If this is not reasonably possible, before the distance contract is concluded, it will be indicated that the general conditions are available for perusal at the entrepreneur's premises and that they will be sent to the consumer free of charge as soon as possible, at the consumer's request.
  3. If the distance contract is concluded electronically, then, contrary to the previous paragraph, and before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions will be made available to the consumer in electronic form in such a way that the consumer can easily store them 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 viewed electronically and that they will be sent to the consumer free of charge, at his request, either electronically or in some other way.
  4. In case specific product- or service conditions apply in addition to these general conditions, the second and third paragraphs apply accordingly and the consumer can always rely on the applicable provision that is most favourable to him in case of conflicting general conditions.

  2. The offer is without obligation. The entrepreneur is entitled to change and adapt the offer.
  3. 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 properly assess the offer. If the entrepreneur uses images, these are a true reflection of the products and / or services offered. Obvious mistakes or obvious errors in the offer are not binding on the entrepreneur.
  4. All images, specifications and data in the offer are indicative and can not lead to compensation or dissolution of the agreement.
  5. Images of products are a true representation of the products offered. The Company cannot guarantee that the colours shown will exactly match the real colours of the products.
  6. Each offer contains such information that it is clear to the consumer what rights and obligations are attached to accepting the offer. This concerns in particular:

Article 5 - The agreement

  1. The agreement comes into effect, subject to that which is stipulated in paragraph 4, at the moment at which the consumer accepts the offer and the conditions thereby stipulated are fulfilled.

  2. If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the trader will immediately confirm receipt of electronic acceptance of the offer. As long as the receipt of this acceptance has not been confirmed by the entrepreneur, the consumer may dissolve the agreement.

If the consumer is able to pay electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate safety measures.
  4. The entrepreneur can - within legal frameworks - acquaint himself with the ability of the consumer to meet his payment obligations, as well as with 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 reason not to enter into the agreement, he is entitled to refuse an order or application or to attach special conditions to the implementation.
  5. The entrepreneur will, together with the product or service, send the consumer the following information, in writing or in such a way that the consumer can store it in an accessible way on a durable data carrier:

b. the conditions on which and the way in which the Consumer may exercise the right of withdrawal, or a clear statement regarding the exclusion of the right of withdrawal;
c. the information on guarantees and existing after-sales service;
d. the data included in article 4, paragraph 3 of these conditions, unless the entrepreneur has already provided the consumer with these data before the implementation of the agreement;
e. the requirements for cancelling the agreement if the agreement has a duration of more than one year or is indefinite.

  1. In case of a long-term transaction, the provision in the previous paragraph only applies to the first delivery.
  2. Every agreement is entered into under the suspensive conditions of sufficient availability of the products concerned.

Article 6 - Right of withdrawal

This cooling-off period commences on the day after receipt of the product by the consumer or a previously designated by the consumer and the entrepreneur announced representative.
  2. During the cooling-off period, the consumer will handle the product and packaging with care. He will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to judge whether he wishes to keep the product. If he exercises his right of withdrawal, he will return the product with all accessories and - if reasonably possible - in the original condition and packaging to the entrepreneur, according to the entrepreneur provided reasonable and clear instructions.
  3. When the consumer wishes to make use of his right of withdrawal, he is obliged to inform the entrepreneur of this within 30 days after receiving the product. The consumer must make this known by means of the model form. After the consumer has made known that he wishes to make use of his right of withdrawal, the customer must return the product within 30 days. The consumer has to prove that the delivered goods have been returned on time, for example by means of a proof of posting.
  4. If, at the end of the periods specified in paragraphs 2 and 3, the consumer has not indicated that he wishes to exercise his right of withdrawal, or has not returned the product to the entrepreneur, the purchase is a fact.

Article 8 - The price

  1. During the validity period mentioned 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.

This link to fluctuations and the fact that any prices mentioned are recommended prices will be mentioned with the offer.
  3. Price increases within 3 months after the conclusion of the contract are only allowed if they are the result of statutory regulations or provisions.
  4. Price increases from 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only allowed if the entrepreneur has stipulated it and:

a. they are the result of statutory regulations or stipulations; or

b. the consumer is authorized to terminate the contract on the day on which the price increase takes effect.

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

Article 9 - Compliance and Warranty

  1. The trader guarantees that the products and/or services fulfill the contract, the specifications stated in the offer, the reasonable requirements of reliability and/or serviceability and the statutory provisions and/or government regulations that existed on the date on which the contract was concluded. If agreed, the entrepreneur also guarantees that the product is suitable for other than normal use.
  2. A guarantee provided by the entrepreneur, manufacturer or importer does not affect the legal rights and claims that the consumer, based on the agreement, can assert against the entrepreneur.
  3. Any defects or incorrectly delivered products must be reported in writing to the entrepreneur within 7 days of delivery. The products must be returned in the original packaging and in new condition.
  4. The warranty period of the entrepreneur corresponds to the manufacturer's warranty period. The entrepreneur is never responsible for the ultimate suitability of the products for each individual application by the consumer, nor for any advice regarding the use or application of the products.

  2. The place of delivery is the address that the consumer has made known to the company.
  3. Subject to what is stated in Article 4 of these general conditions, the company will execute accepted orders expeditiously but not later than 30 days, unless the consumer has agreed to a longer delivery period. If the delivery has been delayed, or if an order cannot be filled or can be filled only partially, the Consumer shall be informed about this within 30 days after the order was placed. In that case, the consumer has the right to dissolve the agreement free of charge and the right to possible compensation.
  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 14 days after dissolution.
