Purchase and payment
WE DON'T DO BULK SALE
The agreement between the Avenue webshop/Lockwood BVBA and the buyer is realised as soon as the buyer has accepted the conditions made by Lockwood BVBA and agreed with them. The lack of a traditional signature does not affect the obligatory character of the offer and its acceptation.
Lockwood BVBA has the right to refuse an order to subject it to extra conditions, for instance for huge orders, orders placed by minors, when the order procedures have not been completely executed or when previous orders have caused problems.
Lockwood BVBA will always confirm the order by email. As long as a confirmation email has not been received by the customer, the order is not valid.
Payment of products bought at Lockwood can exclusively be made by available methods of payment.
The seller remains the owner of the goods until payment has been completed.
To guarantee safe online payment and the safety of your personal data, transactions are sent over the Internet locked and secured by SSL technology. To execute payment through SSL, no extra software is needed.
When payment is not made in due time, Lockwood BVBA has got the authority to cancel the agreement immediately or to delay (further) delivery of the goods till full payment has been made.
The General conditions and the confirmation mails are always stated in the language of the website.

Time for reflection and returns (Law on buying by mail order)
The Belgian Bill of Law on Commercial Practice, the Information and Protection of the Customer of April 12 2010, states that the purchaser has a time for reflection of 14 calendar days for all products bought from Avenue. This period starts as soon as you or someone assigned by you has received the goods. During this period we expect you to handle the goods and the package material carefully. The right to cancel the purchase is not possible when the product and the package material are no longer original, undamaged and unused.
When you want to cancel the purchase, you must inform us by phone or by letter within 14 calendar days following the day of delivery of the goods. Cancelling the purchase is not subject to any fines and a reason must not be given.
The goods must be returned undamaged, unused and unopened (in their original packaging) at the very latest 14 days after delivery. The shipping date is the control date. All documentation, certificates of guarantee and packing materials must be added to the return shipment, as well as the number of your bank account. The purchaser pays the shipping costs of the returned goods. Understamped or unstamped shipments are always refused and will be sent back to the purchaser.
Lockwood BVBA returns the complete amount of the purchase, including shipping costs, within 30 days after the goods have been returned. If goods have not been returned in accordance with the conditions of the right to cancel, the amount of the purchase including the shipping costs, will not or not completely be returned. The product , in this case, remains your property. On your demand the goods can be sent back to you on the condition of payment of the shipping costs.

Faults/defects
The customer is obliged to control the goods thoroughly immediately after receiving them. He has to control whether the goods are conform to the agreement:
Have the correct goods been delivered?
Do the delivered goods comply with the agreed quality specifications, or –if no specifications were made – to the standards that can be expected for normal use of the goods?
When a clear, manifest fault is found it must be reported to Avenue within 7 working days after delivery.
Circumstances beyond our control
These are all external causes, anticipated or not, and on which Avenue cannot exert any influence, yet which make it impossible for Avenue to meet its commitments.
Avenue has the right to appeal to ‘Circumstances beyond our control’ if the circumstances that make it impossible to meet its commitments occur after Avenue should have met its commitments.
In such a situation delivery and other obligations of Avenue are cancelled. If this period is longer than 8 weeks, both parties can undo the agreement, without any obligation of compensation.
Prices
Before settling the bill you are notified of the price of the goods. All prices are in euro and include VAT. Shipment costs are mentioned separately.

If a price is risen after the agreement was made, the customer can cancel the agreement, independently from the percentage of the raise.
A personal offer has a validity of 2 weeks, unless another period has been stated on the offer
