III. General Terms and Conditions for Reservation of products via the Website
or App ("General Terms and Conditions")
3.1. Application and acceptance of General Terms and Conditions
3.1.1. Reservation via the Website / App and the delivery and purchase from Delhaize resulting from the
said Reservation are governed by these General Terms and Conditions. Only these General Terms and
Conditions shall apply to the relationship between the Client and Delhaize with regard to the
Reservation. The Client's General Terms and Conditions may only be applied if they (1) do not conflict
with these General Terms and Conditions; (2) have been duly notified and (3) have been expressly
accepted by Delhaize.
3.1.2. As stipulated, where appropriate, some of the clauses in these General Terms and Conditions shall
apply only to Consumers.
3.1.3. Delhaize is free to amend these General Terms and Conditions at any time, and the amended terms
and conditions shall apply as soon as they are published on the Website / App. Any Reservation made
prior to entry into force of the amended terms and conditions shall however be governed by the
conditions valid at the time of Reservation. It is the Client's responsibility to check the terms and
conditions in force before confirming the Reservation.
3.1.4. In the Reservation confirmation e-mail, provided that the Client has given their e-mail address, the
Client will receive a summary of the Reservation made and a link to the General Terms and Conditions
in a format that can be saved and/or printed by the Client.
3.1.5. A Reservation may be made in French or Dutch via the Website, and in French, Dutch or English via
the App, depending on the Client's choice. The Client will make this choice by displaying the Website /
App in their own language. Any subsequent communication between Delhaize and the Client shall
take place in the language chosen by the Client.
3.1.6. Reservations are only possible and valid for Belgian territory and solely for an End Use. Resale of the
products reserved via the Website / App is strictly prohibited. If Delhaize suspects that the products
are being purchased for resale, it may avail itself of any rights, in particular but not limited to those
referred to in Articles 2.2 and 6.3 of these General Terms and Conditions.
3.1.7. Payment for the products by the Client at the time of delivery confirms receipt of the products as
detailed on the receipt and/or delivery note and implies definitive acceptance of the delivered
products, without prejudice to any hidden defects. In the event of payment after delivery, signature
of the delivery note shall have the same effects. Taking delivery and making payment shall imply
definitive acceptance of the products, without prejudice to any hidden defects.
V. 02082016
3.2. Online account
3.2.1. Before placing a Reservation on the Website or App, the Client must first register on the Website /
App by creating a profile ("Online account"). The Client guarantees that the information they give on
the Website for this purpose is correct and truthful. After registration, the Client may use the services
offered on the Website / App by logging on via the Online account with their e-mail address
(username) and password. The Client may change their password at any time. The Client is solely
responsible for the use and confidentiality of their password and the management and use of their
Online account.
3.2.2. When placing a Reservation, the Client may use their Carte-Plus, which is done automatically if the
Carte-Plus is already linked to their Online account. Use of the Carte-Plus is governed by the Carte-
Plus General Terms and Conditions (IV). By applying for and/or using a Carte-Plus, the Client
acknowledges that they have read or have had the opportunity to read the applicable version of the
Carte-Plus General Terms and Conditions and accepts them unconditionally.
3.2.3. Delhaize reserves the right to delete, deactivate or block access to the Online account in the event of
abuse of the account or in the event of other breaches of these General Terms and Conditions
governing the relationship between the Client and Delhaize. In this case, the Client may not claim any
indemnity or compensation.
3.3. Reservation
(a) Placing a Reservation
3.3.1. The Client must register on the Website / App or, if they already have an Online account, log in with
their username and password, before choosing from the different products offered on the Website or
App and filling their shopping basket. The Client may also start by choosing their products and filling
their shopping basket before registering and logging in, to place a Reservation.
3.3.2. When placing a Reservation, the Client may use their Carte-Plus, which is done automatically if the
Carte-Plus has already been linked to their Online account. Use of the Carte-Plus is governed by the
Carte-Plus General Terms and Conditions (IV). By applying for and/or using a Carte-Plus, the Client
acknowledges that they have read or have had the opportunity to read the applicable version of the
Carte-Plus General Terms and Conditions and accepts them.
