These general terms and conditions apply to every offer made by the entrepreneur and to every distance contract and order established 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, before the distance contract is concluded, it will be indicated 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, notwithstanding the previous paragraph and before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general conditions may be made available to the consumer electronically in such a way that it can be stored by the consumer in a simple manner on a durable data carrier. If this is not reasonably possible, before the distance contract is concluded, it will be indicated where the general conditions can be inspected electronically and that at the consumer's request they will be sent electronically or otherwise free of charge.
In the event that specific product or service conditions apply in addition to these general conditions, the second and third paragraphs shall apply mutatis mutandis, and in the event of conflicting general conditions, the consumer may always rely on the applicable provision that is most favorable to him.
If one or more provisions in these general conditions are at any time wholly or partially void or annulled, the agreement and these conditions shall remain in force for the rest and the provision in question shall be replaced by mutual agreement without delay by a provision that approximates the purport of the original as closely as possible.
Situations not covered by these general terms and conditions should be judged "in the spirit" of these general terms and conditions.
Uncertainties about the interpretation or content of one or more provisions of our terms and conditions shall be interpreted "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 subject to conditions, this shall be expressly stated in the offer.
The offer is without obligation. The entrepreneur is entitled to change and adjust 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 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. 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, which are attached to the acceptance of the offer. This concerns in particular:
- the price including taxes;
- the cost of shipping, if any;
- The manner in which the agreement will be established and what actions are required for that purpose;
- Whether or not the right of withdrawal applies;
- The method of payment, delivery and performance of the agreement;
- the period for acceptance of the offer, or the period within which the entrepreneur guarantees the price;
- the amount of the rate for distance communication if the cost of using the technique for distance communication is calculated on a basis other than the regular basic rate for the means of communication used;
- Whether the contract will be archived after its conclusion, and if so in which it can be accessed by the consumer;
- the way in which the consumer, before concluding the contract, can check and, if desired, rectify the data provided by him under the contract;
- any other languages in which, in addition to Dutch, the agreement may be concluded;
- the codes of conduct to which the entrepreneur has submitted and the way in which the consumer can consult these codes of conduct electronically;
- The minimum duration of the distance contract in the case of an endurance transaction.
Article 5 - The Agreement
The agreement is established at the time of the consumer's acceptance of the offer and the fulfillment of the conditions set forth therein.
If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the entrepreneur shall immediately confirm electronically the receipt of the acceptance of the offer. As long as 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 for this purpose.
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 stating his reasons.
The entrepreneur will include with the product to the consumer the following information, 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 trader's branch where the consumer can address complaints;
- the conditions under which and the manner in which the consumer can use the right of withdrawal, or a clear indication of the exclusion of the right of withdrawal;
- the information on warranties and existing after-purchase service;
Each agreement is entered into under the conditions precedent of sufficient availability of the products in question.
Article 6 - Right of withdrawal
On delivery of products:
When purchasing products, the consumer has the option of dissolving the agreement without giving reasons for 14 days. This reflection period starts on the day after receipt of the product by the consumer or a representative previously designated by the consumer and made known to the entrepreneur.
During the reflection period, the consumer will handle the product and its 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 with all accessories supplied 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 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 using the model form or by another means of communication such as e-mail. 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 made known after the expiration of the periods mentioned in paragraphs 2 and 3 that he wishes to exercise his 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 has paid an amount, the entrepreneur will refund this amount as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after revocation. 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. Reimbursement will be made through the same payment method used by the consumer unless the consumer explicitly authorizes a different payment method.
If the product is damaged due to careless handling by the consumer himself, the consumer is liable for any decrease in value of the product.
The consumer cannot be held liable for depreciation of the product if not all legally required information on the right of withdrawal has been provided by the entrepreneur, this 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 will be described below. 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 made by the entrepreneur in accordance with the consumer's specifications;
- that are clearly personal in nature;
- which by their nature cannot be returned;
- which 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 hygienic products whose seal has been broken by the consumer.
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 may offer products or services whose prices are subject to fluctuations in the financial market that are beyond the Entrepreneur's control, with variable prices. This link to fluctuations and the fact that any prices mentioned are target prices will be mentioned in the offer.
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 trader guarantees that the products and/or services comply with the contract, the specifications stated in the offer, the reasonable requirements of soundness and/or usability and the legal provisions and/or government regulations that existed on the date the contract was concluded. 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 30 days of delivery. Products must be returned in their original packaging and in new condition, without traces of use.
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 modified the delivered products himself or had them repaired and/or modified by a third party;
- the delivered products have been exposed to abnormal conditions or otherwise carelessly treated or have been treated contrary to the instructions of the entrepreneur and/or on the packaging;
- the defectiveness is wholly or partly the result of regulations which the government has imposed or will impose on 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 requests for the provision of services.
The place of delivery is the address that the consumer has made known to the company.
Subject to what is stated in paragraph 4 of this article, the company accepted orders expeditiously but not later than 30 days, unless consumer has agreed to a longer delivery period. If the delivery is delayed, or if an order is not or only partially carried out, the consumer receives notice of this no later than 30 days after the order was placed. The consumer in that case has the right to dissolve the agreement without cost. The consumer is not entitled to compensation.
All delivery terms are indicative. The consumer cannot derive any rights from any terms mentioned. Exceeding a deadline does not entitle the consumer to compensation.
In case of dissolution in accordance with the 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 delivery of an ordered product proves impossible, the entrepreneur will make an effort to provide a replacement item. At the latest upon delivery, it will be reported 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 shall 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 representative previously designated and disclosed to the entrepreneur, unless otherwise expressly agreed.
Article 12 - Duration transactions: duration, termination and renewal
Termination
The consumer may at any time terminate a contract entered into for an indefinite period and which extends to the regular delivery of products (including electricity) or services, subject to agreed termination rules and a notice period not exceeding one month.
The consumer may terminate a fixed-term contract that has been concluded for the regular delivery of products (including electricity) at any time towards the end of the fixed term, subject to agreed termination rules and a notice period not exceeding one month.
The consumer may enter into the agreements mentioned in the previous paragraphs:
cancel at any time and not be limited to cancellation at a particular time or period;
terminate at least in the same manner as they were entered into by him;
always cancel with the same notice period as the entrepreneur has stipulated for himself.
Extension
A contract entered into for a definite period of time and which extends to the regular delivery of products (including electricity) may not be tacitly extended or renewed for a definite period of time.
Article 13 - Payment

In case of non-payment by the consumer, subject to legal restrictions, the entrepreneur has the right to charge the reasonable costs made known to the consumer in advance.
Article 14 - Complaints procedure
The entrepreneur has a sufficiently publicized complaint procedure and handles the complaint in accordance with this complaint procedure.
Complaints about the performance of the agreement must be submitted to the entrepreneur fully and clearly described within 2 months, after the consumer has identified 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 foreseeably longer processing time, the entrepreneur will respond within the 14-day period with a notice of receipt and an indication of when the consumer can expect a more detailed answer.
If the complaint cannot be resolved by mutual agreement, a dispute arises that is amenable to dispute resolution.
