Article 5 – The contract

  1. The presentation of products on the Websites does not constitute any offer by the Company for a purchase contract.
  2. By submitting the order form provided on the Websites, the Consumer is placing a binding offer for a purchase contract with the Company. The Consumer submits an offer by entering all required information during the ordering process and posting the order form to the Company by selecting a payment method and completing the selected payment process.

  3. On receipt of the Consumer’s order (electronically), the Company will send the Consumer an email confirming receipt of the order and stating the details of the order (order confirmation). The order confirmation does not constitute a declaration of acceptance of the Consumer’s contractual offer but serves for informational purposes only.
  4. A purchase contract between the Consumer and the Company will become effective only after the Company has accepted the offer by dispatching the goods ordered. If payment in advance was chosen as payment option, the goods will be dispatched only after the full amount has been credited to the Company’s account.

  6. In the event of force majeure, each of the parties will be entitled to dissolve the contract wholly – if the force majeure is substantial enough – or partially, for the part to which the force majeure relates.

If dissolution takes place on the basis of this paragraph, neither of the parties will be bound to pay damages to the other party in respect of the dissolved part of the contract.

Article 6 – Right of withdrawal

  1. When products are purchased, the Consumer can terminate the contract, without statement of reasons, within 28 days of the purchase. This cooling-off period starts on the first day after receipt of the product by the Consumer or a representative previously designated by the Consumer and announced to the Company.

If he/she wishes to exercise his/her right of withdrawal, he/she will return the product and all materials supplied with it, if reasonably possible, in its original state and packaging to the Company, in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions of the Company.
  3. The Consumer can dissolve the distance contract in accordance with paragraph 1 of this article by reporting the withdrawal (digital or in other form) to the Company within the cooling-off period. As quickly as possible, but no later than 28 days after the day of reporting as just referred to, the Consumer shall return the product, or hand it over to (a representative of) the Company. The Consumer can send the product directly to the Company without a notice of withdrawal in advance within the period as mentioned in paragraph 1. The Consumer must in this case, include a written notice of withdrawal. Products can be returned to the following address:

Any shipping costs paid by the Consumer and the purchase price paid for the product will be refunded to the Consumer if the entire order is returned.
  5. The Consumer is only liable for the product’s devaluation that is a consequence of his handling the product other than as permitted in paragraph 2.
  6. Any amounts already paid by the Consumer (in advance) will be refunded to the Consumer as soon as possible, and in any case within 28 days after dissolution of the contract. If the Consumer chose an expensive method of delivery in preference to the cheapest standard delivery, the Company does not have to refund the additional costs of the more expensive method. Except in cases in which the Company has offered to retrieve the product themselves, he can postpone refunding until he has received the product or until the Consumer proves he has returned the product, depending on which occurs earlier.
