2. Orders

2.1 Agreement Conclusion

An agreement is deemed valid when an order is placed and payment is completed, or when an order is communicated via email.

3. Liability

3.1 Product Guarantee

We guarantee that the products we deliver meet the standards of usability, reliability, and lifespan as reasonably intended by both parties under the purchase agreement. This guarantee extends to the manufacturer's warranty for the product.

3.2 Inspection of Delivered Goods

The customer is obligated to inspect the delivered goods immediately upon receipt. Any defects, discrepancies, or incomplete deliveries must be promptly reported in writing to contact@foliewholesale.com within 10 calendar days of receipt. Failure to report within this timeframe will exempt us from liability.

Please note that the original label must remain intact for returns; removal of the label renders the article ineligible for reimbursement.

3.3 Limitations to Liability

Our liability does not apply if:

A) The customer has modified, repaired, or processed the delivered goods themselves or through third parties.

B) The delivered goods have been subjected to abnormal conditions, mishandling, or usage contrary to our provided instructions and/or instructions for use on the packaging.

4. Right of Revocation

4.1 Return & Refund Policy

Customers wishing to initiate a return or request a refund must adhere to our return & exchange policy.

To initiate a return, the customer must notify us via email (contact@foliewholesale.com) within 10 calendar days of receipt. The maximum return period is 14 calendar days. Failure to return the item within 14 calendar days of receipt will result in the shipping label charge, which will be deducted from the refund amount.

Please note that products purchased as B2B partners are generally not eligible for returns.

5. Payment

5.1 Secure Payment

All payments are securely processed through electronic platforms. Payment options include Visa, BanContact/MisterCash, Mollie, or bank transfer. Orders will not be processed until payment is successfully completed.

6. Execution / Shipment

6.1 Order Processing

We normally process orders immediately upon payment confirmation. However, for pre-orders, the execution period may vary. Shipments are dispatched within 1-2 working days via bpost. Any delay in execution does not entitle the customer to compensation.

6.2 Address Verification

Customers are responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of their shipping address. Incorrect or incomplete addresses resulting in order returns will incur a compensation fee of €4.95 (BE), covering the cost of a new shipping label for national orders. This applies both to refunds and reshipments in such cases. Additionally, if a parcel is not collected from the post office and is returned to us, no compensation is available.

6.3 Order Cancellations

We do not provide compensation for canceled items, and we are not responsible for products already sold to your customers, as we do not operate as a dropshipping company.

7. Reselling
