Terms and conditions
Article 1 â What we mean byâŚ
In these terms, we use the following words with these meanings:
Cooling-off period: the time you have to decide whether or not you want to cancel your order (without having to give a reason).
Consumer: thatâs you â a real person whoâs not buying something for a business or profession, but just for yourself.
Day: a calendar day (yep, including weekends and holidays).
Ongoing contract: a long-term deal where products or services are delivered over a longer period of time.
Durable medium: anything that lets you save info personally addressed to you, so you can check it later â like an email or PDF you can keep.
Right of withdrawal: your right to cancel your order during the cooling-off period.
Entrepreneur: thatâs us â the company offering you products or services online.
Distance contract: an agreement made entirely online (or by other remote means) without us being in the same place.
Remote communication tool: email, websites, chat â anything that lets us make a deal without meeting face-to-face.
Terms & Conditions: these current Terms & Conditions that apply to your order.

Article 3 â When these terms apply
These Terms & Conditions apply to every offer we make and every online deal or order you place with us.
Before you place an order, weâll make sure you can read these terms. If for some reason thatâs not possible, weâll let you know where you can find them â and weâll send them to you for free if you ask.
If you order something online, weâll also send you these terms digitally in a way that lets you save them easily (think: email or download). Again, if thatâs tricky for some reason, weâll tell you where you can read them online and send you a copy if you ask.
If there are extra product- or service-specific terms on top of these ones, those apply too. But if thereâs a conflict between the two, you can always rely on the version that works out best for you.
If a part of these terms turns out to be invalid or legally void, the rest still stands. Weâll replace the invalid part with something that matches the original intent as closely as possible.
If thereâs something not covered by these terms, or something is unclear, weâll handle it in the spirit of fairness and how these terms are meant to be understood.
Article 4 â The Offer
If weâre running a limited-time deal or there are conditions attached, weâll make that super clear upfront.
All our offers are non-binding â meaning we can update or change them anytime.
We always try to describe our products and services as accurately and completely as possible, so you know exactly what youâre getting. If we use photos, they represent the real product. Honest mistake in a price or product description? That doesnât bind us.
Images and specs in an offer are just for reference â they canât be used as grounds to cancel your order or claim damages. We do our best, but we canât promise that screen colors always match real-life colors perfectly.
Each offer will clearly explain what youâre saying âyesâ to, like:
The price (but keep in mind: import duties or VAT might still apply, depending on where you live. Your local courier or post service usually handles those and may charge extra fees.)
Shipping costs, if any
How the order process works
Whether or not you can cancel (your right of withdrawal)
How payment, delivery and order fulfillment works
How long the offer is valid or the price guaranteed
If communication costs (e.g. phone calls) are higher than normal rates
Whether your order details are stored, and how you can access them later
How to check or fix any info you entered before placing the order
What languages we support for the agreement (besides Dutch)
Any codes of conduct we follow, and how you can view them online
If itâs a subscription: what the minimum term is
Optional extras might include available sizes, colors, or material details.
Article 5 â The Deal (a.k.a. The Agreement)
The agreement between you and us kicks in the moment you say âyesâ to our offer and meet any conditions weâve mentioned â unless we say otherwise in section 4.
If you accept our offer online, weâll send you a quick confirmation via email. Didnât get a confirmation? Then you can still back out of the deal.
If youâre ordering online (which you probably are), weâll make sure your data is transferred securely and that youâre shopping in a safe environment. Paying online? Of course weâll keep that secure too.
We might check (within legal limits) if youâre able to pay and if there are any red flags that tell us we shouldnât go through with the deal. If we have a solid reason, we can cancel your order or add special conditions to it.
When you order something, weâll make sure you also get the following info â either on paper or in a way that you can save it for later:
-
Our business address in case you need to contact us about complaints
-
How and when you can use your right to cancel (or weâll clearly say if that doesnât apply)
-
Info about guarantees and customer service after you buy
-
The details from Article 4.3 (unless we already gave you those before the purchase)
-
How to cancel if itâs a subscription or long-term deal
If itâs a subscription deal, weâll only send this info the first time.
And just so you know: every deal is only final if the product is still in stock.
Article 6 â Your Right to Cancel (a.k.a. Cooling-Off Period)
So, you bought something and changed your mind? No worries! Youâve got 14 days to cancel your order â no need to explain why. That 14-day countdown starts the day after you (or someone you chose) receives the package.
During those 14 days, just treat the product with care. Open it up and check it out, but donât go overboard â only use it as much as you need to decide if you want to keep it. If you do want to send it back, make sure itâs in its original condition, with all parts and packaging, and follow the return instructions we gave you.
To cancel, just drop us a quick message or email within those 14 days after receiving the item â super easy. Once youâve done that, youâve got another 14 days to send the product back. Make sure you can prove itâs on the way (like with a shipping receipt or tracking info).
Didnât tell us in time or forgot to return it within those two 14-day windows? Then the deal is final and the product is officially yours.
Article 7 â Return Costs (if you cancel)
If you decide to return something using your right to cancel, the return shipping costs are on you.
Already paid? Weâll refund you as soon as possible â within 14 days max after you let us know youâre cancelling. BUT: we do need to have the product back first, or at least see clear proof that youâve sent it back.
Article 8 â When You Canât Cancel
There are some cases where you canât use the cancellation option. Weâll always let you know clearly beforehand if thatâs the case.
