Article 3 - Applicability

These general terms and conditions apply to any offer by the trader and to any remote agreement between the trader and customer.
Before the remote agreement is settled the text of these general terms and conditions will be made available to the customer. If there is a sound reason for this not being possible, the customer will be made aware that they can be obtained from the trader free of charge on request of the customer, before the remote agreement has been settled.
If the remote agreement is settled electronically, contrary to the previous clause and before the remote agreement is settled, the text of these general terms and conditions will be made available to the customer in a way that these can be easily saved by the customer onto a sustainable data carrier. If there is a sound reason for this not being possible, the customer will be informed that they can be obtained from the trader free of charge on request of the customer, before the remote agreement has been settled.
In the event of extra terms and conditions applying to specific products or services as well as these general terms and conditions, the second and third clause apply correspondingly. If there are conflicting terms and conditions, the customer has the right to refer to the condition which is the most favourable.

Article 4 - The offer

If an offer has a limited validity or is subject to conditions, this will be stated clearly in the offer.
The offer must contain a full and accurate description of the products and/or services being offered. The description is detailed sufficiently in order that the customer is able to make a substantiated decision regarding the purchase. If the trader makes use of images, these portray a true and proper depiction of the products and/or services on offer. Obvious inaccuracies or errors in the offer are not legally binding to the trader.
Any offer contains information for the customer on the rights and obligations that apply to the purchase or agreement, which take effect the moment the offer is accepted. This particularly relates to:

the price, including taxes;
any delivery costs;
the manner in which the agreement will be settled and any necessary acts hereto;
whether the right to withdrawal applies;
the method for payment, delivery or execution of the agreement;
the time limits for acceptance of the offer, and any time limits with regards to the price of the offer;
the costs of remote communication in the event of costs for using a method for remote communication are calculated at a different rate than the basic rate;
if the settled agreement is archived, how the customer can gain access to the agreement;
how the customer is informed before an agreement is settled on how to rectify an agreement entered unintentionally;
any language, other than Dutch, in which the agreement can be settled;
the codes of behaviour which apply to the trader and how the customer can access these codes electronically; and
the minimal duration of the remote agreement in the case of an agreement involving a continuous or periodic delivery of products or services.

Article 5 - The Agreement

The agreement, under the conditions stated in clause 4, is settled at the moment the customer accepts the offer and the terms and conditions related to that offer.
If the customer has accepted the offer electronically, the trader will send an electronic confirmation of receipt. As long as the reception has not been confirmed, the customer is within his rights to cancel the agreement.
If the agreement has been settled electronically, the trader must ensure technical and organisational measures are in place to protect the security of the electronic transfer of data and a safe and secure web environment. If payment by the customer is to take place electronically, the trader will ensure the necessary security measures to allow this are in place.
The trader is within his rights to – within the legal scope – determine if the customer is within his means to meet the payment obligations, as well as the facts and factors of concern for settling a remote agreement in a responsible manner. If, as a result of this analysis, the trader has good reason for not entering an agreement with the customer, he is within his rights to refuse an order with good reason, or to attach special conditions to the execution of the agreement.
The trader will send the following information to the consumer, either written or in another accessible form which enables the customer to save the information onto a sustainable information carrier:
a. the visiting address of the trader’s trading location in the event the customer wishes to lodge a complaint;
b. the conditions that apply to the right to withdrawal, and how the customer can make use of this right, or otherwise clear information if the right to withdrawal does not apply.
c. information on existing services after purchase and guarantees;
d. the information in article 4 clause 3 of these terms and conditions, unless the trader has supplied the customer with this information before the execution of the agreement;
e. the requirements with regards to cancellation of the agreement if the duration of the agreement is longer than one year or indefinite.
If the trader has committed to the delivery of a series of products or services then the stipulations in the previous clause only applies to the first delivery.

Article 6a - Right to withdrawal with regards to delivery of products

The customer has the possibility to cancel the purchase of any items without reason within fourteen working days. This period goes into effect the day after the product has been received by or on behalf of the customer.
During this period the customer will ensure the product and packaging remains intact. The product will only be unpacked to determine if the product is satisfactory and the original packaging must be kept. If the customer wishes to make use of the right to withdrawal, he will ensure the product and the original packaging – insofar that is possible – is returned to the trader conform the reasonable and clear instructions of the trader.

Article 6b - Right to withdrawal with regards to delivery of services

The customer has the possibility to cancel the delivery of any services without reason within seven working days. This period goes into effect the day after an agreement has been settled regarding the delivery of the services.
If the customer wishes to make use of his right to withdrawal from the delivery to services, he will do so according to the reasonable and clear instructions given at the moment the offer of the services was made, or at the very latest at the moment the services are delivered.

Article 7 - Costs in the case of withdrawal
