Article 4 - The offer
If an offer has a limited period of validity or is made subject to conditions, this will be expressly stated in the offer.
The offer is without obligation. The entrepreneur is entitled to change and adapt the offer.
The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products and/or services offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to enable a proper assessment of the offer by the consumer. If the entrepreneur uses images these are a true reflection of the products and / or services offered. Obvious mistakes or obvious errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.
All images, specifications and data in the offer are indicative and can not lead to compensation or dissolution of the agreement.
Images of products are a true representation of the products offered. Operator can not guarantee that the displayed colors exactly match the real colors of the products.
Each offer contains such information that it is clear to the consumer what the rights and obligations are, which are attached to the acceptance of the offer. This concerns in particular:
The price, excluding customs clearance costs and import VAT. These additional costs will be at the customer's expense and risk. The postal and/or courier service will use the special regulation for postal and courier services with regard to imports. This regulation applies if the goods are imported into the EU country of destination, which is the case in the present case. The postal and/or courier service collects the VAT (whether or not together with the customs clearance fees charged) from the recipient of the goods;
any shipping costs;
the manner in which the contract will be concluded and what actions are required for that purpose;
whether or not the right of withdrawal is applicable;
the method of payment, delivery and performance of the agreement;
the period for accepting the offer, or the period within which the entrepreneur guarantees the price;
the amount of the rate of distance communication if the costs of using the technique for distance communication are calculated on a basis other than the regular basic rate for the means of communication used;
whether the agreement is archived after its conclusion, and if so in what way it can be consulted by the consumer;
the way in which the consumer, before the conclusion of the agreement, can check the data provided by him in the context of the agreement and, if desired, restore them;
any languages other than Dutch in which the contract can be concluded;
the codes of conduct to which the trader is subject and the way in which the consumer can consult these codes of conduct electronically; and
the minimum duration of the distance contract in case of a duration transaction.
Optional: available sizes, colors, type of materials.
Article 5 - The agreement
The agreement, subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, is concluded at the moment of acceptance by the consumer of the offer and the fulfillment of the conditions thereby set.
If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the trader will immediately confirm receipt of acceptance of the offer electronically. As long as the receipt of this acceptance has not been confirmed by the entrepreneur, the consumer can dissolve the agreement.
If the agreement is concluded electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect 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 may - within legal frameworks - inform himself whether the consumer can meet his payment obligations, as well as all those facts and factors that are important for a responsible conclusion of the distance contract. If, on the basis of this investigation, the entrepreneur has good grounds not to enter into the agreement, he is entitled to refuse an order or application or to attach special conditions to the implementation, while giving reasons.
The entrepreneur will include the following information with the product or service to the consumer, in writing or in such a way that it can be stored by the consumer in an accessible way on a durable data carrier:
the visiting address of the establishment of the entrepreneur where the consumer can go with complaints;
the conditions under which and the way in which the consumer can make use of the right of withdrawal, or a clear notification regarding the exclusion of the right of withdrawal;
the information on guarantees and existing after-sales service;
the data included in article 4 paragraph 3 of these conditions, unless the entrepreneur has already provided the consumer with these data before the execution of the agreement;
the requirements for termination of 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 applies only to the first delivery.
Each agreement is entered into under the suspensive conditions of sufficient availability of the relevant products.
Article 6 - Right of withdrawal
When purchasing products, the consumer has the possibility of dissolving the agreement without giving reasons for 14 days. This cooling-off period starts on the day after receipt of the product by the consumer or a representative designated in advance by the consumer and made known to the entrepreneur.
During the reflection period, the consumer will handle the product and packaging with care. He will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to assess whether he wishes to keep the product. If he exercises his right of withdrawal, he will return the product to the entrepreneur with all accessories supplied and - if reasonably possible - in its original condition and packaging, in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.
