During the validity period stated in the offer, the prices of the products and/or services offered will not be increased, except in cases where changes in VAT rates occur.

In deviation from the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur may offer products or services whose prices are bound to fluctuations on the financial market and over which the entrepreneur has no influence, with variable prices. These bindings to fluctuations and the fact that potentially mentioned prices are reference prices will be mentioned in the offer.

Price increases within 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only allowed if they result from statutory regulations or provisions.

Price increases after 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only allowed if the entrepreneur has agreed to this and:

  1. they result from statutory regulations or provisions; or
  2. the consumer has the right to terminate the agreement as of the day on which the price increase takes effect.

The prices mentioned in the offer for products or services include VAT.

All prices are subject to type-setting errors. For the consequences of type-setting errors, no liability is accepted. In case of type-setting errors, the entrepreneur is not obliged to deliver the product at the incorrect price.

Article 10 - Conformity and Warranty

The entrepreneur warrants that the products and/or services meet the agreement, the specifications mentioned in the offer, reasonable standards of quality and/or usability, and existing statutory regulations and/or government regulations at the time of conclusion of the agreement. If agreed, the entrepreneur also warrants that the product is suitable for use other than normal use.

Any warranty provided by the entrepreneur, manufacturer or importer does not affect the statutory rights and claims that the consumer can assert against the entrepreneur.

Any defects or incorrect deliveries must be reported to the entrepreneur in writing within 2 months after delivery. The products must be returned in their original packaging and in a new state.

The warranty period of the entrepreneur corresponds to the manufacturer's warranty period. The entrepreneur is however never responsible for the ultimate suitability of products for any individual application by a consumer, nor for any advice given regarding use or application of products.

The warranty does not apply if:

  1. The consumer has repaired or modified the delivered products themselves or had them repaired or modified by third parties;
  2. The delivered products have been exposed to abnormal conditions or have been treated carelessly or contrary to instructions from the entrepreneur;
  3. The defect is due to specifications set by government authorities regarding materials used.

Article 11 - Delivery and Performance

The entrepreneur will exercise greatest care in accepting and processing orders for products and in evaluating requests for services.

Unless otherwise agreed, delivery will take place at the address indicated by the consumer.

With due observance of what is stated in paragraph 4 of this article, the entrepreneur will execute accepted orders with all due speed but no later than within 30 days, unless otherwise agreed with a longer delivery period. If delivery is delayed or if an order cannot be fully executed, notification must be made to the consumer within 30 days after placing the order. The consumer then has the right to terminate without costs. The consumer has no right to compensation.

All delivery periods are indicative. Any delay in delivery does not entitle consumers to compensation.

In case of termination as per paragraph 3 of this article, the entrepreneur will refund any amount paid by the consumer as soon as possible but no later than within 14 days after termination.

If delivery of a product ordered becomes impossible, the entrepreneur will endeavour to make a replacement product available. Notification must be made clearly and understandably at least at delivery time that a replacement product is being delivered. In cases where replacement products are delivered, there can be no exclusion of cancellation rights. The costs of any return shipment are at the expense of the entrepreneur.

Risk remains with the entrepreneur until delivery or acceptance by a designated representative known to him, unless otherwise agreed.

Article 12 - Long-term contracts: duration, termination and extension

Termination

The consumer can terminate a contract that has been entered into for an indefinite period and relates to regular delivery of products (including electricity) or services at any time with due observance of any agreed termination rules and a termination period of up to one month.

Duration

If a contract exceeds one year, it can be terminated by either party at any time with due observance of a termination period not exceeding one month unless reasonableness and fairness oppose termination before expiration of said period.

Article 13 - Payment

Unless otherwise agreed, payments owed by consumers must be made within seven working days after receipt of an invoice issued under Article 6 paragraph 1. In case of an agreement regarding service provision, this term commences after receipt by consumers of confirmation from entrepreneurs.

Consumers are required to notify entrepreneurs immediately in writing if there are errors in provided or mentioned payment details.

In case of late payment by consumers, entrepreneurs have reserved their right to charge reasonable costs.

Article 14 - Complaints Procedure

Entrepreneurs have a well-known complaints procedure in place and handle complaints accordingly.

Complaints about performance must be submitted fully and clearly described in writing within two months after discovery by consumers.

Entrepreneurs will respond within fourteen days after receipt of complaints. If complaints require foreseeable longer processing time, entrepreneurs will respond within fourteen days with an acknowledgement letter indicating when consumers can expect a more detailed response.

A complaint does not suspend obligations unless entrepreneurs notify otherwise in writing.

If complaints are found justified by entrepreneurs, they will replace or repair goods free of charge.

Article 15 - Disputes

These general terms apply exclusively to disputes between entrepreneurs and consumers arising from agreements where these general terms apply. Also in cases where consumers reside abroad.