3.3.3. After placing an item in their shopping basket, the Client must indicate their preferred delivery
method by selecting Collect or Delivery. This choice may be made or changed later:
If Collect is selected, an Establishment must be selected as a collection point, as well as a
date and timeslot from the timeslots offered for collection;
If Delivery is selected, the Client must first enter their postcode in order to check if the
service is available in their municipality in Belgium (check which municipalities are
covered). If their municipality is covered, a delivery date and timeslot must be selected
from the available timeslots. The address (from the municipalities covered) where the
products are to be delivered must also be notified by the Client.
When a Reservation is placed, it must also be remembered that the Reservation can only
be delivered in Belgium, in municipalities where the Delivery service is available, and that
Delhaize does not deliver any higher than the third floor if there is no lift (for more details,
refer to the conditions in Article 3.4. (b)).
V. 02082016
3.3.4. The offers on the Website / App may differ from the offers displayed in the Establishment. When
placing a Reservation, the Client may not claim offers that are only valid at the Establishment.
3.3.5. When a Reservation is completed, a summary will be given of the total price (including charges). In
order to place the Reservation, the Client must formally confirm the price and, to this end, must first
confirm acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions by ticking the relevant box.
3.3.6. Once the Client has confirmed the Reservation on the Web Site / App and it has been accepted by
Delhaize, a confirmation containing a summary of the Reservation will be sent by e-mail to the Client
("Confirmation e-mail") to the address given in the Online account created by the Client.
(b) Amendment and cancellation of the Reservation
3.3.7. Reservations for Collect may be amended up to 12pm the day before the date selected for collection.
3.3.8. Reservations for Delivery may be amended by the Client the day before the date selected for
delivery, up to midday for deliveries requested before midday, and up to midnight for deliveries
requested from midday, within the opening hours of Delhaize's Customer Services department.
3.3.9. If the Client wishes to cancel a reservation before collection or delivery, Delhaize asks that they do so
as quickly as possible, preferably within the time limits set out in points 3.6 and 3.7 regarding
amendments, in order to prevent Delhaize incurring any unnecessary costs.
(c) Collection - Delivery
3.3.10. When collecting a Collect Reservation, the Client must show their E-mail Confirmation. In case of
doubt, the Client may be asked to show proof of identity.
The Client is not under any circumstances required to purchase the Reservation products. After
checking the products at the Establishment (collection point), the Client is free to choose which
products they wish to purchase from the reserved products. The sales contract between Delhaize and
the Client is only entered into at the collection point / Establishment once the Client has decided to
purchase the products concerned, in full or in part. The preparation charges are only payable once
the sales contract has been concluded (see Article 4 below).
3.3.11. To take delivery of a Delivery Reservation, the Client must sign for receipt. The Client is not under
any circumstances required to purchase the Reservation products. After checking the products and
the delivery note at the delivery address, the Client is free to choose whether or not they wish to
purchase all the reserved products. The sale is concluded when the Client decides to accept delivery
of the products.
If the Client considers that one or more delivered products are not compliant, but does not wish to
refuse the whole order, they may accept the rest of the Reservation and then contact Delhaize in
order to obtain a voucher for the value of the non-compliant product, which can be used solely
against a future Delivery Reservation.
3.3.12. Empty containers are not collected by the delivery person and must be returned by the Client to a
Delhaize supermarket.
(d) Available stock
For all Reservations, Delhaize will endeavour to ensure there is sufficient stock of each product. However,
Delhaize cannot guarantee that stock will be available for all the reserved products. If the product is no longer
V. 02082016
available, a substitute product will be offered for Collect, which the Client is free to accept or refuse. For
Delivery, no substitute product will be offered.
3.4. Prices, delivery charges and payment
(a) Prices
3.4.1. All the prices referred to on the Website or App include VAT and other taxes and charges. These
prices may however be amended at any time and do not include, where appropriate, the costs of
preparing the Reservation (see Article 6 below). The prices that will be paid by the Client upon
collection or delivery are those given on the Website or App when the Client confirms the Reservation.
