If this is not reasonably possible, it shall be indicated, prior to the conclusion of the distance contract, that the General Terms and Conditions are available for inspection at the entrepreneur’s premises and that they will be sent to the consumer free of charge as soon as possible upon request.
  3. If the distance contract is concluded electronically, then, in deviation from the previous paragraph and before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these General Terms and Conditions may be made available to the consumer by electronic means in such a way that the consumer can easily store them on a durable medium. If this is not reasonably possible, it shall be indicated where the General Terms and Conditions can be accessed electronically and that they will be sent to the consumer free of charge, either electronically or by other means, upon request.
  4. In the event that, in addition to these General Terms and Conditions, specific product or service conditions also apply, the second and third paragraphs shall apply accordingly, and in the event of conflicting conditions, the consumer may always rely on the applicable provision that is most favorable to them.

If one or more provisions of these General Terms and Conditions are at any time wholly or partially void or annulled, the agreement and these terms and conditions shall otherwise remain in force, and the relevant provision shall be replaced by mutual agreement as soon as possible with a provision that approximates the intent of the original as closely as possible.

Article 4 – The Offer

  1. If an offer has a limited period of validity or is made subject to conditions, this shall be explicitly stated in the offer.
  2. The offer is non-binding. The entrepreneur is entitled to modify and adjust the offer.
  3. The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products and/or services offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to enable the consumer to make a proper assessment of the offer. If the entrepreneur uses images, these are a truthful representation of the products and/or services offered. Obvious mistakes or errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.
  4. All images, specifications, and data included in the offer are indicative and cannot give rise to compensation or the dissolution of the distance contract.
  5. Images of products are a truthful representation of the products offered. The entrepreneur cannot guarantee that the colors displayed exactly match the actual colors of the products.
  6. Each offer contains such information that it is clear to the consumer what rights and obligations are attached to the acceptance of the offer. This includes in particular:
    • the price including taxes;
    • any shipping costs;
    • the manner in which the distance contract will be concluded and which actions are required for this;
    • whether or not the right of withdrawal applies;
    • the method of payment, delivery, and execution of the distance contract;
    • the period for accepting the offer, or the period within which the entrepreneur guarantees the price;
    • the rate for distance communication if the costs of using the means of distance communication are calculated on a basis other than the regular base rate for the communication method used;
    • whether the distance contract will be archived after its conclusion, and if so, how it can be accessed by the consumer;
    • the way in which the consumer can check and, if desired, correct the information provided in the context of the distance contract before concluding it;
    • any other languages in which, in addition to Dutch, the distance contract can be concluded;

    • the minimum duration of the distance contract in the case of a long-term transaction.

 

Article 5 – The Agreement

  1. The distance contract is concluded, subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, at the moment the consumer accepts the offer and meets the conditions set out therein.
  2. If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the entrepreneur shall promptly confirm receipt of the acceptance of the offer by electronic means. As long as the entrepreneur has not confirmed this acceptance, the consumer may dissolve the distance contract.
  3. If the distance contract is concluded electronically, the entrepreneur shall take appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure the electronic transmission of data and shall ensure a secure web environment. If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur shall observe appropriate security measures for that purpose.
  4. The entrepreneur may, within the limits of the law, obtain information about whether the consumer can meet their payment obligations, as well as all facts and factors relevant to responsibly entering into the distance contract. If, based on this investigation, the entrepreneur has good grounds not to enter into the distance contract, they are entitled to refuse an order or request with reasons, or to attach special conditions to its execution.
  5. The entrepreneur shall provide the following information to the consumer, in writing or in such a way that the consumer can store it in an accessible manner on a durable medium, with the product or service:

  9. In the case of a long-term transaction, the provision in the previous paragraph applies only to the first delivery.

Article 6 – Right of Withdrawal

For the delivery of products:

  1. When purchasing products, the consumer has the right to dissolve the distance contract without giving any reason within a period of 14 days. This cooling-off period starts on the day after the consumer, or a third party designated in advance by the consumer and made known to the entrepreneur, receives the product.
  2. During the cooling-off period, the consumer shall handle the product and its packaging with care. The consumer shall only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to determine whether they wish to keep the product. If the consumer exercises their right of withdrawal, they shall return the product with all delivered accessories and – if reasonably possible – in its original condition and packaging to the entrepreneur, in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.
  3. If the consumer wishes to exercise their right of withdrawal, they are required to notify the entrepreneur within 14 days after receiving the product. Notification must be made using the model withdrawal form or by another means of communication, such as email. After notifying the entrepreneur of their intention to exercise the right of withdrawal, the consumer must return the product within 14 days. The consumer must provide proof that the product was returned on time, for example by means of a proof of shipment.
  4. If the consumer has not notified the entrepreneur of their intention to exercise the right of withdrawal within the periods specified in paragraphs 2 and 3, or has not returned the product to the entrepreneur, the purchase is final.

For the delivery of services:

  1. In the case of service delivery, the consumer has the right to dissolve the distance contract without giving any reason for at least 14 days, starting from the day the distance contract is concluded.
  2. To exercise the right of withdrawal, the consumer shall follow the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur at the time of the offer and/or at the latest upon delivery.

