Article 3 - Applicability 1. These general terms and conditions apply to every
offer made by the entrepreneur and to every distance contract concluded and
orders between the entrepreneur and the consumer. 2. Before the distance
contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions shall be
made available to the consumer. If this is not reasonably possible, it shall be
indicated before the distance contract is concluded that the general terms and
conditions can be viewed at the entrepreneur's premises and that they will be
sent free of charge to the consumer as soon as possible upon request. 3. If the
distance contract is concluded electronically, notwithstanding the previous
paragraph and before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these
general terms and conditions may be made available to the consumer
electronically in such a manner that the consumer can easily store them on a
durable data carrier. If this is not reasonably possible, it shall be indicated
before the distance contract is concluded where the general terms and
conditions can be consulted electronically and that they will be sent free of
charge to the consumer electronically or in another manner upon request. 4. In
the event that specific product or service conditions also apply in addition to
these general terms and conditions, paragraphs 2 and 3 shall apply accordingly,
and in the event of conflicting general terms and conditions, the consumer may
always invoke the applicable provision that is most favorable to him. 5. 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
shall otherwise remain in force, and the provision in question shall be
replaced without delay by mutual agreement by a provision that approximates the
intent of the original as closely as possible. 6. Situations not covered by
these general terms and conditions shall be assessed 'in the spirit' of these
general terms and conditions. 7. Ambiguities regarding 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 1. If an offer has a limited validity period or is
subject to conditions, this will be explicitly stated in the offer. 2. The
offer is without obligation. The entrepreneur is entitled to modify and adjust
the offer. 3. The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the
products and/or services offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to
enable the consumer to make a proper assessment of the offer. If the
entrepreneur uses images, these are a true representation of the products
and/or services offered. Obvious mistakes or errors in the offer do not bind
the entrepreneur. 4. All images, specifications, and data in the offer are
indicative and cannot give rise to compensation or dissolution of the
agreement. 5. Images accompanying products are a true representation of the
products offered. The entrepreneur cannot guarantee that the displayed colors
correspond exactly to the actual colors of the products. 6. Each offer contains
such information that it is clear to the consumer what the rights and
obligations are that are associated with the acceptance of the offer. This
concerns in particular: o the price including taxes; o any shipping costs; o
the manner in which the agreement will be concluded and the actions required
for this; o whether or not the right of withdrawal applies; o the method of
payment, delivery, and performance of the agreement; o the time limit for
acceptance of the offer, or the period within which the entrepreneur guarantees
the price; o the amount of the rate for distance communication if the costs of
using the distance communication technology are calculated on a basis other
than the regular basic rate for the communication medium used; o whether the
agreement is archived after conclusion, and if so, how it can be consulted by
the consumer; o the manner in which the consumer, before concluding the
agreement, can check and, if desired, correct the data provided by him in the
context of the agreement; o any other languages ββin
which, in addition to Dutch, the agreement can be concluded; o the codes of
conduct to which the entrepreneur has subjected himself and the manner in which
the consumer can consult these codes of conduct electronically; and o the
minimum duration of the distance contract in the case of a continuous
transaction.
Article 5 - The Agreement 1. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, the
agreement is concluded at the moment of acceptance by the consumer of the offer
and compliance with the conditions set out therein. 2. 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. 3. If the agreement is concluded electronically, the
entrepreneur shall take appropriate technical and organizational measures to
secure the electronic transmission of data and ensure a secure web environment.
If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur shall take appropriate
security measures for this purpose. 4. The entrepreneur may β within legal
frameworks β ascertain whether the consumer can meet his payment obligations,
as well as all those facts and factors that are important for responsibly
entering into 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 with justification or to attach
special conditions to its execution. 5. The entrepreneur shall provide the
consumer with the following information regarding the product or service,
either in writing or in such a manner that it can be stored by the consumer in
an accessible manner on a durable data carrier: a. the visiting address of the
entrepreneur's establishment where the consumer can submit complaints; b. the
conditions under which and the manner in which the consumer may exercise the
right of withdrawal, or a clear statement regarding the exclusion of the right
of withdrawal; c. information regarding warranties and existing after-purchase
service; d. the information included in Article 4, paragraph 3 of these terms
and conditions, unless the entrepreneur has already provided this information
to the consumer prior to the execution of the agreement; e. the requirements
for termination of the agreement if the agreement has a duration of more than
one year or is of indefinite duration. 6. In the case of a continuous
transaction, the provision in the previous paragraph applies only to the first
delivery. 7. Every agreement is entered into subject to the suspensive
conditions of sufficient availability of the relevant products.
