By validating the order, the User indicates his agreement with the GSC as well as with the price and the description of the Products. Any dispute related to this subject will be treated in the context of a possible exchange and of the guaranties mentioned hereafter. 

Each modification of the order by the Buyer after the confirmation of his order is subject to the acceptance by the Vendor.

The Vendor then validates the order by sending an email confirmation to the User.

In certain cases, in particular the cases of non-payment, of the specification of an incorrect address or of another problem due to the User, the Vendor reserves the right to block the order until the resolution of the problem. The Vendor also reserves the right to refuse any order for legitimate reasons and more specifically if the quantities of the ordered Products are abnormally high. 

If an ordered Product is not available, the Vendor informs the User by sending an email message. In such a case the order will be cancelled for this Product and the part of the sales price related to this Product will be reimbursed. The other Products included in the same order as the unavailable Product remain ordered, with a possible reduction of the shipment costs, if applicable. 

10. Payment methods 

The Buyer must pay the full amount of his purchases at the time of the validation of the order. The payment will be made by bank card or by bank transfer.

11. Delivery 

11.1 Delivery address

The Products will be shipped to the address indicated by the Buyer during the specification of the order.

11.2 Delivery period

The Vendor commits himself to deliver the Products within the standard delivery period for an order as indicated on the Online Store.

If the Online Store mentions the possibility of an express delivery, the applicable delivery periods (always subject to the availability of the Product in question) are indicated on the Online Store. In these cases the Vendor will invoice the additional shipment costs to the User, as indicated on the Online Store.

When the Buyer orders several Products at the same time and these Products have different delivery periods, the delivery period of the order will be based on the longest delay. Anyway, the Vendor reserves the right to split his shipments.

When the ordered Product is not delivered on the date or at the end of the delivery period mentioned on the order form, the Buyer is entitled, after having unsuccessfully urged the Vendor to execute his delivery obligation within an additional and reasonable delay, to cancel the contract by means of a registered letter with a request of acknowledgement of receipt or by a letter written on another durable medium.

11.3 Delivery terms

The delivery is executed through the delivery of the Product directly to the Buyer or otherwise, through the sending by the Vendor of a notice of readiness of the Product to the Buyer.

Within a delay of fifteen days to be counted from the date of the notice of readiness, the Buyer must proceed to the withdrawal of the ordered Product.

When the Product is delivered by a transporter to the address indicated on the order form, it is up to the Buyer to check the state of the delivered Product in the presence of the deliverer and, in the case of damage, of missing parts or products or if the Product is not conform to the order, he has to mention his remarks on the delivery note or on the freight bill, and he may possibly refuse the Product and inform the Vendor of his refusal.

12. Right of withdrawal

The Buyer has the right to withdraw from the contract without specifying a motif within a delay of fourteen days, except for the products listed in article L221-28 of the consumer code for which the Buyer has no withdrawal right whatsoever.

The withdrawal period expires fourteen days after the day (i) when the Buyer, or a third person other than the transporter and assigned by the Buyer, physically receives the good, or (ii) if several Products were ordered within a single order and the goods were delivered separately, when the Buyer, or a third person other than the transporter and assigned by the Buyer, physically receives the last good.

In order to exercise the right of withdrawal, the Buyer must notify the Vendor, KICK AND RUSH SA/NV, Joint stock company under Belgian law with a capital of 200.158 €, identified under the VAT number BE 0457855935, with headquarters in 123 Boulevard de l'Europe, 1300 Wavre (Belgium), his decision of withdrawal by means of a declaration free of any ambiguities (for example, by a letter sent by mail or by an email message). 

In order to respect the withdrawal delay, it is sufficient that the Buyer will transmit his communication regarding the exercising of his withdrawal right before the expiration of the withdrawal period.

 In the case of withdrawal by the Buyer, the Vendor will reimburse all the payments received from the Buyer in relation to the Product in question, with inclusion of the shipment costs (with the exception of the additional costs resulting from the case when the Buyer would have chosen delivery terms other than the less expensive standard delivery terms proposed by the Vendor), without excessive delay and in any case not later than fourteen days to be counted from the day when the Vendor will be informed about the withdrawal decision. The Vendor will proceed with the reimbursement using the same payment method as the one used by the Buyer for the initial transaction, except if the Buyer explicitly agrees with a different payment method; in any case, the reimbursement will not result in additional costs for the Buyer.

