ARTICLE 3 – Applicability
1. These general conditions are applicable to each offer from the company and to any agreement concluded remotely between the company and consumer.
2. Before the agreement is remotely concluded, the text of these general conditions is made available to the consumer. If this is not reasonably possible, before the agreement is remotely concluded the company will specify how the general conditions at the company can be perused, and it will on the request of the consumer send the conditions as soon as possible free of charge.
3. If the agreement is remotely concluded electronically, as a departure from the last paragraph and before the agreement is remotely concluded, the text of these general conditions can be electronically made available to the consumer in such a way that it can be saved by the consumer in a simple manner on a durable data carrier. If this is not reasonably possible, before the agreement is remotely concluded it is mentioned where the general conditions can be electronically perused, and on the request of the consumer they will be sent electronically or in another way free of charge.
4. If in addition to these general conditions specific product or service conditions are also applicable, the second and third paragraph is correspondingly applicable, and in the event of conflicting conditions the consumer can always call upon the applicable provision that is most favourable to him.
ARTICLE 4 – The offer
1. The agreement originates, with the reservation of that specified in paragraph 4, at the time of acceptance by the consumer of the offer and compliance with the associated conditions.
2. If the consumer has electronically accepted the offer, the company immediately electronically confirms receipt of the acceptance of the offer. For as long as receipt of this acceptance has not been confirmed by the company, the consumer can dissolve the agreement.
3. If the agreement originates electronically, the company takes appropriate technical and organisational measures to secure the electronic transfer of data and ensures a safe web environment. If the consumer can pay electronically, the company will apply appropriate security measures for this purpose.
4. The company may within the legal frameworks verify that the consumer can meet his/her payment obligations, as well as all facts and factors of importance to the proper conclusion of the remote agreement. If on the basis of this investigation the company has good grounds for not concluding the agreement, it is entitled to refuse an order or attach special conditions to an order with reasons.
5. No later than on the delivery of the product, the service or digital content the company will provide the consumer with the following information in writing or in such a way that it is available to be saved by the consumer on a durable data carrier:
a. the visiting address of the establishment of the company where the consumer can go with complaints;
b. the conditions under which and the way in which the consumer can make use of the right of withdrawal, or clearly specify the exclusion of the right of withdrawal;
c. the information about guarantees and existing service after purchase;
d. the price including all taxes on the product, service or digital content; to the extent applicable the costs of shipment; the method of payment, delivery or remote execution of the agreement;
e. the requirements for providing notice of termination of the agreement if the agreement has a duration of more than one year or is of an indefinite period;
f. if the consumer has a right of withdrawal, the model form for withdrawal.
6. In the case of an extended transaction the provision in the last paragraph is only applicable to the first delivery.
ARTICLE 6 – Right of withdrawal
For products:
1. The consumer can cancel an agreement for the purchase of a product during a cooling-off period of at least 14 days without stating reasons. The company may ask the consumer about the reason for withdrawal, but the consumer does not have to give his reason(s).
2. The cooling-off period mentioned in paragraph 1 comes into effect on the day after the consumer or a third party designated beforehand by the consumer, who is not the transporter, has received the product, or:
a. if the consumer has ordered a number of products in the same order: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated beforehand by the consumer, received the last product. The company may, providing that it has informed the consumer in a clear way prior to the ordering process, refuse an order of a number of products with a different delivery period.
b. if the delivery of a product consists of different shipments or parts: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated beforehand by the consumer, received the last product.
c. with agreements for the regular delivery of products during a certain period: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated beforehand by the consumer, received the first product.
With services and digital content not supplied on a material carrier:
3. The consumer can cancel a service agreement and an agreement for the delivery of digital content not supplied on a material carrier for at least 14 days without declaration of reasons. The company may ask the consumer about the reason for withdrawal, but the consumer does not have to give his reason(s).
4. The cooling-off period mentioned in paragraph 3 comes into effect on the day following the conclusion of the agreement.
Extended cooling-off period for products, services and digital content not supplied on a material carrier with no notification of right of withdrawal:
5. If the company has not provided the consumer with the legally required information about the right of withdrawal or the model form for withdrawal, the cooling-off period ends twelve months after the end of the original cooling-off period in accordance with the last paragraphs of this article.
6. If the company has provided the information referred to in the previous paragraph to the consumer within twelve months of the start date of the original cooling-off period, the cooling-off period ends 14 days after the day on which the consumer received the information.
ARTICLE 7 – Obligations of the consumer during the cooling-off period
