3. If the distance contract is concluded electronically, notwithstanding the previous paragraph and before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions may be made available to the consumer electronically in such a way that it can be easily stored by the consumer on a durable data carrier.

1. The agreement is concluded, subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, at the moment of acceptance by the consumer of the offer and the fulfillment of the conditions thereby set.

3. If the agreement is concluded electronically, the entrepreneur shall take appropriate technical and organizational 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 to that end.
4. The entrepreneur may within legal frameworks - inform himself whether the consumer can meet his payment obligations, as well as all those facts and factors that are important for a responsible conclusion of the distance contract. 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, giving reasons.
5. The trader will send the consumer the following information, in writing or in such a way that the consumer can store it in an accessible manner on a durable data carrier, at the latest upon delivery of the product, service or digital content:

Article 6 - Right of withdrawal

For products:

2. The cooling-off period referred to in paragraph 1 starts the day after the consumer, or a third party designated in advance by the consumer, who is not the carrier, has received the product, or:

• If the consumer ordered multiple products in the same order: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by the consumer, received the last product. The trader may, provided he has clearly informed the consumer of this prior to the ordering process, refuse an order of multiple products with different delivery times.
• If the delivery of a product consists of several shipments or parts: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by him, received the last shipment or part;
• For contracts for regular delivery of products during a specified period: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by him, received the first product.

In the case of services and digital content not supplied on a tangible medium:

Extended cooling-off period for products, services and digital content not supplied on a tangible medium in case of failure to inform about the right of withdrawal:

Article 7 - Obligations of the consumer during the reflection period

1. During the reflection period, the consumer will handle the product and its packaging with care. He will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and operation of the product. The basic principle here is that the consumer may only handle and inspect the product as he would be permitted to do in a store.
2. The consumer is only liable for diminished value of the product resulting from a way of handling the product that goes beyond what is allowed in paragraph 1.
3. The consumer is not liable for depreciation of the product if the trader has not provided him with all legally required information on the right of withdrawal before or at the conclusion of the contract.

Article 8 - Exercise of the right of withdrawal by the consumer and costs thereof

1. If the consumer exercises his right of withdrawal, he shall notify the entrepreneur within the withdrawal period by means of the model withdrawal form or in another unambiguous manner. 

2. As soon as possible, but within 14 days from the day following the notification referred to in paragraph 1, the consumer returns the product, or hands it to (an authorized representative of) the entrepreneur. This is not required if the entrepreneur has offered to pick up the product himself. The consumer has complied with the return period in any case if he returns the product before the cooling-off period has expired.
3. The consumer returns the product with all delivered accessories, if reasonably possible in its original condition and packaging, and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.
4. The risk and burden of proof for the correct and timely exercise of the right of withdrawal lies with the consumer.
5. The consumer bears the direct costs of returning the product. If the trader has not notified the consumer that the consumer must bear these costs or if the trader indicates that the consumer will bear the costs himself, the consumer does not have to bear the costs of return shipment.
6. If the consumer revokes after having first expressly requested that the performance of the service or the supply of gas, water or electricity not made ready for sale in a limited volume or certain quantity begins during the withdrawal period, the consumer owes the entrepreneur an amount proportional to that part of the commitment that has been fulfilled by the entrepreneur at the time of revocation, compared to the full fulfillment of the commitment.
7. The consumer shall not bear any costs for the performance of services or the supply of water, gas or electricity, not made ready for sale in a limited volume or quantity, or to supply district heating, if:

• The trader has not provided the consumer with the legally required information on the right of withdrawal, cost reimbursement for withdrawal or the model withdrawal form, or;
• The consumer has not expressly requested the commencement of the performance of the service or supply of gas, water, electricity or district heating during the reflection period.

• He has not expressly agreed prior to its delivery to begin performance of the contract before the end of the cooling-off period;
• He has not acknowledged losing his right of withdrawal when giving his consent; or
• The entrepreneur failed to confirm this statement by the consumer.

9. If the consumer makes use of his right of withdrawal, all additional contracts are dissolved by operation of law.

Article 9 - Obligations of the entrepreneur in the event of withdrawal

2. The trader shall reimburse all payments made by the consumer, including any delivery costs charged by the trader for the returned product, without delay but within 14 days following the day on which the consumer notifies him of the withdrawal. Unless the entrepreneur offers to pick up the product himself, he may wait with repayment until he has received the product or until the consumer proves that he has returned the product, whichever is earlier.
3. For reimbursement, the entrepreneur shall use the same means of payment that the consumer has used, unless the consumer agrees to another method. The refund is free of charge for the consumer.
4. If the consumer has chosen a more expensive method of delivery than the cheapest standard delivery, the entrepreneur does not have to refund the additional costs for the more expensive method.

Article 10 - Exclusion of the right of withdrawal.

The trader can exclude the following products and services from the right of withdrawal, but only if the trader clearly stated this when making the offer, or at least in good time before concluding the contract:

1. Products or services whose price is subject to fluctuations in the financial market over which the entrepreneur has no influence and which may occur within the withdrawal period

10. Products that after delivery are by their nature irrevocably mixed with other products;

12. Sealed audio, video recordings and computer software, of which the seal has been broken after delivery;
13. Newspapers, magazines or periodicals, with the exception of subscriptions to these;
14. The delivery of digital content other than on a tangible medium, but only if:

1. The Entrepreneur guarantees that the products and/or services comply with the contract, the specifications stated in the offer, the reasonable requirements of soundness and/or usability and the existing statutory provisions and/or government regulations on the date the contract was concluded. If agreed, the entrepreneur also guarantees that the product is suitable for other than normal use.
2. An extra guarantee provided by the entrepreneur, his supplier, manufacturer or importer never limits the legal rights and claims that the consumer can assert against the entrepreneur on the basis of the agreement if the entrepreneur has failed to fulfill his part of the agreement.
3. Extra warranty means any commitment by the entrepreneur, his supplier, importer or producer in which he grants the consumer certain rights or claims that go beyond what he is legally obliged to do in case he has failed to fulfill his part of the agreement.

7. The Dispute Commission makes a decision under the conditions as laid down in the regulations of the Dispute Commission (www.degeschillencommissie.nl/over-ons/de-commissies/2404/thuiswinkel). The decisions of the Dispute Commission are made by way of binding advice.
8.

If, in addition to the Thuiswinkel Disputes Committee, another disputes committee recognized by or affiliated to the Stichting Geschillencommissions voor Consumentenzaken (SGC) or the Klachteninstituut Financiële Dienstverlening (Kifid) (Financial Services Complaints Institute) is competent, the Thuiswinkel Disputes Committee will have preference over the Thuiswinkel Disputes Committee for disputes primarily concerning the method of distance selling or provision of services.

1. Thuiswinkel.org guarantees the fulfilment of the binding advice given by the Thuiswinkel Disputes Committee by its members, unless the member decides to submit the binding advice to the court for review within two months after it has been sent.

Up to a maximum amount of €10.000,- per binding advice, this amount will be paid to the consumer by Thuiswinkel.org. For amounts greater than €10.000,- per binding advice, €10.000,- will be paid out. For the excess amount, Thuiswinkel.org has a best-efforts obligation to ensure that the member complies with the binding advice.
2. The application of this guarantee requires that the consumer makes a written appeal to Thuiswinkel.org and that he transfers his claim on the trader to Thuiswinkel.org. If the claim on the trader exceeds €10,000,-, the consumer will be offered to transfer his claim, insofar as it exceeds the amount of €10,000,-, to Thuiswinkel.org, after which this organization will, in its own name and costs, seek payment of that claim in court to satisfy the consumer.

Article 19 - Additional or different provisions
