Article 3 - Applicability

These general terms and conditions apply to every offer from the entrepreneur and to every distance agreement concluded between the entrepreneur and the consumer.
Before the distance agreement is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions will be made available to the consumer. If this is not reasonably possible, the entrepreneur will indicate before the distance agreement is concluded how the general terms and conditions can be viewed at the entrepreneur’s premises and that they will be sent free of charge as soon as possible at the consumer's request.
If the distance agreement is concluded electronically, in deviation from the previous paragraph, the text of these general terms and conditions can be made available to the consumer electronically in such a way that the consumer can easily store them on a durable medium. If this is not reasonably possible, it will be indicated before the distance agreement is concluded where the general terms and conditions can be accessed electronically and that they will be sent electronically or otherwise free of charge at the consumer's request.
In cases where specific product or service terms and conditions apply in addition to these general terms and conditions, the second and third paragraphs apply accordingly, and the consumer can always invoke the most favorable applicable provision in case of conflicting terms and conditions.
If one or more provisions in these general terms and conditions at any time are wholly or partially void or annulled, the agreement and these terms and conditions remain valid for the rest, and the relevant provision will be replaced in mutual consultation without delay by a provision that approaches the intent of the original as closely as possible.
Situations not covered by these general terms and conditions should be assessed 'in the spirit' of these general terms and conditions.
Any ambiguities about the interpretation or content of one or more provisions of our terms and conditions should be explained 'in the spirit' of these general terms and conditions.

Article 4 - The Offer

If an offer has a limited validity period or is made under certain conditions, this will be explicitly stated in the offer.
The offer is non-binding. The entrepreneur is entitled to change and adapt the offer.
The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the offered products and/or services. The description is sufficiently detailed to allow a proper assessment of the offer by the consumer. If the entrepreneur uses images, these are a true representation of the offered products and/or services. Obvious mistakes or errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.
All images, specifications, and data in the offer are indicative and cannot be a reason for compensation or termination of the agreement.
Images of products are a true representation of the offered products. The entrepreneur cannot guarantee that the displayed colors exactly match the actual colors of the products.
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 concerns in particular:

  • the price including taxes;
  • any shipping costs;
  • the manner in which the agreement will be concluded and what actions are required for this;
  • whether or not the right of withdrawal is applicable;
  • the method of payment, delivery, and execution of the agreement;
  • the period for accepting the offer or the period within which the entrepreneur guarantees the price;
  • the amount of the tariff for distance communication if the costs of using the technology for distance communication are calculated on a different basis than the regular base rate for the used communication means;
  • whether the agreement is archived after its conclusion, and if so, how the consumer can consult it;
  • the way in which the consumer can check the data provided by them under the agreement and, if desired, correct them before the conclusion of the agreement;
  • any other languages in which, besides Dutch, the agreement can be concluded;
  • the codes of conduct to which the entrepreneur has subjected themselves and the way in which the consumer can consult these codes of conduct electronically; and
  • the minimum duration of the distance agreement in case of a duration transaction.

Article 5 - The Agreement

The agreement is concluded, subject to the provisions in paragraph 4, at the moment of acceptance by the consumer of the offer and compliance with the corresponding conditions.
If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the entrepreneur will immediately confirm electronically the receipt of the acceptance of the offer. As long as the receipt of this acceptance has not been confirmed by the entrepreneur, the consumer can terminate the agreement.
If the agreement is concluded electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure the electronic transfer of data and ensure a secure web environment. If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur will observe appropriate security measures.
The entrepreneur can, within the legal framework, inform whether the consumer can meet their payment obligations, as well as all those facts and factors that are important for a responsible conclusion of the distance agreement. If the entrepreneur, based on this investigation, has good reasons not to enter into the agreement, they are entitled to refuse an order or request or to attach special conditions to the execution.
The entrepreneur will send the following information to the consumer with the product or service, in writing or in such a way that the consumer can store it in an accessible manner on a durable medium:

  • the visiting address of the entrepreneur's business where the consumer can go with complaints;
  • the conditions under which and the way in which the consumer can use the right of withdrawal, or a clear statement regarding the exclusion of the right of withdrawal;
  • the information about existing after-sales services and guarantees;
  • the data included in article 4, paragraph 3 of these conditions, unless the entrepreneur has already provided this information to the consumer before the execution of the agreement;
  • the requirements for terminating the agreement if the agreement has a duration of more than one year or is of indefinite duration.