1. During the cooling-off period the consumer will treat the product and the packaging with due care. He will only unpack or use the product to the extent needed to establish the nature, the properties and the working of the product. The principle here is that the consumer may only handle and inspect the product as he would in a shop.
2. The consumer is only liable for a decrease in value of the product that is the consequence of handling the product other than permitted in paragraph 1.
3. The consumer is not liable for a decrease in value of the product if the company has not provided him with all the legally required information about the right of withdrawal before or on the conclusion of the agreement.
ARTICLE8 – Exercising the right of withdrawal by the consumer and costs of this
1. If the consumer makes use of his right of withdrawal, he reports this to the company during the cooling-off period by means of the model form for withdrawal or in another clear way.
2. As soon as possible, and within 14 days of the day following the notification referred to in paragraph 1, the consumer returns the product or presents it to (an authorised representative of) the company. This is not required if the company has offered to collect the product itself. The consumer has in any case respected the return period if he returns the product before the cooling-off period has ended.
3. The consumer returns the product with all supplied accessories, if reasonably possible in its original condition and packaging, and in conformity with reasonable and clear instructions provided by the company.
4. The risk and onus of proof for the correct and on-time exercising of the right of withdrawal lies with the consumer.
5. The consumer bears the direct costs of returning the product. If the company has not mentioned that the consumer must bear these costs or if the company indicates that it will bear the costs itself, the consumer does not have to pay the costs of returning.
6. If the consumer withdraws after first having explicitly requested that performance of the service or the supply of gas, water or electricity not made ready before sale starts in a limited volume or certain quantities during the cooling-off period, the consumer becomes owing the company an amount that is proportionate to that part of the obligation complied with by the company at the time of withdrawal, compared with full compliance with the obligation.
7. The consumer bears no costs of the carrying out of services or the delivery of water, gas or electricity, that is not made ready before sale in a limited volume or quantity, or the delivery of district heating, if:
a. the company has not provided the consumer with the legally required information about the right of withdrawal, the compensation with withdrawal or the model form for withdrawal, or;
b. the consumer has not explicitly requested the start of carrying out the service or the delivery of gas, water, electricity or district heating during the cooling-off period.
8. The consumer bears no costs of the complete or partial delivery of digital content not supplied on a material carrier, if:
a. prior to the delivery of this, he has not explicitly agreed with the start of compliance with the agreement before the end of the cooling-off period;
b. he has not acknowledged losing his right of withdrawal with the granting of his permission; or
c. the company has neglected to confirm this declaration from the consumer.
9. If the consumer makes use of his right of withdrawal, all supplementary agreements are dissolved by right.
ARTICLE 9 – Obligations of the company with withdrawal
1. If the company enables the notification of withdrawal by the consumer electronically, after receipt of this message he immediately sends confirmation of receipt.
2. The company compensates all payments by the consumer, including any delivery costs charged by the company for the returned product, immediately and within 14 days following the day on which the consumer reports the withdrawal. Unless the company offers to collect the product itself, it may wait for reimbursement until it has received the product or until the consumer demonstrates that he has returned the product, whichever is earliest.
3. For reimbursement the company uses the same payment method that the consumer has used, unless the consumer consents to another method. The reimbursement is free of charge for the consumer.
4. If the consumer has chosen a more expensive method of delivery than the least expensive standard delivery, the company does not have to repay the additional costs of the more expensive method.
ARTICLE 10 – Exclusion right of withdrawal
The company can exclude the following products and services from the right of withdrawal, but only if the company clearly specifies this when making the offer, and in good time before for the conclusion of the agreement:
1. Products or services of which the price is dictated by fluctuations on the financial market on which the company has no influence and that can occur in the withdrawal period;
2. Agreements concluded at a public auction. A public auction is understood to mean a sale whereby products, digital content and/or services are offered by the company to the consumer who is personally present or has the possibility to be personally present at the auction, under the guidance of an auctioneer, and whereby the successful bidder must purchase the products, digital content and/or services;
3. Service agreements, after full provision of the service, but only if:
a. provision of the service started with the explicit prior approval of the consumer; and
b. the consumer has declared that he loses his right of withdrawal as soon as the company has fully executed the agreement;
4. Service agreements for making accommodation available, if the agreement specifies a certain date or period of execution and other than for residential purposes, goods transport, car rental services and catering;
5. Agreements concerning leisure activities, if the agreement includes a certain date or period of execution;
6. Products manufactured according to specifications of the consumer, that are not prefabricated and that are manufactured based on an individual selection or decision of the consumer, or that are clearly intended for a specific person;
7. Products that quickly spoil or have a limited shelf life;
8. Sealed products that for reasons of health protection or hygiene are unsuitable to be returned and of which the seal was broken after delivery;
9. Products that after delivery by their nature are irrevocably mixed with other products;

