18.3. The consumer shall bear the direct costs of returning the item.

18.4. If the consumer exercises their right of withdrawal, any further agreements between the parties shall also be terminated.

This does not apply if the entrepreneur offers to collect the item itself.

19.4. The entrepreneur shall issue the refund to the same payment method that the consumer used in the original transaction, unless the consumer consents to another method. The refund shall be free of any fees for the consumer.

Article 20: Obligations of the consumer during the reflection period

They will only unpack or use the item to the extent necessary to assess whether they wish to keep the item. If they make use of their right of withdrawal, they will return the item together with all accessories supplied and in the original condition and packaging to the entrepreneur, according to the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.

20.2. The consumer is liable for the depreciation of the items if it has been handled to an extent beyond what is necessary to establish its nature, characteristics and functioning.

Article 21: Warranty

21.1. The entrepreneur guarantees that the delivered item will comply with the agreement. The entrepreneur also guarantees that the item will have those properties that, taking all circumstances into account, are necessary for its normal use, as well as for any special use that has been agreed with the consumer.

21.2. Unless a different term has been agreed, if a deviation from what has been agreed becomes apparent within 12 months of delivery, it is presumed that the item did not comply with the agreement upon delivery or completion. In that case, the entrepreneur will remedy the defect free of charge, unless it can demonstrate that the item did

indeed comply with the agreement at the time of the agreement. The foregoing does not affect the fact that the entrepreneur can remain liable under product liability law for any defects in the item even after the aforementioned periods.

21.3. The warranty referenced in paragraph 2 lapses if:

1. defects are the result of normal wear and tear;
2. defects are caused by an error, injudicious use or omission of the consumer or their legal successor, or by external causes;
3. defects are the result of a failure to perform maintenance or it has been performed incorrectly;
4. defects are the result of installation, assembly, modification or repair by the consumer or by third parties.

21.4. The entrepreneur is only obliged to fulfil its warranty obligations if the consumer has already fulfilled all of their obligations.

After the payment date has passed, the entrepreneur will send the consumer one payment reminder, in which the entrepreneur states that the consumer has the opportunity to pay within 14 days after receipt of the same together with the collection costs that will be passed on to the consumer if (full) payment is not made within that grace period. The collection costs must be in accordance with the “Decree on compensation for extrajudicial collection costs”.

23.2. The entrepreneur is entitled to charge interest on any outstanding balance due from the first payment deadline until the balance is paid in full. This interest is equal to the statutory interest as per Article 6:119 of the Dutch Civil Code (BW).

Article 27: Delivery and transfer of risk

27.1. Delivery takes place at the moment that the entrepreneur makes the item available to the customer at its business location and has informed the customer accordingly. From that time, the customer bears the risk associated with the storage, loading, transport and unloading of the goods.

Once the force majeure situation is over, the entrepreneur will fulfil its obligations as soon as its planning permits.

Article 32: Quantities

Deviations upwards and downwards of up to 10% of the agreed number of items are allowed. However, this only applies in those cases where goods are not delivered on a count basis, but instead on some other basis such as weight. The customer is obliged to purchase and pay (pro rata) the quantities delivered within the margins stated in the first sentence.

Article 33: Payment

33.1. Unless otherwise agreed, payment will be made within 30 days of the invoice date.

33.2. If the customer does not fulfil its payment obligation, it is obliged to comply with a request from the entrepreneur for payment in full instead of any prior arrangements for instalment payments.

33.3. The right of the customer to offset its claims against the entrepreneur or to suspend the fulfilment of its obligations is excluded, unless the entrepreneur has stopped paying its creditors or has filed for bankruptcy or statutory debt restructuring.

33.4. Whether the entrepreneur has fully performed the agreed performance, everything that the customer owes or will owe under the agreement will become immediately due and payable if:

1. a payment due date is missed;

In the event of delay in the payment of a sum of money, the customer owes interest on that sum of money to the entrepreneur from the day following the day that has been agreed as the latest date for payment, up to and including the day on which the customer has made the payment. If the parties have not agreed on a final date for payment, the interest is due from 30 days after the original due date. That interest amounts to 12% per year or the statutory interest if higher. For calculating the interest, any part of a month shall be treated as a full month. At the end of each year, any unpaid interest shall be capitalised.

33.6. The entrepreneur is authorised to offset its debts to the customer against claims of companies affiliated with the entrepreneur against the customer. In addition, the entrepreneur is authorized to offset its claims against the customer against debts to the customer of companies affiliated with the entrepreneur. Furthermore, the entrepreneur is authorised to offset its debts to the customer with claims against companies affiliated with the customer. Affiliated companies are understood to mean: all companies belonging to the same group within the meaning of Article 2:24b BW or which have a participating interest within the meaning of Article 2:24c BW.

33.7. If payment has not been made on time, the customer owes the entrepreneur all extrajudicial costs, but a minimum of €75.00.

on the excess up to €15,000.00 8%

on the excess up to €60,000.00 5%

on the excess from €60,000.00 3%

If higher than the amounts calculated according to the above table, the actually incurred extrajudicial costs are due.

33.8. If the entrepreneur is wholly or largely successful in legal proceedings, all costs incurred in connection with these proceedings will be borne by the customer.

Article 34: Collateral

34.1. Regardless of the agreed payment conditions, the customer is obliged to provide sufficient security for payment at the entrepreneur’s discretion upon first request. If the customer fails to do so within the specified period, it shall be deemed to be immediately in default. In that case, the entrepreneur has the right to dissolve the agreement and to recover damages from the customer.

34.2. As long as the delivered goods are subject to retention of title, the customer may not encumber or alienate them outside of its normal business operations. This clause is effective in accordance with property law.

34.3. Even if the buyer has fulfilled its obligations after the goods have been delivered by the entrepreneur as agreed, the retention of title with regard to these goods is revived if the buyer fails to fulfil its obligations under a subsequent agreement.

34.4. The entrepreneur has a right to pledge and a right of retention on all items that it has or will receive from the customer for whatever reason and for all claims that it has or may receive against the customer.

Article 35: Competent court

Only the Dutch civil court that has jurisdiction for the entrepreneur’s place of business shall have jurisdiction over any disputes arising from this business relationship. The entrepreneur may choose to deviate from this provision and apply the statutory rules governing jurisdiction.
