All orders are subject to the sales conditions described below.
Any deviation must be reported in writing and explicitly accepted by B.Custom VAT BE-0653.901.150.
All prices listed on the website are subject to change. We are not obliged to deliver products if prices were listed incorrectly. You will be notified as soon as possible if an incorrect price has been displayed. Products will be delivered at the prices valid on the date of the order.
All customer prices of B.Custom for private individuals include Belgian VAT and exclude possible shipping costs.
All offers published on the B.Custom website remain valid as long as they are displayed on the website and may be modified at any time for operational reasons. All offers remain valid while supplies last. B.Custom reserves the right to adjust prices in offers.
All images, drawings, specifications concerning weight, dimensions, colours, etc., contained in brochures or on the website are approximate only and cannot give rise to compensation or cancellation.
No rights can be derived from the images displayed on the B.Custom website. Images are intended to provide an impression of the products and may differ from the actual product.
B.Custom reserves the right to refuse orders without providing reasons, or to accept them only after payment of an advance deposit, in which case the buyer will be informed accordingly.
1.1 Unless explicitly stated otherwise, every order implies the customer’s acceptance of these terms and conditions and the rejection of the customer's own purchase or sales conditions.
1.2 The fact that the buyer may not have received these general terms and conditions in their native language does not exempt them from their application.
1.3 All clauses shall be interpreted in favour of B.Custom, the seller.
1.4 The term seller refers to B.Custom; the term buyer refers to the customer.
1.5 Any dispute that may arise between the parties shall be settled exclusively by the competent courts under Belgian law, applicable to both national and international transactions.
1.6 Exclusion of any other liability: all claims by the buyer that are not expressly mentioned in these sales conditions are excluded, regardless of their legal basis, in particular any claims for compensation.
2. Delivery Time
The agreed delivery time is only indicative and not binding. The buyer cannot claim any compensation, nor demand cancellation or termination of the agreement if the delivery deadlines are not respected.
Delivery of Maxton Design products takes approximately two weeks up to a maximum of two months after ordering. This also applies to custom-made products such as wheels with custom PCD, ET values, or other custom-made items.
2.1 The seller has the right to extend delivery times or terminate the agreement in case of force majeure or operational disruptions of any nature occurring at the seller, its suppliers, or third parties, including late or defective delivery of raw materials, semi-finished products or components, unavailability of essential parts, or official regulations.
2.3 The seller is entitled to make partial deliveries.
2.4 Goods are always transported at the buyer’s risk and responsibility, regardless of the party performing the transport or the party on whose behalf it is carried out. Additional costs for express shipping are always borne by the buyer.
3. Payment
3.1 As a general rule, invoices must be paid within 7 days of the invoice date, and all payments must be completed before collection unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Payment can be made by bank transfer to the account of B.Custom or upon collection (cash or digital payment).
Goods will only be shipped after the full amount including shipping costs has been paid.
If the buyer refuses the products or fails to collect them within two weeks from the designated storage location, the seller is entitled to invoice the buyer for the costs incurred, including transport, administrative costs, and depreciation.
These costs amount to 15% of the principal amount with a minimum of €100.
The buyer is responsible for the correct receipt of the goods.
3.2 To be valid, any complaint must be submitted within 8 calendar days after delivery by registered letter; otherwise it will be considered null and void.
3.3 If the seller sends an invoice, payment must be made within 7 days unless agreed otherwise in writing.
If payment is not made on time:
a first reminder will be sent free of charge;
if payment is still not received within the specified period, late payment interest will be charged in accordance with the Belgian Law of 2 August 2002 on combating late payment in commercial transactions, together with a fixed compensation fee:
€20 if the outstanding balance is ≤ €150
€30 + 10% of the amount between €150.01 and €500
€65 + 5% of the amount above €500 (maximum €2000)
Administrative costs for each additional reminder amount to €7.50 plus applicable postage costs.
3.4 The buyer has no right to delay payment or apply deductions due to complaints, claims or compensation demands not recognized by the seller.
