– loss of income or sales
– operating loss
– loss of profits or contracts
– loss of expected savings
– loss of data
– loss of work or management time
– damages to image
– loss of opportunity, including the opportunity to order a Product,
– moral damage.
The documents, descriptions and information relating to the Products appearing on the Website are not covered by any guarantee, either explicit or implicit, with the exception of the guarantees provided by law.
Thurso Sport SPRL does not provide any warranty regarding any damage that may be caused by the transmission of a computer virus, worm, time bomb, Trojan horse, cancelbot, logic bomb or any other form of programming routine designed to damage, destroy or otherwise impair any functionality of a computer or interfere with its proper functioning, including any transmission resulting from a download of any content made by the Customer, the software used by the Customer to download the content, the Site or the server that provides access to it. In this respect, the Customer acknowledges that it is his responsibility to install appropriate anti-virus and security software on his computer equipment and any other device to protect him from any bugs, viruses or other programming routine of this nature that may prove harmful.
The Customer acknowledges that he assumes all risks associated with any content downloaded or otherwise obtained through the use of the Website and agrees that he is solely responsible for any damage caused to his computer system or any loss of data resulting from the download of such content.
Thurso Sport SPRL is only obliged to deliver Products that comply with the contractual provisions. The Products are considered to be in compliance with the contractual provisions if the following conditions are met: (i) they must conform to the description and possess the characteristics set out on the Website; (ii) they must be adapted to the purposes for which such products are generally designed; (iii) they must meet the quality and strength criteria that are generally accepted for products of the same type and that can reasonably be expected.
In addition, Thurso Sport SPRL guarantees consumers against defects in conformity and hidden defects in the Products sold on the Site under the following conditions:
Apparent defect – Warranty – Legal compliance – Hidden defects
The presence of an apparent defect on a Product must give rise to a complaint by e-mail (anthony@thurso-sports.be).
The Customer must comply with the procedure relating to the right of withdrawal by informing Thurso Sport SPRL in advance by any means of this apparent defect, so that the return can be accepted.
Subject to the validation of a non-conformity or a hidden defect by Thurso Sport SPRL or the manufacturer as the case may be, the Customer has the following guarantees:
Thurso Sport SPRL, whose registered office is located at Avenue Den Doorn 5/1 – Brussels – 1180 Belgium, acts as guarantor within the meaning of the provisions of the [Belgian] Consumer Code and the [Belgian] Civil Code.
Thus the Client:
– has a period of two (2) years as from the delivery of the Product to act in case of lack of conformity of the Product,
– is exempted from providing proof of the existence of the lack of conformity of the goods during the six (6) months following the delivery of the Product,
– may choose the repair or replacement of the Product, subject to the cost conditions provided for by the [Belgian] Consumer Code.
The legal warranty of conformity applies independently of the commercial warranty described below.
In addition, the Customer may also implement the legal guarantee for hidden defects of the item sold, within the meaning of the Civil Code. The legal guarantee for hidden defects allows the Customer, within two years of the discovery of the defect, the refund of a Product that has proved unsuitable for its use.
The hidden defect guarantee allows the Customer to be protected against hidden defects in the purchased Product that prevent its use or affect it to such an extent that the Customer would not have purchased it.
The Customer then has two options: keep the Product and request a price reduction, or return the Product and request a refund of the price paid.
In order to implement these guarantees, the Product must be returned, in its original packaging, in its original condition, new, unused, unwashed, with the references of the initial Order and a copy of the complaint to Thurso Sport SPRL’s registered office, after sending an e-mail stating the reason for the return of the Product.
Force Majeure
In the case of an event of force majeure preventing the execution of these General Terms and Conditions, Thurso Sport SPRL shall inform the Client within fifteen (15) days of the occurrence of such event, by e-mail or by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.

All the obligations of the parties are suspended for the duration of the force majeure event, without compensation. If the force majeure event lasts for more than three (3) months, the transaction concerned may be terminated at the request of Thurso Sport SPRL or the Client without compensation from either party. The Client’s failure to pay cannot be justified by a case of force majeure.
10. PARTIAL INVALIDITY
If one or more provisions of these T&C are held to be invalid or declared invalid pursuant to a law, regulation or following a final decision of a competent court, the other provisions shall retain their full force and scope.
11. NON-WAIVER AGREEMENT
