Island delivery Contact our Customer Service. | Island delivery Contact our Customer Service. |
This is our 'worry-free' option. Items are delivered, unpacked and installed* at the delivery address, on the floor and in the room chosen by the Customer. Our two-person delivery crew will remove all packaging and, at the request of the Customer, take it back for recycling. Costs for the use of an external ladder lift, however, are not included. These are charged separately by the delivery company and must be paid in cash upon delivery.
If a lift is not available, our delivery service will only deliver three floors up, and only items weighing less than 75 kg. Before placing an order, please bear in mind that the Customer is responsible for ensuring that all items fit through doorways and stairways. All relevant information (floor, accessibility, need for a lift, specifications ...) must be provided by the Customer during the ordering process to ensure smooth delivery.
If we find that at the time of delivery, 'White Glove Delivery' is not possible due to accessibility issues or missing or incorrect information, the items will be delivered according to the 'Front Door Delivery' procedure, without any refund or compensation. If 'Front Door Delivery' is not possible either, two options remain:
Our delivery service will contact the Customer to arrange a date and approximate time frame. If the Customer is not present when delivery is attempted within the agreed time frame, our delivery service will contact the Customer to agree on another time frame. If the Customer failed to notify us well in advance of their absence during the initial time frame, delivery costs will be charged for this second delivery attempt.
* Actions involving items other than the product itself (affixing to walls (e.g. wall lamps), drilling, connecting to the electric mains (e.g. lighting), etc.) are not carried out by us and are the sole responsibility of the Customer.
For delivery on an island, please contact our Customer Service department to inquire about the applicable shipping rate.
The following applies to all delivery methods
Subject to availability, we will endeavour to deliver the Customer's products as listed on the Order Confirmation within 65 working days from the date of the Order Confirmation, unless exceptional circumstances arise.
Reasons for a delay may include:
If, for any reason, we are unable to meet the delivery date, the Customer will be kept informed and offered the choice either to proceed with the order with an extended delivery period, or to cancel the order with a full refund.
The Customer must take into account that orders are delivered during the working hours of the postal and transport companies concerned.
The Customer shall ensure that there is sufficient room for the products ordered to be brought inside and placed in the intended location. In case there is insufficient room to bring the products inside, the Customer can still accept the delivery, or return the products, but returns are always made at the expense of the Customer.
For the purposes of these Terms, "delivery" is said to have taken place the moment the Customer signs the delivery slip for receipt of the products at the agreed delivery address.
Any visible damage, quality issue or other delivery issue must be reported immediately by the Customer to Flamant.
The risk of loss or damage shall pass to the Customer as soon as the Customer (or a designated third party other than the transport company) acquires physical possession of the goods. However, the risk is already transferred to the Customer upon delivery to the transport company, if said company has been instructed by the Customer to transport the goods while this choice was not offered by Flamant.
The delivered items remain the exclusive property of Flamant until full payment has been received.
Where applicable, the Customer undertakes to inform third parties of Flamant's retention of title, e.g. if anyone intends to seize items that have not yet been fully paid for.
The provisions of this article only apply to Customers who, in their capacity as consumers, purchase items online from Flamant.
During a "cooling-off period" of 14 calendar days, the Customer has the right to withdraw from the agreement without giving any reason.
This cooling-off period expires 14 calendar days after:
In order to exercise this right of withdrawal, the Customer must inform Flamant, Diebeke 33 - 9500 Geraardsbergen (Belgium), +32 54 43 32 99, customer.service@flamant.com of their decision to withdraw from the agreement by means of an unequivocal statement (e.g. in writing by mail or e-mail). The Customer may use the withdrawal template attached, but is not obliged to do so.
This notice must be sent before the cooling-off period expires.
The Customer must return or hand over the goods to Flamant Design NV, E-com. Return, Diebeke 33 - 9500 Geraardsbergen (Belgium) without delay, and no later than 14 calendar days after the day Flamant was notified of their decision to withdraw from the agreement. The Customer will be on time if the goods are returned before the period of 14 calendar days has elapsed.
The direct costs of returning the goods shall be borne by the Customer.
The Customer is asked to return the items in their original condition and packaging, including all accessories and instruction manuals that came with them. If a returned product has diminished in value in any way, Flamant reserves the right to hold the Customer liable and to claim damages for any diminished value of the goods resulting from use of the goods by the Customer beyond such use as is necessary to determine the nature, characteristics and operation of the goods.
If the Customer withdraws from the agreement, Flamant will refund any payments received from the Customer up to that moment, including the standard delivery costs, within 14 calendar days after Flamant has been informed of the Customer's decision to withdraw from the agreement. In the case of sales agreements, Flamant may wait until all the goods are back in its possession, or until the Customer submits proof that the goods have been sent back; whichever is the earliest.
Any extra costs resulting from the Customer's choice of a delivery method other than the cheapest standard delivery option offered by Flamant will not be refunded.
Flamant will reimburse the Customer using the same means of payment used to carry out the original transaction, unless the Customer has expressly agreed otherwise; in any case, the Customer will not be charged any costs for such reimbursement.

Under the Consumer Protection Act of 21 September 2004, consumers have legal rights when buying consumer goods. This legal warranty applies from the date of delivery to the first owner. No commercial warranty shall affect these rights.
In order to benefit from the warranty, the Customer must be able to present proof of purchase. Customers are advised to keep the original packaging of the goods.
For items purchased online and delivered to the Customer's home, the Customer must contact Flamant Customer Service and return the item at their own expense to Flamant.
If a defect is found, the Customer must inform Flamant as soon as possible. In any case, any defect must be reported by the Customer within a period of 2 months after its initial discovery. At the end of this period, the right to repair or replacement lapses.
The legal warranty never applies to defects arising as a result of accidents, neglect, falling, use of the item for other purposes than the purpose for which it was designed, failure to comply with the user manual or instructions, modifications or alterations to the item, harsh handling, poor maintenance, or any other abnormal or incorrect use.
Defects discovered more than 6 months after the date of purchase – or delivery, if applicable – are deemed not to be hidden defects, unless the Customer can prove otherwise.
The newsletter discount does not apply retroactively, is not exchangeable for cash, and is not valid in combination with other promotions. This discount does not apply to Flamant Paint, wallpaper, books, curtains, fabrics and house numbers.
Flamant Customer Service can be contacted by phone (+32 54 43 32 99), by e-mail (customer.service@flamant.com) or by mail (Flamant Design NV, E-com. Return, Diebeke 33-9500 Geraardsbergen, Belgium). Any complaints can be sent to this address.

In addition, the Customer shall automatically and without notice owe a fixed compensation of 10% of the unpaid amount, with a minimum of 25 euros per invoice.
Without prejudice to the above, Flamant reserves the right to take back any items that have not (fully) been paid for.
The invalidity, illegality or nullity of any provision of these Terms shall in no way affect the validity, legality and applicability of the other provisions.
No failure of Flamant at any time to enforce or exercise any of the rights set out in these Terms can be construed as a waiver of such provision, nor will it affect the validity of these rights.
These Terms are supplemented by other terms and conditions to which explicit reference is made, and by Flamant's General Terms and Conditions of Sale. In the event of contradiction, the present Terms shall take precedence.
The Customer accepts that electronic communications and backups may serve as evidence.
This agreement shall be governed in accordance with Belgian law, except for any provisions concerning applicable law in private international law.
The courts of the Customer's domicile shall have jurisdiction in the event of legal disputes.
