  1. If an offer has a limited period of validity or is made subject to conditions, this will be expressly stated in the offer.
  2. The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products and/or services on offer. 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 on offer. Obvious mistakes or errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.

  • The price including taxes;
  • Any delivery costs;
  • The manner in which the agreement will be established and the actions required to do so;
  • Whether or not the right of withdrawal applies;
  • The method of payment, delivery or performance of the agreement;
  • The deadline for accepting the offer or the deadline for honouring 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 basic rate;
  • If the agreement is archived after conclusion, in what way it can be accessed by the consumer;
  • The manner in which the consumer can become aware of acts not wanted by him before the conclusion of the contract, as well as the manner in which he can rectify them before the conclusion of the contract;
  • Any languages in which, in addition to Dutch, the agreement may be concluded;
  • The codes of conduct to which the trader 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 a contract for continuous or periodic delivery of products or services.

Article 5 - The agreement

  1. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, the agreement is concluded at the moment the consumer accepts the offer and fulfils the conditions set out therein.
  2. If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the trader will immediately confirm receipt of acceptance of the offer electronically. Until receipt of this acceptance is confirmed, the consumer may dissolve the contract.
  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 of all those facts and factors that are important for a responsible conclusion of the remote agreement. 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 giving reasons.
  5. The trader will send the following information along 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: b. the conditions on which and the way in which the consumer can make use of the right of withdrawal, or a clear statement about the exclusion of the right of withdrawal; d. the data included in article 4, paragraph 3 of these conditions, unless the trader has already provided the consumer with these data before the performance of the contract;
  6. If the entrepreneur has undertaken to deliver a series of products or services, the provision in the previous paragraph only applies to the first delivery.

Article 6 - Right of withdrawal

During this 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 to the entrepreneur with all delivered accessories and - if reasonably possible - in the original condition and packaging, in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.

When purchasing products, consumers have the option of dissolving the agreement without giving reasons for 14 days. This period starts on the day after receipt of the product by or on behalf of the consumer.

Article 7 - Costs in case of withdrawal

  1. If the consumer exercises his right of withdrawal, at most the costs of return shipment will be at his expense.
  2. If the consumer has paid an amount, the operator will refund this amount as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days after the return or withdrawal.

Article 8 - Exclusion of the right of withdrawal

  1. If the consumer does not have a right of withdrawal, this can only be excluded by the trader if the trader clearly stated this in the offer, at least in good time before concluding the contract.
  2. Exclusion of the right of withdrawal is only possible for products: a) that are clearly of a personal nature; b) that spoil or age quickly; c) for single newspapers and magazines; d) for audio and video recordings and computer software of which the consumer has broken the seal; e) of which the price is subject to fluctuations on the financial market that are beyond the Entrepreneur's control; f) that cannot be returned due to their nature; g) that were created by the Entrepreneur according to the Consumer's specifications.

 Article 9 - The price

  1. 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.
  2. Contrary to 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 stated prices are target prices shall be stated with the offer.
  3. Price increases within 3 months of the conclusion of the agreement are only allowed if they result from legal regulations or provisions.

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

Article 10 - Conformity and Warranty

  1. The entrepreneur guarantees that the products and/or services comply with the agreement, the specifications mentioned in the offer, the reasonable requirements of soundness and/or usability and the existing legal provisions and/or government regulations on the date of the conclusion of the agreement.
  2. An arrangement offered as a guarantee by the trader, manufacturer or importer does not affect the rights and claims that the consumer can assert against the trader on the basis of the law and/or the distance contract with regard to a shortcoming in the trader's obligations.

Article 11 - Delivery and execution

  1. The entrepreneur will take the greatest possible care when receiving and executing orders for products and when assessing requests for the provision of services.

If delivery is delayed, or if an order cannot or can only be partially carried out, the consumer will be informed about this at the latest one month after the order was placed. In that case, the consumer has the right to dissolve the agreement without costs and the right to possible damages.
  4. In case of dissolution in accordance with the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur will refund the amount paid by the consumer as soon as possible, but at the latest within 30 days after dissolution.
  5. If delivery of an ordered product turns out to be impossible, the entrepreneur will make an effort to provide a replacement article. At the latest upon delivery, it will be reported in a clear and comprehensible manner that a replacement article is being delivered.

  6. The risk of damage and/or loss of products rests with the entrepreneur until the moment of delivery to the consumer, unless explicitly agreed otherwise.
