Exclusively the present General Terms and Conditions shall apply, unless the seller has declared explicitly to be in agreement with the customer's general or special terms and conditions in writing.
The products are intended exclusively for normal use by private individuals, and exclusively for customers above the age of 18.
The General Terms and Conditions and confirmation emails will always be drawn up in the language of the website and/or online shop. The customer declares to be adequately proficient in this language by placing the relevant order.
Prices
The products are intended exclusively for normal use by private individuals and may not be resold.
All prices listed will always be stated in euros, including VAT and all other taxes that the customer is obliged to pay. Barring any provisions to the contrary, the prices of our products do not include administrative or shipping costs. These will be communicated separately upon completion of the online ordering process.
The prices as listed refer exclusively to the products as described verbatim. Any accompanying photographs have only been included for decorative purposes and may contain elements or products that are not included in the price.
The information provided with regard to the products and the prices, and additionally the detailed ordering information, have been compiled and communicated subject to change and correction by Brouwerij Sint-Bernard. Despite the fact that the online shop was developed with the greatest possible care, some of the information offered may nevertheless be incomplete, contain material inaccuracies, or may not be up to date. Brouwerij Sint-Bernard NV may not in any way be held liable for material, typesetting errors or printing errors. If you have any specific questions about issues such as sizes, colours, availability, delivery term or delivery method, we ask that you contact us prior to the purchase of the relevant product.
Our offering shall be valid as long as the relevant products are in stock and can be adjusted or revoked by Brouwerij Sint-Bernard NV at all times. Brouwerij Sint-Bernard NV shall only be bound by an order following its confirmation by email and receipt of the relevant payment within fourteen (14) days. Brouwerij Sint-Bernard NV shall have the right – without being obliged to provide a reason for this – to refuse orders, adjust delivery terms, split consignments and/or attach other conditions to the order.
Online purchases
The order will be confirmed upon the customer’s receipt of the email order confirmation by Brouwerij Sint-Bernard NV and after the customer has made full payment to Brouwerij Sint-Bernard NV within fourteen (14) calendar days following the placement of the order. The order will, if desired, be confirmed under the suspensory condition of the effective receipt of the payment by Brouwerij Sint-Bernard NV.
Brouwerij Sint-Bernard NV shall have the right to reject an order (in writing) on grounds of a serious shortcoming on the part of the customer with regard to the order, or any other order or agreement in which the customer is involved, if the order was placed by a minor, if the ordering procedure was not completed, etc.
Payment
Payment can only be made subject to acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions. Payment for products purchased on the Brouwerij Sint-Bernard NV website are made via a secure payment system, in regard of which the customer will be able to select his/her preferred payment method.

Delivery
All costs associated with a delivery will be borne by the buyer.
The delivery of the products shall take place following receipt of the payment, including the shipping costs. Depending on the buyer’s online banking settings, it may take several days before payment is received.
Brouwerij Sint-Bernard NV collaborates with an external shipping company for the delivery of its products. The delivery term will be approximately thirty (30) days following receipt of payment. A delay in delivery cannot in any way constitute grounds for the cancellation of the purchase or payment of any form of compensation for damages to the benefit of the buyer, except in the case of a deliberate delay.
The products will be delivered to the customer at the delivery address provided by this party.
Buyers will be held individually responsible for providing a non-erroneous delivery address. Any costs incurred due to the provision of a faulty delivery address will be borne by the buyer. If nobody is present upon delivery, or delivery is impossible for whatever reason, the delivery term may be extended. Any costs incurred in connection with this will be charged to the buyer. If a delivery is rendered impossible by the customer, the customer may be requested to pick up the goods.
Brouwerij Sint-Bernard NV has the right to make partial deliveries.
In the event of a non-delivery of goods which cannot be attributed to the customer, the customer can be reimbursed for any sums paid, without any interest or additional compensation being owed.
Deviating terms and conditions may apply to international orders.
As soon as the products to be supplied have been delivered at the specified delivery address, the risk attached to these products will be passed on to the buyer.
Withdrawal
Within the context of remote sales to consumers that fall within the scope of applicability of the Law of 6 April 2010, a consumer has the right to inform a seller of the fact that he/she wishes to cancel an order, without being held to pay a fine or provide a reason for his/her decision, within fourteen (14) calendar days of the day after the delivery. In such a case, all amounts paid by the customer, from which the cost of shipping and reservations will be deducted, will be repaid to the customer’s bank account. This amount must be repaid within thirty (30) calendar days, subject to the return of the goods in their original condition and original packaging.
Customers wishing to invoke their right to cancel an order must contact Brouwerij Sint-Bernard NV within the above-mentioned term of fourteen (14) days and send the goods, at their own expense, to Brouwerij Sint-Bernard NV, Trappistenweg 23, 8978 Watou (Belgium) within twenty (20) days following the date of their delivery. The model form used for the cancellation of orders will be appended to these General Terms and Conditions.
We explicitly ask that the purchases are returned via an acknowledged parcel service and provided with a tracking code. Brouwerij Sint-Bernard NV cannot be held liable if a sent package does not arrive or if the goods are damaged in transport. The buyer shall bear the costs of returning the goods.
Goods can also be returned in person to the brewery store at the following address: Trappistenweg 23, 8978 Watou, Belgium.
Exclusively products in their original condition and packaging, and accompanied by all accessories, user manuals and a receipt or proof of purchase, will be taken back. The buyer is liable for any reduction in value of the goods attributable to treatment that was not necessary to determine the nature of the goods.
Exceptions:
Customers are not permitted to invoke their right of cancellation for a number of products and services. The most significant among these are:
- Goods that have been produced specifically to the customer’s specifications or that have been personalised;

