Article 3 – Applicability

These general terms and conditions apply to every offer made by the trader and to every distance contract concluded between the trader and the consumer.
Before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions is made available to the consumer. If this is not reasonably possible, the trader will indicate, before the distance contract is concluded, how the general terms and conditions can be inspected at the trader's premises and that they will be sent to the consumer free of charge as soon as possible on request.
If the distance contract is concluded electronically, then, 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 it on a durable medium. 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 at the consumer's request, electronically or otherwise.
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 in the event of conflicting conditions the consumer may always rely on the applicable provision that is most favourable to them.

Article 4 – The offer

If an offer has a limited period of validity or is subject to conditions, this is expressly stated in the offer.
The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products, digital content and/or services offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to allow the consumer to properly assess the offer. If the trader uses images, these are a true representation of the products, services and/or digital content offered. Obvious mistakes or obvious errors in the offer are not binding on the trader.
Every offer contains such information that it is clear to the consumer what rights and obligations are attached to accepting the offer.

Article 5 – The contract

Subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, the contract is concluded at the moment the consumer accepts the offer and meets the corresponding conditions.
If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the trader will immediately confirm receipt of the acceptance of the offer electronically. As long as receipt of this acceptance has not been confirmed by the trader, the consumer may cancel the contract.
If the contract is concluded electronically, the trader will take appropriate technical and organisational measures to secure the electronic transfer of data and will ensure a secure web environment. If the consumer can pay electronically, the trader will observe appropriate security measures to that end.
Within the statutory framework, the trader may inform itself whether the consumer can meet their payment obligations, as well as of all those facts and factors that are relevant to a responsible conclusion of the distance contract. If, on the basis of this investigation, the trader has good grounds not to enter into the contract, it is entitled to refuse an order or request, giving reasons, or to attach special conditions to its execution.
No later than upon delivery of the product, service or digital content to the consumer, the trader will send the following information, in writing or in such a way that the consumer can store it in an accessible manner on a durable medium:
the visiting address of the trader's establishment where the consumer can lodge complaints;
the conditions under which and the manner in which the consumer can exercise the right of withdrawal, or a clear statement regarding the exclusion of the right of withdrawal;
information about warranties and existing after-sales service;
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 performance of the distance contract;
the requirements for terminating the contract if the contract has a duration of more than one year or is of indefinite duration;
if the consumer has a right of withdrawal, the model withdrawal form.
In the case of a continuing performance contract, the provision in the previous paragraph applies only to the first delivery.

Article 6 – Right of withdrawal

For products:

The consumer may cancel a contract relating to the purchase of a small product during a cooling-off period of at least 14 days without giving reasons. The trader may ask the consumer for the reason for withdrawal, but may not oblige them to state their reason(s).
Upon delivery of large products (cabinets, sofas, tables etc.), the consumer may inspect the product at the door or in the transport company's lorry. If the product then does not meet the consumer's expectations, the transport company can take it back. Once the product is in the consumer's home, it can no longer be taken back.
The cooling-off period referred to in paragraph 1 starts on the day after the consumer, or a third party designated in advance by the consumer who is not the carrier, has received the product, or:
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 trader may, provided it has clearly informed the consumer of this prior to the ordering process, refuse an order of several products with different delivery times.
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;

Article 7 – Obligations of the consumer during the cooling-off period

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 establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the product. The basic principle is that the consumer may only handle and inspect the product as they would be allowed to do in a shop.
The consumer is only liable for any reduction in the value of the product resulting from handling the product beyond what is permitted in paragraph 1.
The consumer is not liable for any reduction in the value of the product if the trader has not provided them with all the legally required information about the right of withdrawal before or at the conclusion of the contract.

Article 8 – Exercise of the right of withdrawal by the consumer and costs thereof

If the consumer makes use of their right of withdrawal, they will notify the trader within the cooling-off period by means of the model withdrawal form or in another unambiguous manner.
As quickly 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 authorised representative of) the trader. This is not necessary if the trader has offered to collect the product itself. The consumer has in any case observed the return period if they return the product before the cooling-off period has expired.
The consumer returns the product with all accessories supplied, if reasonably possible in its original condition and packaging, and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the trader.
The risk and the burden of proof for the correct and timely exercise of the right of withdrawal lie with the consumer.
The consumer bears the direct costs of returning the product. If the trader has not stated that the consumer must bear these costs, or if the trader indicates that it will bear the costs itself, the consumer does not have to bear the costs of return.

Article 9 – Obligations of the trader in the event of withdrawal

If the trader makes it possible for the consumer to notify withdrawal electronically, it will send an acknowledgement of receipt immediately after receiving this notification.
The trader will refund all payments made by the consumer, including any delivery costs charged by the trader for the returned product, without delay but within 14 days following the day on which the consumer notifies the withdrawal. Unless the trader offers to collect the product itself, it may wait with the refund until it has received the product or until the consumer demonstrates that they have returned the product, whichever is earlier.
The trader uses the same means of payment for the refund that the consumer used, unless the consumer agrees to another method. The refund is free of charge for the consumer.
If the consumer has chosen a more expensive method of delivery than the cheapest standard delivery, the trader does not have to refund the additional costs of the more expensive method.
If a product is not returned in its original packaging or the packaging is damaged (for example torn or dented), we are obliged to charge €50. These costs cover repackaging and/or the reduction in the value of the product.

