The general terms and conditions of Moortgat Consumer Services ("MCS") as described herein (the "General Terms and Conditions") apply to every product offered on the webshop and all deliveries. Placing an order implies acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions. These Terms and Conditions are exclusively subject to Belgian law.

 

PRODUCT INFORMATION

The products offered by MCS comply with legal standards and may be sold online by MCS.

Information, images, verbal communications, and specifications regarding all offers and key product features provided via telephone or email are presented as accurately as possible. However, MCS is not liable for any advice given, printing errors on the website, or technical data provided by suppliers or manufacturers.

Each product indicates its availability. MCS strives to communicate this data correctly. However, unforeseen stock errors or discontinued products may occur. In such cases, MCS will inform you as soon as possible and propose a solution.

MCS may include links to third-party websites that may be of interest or informative to visitors. These links are purely informational. MCS is not responsible for the content or use of these websites.

 

PURCHASE

MCS primarily offers its webshop products to consumers. Businesses may only purchase products as corporate gifts, and resale is strictly prohibited.

The agreement between MCS and the buyer is established when the buyer accepts MCS's terms and conditions and fulfills them. A missing signature does not affect the binding nature of the agreement.

MCS reserves the right to refuse an order or apply additional conditions, including in cases of:

  • Large orders
  • Orders placed by minors
  • Orders intended for unauthorized purposes (e.g., resale)
  • Incomplete order procedures
  • Issues with previous orders

MCS always confirms purchases via email. If no confirmation email has been sent, the agreement is not yet binding.

Businesses can only place orders for amounts over €100.00 (excl. VAT and shipping costs) and must indicate that these purchases are for corporate gifting.

 

PAYMENT

Products purchased from MCS must be paid using the available payment methods.

MCS retains ownership of all goods until full payment has been received.

To ensure secure online transactions, payment details are encrypted using SSL technology. No additional software is required to make secure payments.

If businesses require an invoice, they must provide their VAT number when placing the order or contact MCS at [email protected] within 7 days after the purchase date.

Once the order is delivered to the specified address, the risk is transferred to the buyer.
