Article 3 - Applicability

  1. These general terms and conditions apply to every offer from the trader and to every distance contract and order concluded between the trader and the consumer.
  2. Before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions shall be made available to the consumer. If this is not reasonably possible, it shall be indicated, before the distance contract is concluded, that the general terms and conditions can be inspected at the trader’s premises and that they will be sent free of charge as soon as possible at the consumer’s request.
  3. If the distance contract is concluded electronically, then, in deviation from the previous paragraph and before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions may be made available to the consumer by electronic means in such a way that the consumer can store it easily on a durable data carrier. If this is not reasonably possible, it shall be indicated, before the distance contract is concluded, where the general terms and conditions can be consulted electronically and that they will be sent free of charge at the consumer’s request by electronic means or otherwise.
  4. If, in addition to these general terms and conditions, specific product or service conditions also apply, the second and third paragraphs apply mutatis mutandis, and in the event of conflicting general conditions the consumer may always rely on the applicable provision that is most favorable to him.
  5. If one or more provisions of these general terms and conditions are at any time wholly or partially null and void or annulled, the agreement and these conditions shall otherwise remain in force, and the relevant provision shall be replaced without delay by mutual agreement by a provision that approximates the intent of the original as closely as possible.

  2. The offer is without obligation. The trader is entitled to change and adjust 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 a proper assessment of the offer by the consumer. If the trader uses images, these are a truthful representation of the products and/or services offered. Obvious mistakes or obvious errors in the offer do not bind the trader.
  4. All images and specifications in the offer are indicative and cannot give rise to compensation or dissolution of the contract.
  5. Images of products are a truthful representation of the products offered. The trader cannot guarantee that the colors displayed correspond exactly to the actual colors of the products.
  6. Each offer contains such information that it is clear to the consumer what rights and obligations are attached to acceptance of the offer. This concerns in particular:
    • the price including taxes;
    • any costs of shipping;
    • the way in which the contract will be concluded and which actions are required for this;
    • whether or not the right of withdrawal applies;
    • the method of payment, delivery and performance of the contract;
    • the period for accepting the offer, or the period within which the trader guarantees the price;
    • the amount of the rate for distance communication if the costs of using the means of distance communication are calculated on a basis other than the regular base rate for the means of communication used;
    • whether the contract will be archived after its conclusion and, if so, on which it can be consulted by the consumer;
    • the way in which, before concluding the contract, the consumer can check the data he has provided in the context of the contract and, if desired, correct them;
    • any other languages in which, in addition to Dutch, the contract can 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; and
    • the minimum duration of the distance contract in the case of a continuing transaction.

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 meets the associated conditions.

  3. If the agreement is concluded electronically, the trader shall take appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure the electronic transfer of data and shall ensure a secure web environment. If the consumer can pay electronically, the trader shall observe appropriate security measures for this purpose.
  4. The trader may, within the limits of the law, ascertain 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 trader has good grounds not to conclude the contract, he is entitled to refuse an order or request, stating reasons, or to attach special conditions to performance.
  5. The trader shall send the following information with the product or service to the consumer, in writing or in such a way that it can be stored by the consumer in an accessible manner on a durable data carrier:
