The entrepreneur may, within the limits of the law, gather information about the consumer's ability to fulfil his payment obligations, as well as all those facts and factors that are important for a sound conclusion of the remote agreement.

2. The cooling-off period referred to in paragraph 1 commences on the day after the consumer, or a third party designated by the consumer in advance and not being the carrier, has received the product, or:
3. if the consumer has ordered multiple products in the same order: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by him, has received the last product.

2. As soon as possible, but within 14 days from the day following the notification referred to in paragraph 1, the consumer shall return the product or hand it over to (an authorised representative of) the entrepreneur. This is not necessary if the entrepreneur has offered to collect the product himself.
3. The consumer shall return the product with all delivered accessories, if reasonably possible in the original condition and packaging, and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur. The consumer shall bear the direct costs of returning the product.
Article 9 - Obligations of the trader in the event of withdrawal
1. If the entrepreneur makes the notification of withdrawal by the consumer possible electronically, he shall send an acknowledgement of receipt of this notification without delay.
2. The entrepreneur shall use the same means of payment as the consumer has used for repayment, unless the consumer agrees to a different method. The refund is free of charge for the consumer. Shipping costs shall be borne by the consumer.

1. During the validity period mentioned in the offer, the prices of the products and/or services offered will not be increased, except for price changes due to changes in VAT rates.
2. Price increases within 3 months of the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if they are the result of statutory regulations or provisions.

Article 12 - Fulfilment of agreement
The trader guarantees that the products and/or services fulfill the contract, the specifications stated in the offer, the reasonable requirements of reliability and/or serviceability and the statutory provisions and/or government regulations that existed on the date that the contract was concluded.
Article 13 - Delivery and execution
1. The entrepreneur will take the greatest possible care when receiving and executing product orders and when assessing applications for the provision of services.
2. The place of delivery is the address that the consumer has made known to the entrepreneur.
3. Subject to what is stated in Article 4 of these General Terms and Conditions, the entrepreneur shall execute accepted orders with convenient speed but at least within 30 days, unless a different delivery period has been agreed. If the delivery has been delayed, or if an order cannot be filled or can be filled only partially, the consumer will be informed about this within 30 days after he has placed the order. In that case, the consumer has the right to dissolve the agreement free of charge and the right to possible compensation.
4. After termination in accordance with the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur shall return the amount paid by the consumer without delay. The entrepreneur is not obliged to repay the additional costs, if the consumer has explicitly chosen another way than the least expensive way of standard delivery offered by the entrepreneur.
5. The risk of damage and/or loss of products rests with the entrepreneur up to the moment of delivery to the consumer or a representative previously designated and announced to the entrepreneur, unless otherwise expressly agreed.
Article 14 - Complaints procedure
1. Complaints about the implementation of the agreement must be submitted to the entrepreneur fully and clearly described within a reasonable time after the consumer has found the defects.
2. Complaints submitted to the entrepreneur shall be answered within a period of 14 days, calculated from the date of receipt. If a complaint requires a foreseeable longer processing time, the entrepreneur will respond within the period of 14 days with a message of receipt and an indication of when the consumer can expect a more detailed answer.
Article 15 - Disputes
All agreements between the entrepreneur and the consumer to which these general conditions apply, are exclusively governed by Dutch law.

Parties shall in that case agree new provisions to replace the null and void or annulled provisions, taking into account the purport of the original provisions as far as possible.
Additional provisions or provisions that deviate from these general terms and conditions may not be to the detriment of the consumer and should be recorded in writing or in such a way that the consumer can store them in an accessible manner on a durable data carrier.