Exceptionally, for some products, the price given on the Website or App is not the final price. This
also applies to fresh products (such as meat, fish, fruit and vegetables, etc.) for which the price
applied will be the Daily Price (i.e. the applicable price in Delhaize supermarkets on the collection day
for Collect or the applicable price in Delhaize supermarkets on the day on which the order is
prepared for Delivery). For products with a variable weight, a price estimate is given upon
Reservation of the basic price per measurement unit and an approximate quantity of the product. The
final price is calculated upon collection or delivery, based on the exact weight of the delivered
product. In the aforementioned cases, the final price will be notified to the Client upon collection or
delivery of the Reservation. However, the Client is not at any time required to purchase the reserved
products.
3.4.2. Delhaize shall ensure to the best of its ability that the information and prices given on the Website /
App are free from faults or errors. However, errors in communication may sometimes occur. In such
cases, Delhaize cannot be forced to enter into an agreement under the conditions resulting from the
publication error, and cannot be held liable for the resulting direct or indirect consequences. Delhaize
has the right to adapt the information and prices given on the Website / App at any time, on the
understanding that the information and prices on the Website at the time the Client confirms the
Reservation shall apply even if the information or prices are subsequently changed on the Website or
App, except in the case of an obvious error, material or otherwise.
3.4.3. When the Reservation is collected, the Client may only benefit from the promotions, coupons, offers
and benefits valid at the time the Reservation was confirmed. As an exception to the foregoing, for
products quoted at the Daily Price on the Website or App, the applicable promotions will be those
valid on the collection day (Collect) or the day on which the delivery is prepared (Delivery).
These offers may not in principle be combined with any other offers or between themselves, are only
valid for purchase of a standard quantity of products intended for normal personal use, must always
be interpreted in a reasonable manner and may not for example ever entitle the Client to free
products, unless this is expressly stipulated.
3.4.4. Clients who opt for Delivery cannot claim promotions or special offers (such as savings plans or
savings cards, etc.) or benefit from discounts reserved for personnel. To collect Plus Points, the Client
must link their Carte-Plus to their Online Account. The Carte-Plus cannot be scanned upon delivery.
Any 5-euro vouchers which the Client may be entitled to must be redeemed at an Establishment.
3.4.5. The photos and other illustrations used to present the products do not have any binding value and
may represent products or elements not included in the price shown.
V. 02082016
(b) Reservation Charges
3.4.6. Collect
The total amount due upon collection consists of the retail price for the products actually collected, plus
where appropriate the preparation charges as stated (maximum €4.50 for any Collect Reservation
under €150, unless otherwise stated), plus the retail price of any products additionally purchased at the
Establishment.
3.4.7. Home Delivery
The total amount due on delivery consists of the retail price for the reserved products, plus the specific
Delivery charges, as set out in the table below, which will also be notified upon confirmation of the Reservation by the Client:
Delivery fee
(delivery
charges)
€9.95 The preparation charges are included in this amount.
A reduction of €4.50 may be applied to the purchase of certain
products, which vary each week, depending on the promotions advertised on the Website or App.
The delivery charges are not applied to the first Reservation using the Delivery service.
Call-centre fee
(cost of using the telephone
reservation
service)
€5.00 Applicable only when a telephone Reservation is made.
This sum is only payable when amending and cancelling the Reservation, not for calling the Customer Service centre.
Liquid Fee
(delivery charges for
liquids)
€10.00 for each 60
litres, after the first 60 litres.
This sum is payable for all deliveries made following a
Reservation that includes over 60 litres of non-alcoholic drinks, water and beer.
This sum is calculated for each 60 litres after the first 60 litres
(for example: if the Reservation includes 120 litres, an amount of €20 will be charged).
If there is no lift in the building, the products will only be delivered to the ground floor.
