Article 3 - Applicability
- These general terms and conditions apply to every offer from the entrepreneur and to every distance contract and orders between the entrepreneur and the consumer.
- Before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions will be made available to the consumer. If this is not reasonably possible, it will be indicated before the distance contract is concluded that the general terms and conditions can be viewed at the entrepreneur and they will be sent free of charge as soon as possible at the consumer's request.
- If the distance contract is concluded electronically, the text of these general terms and conditions can, contrary to the previous paragraph and before the distance contract is concluded, be made available to the consumer electronically in such a way that it can be stored by the consumer in a simple way on a durable data carrier. If this is not reasonably possible, it will be indicated before the distance contract is concluded where the general terms and conditions can be viewed electronically and that they will be sent electronically or otherwise free of charge at the consumer's request.
- If specific product or service conditions apply in addition to these general terms and conditions, the second and third paragraphs apply mutatis mutandis and in the event of conflicting terms and conditions, the consumer can always invoke the applicable provision that is most favorable to him.
- If one or more provisions in these general terms and conditions are at any time wholly or partially void or annulled, the agreement and these terms and conditions will remain in effect for the rest and the relevant provision will be replaced by mutual agreement without delay by a provision that approximates the intent of the original as closely as possible.
- Situations that are not regulated in these general terms and conditions should be assessed 'in the spirit' of these general terms and conditions.
- Ambiguities about the interpretation or content of one or more provisions of our terms and conditions should be interpreted 'in the spirit' of these general terms and conditions.
Article 4 - The Offer
- If an offer has a limited validity period or is made subject to conditions, this will be explicitly stated in the offer.
- The offer is non-binding. The entrepreneur is entitled to change and adjust 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 good 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 obvious errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.
- All images, specifications, data in the offer are indicative and cannot be a reason for compensation or dissolution of the agreement.
- Images accompanying products are a true representation of the products offered. The entrepreneur cannot guarantee that the displayed colors exactly match the real colors of the products.

- the price including taxes;
- any shipping costs;
- the way in which the agreement will be concluded and what actions are required for this;
- whether or not the right of withdrawal applies;
- the method of payment, delivery, and execution of the agreement;
- the period for acceptance of the offer, or the period within which the entrepreneur guarantees the price;
- the rate for distance communication if the costs of using the technology for distance communication are calculated on a basis other than the regular basic rate for the used means of communication;
- whether the contract is archived after its conclusion, and if so in what way it can be consulted by the consumer;
- the way in which the consumer can check and if necessary restore the data provided by him in the context of the agreement before concluding the contract;
- the possible languages in which, besides Dutch, the contract can be concluded;
- the codes of conduct to which the entrepreneur has subjected himself and the way in which the consumer can consult these codes of conduct electronically; and
- the minimum duration of the distance contract in the event of a duration transaction.
Article 5 - The Agreement
- The agreement is concluded, subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, at the moment of acceptance by the consumer of the offer and compliance with the conditions attached thereto.
- If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the entrepreneur shall immediately confirm receipt of the acceptance of the offer electronically. As long as the receipt of this acceptance has not been confirmed by the entrepreneur, the consumer may dissolve the agreement.

If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur shall observe appropriate security measures.
- The entrepreneur may, within legal frameworks, inform 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 agreement. If the entrepreneur, on the basis of this investigation, has good reasons not to enter into the agreement, he is entitled to refuse a request or order, stating the reasons, or to attach special conditions to the execution.

- During the cooling-off period, the consumer shall handle the product and the packaging with care. He shall only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to assess whether he wishes to keep the product.

Refunds shall be made via the same payment method used by the consumer unless the consumer explicitly agrees to another payment method.
- If the product is damaged due to careless handling by the consumer, the consumer shall be liable for any depreciation in value of the product.

Article 8 - Exclusion of Right of Withdrawal

Article 10 - Compliance 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 existing legal provisions and/or government regulations 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 should be reported to the entrepreneur in writing within 2 months after delivery. The products should be returned in their original packaging and in new condition.

Article 13 - Payment
- Unless otherwise agreed, the amounts owed by the consumer must be paid within 7 working days after the commencement of the cooling-off period as referred to in Article 6, paragraph 1.

- If the complaint cannot be resolved by mutual agreement, a dispute arises that is subject to the dispute resolution procedure.
- In case of complaints, a consumer should first turn to the entrepreneur. For complaints that cannot be resolved in mutual consultation, the consumer should turn to the Stichting WebwinkelKeur (www.webwinkelkeur.nl), which will mediate free of charge. If a solution is not yet reached, the consumer has the possibility to have his complaint handled by the independent dispute resolution committee appointed by Stichting WebwinkelKeur, the decision of which is binding and both the entrepreneur and the consumer agree to this binding decision. Submitting a dispute to this dispute resolution committee involves costs that the consumer must pay to the 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 discretion, either replace or repair the delivered products free of charge.
