When purchasing products, consumers have the right to cancel the agreement without providing a reason within 14 days. This cooling-off period starts the day after the consumer or a representative designated by the consumer receives the product.
-
During the cooling-off period, the consumer must handle the product and packaging with care. The consumer may only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to determine whether they wish to keep it. If the consumer exercises their right of withdrawal, they must return the product, including all accessories, in its original condition and packaging (if reasonably possible), following the entrepreneur’s clear and reasonable instructions.
-
If the consumer wishes to use their right of withdrawal, they must notify the entrepreneur within 14 days of receiving the product. Notification can be made using the model withdrawal form or another method, such as email. After notifying the entrepreneur, the consumer must return the product within 14 days. The consumer must provide proof of timely return, for example, with a shipping receipt.
-
If the consumer does not notify the entrepreneur within the specified period or does not return the product, the purchase is considered final.
For Service Agreements:
-
When purchasing services, consumers have the right to cancel the agreement without providing a reason within at least 14 days from the start of the agreement.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, the consumer must follow the clear and reasonable instructions provided by the entrepreneur at the time of the offer or at the latest upon service delivery.

-
If the consumer exercises the right of withdrawal, they are responsible for the return shipping costs.

If the consumer has already made a payment, the entrepreneur will refund the amount as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after withdrawal.

Refunds will be issued via the same payment method used by the consumer unless the consumer agrees to a different method.
-
If the product is damaged due to improper handling by the consumer, the consumer is liable for any depreciation in value.
-
The consumer cannot be held liable for depreciation if the entrepreneur failed to provide all legally required information about the right of withdrawal before the agreement was concluded.

In such cases, the consumer has the right to cancel the agreement free of charge. The consumer is not entitled to compensation.
-
All delivery times are indicative. The consumer cannot derive any rights from any stated periods. Exceeding a delivery period does not entitle the consumer to compensation.
-
In case of cancellation in accordance with paragraph 3 of this article, the entrepreneur will refund the amount paid by the consumer as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after cancellation.
-
If delivery of an ordered product proves impossible, the entrepreneur will make an effort to provide a replacement item. The consumer will be clearly informed of this at the latest upon delivery. In the case of replacement items, the right of withdrawal cannot be excluded. Any return costs for a replacement item will be covered by the entrepreneur.
-
The risk of damage or loss of products remains with the entrepreneur until the moment of delivery to the consumer or a pre-designated representative made known to the entrepreneur unless explicitly agreed otherwise.
Article 12 – Ongoing Agreements: Duration, Termination, and Renewal Termination

Duration

Article 13 – Payment

-
Complaints regarding the execution of the agreement must be submitted to the entrepreneur in full and clearly described within two months after the consumer has identified the defects.
-
Complaints submitted to the entrepreneur will be responded to within 14 days from the date of receipt.

-
If the complaint cannot be resolved by mutual agreement, a dispute arises that is subject to the dispute resolution procedure.
-
Consumers should first contact the entrepreneur with any complaints. If the online store is affiliated with WebwinkelKeur and if the complaint cannot be resolved by mutual agreement, the consumer should contact WebwinkelKeur (www.webwinkelkeur.nl), which will mediate free of charge. Consumers can check if the online store has an active membership via WebwinkelKeur's member list. If no resolution is reached, the consumer has the option to submit the complaint to an independent dispute committee appointed by WebwinkelKeur, whose decision is binding. Both the entrepreneur and the consumer agree to this binding ruling. Costs may apply for submitting a dispute to this committee, which must be paid by the consumer. Complaints can also be submitted via the European ODR platform (http://ec.europa.eu/odr).
-
A complaint does not suspend the entrepreneur’s obligations unless the entrepreneur indicates otherwise in writing.
-
If a complaint is found to be justified, the entrepreneur will, at their discretion, either replace or repair the delivered products free of charge.

Agreements between the entrepreneur and the consumer, to which these terms and conditions apply, are exclusively governed by Dutch law, even if the consumer resides abroad.