Article 6 - Right of Withdrawal 1. When purchasing products, the consumer has
the option to dissolve the agreement without giving reasons for a period of 14
days. This cooling-off period commences 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. 2. During the cooling-off period, the consumer
shall handle the product and packaging with care. He shall 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 shall return the product
to the entrepreneur with all delivered accessories and β if reasonably possible
β in its original condition and packaging, in accordance with the reasonable
and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur. 3. If the consumer wishes
to exercise his right of withdrawal, he is obliged to notify the entrepreneur
of this within 14 days of receipt of the product. The consumer must do so using
the model form. After the consumer has indicated that he wishes to exercise his
right of withdrawal, the customer must return the product within 14 days. The
consumer must prove that the delivered goods were returned in a timely manner,
for example by means of proof of shipment. 4. If, after the expiry of the
periods mentioned in paragraphs 2 and 3, the customer has not indicated that he
wishes to exercise his right of withdrawal or has not returned the product to
the entrepreneur, the purchase is final.
Article 7 - Costs in case of withdrawal 1. If the consumer exercises his right
of withdrawal, he shall bear at most the costs of return shipment. 2. If the
consumer has paid an amount, the entrepreneur shall refund this amount as soon
as possible, but no later than within 14 days after withdrawal. This is subject
to the condition that the product has already been received back by the webshop
owner or conclusive proof of complete return shipment can be provided.
Article 8 - Exclusion of the right of withdrawal 1. The entrepreneur may
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, or at least in good time
before the conclusion of the agreement. 2. Exclusion of the right of withdrawal
is only possible for products: a. that have been produced by the entrepreneur
in accordance with the consumer's specifications; b. that are clearly personal
in nature; c. that cannot be returned due to their nature; d. that can quickly
spoil or become obsolete; e. whose price is subject to fluctuations on the
financial market over which the entrepreneur has no influence; f. for individual
newspapers and magazines; g. for audio and video recordings and computer
software where the consumer has broken the seal; h. for hygienic products where
the consumer has broken the seal. 3. Exclusion of the right of withdrawal is
only possible for services: a. relating to accommodation, transport, restaurant
services or leisure activities to be performed on a specific date or during a
specific period; b. the provision of which has commenced with the express
consent of the consumer before the cooling-off period has expired; c. relating
to betting and lotteries.
Article 9 - The Price 1. During the validity period stated in the offer, the
prices of the offered products and/or services shall not be increased, except
for price changes resulting from changes in VAT rates. 2. Notwithstanding the
previous paragraph, the entrepreneur may offer products or services whose
prices are subject to fluctuations on the financial market and over which the
entrepreneur has no influence, with variable prices. This dependence on
fluctuations and the fact that any prices mentioned are indicative prices shall
be stated in the offer. 3. Price increases within 3 months after the conclusion
of the agreement are only permitted if they are the result of statutory
regulations or provisions. 4. Price increases from 3 months after the conclusion
of the agreement are only permitted if the entrepreneur has stipulated this
and: a. these are the result of statutory regulations or provisions; or b. the
consumer has the right to terminate the agreement effective from the day on
which the price increase takes effect. 5. The prices stated in the offer of
products or services include VAT. 6. All prices are subject to printing and
typesetting errors. No liability is accepted for the consequences of printing
and typesetting errors. In the event of printing and typesetting errors, the
entrepreneur is not obliged to deliver the product at the incorrect price.
Article 10 - Conformity and Warranty 1. The entrepreneur guarantees that the
products and/or services comply with the agreement, the specifications stated
in the offer, the reasonable requirements of soundness and/or usability, and
the statutory provisions and/or government regulations existing on the date of
the conclusion of the agreement. If agreed upon, the entrepreneur also
guarantees that the product is suitable for use other than normal use. 2. A
warranty provided by the entrepreneur, manufacturer, or importer does not
detract from the statutory rights and claims that the consumer may assert
against the entrepreneur on the basis of the agreement. 3. Any defects or
incorrectly delivered products must be reported to the entrepreneur in writing
within 30 days after delivery. Return of the products must be made in the
original packaging and in new condition. 4. 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 any
individual application by the consumer, nor for any advice regarding the use or
application of the products. 5. The warranty does not apply if: o The consumer
has repaired and/or modified the delivered products himself or has had them
repaired and/or modified by third parties; o The delivered products have been
exposed to abnormal conditions or are otherwise treated carelessly or in
violation of the instructions of the entrepreneur and/or those on the
packaging; o The defectiveness is wholly or partially the result of regulations
imposed or to be imposed by the government regarding the nature or quality of
the materials used.
Article 11 - Delivery and Execution 1. The entrepreneur shall exercise the
greatest possible care when receiving and executing orders for products and
when assessing applications for the provision of services. 2. The place of
delivery shall be the address that the consumer has provided to the company. 3.
