9. Liability for defective Products.

9.1. For the purposes of our General Terms and Conditions, a Product is defective when it does not offer the safety that can legitimately be expected taking into account all the circumstances and in particular:

 

A Product may not be used for any purpose other than that for which it is intended.

A Product shall not be considered defective merely because a more advanced Product has been put into circulation subsequently.

9.2. The burden of proof of the defect, the damage and the causal link between the defect and the damage lies with you.

9.3. We are not responsible if:

1. a) having regard to the circumstances, there is reason to believe that the defect which caused the damage did not exist at the time the Product was delivered to you;

2. b) the defect is due to the conformity of the Product with mandatory rules issued by public authorities;

3. c) the state of scientific and technical knowledge at the time the Product was put on sale did not allow us to detect the existence of the defect;

4. d) if the damage was caused jointly by a defect in the Product and by your fault or the fault of a person for whom you are responsible.

9.4. The compensation that may be obtained under this provision covers damage to persons, including moral damages and, subject to what will be specified under Article 9.5, damage to property.

9.5.

9.5. Damage to property is only compensable if it relates to property intended and used primarily for your private use or consumption.

9.6.

9.6. Damage to the defective Product itself does not give rise to compensation.

9.7.

9.7. Compensation for damage to property shall only be payable after deduction of an excess of 500 €.

.

10.1. This clause does not affect your rights under the Belgian Civil Code and Economic Law Code governing the sale of consumer goods. Thus, and in particular, the provisions relating to the Warranty for Hidden Defects of the Product sold are applicable after the two-year period provided for under Article 10.5.

 

.

10.2. We endeavour to ensure that our Products:

 

1°correspond to the description given on our Site and possess the qualities we have presented to you in the form of samples or models;

2°are fit for the purpose you are seeking and which you have made known to us at the time of entering into the Contract and which we have accepted;

3°are fit for the purposes for which Products of the same type are normally used;

4°have the usual qualities of a Product of the same type that you can reasonably expect, having regard to the nature of the Product and, where applicable, taking into account the statements made about the actual characteristics of the Product on our Site.

10.3. in the absence of proof to the contrary, a lack of conformity that appears within six months from the delivery of the Product shall be presumed to have existed at the time of delivery, except where this presumption is not compatible with the nature of the Product or the nature of the lack of conformity.

.

10.4. On the other hand, there is no lack of conformity within the meaning of the law if it originates either in the photographs, logos, advertising signs and other media that you have communicated to us, or in the acoustic measurements that you have transmitted to us.

.

10.5. Similarly, there is no lack of conformity within the meaning of the law where this defect results from incorrect installation of the Product by you.

.

10.6 We shall be liable for any lack of conformity that appears within two years of delivery of the Product.

This two year period is suspended for the time necessary to repair or replace the Product or in the event of negotiations between us for an amicable agreement.

<10.7 You must inform us of the existence of a lack of conformity within two months of the day on which you discovered the defect.

10.8. In any event, your rights shall become time-barred within a period of one year from the day on which you became aware of the lack of conformity, although this period shall not expire before the end of the two-year period referred to in Article 10.6.

10.9. In addition to damages, if any, in the event of non-conformity of the delivered Product, you shall have the right to demand either the repair of the Product or its replacement, under the conditions set out in Article 10.10, or an appropriate reduction of the price or the termination of the Contract, under the conditions set out in Article 10.11.

 

However, account shall be taken of the worsening of the damage resulting from the use of the Product after the time when you noticed the lack of conformity or should have noticed it.

10.10. You shall have the right, in the first instance, to demand the repair of the Product or its replacement within a reasonable time, free of charge, unless this is impossible or disproportionate.

.

The costs referred to in the preceding paragraph are the necessary costs incurred in bringing the Product into a compliant condition, including the costs of returning the Product and the costs associated with labour and materials.

A method of compensation is considered disproportionate if it imposes costs on us which, compared with the alternative method of compensation, are unreasonable having regard to:

• of the value that the Product would have if there were no lack of conformity;

• of the significance of the lack of conformity;

• whether the other method of compensation can be implemented without major inconvenience to you.

  .

• 10.11. You have the right to demand an appropriate reduction in price or termination of the Contract:

  .

• if, under clause 10.10, you are not entitled to either repair or replacement of the Product, or

if we have not carried out the repair or replacement within a reasonable time or without significant inconvenience to you.

However, you do not have the right to rescind the Contract if the lack of conformity is minor.

Also, any refund shall be reduced to take account of the use you have had of the Product since delivery.

11.1 The Product is intended to be used exclusively in accordance with the instructions published by the manufacturer or set out in the Product description on our Website.
