These General Terms and Conditions of Sale are the exclusive property of the Seller. Any copy, even partial, is strictly prohibited.

ARTICLE 2: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The product range is intended for normal, non-commercial use by a consumer. Art. 1649bis of the Belgian Civil Code defines ‘consumer’ as follows: “any natural person who, solely for non-professional purposes, acquires or uses products placed on the market”.

The offer is valid while stocks last and can be changed by the Seller at any time. The offer is always compiled with the greatest care. However, it is possible that the information is not complete, incorrect or out of date. To avoid misunderstandings, please contact customer service in advance.

Any rate change will be immediately applied to the prices of the proposed products.

The prices are shown without costs for transport, delivery, service or other administrative, mandatory costs that are further specified on the Website during the ordering process. The Seller reserves the right to change the prices at any time, on the understanding that the prices displayed on the Website on the day of the order apply to the Customer without exception.

The prices indicated also include the processing fee for the order.

The selling price is due on confirmation of the order.

ARTICLE 3.2 - PAYMENT

Method of payment

The order can be paid for using the following: Bancontact, Maestro, Visa, Mastercard, iDeal;

If the Customer pays for his order with the credit card, he must enter the number, the expiry date, CVC code (3 digits on the back of the card) and the name of the card holder during the ordering process. The Customer must use the same name shown on the bank card.

The Customer will be immediately notified whether his online payment has been accepted/refused.

The Seller remains the owner of the sold products until the amount due has actually been paid in full by the Customer. If payment is not made within the stipulated payment deadline, the Seller can reclaim the products.


Payment security

When payment is made via the Website, the bank transaction is secured and the Seller does not store the Customer’s bank details under any circumstances. To guarantee the security of online payments, the Customer’s transaction data is encrypted via a secure server (SSL).

  • validate the shopping cart by clicking the ‘Confirm’ button;
  • select the payment method;

It is the Customer’s responsibility to verify the correctness of the information provided for which he is solely responsible, and to update his data in the case of change.

The Seller will, without being bound to a specified period, send the Customer an order confirmation by email containing all the information provided by the Customer.

The entirety of the registered data provided and the confirmation are sufficient proof of the transaction.

The Seller shall archive orders and confirmations of orders on a reliable and durable medium in order to keep a reliable copy, in accordance with the provisions of Article 46, Book VI of the Belgian Code of Economic Law. The Seller’s digital registers are considered by both Parties as evidence of communication, orders, payments and transactions between the Parties.

It is the Customer’s responsibility to keep track of the order number assigned to it by the Seller, which number can be requested in the case of complaints.

It is specified that the Seller reserves the right to change an order of an abnormal nature, in particular when the quantities ordered are not justifiable. The Customer acknowledges and accepts that he may not purchase more than 1000 products at the same time via the Website. 

 

ARTICLE 5: DELIVERY

ARTICLE 5.1 - Delivery methods

The online sale of the products presented on the Website is reserved for Customers residing in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Luxembourg, Spain, Germany and Italy.

Deliveries will be made to the address provided by the Customer during registration as soon as payment has been completed.

Delivery will be made to your home by GLS.

ARTICLE 5.2 - Delivery times

The maximum delivery time of a product from the moment of ordering is communicated before the order is confirmed by the Customer. When multiple products are ordered at the same time, the delivery time for the entire order is the longest delivery time indicated for one of the products.

Under no circumstances may the delivery time exceed thirty (30) days.

If the Seller fails to fulfil this obligation, the Customer may terminate the contract by means of a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or in writing via another medium, if the Customer has similarly requested the Seller to deliver within an additional, reasonable period of time and if the Seller fails to do so.

The contract is considered terminated when the Seller receives the letter or correspondence from the Customer regarding termination of the contract, unless the Seller has already done so in the meantime.

However, the Customer may terminate the contract with immediate effect if the date or the foreseen delivery time represents an essential condition of the contract for the Customer. This essential condition arises from circumstances in which the contract was concluded or from a written express request from the Customer before the contract was concluded.

The Seller will refund the total amounts already paid according to the payment method of its choice within a maximum period of fourteen (14) days from the date on which the contract is terminated. The sum paid to the Customer by the Seller is automatically increased by 10% if the refund is made later than thirty (30) days, by 20% in the case of sixty (60) days, and by 50% if longer.

The Customer nevertheless has the right to choose another method of reimbursement.

The Seller will inform the Customer by email when his order is dispatched. A track & trace link can be found in this email.

