The description is sufficiently detailed to allow the consumer to make a proper assessment of the offer. If the entrepreneur uses images, these are a truthful representation of the products and/or services offered. Obvious mistakes or obvious errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.
  4. All images and specifications in the offer are indicative and cannot give rise to compensation or dissolution of the agreement.

If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur shall observe appropriate security measures for that purpose.
  4. Within the limits of the law, the entrepreneur may ascertain whether the consumer can meet his payment obligations, as well as all facts and factors that are important for responsibly entering into the distance contract.

  1. Items purchased from Outlet Specialist cannot be returned under standard conditions. The consumer has the opportunity to view and/or test the items before purchase. 
  2. During the cooling-off period, the consumer will handle the product and 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 makes use of his right of withdrawal, he will return the product with all supplied accessories and - if reasonably possible - in its original condition and packaging to the entrepreneur, in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.
  3. The right of withdrawal applies if the delivered product does not correspond to the ordered product, the item is delivered broken or differs from the photo and description. In these cases, the consumer is entitled to return the item within 14 days. 
  4. If the customer has not made it known after the periods mentioned in paragraphs 2 and 3 that he wishes to make use of his right of withdrawal, or has not returned the product to the entrepreneur, the purchase is final. 
  5. If the customer chooses to withdraw from the item, Outlet Specialist reserves the right to charge a restocking fee of 20%. This amount will be deducted from the amount to be refunded to the customer. 

Upon delivery of services:

  1. To make use of his right of withdrawal, the consumer shall follow the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur with the offer and/or at the latest upon delivery.

 


Article 7 - Costs in case of withdrawal

  1. If the consumer makes use of his right of withdrawal, the costs of returning the goods shall be borne by him at most.
  2. If the consumer has paid an amount, the entrepreneur shall refund this amount as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after withdrawal. However, this is subject to the condition that the product has already been received back by the online retailer or conclusive proof of complete return can be provided. Refunds will be made via the same payment method used by the consumer unless the consumer expressly agrees to a different payment method.
  3. In the event of damage to the product due to careless handling by the consumer himself, the consumer is liable for any depreciation of the product.
  4. The consumer cannot be held liable for any diminished value of the product if the trader has not provided all legally required information about the right of withdrawal; this must be done before the purchase agreement is concluded.
  5. The Outlet Specialist reserves the right to charge a 20% restocking fee when returning items; the fee is calculated based on the amount already paid by the customer. This fee will be deducted from the amount to be refunded. 

 



Article 8 - Exclusion of the right of withdrawal

  1. The trader may exclude the consumer's right of withdrawal for products as described in paragraphs 2 and 3. The exclusion of the right of withdrawal only applies if the trader has clearly stated this in the offer, or at least in time before the conclusion of the agreement. 


Article 9 - The price

  1. During the validity period stated in the offer, the prices of the offered products and/or services will not be increased, except for price changes resulting from changes in VAT rates.
  2. In deviation from the previous paragraph, the trader may offer products or services whose prices are subject to fluctuations in the financial market and over which the trader has no influence, at variable prices. This susceptibility to fluctuations and the fact that any prices stated are target prices will be stated in the offer.
  3. Price increases within 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if they result from statutory regulations or provisions.
  4. Price increases from 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if the trader has stipulated this and:

Article 10 - Conformity and Warranty

  1. The trader guarantees that the products and/or services comply with the agreement, the specifications stated in the offer, the reasonable requirements of soundness and/or usability, and the statutory provisions and/or government regulations in force on the date the agreement is concluded. If agreed, the trader also guarantees that the product is suitable for use other than normal use.
  2. A warranty provided by the entrepreneur, manufacturer or importer does not affect the statutory rights and claims that the consumer can assert against the entrepreneur under the agreement.
  3. Any defects or incorrectly delivered products must be reported to the entrepreneur in writing within 2 months after delivery. Returned products must be sent in the original packaging and in new condition.
  4. The entrepreneur's warranty period corresponds to the manufacturer's warranty period. However, the entrepreneur is never responsible for the final suitability of the products for any individual application by the consumer, nor for any advice regarding the use or application of the products.
  5. The warranty does not apply if:
  • The consumer has repaired and/or modified the delivered products themselves or has had them repaired and/or modified by third parties;
  • The delivered products have been exposed to abnormal conditions or have otherwise been handled carelessly or contrary to the instructions of the entrepreneur and/or as stated on the packaging;

If delivery is delayed, or if an order cannot be fulfilled or can only be fulfilled partially, the consumer will receive notification of this no later than 30 days after placing the order. In that case, the consumer has the right to dissolve the agreement free of charge. The consumer is not entitled to compensation.
  4. All delivery periods are indicative. No rights can be derived by the consumer from any stated periods. Exceeding a period does not entitle the consumer to compensation.
  5. In the event of dissolution in accordance with paragraph 3 of this article, the entrepreneur shall refund the amount paid by the consumer as soon as possible, but no later than within 14 days after dissolution.
  6. If delivery of an ordered product proves impossible, the entrepreneur will make an effort to provide a replacement item.

Duration

Article 13 - Payment

  1. Unless otherwise agreed, the amounts owed by the consumer must be paid within 7 working days after the start of the cooling-off period as referred to in Article 6 paragraph 1.

  4. If the complaint cannot be resolved by mutual agreement, a dispute arises that is eligible for the dispute resolution procedure.
  5. In the event of complaints, the consumer should first contact the entrepreneur. If the webshop is affiliated with Stichting WebwinkelKeur and in the case of complaints that cannot be resolved by mutual agreement, the consumer should contact Stichting WebwinkelKeur (www.webwinkelkeur.nl), which will mediate free of charge. Check whether this webshop has an ongoing membership via https://www.webwinkelkeur.nl/ledenlijst/. If a solution is still not reached, the consumer has the option to have their complaint handled by the independent dispute committee appointed by Stichting WebwinkelKeur, whose ruling is binding and both entrepreneur and consumer agree to this binding ruling. Submitting a dispute to this dispute committee involves costs that must be paid by the consumer to the relevant committee. It is also possible to submit complaints via the European ODR platform (http://ec.europa.eu/odr).
  6. A complaint does not suspend the entrepreneur's obligations, unless the entrepreneur states otherwise in writing.
