The final moment of delivery will not, however, exceed the stated delivery period by more than 14 days excepting where indicated as such on the invoice or in situations of force majeure. If this period is exceeded, the consumer must notify the seller of default in writing. The consumer is entitled to cancel the purchase.
4.8. Exceeding of the delivery period does not under any circumstances justify refusal of receipt or payment for the products.

Wherever the consumer is in default of payment of the debt to the seller, of any nature whatsoever, the seller is entitled to suspend the performance of that or any new order until payment has been made, as well as to refuse to make any further deliveries and or to change the terms and conditions.

5.1. The seller remains owner of the ordered product(s) until the moment that the agreed price is paid in full.
5.2. For the purposes of our retention of title, all our deliveries falling under one order are considered a single order. As such the ownership of all products remains with us up until the moment at which the consumer pays in full for all delivered products.

Article 6. Reconsideration period/Right of withdrawal
6.1. The consumer is entitled to return the ordered product(s) for any reason and dissolve the underlying contract with the seller within 7 (seven) days of receipt of the ordered product(s).
6.2. If the consumer wishes to dissolve the contract in accordance with article 6.1 of these terms and conditions, the consumer must notify the seller thereof in writing. In consultation with the seller, the consumer must send the product to the return address in its original, undamaged packaging. Returns of opened packaging will not be accepted; opening the packaging will signify that the consumer wishes to retain the ordered product(s). The consumer bears the cost and risks of the return shipping.
6.3. If the consumer has already made any payment at the moment that the consumer has withdrawn from the contract with the seller pursuant to articles 6.1 and 6.2 of these general terms and conditions, the seller will refund these payments to the consumer within 14 (fourteen) business days after the seller has received the returned product(s). The shipping costs that the seller has incurred to ship the article to the consumer will be deducted from the refund. This means that the consumer receives a refund of the payment made minus the shipping costs. The seller reserves the right to refuse the returned products or to only credit a portion of the amount already paid in the event of the suspicion that the product has already been opened, used or damaged due to the fault of the consumer (not being that of the seller or the vendor of the product).
6.4. If a product returned has, in the opinion of the seller, been damaged due to an action or omission of the consumer, or an action or omission otherwise within the consumer’s realm of risk, the seller will notify the consumer thereof in writing (by letter or e-mail). The seller is entitled to withhold the value reduction of the product resulting from this damage from the refund to the consumer.

Article 7. Privacy
7.1. The seller will process the consumer’s personal data and enter that data into one or more data files. These data files will only be available for the use of the seller.

The seller will adhere to applicable privacy laws and will not provide the consumer’s information to third parties.
