Article 3 - Applicability
These general conditions apply to any offer by the entrepreneur and any distance contract between the entrepreneur and the consumer.
Before concluding the distance contract, the text of these general 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 conditions are available for consultation by the consumer and, upon request, will be sent free of charge as soon as possible.
If the distance contract is concluded electronically, the text of these general conditions may be provided electronically to the consumer before the contract is concluded, so that it can be easily stored on a durable data carrier. If this is not reasonably possible, it will be indicated where the consumer can consult the general conditions electronically, and they will be sent, at the consumer's request, by electronic or other means, free of charge.
In case specific conditions for products or services apply alongside these general conditions, the second and third paragraphs will apply accordingly, and the consumer may invoke the provision that benefits them the most if the general conditions are contradictory.Article 4 - The Offer
If an offer has a limited duration or is subject to conditions, this will be explicitly stated in the offer.
The offer will include a complete and accurate description of the offered products and/or services. The description will be detailed enough to allow the consumer to properly assess the offer. If the entrepreneur uses images, they must be a faithful representation of the offered products and/or services. Obvious errors or mistakes in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.
Each offer will include the necessary information to allow the consumer to understand their rights and obligations upon accepting the offer. This includes, in particular:- The price including taxes;
- Delivery costs, if any;
- How the contract will be concluded and what actions are required for this;
- Whether the right of withdrawal applies or not;
- Payment, delivery, or execution methods;
- The period to accept the offer or pay the price;
- The communication charge for remote communication if the costs for the technology used for remote communication are different from the basic rate;
- Whether the contract is filed after being concluded, and how the consumer can access it;
- How the consumer will be informed of unwanted actions before concluding the contract, and how they can correct them before the contract is concluded;
- The languages in which, in addition to Spanish, the contract can be concluded;
- The codes of conduct the entrepreneur adheres to and how the consumer can consult them electronically;
- The minimum duration of the distance contract for agreements involving continuous or periodic delivery of products or services.
Article 5 - The Contract
The contract is concluded when the consumer accepts the offer and fulfills the conditions stated therein, unless stated otherwise in paragraph 4.
If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the entrepreneur will confirm the receipt of the acceptance without delay by electronic means. Until this confirmation is received, the consumer can cancel the contract.
If the contract is concluded electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the electronic transfer of data and ensure a secure web environment. If the consumer can make an electronic payment, the entrepreneur will take appropriate security measures.
The entrepreneur may, within legal limits, verify whether the consumer can fulfill their payment obligations, as well as any relevant facts or factors for concluding the distance contract responsibly. If the entrepreneur has reasonable grounds to reject the contract based on this investigation, they have the right to reject an order or request, or to impose special conditions for execution.
The entrepreneur will provide the consumer with the following information in writing or in a way that the consumer can store it in a durable data carrier:- The address of the entrepreneur's establishment where the consumer can submit complaints;
- The conditions and the way in which the consumer can exercise the right of withdrawal, or a clear statement regarding the exclusion of this right;
- Information about after-sales service and existing guarantees;
- The details mentioned in Article 4, paragraph 3, unless already provided to the consumer before the contract's execution;
- The cancellation requirements if the contract lasts more than one year or is indefinite.
If the entrepreneur is obliged to deliver a series of products or services, the above provision will only apply to the first delivery.

During this period, the consumer must handle the product and its packaging with care. It should only be unpacked or used to the extent necessary to assess whether they want to keep the product. If the consumer decides to exercise the right of withdrawal, they must return the product with all accessories and, if reasonably possible, in its original condition and packaging, following the clear and reasonable instructions provided by the entrepreneur.Article 7 - Costs of Exercising the Right of Withdrawal
If the consumer exercises their right of withdrawal, the return shipping costs will be at their expense, at most. If using the product causes depreciation, the consumer will be responsible for it.

The refund can be made once the purchased products are received.
Article 8 - Exclusion of the Right of Withdrawal

Price increases after 3 months are only allowed if agreed upon by the entrepreneur and:

Article 10 - Compliance and Guarantee
The entrepreneur guarantees that the products and/or services comply with the contract, the specifications mentioned in the offer, reasonable quality requirements, and the applicable legal and governmental regulations at the time of concluding the contract. Any guarantee offered by the entrepreneur, manufacturer, or importer does not affect the rights and claims the consumer can exercise for a breach of the entrepreneur’s obligations under the law and/or the distance contract. Customers should send any broken products during the warranty period to the address provided by Dimay B.V. The products must retain the original lamp label.
Article 11 - Delivery and Execution
The entrepreneur will take the utmost care when receiving and executing product orders and evaluating service requests. The delivery address will be the one provided by the consumer.

If there are delays in delivery, or if an order cannot be fully executed, the consumer will be notified within one month of placing the order. In such cases, the consumer has the right to cancel the contract without any costs and may be entitled to compensation. In the event of cancellation, the entrepreneur will refund the amount paid by the consumer as soon as possible, but within a maximum of 30 days after the cancellation. If the delivery of an ordered product is impossible, the entrepreneur will try to offer a substitute item. At the time of delivery, it will be clearly communicated that a substitute item is being delivered. The right of withdrawal cannot be excluded for substitute products. The costs of return will be borne by the entrepreneur.