- Goods that spoil or age quickly;
- Audio and video recordings or software with seals that have been broken;
- Newspapers, journals and magazines.

Warranty
The consumer has legal rights by virtue of the Law of 1 September 2004 on the protection of consumers with regard to the sale of consumer goods.
Every product is subject to a legal guarantee that applies as from the date of purchase by – or delivery to (if applicable) – the first owner. To invoke this guarantee, the customer must be able to present proof of purchase.
The buyer must inspect the goods carefully immediately upon their receipt. He/she must ensure that the delivered goods are in line with the agreement.
Notification of any defect must be made within eight (8) calendar days following receipt of the goods. After this, every right to repair or replacement will expire. The cost of returning goods that do not match the description of its offering shall be borne by Brouwerij Sint-Bernard NV.
The commercial and/or legal guarantee can never be applied to defects that arise due to accidents, neglect, falling, abnormal or improper use, use of the article in violation with the purpose for which it was designed, failure to follow the instructions for use or user manual, adjustments or changes to the product, hard-handed use, poor maintenance, abnormal or incorrect use and force majeure.
This guarantee is non-transferable.
Neither can this be applied to products with a short shelf life, or products that are subject to wear and tear.
Defects that appear after a period of six (6) months following the date of purchase (or delivery, if applicable), will not be deemed hidden defects, unless the customer presents evidence to the contrary.
The short term provided for in Article 1648 of the Civil Code is limited to four (4) months following discovery of the defect.
Questions or complaints
Notification of complaints or disputes must be made in writing within seven (7) days after the date of delivery. If the complaint is found to be well-founded, our liability will be limited to exchanging the goods. Every liability of the seller will be limited to the amount actually paid for the order.
Brouwerij Sint-Bernard NV will answer all questions and handle all complaints within the reasonable term of seven (7) calendar days.
Force Majeure
Force majeure is meant to be understood as all causes originating from outside, whether foreseen or unforeseen, and on which Brouwerij Sint-Bernard NV cannot exercise any influence, and on account of which Brouwerij Sint-Bernard NV is unable to fulfil its obligations. This can also concern a delay that is attributable to a supplier of Brouwerij Sint-Bernard NV.
Brouwerij Sint-Bernard NV shall also have the right to invoke force majeure if the circumstance preventing (further) fulfilment of its obligations occurs after Brouwerij Sint-Bernard NV should have fulfilled its contractual obligations.
All delivery and other obligations of Brouwerij Sint-Bernard NV will be suspended during a period of force majeure. If the force majeure period during which Brouwerij Sint-Bernard NV is unable to fulfil its obligations exceeds eight (8) weeks, both parties shall be entitled to cancel the agreement, without any obligation to pay compensation for damages.
