The possible delays do not entitle the Purchaser to claim damages.
The full ownership of the goods is transferred to the Purchaser on the Invoice Date.
The risk of loss or damage to goods sold is transferred to the Purchaser on the Reception Date.
Upon delivery or removal of the good, the Purchaser (or a third party designated by the Purchaser, and other than the carrier) bears the obligation to check the status of the package (without opening or unpacking it) and to record any visible damage. He shall note all such damages on the document that the carrier asks him to sign as proof of receipt, and report this immediately to LRPS by email.
The Purchaser (or a third party designated by the Purchaser, and other than the carrier) will notify LRPS by email any hidden or invisible damage, that is to say any damage which could not be found before the opening of package, within five calendar days from the Reception Date in order to allow LRPS to make a claim declaration against the carrier. In such an event, the damaged goods must be retained by the Purchaser in their original packaging until the regularization of the claim. This procedure is necessary to allow the carrier to access the damaged goods for control.
According to the legislation in force in Belgium (Article 1641 and next ones of the “Code Civil”), the Purchaser enjoys for all goods purchased on the Site, a legal guarantee against any conformity defect and against any hidden defect for a period of two years as of the Reception Date.
This guarantee covers defects of conformity and hidden defects existing at the time of delivery of goods. Defects or damages caused by misuse, poor maintenance or improper use or contrary to the specifications of LRPS such as water damage, oxidation, fall or impact, negligence and wear, are not covered by guarantee.

The Purchaser has the right to withdraw from the contract without giving any reason, provided that it conveys to LRPS its communication related to the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the expiration of the withdrawal period.
The withdrawal period ends fourteen days after the Reception Date.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, the Purchaser shall notify LRPS its decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (eg letter sent by regular mail or email). The Purchaser may use the downloadable model withdrawal form on the Site or attached below, but this is not mandatory.
LRPS shall reimburse all payments received from the Purchaser, including, where applicable, the cost of delivery to the address of the Purchaser, without undue delay and in any event within fourteen days after the day on which LRPS is informed of the decision of the Purchaser to withdraw from the contract in accordance with Article 11.
LRPS shall make the reimbursement using the same means of payment used by the Purchaser for the initial transaction, unless expressly agreed by the Purchaser to another means of payment and provided that reimbursement does not entail fees for the Purchaser.
LRPS may withhold the reimbursement until LRPS receives the goods or until the Purchaser provides evidence of shipment of the goods, whichever is the earliest of these facts.
The Purchaser shall return or give back (the) unused good (s) in its (their) original packaging, intact (s) together (s) with all accessories, instructions and documentation to the contact address indicated below without undue delay and in any event not later than fourteen days after the Purchaser has communicated its decision to withdraw from this contract. This deadline is deemed met if the Purchaser returns the goods before the end of the fourteen day period.
The Purchaser shall bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
As part of the exercise of his right of withdrawal, the Purchaser may proceed with manipulations of the good purchased (for example, mount, inspect and try it), to the extent that such manipulations are necessary to establish its nature, its characteristics and its proper operation, and provided they do not involve combustion of any fuel. In case of depreciation of the good, the liability of the Purchaser can only be involved if the depreciation results from other manipulations.
Purchaser agrees to carry out for free all the necessary steps to return the goods, regardless of the cause or origin (eg withdrawal by the Purchaser, non-conformity of the good, unreasonable delivery time) according the instructions provided by LRPS. This can require for example to carry the goods in a pick-up/drop-off point of the carrier or in a post office.
In case of loss of goods by the carrier, LRPS shall reimburse all amounts paid by the Purchaser, or replace the lost goods. The Purchaser agrees to make declarations allowing LRPS to take steps with the carrier for compensation of lost property, such as declarations of non-receipt or ownership transfer to LRPS.

It can be, among others, a strike, a fire, a disruption of business, power supply, network (telecom), connection or communication system, the unavailability of the Site at any time, or the late delivery or non-delivery by subcontractors(suppliers or other third parties) of LRPS.

– to use his personal data for generating statistics and use such statistics for managing the Site,
– To disclose his personal data to companies with which LRPS (or its suppliers) collaborate, provided that such disclosure is necessary to process Purchaser’s order (for example a disclosure to a carrier mandated by LRPS or to a company in charge of securely recovering payments for LRPS).
These general conditions of sale are subject to Belgian law.
Only the French version of these general conditions of sale will be valid, despite the existence of translations into other languages provided on the Site.
In case of difficulties in implementing this contract, the Purchaser has the option, before any legal action, to seek an amicable solution notably with the help of a professional association of the sector, a consumer association or any other counsel chosen by him. Claims or contestations will always be considered with attentive benevolence, good faith being always presumed for the individual who makes efforts to explain his situation. In case of dispute, the Purchaser shall first contact LRPS for seeking an amicable solution.
