1. General provisions
Within the framework of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale (hereinafter the “GTC”), the term “Product” refers to all products supplied by Win4LED SRL as well as any services that may be provided by Win4LED SRL for the benefit of its customer (hereinafter the “Buyer”).
The GTC apply to all Products supplied by Win4LED SRL to the Buyer, for any delivery in Belgium, and are sent to, provided to, or made available to the Buyer on the website [https://win4led.be] of Win4LED SRL (hereinafter the “E-Shop”), prior to the placement of any order.
Any order placed by the Buyer implies unconditional and unrestricted acceptance of these GTC, subject to any specific conditions that may have been negotiated between the parties.
The Buyer’s general purchasing conditions or any other documents are not binding on Win4LED SRL without its prior written agreement.
The description of the Products, as well as their characteristics, dimensions, shapes, or structures mentioned in the various documents of Win4LED SRL, are provided for information purposes only and have no contractual value for Win4LED SRL, which reserves the right to make any changes it deems necessary without prior notice.
The fact that Win4LED SRL does not invoke one of these conditions at a given time shall not be interpreted as a waiver of its right to invoke it at a later date.
2. Prices
2.1 Terms of sale
Except for those indicated on the E-Shop, the prices of the Products shown in Win4LED SRL’s catalogs, brochures, and price lists are provided for information purposes only, excluding VAT, end-of-life recovery and recycling costs in accordance with legal provisions, and applicable transport charges. The applicable VAT rate is the one in force at the time of delivery.
The Products are invoiced upon delivery at the prices and under the conditions in force on the date of the Buyer’s order.
Any order with a value of less than eighty (80) euros excluding VAT shall be subject to an additional flat fee of eighty (80) euros excluding VAT as a contribution to administrative costs.

3. Intellectual Property
Win4LED SRL retains all intellectual and industrial property rights relating to the Products, projects, studies, plans, models, and any documents issued and/or communicated to the Buyer. Any reproduction or communication, even in part, is prohibited without the prior written authorization of Win4LED SRL.
Unless otherwise stated, Win4LED SRL is (i) the holder of all copyrights attached to the works reproduced on the E-Shop, including, without limitation, texts, images, and/or photographs, and/or (ii) the owner of the trademarks and/or logos reproduced on the E-Shop (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Elements”).
Consequently, any use and/or reproduction of the Elements must be authorized in advance and in writing by Win4LED SRL.

