ARTICLE 2 : OFFERS - ORDERS - FORMATION OF THE CONTRACT

Any order for a product implies the unconditional acceptance and full observance by the client of these general terms and conditions of sale. The latter prevail over any other document issued by the client, including general terms and conditions, and apply to all sales of products by Collin Lucy. A deviating agreement is valid only if concluded in writing between the parties and prior to the order.

These GTC define the respective obligations of the parties in the sale of products (including distance sales) by Collin Lucy. Collin Lucy is free to make amendments or additions to the GTC at any time, which shall be immediately applicable. The customer shall ensure that he or she is familiar with the latest version of the GTC, which is available on Collin Lucy's website: www.collin-lucy.fr or.be. By entering into a contract with Collin Lucy, the client acknowledges that he has read and understood the General Terms and Conditions of Business and undertakes to comply with them in full by confirming his order and/or payment.

Any order signed by the client is irrevocably binding. A written confirmation from Collin Lucy is indispensable for the acceptance of the order within sixty (60) days. The order message must accurately indicate the article ordered, the reference number, the quantity desired, as well as the client's name, first name, telephone number and e-mail or fax number. Collin Lucy cannot be held responsible for any error by the customer in the information provided, nor for any error or lack of order resulting from it.

The customer declares that he/she is of age and has the legal capacity to place an order with Collin Lucy and accept the T&Cs.

The customer is solely responsible for the quantity of products ordered and the content of the order.
If the customer withdraws the order, a cancellation fee of 30% of the order amount will be payable to us. The use of a credit institution does not appear as a condition of sale, but simply as a payment model.
We reserve the right to interrupt deliveries and/or work and/or cancel orders in progress without the client being able to claim compensation or the right to cancel in case of exceeding the credit line we have granted and/or if the client's accounting situation involves financial risks, and/or if the order form is incomplete, and/or if the information communicated is manifestly incorrect, and/or in case of non-payment of previous orders, and/or in case of orders for an abnormally high number of items, without Collin Lucy being liable. Collin Lucy may exercise this right on a case-by-case basis. Any request to amend an order regarding its volume and nature must be accepted by Collin Lucy in writing.

Collin Lucy cannot under any circumstances be held liable for a lack of available stock. Orders are accepted by Collin Lucy subject to availability or cancellation for any of the reasons mentioned in this article.

If an item is unavailable, the customer will be notified by Collin Lucy and the customer may cancel the order for the unavailable product.

ARTICLE 3 : CHARACTERISTICS OF THE EQUIPMENT

The customer is deemed to be aware of the characteristics and conditions of use of the equipment he orders. Our drawings, images and descriptions represent our equipment in broad outline, purely as an indication and without commitment on our part. We expressly reserve the right to modify the characteristics and non-essential elements of our equipment at any time and without prior notice for the purpose of improvement or modernisation.

ARTICLE 4 : PLANS AND PROJECTS

The projects, studies, estimates and plans we entrust to our customers remain our property. They are the result of our work and experience and are therefore not provided to clients free of charge, unless otherwise stipulated. They should be considered confidential and may not be copied, transferred or used by the client without our written consent. They must be returned to us upon request, subject to compensation.

ARTICLE 5 : DELIVERY TIMES

ARTICLE 6 : PRICES

ARTICLE 7 : CONNECTIONS

The connection of equipment to fluids (water, gas, electricity, steam) and to landfills is always excluded from our services, unless we stipulate otherwise in writing on a case-by-case basis. The customer is therefore solely responsible for the incorrect installation of the ordered product and its consequences.

ARTICLE 8 : DELIVERY

Transport of the material by our own carrier or carriers paid by us shall be at the risk of the recipient. A fortiori, we decline any responsibility when the goods are collected by the customer or through his carrier.

ARTICLE 9 : RECEIPT - CLAIMS

The customer must check the delivered products for quantity, quality and invoiced price. Any complaints must be made upon receipt. With regard to quality, the products are always deemed approved after a period of seven (7) clear days, with the date of our dispatch as proof. After this period, there is no possibility of exchange. Any delivery of a product not corresponding to the order shall give rise to an exchange within the limits of available stocks, both at Collin Lucy and at the third-party supplier. The client shall provide the exact product number.

In case of transport damage, the usual remarks with a precise description of the damage must be mentioned on the official transport document. Only written complaints are admissible and can be investigated. The submission of a complaint does not under any circumstances entitle the customer to defer payment for the remaining deliveries.

Collin Lucy reserves the right to refuse to refund returned products if it appears that they have been damaged by the customer. The customer may be held liable for any depreciation of the product other than that required to establish its nature and characteristics. The fact that the product or its packaging has been modified shall always be considered as a depreciation other than that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics or proper use of the product.

