Your use of this website and any order you place through this website are subject to these terms of business.
These terms and the order constitute the whole agreement between you and us for the sale of the goods. Any amendments thereto must be confirmed in writing. Please ensure that you are happy with these terms before you submit the order, because you will be bound by the terms once a contract comes into existence between us.
Any photographs, drawings, descriptions or advertising we issue, or illustrations, are offered solely to provide you with an approximate idea of the goods they describe. They do not form part of the contract between you and us for the sale of the goods.
If any of these terms are inconsistent with any term of or instruction in the order, the terms in the order shall prevail.
The order is an offer by you to enter into a binding contract which we may accept or decline at our absolute discretion.
These terms shall become binding on you and us when we issue you with an order confirmation, at which point a contract shall come into existence between us.
We have the right to revise and amend these terms from time to time. You will be subject to the terms in force at the time that you order the goods from us, unless any change to these terms is required by law or government or regulatory authority (in which case, it will apply to orders you have previously placed that we have not yet fulfilled).
These terms do not affect your legal rights. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau.
We endeavour to describe all items as fully as possible, to the best of our knowledge, providing as much history, age and detail as is known to us. However, it should be noted that the items that we are selling are antique or vintage items and, as such, may in some cases have some age-related wear. Items that are manufactured some time ago often have marks, dents, variations of surface texture, re-polished surfaces, minor scratches or losses, sympathetic replacements, retouching, relining, and other issues naturally associated with use and age which form a part of the appearance and nature of a vintage item. We aim to ensure that the condition of any item is as reasonable as possible given its age and nature, and would not offer for sale any item that is not substantially complete or in a minimum acceptable condition for display or use. Substantial damage or extensive restoration or changes or losses to the item beyond this will be stated in our item descriptions. However, small signs of wear are normal and appropriate to the authenticity of vintage goods. By placing an order, you are deemed to acknowledge the vintage nature of the goods we are selling.
We will take all reasonable steps to pack the goods properly and to ensure that you receive your order in good condition.
We shall not be liable for any defect in the goods arising from wear and tear, wilful damage, accident and/or negligence by you or any third party, if you use the goods in a way that we or the manufacturers do not recommend, you fail to follow the manufacturer’s and/or our instructions, or due to any alteration or repair you carry out without our prior written approval.
The goods we sell are authentic, original products which were manufactured before today's stringent health and safety standards. All sales of such goods are for collection purposes only. We do not guarantee or imply any guarantee of compliance with health and safety standards or fitness for any purpose.
In particular, while they may be perfectly safe for use, vintage electrical goods may not meet current standards. We recommend that all electrical goods are inspected, tested, certified and installed by a qualified electrician. We will not be liable for any loss, injury or death caused by electrical goods that have not been inspected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician.
For small items capable of being shipped by courier, unless otherwise stated, we will aim to ship your order within four (4) to six (6) working days of it being placed.
On large items, we are happy to recommend a delivery service for the goods. We will always do our best to get a good deal for our customers and can provide you with a delivery quote upon request. On most deliveries for larger items, we ask that you pay the courier or shippers direct and that you communicate directly with them once the goods have left our premises. Obviously, we will help where we can. You are also more than welcome to arrange a courier yourself or to collect the item from us in person.
All smaller items sent by us via courier companies will be fully insured against loss or damage. This cost is included in the shipping cost. Items picked up by your own delivery companies or sent by third party delivery services recommended by us are not covered by us. They should all have their own insurance but for the avoidance of doubt please confirm this with them. In the unlikely event that your goods arrive damaged, all packaging must be kept in order for us to make a claim for the damage. Also any damage must be notified within 24 hours of receiving delivery so please always unwrap and check your goods as soon as they arrive.
We are happy for you to arrange collection of items personally. Unless we have agreed otherwise, orders not collected within two (2) weeks will incur storage fees at a rate of ten euro (5 euro) per week for small items and fifteen euro (15 euro) a week for large items. The same fees will be applied where third party delivery is delayed, unless there has been prior agreement to the contrary.
In the unlikely event that the goods delivered do not conform to these terms and the order, please let us know as soon as possible after receipt.
Freight items delivered via third party delivery services must be checked thoroughly and approved by you when you take receipt of them and any problems notified to to the driver at the time of delivery.
Subject as set out herein, we may ask you to return the goods to us and once we have checked that the goods are faulty, we may:
provide you with a full or partial refund (including shipping costs); or
replace the goods; or
repair the goods.
