Preamble
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale (hereinafter the “Terms and Conditions”) are entered into between S.A. Super 3 (BE0428294887, J. van Elewijckstraat 52, 1853 Strombeek-bever, Belgium, 003222679955) (hereinafter the “Seller”) and any non-trading natural person (hereinafter the “Customer”) wishing to make a purchase on the Website www.k-way.be (hereinafter the “Website”). The Seller and the Customer are hereinafter jointly referred to as the “Parties”.
The Parties agree that these Terms and Conditions exclusively govern their relationship. The Seller reserves the right to occasionally amend the Terms and Conditions. They shall be applicable as soon as they appear online.
01 - Subject
These Terms and Conditions serve to establish the terms of sale between the Seller and the Customer, from placing an order and after-sales, through to payment and delivery.
These Terms and Conditions apply, without restriction or reservation, to all of the products and/or services offered for sale on the Website.
Placing an order on the Website by the Customer implies full acceptance of these Terms and Conditions. These are accessible, at any time, on the Website and prevail, where present, over any other version and over the Customer’s own terms of purchase or other terms.
02 - Products
The products governed by these Terms and Conditions are those which appear on the Website and which are indicated as sold and shipped by the Seller (hereinafter the “Products”). The Products are available subject to stock availability.
The Products are described and presented as accurately as possible. However, if errors or omissions occur in this presentation, the Seller cannot be held liable therefor.
The photographs of the Products are non-contractual.
03 - Transfer of Ownership
By way of derogation from Article 1583 of the Civil Code, the goods sold, delivered or installed shall remain the exclusive property of the Seller until the invoices are fully paid. Notwithstanding this reservation of ownership, all risk of loss and damage relating to the goods in question shall be transferred to the Customer upon taking possession thereof.
04 - Prices
All Product prices are shown in euros inclusive of all taxes. They include VAT and any applicable discounts on the date of the order.
Prices shown are subject to visible errors. In the event of an incorrect price being displayed which is ridiculously low, whatever the reason (IT bug, manual error, technical error, etc.), the sale – even where confirmed – shall be cancelled, of which we will inform you as soon as possible. You shall then be able, if so desired, to re-order the item(s) at the corrected price.
Product prices do not include delivery charges (for freight, packaging, and preparation of the parcel), which shall be based on current amounts. The shipping charges will be specified on the order form before confirming the order.
If one or more taxes or fees, particularly environmental contributions, are created or subject to change – be it upwards or downwards –, this change will be reflected in the selling price of the Products shown on the Website and in the various sales aids.
However, a price cannot be changed once the Customer’s order has been confirmed.
05 - Order
5.1 Prior identification of the Customer
To place an order, the Customer must identify himself/herself with his/her email address or customer number and password. For the initial order, the Customer must create an account following the procedure indicated on the Website.
In the event of a lost or forgotten password, the Customer may request his/her credentials by logging into his/her account and clicking on “forgotten my password”. His/her password will then be sent to the email address provided at the time of registering.
5.2 Registration and order confirmation
Once the shopping basket has been confirmed (using the confirm order button marked “order with payment obligation”), the customer must accept these Terms and Conditions, choose the shipping address and method and, lastly, confirm the payment method. This last step shall formalise the sale agreement between the Seller and Customer. All orders imply acceptance of the prices and descriptions of the products available for sale. Any dispute in this regard shall be made in the context of a potential discussion and of the guarantees mentioned below (Article 8).
The Seller shall acknowledge receipt of the order, once it is confirmed, by sending an email.
In some cases, particularly in the event of a default of payment, incorrect address or another problem on the Customer’s account, the Seller shall reserve the right to block the Customer’s order until the problem is resolved.
In the event that a Product ordered is unavailable, the Customer shall be notified thereof by email.
The cancellation and eventual refund for this Product shall be made (only Products available at the time of ordering may be charged, as opposed to deferred revenue), with the rest of the order remaining final and intact.
06 - Payment Procedures
Payment may be made by Bancontact, bank transfer, Visa or MasterCard.
The Customer must make payment for all purchases in the order to the bank details provided in the order confirmation email.
The Customer shall only be charged when the available Products are shipped.
In the event that the Products are unavailable or out of stock, said charge shall be made only for the amount of the Products actually sent.

This period of service is not guaranteed for high-activity periods, such as sales periods.
“Home delivery” in 48 to 96 hours, based on the following conditions:
