery of the Product to the Consumer.


6.3 The warranty is not applicable when the damage is caused by normal wear and tear; accidental or intentional changes caused by the Purchaser to the Product, including improper and incorrect use; exposure to moisture, fire, earthquake or other external causes.


6.4 The Purchaser or the third party designated by the Purchaser are required to examine the Products accurately on their conformity as soon as the Products are received. If the Product is affected by a visible defect, and the receiver perceives this defect, he must submit a complaint. Purchaser shall communicate these complaints towards DG in a written statement and in an explicit, unambiguous and motivated manner. This must be done within two (2) months upon delivery. It is the duty of the Purchaser to motivate this communication sufficiently. We recommend a statement that uses all reasonable technical resources, such as photos and videos.


6.5 The Purchaser must send the defective Products back to DG in their original condition. We ask the Purchaser to, if possible, use the original packaging, include the original accessories and documentation, accompanied by the original invoice or a valid proof of payment. Sending back an order is always at risk of the Purchaser. We recommend a registered and insured return shipment to avoid the risks of loss and theft. This return shipment must be done within fourteen (14) calendar days after the communication.


6.6 This statutory warranty covers the repair or replacement of the defective Product. However, if it should appear that the repair or replacement is impossible, disproportionate or would cause serious inconvenience to Us or to the Consumer, We undertake to grant the Consumer an appropriate price reduction or, in the event of serious non-conformity, to terminate the Contract and refund the full price, subject to the return of the Product by the Consumer.


6.7 If the Products have been sent back although the conditions were not met, DG will send the Products to the Purchaser back again. The cost of this shipment will be borne by the Purchaser. DG may stock the returned Products at third parties, for account and at the risk of the Purchaser, as long as the costs of return have not been paid.

The Purchaser shall return the undamaged Product in its original condition and if possible, include original packaging, proof of payment, accessories, etc. to DG within fourteen (14) days of giving notice. We recommend a registered and insured return shipment to avoid the risks of loss and theft. If the Purchaser makes use of his right of withdrawal, he is responsible for the costs of returning the Products. Even if the Products cannot be returned by regular mail due to their nature, the Purchaser will be responsible for the costs of returning the Products. The Purchaser shall take all reasonable measures to ensure that the Products reach DG in good condition. If DG accepts the returned Product, DG will refund the full amount paid by Purchaser as soon as DG has received the Product.

The supply of goods which are made to the Consumer’s specifications, or are clearly personalized (Article VI.53, 3° Economic Code (Wetboek van Economisch Recht));
Where the goods supplied have, according to their nature, been inseparably mixed with other items after delivery (Article VI.53, 6° Economic Code (Wetboek van Economisch Recht)).


7.4 The Consumer is liable for any reduction in the value of the Products resulting from the handling of the Products that goes beyond what is necessary to determine the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Products. We are entitled to charge the cost of the reduction in value in proportion to the reimbursement.


8 FORCE MAJEURE


8.1 We are not responsible for compliance with our obligations under these Terms and Conditions in the event of force majeure. Force majeure is understood to be a situation in which the performance of our obligations, in whole or in part, whether or not temporarily, is prevented by circumstances beyond our control.
