Article 3 - Applicability

These general terms and conditions apply to every offer of the entrepreneur and to every concluded distance contract and orders between entrepreneur and 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's premises and they will be sent free of charge as soon as possible at the request of the consumer.

If the distance contract 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 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 free of charge at the request of the consumer by electronic means or otherwise.

In addition to these general terms and conditions, if specific product or service conditions apply, the second and third paragraphs apply accordingly and the consumer can always invoke the applicable provision that is most favorable to him in case of conflicting general 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 conditions will remain in force for the rest and the relevant provision will be replaced in mutual consultation without delay by a provision that approximates the original intention as much 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.

Uncertainties about the explanation or content of one or more provisions of our conditions should be explained 'in the spirit' of these general terms and conditions.

Article 4 - The Offer

If an offer has a limited period of validity or is made under conditions, this will be explicitly 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 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 obvious errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.

All images, specifications, and data in the offer are indicative and cannot be grounds for compensation or dissolution of the agreement.

Images accompanying products are a true representation of the offered products. The entrepreneur cannot 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 that are attached to accepting the offer. This concerns in particular:

  • the price 
  • any costs of shipping;
  • the way in which the agreement will be concluded and what actions are necessary 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 level of the rate for distance communication if the costs of using the technique for distance communication are calculated on a basis other than the regular base rate for the used means of communication;
  • whether the agreement after the conclusion will be archived, and if so in what way it can be consulted by the consumer;
  • the way in which the consumer, before concluding the agreement, can check and if necessary restore the information provided by him in the context of the agreement;
  • any other languages in which, besides Dutch, the agreement can be concluded;
  • the behavioral codes to which the entrepreneur has submitted and the way in which the consumer can consult these behavioral codes electronically; and
  • the minimum duration of the distance contract in the event of a duration transaction.

Article 5 - The Agreement

The agreement comes into effect, subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, at the moment of acceptance by the consumer of the offer and the fulfillment of the conditions set out therein.

If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the entrepreneur will immediately confirm the 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 secure the electronic transfer of data and ensure a secure web environment. If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate security measures for this purpose.

The entrepreneur can - 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 contract. If the entrepreneur has good reasons not to enter into the agreement based on this investigation, he is entitled to refuse an order or request with reasons, or to attach special conditions to the execution.

The entrepreneur will include the following information with the product or service to the consumer, in writing or in such a way that the consumer can store it in an accessible manner 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 statement regarding the exclusion of the right of withdrawal;
  • the information about guarantees and existing service after purchase;
  • the data included in article 4 paragraph 3 of these conditions, unless the entrepreneur has already provided these data to the consumer 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 indefinite.

In the 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 condition of sufficient availability of the relevant products.

Article 6 - Right of Withdrawal

For the delivery of products:

When purchasing products, the consumer has the option to dissolve the agreement without giving reasons within 14 days. This cooling-off period commences on the day after receipt of the product by the consumer or a pre-designated representative announced to the entrepreneur.

During the cooling-off 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 uses his right of withdrawal, he will return the product with all supplied accessories and - if reasonably possible - in the original condition and packaging to the entrepreneur, following the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.

When 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 via the model form or by another communication medium such as email. After the consumer has made known that he wishes to use his right of withdrawal, the consumer must return the product within 14 days. The consumer must prove that the delivered goods were returned on time, for example, by means of proof of shipment.

If the customer has not expressed his intention to use his right of withdrawal after the periods mentioned in paragraphs 2 and 3, or if the product has not been returned to the entrepreneur, the purchase is a fact.

For the delivery of services:

For the delivery of services, the consumer has the option to dissolve the agreement without giving reasons for at least 14 days, commencing on the day of entering into the agreement.

To use his right of withdrawal, the consumer will comply with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur at the offer and/or at the latest at the delivery.

Article 7 - Costs in Case of Withdrawal

If the consumer uses his right of withdrawal, at most the costs of return will be at his expense.

