Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
This article explains Belgian consumer rights regarding unpaid invoices. If a seller or company forgets to send an invoice, the consumer is not obligated to notify them. For everyday consumer goods, a merchant has up to 1 year after sale or delivery to demand payment, after which the debt expires. Commercial lawyer Steven De Grave explains the statute of limitations for different types of debts, clarifying when consumers are legally off the hook for forgotten bills.