For commercial purposes and as an exception to the foregoing, if the Client requests, the delivery
person may, if possible, deliver the products to the upper floors, within the delivery limits set out
hereafter:
Floor Delivery limit
-1 / +1 Maximum 4 delivery crates
-2 / +2 Maximum 3 delivery crates
-3 / +3 Maximum 2 delivery crates
"Delivery crate" means the units in which the products have been placed at Delhaize's full discretion and transported to the Client (box or crate or other container) and/or any containers provided by the
manufacturer in order to carry a limited number of products at one time by a single person (e.g. crate
of beer or packaging for several identical drinks, etc.).
Products exceeding the delivery limits listed in the table will automatically be delivered to the ground floor.
(c) Payment
V. 02082016
3.4.8. For reasons of security, upon collection and delivery, only electronic payments are accepted (i.e. debit
card, credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Amex), electronic meal vouchers). €5 vouchers and vouchers from
Delhaize or its suppliers may be accepted upon collection or delivery. Transfers are only possible under
the terms of Article 4.9, or if there is an electronic problem with the payment terminal that is Delhaize's
fault.
Unless agreed in writing between Delhaize and the Client, no payment flexibility will be granted.
Consequently, failure to pay on the delivery/collection date, or where appropriate on the due date, shall
immediately render payable the full balance owing, or Delhaize may decide not to supply the products,
without any formal notice being required.
3.4.9. Clients who are not consumers (liable for VAT, public institutions and liberal professions) may pay by
bank transfer for a Delivery Reservation, subject to express agreement from Delhaize. However
Delhaize reserves the right to cancel this facility at any time and without notice. All payments by bank
transfer must be made immediately upon receipt of invoice.
3.4.10. Clients who opt for a Collect Reservation and wish to receive an invoice must notify the Establishment
when they collect the products.
3.5. Right of withdrawal (for Consumers only, when ordering a Delivery)
3.5.1. General terms
Consumers have the right, within 14 days and subject to giving a reason, to withdraw from the
agreement between the Client and Delhaize. This time limit runs from the day following the date on
which the products have been taken into possession by the Client or on behalf of the Client ("Cooling-
off period"). The Client may exercise their right of withdrawal by using the withdrawal form available on
the website
http://economie.fgov.be/fr/binaries/Annexe_2_VI_et_XIV_CDE_formulaire_de_retractation_tcm326-
275274.pdf, completed and sent by post or e-mail to Delhaize, or by sending Delhaize a similar,
unambiguous declaration, which must be sent prior to expiry of the Cooling-off period. Although the
withdrawal may be notified verbally, we recommend it is made in writing, given that it is the
Consumer's responsibility to prove they have exercised the right of withdrawal.
During the Cooling-off period, the Consumer will check the delivered products and their packaging. The
Consumer will only unpack or use the products insofar as necessary to determine whether or not they
want to keep the products.
3.5.2. Consequences of the right of withdrawal
If the Consumer withdraws from the agreement, they will be refunded for the sums paid to Delhaize for
the Reservation, including the preparation and/or delivery charges (with the exception of any additional
charges incurred as a result of the Consumer choosing delivery methods other than the less expensive
ones provided as standard by Delhaize). This refund will be made immediately, and in all cases no later
than 14 days after Delhaize has been informed of the Consumer's decision to withdraw from the
agreement. Delhaize will refund the Consumer via the same payment method used by the Consumer to
make the original transaction, unless the Consumer has expressly agreed otherwise. In all cases, the
Consumer will not incur any charges as a result of the refund. Delhaize may however suspend the
refund until it has received the returned products, or until the Consumer has proved that the products
have been sent back, the first of these two time limits having precedence.
Immediately, and in all cases within 14 days from the date on which the Consumer notifies Delhaize of
their decision to withdraw from the agreement ("Return deadline"), the Consumer must return the
products via one of the following methods:
V. 02082016
- The Consumer sends back the products by post (at their own cost);
- The Consumer returns the products to a Delhaize supermarket reception desk, handing them
directly to the person at the reception desk.
- The Consumer asks Delhaize to pick up the products via the Delivery service. Delhaize will charge
the Consumer €10 for this return method, unless this collection is carried out within the Return
deadline at the same time as a new Delivery Reservation involving a purchase, in which case no
charges will be made for the return.