Article 10 – Exclusion of the right of withdrawal

The trader may exclude the following products and services from the right of withdrawal, but only if the trader has clearly stated this in the offer, or at least in good time before the conclusion of the contract:

Products or services whose price is subject to fluctuations in the financial market over which the trader has no influence and which may occur within the withdrawal period;
Contracts concluded during a public auction. A public auction is a method of sale whereby products, digital content and/or services are offered by the trader 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 whereby the successful bidder is obliged to purchase the products, digital content and/or services;
Service contracts, after full performance of the service, but only if:
performance has begun with the express prior consent of the consumer; and
the consumer has declared that they lose their right of withdrawal once the trader has fully performed the contract;

Article 11 – The price

During the period of validity stated in the offer, the prices of the products and/or services offered will not be increased, except for price changes resulting from changes in VAT rates.
Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, the trader may offer products or services whose prices are subject to fluctuations in the financial market over which the trader has no influence at variable prices. This link to fluctuations and the fact that any prices stated are indicative prices will be stated in the offer.
Price increases within 3 months of the conclusion of the contract are only permitted if they result from statutory regulations or provisions.
Price increases from 3 months after the conclusion of the contract are only permitted if the trader has stipulated this and:
they result from statutory regulations or provisions; or
the consumer has the right to terminate the contract with effect from the day on which the price increase takes effect.
The prices stated in the offer of products or services include VAT.

Article 12 – Performance of the contract and additional warranty

The trader guarantees that the products and/or services comply with the contract, the specifications stated in the offer, the reasonable requirements of soundness and/or usability and the statutory provisions and/or government regulations existing on the date the contract was concluded. If agreed, the trader also guarantees that the product is suitable for use other than normal use.
An additional warranty provided by the trader, its supplier, manufacturer or importer never limits the statutory rights and claims that the consumer can assert against the trader under the contract if the trader has failed to fulfil its part of the contract.
An additional warranty is understood to mean any commitment by the trader, its supplier, importer or producer in which it grants the consumer certain rights or claims that go beyond what it is legally obliged to provide in the event that it has failed to fulfil its part of the contract.

Article 13 – Delivery and execution

The trader will exercise the greatest possible care when receiving and executing orders for products and when assessing requests for the provision of services.
The place of delivery is the address that the consumer has made known to the trader.
With due observance of what is stated in Article 4 of these general terms and conditions, the trader will execute accepted orders with due speed but no later than within 30 days, unless a different delivery period has been agreed. If delivery is delayed, or if an order cannot be executed or can only be executed in part, 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 cancel the contract free of charge and is entitled to any compensation.
After cancellation in accordance with the previous paragraph, the trader will refund the amount paid by the consumer without delay.
The risk of damage to and/or loss of products rests with the trader until the moment of delivery to the consumer or a representative designated in advance and made known to the trader, unless expressly agreed otherwise.

Article 14 – Payment

Unless otherwise stipulated in the contract 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 contract. In the case of a contract for the provision of a service, this period starts on the day after the consumer has received confirmation of the contract.
When selling products to consumers, the consumer may never be obliged in general terms and conditions to pay more than 50% in advance. Where advance payment has been stipulated, the consumer cannot assert any right regarding the execution of the order or service(s) concerned before the stipulated advance payment has been made.
The consumer is obliged to report any inaccuracies in payment details provided or stated to the trader without delay.
If the consumer does not meet their payment obligation(s) in time, then, after the trader has pointed out the late payment and has granted the consumer a period of 14 days to still meet their payment obligations, and after payment has not been made within this 14-day period, the consumer owes statutory interest on the amount still due and the trader is entitled to charge the extrajudicial collection costs it has incurred. 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 trader may deviate from the stated amounts and percentages in favour of the consumer.

Article 15 – Complaints procedure

The trader has a sufficiently publicised complaints procedure and handles complaints in accordance with this procedure.
Complaints about the performance of the contract must be submitted to the trader, fully and clearly described, within a reasonable time after the consumer has discovered the defects.
Complaints submitted to the trader will be answered within 14 days from the date of receipt. If a complaint requires a foreseeably longer processing time, the trader will respond within the 14-day period with an acknowledgement of receipt and an indication of when the consumer can expect a more detailed answer.
The consumer must in any case give the trader 4 weeks to resolve the complaint by mutual agreement. After this period, a dispute arises that is eligible for the dispute resolution procedure.

Article 16 – Disputes

Contracts between the trader and the consumer to which these general terms and conditions apply are governed exclusively by Dutch law.

Article 17 – 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 the consumer can store them in an accessible manner on a durable medium.