• (ii) not modify the Elements,
• (iii) include the copyright notice of Win4LED SRL on any copy and/or reproduction.
4. Orders
4.1 Product destination
The Buyer, in their capacity as a professional, defines their own needs as well as the intended use of the Products ordered and their suitability for those needs. In this respect, Win4LED SRL is not subject to any advisory obligation. Win4LED SRL’s duty to advise is strictly limited to presenting, prior to the order, all available Product options that meet the selection criteria defined by the Buyer within the framework of their project.
By way of derogation from the above, Win4LED SRL may, at the Buyer’s express request, respond to their inquiries or questions by providing the information it has or is aware of, and by presenting the various Products suited to their project.
Win4LED SRL reminds the Buyer that any information and/or presentations it may provide are based on the data supplied by the Buyer. In this context, it is the Buyer’s responsibility to ensure that the information provided is complete, verified, final, and fully reliable, as Win4LED SRL is not required to verify such information or obtain additional details.
4.2 Offers and quotations
Win4LED SRL may offer Buyers, particularly those providing installation or consultancy services to their own clients, specific terms in the form of offers or quotations.
The validity period of Win4LED SRL’s offers and quotations is 90 days from their date of issue.
These offers may be revised in accordance with the revision formulas specified in the proposals.
4.3 Product availability
Our Products are offered for sale while stocks last.
In the event of an order for an unavailable Product, the Buyer will be informed of this unavailability either directly on the E-Shop or, as soon as possible, by any means deemed appropriate by Win4LED SRL.
4.4 Written order – Product references
Any order, which constitutes a purchase offer from the Buyer, must be submitted in writing to Win4LED SRL or via the E-Shop.
The exact and complete reference of the Product as listed in our catalogs and price lists must be specified for any order placed offline.
Any order becomes final only after written acceptance has been issued by Win4LED SRL.
4.5 Order modification
Any order modification requested by the Buyer must be subject to the prior written approval of Win4LED SRL. Such modification may, where applicable, result in additional invoicing or the issuance of a credit note.
4.6 Orders placed via the E-Shop
Without prejudice to any other provision of the GTC, in order to access the E-Shop, the Buyer must identify themselves by entering their username and password (hereinafter the “Login Credentials”).
Any order placed by the Buyer via the E-Shop implies their unconditional acceptance of the E-Shop’s general terms of use, which must be accepted in advance.
Any person using the Buyer’s Login Credentials is deemed to be authorized to enter into legal transactions binding the Buyer vis-à-vis Win4LED SRL.
Orders placed via the E-Shop constitute a firm purchase offer. Win4LED SRL acknowledges receipt of the order by email. This acknowledgment of receipt does not constitute acceptance. Acceptance occurs through a separate confirmation (order confirmation or shipping confirmation).
The Buyer is responsible for the accuracy of their contact details (email address, postal address, etc.).
Win4LED SRL’s electronic records constitute admissible evidence between the parties.
Part 3 : Articles 5 (Shipments and Deliveries) and 6 (Product Returns)
5. Shipments and deliveries
5.1 Shipments
Our shipments are delivered carriage and packaging paid for any single order to be delivered in Belgium in one shipment, with a net amount of at least five hundred (500) euros excluding VAT and environmental contribution.
For any order below this threshold delivered in Belgium in a single shipment, Win4LED SRL will invoice a flat contribution of eighty (80) euros excluding VAT, corresponding to a share of the transport costs.
Our carriage-paid and packaging-included shipments, as well as shipments with freight charges due, are always unloaded by the recipient.
5.2 Deliveries and lead times
Any delivery is carried out either by direct handover to the Buyer, by simple notice of availability, or by delivery to a forwarder or carrier chosen by Win4LED SRL at its warehouses or branches, unless a specific agreement has been expressly accepted by Win4LED SRL.
Delivery times are provided for information purposes only and are not binding on Win4LED SRL.
In the event of a delay, no compensation may be claimed unless in the case of gross negligence on the part of Win4LED SRL.
Win4LED SRL reserves the right to carry out deliveries in whole or in part, regardless of the preference expressed by the Buyer on their order form or on the E-Shop.
5.3 Transport
Our Products travel at the Buyer’s risk and expense from the warehouse, regardless of the sales conditions, the mode of transport, and the shipping arrangements, in particular in the case of carriage-paid sales.
It is the responsibility of the recipient to release the final carrier only after ensuring that the Products have been delivered in good condition.
In the event of damage other than that resulting from an inherent defect of the goods or from force majeure, the Buyer alone shall exercise any recourse against the carrier, in accordance with the provisions applicable in Belgium.
Notwithstanding any recourse against the carrier, any claim relating to the apparent quality of the Products must be notified to Win4LED SRL by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt within a maximum period of eight (8) calendar days from delivery. Failing this, the claim will be deemed inadmissible.
6. Product returns
No return of standard Products will be accepted without the prior written agreement of Win4LED SRL, formalized by a return authorization slip.
If accepted by Win4LED SRL, returns must be made carriage paid within eight (8) days following Win4LED SRL’s written approval and sent to the warehouse indicated on the return authorization slip.
Returned Products will give rise to the issuance of a credit note only after acceptance and compliant receipt at the designated warehouse.
Except in the case of a specific warranty, the credit note will be issued on the basis of 80% of the value of the returned Products.
In the event of damage to the returned Products, refurbishment costs will be deducted from the credit note if the Products can be repaired; otherwise, no credit note will be issued.
Special Products manufactured to the Buyer’s specifications may not be returned.

8. Installation and after-sales service
Win4LED SRL does not carry out the installation of the Products unless otherwise agreed. The Buyer is required to use a specialized installer who must strictly comply with industry best practices and the manufacturer’s specifications.
Consequently, Win4LED SRL assumes no obligation to provide advice or information regarding the installation of the Products, the responsibility for which lies exclusively with the installer chosen by the Buyer.
Any advice or information that may be provided by Win4LED SRL at the time of sale may under no circumstances be considered as installation instructions giving rise to its liability.
Part 5 : Articles 9 (Payment) and 10 (Retention of Title)
9. Payment
9.1 First order – Discounts
For a first order, payment is due upon receipt of the invoice, where applicable after deduction of any deposit paid.

9.2 Payment terms
Unless otherwise agreed, all payments are due within thirty (30) days from the invoice date, without discount.
The Products are deemed payable at the registered office of Win4LED SRL. Payment is deemed to have been made on the date the funds are effectively received by Win4LED SRL.
In the event of a dispute or partial performance of the contract, payment remains due for the undisputed portion or the portion that has been partially performed.

In the event of late payment, Win4LED SRL also reserves the right to:
• (i) suspend or cancel the performance of the contract or of any orders in progress,
• (ii) demand immediate payment of all outstanding amounts,
• amounts due, even if a payment schedule had previously been agreed.
