1. Unless agreed otherwise, the delivery term is at most 30 days after the agreement has been entered into.

3. Please note that the full transaction amount will be charged directly on your credit card at completion of the transaction.

Article 7: Right of withdrawal

1. The consumer can dissolve the agreement without providing reasons during a period of 14 days (the ‘period of reflection’), unless there is no right to dissolve with regard to the prc involved, as set out in paragraph three of this article.

Article 8: Exercising the right of withdrawal

   1. completing and returning the model form provided by the entrepreneur, or
   2. sending some other declaration to the entrepreneur from which it is clear that he or she wishes to exercise the right of withdrawal.
2. As soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after issuing the declaration that he or she wishes to exercise the right of withdrawal, the consumer shall return or hand over the product he or she has received to the entrepreneur or to a person authorised by the entrepreneur to take delivery of the product.

4. If the consumer exercises the right of withdrawal, all additional agreements will be dissolved by operation of law.

Article 9: The entrepreneur’s obligation to repay on withdrawal

2. If the consumer has opted for a shipping method that is more expensive than the cheapest standard delivery, the entrepreneur is not required to repay the additional cost of the more expensive method.
3. The entrepreneur should repay the amounts owing as soon as possible, but within 14 days after receiving the declaration of withdrawal at the latest. The consumer cannot demand any repayment from the entrepreneur as long as the product has not been received by the entrepreneur or the consumer has proven that the product has been returned. This does not apply if the entrepreneur offers to collect the product.
4. For repayment, the entrepreneur uses the same method of payment that the consumer has used, unless the consumer agrees to another method. The repayment is free of charge for the consumer.

Article 10: The consumer’s obligations during the period of reflection

1. During the period of reflection, the consumer shall treat the product and the packaging with due care. He or she shall only unpack or use the product as much as is needed to be able to decide whether he or she wants to keep the product. If the consumer exercises the right of withdrawal, he or she shall return the product with all the delivered accessories and, where reasonably possible, in the original condition and packaging, to the entrepreneur, in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.
2. The consumer is liable for the devaluation of the product if the product has been handled more than is needed to determine the nature, features and operation thereof.

Article 11: Force majeure

1. If fulfilment of an obligation under the agreement is temporarily impossible for one of the parties due to a cause that cannot be attributed to it, then this party has the right to suspend fulfilment of its obligations for that period.
2. If fulfilment of an obligation under the agreement is permanently impossible for one of the parties due to a cause that cannot be attributed to it, then this party is entitled to dissolve the agreement against payment to the other party of the reasonable costs incurred.

Article 12: Retention of title

1. After delivery, the entrepreneur remains the owner of the products that have been delivered as long as the consumer:
   1. has not fulfilled his or her obligations under any agreement with the entrepreneur;
   2. has not settled any claims arising from non-fulfilment of the aforementioned agreements, such as damage, penalties, interest and costs.

Article 13: Compliance of the product with the agreement and guarantee

1. The entrepreneur guarantees that a product that has been delivered complies with the agreement. The entrepreneur also guarantees that a product has properties that, considering all circumstances, are necessary for normal use, as well as for a special use, insofar as this has been agreed.
2. If a deviation from what has been agreed reveals itself within 6 months of delivery, it shall be suspected that the product did not comply with the agreement upon delivery. In that case, the entrepreneur will remedy the defect free of charge, unless the entrepreneur can demonstrate that the product did comply with the agreement at the time of the agreement. The foregoing does not affect the fact that the entrepreneur can also remain liable for any defects in the product after the aforementioned periods on the basis of the law.
3. The guarantee referred to in paragraph 2 shall lapse if:
   1. the defects are the result of normal wear and tear;
   2. the defects have been caused by an error, improper use or omission on the part of the consumer or his or her legal successor, or there is an external cause;
   3. the defects are the result of lack of maintenance or maintenance carried out incorrectly;
   4. the defects are the result of installation, assembly, modification or repairs carried out by the consumer or third parties.
4. The entrepreneur is only obliged to implement the guarantee if the consumer has fulfilled all of his or her obligations.

Article 14: Obligation to complain

1. The consumer no longer has the right to invoke a defective performance if it has not complained to the entrepreneur in writing within a reasonable period after he or she discovered or should reasonably have discovered the defect.

Article 15: Late payment

1. If the consumer fails to pay on time, he or she will be deemed to be in default without any notice of default being required.
2. After the payment date has elapsed, the entrepreneur will send the consumer one payment reminder, in which the entrepreneur states that the consumer has the opportunity to pay within 14 days of receiving the payment reminder and what amount of collection costs the consumer will owe if (full) payment is not made within that period. The amount of the collection costs must be in accordance with the ‘Decree on reimbursement for extrajudicial collection costs’.
3. The entrepreneur is entitled to charge interest on the payment that has not been made on time from the expiry of the payment term until the day on which the amount due is received. This interest is the same as the statutory interest referred to in Article 6:119 of the Dutch Civil Code.

Article 16: Applicable law and competent court

1. Dutch law applies.
2. The Vienna Sales Convention (CISG) does not apply, nor does any other international regulation that may be excluded.
3. The consumer may bring proceedings against the entrepreneur either in the courts of the Netherlands or in the courts of the place where the consumer is domiciled. The entrepreneur may bring proceedings against a consumer only in the courts of the country in which the consumer is domiciled.