The aforementioned Return deadline shall be deemed met by the Consumer when they have returned
the products by post (the postmark serving as proof), handed them to a Delhaize supermarket reception
desk or had them collected by the Delhaize Delivery service before the Return deadline. The Consumer is
responsible for all direct costs incurred in this context.
The Consumer is solely liable for any loss in value of the products following use thereof beyond that
required to check the type, brand or working order of the products.
3.5.3. Exception to the right of withdrawal
The Consumer may not exercise their right of withdrawal for:
Delivery of products that spoil quickly or with a limited expiry date (= less than 60 days) (for
example: flowers, fruit and vegetables, meat and fish, dairy products, delicatessen and cold meat
products, bakery and patisserie products, frozen products, etc.).
Delivery of sealed products which are not suitable for return due to health protection reasons or for
hygiene reasons, which have been opened.
Delivery of products which, due to their nature, have been irretrievably mixed with other products.
Delivery of sealed audio or video recordings or computer programs, which have been opened.
3.6. Liability
3.6.1. Collection of reserved products, and performance of the services offered, solely constitutes an obligation
of diligence by Delhaize. Delhaize cannot be held liable if collection or delivery of the reserved products
does not take place or is delayed. In this case, Delhaize will do its best to make contact with the Client so
that they can fully or partially cancel their Reservation or change the delivery time. Delhaize cannot be
held liable for any indirect or consequential loss or for any loss not foreseeable at the time the contract
was entered into with the Client.
3.6.2. In order to place a Reservation, the Client must be of full legal age or have authorisation from their
parent or guardian. Delhaize may ask for proof of identity if the Client orders tobacco, alcohol or National
Lottery products. Where appropriate, Delhaize will not sell tobacco and/or alcoholic drinks and/or
National Lottery products to young people who are not of legal age.
3.6.3. Delhaize reserves the right to refuse or cancel a Reservation if there has been a previous dispute with
the Client concerned, if the Client has not correctly used the Website and/or if, on several occasions, the
Client has not collected a confirmed Reservation which has not been cancelled by the required deadline.
In addition, Delhaize reserves the right to contact the Client to verify the accuracy of the Reservation,
and to limit a Reservation if the quantities reserved are unreasonably large (e.g. a number of products
that is not standard for an end use), and to propose another quantity or offer a new collection timeslot.
V. 02082016
3.7. Personal data
In its relationships with its Clients, Delhaize acts in accordance with the Law of 8 December 1992 concerning
protection of privacy and processing of personal data. For more information on this matter, please refer to the
Declaration on Privacy on the Website.
3.8. Ownership and conformity of products
3.8.1. The products remain the property of Delhaize until full payment of their price by the Client upon
collection. Unless otherwise stated by the Law, the risks are transferred to the Client at the time the
Client takes delivery of the products.
3.8.2. With regard to product conformity:
Delhaize endeavours to obtain reliable data from its suppliers and to communicate this reliable data
on its Website and App. Delhaize cannot however guarantee that this data is accurate, complete and
up to date. Differences may appear between the data on the Website / App and that shown on the
product labels, in particular for technical reasons related to stock rotation. The data available on the
Website / App does not replace the information shown on the product labels. In the event of a
discrepancy, the information on the product labels prevails.
Delhaize guarantees that the products meet reasonable expectations of reliability and usability.
Delhaize guarantees that on the date of entering into the sales agreement, the products meet the
applicable legal provisions.
3.8.3. Before entering into the purchase agreement, the Client must approve the products for lack of visible
defects and conformity with the Reservation made by the Client on the Website / App. In particular, prior
to entering into the purchase agreement and prior to using the products, the Client must check the
product data on the product labels (in particular allergens). The Client expressly waives their right to any
action against Delhaize in the event of discrepancy. All the data are provided by the Supplier via
Trustbox, which is owned by GS1. For further information, see http://www.gs1belu.org.
3.8.4. If the Client notes any non-conformity or visible defect, they must immediately notify Delhaize prior to
entering into any agreement, under penalty of lapse. The previous paragraph is not an exception to the
following:
The rights recognised by Article 1649bis et seq. of the Belgian Civil Code, where the Client is a
Consumer.
