The customer must inspect the goods for visible defects immediately upon delivery. Complaints about non-conformity of the goods or shortcomings in delivery must be submitted to Premiers within two months of delivery by means of a motivated letter sent either by post to Premiers’ registered offices or by e-mail to info@jeunepremier.be. Premiers’ liability in this respect is limited solely to the free repair or replacement of the non-conforming goods and does not cover any reimbursement of costs or damages.

Premiers requests that its customers report any defect which was not visible and/or could not reasonably have been known of at the time of delivery ('hidden defect') as soon as possible after its discovery. Hidden defects will only give rise to a guarantee if the guarantee claim is submitted to Premiers’ registered offices by letter or e-mail with proof of purchase within two (2) months of the customer discovering or reasonably being able to discover the hidden defect. Thereafter, any right to repair, replacement or possible compensation shall lapse. Any compensation shall not exceed the price of the goods.

- RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
The provisions of this Article 10 apply only to customers who, in their capacity as consumers, purchase goods on Premiers’ web shop or in any other way conclude a "distance contract" with Premiers as defined in Article I.8.15° of the Belgian Code of Economic Law.
The customer has the right to withdraw from the distance contract within a period of fourteen (14) days, without giving any reason, and without incurring any costs other than those provided for by law. This means that the customer renounces the purchase and returns the goods to Premiers, whereupon Premiers will reimburse the payment received (including the potential initial delivery costs), without prejudice to the customer’s liability for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling of the goods other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods. Premiers will reimburse the customer using the same means of payment which was used by the customer for the original transaction, unless the customer has agreed to another means of payment.
The withdrawal period shall lapse fourteen (14) days after the day on which the customer or the designated recipient, other than the carrier, acquires physical possession of the goods or, in the case of service contracts, the day on which the contract is concluded.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, the customer must inform Premiers of his/her decision to withdraw from the contract by an unequivocal statement (such as a written letter sent by post or e-mail). The customer may use the model withdrawal form for this purpose, but is not obliged to do so.
The customer must return the goods to Premiers without undue delay and in any event not later than fourteen (14) days from the day on which he notifies Premiers of his decision to withdraw from the contract.
All direct costs incurred in returning the goods shall be borne by the customer. In the event that the customer has expressly opted for a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by Premiers, any supplementary costs shall also be borne by the customer.
Where possible, when exercising the right of withdrawal, the customer undertakes to return the goods in their original packaging, together with all accessories and the proof of purchase.
The customer shall bear the full burden of proof of exercising the right of withdrawal.
The customer may not exercise the right of withdrawal for, inter alia:
- the supply of goods made to the consumer’s specifications or clearly personalised;
- the supply of sealed goods which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons and were unsealed after delivery; and
- the supply of goods which are, after delivery, according to their nature, inseparably mixed with other items.
- SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES
In the event of a dispute, only the courts of Ostend shall be competent, unless Premiers chooses the competent court pursuant to Article 624 of the Belgian Judicial Code.
Belgian law shall apply exclusively to the legal relationships between Premiers and the customer, regardless of whether they are contractual or non-contractual.
