Article 3 – Applicability
- These general terms and conditions apply to every offer made by the entrepreneur and to every distance contract concluded between the entrepreneur and the 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, it will be indicated before the distance contract is concluded that the general terms and conditions are available for inspection at the entrepreneur's premises and that they will be sent free of charge to the consumer upon request as soon as possible.
- If the distance contract is concluded electronically, the text of these general terms and conditions can, contrary to the previous paragraph and before the distance contract is concluded, be made available to the consumer electronically in such a way that the consumer can easily store them on a durable medium. If this is not reasonably possible, it will be indicated before the distance contract is concluded where the general terms and conditions can be viewed electronically and that they will be sent electronically or by other means free of charge at the consumer's request.
- If specific product or service conditions also apply in addition to these general terms and conditions, the second and third paragraphs will apply mutatis mutandis, and in the event of conflicting general terms and conditions, the consumer may always rely on the applicable provision that is most favorable to them.
Article 4 – The offer
- If an offer has a limited validity period or is made under certain conditions, this will be expressly stated in the offer.
- The offer is non-binding. The entrepreneur is entitled to remove or modify the offer.
- The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products and/or services offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to allow the consumer to make a proper assessment of the offer. If the entrepreneur uses images, they must be a true representation of the products and/or services offered. Obvious mistakes or errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.
- Every offer contains sufficient information for the consumer to understand the rights and obligations associated with accepting the offer, including in particular:
- the price, including taxes;
- any delivery costs;
- how the agreement will be concluded and the actions required for this;
- whether or not the right of withdrawal applies;
- the method of payment, delivery, and execution of the agreement;
- the period for accepting the offer, or the period within which the entrepreneur guarantees the price;
- the rate of distance communication if the costs of using the means of distance communication are calculated on a basis other than the regular basic rate for the means of communication used;
- whether the contract will be archived after it is concluded, and if so, how it can be accessed by the consumer;
- how the consumer can check and correct the information they provided before concluding the agreement;
- any other languages in which the contract can be concluded, besides Dutch;

Article 5 – The contract
- The contract comes into effect, subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, at the moment the consumer accepts the offer and fulfills the associated conditions.
- If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the entrepreneur will immediately confirm receipt of the acceptance electronically. As long as this acceptance has not been confirmed by the entrepreneur, the consumer can dissolve the contract.
- If the contract is concluded electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure the electronic transfer of data and ensure a secure web environment. If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate security measures.
- The entrepreneur may, within legal boundaries, investigate whether the consumer can meet their payment obligations and gather facts and factors that are important for responsibly entering into the distance contract. If, based on this investigation, the entrepreneur has valid reasons not to enter into the contract, they are entitled to refuse an order or attach special conditions to the execution.
- The entrepreneur will provide the consumer with the following information in writing or in such a way that the consumer can store it on a durable medium:

- the conditions under which and how the consumer can exercise the right of withdrawal, or a clear statement if the right of withdrawal is excluded;
- the information on guarantees and after-sales service;

Article 6 – Right of withdrawal For product delivery:

This connection to fluctuations and the fact that any listed prices are target prices will be stated in the offer.
- Price increases within 3 months after the conclusion of the contract are only permitted if they are the result of legal regulations or provisions.

Article 10 – Conformity and Warranty
- The entrepreneur guarantees that the products and/or services comply with the agreement, the specifications stated in the offer, the reasonable requirements of reliability and/or usability, and the statutory provisions and/or government regulations existing on the date of the conclusion of the agreement. If agreed, the entrepreneur also guarantees that the product is suitable for other than normal use.
- Any warranty provided by the entrepreneur, manufacturer, or importer does not affect the statutory rights and claims the consumer may have against the entrepreneur under the agreement.
- Any defects or incorrectly delivered products must be reported to the entrepreneur in writing within 4 weeks of delivery. The return of the products must take place in the original packaging and in new condition.

- The warranty does not apply if:
- The consumer has repaired and/or modified the delivered products themselves or had them repaired and/or modified by third parties;
- The delivered products have been exposed to abnormal conditions or have otherwise been handled carelessly or contrary to the entrepreneur's instructions and/or the packaging;
- The defectiveness is wholly or partly the result of regulations imposed or to be imposed by the government regarding the nature or quality of the materials used.

- The place of delivery is the address that the consumer has made known to the company.
- With due observance of the provisions stated in Article 4 of these general terms and conditions, the company will execute accepted orders with due speed but no later than 30 days, unless a longer delivery period has been agreed upon. If delivery is delayed, or if an order cannot be executed or can only be partially executed, the consumer will be informed of this no later than 30 days after placing the order. In such cases, the consumer has the right to terminate the agreement without costs and is entitled to any compensation.
- In the event of termination in accordance with the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur will refund the amount paid by the consumer as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days after termination.

The costs of any return shipment are 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 pre-designated representative made known to the entrepreneur unless explicitly agreed otherwise.
- In the case of custom-made products, self-designed items in all categories, the entrepreneur is not liable for errors in the product design after the customer has given approval. This includes things like typographical errors, colloquial speech, or interpretation of text.