The rights recognised by Article 1641 et seq. of the Belgian Civil Code, where the Client is not a
Consumer, in which case, until proved otherwise, Delhaize is presumed not to have been aware of
the hidden defect.
3.9. Proof
The Client accepts that electronic communications and saved electronic files may serve as proof. The Client also
accepts that telephone conversations with Delhaize may be recorded to serve as proof of any relevant fact.

IV. Carte Plus
4.1. Application of these terms and conditions
These general terms and conditions (hereinafter "General Terms and Conditions") apply to all aspects of
the relationship between the Client and Delhaize concerning the Carte-Plus and the Plus Points. Applying for and/or using the Carte-Plus implies unconditional, full acceptance of these General Terms and
Conditions.
4.2. Applying for and receiving the Carte-Plus
4.2.1. Costs of the Carte-Plus
The Carte-Plus is free of charge.
4.2.2. Applying for the Carte-Plus
The Carte-Plus may be applied for by completing the application form and handing it in or sending it
back. In principle, this form is available in all Establishments and is also online on the Website (hereinafter referred to individually and jointly as the "Application form").
4.2.3. Receiving the Carte-Plus
If the Application form has been duly completed and handed in at an Establishment, the Client will
receive (subject to available stock) a plastic Carte-Plus and two plastic Carte-Plus keyrings, which contain a single barcode for scanning. If the Client has duly completed the Application form and returned it via
the Website, Delhaize will send a provisional Carte-Plus by e-mail, and a plastic Carte-Plus and two
plastic Carte-Plus keyrings with a barcode will subsequently be sent by post to the address indicated. It is possible that the Client will not have to immediately complete the Application form before receiving the
Carte-Plus. In this case, the Client must, where appropriate, activate their Carte-Plus by filling in the Application form in full or in part, or by supplying certain information to Delhaize before they are able to
convert the collected Plus Points into Vouchers.
4.2.4 Checking the Carte-Plus application
The Client authorises Delhaize to contact it at any time using the details provided on the Application form or by any other means, to check the accuracy of their application and the information given.
4.3. Refusal or cancellation of the Carte-Plus
4.3.1. Reasons for refusal or cancellation
Delhaize may refuse the Carte-Plus application or cancel the Carte-Plus if:
all the mandatory information has not been correctly completed;
V. 02082016
the Client has not turned 18 at the time of completing the Application form and/or obtaining the
Carte-Plus;
the Client has had / has a dispute with Delhaize;
the Client has already abused / attempted to abuse in the past the Carte-Plus, Vouchers or Plus
Points and the Carte-Plus has consequently been refused or cancelled.
4.3.2. Consequences of refusal or cancellation
The Client may not bring any action against Delhaize if their application has been rejected or if the Carte-
Plus has been cancelled for one of the reasons listed in Article 4.3.1. The Plus Points already collected in
accordance with Article 4.3.5 shall be considered not to have been granted. If the application is refused, where appropriate, the Client must immediately send back to Delhaize or destroy the Carte-Plus and the
keyrings provisionally given to them and must, where appropriate, delete the e-mail containing the electronic Carte-Plus. The number of the Carte-Plus and the keyrings will be blocked immediately.
4.3.3. Sending information, documentation or advertising
The fact that Delhaize sends the Client information, documentation or advertising does not mean that it
explicitly or tacitly approves the application. The application is only approved once the Carte-Plus is issued to the Client. The fact that Delhaize sends the Client information, documentation or advertising
does not prevent Delhaize from cancelling the Client's Carte-Plus.
4.4. Advantages of the Carte-Plus
4.4.1. Use of the Carte-Plus
The Carte-Plus is accepted for 1) purchases in Establishments; 2) Reservations on www.delhaize.be,
Reservations or orders on www.delhaizewineworld.com and orders on www.caddyhome.be (hereinafter
referred to jointly as "Online transactions"), and 3) some purchases made with Partners. The up to date list of Partners is available on request or via the Website.
