Article 3 – Applicability

3.1 These terms and conditions apply to each offer made by the entrepreneur and to any distance agreement between entrepreneur and consumer.

3.2 Before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these terms and conditions shall be made available to the consumer. If this is not reasonably possible, the entrepreneur will indicate before the distance contract is concluded, how the terms and conditions can be identifiable to the entrepreneur and that they will be sent free of charge as soon as possible at the consumer’s request.

3.3 By way of derogation from the previous paragraph and before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general conditions may be made available to the consumer by electronic means in such a way that it can be stored by the consumer in a simple way on a durable data medium. If this is not reasonably possible, before the distance contract is concluded, it will be indicated where the general terms and conditions can be notified by electronic means and that, at the consumer’s request, they will be transmitted free of charge or otherwise free of charge.

3.4 In the event that specific product conditions apply in addition to these general conditions, the second and third paragraphs shall apply mutandis and, in the event of conflicting conditions, the consumer may always rely on the applicable provision which is most favourable to him.

3.5 If one or more provisions in these terms and conditions are at any time wholly or partially annulled or destroyed, the contract shall remain at a distance and those conditions will remain in place for the rest and the provision in question will be replaced without delay by mutual agreement by a provision that approaches the scope of the original as far as possible.

3.6 Situations relating to the distance agreement which are not governed by these terms and conditions should be assessed ‘in the spirit’ of these terms and conditions. Ambiguities about the explanation or content of one or more terms of these terms and conditions should be interpreted ‘in the spirit’ of these terms and conditions.

Article 4 – The offer

4.1 If an offer has a limited period of validity or is subject to conditions, this shall be explicitly stated in the offer.

4.2 The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to allow a proper assessment of the offer by the consumer. If the entrepreneur uses images, they are a true representation of the products offered. Obvious mistakes or obvious errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.

4.3 Each offer contains such information that it is clear to the consumer what the rights and obligations are, which are linked to the acceptance of the offer.

4.4 The offer is non-binding. The entrepreneur is entitled to change and adapt the offer.

4.5 All images, specifications details in the offer are indicative and cannot be grounds for damages or termination of the remote contract.

Article 5 – Distance agreement

5.1 The distance contract shall be concluded, subject to paragraph 5.4, at the time of the consumer’s acceptance of the offer and compliance with the conditions laid down there by it.

5.2 If the consumer has accepted the offer by electronic means, the operator shall immediately confirm the receipt of acceptance of the offer by electronic means. As long as the receipt of this acceptance has not been confirmed by the trader, the consumer may revoke the acceptance.

5.3 If the agreement is concluded electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate technical and organisational measures to secure the electronic transfer of data and ensure a secure web environment. If the consumer can pay electronically, the operator will take appropriate safety measures to this end.

5.4 The entrepreneur may, within legal frameworks, inform himself whether the consumer can meet his payment obligations, as well as all those facts and factors relevant to the responsible entering into of the distance contract. If, on the basis of this examination, the economic operator has good grounds for not entering into the distance contract with the consumer, he is entitled to refuse an order or application or to attach special conditions to the execution.

5.5 The trader shall send the following information, in writing or in such a way that it can be stored by the consumer in an accessible manner, at the latest when the product is delivered to the consumer:
– the visiting address of the establishment of the entrepreneur where the consumer can go with complaints,
– the conditions under which and the way in which the consumer may avaop the right of withdrawal, or a clear notification concerning the exclusion of the right of withdrawal,
– information on guarantees and existing post-purchase service,
– the price including all taxes on the product, to the extent applicable, the cost of delivery; and the method of payment, delivery or execution of the distance contract; And
– if the consumer has a right of withdrawal, the return form.

Article 6 – Right of withdrawal

A. if the consumer has ordered several products in the same order: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by him, received the last product. The entrepreneur may, provided that he has clearly informed the consumer prior to the ordering process, refuse an order of several products with different delivery times.

7.1 During the cooling-off period, the consumer will handle the product and packaging carefully. It shall only remove the product from the packaging in which the product was transported to the extent necessary to determine the nature, characteristics and operation of the product.

8.2 As soon as possible, but within 14 days of the day following the notification referred to in paragraph 8.1, the consumer shall return the product or hand it over to (an agent of) the entrepreneur. This is not necessary if the entrepreneur has offered to pick up the product himself. In any event, the consumer has complied with the timeback when he returns the product before the cooling-off period has expired.

8.3 The consumer shall return the product with all the accessories supplied, if reasonably possible in its original condition and packaging, and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the operator.

The products supplied have been exposed to abnormal conditions or otherwise treated carelessly or are contrary to the instructions of the trader and/or have been treated on the packaging; And
