7. Right to deny or change

1.According the Belgian trade practice law from July 14, 1991, protecting and informing the Consumer Buyer (called W.H.P.C from here), the Consumer Buyer is allowed to ship back the products within seven (7) days of receiving the goods, without any reason or cost to execute this right to deny.  There is no right to deny when the product and package are in the original, complete and undamaged state.  All documents, warranty forms and packing material should be included in the return.  Returning the goods should be done same way as the original shipment.  When executing the right to deny, the Consumer Buyer is obliged to return the goods within seven (7) days after delivery, in same conditions and including the bank account number.  Costs for return are due for the Consumer Buyer.

2.In case the Consumer Buyer is making use of the right to deny, as described in previous article, UR-FLEX will take care to pay back the payment, paid by the Consumer Buyer to UR-FLEX, by wire transfer on the account as received by the Consumer Buyer.

4.According Article 80, §4, 2° W.H.P.C., the Consumer Buyer cannot execute the right to deny for agreements on delivery of products, that are specified and created according specific specification from the Consumer Buyer, that have a clear personal touch or by nature cannot be sent back or age fast.

5.If the returned product, received by UR-FLEX, is not fulfilling the requirements stipulated above, there will not be any refund.   The product remains ownership from the Buyer, who is obliged to take back the goods within two weeks.  On request from the Buyer, the product can be sent back.  Costs are exclusive responsibility for the Buyer.


8. Ownership

1.Despite the effective delivery, the ownership of the product will transfer to the Buyer only when all  the due payments for this product are fulfilled, including payment of interests and costs if applicable.

2.The Buyer cannot tax, sell, transfer, take away or modify the goods before full ownership is established.


9. Warranty and accountability

1.There is a 2 year warranty on the products delivered by UR-FLEX.  In case the delivery is not according the agreement, the Buyer has to notify UR-FLEX within 2 working days after discovery of the anomaly.  Consumer Buyers have the rights as defined in article 1649bis till 1649octies of the Civil Code.

2.If UR-FLEX, for whatever reason, has to cover the damage to a Buyer, not being a Consumer Buyer, the fee will never be higher than an amount equal to the value on the invoice, related to the product or service that caused the damage. 

3.In all cases (for Consumer Buyers and other Buyers) of damage with whatever cause, accountability of UR-FLEX is leveled to the maximum level that will be covered by the insurance company from UR-FLEX.

4.Not limited by the statements in this article, there is no warranty in the following cases :

◦When there is product wear that can be assumed normal

◦If modifications or repairs are done without approval from UR-FLEX

◦When the original invoice is missing, changed or unreadable

◦When damage is the result of misusage or abuse of the product

◦When damage is originated from deliberate, major neglecting or lack of service

5.Buyer, not being a Consumer Buyer should exclude UR-FLEX of any accountability that third parties would like to claim due to any causes, related with execution of agreement with UR-FLEX (e.g. results of damage), as long as the law is not rejecting that any of this damage and costs are accounted by the Buyer.

6.It's possible that UR-FLEX includes some links to third party websites from the UR-FLEX website, just because they might be interesting.  Links like that are only informative. UR-FLEX is not responsible for the content of this website or its usage.

7.When costs are made to find out the root cause of a product defect or part of it, when that product is out of warranty and these costs are excluded from warranty according article 9.3, these costs are on account for the Buyer.  UR-FLEX will always try to notify upfront about these costs.  When the costs have a sense of urgency, it's not possible to expect that UR-FLEX can always make upfront notice.  In no single case can the absence of upfront notification remove the accountability for these costs from the Buyer.

8.When costs are made to repair a product defect or part of it and these costs are excluded from warranty according article 9.3, the Buyer will be notified. When there is no explicit written agreement from the Buyer about the costs of a repair, the Buyer can receive their property with payment of shipment and costs made to investigate the repair.  When the Buyer does not pay these costs within six (6) month after receiving the quote for repair, then should this be assumed as release of all right and claims, including ownership, to UR-FLEX.
