Article 3 – Applicability
1. These general terms and conditions apply to every offer made by the entrepreneur and to every long-distance contract that has been concluded between the entrepreneur and the consumer.

3. If the long-distance contract is concluded electronically, by way of derogation from the previous paragraph and before the long-distance contract is concluded, the content of these general terms and conditions can be made available electronically to the consumer in such a way that the consumer can in a simple way store it on a durable data carrier.

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.
2. The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the offered products and/or services. The description is sufficiently detailed to allow a proper assessment of the offer by the consumer. Used images in the webshop may differ from the final products and/or services offered. Obvious mistakes or errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.
3. Each offer contains such information that it is clear to the consumer what rights and obligations are attached to the acceptance of the offer. This concerns in particular:

• the price including taxes;
• the possible costs of delivery;
• the way in which the contract will be concluded and which actions are required to do so;
• whether or not the right of withdrawal applies;
• the method of payment, delivery, and execution of the agreement;
• the term for accepting the offer or the period within which the entrepreneur guarantees the price;
• the costs for long-distance communication if the costs of using the technique for long-distance communication are calculated on a basis other than the regular basic tariff for the communication medium used;

• the way in which the consumer, prior to concluding the contract, can check the data provided by him under the contract and change it if necessary;
• any other languages in which, in addition to Dutch, the contract can be concluded;

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