11. Sealed audio/video recordings and software, of which the seal is broken after delivery;
12. Newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscriptions to them;
13. The delivery of digital content other than on a material carrier, but only if:

3. Price increases within 3 months of the origination of the agreement are only permitted if they are the consequence of legal regulations or provisions.

The company is responsible for ensuring that the products and/or services suffice with regard to the agreement, the specifications mentioned in the offer, reasonable requirements of soundness and/or usability and the legal provisions and/or government regulations existing on the date of the origination of the agreement. If agreed, the company is also responsible for the product being suitable for other than normal use.
2. An extra guarantee provided by the company, its supplier, manufacturer or importer never limits the legal rights and claims the consumer can call upon on the basis of the agreement with the company if the company fails to comply with his part of the agreement.
3. An extra guarantee is understood to mean each obligation of the company, its supplier, importer or producer which gives the consumer certain rights or claims that extend further than that required by law in the case of failure to comply with his part of the agreement.
ARTICLE 13 – Delivery and execution
1. The company will take the greatest possible care with the receipt and carrying out of orders for products and the assessment of requests to provide services.
2. The place of delivery is the address that the consumer has made known to the company.
3. In accordance with that mentioned in article 4 of these general conditions, the company will provide accepted orders with due speed and no later than within 30 days, unless another delivery period is agreed.

4. After cancellation in conformity with the last paragraph, the company will immediately reimburse the amount that the consumer paid.

6. An agreement concluded for a determined period for the regular delivery of products or services, may only be tacitly extended for an indefinite period if the consumer may at any time cancel with a period of notice of at most one month.

2. If not otherwise determined in the agreement or further conditions, the consumer must pay due amounts within 14 days of the start of the cooling-off period, or in the absence of a cooling-off period within 14 days of the conclusion of the agreement. In the case of an agreement for the provision of a service, this period starts on the day after the consumer has received the confirmation of the agreement.
3.With the sale of products to consumers, in general conditions the consumer may never be bound to pay more than 50% in advance. When payment in advance is stipulated, the consumer can exercise no right whatsoever concerning the order or service(s) concerned before the stipulated payment in advance has taken place.
4. The consumer has the obligation to immediately report inaccuracies in payment details provided or specified to the company.
5. If the consumer does not meet his payment obligation(s) in good time, after he has been informed about the late payment by the company and the company has given the consumer a period of 14 days to comply with his payment obligations, after the absence of payment in the 14-day period, on top of the still due amount legal interest becomes payable and the company is entitled to charge the resulting extrajudicial collection costs. These collection costs amount to a maximum of: 15% for an outstanding amount to CAN $ 2,500; 10% for the following CAN $ 2,500 and 5% for the following CAN $ 5,000 with a minimum of CAN $ 40.
ARTICLE 16 – Complaints procedure

4. A complaint about a product, service or the service of the company can also be submitted by a complaint form on the consumer page of the Stichting Webshop Keurmerk website (http://keurmerk.info/Home/MisbruikOfKlacht).

