4. Retailer area

Retailers of Vlieseline® products can register on the retailer portal on this website.

Listing goods other than Vlieseline® products is not permitted.

Registration and user account

A user account is set up during the registration process. The retailer account is automatically approved and activated once the customer number has been requested during registration. Registration and activation are not possible without providing the customer number. However, activation by Vlieseline® is not guaranteed. Please note that registration is only open to active resellers of Vlieseline® goods or actual retailers with a customer number. When registering, the retailer undertakes to provide truthful information. They are responsible for keeping their access data confidential and are liable for all activities carried out under their user data, as well as for the information they provide. If the retailer becomes aware that third parties are misusing their user data, they must inform Vlieseline® immediately.

Vlieseline® reserves the right to revoke access authorisation at any time by blocking the access data, without having to give reasons, particularly if the retailer

  • provides false information when registering,
  • violates these terms and conditions or its duty of care in handling the access data; or
  • has violated applicable law when accessing or using the website.

At the retailer's request, Vlieseline® will delete the transmitted data and the user account without delay.

It is also the sole responsibility of the retailer to ensure that the data in their user account is kept up to date at all times.
