Article 3 – Applicability

1. These general terms and conditions apply to each offer by the company and to each distance agreement formed between the company and the consumer.
2. Before the distance agreement formed, the text of these general terms and conditions is made available to the consumer. If this is reasonably not possible the company will, before the distance agreement is formed, indicate how the general terms and conditions can be inspected at the company and that they will be sent to the consumer as soon as possible and free of charge at the request of the consumer.
3. If the distance agreement is formed electronically, then in departure from the previous paragraph and before the distance agreement is formed, the text of these general terms and condition can be made available to the consumer via electronic means in such a way that it can be easily stored by the consumer on a permanent data carrier. If this is reasonably not possible the company will, before the distance agreement is formed, indicate where the general terms and conditions can be electronically inspected or will be sent in any other way free of charge.
4. In the event that in addition to these general terms, specific product or service conditions apply, the second and third paragraph apply equally and in the event of conflicting conditions the consumer can always rely on the applicable provision most favourable to him.

Article 4 – The offer

1. If an offer has a restricted term of validity or is issued under conditions, this will be expressly stated in the offer.
2. The offer contains a full and accurate description of the offered products, digital content and/or services. The description is sufficiently detailed to allow the consumer to make a proper assessment of the offer. If the company uses images, they are a true depiction of the offered products, services and/or digital content. Obvious mistakes or errors in the offer do not bind the company.
3. Each offer contains such information that it is clear to the consumer what the rights and obligations are that are attached to the acceptance of the offer.

Article 5 – The agreement

1. Subject to the provisions in paragraph 4, the agreement is formed the moment the consumer accepts the offer and satisfies the attached conditions.
2. If the consumer has accepted the offer via electronic means, the company immediately acknowledges receipt of the acceptance of the offer via electronic means. As long as the receipt of this acceptance has not been confirmed by the company, the consumer can terminate the agreement.
3. If the agreement is formed electronically, the company takes suitable technical and organisational measures to protect the electronic transfer of data and is responsible for a safe web environment. If the consumer is able to pay electronically, the company will have suitable security measures in place.
4. Within the statutory framework, the company can ascertain whether the consumer is able to fulfil his payment obligations and all the facts and factors that are important for responsibly entering into a distance contract. If on the basis of this investigation, the company has good grounds not to enter into the agreement, the company is entitled to refuse an order or request, or to attach special conditions to its performance. In the event of a continuing performance contract, the provision in the previous paragraph only applies to the first delivery.

Article 6 – Right to cancel

For products:

1. The consumer can terminate an agreement relating to the purchase of a product during a cooling-off period of 30 days without having to state reasons. The company may ask the consumer for the reason for the cancellation but the consumer is not obliged to state his reason(s)  .
2. The cooling-off period referred to in paragraph 1 commences on the day after the consumer, or a third party as nominated in advance by the consumer not being the carrier, has received the product, or:
3. If the consumer has ordered several products in the same order: the day on which the consumer, or a third party nominated by the consumer, has received the last product. The company may, provided it has notified the consumer about this prior to the ordering process in a clear way, refuse an order of several products with a different delivery time.
4. If the delivery of a product consists of various shipments or parts: the day on which the consumer, or a third-party nominated by him, has received the last shipment or the last part.
5. For agreements relating to regular delivery of products during a particular period: the day on which the consumer, or a third-party nominated by him, has received the first product.

2. The consumer is only liable for the reduction in the value of the product which is the result of handling the product that exceeds which is allowed in paragraph 1.

2. The consumer will return the product or hand this over to (a representative of) the company as quickly as possible but at the latest within 30 days from the day following the notification referred to in paragraph 1.

Costs for returning the products are not reimbursed.
3. The company uses the same payment method for any reimbursement that the consumer has used, unless the consumer agrees to a different method. The reimbursement is at no cost to the consumer.
4. If the consumer has selected a more expensive method of delivery than the cheapest standard delivery, the company does not have to reimburse the additional costs related to the more expensive delivery.
