Safety gates

Naturally, we want customers who buy through bol to continue to do so - and so it is important to offer them a reliable and safe range together. Therefore, additional sales conditions apply to certain product groups and in some cases, there is a brand policy for selective distribution. Find out whether this also applies to your range on this page.

As a result, it is no longer permitted to sell unbranded items in this category. To offer a brand, both the items and the associated content must comply with the brand guidelines. More information about these guidelines can be found on this page.

Is the brand you want to sell included in the list of approved brands below?

Then you do not need sales rights to sell this brand. This brand has already been checked and may be offered within this category.

If the brand you want to sell within this product category is not in the list above, you must first apply for sales rights. Only after approval may you offer the brand within this category. Sales rights can only be requested if the brand meets the following conditions:

• The EAN is registered in the name of the brand owner and with GS1.
• The brand is registered with BOIP (or EUIPO/WIPO).
• The registration is valid in the Netherlands and Belgium.
• The brand is registered in the correct product class. Your brand must be registered for a product class lower than 35. Product classes 35 to 45 are only valid for services and not for goods. So, make sure your brand is registered for the correct class, which must be lower than 35.
• The item must also be registered in this class with the correct goods specified.
• The brand name and/or brand logo must be on the item and/or the original packaging.
• The branded item complies with the NEN-EN 19:30-2011 standard.
• The content complies with the guidelines.
• The brand must comply with the above points from the moment the item is added via bol.

Enter the brand name in the designated field when entering the content. This must be done in text, even if the brand is registered exclusively as a logo. It is not permitted to use a brand name that is not registered with BOIP, as no rights can be derived from it.