3. A dispute is only considered by the arbitration service if the consumer has first submitted the complaint within a reasonable period to the company.
4. No later than twelve months after the dispute has originated, the dispute must be made pending in writing to the arbitration service.
5. When the consumer wishes to submit a dispute to the arbitration service the company is bound to comply with the procedure.

If the company is not informed of the choice of the consumer within a period of five weeks, the company is entitled to submit the dispute to the authorised law court.
6. The arbitration service rules under the conditions as established in the regulations of the arbitration service (http://www.degeschillencommissie.nl/over-ons/decommissies/2701/webshop). The decisions of the arbitration service are binding.
7. The arbitration service will not judge or postpone the judgement of a dispute if the company is granted suspension of payments, it is declared bankrupt or the company activities have ended, before a dispute has been judged by the commission and a final judgement has been declared.
8. If besides the webshop arbitration service another recognised arbitration service or one affiliated to the Consumer Complaints Boards (SGC) or the Financial Services Complaints Authority (Kifid) is authorised, for disputes mainly concerning method of sales or remote services, the Geschillencommissie Stichting Webshop Keurmerk is preferably authorised. For all other disputes other arbitration services recognised by the SGC or Kifid are authorised.
ARTICLE 18 – Sector guarantee
1. Stichting Webshop Keurmerk guarantees compliance with the binding advice of the Geschillencommissie Stichting Webshop Keurmerk by its members, unless the member decides to submit the binding advice within two months of its sending to the law court. This guarantee again comes into force if the binding advice after being judged by the court is upheld by the judgment as a final decision. A maximum amount of CAN $ 10,000 per binding judgement is paid out by Stichting Webshop Keurmerk to the consumer. For amounts greater than CAN $ 10,000, CAN $ 10,000 is paid out per binding judgement. Otherwise Stichting Webshop Keurmerk has an obligation to perform to the best of its ability to ensure that the member complies with the binding judgement.
2. For the application of this guarantee it is required that the consumer makes a written claim to Stichting Webshop Keurmerk and that he submits his claim against the company to Stichting Webshop Keurmerk. If the claim against the company amounts to more than CAN $ 10,000, to the extent above the amount of CAN $ 10,000 the consumer may transfer the claim to Stichting Webshop Keurmerk, after which this organisation will in own name and at its own expense require its payment by law to the consumer.
ARTICLE 19 – Supplementary or deviating provisions
Supplementary provisions or those departing from these general conditions may not be to the disadvantage of the consumer and must be established in writing or in such a way that they can be saved by the consumer in an accessible way on a durable data carrier. The supplementary provisions of Skolgrossisten Sverige AB / Mercurius Sverige are included in articles 21 up to and including 33.
ARTICLE 20 – Changes to the Webshop Keurmerk general conditions
1. Stichting Webshop Keurmerk will not change these general conditions unless in consultation with the consumer’s association.
2. Changes to these conditions are only applicable if published in an appropriate way, with the understanding that with such changes during the period of an offer the most advantageous provision with respect to the consumer will prevail.

Dutch law is applicable to these general conditions and all agreements to which these general conditions are applicable and you explicitly consent to the applicability of Dutch law. Any party to an agreement to which these general conditions are applicable also agrees that any disputes ensuing from or related to such an agreement, and that does not become resolved after bringing before an arbitration service as mentioned in article 15, will only be judged by the law courts of Amsterdam and irrevocably states not to claim any exception to this jurisdiction or make any other objection against this law court. If a (provision in such an) agreement must be enforced by law, the party judged in favour is entitled to remuneration of the case costs and reasonable costs of legal support. If any provision of these general conditions is considered null and void or non-enforceable by a law court or other authorised body, such a provision will become lapsed or limited but only to the extent required and in such a way that the other provisions of the agreement remain valid and enforceable.

A single declaration of the waiving of a right by a party with regard to rights or claims based on non-compliance or default by the other party cannot be regarded as waiving a right with regard to any previous, subsequent or following non-compliance or default. Each title, paragraph title or each header in these conditions is exclusively for clarity and is in no way whatsoever an explanation or definition of a paragraph, text or condition described therein.
