General Terms and Conditions
Updated on 26 March 2024
- Introduction
These general terms and conditions govern all sales and purchase agreements made with Folie à Trois ("we" or "us") by any visitor to this website, hereinafter referred to as the "customer."
1.1 Identity of the Company
Folie à Trois BV Nieuwenbos 75 1702 Groot-Bijgaarden Belgium VAT ID: BE0746619193 Email: contact@foliewholesale.com Co-founders: Beeckman Luna & Quiddoes Shaïna
- 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.
- 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.
- Right of Revocation
4.1 Return & Refund Policy
As a business-to-business (B2B) platform, we do not offer the right of revocation, and therefore, returns of items are not possible. In the event of a product defect, please notify our customer service team via email at contact@foliewholesale.com, providing pictures of the defect. Our team will endeavor to find a suitable solution, which may include issuing a voucher or providing a replacement item. However, please note that once items are resold to third parties, we are unable to intervene or offer further assistance.
- 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.
- Execution / Shipment
6.1 Order Processing
We normally process orders immediately upon payment confirmation. However, for pre-orders, the execution period may vary. Upon confirmation through an advance payment of 40%, items will enter production. The production time will be communicated to the customer. Please note that we are not liable for delays in production due to unforeseen circumstances. Such delays do not constitute grounds for pre-order cancellation or refund.
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.