In case of a duration transaction, the provision in the previous paragraph only applies to the first delivery.
Every agreement is entered into under the suspensive conditions of sufficient availability of the products concerned.

Article 6 - Right of Withdrawal

Upon delivery of products:

  • When purchasing products, the consumer has the possibility to dissolve the agreement without giving reasons for 14 days. This cooling-off period commences on the day after receipt of the product by the consumer or a pre-designated representative of the consumer made known to the entrepreneur.
  • During the cooling-off period, the consumer will handle the product and packaging with care. They will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to assess whether they wish to retain the product. If they exercise their right of withdrawal, they will return the product with all supplied accessories and, if reasonably possible, in the original condition and packaging to the entrepreneur, in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.
  • If the consumer wishes to exercise their right of withdrawal, they are obliged to notify the entrepreneur within 14 days of receipt of the product. The consumer must make this known using the model withdrawal form. After the consumer has indicated that they wish to exercise their right of withdrawal, they must return the product within 14 days. The consumer must prove that the delivered goods were returned on time, for example through a proof of shipment.
  • If the consumer has not made known after the periods mentioned in paragraphs 2 and 3 that they wish to exercise their right of withdrawal or has not returned the product to the entrepreneur, the purchase is a fact.

Article 7 - Costs in Case of Withdrawal

If the consumer exercises their right of withdrawal, the costs of return shipment will be borne by the consumer.
If the consumer has paid an amount, the entrepreneur will 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 back by the online retailer or conclusive proof of complete return can be presented. Reimbursement will be made using the same payment method used by the consumer unless the consumer explicitly agrees to another payment method.

Article 8 - Exclusion of the Right of Withdrawal

The entrepreneur can exclude the consumer's right of withdrawal for products as described in paragraphs 2 and 3. The exclusion of the right of withdrawal applies only if the entrepreneur has clearly stated this in the offer, at least in time for the conclusion of the agreement.
Exclusion of the right of withdrawal is only possible for products:

  • that have been created by the entrepreneur in accordance with the consumer's specifications;
  • that are clearly personal in nature;
  • that cannot be returned due to their nature;
  • that can spoil or age quickly;
  • the price of which is subject to fluctuations in the financial market over which the entrepreneur has no influence;
  • for individual newspapers and magazines;
  • for audio and video recordings and computer software of which the consumer has broken the seal;
  • for hygienic products of which the consumer has broken the seal.

Exclusion of the right of withdrawal is only possible for services:

  • regarding accommodation, transport, restaurant services, or leisure activities to be performed on a specific date or during a specific period;
  • the supply of which has begun with the consumer's explicit consent before the cooling-off period has expired;
  • concerning betting and lotteries.

Article 9 - The Price

During the validity period stated in the offer, the prices of the offered products and/or services will not be increased, except for price changes due to changes in VAT rates.
In deviation from the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur can offer products or services with variable prices, which are subject to fluctuations in the financial market and over which the entrepreneur has no influence. This link to fluctuations and the fact that any stated prices are target prices are mentioned in the offer.
Price increases within 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if they are the result of statutory regulations or provisions.
Price increases from 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if the entrepreneur has stipulated this and:

  • they are the result of statutory regulations or provisions; or
  • the consumer has the authority to terminate the agreement on the day on which the price increase takes effect.

The prices mentioned in the offer of products or services include VAT.
All prices are subject to printing and typesetting errors. No liability is accepted for the consequences of printing and typesetting errors. In case of printing and typesetting errors, the entrepreneur is not obliged to deliver the product according to the incorrect price.

