Guarantee of conformity
Pursuant to article 1649bis of the old Belgian civil code, the seller is liable for delivering an item that complies with the contract and is accountable for any non-conformity that exists at the time of delivery and appearing within two years of said delivery. Pursuant to article 1649bis of the old Belgian Civil code, in order to comply with the contract, the item must:
- correspond to the description, type, quantity and quality and present the functionality, compatibility, interoperability and other characteristics as provided for in the sales contract;
- be adapted to the specific purpose sought by the consumer, which the latter has brought to the seller's attention at the latest at the time of the conclusion of the sales contract and which the seller has accepted;
- be delivered with all the accessories and all the instructions, in particular for installation, as provided for in the sales contract; And
- be provided with updates as provided for in the sales contract. In addition, the item must meet objective compliance criteria:
- be suitable for the purposes for which consumer goods of the same type would normally serve;
- where applicable, present the quality of a sample or model that the seller has made available to the consumer before the conclusion of the contract, and correspond to the description of this sample or model;
- where applicable, be delivered with the accessories, including packaging and installation instructions or other instructions, that the consumer can reasonably expect to receive; And
- be in quantity and present the qualities and other characteristics, including in terms of durability, functionality, compatibility and safety, normal for consumer goods of the same type and which the consumer can reasonably expect.

Pursuant to article 1649quinquies of the former Belgian Civil Code, the buyer is entitled to demand that the product conforms to the contract. In the case of any defect, the Consumer is entitled to request that the Company repairs or replaces the goods. The Company may nevertheless elect not to proceed in accordance with the consumer’s choice if that choice gives rise to a manifestly disproportionate cost compared with the other option, given the value of the goods or the seriousness of the defect.
If the repair or replacement of the Goods is not possible, or if the defect persists or is particularly serious, the consumer can choose between reduction of the price by a suitable amount, or termination of the contract, pursuant to Article L. 217-10 of the Consumer Code.
For the 24-month period following the delivery of Goods, the consumer will not be required to prove the existence of the default.
Guarantee for latent defects
At the end of the legal conformity guarantee period, the consumer may also exercise the latent defect guarantee as defined under Article 1641 of the old Belgian Civil Code.
Pursuant to article 1641 of the old Belgian Civil Code, the seller is liable for the guarantee for latent defects of the item sold that render the use for which it is intended improper, or which reduce the usage so that the buyer would not have bought it, or would only have given a lower price if he/she had been aware of the defect.
In such a case, the consumer can choose between the termination of the sale or claim a reduction of the price pursuant to Article 1644 of the Civil Code.
Pursuant to article 1648 of the old Belgian Civil Code, the action resulting from latent defects must be filed by the buyer at short notice from the discovery of the defect
