  3. If the distance contract is concluded electronically, then, contrary to the previous paragraph and before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions can be made available to the consumer electronically in such a way that it can be stored by the consumer in a simple way on a durable medium. If this is not reasonably possible, it will be indicated before the distance contract is concluded where the general terms and conditions can be consulted electronically and that they will be sent free of charge electronically or otherwise at the consumer's request.

  1. If an offer has a limited period of validity or is subject to conditions, this will be explicitly stated in the offer.
  2. The offer contains a full and accurate description of the products, digital content and/or services offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to allow a proper assessment of the offer by the consumer. If the entrepreneur uses images, these are a true representation of the products, services and/or digital content offered. Obvious mistakes or errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.
  3. Each offer contains information such that it is clear to the consumer what rights and obligations are attached to accepting the offer.

 

Article 5 - The agreement

  1. The agreement is concluded, subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, at the moment of acceptance by the consumer of the offer and compliance with the conditions attached thereto.
  2. If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the entrepreneur will immediately confirm receipt of the acceptance of the offer electronically. As long as receipt of this acceptance has not been confirmed by the entrepreneur, the consumer can dissolve the agreement.
  3. If the agreement is concluded electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure the electronic transfer of data and will ensure a safe web environment. If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur will observe appropriate security measures.
  4. The entrepreneur may, within legal frameworks, inform himself whether the consumer can meet his payment obligations, as well as of all those facts and factors that are important for a responsible conclusion of the distance contract. If the entrepreneur has good grounds for not entering into the agreement based on this investigation, he is entitled to refuse an order or request with reasons, or to attach special conditions to the execution.
  5. The entrepreneur will send the following information with the product, service, or digital content to the consumer, at the latest upon delivery, in writing or in such a way that it can be stored by the consumer in an accessible manner on a durable medium:

  8. information on warranties and existing after-sales service;
  9. the price including all taxes of the product, service, or digital content; where applicable, the costs of delivery; and the method of payment, delivery, or performance of the distance contract;

  11. if the consumer has a right of withdrawal, the model withdrawal form.
  12. In the case of a duration transaction, the provision in the previous paragraph only applies to the first delivery.

 

Article 6 - Right of withdrawal

For products:

  1. The consumer can dissolve an agreement regarding the purchase of a product during a cooling-off period of at least 14 days without giving reasons. The entrepreneur may ask the consumer for the reason for withdrawal, but the consumer is not obliged to state his reason(s).
  2. The cooling-off period mentioned in paragraph 1 starts on the day after the consumer, or a third party designated by the consumer in advance, who is not the carrier, has received the product, or:
  3. if the consumer has ordered several products in one order: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by him, received the final product. The entrepreneur may, provided he has clearly informed the consumer about this prior to the ordering process, refuse an order for several products with a different delivery time.
  4. if the delivery of a product consists of several shipments or parts: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by him, received the last shipment or the last part;
  5. in the case of agreements for the regular delivery of products during a certain period: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by him, received the first product.

 

For services and digital content not supplied on a material medium:

  1. The consumer can dissolve a service agreement and an agreement for the delivery of digital content that is not supplied on a material medium for at least 14 days without giving reasons. The entrepreneur may ask the consumer for the reason for withdrawal, but the consumer is not obliged to state his reason(s).
  2. The cooling-off period mentioned in paragraph 3 starts on the day following the conclusion of the agreement.

 

Extended cooling-off period for products, services, and digital content not supplied on a material medium in case of failure to inform about the right of withdrawal:

  1. If the entrepreneur has not provided the consumer with the legally required information about the right of withdrawal or the model withdrawal form, the cooling-off period ends twelve months after the end of the original cooling-off period determined in accordance with the previous paragraphs of this article.
  2. If the entrepreneur has provided the information referred to in the previous paragraph to the consumer within twelve months after the commencement date of the original cooling-off period, the cooling-off period expires 14 days after the day on which the consumer received that information.