 

Article 7 – Costs in Case of Withdrawal

  1. If the consumer exercises their right of withdrawal, they shall bear no more than the cost of returning the product.
  2. If the consumer has paid an amount, the entrepreneur shall refund this amount as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after the withdrawal. This is subject to the condition that the product has already been received by the entrepreneur or that conclusive proof of complete return has been provided. Refunds shall be made using the same payment method that the consumer used, unless the consumer explicitly agrees to a different method of payment.
  3. If the product is damaged due to careless handling by the consumer, the consumer is liable for any depreciation in value of the product.
  4. The consumer cannot be held liable for depreciation in value of the product if the entrepreneur has not provided all legally required information regarding the right of withdrawal prior to the conclusion of the distance contract.

 

Article 8 – Exclusion of the Right of Withdrawal

  1. The entrepreneur may exclude the consumer’s right of withdrawal for products as described in paragraphs 2 and 3. The exclusion of the right of withdrawal is only valid if the entrepreneur has clearly stated this in the offer, or at least in good time before the conclusion of the distance contract.

    • that have been manufactured by the entrepreneur according to specifications provided by the consumer;
    • that are clearly personal in nature;
    • that, by their nature, cannot be returned;
    • that spoil or age quickly;
    • whose price is subject to fluctuations in the financial market over which the entrepreneur has no influence;
    • that consist of individual newspapers or magazines;
    • that are audio or video recordings or computer software whose seal has been broken by the consumer;
    • that are hygienic products whose seal has been broken by the consumer.
  3. Exclusion of the right of withdrawal is only possible for services:
    • relating to accommodation, transport, restaurant services, or leisure activities to be carried out on a specific date or during a specific period;
    • whose delivery has begun with the express consent of the consumer before the cooling-off period has expired;
    • relating to betting and lotteries.

 

Article 9 – The Price

  1. During the validity period stated in the offer, the prices of the products and/or services offered shall not be increased, except for price changes resulting from changes in VAT rates.
  2. In deviation from the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur may offer products or services with variable prices if these are subject to fluctuations in the financial market over which the entrepreneur has no influence. This dependence on fluctuations and the fact that any listed prices are target prices shall be stated in the offer.
  3. Price increases within 3 months after the conclusion of the distance contract are only permitted if they result from statutory regulations or provisions.
  4. Price increases from 3 months after the conclusion of the distance contract are only permitted if the entrepreneur has stipulated this and:
    • they are the result of statutory regulations or provisions; or
    • the consumer has the right to terminate the distance contract as of the day on which the price increase takes effect.
  5. The prices stated in the offer of products or services include VAT.
  6. All prices are subject to printing and typographical errors. No liability is accepted for the consequences of printing and typographical errors. In the event of such errors, the entrepreneur is not obliged to deliver the product at the incorrect price.

 

Article 10 – Conformity and Warranty

  1. The entrepreneur guarantees that the products and/or services comply with the distance contract, the specifications stated in the offer, the reasonable requirements of soundness and/or usability, and the legal provisions and/or government regulations existing on the date the distance contract was concluded. If agreed upon, the entrepreneur also guarantees that the product is suitable for use other than normal use.
  2. Any warranty provided by the entrepreneur, manufacturer, or importer does not affect the legal rights and claims that the consumer may assert against the entrepreneur under the distance contract.
  3. Any defects or incorrectly delivered products must be reported to the entrepreneur in writing within 2 months after discovery of the defect.
  4. The warranty period provided by the entrepreneur corresponds to the manufacturer’s warranty period. However, the entrepreneur is never responsible for the ultimate suitability of the products for each individual application by the consumer, nor for any advice regarding the use or application of the products.
  5. The warranty does not apply if:
    • the consumer has repaired and/or modified the delivered products themselves or has had them repaired and/or modified by third parties;
    • the delivered products have been exposed to abnormal conditions or have otherwise been handled carelessly or contrary to the instructions of the entrepreneur and/or the packaging;
    • the defect is wholly or partially the result of regulations imposed or to be imposed by the government regarding the nature or quality of the materials used.

 

Article 11 – Delivery and Execution

  1. The entrepreneur shall exercise the utmost care when receiving and executing orders for products and when assessing requests for the provision of services.
  2. The place of delivery shall be the address that the consumer has made known to the entrepreneur.
  3. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 of this article, the entrepreneur shall execute accepted orders with due speed but at the latest within 30 days, unless the consumer has agreed to a longer delivery period. If delivery is delayed, or if an order cannot be fulfilled or can only be partially fulfilled, the consumer shall be informed of this no later than 30 days after placing the order. In such cases, the consumer has the right to dissolve the distance contract at no cost. The consumer is not entitled to compensation.
  4. All delivery times are indicative. The consumer cannot derive any rights from any stated periods. Exceeding a delivery period does not entitle the consumer to compensation.
  5. In the event of dissolution in accordance with paragraph 3 of this article, the entrepreneur shall refund the amount paid by the consumer as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after the dissolution.
  6. If delivery of an ordered product proves to be impossible, the entrepreneur shall make every effort to provide a replacement item. At the latest upon delivery, it shall be clearly and comprehensibly stated that a replacement item is being delivered. The right of withdrawal cannot be excluded for replacement items. The costs of any return shipment are borne by the entrepreneur.
