1. Purpose

These General Terms and Conditions of Rental (hereinafter the “Terms and Conditions”) are intended to define the conditions under which Judassime (the “Lessor”) makes available, on a temporary basis, garments, accessories and semi-couture pieces (the “Items”) to the Client.

Any booking, confirmation, provision or handover of an Item implies the Client’s full, complete and unconditional acceptance of these Terms and Conditions, to the exclusion of any other document not expressly accepted in writing by Judassime.

2. Lessor Identification

Judassime, operated by VOORTMANS Benjamin, is a professional business engaged in the creation and rental of garments and semi-couture accessories, registered in Belgium, with its registered office at IJzerlaan 54/56, 2060 Antwerp, Belgium.

3. Definitions

Lessor: Judassime, making the Items available.
Client: any natural person or legal entity entering into an agreement with the Lessor.
Items: rented garments, accessories and semi-couture pieces.
Agreement: the contractual set consisting of these Terms and Conditions, the validated booking, and where applicable any quotation, booking form, written exchange or invoice issued by Judassime.

4. Scope of Application

These Terms and Conditions apply to all rentals concluded by Judassime, whether the Client is a private individual or a professional, in Belgium or internationally, subject to acceptance of the request by the Lessor.

The Items offered for rental are semi-couture creations, handcrafted, sometimes unique and sometimes produced in limited series, and may include garments, adornments, accessories, ornaments or specific textile pieces.

The Client acknowledges that the choice of an Item, its use and its suitability for the Client’s needs are the Client’s sole responsibility.

Where the Client is a consumer, the mandatory provisions of Book VI of the Belgian Code of Economic Law shall apply.

5. Formation of the Agreement

The Agreement shall be deemed formed upon:

written confirmation of the booking by Judassime; and
payment of the deposit, the total price, or any amount requested as validation.

The Lessor reserves the right to refuse any rental request, in particular in the event of unavailability, doubt as to the conditions of use, lack of solvency, prior dispute or inappropriate conduct.

The Client acknowledges having read these Terms and Conditions and accepts them without reservation prior to any handover of an Item.

6. Price and Payment Terms

Prices are stated in euros (€), VAT included unless otherwise specified.

The Lessor reserves the right to require:

full payment in advance; or
a deposit; or
any other payment arrangement specified in the special rental conditions.

In the absence of payment within the agreed time limits:

the booking may be cancelled;
provision or handover of the Items may be refused;
the Lessor may suspend any ongoing collaboration.

Any late payment shall give rise to:

late payment interest;
a fixed recovery indemnity;
and, where applicable, any justified additional costs.

The applicable interest rate shall be the rate in force in accordance with the legal and regulatory references applicable in Belgium. For information purposes, it corresponds to the reference rate applicable during the second half of 2025, i.e. 8.28%, such rate being subject to change.

Calculation of late payment penalties:
Late payment interest = unpaid amount × interest rate × number of days overdue / 365

In addition to late payment penalties due automatically by operation of law, the Lessor may claim a fixed indemnity of 40 euros per unpaid invoice in respect of recovery costs.

Judassime reserves the right to:

suspend ongoing rentals;
refuse any new collaboration;
require full payment in advance for any future booking.

7. Security Deposit

A security deposit may be required prior to handover of the Items.

This deposit:

does not constitute payment;
shall not bear interest;
is intended to secure the proper performance of the Client’s obligations.

Its amount shall be determined by Judassime depending in particular on:

the value of the Item;
the nature of the event;
the risk associated with the declared use;
or the particular sensitivity of the rented piece.

The security deposit shall be refunded within a reasonable period following return and full inspection of the Items, subject, where applicable, to deduction of any sums due under the Agreement.

The Lessor reserves the right to retain all or part of the security deposit in the event of damage, loss, theft, delay, non-return, non-payment or any other contractual breach.

8. Rental Period

The rental period is strictly defined in the Agreement.

It shall run from the material handover of the Item to the Client or to the carrier designated on the Client’s behalf, unless otherwise stipulated.

Any extension of the initial rental period must be subject to Judassime’s prior written consent.

Any overrun of the agreed period shall automatically entail:

daily penalties;
and/or invoicing equivalent to a new rental period.

In the absence of return within a reasonable period following formal notice, the situation may be treated as wrongful retention or unlawful appropriation, without prejudice to any legal action.