If the consumer has paid an amount, the entrepreneur will refund this amount as soon as possible, but at the latest within 14 days after withdrawal. This is subject to the condition that the product has already been received back by the web retailer or conclusive proof of complete return can be provided. Reimbursement will be made using the same payment method initially used by the consumer unless the consumer explicitly agrees to another payment method.

If damage to the product is due to careless handling by the consumer, the consumer is liable for any depreciation in value of the product.

The consumer cannot be held liable for depreciation in value of the product when the entrepreneur has not provided all legally required information about the right of withdrawal, which must be done before the conclusion of the purchase agreement.

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 only applies if the entrepreneur has clearly stated this in the offer, at least in good time before 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 by their nature cannot be returned;
  • that can spoil or age quickly;
  • whose price is subject to fluctuations in the financial market over which the entrepreneur has no influence;
  • for single 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:

  • relating to accommodation, transport, catering or leisure activities to be performed on a specific date or during a specific period;
  • of which the delivery has begun with the consumer's express consent before the cooling-off period has expired;
  • concerning bets 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 whose prices are subject to fluctuations in the financial market and where the entrepreneur has no influence, at variable prices. This link to fluctuations and the fact that any stated prices are target prices are stated in the offer.

Price increases within 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only allowed if they result from statutory regulations or provisions.

Price increases from 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only allowed if the entrepreneur has stipulated this and:

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

The prices stated in the offer of products or services include VAT.

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 printing and typographical errors, the entrepreneur is not obliged to deliver the product according to the incorrect price.

Article 10 - Conformity and Guarantee

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 guarantee provided by the entrepreneur, manufacturer, or importer does not affect the legal rights and claims that the consumer can assert against the entrepreneur based on the agreement.

Any defects or incorrectly delivered products must be reported to the entrepreneur in writing within 2 months after discovery of the defect.

The entrepreneur's guarantee period corresponds to the manufacturer's guarantee period. 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 guarantee does not apply if:

  • the consumer has repaired and/or processed the delivered products himself or has had them repaired and/or processed by third parties;
  • the delivered products have been exposed to abnormal conditions or otherwise handled carelessly or contrary to the instructions of the entrepreneur and/or on the packaging;
  • the defectiveness is wholly or partly the result of regulations that the government has set or will set regarding the nature or quality of the materials used.

Article 11 - Delivery and Execution

The entrepreneur will exercise the greatest possible care in receiving and executing orders for products and in 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 the consumer has agreed to a longer delivery period. If the delivery is delayed, or if an order cannot be executed or can only be partially executed, the consumer will be informed of this no later than 30 days after the order was placed. In that case, the consumer has the right to dissolve the agreement without costs. The consumer is not entitled to compensation.

All delivery times are indicative. The consumer cannot derive any rights from any mentioned periods. Exceeding a term does not entitle the consumer to compensation.

In the event of dissolution in accordance with paragraph 3 of this article, the entrepreneur will refund the amount paid by the consumer as soon as possible, but at the latest within 14 days after dissolution.

If the delivery of an ordered product proves impossible, the entrepreneur will endeavor to provide a replacement article. At the latest upon delivery, it will be stated in a clear and comprehensible manner that a replacement article is being delivered. With replacement articles, the right of withdrawal cannot be excluded. The costs of any return shipment are for the entrepreneur's account.

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 and announced representative to the entrepreneur, unless expressly agreed otherwise.

Article 12 - Duration Transactions: Duration, Termination, and Extension

Termination:

The consumer can terminate an agreement that has been entered into for an indefinite period and that extends to the regular delivery of products (including electricity) or services at any time, subject to agreed termination rules and a notice period of no more than one month.

An agreement that has been entered into for a definite period and that extends to the regular delivery of products or services may only be tacitly extended for an indefinite period if the consumer may terminate at any time with a notice period of no more than one month and a notice period of no more than three months in case the agreement extends to the regular, but less than once a month, delivery of daily, news, and weekly newspapers and magazines.

