4.

Article 4 – The offer
1. If an offer has a limited period of validity or is made subject to conditions, this will be explicitly stated in the offer.

Article 6 – Right of withdrawal
On delivery of products:
When purchasing products, the consumer has the option of dissolving the contract without giving any reason to dissolve for 14 days. This cooling off period commences on the day after receipt of the product by the consumer or a representative appointed by the consumer in advance and made known to the entrepreneur.
During the cooling-off period, the consumer will handle the product and packaging with care. He will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to assess whether he wishes to keep the product. If he exercises his right of withdrawal, he will return the product with all delivered accessories and – if reasonably possible – in its original condition and packaging to the entrepreneur, in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.
If the consumer wishes to exercise his right of withdrawal, he is obliged to inform the entrepreneur within 14 days after receipt of the product. The consumer should make this known by means of the model form. After the consumer has made it known that he wishes to exercise his right of withdrawal, the customer must return the product within 14 days. The consumer must prove that the delivered goods have been returned on time, for example by means of proof of dispatch.
If, after the expiry of the periods specified in paragraphs 2 and 3, the customer has not made it known that he wishes to exercise his right of withdrawal or has not returned the product to the Entrepreneur, the purchase is a fact.
In the case of the provision of services:
Upon delivery of services, the consumer has the option of dissolving the contract without giving any reason to dissolve for at least 14 days, commencing on the day of entering into the contract.
In order to exercise his right of withdrawal, the consumer will focus on the trader’s reasonable and clear instructions provided at the time of the offer and / or at the latest at the time of delivery.
Article 7 – Costs in case of withdrawal
1. If the consumer exercises his right of withdrawal, he shall bear at most the costs of returning the goods.
2. If the consumer has paid an amount, the entrepreneur will refund this amount as soon as possible, but at the latest within 14 days after withdrawal. This is subject to the condition that the product has already been received back by the merchant or conclusive proof of complete return can be provided.
Article 8 – Exclusion of right of withdrawal
The trader may exclude the consumer’s right of withdrawal for products as described in paragraphs 2 and 3. The exclusion of the right of withdrawal only applies if the trader has clearly stated this in the offer, at least in good time before concluding the contract. Products with an expiration date can be returned after receipt if the packaging of the product has not been opened.
1. Exclusion of the right of withdrawal is only possible for products:
a. that have been created by the entrepreneur in accordance with the consumer’s specifications;

c. that cannot be returned due to their nature;

2. Contrary to the previous paragraph, the trader may offer products or services whose prices are subject to fluctuations in the financial market and on which the trader has no influence, with variable prices. This obligation to fluctuate and the fact that any prices quoted are target prices will be stated in the offer.
3. Price increases within 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if they are the result of statutory regulations or provisions.
4. Price increases from 3 months after the conclusion of the contract are only permitted if the entrepreneur has stipulated this and:

b. the consumer has the right to terminate the contract as of the day on which the price increase takes effect.
5. The prices mentioned in the offer of products or services are inclusive of VAT.

1. The entrepreneur guarantees that the products and / or services meet the agreement, the specifications stated in the offer, the reasonable requirements of reliability and / or usability and the date of the conclusion of the agreement existing legal provisions and / or government regulations. If agreed, the entrepreneur also guarantees that the product is suitable for other than normal use.
2. An additional guarantee provided by the entrepreneur, his supplier, manufacturer or importer never restricts the legal rights and claims that the consumer can assert against the entrepreneur on the basis of the contract if the entrepreneur has failed to fulfil his part of the contract.
3. Extra guarantee is understood to mean any undertaking by the proprietor, his supplier, importer or producer in which he grants the consumer certain rights or claims that go beyond what the consumer is legally obliged to if he has failed to fulfil his part of the contract.

If delivery is delayed, or if an order is not or only partially carried out, the consumer will receive notification of this at the latest 30 days after the order was placed. In that case, the consumer has the right to dissolve the agreement free of charge and entitled to any compensation.
4. After dissolution in accordance with the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur will immediately refund the amount paid by the consumer.
5. The risk of damage and/or loss of products rests with the entrepreneur up to the moment of delivery to the consumer or a representative appointed in advance and made known to the entrepreneur, unless expressly agreed otherwise.
6. All delivery periods are indicative. The consumer cannot derive any rights from any of the periods mentioned. Exceeding a term does not entitle the consumer to compensation.
Article 12 – Payment
1. Unless otherwise agreed, the amounts owed by the consumer must be paid within 7 working days after the start of the reflection period as referred to in Article 6 paragraph 1. In the case of an agreement to provide a service, this period commences after the consumer has received confirmation of the agreement.
