During the cooling-off period, the consumer will handle the product and packaging with care. He will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to judge whether he wishes to keep the product. If he exercises his right of withdrawal, he will return the product with all accessories and – if reasonably possible – in the original condition and packaging to the entrepreneur, according to the entrepreneur provided reasonable and clear instructions.

When the consumer wishes to make use of his right of withdrawal, he is obliged to inform the entrepreneur of this within 14 days after receiving the product. The consumer must make this known by means of the return form. After the consumer has made known that he wishes to make use of his right of withdrawal, the customer must return the product within 14 days. The consumer has to prove that the delivered goods have been returned on time, for instance by means of proof of posting.

Artikel 10 – Compliance and Warranty

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. If agreed, the entrepreneur also guarantees that the product is suitable for other than normal use.

A guarantee provided by the entrepreneur, manufacturer or importer does not affect the legal rights and claims that the consumer, based on the agreement, can assert against the entrepreneur.

Any defects or incorrectly delivered products must be reported to the entrepreneur in writing within 4 weeks of delivery. The products must be returned in the original packaging and in new condition.

The warranty period of the entrepreneur corresponds to the manufacturer’s warranty period. The entrepreneur is never responsible for the ultimate suitability of the products for each individual application by the consumer, nor for any advice regarding the use or application of the products.

The guarantee does not apply if:

The consumer has repaired and/or modified the delivered products himself or has had them repaired and/or modified by third parties;

The delivered products have been exposed to abnormal conditions or are otherwise carelessly handled or contrary to the instructions of the entrepreneur and/or are treated on the packaging;

The defectiveness is wholly or partially the result of regulations that the government has laid down or will lay down with regard to the nature or quality of the materials used.

 

Artikel 11 – Delivery and execution

The company will take the greatest possible care when receiving and executing orders for products and when assessing applications for the provision of services.

The place of delivery is the address that the consumer has made known to the company.

Subject to what is stated in paragraph 4 of this article, the company will execute accepted orders expeditiously but not later than 30 days, unless the consumer has agreed to a longer delivery period. If the delivery has been delayed, or if an order cannot be filled or can be filled only partially, the Consumer shall be informed about this within 30 days after the order was placed. In that case, the consumer has the right to dissolve the agreement free of charge. The consumer is not entitled to compensation.

All delivery periods are indicative. The consumer cannot derive any rights from any delivery dates mentioned. Exceeding a term does not entitle the consumer to compensation.

In case of dissolution in accordance with paragraph 3 of this article, the entrepreneur will refund the amount paid by the consumer as soon as possible, but at the latest within 14 days after dissolution.

If delivery of an ordered product turns out to be impossible, the entrepreneur will make an effort to provide a replacement article. The fact that a replacement article is being delivered will be communicated in a clear and comprehensible manner, at the latest upon delivery. The right of withdrawal cannot be excluded with replacement articles. The cost of any return shipment shall be borne by the entrepreneur.

The risk of damage and/or loss of products rests with the entrepreneur up to the moment of delivery to the consumer or a previously designated and notified to the entrepreneur representative, unless otherwise expressly agreed.

• The consumer has the duty to immediately report inaccuracies in payment data provided or mentioned to the entrepreneur.
• In case of non-payment by the consumer, the entrepreneur has the right, subject to legal restrictions, to charge the consumer for any reasonable costs made known in advance.

 

Artikel 14 – Complaints procedure

The entrepreneur shall have a sufficiently publicized complaints procedure and shall handle the complaint in accordance with this complaints procedure.

Complaints about the implementation of the agreement must be fully and clearly described and submitted to the entrepreneur within 7 days after the consumer has found the defects.

Complaints submitted to the trader will be answered within a period of 14 days, calculated from the date of receipt. If a complaint requires a foreseeably 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.

If the complaint cannot be solved in mutual consultation, a dispute arises that is subject to the dispute resolution procedure.

In case of complaints, a consumer should first turn to the entrepreneur. For complaints that cannot be resolved by mutual agreement, the consumer should turn to Stichting WebwinkelKeur (www.webwinkelkeur.nl), who will mediate free of charge. If no solution can be found, the consumer has the possibility to let his complaint be handled by the independent dispute commission appointed by Stichting WebwinkelKeur, the verdict of which is binding and both entrepreneur and consumer agree to this binding verdict. To submit a dispute to this dispute committee are costs that consumers must pay to the committee. It is also possible to submit complaints via the European ODR platform (http://ec.europa.eu/odr).

A complaint does not suspend the obligations of the entrepreneur, unless the entrepreneur indicates otherwise in writing.

If a complaint is found to be justified by the entrepreneur, the entrepreneur will, at his discretion, either replace or repair the delivered products free of charge.

 

Artikel 15 – Disputes
