ORDERS

All contractual relationships between VAN KRIEKEN x LLUKAJ VOF (company number

0800.298.597 and VAT number BE 0800.298.597) and its customers are exclusively subject to these terms and conditions. The present terms and conditions can only be deviated from with a special, prior and written agreement with VAN KRIEKEN x LLUKAJ. Signing a quotation or order from VAN KRIEKEN x LLUKAJ, by e-mail, verbal agreement, telephone confirmation, receiving the invoice or the delivered good as well as visiting our website confirms the customer expressly and exclusively agreeing to these general terms and conditions.

Customized orders made by the customer are binding and can never be cancelled. The customer must therefore fulfil the payment obligation and actually collect the ordered goods.

The delivery time is always an estimate. This term does not serve as a basis for dispute, with the exception of a prior written agreement that explicitly states the term by which the work will be produced.

Delay in delivery does not entitle to refund or compensation. In addition, this does not give the right to dissolve these general terms and conditions.

The delivery period starts as soon as the advance has been received. As long as this advance has not been received, VAN KRIEKEN x LLUKAJ reserves the right to withhold the order.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

All pieces of jewellery and accessories are handmade by VAN KRIEKEN x LLUKAJ. As we do our best to guarantee the highest quality of the delivered work, we cannot be held accountable for any slight variations in appearance when producing duplicate pieces of our collections. The photos and other descriptive elements illustrating the works are not contractual. If those photos and/or other descriptive elements present some variations, VAN KRIEKEN x LLUKAJ cannot be held accountable. If the client is not satisfactory with the completion of the purchase, we advise them to contact the mediator platform Belmed (online mediation of commercial disputes). Diamonds, polished and cut, with a carat weight of one and higher will be accompanied by a official certificate.

PAYMENT

Preliminary quotations are always an estimate of the final amount. This amount does not serve as a basis for dispute, with the exception of a prior written agreement with an explicit statement of the price amount by which the works will be produced.

When paying the invoice, as well as partial payment, the works are assumed to have been accepted and approved by the customer. This approval refers to both price and quality of the work.

Invoices must always be paid by bank transfer within the payment term submitted. Cash payment can be paid within the same period after prior written agreement. The goods will only be delivered to the customer after receiving the full payment of the work.

In the event of non-payment of the invoice after the expiry date, a compensation of 8% of the invoiced amount with a minimum of 75 euros by operation of law and without any prior notice of default. In addition, a monthly late payment interest of 10% will automatically apply from the due date until the day of complete settlement, with each beginning of the month counting as a full month.

In the event of non-payment of the amount owed by the customer, VAN KRIEKEN x LLUKAJ reserves the right to retain transferred materials and advance payments until full settlement of the outstanding debt. In addition, the customer cannot consequently claim a compensation.