An agreement with a limited duration for the regular introduction of daily, news, and weekly newspapers and magazines (trial or introductory subscription) will not be tacitly continued and ends automatically after the trial or introductory period.

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 of no more than one month, unless reasonableness and fairness oppose termination before the end of the agreed duration.

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 referred to in Article 6, paragraph 1. In the case of an agreement to provide a service, this period starts after the consumer has received the confirmation of the agreement.

The consumer has the duty to immediately report inaccuracies in payment details provided or stated to the entrepreneur.

In the event of default by the consumer, the entrepreneur, subject to legal restrictions, has the right to charge the previously communicated reasonable costs to the consumer.

Article 14 - Complaint Procedure

The entrepreneur has a sufficiently publicized complaint procedure and handles the complaint in accordance with this complaint procedure.

Complaints about the execution of the agreement must be submitted fully and clearly described to the entrepreneur within 2 months after the consumer has discovered the defects.

Complaints submitted to the entrepreneur will be answered within 14 days from the date of receipt. If a complaint requires a foreseeably longer processing time, the entrepreneur will respond within the 14-day period with a notice of receipt and an indication when the consumer can expect a more detailed answer.

If the complaint cannot be resolved by mutual agreement, a dispute arises that is subject to the dispute resolution procedure.

With complaints, a consumer should first turn to the entrepreneur. If the web store is affiliated with Stichting WebwinkelKeur and complaints cannot be resolved by mutual agreement, the consumer should contact Stichting WebwinkelKeur (www.webwinkelkeur.nl), which will mediate free of charge. Check whether this web store has an ongoing membership via https://www.webwinkelkeur.nl/ledenlijst/. If there is still no resolution, the consumer has the possibility to submit the complaint to the independent dispute resolution committee appointed by Stichting WebwinkelKeur, the decision of which is binding and both the entrepreneur and consumer agree to this binding decision. The submission of a dispute to this dispute resolution committee entails costs that must be paid by the consumer to the relevant committee. It is also possible to report complaints via the European ODR platform (http://ec.europa.eu/odr).

A complaint does not suspend the entrepreneur's obligations unless the entrepreneur indicates otherwise in writing.

If a complaint is found to be well-founded by the entrepreneur, the entrepreneur will, at her discretion, replace or repair the delivered products free of charge.

Article 15 - Disputes

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

The Vienna Sales Convention does not apply.

Article 16 - Additional or Deviating Provisions

Additional provisions or deviations from these general terms and conditions may not be to the detriment of the consumer and must be recorded in writing or in such a way that they can be stored by the consumer in an accessible manner on a durable data carrier.

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 the consumer has agreed to a longer delivery period. If the delivery is delayed, or if an order cannot be executed or can only be partially executed, the consumer will be informed of this no later than 30 days after the order was placed. In that case, the consumer has the right to dissolve the agreement without costs. The consumer is not entitled to compensation.

All delivery times are indicative. The consumer cannot derive any rights from any mentioned periods. Exceeding a term does not entitle the consumer to compensation.

In the event of dissolution in accordance with paragraph 3 of this article, the entrepreneur will refund the amount paid by the consumer as soon as possible, but at the latest within 14 days after dissolution.

If the delivery of an ordered product proves impossible, the entrepreneur will endeavor to provide a replacement article. At the latest upon delivery, it will be stated in a clear and comprehensible manner that a replacement article is being delivered. With replacement articles, the right of withdrawal cannot be excluded. The costs of any return shipment are for the entrepreneur's account.

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 and announced representative to the entrepreneur, unless expressly agreed otherwise.

Article 12 - Duration Transactions: Duration, Termination, and Extension

Termination:

The consumer can terminate an agreement that has been entered into for an indefinite period and that extends to the regular delivery of products (including electricity) or services at any time, subject to agreed termination rules and a notice period of no more than one month.