ARTICLE 5.3 - Delivery costs

Delivery costs are € 4,95 for Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Luxembourg, Spain, Germany and Italy if the order amount is less than € 25. Orders valued at more than € 25 are delivered free of charge. This will be stated prior to order confirmation.

ARTICLE 6: UNAVAILABLE PRODUCTS

The Seller will inform the Customer by email if an ordered product is no longer in stock. The Seller will specify the new delivery time if it is longer than twenty-one (21) days from the order date.

When products are unavailable, the Customer has the option to keep or cancel his order within a period of 72 days from the date of receipt of the email. The information about the unavailability of products is in certain cases provided by a third party supplier, as a result of which the unavailability of products is not the responsibility of the Seller and as a result of which the Customer cannot claim damage compensation.

If the Customer does not respond within the stipulated period, the order is retained. If the order is cancelled, the amount will be refunded to the Customer.

ARTICLE 7: LIABILITY

The Seller may exempt itself from liability in whole or in part if it can prove that the non-performance or poor performance of the contract is attributable to either the Customer or, through unforeseen and insurmountable events, a third party involved in the contract, or due to force majeure as described in Article 1148 of the Belgian Civil Code and Belgian case law.

The Seller is not liable if a disruption takes place during the Customer’s order, caused by the Customer’s internet connection or any other external event.

It is the Customer’s responsibility to see to it that the ordered products meet his needs perfectly.

ARTICLE 8: WARRANTY

All complaints under this article must be directed to the Seller’s customer service department by calling +32 (0)9 277 20 20 or emailing klantendienst@newvalmar.be and stating the order number.

All products supplied by the Seller are covered by the legal warranty as described in Art. 1625 of the Belgian Civil Code .

In addition, for 2 years the Customer enjoys the conformity warranty for products in accordance with Art. 1649bis of the Belgian Civil Code . In the case of non-conformity of a product sold, the Customer can choose between repairing or replacing the product free of charge. However, if the Customer’s choice entails a manifestly unreasonable cost to the Seller, the latter may proceed at its own discretion.

If repair and replacement of the product are impossible, the Customer may return the product and request a refund of the price or keep the product and request a partial refund of the price, or request an exchange of the product, if possible.

The Customer also has this choice if the solution he has requested does not start within one (1) month after his complaint or if this solution cannot be implemented without major hindrance to the Customer, taking into account the nature of the product and its use.

However, the sale cannot be terminated if the conformity error is minor.

In any case, the warranty for non-conformity of the product does not imply any cost to the Customer.

In order to enforce the warranty, the Customer must be able to present proof of purchase. The warranty is not transferable.

The warranty never covers manufacturing defects that are the result of accidents, a deterioration of the product due to negligence, unforeseen and incorrect use of the product, non-compliance with the instructions for use, changes made to the product, excessively heavy use of the product, incorrect assembly, poor maintenance or abnormal, commercial or incorrect use. The warranty also does not apply to items with a shorter lifespan (for example, disposable items or products that have a shorter expiration date) or in the case of intervention by a third party not recommended by the Seller.

Legal action as a result of the conformity error is time-barred after two (2) years from delivery of the product.

In the case of non-conformity of a product sold, this product must be returned to the Seller, who will accept, exchange or refund it.

Replacing a non-conforming product does not extend the warranty period.

ARTICLE 9: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

All elements of the Website, in particular all images, sounds, textual elements, videos, including the underlying technology and the presentation of the products, are the exclusive property of the Seller.

Consequently, the Customer is prohibited from copying, duplicating or distributing one or more elements that make up this Website, even partially. All copies and duplicates of the Website must be expressly approved in advance by the Seller. Failure to comply with this obligation constitutes counterfeiting for which the perpetrator is civilly liable .

The trademarks ‘Nûby’ and ‘Dr. Talbot’s’ are registered. Consequently, the Customer is prohibited from harming the trademarks ‘Nûby’ and ‘Dr. Talbot’s’. Any use or copying of these trademarks by the Customer without the prior consent of the Seller, for whatever reason, and on whatever medium, constitutes counterfeiting and is subject to criminal and civil prosecution.

ARTICLE 10: PERSONAL DATA

Information containing name references referring to the Customer is processed automatically by the Seller.

The Customer is aware that his data are being processed so that the Seller can offer him the various services proposed on the Website.

In accordance with European Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR), the Customer has the right to access, rectify and erase his data and to object to all personal data held about him.
