Article 3 – Applicability

  • These general terms and conditions apply to every offer from the entrepreneur and to every distance contract and orders concluded between entrepreneur and 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 can be viewed at the entrepreneur and that they will be sent free of charge to the consumer as soon as possible at the consumer's request.
  • If the distance contract is concluded electronically, notwithstanding 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 electronically in such a way that the consumer can easily store them on a durable data carrier. If this is not reasonably possible, it will 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 to the consumer electronically or otherwise at the consumer's request.
  • In the event that specific product or service conditions apply in addition to these general terms and conditions, the second and third paragraphs apply accordingly and the consumer can always invoke the applicable provision that is most favourable to him in the event of conflicting general terms and conditions.
  • If one or more provisions in these general terms and conditions are at any time wholly or partially null and void or are annulled, the agreement and these terms and conditions will otherwise remain in force and the provision in question will be replaced without delay by mutual agreement by a provision that approximates the purport of the original as closely as possible.

  • The offer is without obligation. The entrepreneur is entitled to change and adjust the offer.
  • The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products and/or services offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to enable the consumer to properly assess the offer. If the entrepreneur uses images, these are a true representation of the products and/or services offered. Obvious mistakes or obvious errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.

    • any other languages ​​in which, in addition to Dutch, the agreement may be concluded;
    • the codes of conduct to which the entrepreneur has submitted and the manner in which the consumer can consult these codes of conduct electronically; and
    • the minimum duration of the distance contract in the event of a long-term transaction. Optional: available sizes, colours, type of materials.

Article 5 – The agreement

  • Subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, the agreement is concluded at the time the consumer accepts the offer and meets the conditions set therein.

If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate security measures.
  • The entrepreneur can – within legal frameworks – inform himself 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.
