Whether the Seller accepts the order depends on the availability of the product. As many of the goods on offer in the online shop represent unique items, their availability cannot be guaranteed. The Seller will, as soon as he can process the order, let the Customer know if he cannot accept the Customer’s order 1) if objects are not available anymore, 2) or if objects are in option for a earlier party, 3) or if the Seller detects a major fault on the object at the moment of order picking, 4) or in case the Seller’s subdealer is not able to confirm availability.

If the Customer likes to place an order he is adviced to send an email to the Seller via info@vintagetoysforboys.be prior to the placing of the order so the Seller can assure availability.

In case of lawful exercise by the Customer (and the products are still in impeccable condition in original packaging) of his right of withdrawal, the Seller will refund the price paid by the Customer (excluding delivery costs) to the Customer within 30 days.

Article 9
Due to the nature of a second-hand vintage shop and due to the nature and age of the offered objects a lot of them are for sale for their collectionable and design value and not (anymore) for their state-of-the-art and technical functionalities; moreoever as their technology is mostly outdated at the moment of purchasing.

Objects who are sold solely for their non-technical and non-functional value are individually stated in their product description with the term “Collectable object”. Those objects do have their full lawfully guaranty, but are excluded from any technical or functional shortcommings and have their normal wear and tear given their age. Those objects must be bought exclusively for their intrinsic collectionable and design value and their hard to find importance.

The objects do function – unless otherwise stated, meaning that their lights, … became to life at the moment of testing after connecting to the current supply and did react normally to their basic functions. Due to their old status, being second hand and lack of precise user history it is very hard (and logically unpossible) for those specific objects to predict and to guarantee the perfect technical working condition of every aspect of the object for a certain duration and a certain number of connecting cycles.

It is widely known in the world of - for instance - jukeboxes, pinball or slot machines that one can not predict whether the object will function the next time it is started up, especially if it took a certain period before the object is restarted again. As a result, these original electromechanical machines are very popular mainly amonst true collectors for the pureness of their vintage look and play. They can provide true ‘vintage’ pleasure, nevertheless periodic maintenance and problems – particularly when not powered on regularly – shurely can be your part.

In the case of consumer goods and thus the Customer has the status of consumer, a legal guarantee of one year applies for second-hand products and two years for new products, if they are not described on our website as “Collectable”. In the latter case they are clearly and exclusively sold for their intrinsic collectionable and design value as above-mentioned.

Article 10
The possible nullity of one or more clauses in these conditions does not entail the nullity of the complete conditions.

On all agreements with Toys for Boys Brussels (Design Technics bv), Belgian law is solely applicable, with the exception of the Vienna Convention (C.I.S.G) or other international legal rulings of which omission is admissable. In case of dispute, only the competent courts of the judicial district of West Flanders, department Kortrijk, are competent.