 

Article 7 - Obligations of the consumer during the cooling-off period

  1. During the cooling-off period, the consumer will handle the product and the packaging with care. He will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to determine the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the product. The starting point here is that the consumer may only handle and inspect the product as he would be allowed to do in a shop.
  2. The consumer is only liable for depreciation of the product that is the result of a way of handling the product that goes beyond what is permitted in paragraph 1.
  3. The consumer is not liable for depreciation of the product if the entrepreneur has not provided him with all legally required information about the right of withdrawal before or at the conclusion of the agreement.

 

Article 8 - Exercise of the right of withdrawal by the consumer and costs thereof

  1. If the consumer exercises his right of withdrawal, he shall notify the entrepreneur of this within the cooling-off period by means of the model withdrawal form or in another unambiguous manner.
  2. As soon as possible, but within 14 days from the day following the notification referred to in paragraph 1, the consumer shall return the product, or hand it over to (a representative of) the entrepreneur. This is not necessary if the entrepreneur has offered to collect the product himself. The consumer has in any case observed the return period if he returns the product before the cooling-off period has expired.
  3. The consumer returns the product with all supplied accessories, if reasonably possible in its original condition and packaging, and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.
  4. The risk and the burden of proof for the correct and timely exercise of the right of withdrawal lie with the consumer.
  5. The consumer bears the direct costs of returning the product. If the entrepreneur has not reported that the consumer must bear these costs or if the entrepreneur indicates to bear the costs himself, the consumer does not have to bear the costs for return shipment.
  6. If the consumer withdraws after first having explicitly requested that the performance of the service or the delivery of gas, water, or electricity that are not made ready for sale in a limited volume or certain quantity starts during the cooling-off period, the consumer owes the entrepreneur an amount proportional to that part of the commitment that has been performed by the entrepreneur at the moment of withdrawal, compared to full performance of the commitment.
  7. The consumer bears no costs for the performance of services or the delivery of water, gas, or electricity, which are not made ready for sale in a limited volume or quantity, or for the delivery of district heating, if:
  8. the entrepreneur has not provided the consumer with the legally required information about the right of withdrawal, the reimbursement of costs in case of withdrawal, or the model withdrawal form, or;
  9. the consumer has not explicitly requested the commencement of the performance of the service or delivery of gas, water, electricity, or district heating during the cooling-off period.
  10. The consumer bears no costs for the full or partial delivery of digital content not supplied on a material medium, if:
  11. he has not explicitly consented to the commencement of the performance of the agreement before the end of the cooling-off period prior to the delivery thereof;
  12. he has not acknowledged losing his right of withdrawal when granting his consent; or
  13. the entrepreneur has failed to confirm this declaration from the consumer.
  14. If the consumer exercises his right of withdrawal, all supplementary agreements are dissolved by operation of law.

 

Article 9 - Obligations of the entrepreneur in case of withdrawal

  1. If the entrepreneur makes the notification of withdrawal by the consumer possible electronically, he will immediately send a receipt confirmation after receiving this notification.
  2. The entrepreneur reimburses all payments from the consumer, including any delivery costs charged by the entrepreneur for the returned product, immediately but within 14 days following the day on which the consumer reports the withdrawal to him. Unless the entrepreneur offers to collect the product himself, he may wait with repayment until he has received the product or until the consumer demonstrates that he has returned the product, whichever is earlier.
  3. The entrepreneur uses the same means of payment that the consumer used for reimbursement, unless the consumer agrees to a different method. The reimbursement is free of charge for the consumer.
  4. If the consumer has opted for a more expensive method of delivery than the cheapest standard delivery, the entrepreneur does not have to reimburse the additional costs for the more expensive method.

 

Article 10 - Exclusion of the right of withdrawal

The entrepreneur can exclude the following products and services from the right of withdrawal, but only if the entrepreneur has clearly stated this with the offer, at least in time before the conclusion of the agreement:

  1. Products or services the price of which is subject to fluctuations in the financial market on which the entrepreneur has no influence and which may occur within the withdrawal period;
  2. Agreements concluded during a public auction. A public auction is defined as a sales method whereby products, digital content and/or services are offered by the entrepreneur to the consumer who is personally present or is given the opportunity to be personally present at the auction, under the direction of an auctioneer, and whereby the successful bidder is obliged to purchase the products, digital content and/or services;