4.4.2. How to collect Plus Points
The Client will receive one (1) Plus Point for every two (2) euros spent in an Establishment or during an
Online transaction. Some products and services, however, do not entitle the user to Plus Points: 365 products, quick sale products (with a yellow sticker), municipal refuse sacks, cigarettes, photo service,
empty containers, telecommunication services and products, admission tickets to theme parks, Bongo or other gift vouchers, gift certificates and Bpost or National Lottery products.
The conditions under which Plus Points can be collected from Partners are defined independently by the Partners and therefore may vary. Delhaize advises that you carefully read the general terms and
conditions published by the participating Partners, and their websites.
If the Client hands over their Carte-Plus in time in the Establishment, or uses it for Online transactions, the Plus Points collected will be added to their Carte-Plus, save in the case of technical problems which
Delhaize will attempt to resolve as quickly as possible. A summary of the Plus Points collected with the
Carte-Plus will appear on the till receipt and may also be consulted when the Client logs into their online profile on www.carteplus.be or www.delhaize.be.
If the Client has forgotten their Carte-Plus when making purchases in an Establishment, they should tell
the person on the till before the purchase is complete so that it can be noted on the till receipt. If the
Client takes this till receipt and their Carte-Plus to a till employee the next time they visit an Establishment, provided this visit takes place within 30 days, the Plus Points collected at their previous
visit will be added to their Carte-Plus. Clients are not authorised to try to add Plus Points to their Carte-Plus from the till receipts of other clients who may have forgotten their Carte-Plus when making their
purchases. Delhaize reserves the right to refuse to add Plus Points to the Carte-Plus in such a case.
4.4.3. 5-euro vouchers
Every five hundred (500) Plus Points collected entitles the Client to one (1) 5-euro voucher ("Voucher") which the Client may collect from an Establishment. A Voucher may be used to pay for purchases in an
V. 02082016
Establishment or from a Partner and may also be used for offers or special promotions to obtain certain
goods at special prices, subject to payment of part of the price in cash, where appropriate. In this way, the Client can sometimes increase the value of their voucher to more than 5 euros. Vouchers may not
under any circumstances be exchanged for cash. Each voucher has an expiry date. After this date, the voucher is no longer usable.
4.4.4. Special offers
In some cases, the Carte-Plus also gives access to special offers or reductions advertised in some
Establishments, by Partners, on the Website or in mailings sent to the Client. In some cases, if the Client logs into their online profile on www.delhaize.be, they can also download/activate certain offers on their
Carte-Plus so that these offers are automatically granted the next time they buy the relevant products in
an Establishment (if the Client hands over their Carte-Plus in time to the till employee). To benefit from these offers, they must be downloaded/activated onto the Carte-Plus before making the purchases
concerned. It is also possible that automatic application of downloaded/activated offers is not valid in all Establishments. Please always read carefully the text accompanying the offer in question and the
additional information on the Website.
In addition, offers are only valid for purchase of a standard quantity of products for normal personal use.
If no expiry date or end date is given for the offer, this means that it will close two (2) weeks after the start date.
4.4.5. Self-scanning at Delhaize
Portable scanners are provided in many Establishments. To use a portable scanner, simply scan the
Carte-Plus at a Self-Scan till. This scanner enables the Client to scan their purchases themselves and use the Establishment's Self-Scan till to complete their purchases.
4.4.6. Loss of the Carte-Plus
If the Client loses the Carte-Plus, they can request a new one. The Plus Points on the old Carte-Plus will
generally be considered lost. However, if the Client requests, Delhaize can try to use its data to recover the Plus Points already collected and transfer them, where appropriate, to the new Carte-Plus.
4.4.7. Validity of Plus Points and the Carte-Plus
Plus Points are valid for two (2) years, meaning that the Client can use them for two years and exchange
them for the corresponding number of Vouchers, as stipulated in Article 5. The validity of the Carte-Plus is unlimited, but if the card is not used for over two (2) years, Delhaize reserves the right to cancel
and/or block it.