The consumer can terminate an agreement that has been entered into for a definite period and that extends to the regular delivery of products (including electricity) or services at any time at the end of the definite period, subject to agreed termination rules and a notice period of no more than one month.

The consumer can terminate the agreements mentioned in the previous paragraphs:

  • at any time and is not limited to termination at a specific time or in a specific period;
  • at least terminate in the same way as they were entered into by him;
  • always terminate with the same notice period that the entrepreneur has stipulated for himself.

Extension:

An agreement that has been entered into for a definite period and that extends to the regular delivery of products (including electricity) or services may not be tacitly extended or renewed for a definite period.

In deviation from the previous paragraph, an agreement that has been entered into for a definite period and that extends to the regular delivery of daily, news, and weekly newspapers and magazines may be tacitly extended for a definite period of up to three months, if the consumer can terminate this extended agreement against the end of the extension with a notice period of no more than one month.

An agreement that has been entered into for a definite period and that extends to the regular delivery of products or services may only be tacitly extended for an indefinite period if the consumer may terminate at any time with a notice period of no more than one month and a notice period of no more than three months in case the agreement extends to the regular, but less than once a month, delivery of daily, news, and weekly newspapers and magazines.

An agreement with a limited duration for the regular introduction of daily, news, and weekly newspapers and magazines (trial or introductory subscription) will not be tacitly continued and ends automatically after the trial or introductory period.

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 of no more than one month, unless reasonableness and fairness oppose termination before the end of the agreed duration.

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 referred to in Article 6, paragraph 1. In the case of an agreement to provide a service, this period starts after the consumer has received the confirmation of the agreement.

The consumer has the duty to immediately report inaccuracies in payment details provided or stated to the entrepreneur.

In the event of default by the consumer, the entrepreneur, subject to legal restrictions, has the right to charge the previously communicated reasonable costs to the consumer.

Article 14 - Complaint Procedure

The entrepreneur has a sufficiently publicized complaint procedure and handles the complaint in accordance with this complaint procedure.

Complaints about the execution of the agreement must be submitted fully and clearly described to the entrepreneur within 2 months after the consumer has discovered the defects.

Complaints submitted to the entrepreneur will be answered within 14 days from the date of receipt. If a complaint requires a foreseeably longer processing time, the entrepreneur will respond within the 14-day period with a notice of receipt and an indication when the consumer can expect a more detailed answer.

If the complaint cannot be resolved by mutual agreement, a dispute arises that is subject to the dispute resolution procedure.

With complaints, a consumer should first turn to the entrepreneur. If the web store is affiliated with Stichting WebwinkelKeur and complaints cannot be resolved by mutual agreement, the consumer should contact Stichting WebwinkelKeur (www.webwinkelkeur.nl), which will mediate free of charge. Check whether this web store has an ongoing membership via https://www.webwinkelkeur.nl/ledenlijst/. If there is still no resolution, the consumer has the possibility to submit the complaint to the independent dispute resolution committee appointed by Stichting WebwinkelKeur, the decision of which is binding and both the entrepreneur and consumer agree to this binding decision. The submission of a dispute to this dispute resolution committee entails costs that must be paid by the consumer to the relevant committee. It is also possible to report complaints via the European ODR platform (http://ec.europa.eu/odr).

A complaint does not suspend the entrepreneur's obligations unless the entrepreneur indicates otherwise in writing.

If a complaint is found to be well-founded by the entrepreneur, the entrepreneur will, at her discretion, replace or repair the delivered products free of charge.

Article 15 - Disputes

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

The Vienna Sales Convention does not apply.

Article 16 - Additional or Deviating Provisions

Additional provisions or deviations from these general terms and conditions may not be to the detriment of the consumer and must be recorded in writing or in such a way that they can be stored by the consumer in an accessible manner on a durable data carrier.
