  2. If Customer in his order, confirmation or any other communication alleging acceptance of the General Terms and Provisions includes any provisions that differ from, or are not included in the General Terms and Conditions, such provisions will only be binding upon Van Verre if and in so far as Van Verre has accepted them in writing.

  1. The Agreement will be deemed to be concluded at the moment Customer accepts the offer of Van Verre subject to the conditions laid down by Van Verre.
  2. If Customer has accepted the offer by electronic means, Van Verre will confirm receipt of acceptance of the offer by electronic means without delay. Until such receipt of acceptance is confirmed, Customer will have the possibility to terminate the Agreement.
  3. If it is found that, in accepting or otherwise entering into the Agreement, Customer has provided incorrect data, Van Verre will have the right to postpone the Agreement until the correct data is received.

 

Article 5. Registration

  1. To make optimal use of the Website, Customer can register using the registration form/the account sign-in option on the Website.
  2. During the registration process, Customer will be asked to choose a username and password with which he can log on to the Website. Customer alone is responsible for choosing a sufficiently reliable password.
  3. Customer must keep its login credentials, username and password strictly confidential.

Article 7.Right of withdrawal/return

  1. This article only applies if Customer is a natural person who is not acting in his or her professional or commercial capacity. Business Customers therefore have no right of withdrawal.

  4. Only the direct costs incurred for the return shipment are for Customer's account. This means that Customer will have to pay the costs of returning the product. Any shipping costs paid by Customer and the purchase price paid for the product will be refunded to Customer if the entire order is returned.
  5. During the withdrawal period referred to in paragraph 1, Customer will treat the product and its packaging with the utmost care. Customer may not open the packaging or use the product unless this is necessary in order to determine the nature of the products, their features and their operation.

Van Verre is allowed to deviate from the named amounts and percentages in the advantages of Customer.

 

Article 9. Warranty and conformity

  3. An extra warranty offered by Van Verre, manufacturer or importer shall never affect any statutory rights and claims which Customer has and may exercise under the Agreement.
  4. If the delivered product is not in conformity with the Agreement, Customer must inform Van Verre within a reasonable period of time after he has discovered the defect.
