These general terms and conditions apply to any offer by the entrepreneur and to any distance contract concluded 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, the entrepreneur will indicate in what way the general terms and conditions can be inspected at the entrepreneur and that they will be sent free of charge to the consumer as soon as possible upon 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 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.
The offer is without obligation. The entrepreneur is entitled to change and adjust 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 contains a complete and accurate description of the products, digital content 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, services and / or digital content offered. Obvious mistakes or obvious errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.
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.
All images, specifications data in the offer are indicative and cannot be a reason for compensation or dissolution of the agreement.
The agreement, subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, is concluded at the time of the consumer's acceptance of the offer and 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 the receipt of this acceptance has not been confirmed by the entrepreneur, the consumer can dissolve the agreement.
If the agreement is created 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 to that end.
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 giving reasons.
The trader will include the following information, in writing or in such a way that it can be stored by the consumer in an accessible manner on a durable data carrier, at the latest upon delivery of the product, service or digital content to the consumer:
In the case of a duration transaction, the provision of the previous paragraph applies only to the first delivery.
Each agreement is entered into under the conditions precedent of sufficient availability of the products in question.
For products:
For services and digital content not delivered on a tangible medium:
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 establish the nature, characteristics and operation of the product. The basic principle here is that the consumer may only handle and inspect the product as he would be allowed to do in a store.
The consumer shall only be liable for diminished value of the product resulting from a manner of handling the product beyond that permitted in paragraph 1.
The consumer is not liable for depreciation of the product if the entrepreneur did not provide him with all legally required information on the right of withdrawal before or at the conclusion of the contract.
If the consumer exercises his right of withdrawal, he shall notify the entrepreneur within the withdrawal period by means of the model withdrawal form or in another unambiguous manner.
As soon as possible, but within 14 days from the day following the notification referred to in paragraph 1, the consumer returns the product, or hands it over to (an authorized representative of) the entrepreneur. This is not required if the entrepreneur has offered to pick up the product himself. The consumer has observed the return period in any case if he returns the product before the reflection period has expired.
The consumer will return the product with all delivered accessories, if reasonably possible in its original condition and packaging, and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.
The risk and burden of proof for the proper and timely exercise of the right of withdrawal lies with the consumer.
The consumer bears the direct cost of returning the product. If the trader has not notified the consumer that the consumer should bear these costs or if the trader indicates that the consumer should bear the costs himself, the consumer does not have to bear the costs of return shipment.
If the consumer withdraws after having first expressly requested that the performance of the service or the supply of gas, water or electricity not made ready for sale in a limited volume or certain quantity begin during the withdrawal period, the consumer shall owe the entrepreneur an amount proportional to that part of the commitment fulfilled by the entrepreneur at the time of withdrawal, compared to the full fulfillment of the commitment.
The consumer bears no cost for the full or partial delivery of digital content not delivered on a tangible medium if:
If the consumer exercises his right of withdrawal, all additional contracts are dissolved by operation of law.
If the trader enables the consumer's notification of withdrawal by electronic means, he shall send a confirmation of receipt without delay after receiving this notification.
The entrepreneur shall reimburse all payments made by the consumer, including any delivery costs charged by the entrepreneur for the returned product, without delay but within 14 days following the day on which the consumer notifies him of the withdrawal. Unless the entrepreneur offers to pick up the product himself, he may wait with refunding until he has received the product or until the consumer proves that he has returned the product, whichever is earlier.
For reimbursement, the entrepreneur uses the same means of payment that the consumer has used, unless the consumer agrees to another method. The refund is free of charge to the consumer.
If the consumer has chosen a more expensive method of delivery than the least expensive standard delivery, the entrepreneur does not have to refund the additional costs for the more expensive method.
The Entrepreneur may exclude the following products and services from the right of withdrawal, but only if the Entrepreneur stated this clearly with the offer, at least in time for the conclusion of the contract:
The trader guarantees that the products and/or services comply with the contract, the specifications mentioned in the offer, the reasonable requirements of soundness and/or usability and the legal provisions and/or government regulations existing on the date of the conclusion of the contract. If agreed, the entrepreneur also guarantees that the product is suitable for other than normal use.