9. Provision, Delivery and Transfer of Risk

Handover of the Item shall occur only after full payment of all sums due and, where applicable, payment of the security deposit.

In the case of hand delivery:

a final fitting may be carried out;
validation of the Item by the Client shall render any outstanding sums immediately due and payable;
handover shall take place immediately after payment.

In the case of delivery:

full payment is required before dispatch;
the delivery address provided by the Client shall engage the Client’s responsibility;
any additional cost arising from an incorrect address, absence upon delivery or re-shipment shall be borne by the Client.

The Lessor reserves the right to refuse any handover or dispatch in the event of incomplete payment.

Transfer of risk shall occur:

either upon handover of the Item to the Client;
or upon handover to the carrier.

From such transfer and until effective return, the Client shall assume physical custody and legal custody of the Item.

10. Receipt of the Items

The Client must inspect the apparent condition of the Items upon receipt.

Any reservation, anomaly, apparent non-conformity, visible defect or observed damage must be reported in writing to Judassime within 48 hours of receipt, together with any useful supporting evidence, in particular photographs.

After this period, the Items shall be deemed received in conformity, complete and in good apparent condition.

11. Use of the Items

The Client undertakes to:

use the Items in accordance with their intended purpose;
take care of them with all due care and diligence;
respect the universe, fragility and value of the semi-couture pieces made available;
not expose them to conditions manifestly incompatible with their nature.

It is strictly prohibited to:

modify, alter, resize, pin in an invasive manner or otherwise alter the Items;
lend, sublet, assign or hand over the Item to a third party without the Lessor’s prior written consent;
use the Item in an unlawful, degrading, dangerous context or in a manner contrary to Judassime’s image.

The Client shall incur both contractual and tortious liability in the event of breach.

12. Care and Prohibition of Intervention

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, care of the Items shall be carried out exclusively by Judassime or by any service provider appointed by it.

Any unauthorised intervention is prohibited, in particular:

cleaning;
washing;
dry cleaning;
ironing;
alteration;
repair;
sewing;
gluing;
stain removal.

In the event of a stain, incident, accident, damage or doubt as to the condition of the Item, the Client undertakes to contact Judassime immediately and to comply strictly with the instructions given.

Any breach of this clause may give rise to full compensation.

13. Return of the Items

The Client undertakes to return the Items within the time limit, in accordance with the arrangements and at the place agreed in the Agreement.

The Items must be returned complete, together with all their components, accessories, ornaments, fastenings, linings, detachable parts, covers or packaging provided where applicable.

The Client shall remain responsible until effective return to Judassime or to the carrier expressly accepted for the return.

Any incomplete, non-compliant or late return may give rise to additional invoicing.

14. Late Return

Any late return shall give rise, without prior formal notice, to:

a penalty of 20% of the rental price per day of delay;
and, where applicable, any financial consequence linked to the unavailability of the Item for another booking.

Any delay caused by transport failure on the part of the company handling the return may exempt the Client from liability, but only where transparent communication and proof of dispatch are provided.

Beyond 5 days of delay, excluding return transport issues, Judassime reserves the right to invoice the full replacement value of the Item or to initiate any appropriate proceedings.

15. Client’s Liability – Loss, Theft, Damage

The Client shall have legal custody of the Items throughout the rental period.

The Client shall be liable for any damage, loss, theft, disappearance, substitution, alteration or deterioration, whatever the cause, except for normal wear and tear as strictly assessed by Judassime.

16. Insurance

The exact amount refundable, if any, may be specified in the special conditions agreed between the Parties.

Judassime reserves the right to cancel a booking in the event of force majeure, unforeseeable unavailability of the Item, manifest risk to the integrity of the piece or breach by the Client of its obligations.

19. Force Majeure

The Client undertakes to:

inform the Lessor of the intended use;

obtain the necessary authorisations;
comply with any restriction communicated by Judassime.

Any commercial, advertising, editorial, promotional or similar use may require separate prior written authorisation.

21. Image Rights and Communication

Unless the Client has objected beforehand in writing, Judassime may use images of the Items worn or staged for promotional, editorial or brand communication purposes, in compliance with the GDPR and individual rights.

Where the image of the Client or of any identifiable third party is used, Judassime may require the execution of a specific image rights authorisation.

They may be protected in particular by:

copyright;