Subject to what is stated regarding this in paragraph 4 of this article, the
company shall execute accepted orders with due speed 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 executed at all or only
partially, the consumer shall be notified thereof no later than 30 days after
placing the order. In that case, the consumer has the right to dissolve the
agreement without cost. The consumer is not entitled to compensation. 4. All
delivery times are indicative. The consumer cannot derive any rights from any
stated deadlines. Exceeding a deadline does not entitle the consumer to
compensation. 5. In the event of dissolution in accordance with paragraph 3 of
this article, the entrepreneur shall refund the amount paid by the consumer as
soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after dissolution. 6. If delivery
of an ordered product proves impossible, the entrepreneur shall endeavor to
make a replacement item available. At the latest upon delivery, it shall be
stated in a clear and understandable manner that a replacement item is being
delivered. The right of withdrawal cannot be excluded for replacement items.
The costs of any return shipment shall be borne by the entrepreneur. 7. The
risk of damage and/or loss of products rests with the entrepreneur until the
moment of delivery to the consumer or a previously designated representative
known to the entrepreneur, unless expressly agreed otherwise.
Article 12 - Long-term transactions: duration, termination and renewal Termination
1. The consumer may terminate an agreement entered into for an indefinite
period and which provides for the regular delivery of products (including
electricity) or services, at any time, subject to the agreed termination rules
and a notice period of at most one month. 2. The consumer may terminate an
agreement entered into for a fixed period and which provides for the regular
delivery of products (including electricity) or services, at any time at the
end of the fixed period, subject to the agreed termination rules and a notice
period of at most one month. 3. The consumer may terminate the agreements
mentioned in the previous paragraphs: o at any time and not be limited to termination
at a specific time or in a specific period; o at least in the same manner as
they were entered into by him; o always with the same notice period as the
entrepreneur has stipulated for himself. Extension 4. An agreement entered into
for a fixed term and which provides for the regular delivery of products
(including electricity) or services may not be tacitly extended or renewed for
a fixed duration. 5. Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, an agreement
entered into for a fixed term and which provides for the regular delivery of
daily newspapers, news magazines, weekly newspapers and periodicals may be
tacitly extended for a fixed duration of a maximum of three months, provided
that the consumer can terminate this extended agreement at the end of the
extension period with a notice period of at most one month. 6. An agreement
entered into for a fixed term and which provides for the regular delivery of
products or services may only be tacitly extended for an indefinite duration if
the consumer may terminate it at any time with a notice period of at most one
month, and a notice period of at most three months in the event that the
agreement provides for the regular, but less than once a month, delivery of
daily newspapers, news magazines, weekly newspapers and periodicals. 7. An
agreement of limited duration for the regular delivery of daily newspapers,
news magazines, weekly newspapers, and periodicals for introductory purposes
(trial or introductory subscription) shall not be tacitly renewed and shall
terminate automatically upon the expiration of the trial or introductory
period. Duration 8. 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 preclude
termination before the end of the agreed duration.
Article 13 - Payment 1. 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. In the case of an
agreement for the provision of a service, this period commences after the
consumer has received confirmation of the agreement. 2. The consumer has the
duty to report inaccuracies in provided or stated payment details to the
entrepreneur without delay. 3. In the event of non-payment by the consumer, the
entrepreneur has the right, subject to legal limitations, to charge the
reasonable costs previously disclosed to the consumer.
Article 14 - Complaints Procedure
1. The entrepreneur has a sufficiently publicized
complaints procedure and handles the complaint in accordance with this
complaints procedure. 2. Complaints regarding the performance of the agreement
must be submitted to the entrepreneur within 7 days of the consumer discovering
the defects, fully and clearly described. 3. 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 an acknowledgment of
receipt and an indication of when the consumer can expect a more detailed
answer. 4. If the complaint cannot be resolved through mutual agreement, a
dispute arises that is subject to the dispute resolution procedure. 5. In the
event of complaints, a consumer must first turn to the entrepreneur. For
complaints that cannot be resolved through mutual agreement, the consumer must
turn to Stichting WebwinkelKeur ( www.webwinkelkeur.nl
), which will mediate free of charge. If a solution cannot be reached, the
consumer has the option to have their complaint handled by the independent
disputes committee appointed by Stichting WebwinkelKeur; its decision is
binding, and both the entrepreneur and the consumer agree to this binding
decision. Submitting a dispute to this committee involves costs that must be
paid by the consumer to the committee. It is also possible to register
complaints via the European ODR platform ( http://ec.europa.eu/odr
). 6. A complaint does not suspend the obligations of the entrepreneur, unless
the entrepreneur indicates otherwise in writing. 7. If a complaint is found to
be justified by the entrepreneur, the entrepreneur will, at its discretion,
either replace or repair the delivered products free of charge.
Article 15 - Disputes 1. Agreements between the entrepreneur and the consumer
to which these general terms and conditions apply are governed exclusively by
Dutch law. This also applies if the consumer resides abroad. 2. The Vienna
Sales Convention does not apply.
Article 16 - Supplementary or deviating provisions Supplementary provisions or
provisions deviating 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 manner
that they can be stored by the consumer in an accessible way on a durable data
carrier.