4.5. Limits on using the Carte-Plus and related benefits
4.5.1. Special offers may not be used in conjunction with other promotions and coupons
Promotions, coupons or any other promotion or general or specific discount granted (e.g. a rebate
amount or percentage, a joint offer, offer of a free product, etc.) cannot be used in conjunction with any
other special offer, under the terms of Article 5.4. The promotions concerned may however be used in conjunction with Vouchers. The Client must always read carefully the information given for the offer
concerned.
4.5.2. Personal character of the Carte-Plus
The Carte-Plus is strictly personal. The Client is responsible for loaning it or sharing the number with third parties. The Carte-Plus and Plus Points are not transferable, even if the contract with Delhaize
comes to an end, for any reason whatsoever.
4.5.3. Consequences of abusive use of the Carte-Plus
In the event of abusive use of the Carte-Plus or Vouchers or in the event of any other breach of these General Terms and Conditions, Delhaize may cancel the Carte-Plus with immediate effect and/or block its
continued use. In this case, the Client does not have any right of recourse against Delhaize. The Plus Points already collected, in accordance with Article 5, will be immediately cancelled. Vouchers already
V. 02082016
sent out may however still be used, unless they have been obtained by fraudulent or abusive use of the
system, in which case Delhaize has the right to claim back the corresponding amounts. If the Carte-Plus is cancelled, the Client must send it back to Delhaize with the two keyrings, or destroy them and confirm
to Delhaize in writing that they have been destroyed. Where appropriate, the Client will also definitively delete the e-mail containing the electronic Carte-Plus.
4.6. General provisions
4.6.1. Amendments to these General Terms and Conditions
Delhaize is free to amend these General Terms and Conditions at any time, and these amendments will be applied from the first notification by any medium whatsoever (for example the Website). As the said
amendments will not enter into force until later, the Client therefore retains the right to waive their right
to use the Carte-Plus and/or to return their Carte-Plus.
4.6.2. Exclusion of other general terms and conditions
Any of the Client's general terms and conditions cannot apply under any circumstances to the
relationship between the Client and Delhaize.
4.6.3. Secondary application of special terms and conditions
These General Terms and Conditions apply to the relationship between the Client and Delhaize, unless the Client has agreed different special terms and conditions in writing with Delhaize. These General
Terms and Conditions shall not infringe on any more specific conditions that Delhaize sets out, including
the protection of personal data.
4.6.4. Limit of liability Delhaize may not be held liable for any direct or indirect loss to the Client's installations or devices
resulting from use of the Website or the Carte-Plus. Delhaize refuses all liability in the event of
interruption, even temporary, of the Carte-Plus and Plus Points services, whether online, in an Establishment or any other place. Delhaize cannot be held liable for any indirect or consequential loss or
for any loss not foreseeable at the time the Carte-Plus was applied for or given to the Client.
4.6.5. Protection of personal data In its relationships with the Client, Delhaize acts in accordance with the Law of 8 December 1992
concerning protection of privacy and processing of personal data. For more information on this matter,
refer to the Carte-Plus declaration of confidentiality appended to the Application form and available on the Website.
4.6.6. Stopping the Carte-Plus programme
Delhaize reserves the right to stop the Plus Points programme completely or partially (meaning for
example: some elements of it or a group of persons) without having to give a reason for its decision. If the programme stops, Delhaize will inform the Client and give them the possibility to exchange the
available points balance and use the Vouchers in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions, within a 3-month deadline.
4.6.7. Absence of waiver If Delhaize does not comply with any provision of these General Terms and Conditions or does not take
any action against the Client in the event of a (potential) breach of a provision, this may not be interpreted as a waiver of its action or right in relation to the said provision or breach, unless this is
confirmed by Delhaize in writing. This fact may not under any circumstances be interpreted as a waiver of action or right in relation to any future breach.
4.6.8. Proof The Client accepts that the communications with Delhaize and saved electronic files may be used as
proof, and that telephone conversations with Delhaize may be recorded to be used as proof of any relevant fact.
V. 02082016
4.6.9. Applicable law and jurisdiction