Article 10 - Conformity and Warranty

The entrepreneur guarantees that the products and/or services comply with the agreement, the specifications stated in the offer, the reasonable requirements of reliability and/or usability, and the legal provisions and/or government regulations existing on the date of the conclusion of the agreement. If agreed, the entrepreneur also guarantees that the product is suitable for other than normal use.
A warranty provided by the entrepreneur, manufacturer, or importer does not affect the legal rights and claims that the consumer can assert against the entrepreneur under the agreement.
Any defects or incorrectly delivered products must be reported in writing to the entrepreneur within 2 months after delivery. Return of the products must be in the original packaging and in new condition.
The warranty period of 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.
The warranty does not apply if:

  • the consumer has repaired and/or modified the delivered products themselves or had them repaired and/or modified by third parties;
  • the delivered products are exposed to abnormal conditions or otherwise treated carelessly or contrary to the instructions of the entrepreneur and/or on the packaging;
  • the defect is wholly or partially the result of regulations that the government has set or will set with regard to the nature or quality of the materials used.

Article 11 - Delivery and Execution

The entrepreneur will take the greatest possible care when receiving and executing orders for products and when assessing applications for the provision of services.
The place of delivery is the address that the consumer has made known to the company.
With due observance of what is stated in paragraph 4 of this article, the company will execute accepted orders with competent speed but at the latest within 30 days unless a different delivery period has been agreed. If the delivery is delayed or if an order cannot or can only partially be executed, the consumer will be notified of this no later than 30 days after placing the order. In that case, the consumer has the right to terminate the agreement without costs. The consumer is not entitled to compensation.
All delivery periods are indicative. The consumer cannot derive any rights from any stated periods. Exceeding a period does not entitle the consumer to compensation.
In the event of termination in accordance with paragraph 3 of this article, the entrepreneur will refund the amount paid by the consumer as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after termination.
If delivery of an ordered product turns out to be impossible, the entrepreneur will strive to make a replacement item available. At the latest upon delivery, it will be clearly and comprehensibly stated that a replacement item is being delivered. For replacement items, the right of withdrawal cannot be excluded. The costs of any return shipment will be borne by the entrepreneur.
The risk of damage and/or loss of products rests with the entrepreneur until the moment of delivery to the consumer or a pre-designated representative made known to the entrepreneur, unless explicitly agreed otherwise.

Duration:

  • If an agreement has a duration of more than one year, the consumer may terminate the agreement at any time after one year with a notice period not exceeding one month unless reasonableness and fairness dictate otherwise.

Article 13 - Payment

Unless otherwise agreed, the amounts owed by the consumer must be paid within 7 working days after the start of the cooling-off period as referred to in article 6, paragraph 1. In case of an agreement to provide a service, this period commences after the consumer has received confirmation of the agreement.
The consumer has the duty to report inaccuracies in provided or stated payment details to the entrepreneur without delay.
In case of non-payment by the consumer, the entrepreneur has the right, subject to legal restrictions, to charge the reasonable costs made known to the consumer in advance.

Article 14 - Complaints Procedure

The entrepreneur has a sufficiently publicized complaints procedure and handles the complaint in accordance with this complaints procedure.
Complaints about the execution of the agreement must be submitted fully and clearly described to the entrepreneur within 7 days after the consumer has discovered the defects.
Complaints submitted to the entrepreneur will be answered within a period of 14 days from the date of receipt. If a complaint requires a foreseeable longer processing time, the entrepreneur will respond within the period of 14 days with a notice of receipt and an indication when the consumer can expect a more detailed answer.
If the complaint cannot be resolved in mutual consultation, a dispute arises that is subject to the dispute resolution procedure.
In case of complaints, a consumer must first turn to the entrepreneur. If the web store is affiliated with Stichting WebwinkelKeur and complaints that cannot be resolved in mutual consultation, the consumer must turn to Stichting WebwinkelKeur (www.webwinkelkeur.nl), it will mediate for free. If a solution is not yet reached, the consumer has the option to have their complaint handled by the independent dispute committee appointed by Stichting WebwinkelKeur, the decision is binding and both the entrepreneur and the consumer agree to this binding decision. The submission of a dispute to this dispute committee is associated with costs that the consumer must pay to the relevant committee. It is also possible to file complaints via the European ODR platform (http://ec.europa.eu/odr).
A complaint does not suspend the obligations of the entrepreneur unless the entrepreneur indicates otherwise in writing.
If a complaint is found to be well-founded by the entrepreneur, the entrepreneur will, at its option, replace or repair the delivered products free of charge.

Article 15 - Disputes

Agreements between the entrepreneur and the consumer to which these general terms and conditions relate are exclusively governed by Dutch law. Even if the consumer resides abroad.
