Article 3 - Applicability

1. These general terms and conditions apply to every offer by the entrepreneur and to every distance contract concluded between entrepreneur and consumer.
2. Before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general conditions will be made available to the consumer. If this is not reasonably possible, before the remote agreement is concluded, it will be indicated that the general terms and conditions are available for inspection at the entrepreneur's premises and that they will be sent free of charge to the consumer as soon as possible upon request.
3. If the distance contract is concluded electronically, contrary to the previous paragraph and before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions can be made available to the consumer electronically in such a way that it can be stored by the consumer in a simple manner 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 inspected electronically and that they will be sent electronically or otherwise free of charge at the consumer's request.
4. In case specific product or service conditions apply in addition to these general terms and conditions, the second and third paragraphs shall apply accordingly and in case of conflicting general terms and conditions, the consumer may always rely on the applicable provision that is most favourable to him.

Article 4 - The offer

1. If an offer has a limited period of validity or is made subject to conditions, this will be explicitly stated in the offer.
2. The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products and/or services on offer. The description is sufficiently detailed to enable a proper assessment of the offer by the consumer. If the entrepreneur uses images, these are a truthful representation of the offered products and/or services. Obvious mistakes or errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.
3. 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

a) the price including taxes;

b) the possible costs of delivery

c) the way in which the agreement will be concluded and which actions are necessary for this;

d) whether or not the right of withdrawal is applicable;

e) the method of payment, delivery or performance of the agreement;

f) the period for accepting the offer, or the period for adhering to the price;

g) the level of the rate of distance communication if the costs of using the technology for distance communication are calculated on a basis other than the basic rate;

h) if the agreement is archived after conclusion, in what way it can be consulted by the consumer;

i) the manner in which the consumer can become aware of acts not wanted by him before the conclusion of the agreement, as well as the manner in which he can rectify these acts before the agreement is concluded;

j) any languages other than Dutch in which the contract can be concluded;

k) the codes of conduct to which the trader is subject and the manner in which the consumer can consult these codes of conduct electronically; and

l) the minimum duration of the distance contract in case of a contract for continuous or periodical delivery of products or services.

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 fulfils the conditions thereby stipulated.
2. If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the trader will immediately confirm receipt of acceptance of the offer electronically. As long as the receipt of this acceptance has not been confirmed, the consumer can dissolve the agreement.
3. If the agreement is concluded electronically, the entrepreneur shall take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the electronic transfer of data and shall 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 - inform himself whether the consumer can meet his payment obligations, as well as of all those facts and factors that are important for a responsible conclusion of the remote agreement. If, on the basis of this investigation, the entrepreneur has good grounds not to enter into the agreement, he is entitled to refuse an order or application or to attach special conditions to the implementation, while giving reasons.
5. The entrepreneur will include 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 way on a durable data carrier:

   b) the conditions under which and the way in which the consumer can make use of the right of withdrawal, or a clear notification regarding the exclusion of the right of withdrawal;
   c) the information on existing after-sales services and guarantees;
   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

He will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to assess whether he wishes to keep the product.