You canât return stuff if:
-
It was made especially for you (like a custom design);
-
Itâs clearly personal (think photo prints or name-based art);
-
It canât be sent back because of what it is (like a digital product or something that melts);
-
It goes bad quickly (like food or flowers);
-
The price depends on the financial market and we donât control that;
-
Itâs a single newspaper or magazine;
-
Itâs a sealed product (like a DVD or software) and you broke the seal;
-
Itâs a hygiene product and you broke the seal.
Same goes for some services, like:
-
Booking a hotel, transport, restaurant or event for a specific date;
-
When the service already started with your okay before the 14-day thinking period ended;
-
Lotteries or betting stuff.
Article 9 â Prices
The prices you see in the offer wonât change while the offer is valid â unless the VAT rules change.
That being said, if prices depend on things we canât control (like fluctuations in the financial market), they might vary. If thatâs the case, weâll always mention it in the offer and let you know these are guide prices.
Price increases within 3 months after you placed your order are only allowed if theyâre based on legal changes.
Price increases after those 3 months are only allowed if:
-
theyâre based on new laws or rules, or
-
youâve got the right to cancel the deal from the moment the price goes up.
Important note: The place of delivery is considered outside the EU. This means the shipping company will charge you import VAT and clearance fees. So, no VAT will be charged by us.
All prices are subject to typing or printing errors. If we accidentally listed the wrong price, weâre not responsible and not required to sell you the item at that incorrect price.
Article 10 â Product Quality & Warranty
We promise that our products and services match the description we gave, are of good quality, and work the way youâd expect based on what we said and the legal rules at the time of purchase. If we agreed something extra (like a special use), weâll stick to that too.
Any extra warranty from us, the manufacturer, or importer doesnât take away your legal rights.
If somethingâs wrong or you got the wrong product, please let us know within 14 days after deliveryâjust send us an email or message. Make sure to return the item in its original packaging and in new condition.
The warranty period we offer is the same as the one from the manufacturer. Weâre not responsible if a product doesnât work for a specific purpose you had in mind, or if you followed any advice that turned out not to work.
The warranty doesnât apply if:
You or someone else repaired or changed the product;
The product was treated roughly, used incorrectly, or not as explained by us or on the packaging;
The issue is caused by government rules about materials or product standards.
Article 11 â Delivery & Order Fulfillment
Weâll handle your order with careâfrom the moment you place it to the moment we send it out.
We ship to the address you gave us.
Unless we agreed otherwise, weâll ship accepted orders as fast as we canâusually within 30 days. If itâs delayed or only partially available, weâll let you know within that time. If that happens, you can cancel your order free of charge and get your money back.
If you cancel because of a delay or incomplete delivery, weâll refund your payment as soon as possibleâdefinitely within 14 days.
If the product you ordered is no longer available, weâll do our best to offer you a similar item instead. Youâll know this at the time of delivery. Donât worry, you can still return it if you donât want it. Weâll cover the return costs in that case.
Risk of loss or damage is on us until your order is delivered to you (or someone you told us is allowed to receive it), unless we agreed otherwise.
Article 12 â Subscriptions: duration, cancellation, and renewal
Cancelling your subscription
If youâre subscribed to a service or regular product delivery (yep, even electricity) for an open-ended period, you can cancel anytime. Just follow the cancellation rules we agreed on, with a max notice period of one month.
For fixed-term subscriptions, you can cancel at the end of the termâagain, with no more than one monthâs notice.
Hereâs whatâs important:
You can cancel at any timeâyouâre not stuck with awkward timing or specific dates.
You can cancel the same way you signed up.
You get the same notice period weâve given ourselves.
Renewals
A fixed-term subscription canât automatically be extended or renewed for another fixed term, unless weâre talking newspapers or magazines. In that case, it may be extended up to three months, but you can cancel at the end of that period with one monthâs notice.
Subscriptions for a fixed term can only switch to an ongoing one if youâre allowed to cancel whenever you want, with a one-month notice period (or three months for subscriptions that deliver less than once a month, like print media).
Trial subscriptions (like magazine try-outs) end automaticallyâthey wonât just keep going unless you say so.
Longer than one year?
If youâve signed up for something that lasts longer than a year, youâre always allowed to cancel after that first yearâagain, with a max one-month notice, unless it would be super unfair or unreasonable to cancel early based on what we agreed.
Article 13 â Payment
Unless weâve agreed otherwise, you need to pay the amount due within 7 working days after your cooling-off period starts (see Article 6.1).
If itâs a service agreement, the 7-day countdown starts after youâve received the confirmation of the agreement.
If you spot a mistake in your payment info, let us know right away.
If you donât pay on time, and there are no legal restrictions, weâre allowed to charge you reasonable extra costsâbut only if we told you about them in advance.
Article 14 â Complaints
Got a complaint? Let us know within 7 days after you notice somethingâs not right. Please describe it clearly and completely.
Weâll get back to you within 14 days after receiving your complaint. If we need more time, weâll let you know within that same period and give you an idea of when you can expect a detailed reply.
If we canât figure it out together, the issue becomes an official disputeâwhich falls under our dispute resolution rules.
Filing a complaint doesnât pause your payment or other obligations, unless we say otherwise in writing.
If we agree that your complaint is valid, weâll either replace the product or fix it for freeâyour choice (within reason, of course).
Article 15 â Disputes
All our agreements with you are governed by Dutch lawâeven if you live outside the Netherlands.
