2.1 Goods will be delivered from the factory at the buyer’s risk, carriage paid, in the manner most favourable to us (dispatch by freight, mail, haulier or parcel post).
2.2 Additional costs for special customer preferences (e.g. delivery by courier or express delivery, additional work such as pricing or labelling the goods) are for the buyer’s account.
2.3 Orders of less than seven pairs will not be delivered free of charge.
3. Unless agreed otherwise, all dispatches with a value of over € 500,– are delivered free of charge to the contracting parties place of residence, by the least onerous means of the vendor. The administration and postal costs for sending out goods below the aforementioned amount will be invoiced to the co-contracting party by the vendor, unless agreed otherwise. In case the vendor organizes the transport of the goods and/or deliver free of charge, the Risk of transport remains to the buyer. The Vendor is not responsible for any risks during transport. This is also applicable on goods which are being sent from the buyer to the vendor. The moment the goods leave the vendors depot/warehouse will be considered the dispatch date.
4.1 After delivery the goods shall remain our property until they have been paid for and until all outstanding claims that have arisen from the relationship with the buyer have been settled. However, the buyer may sell the goods or process them further according to the principles of proper business management.
4.2 The goods may not be pledged or used as collateral vis à vis third parties without our permission. The buyer is obliged to notify us without delay of any transaction involving goods which are our property. Striking the balance or approval of the balance does not affect the reservation of title.
5.1 In the case of force majeure or government intervention, both vendor and buyer shall be entitled to extend the delivery and purchase period for the duration of the impediment, however for a maximum period of three weeks, with the exception of the claim for damages. After the expiry of this period, both vendor and buyer are entitled to cancel the agreement. The same applies in the case of labour conflicts (strikes and lockouts).
5.2 Standing orders are not permitted for a first order. For delivery orders, the agreed delivery conditions are approximate and not binding. Each partial delivery is regarded as a separate transaction as far as payment is concerned.
6.1 Potential claims will only be accepted by the vendor if they are sent to him – directly and in writing – within two weeks after delivery of the items in question, with a detailed description of the form and the grounds of the complaints, and with mention of the dispatch/delivery note and/or invoice number.
6.2 The complaints concerning the invoices must also be filed in writing with 14 days.
6.3 Should the co-contracting party not have received the invoice within eight days after receipt of the goods, he must immediately notify this to the vendor.
6.4 After the period mentioned in articles 1 and 2 has expired, the co-contracting party is deemed to have accepted the delivered goods and the invoice respectively. From this moment on, no other claim will be accepted by the vendor.
6.5 Only the claims on goods delivered to the co-contracting party will be taken into account.
6.6 With regard to defects which may only come to light after usage (hidden defects), claims must still be filed within the two weeks after the defect has been discovered, or would have been reasonably able to be discovered, but never later than six months after the invoice date.

6.9 The quality of the goods and materials which comprise them must be judged according to the prescriptions and quality requirements in force on the date of the proposal for the goods / materials in question. The slight, usual tolerances, deemed acceptable in business, or technically inevitable tolerances of the quality, quantity, size, colour, finishes, dimension, finishing or others do not fulfil the bases for a claim.
6.10 In the case of claims filed within the appropriate timeframes, the co-contracting party must give the vendor the possibility, when the vendor deems this desirable, to check the claim; in case of refusal, the claim will not be taken into account.
6.11 When the claim is deemed justified by the vendor: - the vendor is obliged to deal with the claim to the best of his possibilities; - the vendor is only obliged, in the 15 working days, to deliver the agreed service, or to credit the goods which are the subject of the claim, without the co-contracting party being able to uphold rights to any compensation whatsoever; - with regard to the works carried out, the vendor has the right to carry out these works correctly within the fifteen working days.
6.12 The filing of a claim never releases the co-contracting party from his obligation of payment towards the vendor, with the exception of the possibility of suspending the payment for the part relating to the claim, as long as the vendor has not fulfilled his delivery obligation.
6.13 We can only accept returns of worn shoes when clean!

50 Euros, incurred by the non-payment or by the non-respect.