An additional warranty provided by the entrepreneur, his supplier, manufacturer or importer never limits the legal rights and claims that the consumer can assert against the entrepreneur on the basis of the agreement if the entrepreneur has failed to fulfill his part of the agreement.
Additional warranty means any commitment by the entrepreneur, its supplier, importer or manufacturer in which it grants the consumer certain rights or claims beyond what it is legally obliged to do in the event that it has failed to fulfill its part of the agreement.
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 entrepreneur.
Subject to what is stated in article 4 of these general terms and conditions, the entrepreneur will execute accepted orders expeditiously but at the latest within 30 days, unless another delivery period has been agreed. If delivery is delayed, or if an order cannot or can only partially be executed, the consumer will be informed about this within 30 days after the order was placed. The consumer in that case has the right to dissolve the agreement without cost and the right to possible compensation.
After dissolution in accordance with the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur will refund the amount paid by the consumer without delay.
The risk of damage and/or loss of products rests with the entrepreneur until the moment of delivery to the consumer or a representative designated in advance and made known to the entrepreneur, unless otherwise expressly agreed.
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, which extends to the regular delivery of products (including electricity) or services, at any time at 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:
Extension:
A contract entered into for a definite period of time, which extends to the regular delivery of products (including electricity) or services, may not be tacitly extended or renewed for a definite period of time.
Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, a fixed-term contract that has been concluded for the regular delivery of daily news and weekly newspapers and magazines may be tacitly renewed for a fixed term not exceeding three months, if the consumer can terminate this extended contract by the end of the extension with a notice period not exceeding one month.
A fixed-term contract that has been concluded for the regular delivery of products or services may only be tacitly renewed for an indefinite period of time if the consumer may terminate the contract at any time with a period of notice that does not exceed one month. The notice period shall not exceed three months in case the contract extends to the regular, but less than once a month, delivery of daily, news and weekly newspapers and magazines.
A limited-term agreement to regularly deliver daily, news and weekly newspapers and magazines for introductory purposes (trial or introductory subscription) is not tacitly continued and ends automatically at the end of the trial or introductory period.
Duration:
If a contract has a duration of more than one year, after one year the consumer may terminate the contract at any time with a notice period not exceeding one month, unless reasonableness and fairness oppose termination before the end of the agreed duration.
Unless otherwise provided in the agreement or additional conditions, the amounts owed by the consumer should be paid within 14 days after the start of the reflection period, or in the absence of a reflection period within 14 days after the conclusion of the agreement. In the case of an agreement to provide a service, this period begins on the day after the consumer receives the confirmation of the agreement.
When selling products to consumers, general terms and conditions may never require the consumer to pay more than 50% in advance. Where advance payment is stipulated, the consumer may not assert any rights regarding the execution of the order or service(s) in question before the stipulated advance payment has been made.
The consumer has the duty to immediately report inaccuracies in payment information provided or stated to the entrepreneur.
If the consumer does not timely fulfill his payment obligation(s), he is, after he has been pointed out by the entrepreneur about the late payment and the entrepreneur has granted the consumer a period of 14 days to still fulfill his payment obligations, after the failure to pay within this 14-day period, on the amount still owed, the consumer owes the legal interest and the entrepreneur is entitled to charge the extrajudicial collection costs incurred by him. These collection costs amount to a maximum of:
The entrepreneur may deviate from the mentioned amounts and percentages for the benefit of the consumer.
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 within a reasonable time after the consumer has found the defects, fully and clearly described.
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 within a reasonable period of time or within 3 months of the filing of the complaint, a dispute arises that is amenable to the dispute resolution procedure.
Contracts between the entrepreneur and the consumer to which these general terms and conditions relate are exclusively governed by Dutch law.
Additional provisions or provisions deviating from these general 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.
