Hopper&Fuchs BV makes great efforts to keep the information displayed on the website complete, correct, accurate and up-to-date. However, Hopper&Fuchs BV cannot be held liable for direct or indirect damage resulting from the use of information on this website. Images and product descriptions are intended to be illustrative and may contain elements which are not included in the price or differ from the article and cannot be considered as binding by Hopper&Fuchs BV.

The website may contain hyperlinks to websites or pages of third parties or refer to them indirectly. The placing of links to such websites or pages does not imply any implicit approval of their contents. Hopper&Fuchs BV expressly declares that it has no control over the content or other characteristics of third-party websites and can in no event be held liable for their content or characteristics or for any other form of damage resulting from their use.
6. Realisation of internet sales
An online order assumes the acceptance by the User of the Terms and Conditions as they apply at the time of the order.
Hopper&Fuchs BV reserves the right to refuse an order at any time. The mere expression of the User's wish to purchase a product is thus not sufficient for the conclusion of a purchase agreement.
An online order can only be accepted by Hopper&Fuchs BV if the User has clearly identified himself.
The purchase contract is concluded only if Hopper&Fuchs BV accepts the order by means of a separate written order confirmation or dispatches the ordered goods to you and confirms the dispatch to you by means of a separate written dispatch confirmation.
With digital goods the written order confirmation contains a User code (in case of gift vouchers, tickets for events,...) or an internet address where the digital good can be downloaded for one (1) week.
For goods in one and the same order, which are not mentioned in the order or shipping confirmation, the purchase is not concluded.
If, due to circumstances beyond the control of Hopper&Fuchs BV, items cannot be delivered by Hopper&Fuchs BV within a maximum of 30 calendar days after the order was placed, Hopper&Fuchs BV will notify the User at the e-mail address indicated by the User.
In this case, the User may choose to cancel the purchase. Hopper&Fuchs BV will then refund the amount already paid by the User for this item, using the original payment method.
The purchase agreement is hereby automatically dissolved with regard to the non-deliverable item(s). Hopper&Fuchs BV cannot be held liable for any damage caused by late delivery or non-delivery.
7. Prices
Users who use the Website as Consumers are shown the prices of articles including VAT and excluding shipping costs.
Users who use the Website as an Entrepreneur will be shown prices excluding VAT and excluding shipping costs. This is indicated with "excl.VAT" on the product page. The prices displayed to a User as Entrepreneur may already include commercial discounts and quantity rebates. Applicable taxes will however be added at check out.
Hopper&Fuchs BV endeavours to use the same Consumer prices on the website as those applicable in any physical sales outlet. The prices at which Hopper&Fuchs BV offers articles may be revised at any time without prior notice or notification.
For an order via the website, the prices applicable at the time of the order always apply.
8. Delivery, shipping costs
All goods are shipped only. Goods can not be collected.
Goods are shipped at the User's risk and expense to the delivery address provided by the User at the check out. The shipping costs to be paid by the User are clearly indicated at the check out before the User definitively confirms the order. When available, goods are prepared for shipment within three (3) working days. Backorders are charged immediately and shipped as soon as available. When goods are shipped, an email with tracking information is sent to you.
We cannot ship to P.O.Box addresses.
For international sales, please note that additional custom fees, national taxes, import duties and other costs related to the import of goods may apply in your country. They are the sole responsability of the User and must be dealt with and paid for directly by the User .
When purchasing digital goods, tickets, vouchers,... which are downloaded or delivered digitally, no shipping costs are charged.
9. Right of Revocation, return policy
The User who purchases as a Consumer has the right to inform Hopper&Fuchs of his wish to invoke his Right of Revocation during 14 calendar days from the day after delivery, except for digital articles (see below). This can be done via this Revocation Form on our website or by downloading this Model Form, completing it and sending it back to customerservice@hopperandfuchs.com.
From the day on which the User, purchasing as a Consumer, has notified Hopper&Fuchs of his wish to withdraw from the agreement, the User has a new period of 14 days to return the goods. All shipping costs for the return are hereby borne by the User. A return will only be accepted by Hopper&Fuchs if the safety packaging is unopened and undamaged.
In case of exercise of the right of Revocation, Hopper&Fuchs BV will refund the items within 14 calendar days of receipt of the return. However, the User shall be liable for the decrease in value of the goods resulting from a treatment of the goods beyond what was necessary to ascertain the nature and characteristics of the goods. Hopper&Fuchs BV may claim compensation for such depreciation after the reimbursement of the goods.
For digital articles which are downloaded (such as audio or video files, e-books, tickets, gift vouchers, etc.), the right of Revocation is not applicable. When confirming digital articles, the User is bound to agree to receive the codes or download links immediately.
The Right of Revocation does not apply to goods which are not prefabricated, nor to goods where a choice or provision of the Consumer is decisive for the manufaction nor to goods which are unambiguously adapted to the Consumer's personal needs.
The Right of Revocation does also not apply to contracts for the delivery of newspapers and magazines, with the exception of subscription contracts.
By accepting these Terms and Conditions, the User who uses this website as a Consumer waives his right to return the items mentioned above.
10. Legal warranty and title retention.
The User must report within a reasonable period of time any problems in connection to his order or delivery to Hopper&Fuchs BV. Complaints will in any case only be accepted by Hopper&Fuchs BV if they are reported within one (1) month after the object of the complaint has occurred to the User. Only written complaints addressed to the customer service shall be accepted by Hopper&Fuchs BV (by e-mail or registered letter: customerservice@hopperandfuchs.com or Hopper&Fuchs BV, Leuzestraat 96, 8510 Bellegem, Belgium).
In the event of complaints about orders or deliveries, the liability of Hopper&Fuchs is always limited to the value of the goods concerned.
As long as the customer has not paid the purchase price in full, the delivered goods remain the property of Hopper&Fuchs BV.
