1. These general terms and conditions apply to every offer by the trader and to every distance contract and order concluded between the trader and consumers.
2. 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 remote agreement is concluded, it will be indicated that the general terms and conditions can be inspected at the entrepreneur's premises and that they will be sent free of charge to the consumer at his request as soon as possible.
3. If the distance contract is concluded electronically, contrary to 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 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 terms and conditions can be inspected electronically and that they will be sent electronically or otherwise free of charge at the consumer's request.
4. In case specific product or service conditions apply in addition to these general terms and conditions, the second and third paragraphs shall apply accordingly and the consumer may, in case of conflicting general terms and conditions, always rely on the applicable provision that is most favourable 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 concerned shall be replaced forthwith in mutual consultation by a provision that approximates the purport of the original as closely as possible.

Article 4 - The offer

1. If an offer has a limited period of validity or is made subject to conditions, this will be explicitly stated in the offer.
2. The offer is without obligation. The entrepreneur is entitled to change 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 a proper assessment of the offer by the consumer. If the entrepreneur uses images, these are a true representation of the products and/or services offered. Obvious mistakes or obvious errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.
4. All images, specifications and data in the offer are indicative and cannot be a reason for compensation or dissolution of the agreement.
5. Images of products are a true representation of the products offered. Operator cannot guarantee that the colours displayed correspond exactly to the real colours of the products.
6. 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;
• any shipping costs;
• the manner in which the agreement will be concluded and what actions are required for that purpose;
• whether or not the right of withdrawal applies;
• the manner 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 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, before concluding the agreement, can check and, if desired, rectify the data provided by him in the context of the agreement;
• any languages other than Dutch in which the agreement can be concluded;
• the codes of conduct to which the trader is subject and the manner in which the consumer can consult these codes of conduct electronically; and
• the minimum duration of the distance contract in case of an extended duration 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 the fulfilment of the conditions thereby stipulated.
2. If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the trader will immediately confirm receipt of acceptance of the offer electronically. As long as this acceptance has not been confirmed by the entrepreneur, the consumer can dissolve the agreement.
3. If the agreement is concluded electronically, the entrepreneur shall take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the electronic transfer of data and shall ensure a secure web environment. If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur will observe appropriate security measures.
4. 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.
5. The entrepreneur shall send the following information along 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 manner on a durable data carrier:

• the visiting address of the trader's establishment where the consumer can lodge complaints;
• the conditions on which and the way in which the consumer can exercise the right of withdrawal, or a clear statement that the right of withdrawal is excluded;
• the information on guarantees and existing after-sales services;
• the information included in article 4 paragraph 3 of these terms and conditions, unless the trader has already provided the consumer with this information before the performance of the agreement;
• the requirements for terminating the agreement if the agreement has a duration of more than one year or is of indefinite duration;

In the case of a duration transaction, the provision in the previous paragraph applies only to the first delivery. Each contract is entered into under the suspensive conditions of sufficient availability of the relevant products.

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 has the right to dissolve the agreement without giving reasons.
3. During the cooling-off period, the consumer will handle the product and its packaging with care.

3. 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 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. Repayment will be made via the same payment method used by the consumer unless the consumer explicitly authorises a different payment method.
4. If the product is damaged due to careless handling by the consumer, the consumer is liable for any depreciation in value of the product.

.

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 legal provisions and/or government regulations existing on the date of conclusion of the agreement. If agreed, the entrepreneur also guarantees that the product is suitable for other than normal use.

• the consumer has repaired and/or modified the delivered products himself or had them repaired and/or modified by third parties;
• the delivered products have been exposed to abnormal conditions or otherwise treated carelessly or contrary to the instructions of the entrepreneur and/or treated on the packaging;

In that case, the consumer has the right to dissolve the agreement without costs. The consumer is not entitled to any compensation.
4. 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.

6. If delivery of an ordered product turns out to be impossible, the entrepreneur will make an effort to provide a replacement article.
