Article 7: Right of renunciation
In accordance with the law, the consumer has the right to notify the seller that he renounces his purchase, without penalty and without giving any reason, within 14 calendar days from the day following the delivery of the product. This right of renunciation does not apply to professional buyers.
Within this period, the consumer must first notify his intention to withdraw by e-mail and then return, at his own expense and risk, the delivered product to the seller’s administrative headquarters at Greenside SA, Tienne du Chenois 18, 1325 Dion Valmont.
Products must be returned in their original, undamaged packaging, with all accessories, the user manual and the original invoice/delivery note.

In the event of absence at the time of delivery to the address communicated by the purchaser, another delivery will be made the following day.

In the latter case, the seller will retain an amount equivalent to 30% of the sale price as compensation.
The order is delivered to the customer or executed only after full payment has been received. Ownership and risk are transferred when the order is paid for in full. The customer is therefore advised that he alone bears the risks associated with delivery.

After this period, no further claims for apparent defects will be taken into consideration.
In the case of sales to professionals, transport is at the buyer’s risk.
The delivery times communicated by the seller are strictly indicative.
In all cases, the following circumstances release the seller from his obligations with regard to lead times:
1 – Cases of force majeure (including, in particular, stock shortages, strikes, technical incidents, supplier delays and labour shortages);
2 – If the terms of payment are not respected;

Article 10: Warranty
The seller guarantees the products it sells to consumers in accordance with the law of September 1, 2004 on consumer protection in the event of the sale of consumer goods (articles 1649 bis to 1649 octies of the French Civil Code).
Consumers who discover the non-conformity of a product sold within 2 years of delivery of the goods must notify the seller within 2 months of the discovery by registered letter or e-mail.
This warranty covers only defects in conformity existing at the time of delivery of the goods. Defects or damage due to misuse, such as incorrect adjustment, use of non-compliant gas, failure to follow instructions for use and installation, water damage, freezing, oxidation, dropping or impact, negligence and wear, failure to comply with reference standards, are not covered by the warranty. Similarly, repairs carried out by technicians not approved by the supplier will invalidate the warranty.

The professional buyer benefits from the manufacturer’s warranty.

These online sales conditions and the sales contract are governed by Belgian law.
Article 17: Severability clause
If one or more articles of these general terms and conditions of sale should be invalidated for any reason whatsoever, such circumstance shall not render this contract null and void as a whole, nor prevent the performance of the remaining provisions.
In the event that the offending provision affects the very nature of these general terms and conditions, each party will endeavor to negotiate immediately and in good faith a valid provision of equivalent economic effect or, at the very least, as close as possible to the effect of the invalidated provision.
