-
The offer is without obligation. The entrepreneur is entitled to change and adapt the offer.
-
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, they are a true representation of the offered products and/or services. Obvious mistakes or errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.
-
All images, specifications, and data in the offer are indicative and cannot be a reason for compensation or termination of the agreement.
-
Images of products are a true representation of the offered products. The entrepreneur cannot guarantee that the displayed colors exactly match the real colors of the products.

Each offer contains information that makes it clear to the consumer what the rights and obligations are that are attached to the acceptance of the offer. This concerns in particular:
- The price including taxes;
- Any shipping costs;
- The manner in which the agreement will be concluded and the actions required for this;
- The application or non-application of the right of withdrawal;
- The method of payment, delivery, and execution of the agreement;

Article 5 - The agreement
-
The agreement is concluded, subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, at the moment of acceptance by the consumer of the offer and the fulfillment of the conditions set.

If the agreement is concluded electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure the electronic transfer of data and ensure a secure web environment. If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate security measures.
-
The entrepreneur can - within legal limits - inform himself 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 distance agreement. If, based on this investigation, the entrepreneur has good reasons not to enter into the agreement, he is entitled to refuse an order or request or to attach special conditions to the execution.

-
During the reflection period, the consumer will handle the product and its 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 wishes to exercise his right of withdrawal, he will return the product with all accessories and - if reasonably possible - in its original condition and packaging to the entrepreneur, following the clear and reasonable instructions provided by the entrepreneur.

Refunds will be made using the same payment method used by the consumer unless the consumer explicitly agrees to a different method.
-
If the product is damaged due to careless handling by the consumer, the consumer is liable for any depreciation of the product.
-

Article 8 - Exclusion of the right of withdrawal
-
The entrepreneur can exclude the consumer's right of withdrawal for products as described in paragraphs 2 and 3. The exclusion of the right of withdrawal applies only if the entrepreneur has clearly stated this in the offer, or at least in a timely manner before the agreement was concluded.

-
The entrepreneur guarantees that the products and/or services comply with the contract, the specifications mentioned in the offer, the reasonable requirements of reliability and/or serviceability, and the legal stipulations and/or government regulations that existed on the date the agreement was concluded.
-
A warranty offered by the entrepreneur, manufacturer, or importer does not detract from the legal rights and claims that the consumer can assert against the entrepreneur based on the contract.
-
Any defects or incorrectly delivered products must be reported in writing to the entrepreneur within a defined period after delivery. Return of the products must be done in the original packaging and in a new condition.

Submitting a dispute to this disputes committee involves costs that must be paid by the consumer to the relevant committee.