Collin Lucy may under no circumstances be held liable if the customer places an incorrect order or if the order does not correspond to the customer's actual needs.

Any complaint concerning a product must be addressed in writing to Collin Lucy at the address mentioned in article 1 of these GTC within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of the product. After this period, Collin Lucy cannot take the complaint into account.

ARTICLE 10 : RETURN OF GOODS

The return of regularly ordered goods is not permitted. In the event that a return is accepted by us, the goods must be returned to us free of all expenses, in new condition and in the original packaging; in addition, the customer is obliged to reimburse us for expenses already incurred in the amount of 20% of the net value of the returned goods. The customer remains responsible for any damage or deterioration of the returned goods until they are received and approved by us. All costs related to any restoration to new condition shall be borne by him. A credit note or credit note valid for the purchase of other goods will be issued for each refund.

ARTICLE 11 : PAYMENT

ARTICLE 12 : RETENTION OF TITLE CLAUSE

Collin Lucy retains full ownership of the goods until they are paid for in full, as well as accessories. The risks are borne by the client from the signing of the delivery note. The customer must therefore take care of the goods and take out the necessary insurance. Any advances may be retained to cover any losses on resale. The material we agree to deliver "on sight", with a pro-forma invoice, to allow the customer to test it or show it to a potential user, remains our absolute property until full payment of the final invoice.

ARTICLE 13 : CLAUSE ON ASSIGNMENT OF CLAIMS

In case of resale of the goods, even if processed, belonging to the seller, the client hereby assigns to Collin Lucy all claims arising from the resale.

ARTICLE 14 : WARRANTY

Unless otherwise stated, we grant a warranty of twelve (12) months from delivery on all products for which we have general representation. The other products delivered by us remain under the guarantee of the producing factory or its importer in Belgium. The warranty covers only the replacement of parts considered defective, excluding all labour costs and any shipping or travel expenses. Under no circumstances can we be held liable, it is up to the dealer/installer or customer/user to take out adequate insurance. The warranty does not cover defects caused by improper use, installation or connection. Also excluded from the warranty are burns or damage to the windings of motors operated without adequate protection by circuit breakers or switches with perfectly adjusted thermal relays. We undertake to repair or replace, within a priority period, any part of the equipment supplied that is defective due to material, manufacturing or construction faults if the installation was carried out by us. In this case, the customer undertakes to have us carry out the necessary adjustments and replacements. Claims for compensation or price reduction, as well as claims for rescission of the purchase, are not admissible unless we have been given the opportunity to do so within a reasonable period of time. If third parties carry out repair or modification work on the equipment during the warranty period, the warranty shall automatically lapse (in case of installation by us). The same applies if the equipment is damaged by third parties. Any delay in payment deprives the customer of the right to warranty.

In the case of a purchase by a consumer within the meaning of the Economic Law Code, the legal guarantee for conformity defects for the products is two (2) years from delivery of the product. To make use of this guarantee, the consumer must, under penalty of exclusion, notify Collin Lucy of the non-conformity within two months of the day on which the customer disputed the defect. The customer is exempt from proving the existence of the product's lack of conformity if it occurs within six (6) months of the delivery of the goods.
It is the customer's responsibility to keep the purchase invoice, as it alone constitutes proof of the purchase date of the product covered by the warranty.
Any intervention by the customer (including repairs) on the product is not covered by the warranty. Likewise, any misplacement or misadjustment by the customer is never considered a failure to conform and is therefore not covered by the legal warranty. Collin Lucy reserves the right to check whether the installation has been carried out according to the rules prescribed by the manufacturer.

In the event of non-execution, Collin Lucy shall not be liable if the non-execution of the sales contract or its poor execution is due to the client, to an act of a third party not involved in the service, or to force majeure.

The parties undertake to comply with the legal provisions in force during the term of the contract.

Defects resulting from: lack of care and maintenance by the customer, incorrect installation of the product by the customer, damage or accidents caused by the customer or a third party are excluded from the warranty.

The warranty does not apply to defects resulting from normal wear and tear of the goods, transport and storage. In addition, the warranty does not apply if the buyer or one of his customers has made changes or additions to the goods without the express consent of our company. Our warranty does not cover indirect damage, whether foreseeable or not. The customer is not entitled to compensation or reimbursement of the cost of transporting the goods, labour and travel expenses or compensation, even in the event of damage to persons or goods. The replacement of these parts is a lump-sum payment to the dealer.

Our warranty also does not cover losses and damages directly or indirectly related to the goods displayed or stored that would become inedible, nor the consequences of their consumption.
