1. About Us and Our Products
SuperheldenHulphond.nl is a webshop specialising in products for assistance dogs and their handlers.
We offer carefully selected and handcrafted items with a strong focus on safety, visibility, and comfort.
Many products are handmade. This means each item is unique and may contain small variations or minor imperfections, which do not affect usability or quality.
Our mission: practical, beautiful, and affordable — and ideally, small enough to fit in your pocket.
2. Safety and Use
You are always responsible for the correct and safe use of our products, including halter connectors, bandanas, medication pouches and other functional items.
Our products do not serve as legal certification or access credentials, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Avoid contact with soil, sand, or salt. Water is generally not a problem, but please dry and clean the product after use.
Handwash with mild soap is recommended. Machine washing and tumble drying are discouraged.
Some materials may melt at high temperatures.
If applicable, lubricate moving metal parts occasionally with a drop of household oil.
3. Questions and Custom Solutions
Do you have specific needs or questions? We’re happy to think along.
We regularly assist with:
-
Adjustments to existing products
-
Extension pieces for harnesses
-
Labels and patch options
-
Tailoring or adapting capes and vests
Customisation is often possible by request.
4. Privacy
We handle your personal data with care:
-
Your data is only used to process your order and will never be shared with third parties, unless legally required.
-
Photos you share with us (e.g. via email or social media) may be used on our website, platforms, or in promotional material — unless you request otherwise at the time of submission.
-
Where possible, we anonymise images.
-
If you wish to remain anonymous or don’t want your photo shared at all, just let us know.
-
We only use respectful, appropriate images and never publish names or details without your explicit consent.
5. Visits by Appointment
In-person visits are occasionally possible by appointment — for example, to discuss customisation or view specific items.
Please note: this is a private home, not a public storefront.
6. Gifts and Discounts
-
Free gifts and discount offers are non-binding and may vary.
-
A maximum of one free gift per order applies.
-
We rarely offer discounts, as our prices are already kept as low as sustainably possible.
-
No rights can be derived from previous actions or extras.
7. Ordering and Payment
-
Orders are placed through our webshop.
-
Payment is possible via iDEAL or other listed payment methods.

If anything goes wrong, just contact us — we’ll help.
By placing an order, you agree to these terms and conditions.
SuperheldenHulphond reserves the right to terminate a customer relationship at any time if mutual trust or respectful cooperation is lacking.
8. Delivery Time, Shipping and International Orders
We aim to ship orders within 3–7 business days, unless otherwise stated on the product page.
Custom or personalised items may take longer — this will be communicated in advance.
📦 Shipping within the Netherlands, Belgium, and Europe (Zone 1 & 2)
Shipping costs are automatically calculated at checkout.
You will see the fee based on your location before completing your order.
After shipment, you will receive a confirmation email (with tracking, where applicable).
🌍 Shipping outside Europe (Rest of World)
We offer shipping to selected countries outside the EU. However, shipping costs for these destinations are not calculated during checkout.

You can complete your order as usual.
-
After reviewing your order and location, we will manually calculate the correct shipping cost.

You will receive a separate payment request.

Your order will only be shipped after this additional payment has been completed.

🧾 Customs, Import Duties and Additional Charges
-
For shipments outside the Netherlands, your country may charge customs fees, VAT, import duties, or handling charges.
-
These fees are not included in our product or shipping prices.
-
As the buyer, you are responsible for all such local costs.
-
We cannot predict, reduce, or reimburse these fees.
We comply with postal regulations and do not mark orders as gifts or understate the value.
💬 Not received your order within the expected delivery window? Contact us — we’ll help track it or offer a fair solution.
9. Returns and Right of Withdrawal

For standard products, the statutory right of withdrawal applies:
You may cancel and return your order within 14 days of receipt, without giving a reason. -
Personalised or custom-made products are excluded from this right — unless the product is faulty or not as described.

Items must be returned in their original condition and packaging.
-
Once received and inspected, we will refund the purchase amount within 14 days.

Return shipping is at your own expense, unless the return is due to our error.

Wear and tear, incorrect use, or poor maintenance are not covered.
-
Please report complaints preferably within 14 days of discovering the problem to superheldenhulphond@gmail.com.

Later reports will still be handled if the issue wasn’t visible earlier.
We always aim to find a fair solution.
