  1. Terms of delivery

5.1 Unless otherwise agreed, deliveries will be made as standard in accordance with the Incoterm® “Delivered At Place” (DAP) (Incoterms ® 2010) at the delivery address specified by the Buyer, or at the registered office of Katholiek Onderwijs Staho VZW, at the Buyer’s discretion. The transfer of risk for damage, destruction and disappearance with regard to the products will therefore be transferred at the time of effective delivery. At this time, Katholiek Onderwijs Staho VZW will also be released from its delivery obligation.

5.2 Any delivery that was not explicitly provided for in the Buyer's order and/or the Order Confirmation from Katholiek Onderwijs Staho VZW is deemed to be an additional delivery at the request of the Buyer and will be charged as such.
5.3 Except with regard to agreements with a Consumer, Katholiek Onderwijs Staho VZW always reserves the right to split deliveries or to attach other conditions to the delivery.
5.4 Except in the case of payment by cash on delivery and payment by bank transfer after receipt of the invoice, an order will only be shipped after Katholiek Onderwijs Staho VZW has received the payment. Katholiek Onderwijs Staho VZW strives to always deliver orders on the next fixed delivery day indicated for the region in which the delivery address provided by the Buyer is located.
Collection within the aforementioned time period also applies on condition that the ordered products are in stock. The Buyer must indicate during the online ordering process which method of delivery he opts for.
5.5 The delivery period, including that on the quotations, orders and Order Confirmations, is always indicative and is not an essential component of the obligations of Katholiek Onderwijs Staho VZW towards the Buyer. Exceeding the communicated delivery period can never give rise to payment of any compensation or to the dissolution of the purchase between Katholiek Onderwijs Staho VZW and the Buyer, with the understanding that Katholiek Onderwijs Staho VZW undertakes to deliver – except for advance sales – in any case within 30 days after payment. Katholiek Onderwijs Staho VZW can in any case never be held liable for delays caused by the Buyer or third parties. Changes to the order automatically result in
the estimated delivery times stated will lapse.
5.6 If the Buyer is absent upon delivery at the delivery address indicated by him, the transport service will leave a message with a view to contacting Katholiek Onderwijs Staho VZW and the Buyer. After the first attempted delivery or if the Buyer is absent upon the first attempted delivery, the products will be returned to the registered office of Katholiek Onderwijs Staho. The costs of the return, as well as the associated costs (such as, but not limited to, taxes, VAT,
storage costs, etc.) are for the account of the Buyer. In such case, the agreement between Katholiek Onderwijs Staho VZW and the Buyer will be deemed to have been dissolved. Any price already paid by the Buyer will be refunded by Katholiek Onderwijs Staho, minus the aforementioned cost and
return and any associated costs

  1. Admission requirements

User will be granted access to and may use these services when they meet the admission requirements for the relevant services, systems, applications and/or data. De Schoolvrienden may at any time independently and at its discretion check and decide whether a User meets these admission requirements, and suspend or discontinue the products or services provided by De Schoolvrienden in whole or in part if this is no longer the case, without the User being able to claim any form of (damage) compensation or reimbursement from De Schoolvrienden.

  1. Nature of the obligations

The nature of the obligations relating to the services provided by De Schoolvrienden to the User, unless expressly agreed otherwise, concern obligations of means. When providing the services, De Schoolvrienden will always apply the current professional standards, taking into account the state of the art. To the extent that a separate written agreement has been concluded between the parties, the minimum levels of service provision agreed therein (in terms of quality and/or quantity) constitute obligations of result, which take precedence over these general terms and conditions.

Given that the availability and correct functioning of the systems and applications made available to the User by De Schoolvrienden under this agreement may depend on the availability of systems, applications and data from third parties with whom De Schoolvrienden has not concluded an agreement, it therefore provides no guarantee whatsoever with regard to the accessibility or otherwise of all its systems, applications and/or data on a continuous or even temporary basis.

  1. Liability

In view of the above, De Schoolvrienden cannot be held liable for the unavailability of the Website, or incomplete or incorrect information, with the exception of fraud and/or deceit on the part of De Schoolvrienden that can be directly attributed to the latter. If alcohol-containing products are ordered, you must be at least 18 years old.

  1. Subcontracting

De Schoolvrienden is permitted to outsource the delivery of its products or services in whole or in part to a third party, without the consent of the User being required. The parties expressly agree that such agreement(s), unless expressly agreed in writing by De Schoolvrienden, will not create any obligation or commitment towards the Customer. De Schoolvrienden expressly accepts that it is and will remain liable for the services that it has outsourced to one or more subcontractors, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

  1. Applicable law; courts

These general terms and conditions are exclusively governed by Belgian law. In the event of a dispute between the parties relating to the information made available by De Schoolvrienden via the Website, only the courts stated in the invoice conditions will be competent to hear such a dispute, whereby the parties will nevertheless make the necessary efforts to reach an amicable settlement in advance.
