Article 3 – Applicability

Article 4 – The Offer

1. If an offer has a limited period of validity or is subject to conditions, this is explicitly stated in the offer.
2. The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products 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 offered products and/or services. Obvious mistakes or errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.
3. Due to different colour schemes per monitor, the colours may vary slightly.

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

Article 7 – Cost in case of withdrawal
