Order
The user has the opportunity of placing an order via le site www.cartronics.be by completing the on-line order form following the allocation of a customer number that will be issued by the Customer Relations Department after the first order.
The order transmitted through the site is not binding on Cartronics until it has issued express written confirmation (despatch email).

Any order amendments shall only take effect after written approval of Cartronics through a mail confirming despatch. They may only be accepted to the extent that the supply of the equipment and/or services has not commenced, wholly or in part. Where applicable they may give rise to an increase in the prices charged.
No cancellation of a confirmed order, wholly or in part, can be accepted without the express written agreement of Cartronics. In this event, Cartronics will invoice 30% of the amount of the cancelled order with a minimum of €100 as recompense for the loss and expenses occasioned by the cancellation, without prejudice to the right of Cartronics to claim higher damages through the courts.
Cartronics reserves the right to refuse an order if the price and/or the specifications of product mentioned on the web site are incorrect due to technical failure or human error.
Prices and payment conditions
The prices listed on the web site include VAT. Current prices are valid the day of the order through the site.

In the event of non-payment at the due date, the amount will be increased as of right and without notice by interest of 12% per annum and by compensation of 15% with a minimum of €100, representing an irreducible fixed penalty clause, without prejudice to any other damages and interest that might be due.
Retention of rights
The equipment supplied remains the exclusive property of Cartronics until payment and any costs and interest have been received in full.

Pursuant to article 78 of the law of 14 July 1991 on commercial practices, the customer has a period of fourteen working days from the delivery of the order to return the products to Cartronics for exchange or refund, without penalty apart from the costs of return.
The customer must notify its intention of renunciation by email, indicating the reasons.
If the customer makes use of this option, it must return the product supplied to the registered offices of Cartronics at its own costs and risks. It is essential that the products be accompanied by the invoice and the original delivery note. The products so returned must not have been unpackaged, unsealed or used in any manner whatsoever. They must accordingly be returned in their unopened original packaging as originally sealed. Any opening of the originally sealed packaging will give rise to the presumption that the product has been used. In the event of improper returns, Cartronics reserves the right to refuse a subsequent order, without prejudice to any damages and interests that Cartronics retains the right to claim. The customer can send a request for retraction using the “Contact us” form.
