- We emphasize that electrical and electronic equipment and batteries that are obsolete, broken, or at the end of their lifespan must not be disposed of in the municipal trash or selective sorting bins. This prohibition is indicated on the products themselves by the crossed-out garbage bin symbol. The purpose of this regulation is to reduce the waste of resources and protect the environment and human health by preventing the dispersal of substances contained in certain devices into nature.
You have the option to hand in this waste at a suitable collection point , in our store or to the supplier.
Article 11 Force Majeure
- In the event of force majeure, we are not obligated to fulfill our contractual obligations.

Because this constitutes force majeure, we are not liable to pay you any compensation.
- Force majeure is any circumstance beyond our control that prevents us from fulfilling our obligations, in whole or in part. This includes, but is not limited to, strikes, fire, business disruptions, power outages, disruptions to a (telecommunications) network or connection or communication systems used, and/or the unavailability of our website at any time, non-delivery or late delivery by suppliers or other third parties, etc.
Article 12 Intellectual property

We will do everything we can to handle your complaint within 7 days and hopefully resolve it quickly.
- All agreements we conclude with our customers, regardless of their place of residence, are governed exclusively by Belgian law. If, for reasons of international law, a different law applies, the interpretation of these general terms and conditions will be primarily based on the Belgian Market Practices and Consumer Protection Act, as incorporated into the Code of Economic Law.
In case of disputes, only the competent Belgian courts have jurisdiction.
- As a consumer, you also have the option of resolving the dispute out of court. You can contact the Federal Government's Consumer Ombudsman Service for this purpose. They are authorized to receive any request for out-of-court settlement of consumer disputes. They will then either handle the request themselves or forward it to a qualified entity. You can reach the Consumer Ombudsman Service via this link: http://www.consumentenombudsdienst.be//nl
- In case of disputes of a cross-border nature, you can also use the European Union's Online Dispute Resolution platform via this link: http://ec.europa.eu/odr
- If we can't reach an agreement through our personal complaints department (see Article 12.1), you can contact Becom. If SafeShops accepts your complaint, they will mediate neutrally between us and you as a customer. Please note that only complaints submitted via the complaints form at https://becom.digital/nl/consumers-complaints/ will be processed. This way, Becom immediately has all the necessary information to handle your complaint further.