As an exception to what is specified above, the Vendor reserves the right to postpone the reimbursement until the moment when he has received the Product or until the moment when the Buyer has delivered proof of the return shipment of the good, the date withheld being the date of the first of these events. 

The Buyer must return the Product to the address mentioned in the header of this document, without excessive delay and, in any case, no later than fourteen days after having communicated his decision of withdrawal to the Vendor. This delay is considered to have been observed if the Buyer returns the Product before the expiration of the delay of fourteen days.

The Buyer bears the direct costs for the returning of the good.

The responsibility of the Buyer shall only be liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, the characteristics and the proper functioning of the Product. Under this hypothesis, the Vendor reserves the possibility to reduce or to refuse the reimbursement. 

13. Guarantees

Independent of any commercial guarantee that possibly may be awarded by the Vendor, the latter is liable for the lack of conformity of the Products according to the conditions of the article L217-4 and following of the consumer code and for the concealed defects of the goods sold according to the conditions foreseen in the articles 1641 and following of the civil code.

13.1 Guarantee of conformity

The Vendor has to deliver the goods in conformity with the order and will respond to any conformity deficiencies existing at the time of delivery.

He will also respond to any conformity deficiencies resulting from the packaging, the assembly instructions or the installation when this was executed by himself or was performed under his responsibility.

Without prejudice to the non-binding nature of the photos mentioned in article 5 hereafter, in order to be conform, the Product must:

-        be appropriate for the use normally expected for such a good and, if applicable:

• correspond to the description given by the Vendor and possess the qualifications presented by the Vendor to the Buyer in the form of a sample or of a model;
• present the qualifications that a buyer may legitimately expect in view of the public statements made by the Vendor, by the manufacturer or by his representative, particularly in advertising or on labelling ;

-        or present the characteristics defined in a common agreement between the parties or be suitable for any special usage required by the Buyer, communicated to the Vendor and accepted by the latter. 

Any action resulting from defects in conformity ceases to be valid after two years to be counted from the date of delivery of the good.

If the Buyer wishes to make a call upon the legal guarantee of non-conformity, he needs to contact the Vendor whose coordinates are indicated in the header of this document.

When a call is made upon the legal guarantee of non-conformity, the Buyer:

-        disposes of a two year time period to act, to be counted from the day of the delivery of the Product;

-        has the choice between the repair or the replacement of the Product, subject to the cost conditions foreseen in the article L217-9 of the consumer code;

-        is exempted from the reporting of the proof of the lack of conformity of the good during the twenty four months following the delivery of the Product.

13.2 Guarantee of hidden defects

The Vendor is bound to the guarantee on account of the hidden defects of the object sold that make it unsuitable for the purpose for which it was destined, or that reduce this usage in such a way that the Buyer would not have purchase it, or would have paid a lower price for it, if he had known these hidden defects.

The action resulting from critical defects must be brought by the Buyer within a period of two years to be counted from the moment when the defect was discovered.

The Buyer may decide to make a call on the guarantee of hidden defects on the object sold according to the conditions described in the article 1641 of the civil code. In this hypothesis, he may choose between the cancellation of the sale or a price reduction in accordance with the article 1644 of the civil code.

The order forms and invoices will be archived by the Vendor on a reliable and long lasting medium. 

15. Responsibility 

The Vendor cannot be held responsible if the failure to execute his obligations is due, either to the unpredictable and insurmountable act of a third party, either to a case of force majeure (for the Vendor or for his subcontractors and partners).

The responsibility of the Vendor cannot commit for the non-conformity of the Product to the legislation applicable to the Buyer if it does not refer to the French law. In such a case, it is up to the latter to verify whether the Product is not prohibited for sales in the country concerned.

The Vendor cannot be held responsible for any inconvenience or damage related to the use of the internet such as a service interruption, an outside intrusion or the presence of IT viruses.
