In terms of price and promotions, we don’t allow the following on our platform:
- Charging customers additional shipping costs;
- Charging customers return costs;
- Carrying a higher price on bol than on your own webshop, corrected for shipping costs;
- Making price agreements;
- Promotions on medicines;
- Unfair promotion by keeping the price artificially high in the first place only to then reduce the price and have a ‘promotion’;
- Offer a second-hand item that is more expensive (including shipping costs and excluding service charge) than the new item in the buy box;
- Violating the rules on volume discounts;
- Sending a discount code for your own webshop to customers;
- Running a promotion outside the sale weeks (solden). Please note that this only applies to Belgian partners or partners registered in Belgium.
Additional rules for Belgium
In Belgium, additional rules apply:
- There are legal conditions for bargain periods (solden/sale);
- Items can be sold twice a year at heavily discounted prices;
- Those periods are defined by law;
- Additional rules apply to the clothing, leather goods and footwear product categories;
- All information on this can be found on the Belgian government’s website.
Protecting customers from usurious prices
To protect our customers from usurious prices and prevent extreme price increases, we apply stricter price rules to some product groups.
