that the general terms and conditions can be inspected at the entrepreneur's premises and that they will be sent free of charge to the consumer as soon as possible upon request.
3. If the distance contract is concluded electronically, in derogation of the
previous paragraph and before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these
general terms and conditions may be made available to the consumer electronically
in such a way that the consumer can easily store them
on a durable data carrier. If this is not reasonably possible,
before the distance contract is concluded, it will be indicated where the general terms and conditions can be accessed electronically and that they will be sent free of charge to the consumer electronically or by other means upon request.

o the price including taxes;
o any shipping costs;
o the manner in which the agreement will be concluded and what actions
are required for this;
o whether or not the right of withdrawal applies;
o the method of payment, delivery, and execution of the agreement;
o the period for accepting the offer, or the period within which the
entrepreneur guarantees the price;
o the amount of the rate for remote communication if the costs of using the
remote communication technique are calculated on a basis other than the
regular basic rate for the communication method used;
o whether the agreement will be archived after conclusion, and if so, how
it can be consulted by the consumer;
o the way in which the consumer, before concluding the agreement, can check
the data provided by him in the context of the agreement and, if desired, correct it;
o any other languages in which, in addition to Dutch, the agreement can be concluded;

in which the consumer can consult these codes of conduct electronically; and
o the minimum duration of the distance contract in the event of a
duration transaction.

If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur will observe appropriate security measures.
4. The entrepreneur can – within legal frameworks – inform himself whether the consumer can meet his payment obligations, as well as all facts and factors that are important for a responsible conclusion of the distance agreement.

Refunds will be made via the same payment method used by the consumer unless the consumer explicitly gives permission for another payment method.
3. In the event of damage to the product due to careless handling by the consumer himself, the consumer is liable for any depreciation of the product.

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

longer delivery period. If delivery is delayed, or if an order cannot be executed or can only
be executed in part, the consumer will be notified of this no later than 30 days after
placing the order. In that case, the consumer has the right to dissolve the agreement
without costs. The consumer has no right to compensation.

terms. Exceeding a term does not entitle the consumer to compensation.

refund the amount paid by the consumer as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days
after dissolution.
6. If delivery of an ordered product proves impossible, the entrepreneur will endeavor to make
a replacement item available. No later than at delivery, it will be clearly and comprehensibly

excluded for replacement items. The costs of any return shipment are for the account of
the entrepreneur.
