D. BOING is not responsible for any customs fees or taxes that may be applied after shipment.

3. Payment

In this case, the customer cannot claim damages or agreed performance deadlines.

If the customer refuses the order, destroys the agreement or it cannot be executed, the customer must pay compensation of 50% of the total amount of the order.

If BOING fails to fulfill the contract, the customer is entitled to compensation similar to that which BOING may demand from him if it fails to fulfill the contract.

1. General

1.1. Retention of title

A. Ownership of items delivered to the customer by BOING even before receipt of payment shall not be transferred to the customer until the customer has paid BOING all that it owes BOING under the agreement, such as payment of the full price, any late payment interest still due or also all additional costs. The paid advances remain acquired by BOING as compensation for the possible losses on resale. However, the risk in respect of the items already delivered already passes to the customer at the time of delivery, even in the event of change or incorporation into other goods.

B. Het is de klant verboden de verkochte goederen te verkopen, te verpanden aan een derde of erover op enige wijze te beschikken, zolang de verkoopprijs niet volledig is betaald. In geval van niet-naleving van dit verbod door de klant zal een forfaitaire schadevergoeding van 50 % van de verkoopprijs verschuldigd zijn. Worden de goederen toch aan een derde verkocht, dan komt het recht op de daaruit resulterende verkoopprijs in de plaats van de verkochte goederen. In toepassing van bovenstaande bepalingen heeft BOING het recht om onmiddellijk de verkochte goederen met hun toebehoren terug te nemen waar ze zich bevinden, waarbij alle kosten van weghaling, waaronder demontage, vervoer, … laste van de klant vallen. De klant is verplicht aan BOING mee te delen waar de verkochte goederen zich bevinden en alle medewerking te verlenen voor de weghaling. Als dit weghalen door welke oorzaak ook zou worden verhinderd door toedoen van de klant, zijn aangestelden of zijn schuldeisers, is de klant van rechtswege aan BOING een schadevergoeding verschuldigd ten belope van € 250 per dag tot op de dag dat de goederen in het bezit van BOING worden gesteld. Dit alles onverminderd het voorrecht van BOING waarop deze naar zijn vrije keuze beroep zal kunnen doen.

C. BOING is entitled, if the customer is in default with the fulfilment of the payment obligation or has payment difficulties, or if, in the opinion of BOING, the payment of the outstanding invoices is uncertain, to repossess the goods delivered under retention of title that are still in the possession of the customer. Where appropriate, the customer is obliged to immediately notify the attaching bailiff and the trustee in bankruptcy of BOING's retention of title to the delivered goods.

D. By accepting these General Terms and Conditions of Delivery, the customer already now irrevocably authorizes BOING to enter the sites and buildings of the customer in order to be able to take back the delivered goods, without prejudice to BOING's right to compensation for the damage suffered by BOING.

1.2. Delivery

A. The delivery period shall always be determined by mutual agreement. Insofar as the offer provides a delivery period, this period is purely indicative and without any commitment.

B. Mention of delivery dates on the website, offers, confirmations and/or agreements are indicative and not binding, but will be observed as much as possible.

C. If the product ordered by the customer is not in stock, nor will it become available in the short term, BOING shall notify the customer. If possible, BOING shall provide the customer with an alternative item of at least equal price and quality.

D. The complete order will not be shipped until all products are ready to ship. An exception to this may be made at the express request of the customer.

E. The delivery period shall commence upon receipt by BOING of all required information regarding the execution of the order and upon payment of the advance payment. If an order and/or the execution of an order is changed at the request of the customer, the initially agreed delivery period shall only commence upon the approval of the changes made.

F. If changes are made to the delivery date and/or place and/or circumstances at the request of the customer, or if the customer has provided incorrect information to BOING, BOING shall acquire the right to charge the customer for the additional costs incurred. If the VAT changes before the delivery date, the total price shall be adjusted accordingly

G. The delivery period shall be suspended in the event of force majeure, strike, lockout, operating difficulties, etc. independent of BOING's will, both in its own workshops and those of suppliers. This shall also apply in the event of failure of transport companies, pandemic, epidemic, mobilization, war, requisitions, riots and similar events. This shall also apply if such circumstances hamper production and delivery capabilities at home and abroad. These enumerations are exemplary only.

1.3. Shipping and delivery

A. The customer must check their address details in the confirmation email for accuracy. The customer is required to notify BOING of any inaccuracies no later than 3 business days prior to the agreed delivery date. Any costs resulting from incorrect address details on the delivery note will be charged to the customer.

B. Deliveries are provided by an outside carrier who brings the goods to the threshold of the address.

C. Upon delivery by parcel service, the customer signs the parcel service's waybill before receiving his order.

D. From the moment of delivery or collection of the goods, the customer shall bear all risks related to the goods sold.

E. If the customer refuses to take immediate possession of the correct and undamaged goods offered to him, any resulting freight costs, expenses of storage, etc. shall be borne by the customer.

F. The goods are deemed to be accepted by the customer on the day of delivery, except in the event of a clearly defined and detailed complaint that must be disclosed to BOING by registered letter within 14 working days at BOING 's registered office address. The customer cannot invoke a complaint to suspend or postpone the payment of invoices or sales receipts.

G. Minor deviations in quality, quantity, width, colors, size, finish, etc. that are deemed acceptable in the trade or that are technically unavoidable cannot constitute grounds for complaints, nor can color deviations from materials and photographs on the website. If the customer himself assembles goods delivered by BOING, the customer must ascertain the good condition thereof prior to assembly. After assembly by the customer, any claims for FISHible deviations shall lapse.

H. Warranty proFISHions are valid only when the items delivered or work performed are used in accordance with their intended purpose. Injudicious use or insufficient care of the delivered goods excludes any complaint and invalidates guarantees and other warranties. Neither a customer can derive the right to replacement, repair or compensation from a discoloration of plastic, textile or fiber materials which cannot be prevented from a technical point of view or which is generally accepted according to commercial practice, nor from minor deviations of another nature.

1.4. Guarantees

A. BOING guarantees that the items delivered by BOING meet the requirements of usability, reliability and lifespan as may reasonably be expected by the parties to the agreement.

If the customer wishes to claim the warranty, this should preferably be reported to BOING in writing. The order form and photographs should be attached to this. The warranty only applies to normal use. The warranty only covers manufacturing defects. The warranty is degressive, and only the first 2 years are eligible for a full warranty on manufacturing defects.

C. There is no warranty in the following circumstances:

• Regarding normal wear and tear;
• If proof of purchase cannot be presented;
• In case of improper use;
• For damage caused by intentional or gross negligence;
• In case of external calamity (e.g.: lightning strike, power failure, natural disasters, etc.);

D. De klant is verplicht met bekwame spoed na levering van de bestelde artikelen te onderzoeken of BOING de overeenkomst deugdelijk is nagekomen en is voorts gehouden BOING terstond, doch uiterlijk binnen de 14 werkdagen na levering, schriftelijk in kennis te stellen van de eventuele geconstateerde gebreken. Bent u consument, dan dient u BOING schriftelijk in kennis te stellen van de non-conformiteit van het geleverde goed binnen de 2 jaar na de levering van het goed. Indien dit niet gebeurt, wordt BOING geacht aan haar verplichtingen uit hoofde van de overeenkomst te hebben voldaan.
