Terms and Conditions

Oldtimers Gilis > Terms and Conditions

In the event of a dispute, we always refer to the general terms and conditions stated below.

  1. Unless otherwise stipulated on the invoice, all our invoices are payable in cash. In the event of non-payment, we reserve the right of retention. All goods remain the property of Oldtimers Gilis BV until full payment has been made.
    In case of dispute, only the court of the seller’s domicile shall have jurisdiction.
  2. In the absence of payment on the due date, invoice amounts shall accrue interest at an annual rate of 10%. If payment is not made within eight days following the dispatch of a registered reminder, the debtor shall, pursuant to Articles 1139 and 1150 of the Civil Code, owe Oldtimers Gilis BV a fixed and irrevocable contractual compensation equal to 10% of the outstanding amount, with a minimum of €125.
  3. Any complaint concerning the work or deliveries specified on our invoices must be submitted by registered letter within eight days from the invoice date. Failing this, the invoices shall be deemed fully accepted without reservation.
  4. Shipment of goods, even when carriage is prepaid, is at the recipient’s risk.
  5. The acceptance of bills of exchange or order notes does not constitute novation of debt, and our general terms and conditions shall remain fully applicable.
  6. The application of VAT regulations shall be carried out according to the indications of the buyer and under their full responsibility.
  7. Delivered goods will never be taken back or exchanged.
  8. Vehicles are driven under the customer’s responsibility.
  9. Vehicles stored on our premises are not insured against fire, theft, or damage.
  10. A sales agreement for a vehicle is binding; any advance payments are non-refundable.
  11. All vehicles sold by us benefit from a maximum of 1 year of statutory warranty. The statutory warranty presumes that any lack of conformity identified within the first 6 months already existed at the time of delivery. Unless proven otherwise, the seller must therefore bear the cost of restoring conformity. After the first 6 months, the statutory warranty presumes that the defect did not exist at the time of delivery; thus, the burden of proof lies with the buyer. Only under this strict condition will the seller remedy the defect.
  12. The warranty never covers maintenance, adjustments, tuning, or other settings required for the normal use of the vehicle. The warranty remains valid only insofar as the buyer carries out the required maintenance of the vehicle (oil changes, lubrication, adjustments, etc.) and can provide proof thereof.
  13. The warranty does not apply if the vehicle has been damaged in an accident, if repairs or modifications causing consequential damage have been carried out outside our workshop or a workshop authorized by us, or in cases of negligence by the buyer, lack of maintenance, abnormal or incorrect use (including circuit use), or the use of unsuitable or poor-quality products. Damage caused by frost or other severe weather conditions is likewise excluded.
  14. All work carried out under warranty must, following an adversarial assessment and by prior appointment, be performed exclusively in our own workshop or in a workshop designated by us. The buyer must bring the vehicle to us, or have it brought at their own expense. All costs incurred outside our workshop and without a prior registered letter addressed to us remain fully at the buyer’s expense.
  15. More information regarding warranty can be found on zichtopuwautogarantie.be.
  16. Acceptance of our invoices constitutes explicit and unconditional acceptance of our general terms and conditions as described herein.
  17. Any tampering with or modification to the vehicle during the warranty period is strictly prohibited and will void the warranty.
  18. In the event of any issue, the vehicle must be stopped immediately and we must be notified. Any consequential damage caused by continuing to drive cannot be covered under warranty. Warranty repairs are carried out in our own workshop. Repairs performed in other workshops without explicit prior approval cannot be claimed from Oldtimers Gilis BV.
  19. Improper use of the vehicle or exceptionally heavy loading, such as circuit driving, may void the warranty entirely. Every user must treat the vehicle as a “good and prudent owner.”