These terms will apply to any repaired or replacement goods we supply to you.
We hope that you will be pleased with your purchase, however you may notify us that you wish to cancel your order any time from placing the order until seven (7) working days from the day after delivery in accordance with your cancellation rights under the Distance Selling Regulations.
For the avoidance of doubt, we will not be responsible for your costs in returning unwanted goods.
For the further avoidance of doubt, all returns should be notified to us before sending and unwanted goods must be returned within fourteen (14) days of delivery, unless otherwise agreed with us. Goods must be returned in the same condition they were sent out and arrangements for delivery of returns must be notified to us. We may store items and hold off delivery on a discretionary basis but where we do so, returns will not be accepted after this time. Returns will also not be accepted on items specifically ordered for customers or customised items.
For small items capable of being shipped by courier, the goods will be your responsibility from the time you take delivery of them.
For freight items sent via third party delivery services, the goods will cease to be our responsibility from the time they leave our premises.
Ownership of the goods will only pass to you when we receive payment in full of all sums due for the goods, including delivery charges.
The price of the goods will be as set out on our website at the time we confirm your order. Prices are liable to change at any time, price changes can affect orders that we have confirmed in writing.
We reserve the right to withdraw any products from this website at any time and/or remove or edit any materials or content on this website. We may refuse to process a transaction for any reason or refuse service to anyone at any time at our sole discretion. We will not be liable to you or any third party by reason of our withdrawing any product from this website whether or not that product has been sold, removing or editing any materials or content on the website, refusing to process a transaction or unwinding or suspending any transaction after processing has begun.
For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a pricing error, we are not obliged to provide the goods to you at any incorrect (lower) price.
These prices exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due. For the avoidance of doubt, we will not be liable for any export or import duties, taxes etc. arising as a result of the goods being sent to a destination outside of Belgium.
Payment for all goods must be made in advance by credit or debit card at the time of ordering. We accept payment by Visa, Visa Debit, MasterCard, Maestro, Visa Electron, bank transfer and PayPal.
Subject to clause below, if either of us fails to comply with these terms, neither of us shall be responsible for any losses that the other suffers as a result, except for those losses which are a foreseeable consequence of the failure to comply with these terms.
Neither of us shall be responsible for losses that result from our failure to comply with these terms including, but not limited to, loss of income or revenue, loss of business, loss of anticipated savings, loss of data and/or any waste of time. However, this shall not prevent claims for foreseeable loss of, or damage to, your physical property.
This clause does not include or limit in any way our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
Save as provided in clause above, our liability to you under these terms will not exceed the total value of the order.
We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of any of our obligations under these terms that is caused by events outside our reasonable control. This shall include (without limitation) any act, event, non-occurrence, omission or accident beyond our reasonable control such as strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action, civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war, fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic or other natural disaster, impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport, impossibility of the use of public or private telecommunications networks or failure by our suppliers to supply the goods to us which are required to fulfil your order.
Our obligations under these terms are suspended for the period that any such event continues, and we will have an extension of time to perform these obligations for the duration of that period. We will take reasonable steps to find a solution by which our obligations under these terms can be performed despite the event outside our control. If we have been unable to resolve any such event within three (3) months we shall be entitled to cancel your order without penalty save for refunding to you the purchase price you have paid.
You may not transfer any of your rights or obligations under these terms to another person without our prior written consent, which we will not withhold unreasonably. We can transfer all or any of our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights under these terms.
All notices sent by you to us must be sent to the email addresses as set out on this website. We may give notice to you at either the e-mail or postal address you provide to us in the order. Notice will be deemed received and properly served on you 24 hours after an e-mail is sent or three (3) days after the date of posting of any letter. In proving the service of any notice, it will be sufficient to prove, in the case of a letter, that the letter was properly addressed, stamped and placed in the post and, in the case of an e-mail that the e-mail was sent to the specified e-mail address of the addressee.
If any court or competent authority decides that any of the provisions of these terms and/or the order are invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, that term will, to that extent only, be severed from the remaining terms, which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
If we fail, at any time while these terms are in force, to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these terms, or if we do not exercise any of our rights or remedies under these terms, that will not mean that we have waived such rights or remedies and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, that will not mean that we will automatically waive any subsequent default by you. No waiver by us of any of these terms shall be effective unless we expressly say that it is a waiver and we tell you so in writing.
