Article 3 - Applicability
- These general terms and conditions apply to every offer from the entrepreneur and every distance agreement concluded between the entrepreneur and the consumer.
- 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, it will be indicated before the distance agreement is concluded that the general terms and conditions can be viewed at the entrepreneur's premises and will be sent free of charge as soon as possible at the consumer's request.
- If the distance agreement is concluded electronically, the text of these general terms and conditions can be made available electronically to the consumer 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 where the general terms and conditions can be viewed electronically and that they will be sent free of charge at the consumer's request, either 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 the consumer can always rely on the most favorable provision applicable to them in the event of conflicting general terms and conditions.
Article 4 - The Offer
- If an offer has a limited validity period or is made under certain conditions, this will be explicitly stated in the offer.
- 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 entrepreneur uses images, these are a true representation of the products and/or services offered. Obvious mistakes or errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.
- Each offer contains sufficient information to make it clear to the consumer what rights and obligations are attached to accepting the offer. This concerns, in particular:
- The price, including taxes;
- Any costs of delivery;
- The way in which the agreement will be concluded and what actions are required for this;
- Whether or not the right of withdrawal is applicable;
- The method of payment, delivery, and execution of the agreement;
- The period for accepting the offer or the period within which the entrepreneur guarantees the price;
- The rate for distance communication if the costs of using the technology for distance communication are calculated on a basis other than the basic rate;
- If the agreement is archived after its conclusion, how the consumer can consult it;
- The way the consumer can become aware of actions they do not want before concluding the agreement, as well as how they can rectify these before the agreement is concluded;
- The languages in which, besides Dutch, the agreement can be concluded;
- The codes of conduct to which the entrepreneur is subject and the way the consumer can consult these codes of conduct electronically; and
- The minimum duration of the distance agreement in case of a contract that involves continuous or periodic delivery of products or services.
Article 5 - The Agreement
- The agreement is concluded, subject to the provisions in paragraph 4, at the moment of acceptance by the consumer of the offer and the fulfillment of the conditions stipulated.
- 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, the consumer can dissolve the agreement.
- 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 safe web environment. If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate security measures.
- The entrepreneur may, within legal frameworks, obtain information about whether the consumer can meet their payment obligations, as well as all facts and factors relevant to a responsible conclusion of the distance 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 request or to attach special conditions to the execution.

- During this period, the consumer will handle the product and packaging with care. He will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to assess whether he wishes to keep the product.