If the consumer wishes to use his right of withdrawal, he is obliged to make this known to the entrepreneur within 14 days, after receipt of the product. The consumer must make this known by means of a written message/email. After the consumer has made it known that he wants to use his right of withdrawal, the customer must return the product within 14 days. The consumer must prove that the delivered goods have been returned in time, for example by means of a proof of shipment.
If the customer has not expressed his intention to use his right of withdrawal or has not returned the product to the entrepreneur after the expiration of the periods mentioned in paragraphs 2 and 3, the purchase is a fact.
Article 7 - Costs in case of withdrawal
If the consumer uses his right of withdrawal, the costs of returning the products are for the consumer's account.
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 entrepreneur or conclusive evidence of complete return can be presented.
Article 8 - Exclusion of 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 contract.
Exclusion of the right of withdrawal is only possible for products
that have been created by the entrepreneur according to specifications of the consumer;
that are clearly personal in nature;
Which by their nature can not be returned;
Which spoil or age quickly;
whose price is subject to fluctuations in the financial market that are beyond the Entrepreneur's control;
For individual newspapers and magazines;
for audio and video recordings and computer software of which the consumer has broken the seal.
for hygiene products of which the consumer has broken the seal.
Exclusion of the right of withdrawal is only possible for services
concerning accommodation, transportation, restaurant business or leisure activities to be performed on a certain date or during a certain period;
Of which the delivery has started with the express consent of the consumer before the withdrawal period has expired;
Concerning betting and lotteries.
Article 9 - The price
During the validity period stated in the offer, the prices of the products and/or services offered will not be increased, except for price changes due to changes in VAT rates.
Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur can offer products or services whose prices are subject to fluctuations in the financial market and over which the entrepreneur has no influence, with variable prices. This link to fluctuations and the fact that any prices mentioned are target prices will be mentioned in the offer.
Price increases within 3 months after the conclusion of the contract are only allowed if they result from legal regulations or provisions.
Price increases from 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only allowed if the entrepreneur has stipulated it and:
they are the result of statutory regulations or provisions; or
the consumer is authorized to terminate the contract on the day on which the price increase takes effect.
The place of delivery pursuant to Article 5, paragraph 1, Turnover Tax Act 1968 takes place in the country where the transport begins. In the present case, this delivery takes place outside EU. Accordingly, the postal or courier service will collect import VAT or clearance charges from the customer. Therefore no VAT will be charged by the entrepreneur.
All prices are subject to printing errors. No liability is accepted for the consequences of misprints and typesetting errors. In case of misprints and typographical 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 existing on the date of the conclusion of the agreement and /or government regulations. If agreed, the entrepreneur also guarantees that the product is suitable for other than normal use.
A guarantee 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 to the entrepreneur in writing within 14 days of delivery. Products must be returned in the original packaging and in new condition.
The entrepreneur's warranty period 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 edited the delivered products himself or has had them repaired and/or edited by third parties;
The delivered products have been exposed to abnormal conditions or have otherwise been treated carelessly or are contrary to the instructions of the entrepreneur and/or on the packaging;
The defect is wholly or partly the result of regulations that the government has imposed or will impose with regard to the nature or quality of the materials used.
Article 11 – Delivery and execution
The entrepreneur will exercise the utmost care when receiving and executing orders for products.
The place of delivery is the address that the consumer has provided to the company.
Taking into account what is stated in Article 4 of these general terms and conditions, the company will execute accepted orders expeditiously, but no later than 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 will be notified of this no later than 30 days after he has placed the order. In that case, the consumer has the right to terminate the agreement without costs and is entitled to any compensation.
In the event of dissolution in accordance with the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur will refund the amount paid by the consumer as soon as possible, but no later than within 14 days after dissolution.
If delivery of an ordered product proves to be impossible, the entrepreneur will make every effort to make a replacement item available. No later than upon delivery, it will be stated in a clear and understandable manner that a replacement item will be delivered. For replacement items right of withdrawal can not be excluded. The costs of any return shipment are 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 representative designated in advance and made known to the entrepreneur, unless expressly agreed otherwise.
