The delivery terms specified are not binding. They correspond to the usual average terms for processing and shipment and shall not exceed thirty days.
However, in the event that for any reason the Provider cannot honour the maximum term of thirty days, the User can instruct the Provider, by registered letter with a request for acknowledgement of receipt or by writing on another durable medium, to perform the delivery within a reasonable additional period.

Reimbursement shall be made via the same means of payment used by the User for the initial transaction.
The User may be held liable when there is depreciation to the Article other than that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics or the proper use of the Article. It is expressly agreed between the contracting Parties that the fact of having changed the Article or having inflated the ball, or the fact of having tested more than one ball in the case of a multiple purchase, shall always be regarded as a depreciation other than that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics or the proper use of the Article. In this case, the Provider is authorized to deduct fair compensation from the amount returnable.

The User is informed that the responsibility of the Provider, regardless of the nature of the injury, will, in any event, be limited to the amount of the order, excluding delivery charges and VAT.

The User is hereby informed that the Articles are compliant with current Belgian legislation. The Provider shall not be held liable in the event of non-fulfilment of the regulations in the country where the products are delivered.
