Article 3 – Applicability
1. These general terms and conditions apply to every offer made by the entrepreneur and to every distance agreement concluded between the entrepreneur and the consumer.
2. Before the distance agreement is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions will be made available to the consumer. If this is not reasonably possible, the entrepreneur will, before the distance agreement is concluded, indicate how the general terms and conditions can be viewed at the entrepreneur's premises and that they will be sent to the consumer free of charge as soon as possible upon request.
3. If the distance agreement is concluded electronically, notwithstanding the previous paragraph and before the distance agreement is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions may be made available to the consumer electronically in such a way that it can be easily stored by the consumer on a durable data carrier. If this is not reasonably possible, it will be indicated, before the distance agreement is concluded, where the general terms and conditions can be accessed electronically and that they will be sent free of charge electronically or otherwise, at the consumer's request.
4. In the event that specific product or service conditions apply in addition to these general terms and conditions, the second and third paragraphs apply mutatis mutandis, and in case of conflicting terms, the consumer can always invoke the applicable provision that is most favorable to them.
Article 4 – The offer
1. If an offer has a limited validity period or is subject to conditions, this will be explicitly stated in the offer.
2. The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products, digital content and/or services offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to allow 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.
3. Every offer contains such information that it is clear to the consumer what rights and obligations are attached to the acceptance of the offer.
Article 5 – The agreement
1. The agreement, subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, is concluded at the moment the consumer accepts the offer and fulfills the conditions set therein.
2. If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the entrepreneur will immediately confirm receipt of the acceptance of the offer electronically. As long as the receipt of this acceptance has not been confirmed by the entrepreneur, the consumer can dissolve the agreement.
3. If the agreement 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 observe appropriate security measures.
4. The entrepreneur can, within legal frameworks, ascertain whether the consumer can meet their payment obligations, as well as all facts and factors that are important for a responsible conclusion of the distance agreement. If the entrepreneur has good grounds not to enter into the agreement based on this investigation, they are entitled to refuse an order or request with reasons, or to attach special conditions to the execution.
5. The entrepreneur will send 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:
6. the visiting address of the entrepreneur's establishment where the consumer can lodge complaints;
7. the conditions under which and the manner in which the consumer can make use of the right of withdrawal, or a clear statement regarding the exclusion of the right of withdrawal;
8. information about guarantees and existing after-sales service;
9. the price including all taxes of the product, service or digital content; where applicable, the costs of delivery; and the method of payment, delivery or execution of the distance agreement;
10. the requirements for terminating the agreement if the agreement has a duration of more than one year or is of indefinite duration;
11. if the consumer has a right of withdrawal, the model withdrawal form.
12. In the case of a duration transaction, the provision in the previous paragraph only applies to the first delivery.
Article 6 – Right of withdrawal
For products:
1. The consumer can dissolve an agreement regarding the purchase of a product during a cooling-off period of at least 14 days without giving reasons. The entrepreneur may ask the consumer for the reason for withdrawal, but cannot oblige them to state their reason(s).
2. The cooling-off period mentioned in paragraph 1 starts on the day after the consumer, or a third party designated by the consumer in advance, who is not the carrier, has received the product, or:
3. if the consumer has ordered several products in the same order: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by them, received the last product. The entrepreneur may, provided that they have clearly informed the consumer about this before the ordering process, refuse an order for several products with different delivery times.
4. if the delivery of a product consists of several shipments or parts: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by them, received the last shipment or the last part;
1. for agreements for regular delivery of products over a certain period: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by them, received the first product.
For services and digital content not supplied on a tangible medium:
3. The consumer can dissolve a service agreement and an agreement for the delivery of digital content not supplied on a tangible medium for at least 14 days without giving reasons. The entrepreneur may ask the consumer for the reason for withdrawal, but cannot oblige them to state their reason(s).
4. The cooling-off period mentioned in paragraph 3 starts on the day following the conclusion of the agreement.
Extended cooling-off period for products, services and digital content not supplied on a tangible medium if information about the right of withdrawal is not provided:
5. If the entrepreneur has not provided the consumer with the legally required information about the right of withdrawal or the model withdrawal form, the cooling-off period expires twelve months after the end of the original cooling-off period established in accordance with the previous paragraphs of this article.
6. If the entrepreneur has provided the consumer with the information referred to in the previous paragraph within twelve months of the start date of the original cooling-off period, the cooling-off period expires 14 days after the day on which the consumer received that information.
Article 7 – Obligations of the consumer during the cooling-off period
1. During the cooling-off period, the consumer will handle the product and its packaging with care. They will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to determine the nature, characteristics and functioning of the product. The basic principle here is that the consumer may only handle and inspect the product as they would be allowed to in a store.
2. The consumer is only liable for any diminished value of the product that results from handling the product in a way that goes beyond what is permitted in paragraph 1.
3. The consumer is not liable for any diminished value of the product if the entrepreneur has not provided them with all legally required information about the right of withdrawal before or at the conclusion of the agreement.
Article 8 – Exercise of the right of withdrawal by the consumer and the costs thereof
1. If the consumer exercises their right of withdrawal, they notify the entrepreneur of this within the cooling-off period by means of the model withdrawal form or by any other unambiguous method.
2. 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 necessary if the entrepreneur has offered to collect the product themselves. The consumer has in any case complied with the return period if they return the product before the cooling-off period has expired.
3. The consumer returns the product with all supplied accessories, if reasonably possible in its original state and packaging, and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.
4. The risk and the burden of proof for the correct and timely exercise of the right of withdrawal lies with the consumer.
5. The consumer bears the direct costs of returning the product. If the entrepreneur has not notified the consumer that these costs must be borne by the consumer, or if the entrepreneur indicates that they will bear the costs themselves, the consumer does not have to bear the costs of return.
6. If the consumer withdraws after having explicitly 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 specific quantity commences during the cooling-off period, the consumer owes the entrepreneur an amount proportionate to that part of the obligation fulfilled by the entrepreneur at the time of withdrawal, compared to the full fulfillment of the obligation.
7. The consumer does not bear any costs for the performance of services or the supply of water, gas or electricity, which have not been made ready for sale in a limited volume or quantity, or for the supply of district heating, if:
8. the entrepreneur has not provided the consumer with the legally required information about the right of withdrawal, the cost compensation upon withdrawal or the model withdrawal form, or;
9. the consumer has not explicitly requested the commencement of the performance of the service or the supply of gas, water, electricity or district heating during the cooling-off period.
10. The consumer bears no costs for the full or partial delivery of digital content not supplied on a tangible medium, if:
11. they have not explicitly consented to the commencement of the performance of the agreement before the end of the cooling-off period;
12. they have not acknowledged losing their right of withdrawal when giving their consent; or
13. the entrepreneur has failed to confirm this statement from the consumer.
14. If the consumer exercises their right of withdrawal, all additional agreements are dissolved by operation of law.
Article 9 – Obligations of the entrepreneur in case of withdrawal
1. If the entrepreneur enables the consumer's withdrawal notification electronically, they will immediately send a confirmation of receipt after receiving this notification.
2. The entrepreneur will reimburse all payments made by the consumer, including any delivery costs charged by the entrepreneur for the returned product, without undue delay but within 14 days following the day on which the consumer notifies them of the withdrawal. Unless the entrepreneur offers to collect the product themselves, they may wait with reimbursement until they have received the product or until the consumer demonstrates that they have returned the product, whichever is earlier.
3. The entrepreneur will use the same payment method that the consumer used for reimbursement, unless the consumer agrees to another method. The reimbursement is free of charge for the consumer.
4. If the consumer has opted for a more expensive method of delivery than the cheapest standard delivery, the entrepreneur does not have to reimburse the additional costs for the more expensive method.
Article 10 – Exclusion of the right of withdrawal
The entrepreneur can exclude the following products and services from the right of withdrawal, but only if the entrepreneur has clearly stated this in the offer, or at least in good time before the conclusion of the agreement:
1. Products or services whose price is subject to fluctuations in the financial market over which the entrepreneur has no influence and which can occur within the withdrawal period.
2. Agreements concluded during a public auction. A public auction means a sales method where products, digital content and/or services are offered by the entrepreneur to the consumer who is personally present or is given the opportunity to be personally present at the auction, under the direction of an auctioneer, and where the successful bidder is obliged to purchase the products, digital content and/or services;
3. Service agreements, after full performance of the service, but only if:
4. the performance has begun with the consumer's express prior consent; and
5. the consumer has declared that he loses his right of withdrawal as soon as the entrepreneur has fully performed the agreement;
6. Service agreements for the provision of accommodation, if the agreement provides for a specific date or period of performance and other than for residential purposes, freight transport, car rental services and catering;
7. Agreements relating to leisure activities, if the agreement provides for a specific date or period of performance thereof;
8. Products manufactured according to the consumer's specifications, which are not prefabricated and which are manufactured on the basis of an individual choice or decision of the consumer, or which are clearly intended for a specific person;
9. Products that spoil quickly or have a limited shelf life;
10. Sealed products that are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene and whose seal has been broken after delivery;
11. Products that, after delivery, are irrevocably mixed with other products due to their nature;
12. Alcoholic beverages whose price has been agreed upon when the agreement was concluded, but whose delivery can only take place after 30 days, and whose actual value depends on market fluctuations over which the entrepreneur has no influence;
13. Sealed audio, video recordings and computer software, whose seal has been broken after delivery;
14. Newspapers, periodicals or magazines, with the exception of subscriptions thereto;
15. The delivery of digital content other than on a tangible medium, but only if:
16. the performance has begun with the consumer's express prior consent; and
17. the consumer has declared that he thereby loses his right of withdrawal.
Article 11 – The price
1. During the validity period stated in the offer, the prices of the offered products and/or services will not be increased, except for price changes due to changes in VAT rates.
2. Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur may offer products or services whose prices are subject to fluctuations in the financial market and over which the entrepreneur has no influence, with variable prices. This dependence on fluctuations and the fact that any stated prices are target prices, are mentioned in the offer.
3. Price increases within 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if they are the result of legal regulations or provisions.
4. Price increases from 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if the entrepreneur has stipulated this and:
5. these are the result of legal regulations or provisions; or
6. the consumer has the right to terminate the agreement with effect from the day on which the price increase takes effect.
7. The prices stated in the offer of products or services are including VAT.
Article 12 – Performance of agreement and extra warranty
1. The entrepreneur guarantees that the products and/or services comply with the agreement, the specifications stated 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 agreement. If agreed, the entrepreneur also guarantees that the product is suitable for other than normal use.
2. An extra 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 under the agreement if the entrepreneur has failed to fulfill his part of the agreement.
3. Extra warranty means any commitment of the entrepreneur, his supplier, importer or producer in which he grants the consumer certain rights or claims that go beyond what he is legally obliged to do in case he has failed to fulfill his part of the agreement.
Article 13 – Delivery and execution
1. The entrepreneur will exercise the greatest possible care when receiving and executing orders for products and when assessing applications for the provision of services.
2. The place of delivery is the address that the consumer has made known to the entrepreneur.
3. With due observance of what is stated in article 4 of these general terms and conditions, the entrepreneur will execute accepted orders with due speed, but no later than within 30 days, unless a different 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 notified of this no later than 30 days after placing the order. In that case, the consumer has the right to dissolve the agreement without costs and is entitled to any compensation.
4. After dissolution in accordance with the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur will immediately repay the amount paid by the consumer.
5. 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 expressly agreed otherwise.
Article 14 – Duration transactions: duration, termination and renewal
Termination:

4. An agreement entered into for a definite period and which concerns the regular delivery of products (including electricity) or services, may not be tacitly renewed or extended for a definite period.
5. Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, an agreement entered into for a definite period and which concerns the regular delivery of daily, news and weekly newspapers and magazines may be tacitly extended for a definite period of a maximum of three months, if the consumer can terminate this extended agreement at the end of the extension with a notice period of a maximum of one month.
6. An agreement entered into for a definite period and which concerns the regular delivery of products or services, may only be tacitly extended for an indefinite period if the consumer can terminate at any time with a notice period of a maximum of one month.

Duration:
8. If an agreement has a duration of more than one year, the consumer may terminate the agreement at any time after one year with a notice period of a maximum of one month, unless reasonableness and fairness oppose termination before the end of the agreed duration.
Article 15 – Payment
1. Unless otherwise stipulated in the agreement or additional conditions, the amounts owed by the consumer must be paid within 14 days after the start of the cooling-off period, or in the absence of a cooling-off period within 14 days after the conclusion of the agreement. In the case of an agreement for the provision of a service, this period starts on the day after the consumer has received confirmation of the agreement.
2. When selling products to consumers, the consumer may never be obliged in general terms and conditions to pay more than 50% in advance. If advance payment has been stipulated, the consumer cannot assert any rights regarding the execution of the relevant order or service(s) until the stipulated advance payment has been made.
3. The consumer has the duty to immediately report inaccuracies in provided or stated payment details to the entrepreneur.
4. If the consumer does not meet his payment obligation(s) in time, he will, after being reminded by the entrepreneur of the late payment and the entrepreneur having granted the consumer a period of 14 days to still meet his payment obligations, after the failure to pay within this 14-day period, owe the statutory interest on the outstanding amount and the entrepreneur is entitled to charge the extrajudicial collection costs incurred by him. These collection costs amount to a maximum of: 15% on outstanding amounts up to € 2,500; 10% on the next € 2,500; and 5% on the next € 5,000, with a minimum of € 40. The entrepreneur can deviate from the aforementioned amounts and percentages in favor of the consumer.
Article 16 – Complaints procedure
1. The entrepreneur has a sufficiently publicized complaints procedure and handles complaints in accordance with this complaints procedure.
2. Complaints about the performance of the agreement must be submitted to the entrepreneur fully and clearly described within a reasonable time after the consumer has discovered the defects.
3. 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.
4. A complaint about a product, service or the service of the entrepreneur can also be submitted via a complaint form on the consumer page of the website of Stichting Webshop Keurmerk (http://keurmerk.info/Home/MisbruikOfKlacht) The complaint will then be sent to both the entrepreneur concerned and Stichting Webshop Keurmerk.
5. If the complaint cannot be resolved by mutual agreement within a reasonable period or within 3 months after submission, a dispute arises that is subject to the dispute settlement procedure.
Article 17 – Disputes
1. Agreements between the entrepreneur and the consumer to which these general terms and conditions apply are exclusively governed by Dutch law.
2. Disputes between the consumer and the entrepreneur regarding the conclusion or performance of agreements concerning products and services to be supplied or supplied by this entrepreneur, can, with due observance of what is stated below, be submitted by both the consumer and the entrepreneur to the Disputes Committee Webshop, Postbus 90600, 2509 LP The Hague (sgc.nl).
3. A dispute will only be handled by the Disputes Committee if the consumer has first submitted his complaint to the entrepreneur within a reasonable time.
4. No later than twelve months after the dispute has arisen, the dispute must be submitted in writing to the Disputes Committee.
5. When the consumer wants to submit a dispute to the Disputes Committee, the entrepreneur is bound by this choice. When the entrepreneur wants to do so, the consumer must state in writing within five weeks after a written request thereto by the entrepreneur whether he also wishes to do so or wants the dispute to be handled by the competent court. If the entrepreneur does not receive the consumer's choice within the five-week period, the entrepreneur is entitled to submit the dispute to the competent court.
6. The Disputes Committee rules under the conditions as these are established in the regulations of the Disputes Committee (http://www.degeschillencommissie.nl/over-ons/de-commissies/2701/webshop). The decisions of the Disputes Committee are binding advice.
7. The Disputes Committee will not handle a dispute or will discontinue the handling if the entrepreneur has been granted a moratorium, has been declared bankrupt or has actually ceased his business activities, before a dispute has been handled by the committee at the hearing and a final judgment has been rendered.
8. If, in addition to the Webshop Disputes Committee, another recognized disputes committee affiliated with the Stichting Geschillencommissies voor Consumentenzaken (SGC) or the Klachteninstituut Financiële Dienstverlening (Kifid) is competent, the Webshop Keurmerk Foundation Disputes Committee is preferably competent for disputes concerning mainly the method of distance selling or service provision. For all other disputes, the other recognized disputes committee affiliated with SGC or Kifid.
Article 18 – Industry Guarantee
1. Stichting Webshop Keurmerk guarantees the fulfillment of the binding advice of the Stichting Webshop Keurmerk Disputes Committee by its members, unless the member decides to submit the binding advice for review to the court within two months after its dispatch. This guarantee revives if the binding advice has been upheld after review by the court and the judgment from which this appears has become final. Up to a maximum amount of €10,000 per binding advice, this amount will be paid by Stichting Webshop Keurmerk to the consumer. For amounts greater than €10,000 per binding advice, €10,000 will be paid. For the excess, Stichting Webshop Keurmerk has a best-efforts obligation to ensure that the member complies with the binding advice.
2. For the application of this guarantee, it is required that the consumer makes a written appeal thereto to Stichting Webshop Keurmerk and that he transfers his claim against the entrepreneur to Stichting Webshop Keurmerk. If the claim against the entrepreneur exceeds €10,000, the consumer is offered to transfer his claim, to the extent that it exceeds €10,000, to Stichting Webshop Keurmerk, after which this organization will legally demand payment thereof in its own name and at its own expense to satisfy the consumer.
Article 19 – Additional or deviating provisions
Additional provisions or provisions deviating from these general terms and 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.
