- Alle afbeeldingen, specificaties en gegevens in het aanbod dienen als indicatie en kunnen geen grond zijn voor schadevergoeding of ontbinding van de overeenkomst.

When concluding the agreement by electronic means, the entrepreneur shall take appropriate technical and organisational measures to secure the electronic transfer of data and shall ensure a secure web environment. If electronic payment is possible, the entrepreneur will take appropriate security measures for this.
Within the legal frameworks, the trader can check whether the consumer can fulfil his payment obligations and examine relevant facts and factors that are important for a responsible conclusion of the distance contract. If, on the basis of this investigation, the entrepreneur has well-founded reasons not to enter into the agreement, he has the right to refuse an order or request, stating reasons, or to attach special conditions to the execution.

- When purchasing products, consumers have the option to dissolve the contract within 14 days without giving reasons. The cooling-off period starts on the day after receipt of the product by the consumer or a representative previously designated by the consumer and made known to the entrepreneur.
- During the cooling-off period, the consumer will treat the product with care and only open or use the packaging to the extent necessary to assess whether he wishes to keep the product. If the consumer exercises his right of withdrawal, he should return the product with all delivered accessories and – if reasonably possible – in the original condition and packaging to the entrepreneur, in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.
If the consumer does not exercise his right of withdrawal within the said time limits, the purchase is considered final.

If agreed, the entrepreneur also guarantees that the product is suitable for use other than normal.
- A guarantee provided by the entrepreneur, manufacturer or importer does not affect the legal rights and claims that the consumer can assert against the entrepreneur on the basis of the agreement.
- Any defective or wrongly delivered products should be reported to the entrepreneur in writing within 4 weeks of delivery. Returned products must be in their original packaging and in new condition.
- The entrepreneur’s warranty period corresponds to the manufacturer’s warranty period. However, the entrepreneur is never responsible for the ultimate suitability of the products for each individual use by the consumer, nor for any advice regarding the use or application of the products.

-
-
- a. The delivered products have been exposed to abnormal conditions or otherwise carelessly treated or have been treated contrary to the instructions of the entrepreneur and/or the packaging;

In this case, the consumer has the right to rescind the contract without charge, without any right to compensation.
