Force of the majority

Der Lokomotiv is not liable if and insofar as its obligations cannot be met due to force majeure.

Force majeure means any strange cause, as well as any circumstance, which should not reasonably be at its risk. Delays or defaults by our suppliers, disruptions in the Internet, disruptions in electricity, disruptions in e-mail traffic and disruptions or changes in technology provided by third parties, transport difficulties, strikes, government measures, delays in supply, supplier negligence and / or manufacturers of Der Lokomotiv as well as auxiliary persons, illness of personnel, defects in auxiliary or transport equipment are expressly regarded as force majeure.

In the event of force majeure, Der Lokomotiv reserves the right to suspend its obligations and is also entitled to dissolve the agreement in whole or in part, or to demand that the content of the agreement be changed in such a way that execution remains possible. Under no circumstances is Der Lokomotiv obliged to pay any fine or compensation.

If Der Lokomotiv has already partially fulfilled its obligations upon the commencement of the force majeure, or can only partially fulfill its obligations, it is entitled to invoice the already delivered or the deliverable part separately and the customer is obliged to pay this invoice as a separate contract. However, this does not apply if the already delivered or deliverable part has no independent value.

Liability

Der Lokomotiv is not liable for damage to vehicles or other objects caused by incorrect use of the products. Read the instructions on the packaging and / or consult our website before use.

Retention of title

Ownership of all goods sold and delivered by Der Lokomotiv to the customer remains with Der Lokomotiv as long as the customer has not paid Der Lokomotiv’s claims under the agreement or earlier or later similar agreements, as long as the customer has performed or is yet to perform the work from these or similar agreements and as long as the customer has not yet paid Der Lokomotiv’s claims for failure to fulfill such obligations, including claims in respect of fines, interest and costs, all as referred to in Article 3:92 of the Belgian Code.

The goods delivered by Der Lokomotiv that fall under the retention of title may only be resold in the context of normal business activities and may never be used as a means of payment.

The customer is not authorized to pledge the goods falling under the retention of title or to encumber them in any other way.

The customer already gives unconditional and irrevocable permission to Der Lokomotiv or a third party to be appointed by Der Lokomotiv to enter, in all cases in which Der Lokomotiv wishes to exercise its property rights, all those places where its properties will be located and those things there to bring along.

If third parties seize the goods delivered under retention of title or wish to establish or assert rights thereon, the customer is obliged to inform Der Lokomotiv as soon as may reasonably be expected.

The customer undertakes to insure and keep insured the goods delivered under retention of title against fire, explosion and water damage as well as against theft and to provide the policy of this insurance for inspection on request to Der Lokomotiv.

Right of withdrawal

if there is a consumer purchase, in accordance with the Distance Selling Act (Article 7: 5 of the Belgian Code), the customer has the right to return (a part of) the delivered goods within a period of 14 working days without giving any reason. This period starts when the ordered goods have been delivered. If the customer has not returned the delivered goods to Der Lokomotiv after this period, the purchase is a fact. Before returning, the customer is obliged to report this in writing to info@derlokomotiv.com within the period of 14 working days after delivery. The customer must prove that the delivered goods have been returned on time, for example by means of proof of postal delivery. Return of the goods must be in the original packaging (including accessories and accompanying documentation) and in new condition.

If the goods have been used, encumbered or damaged in any way by the customer, the right to dissolve within the meaning of this paragraph lapses. With due observance of the provisions in the previous sentence, Der Lokomotiv ensures that the full purchase amount, including the calculated shipping costs, will be refunded to the customer within 30 days after proper receipt of the return shipment. Returning the delivered goods is entirely at the expense and risk of the customer.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:

Services (including events), the implementation of which, with the consent of the consumer, has started for the period of seven working days

Goods or services whose price is subject to fluctuations in the financial market, over which the supplier has no influence

Goods that are manufactured according to the consumer’s specifications, for example custom work, or that have a clearly personal character
