Article 3 – Applicability

1. These general terms and conditions apply to every offer by Van Buuren Jeeps and to every finalised distance agreement between Van Buuren Jeeps and the Customer.
2. Before a distance agreement is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions will be made available to the Customer. If this is not reasonably possible, Van Buuren Jeeps will indicate, before the distance agreement is concluded, how the general terms and conditions for Van Buuren Jeeps can be reviewed and that they will be posted to the Customer free of charge as soon as possible at the Customer’s request.
3. If the distance agreement is concluded electronically, then, in derogation of the previous paragraph and before the distance agreement is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions may also be provided to the Customer electronically in such a way that the Customer can easily store them on a durable data carrier. If this is not reasonably possible, it will be indicated, before the distance agreement is concluded, how the general terms and conditions can be inspected electronically and that they will be sent free of charge at the Customer’s request, electronically or in another manner.
4. In the event that aside from these general terms and conditions, specific product and service conditions also apply, the second and third paragraphs apply correspondingly, and in case of conflict with the general terms and conditions, the Customer can always rely on the relevant provision that is most favourable for the Customer.

Article 4 – The offer

1. If an offer is valid for a limited period or is made subject to conditions, this shall be expressly stated in the offer.
2. The offer contains a full and accurate description of the offered products, digital content and/or services. The description is sufficiently detailed to make it possible for the Customer to make a good assessment of the offer. If Van Buuren Jeeps uses images, they are a faithful representation of the offered products, services and/or digital content. Obvious mistakes or obvious errors in the offer do not bind Van Buuren Jeeps.
3. All offers contain such information that it is clear to the Customer what rights and obligations are attached to accepting the offer.

Article 5 – The agreement

1. Subject to the provisions in paragraph 4, the agreement will be concluded at the moment the Customer accepts the offer and meets the conditions set for it.
2. If the Customer has accepted the offer via electronic means, Van Buuren Jeeps shall promptly confirm the receipt of the acceptance of the offer via electronic means. As long as the receipt of this acceptance is not confirmed by Van Buuren Jeeps, the Customer may dissolve the agreement.
3. If the agreement is concluded electronically, Van Buuren Jeeps will take appropriate technical and organisational security measures for the electronic data transfer and to ensure a safe web environment. If the Customer can pay electronically, Van Buuren Jeeps shall adopt appropriate security measures to this end.
4. Van Buuren Jeeps may, within the limits of the law, make inquiries about the consumer’s ability to fulfil the payment obligations, as well as all those facts and factors relevant to responsibly enter into the distance agreement. If on the grounds of this investigation, Van Buuren Jeeps has sound reasons not to enter into the agreement, then Van Buuren Jeeps is entitled to refuse an order or request, supported by reasons, or to attach special terms and conditions to the fulfilment of an agreement.
5. Van Buuren Jeeps will send the Customer the following information at the latest upon delivery of the product, service or digital content, in writing or in such a way that the Customer can store it in an accessible manner on a durable data carrier:
   – the visiting address of the location of Van Buuren Jeeps where the Customer can lodge complaints;
   – the conditions under which and the manner in which the Customer can exercise the right of withdrawal, or a clear notification regarding the exclusion of the right of withdrawal;
   – the information about warranties and existing service after purchase;
   – the price including all taxes of the product, service or digital content; if applicable, the costs of delivery; and the method of payment, delivery or execution of the distance agreement;
   – the requirements for termination of the agreement if the agreement has a duration of more than one year or is of indefinite duration;
   – if the Customer has a right of withdrawal, the model form for withdrawal.
6. In case of a continuing performance contract, the provision in the previous paragraph only applies to the first delivery.

Article 6 – Right of withdrawal

1. The Customer can dissolve an agreement for the purchase of a product without stating reasons during a reflection period of 14 days. Van Buuren Jeeps may ask the Customer for the reason for withdrawal but may not oblige them to state their reason(s).
2. The reflection period referred to in paragraph 1 commences on the day after the Customer, or a third party designated in advance by the Customer, other than the carrier, has received the product, or:
   1. if the Customer has ordered several products in the same order: the day on which the Customer, or a third party designated by them, has received the last product. Van Buuren Jeeps may refuse to place an order for several products with different delivery times, provided it has clearly informed the Customer of this prior to the ordering process.
   – if the delivery of a product consists of different shipments or parts: the day on which the Customer, or a third party designated by them, has received the last shipment or the last part;
   – in the case of agreements for regular delivery of products during a certain period: the day on which the Customer, or a third party designated by them, has received the first product.

Article 7 – Obligations of the Customer during the reflection period

1. During the reflection period, the Customer shall handle the product and the packaging with care. The product should only be unpacked if this is necessary to assess whether or not the Customer wishes to keep the product.
2. The Customer is expressly prohibited from returning products which, upon receipt of the returned shipment, prove to have the blue plastic packaging in the box opened. All packaging from Van Buuren Jeeps is produced under strict food safety standards. A box with packaging, of which the blue plastic outer packaging has been opened, is therefore an unsaleable item for Van Buuren Jeeps.
3. The Customer is only liable for the decrease in value of the product that is caused by the way of handling the product that went further than as allowed in paragraph 1.
4. The Customer is not liable for the decrease in value of the product if Van Buuren Jeeps has not provided the Customer with all legally required information about the right of withdrawal before or upon concluding the agreement.

Article 8 – Exercise of the right of withdrawal by the Customer and the costs thereof

1. If the Customer makes use of their right of withdrawal, the Customer shall notify Van Buuren Jeeps within the reflection period by means of the model form for withdrawal or in another unambiguous manner.
2. As soon as possible, but within 14 days of the day following the notification referred to in paragraph 1, the Customer shall return the product to Van Buuren Jeeps.
3. The Customer returns the product with all delivered accessories, in the original condition and packaging, and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by Van Buuren Jeeps.
4. The risk and the burden of proof for the correct and timely exercise of the right of withdrawal fall on the Customer.
5. The Customer shall bear the direct costs of returning the product. If Van Buuren Jeeps declares to bear the costs itself, the Customer does not have to bear the costs for return.
6. The Customer is not entitled to reimbursement of the additional costs charged for payment via certain payment methods, such as the additional costs for a Credit Card payment.
7. If the Customer makes use of the right of withdrawal, all additional agreements will be dissolved automatically.

Article 9 – Obligations of Van Buuren Jeeps upon withdrawal

1. If Van Buuren Jeeps makes the notification of withdrawal by the Customer possible electronically, it will send a confirmation of receipt immediately after receipt of this notification.
2. Van Buuren Jeeps will reimburse all payments made by the Customer, excluding any delivery costs charged by Van Buuren Jeeps for the returned product, without delay but within 14 days following the day on which the Customer notifies Van Buuren Jeeps of the withdrawal.
3. Van Buuren Jeeps uses the same means of payment for refund as used by the Customer.
4. If the Customer has opted for a more expensive method of delivery than the cheapest standard delivery, Van Buuren Jeeps does not have to reimburse the additional costs for the more expensive method.

Article 10 – Exclusion of the right of withdrawal

Van Buuren Jeeps may exclude the following products and services from the right of withdrawal, but only if Van Buuren Jeeps has stated this clearly in the offer, or at least in a timely manner before concluding the contract:

1. Products or services whose price is subject to fluctuations in the financial market beyond the entrepreneur’s control that may occur within the withdrawal period;
2. Agreements concluded during a public auction. A public auction is a sales method whereby products, digital content and/or services are offered by the trader to the consumer who is personally present or is given the opportunity to be personally present at the auction, under the direction of an auctioneer, and where the successful bidder is obliged to purchase the products, digital content and/or services;
3. Service contracts, after full performance of the service, but only if: 1. implementation has commenced with the express prior consent of the consumer; and 2. the consumer has declared that he loses his right of withdrawal as soon as the entrepreneur has fully implemented the contract;
4. Products manufactured according to the consumer’s specifications, which are not prefabricated and which are manufactured on the basis of an individual choice or decision of the consumer, or which are clearly intended for a specific person;
5. Products with limited shelf life;
6. Sealed products which, for reasons of health protection or hygiene (food safety), are not fit for return and whose seal (plastic packaging in the box) has been broken after delivery;
7. Products that, due to their nature, are irrevocably mixed with other products after delivery.

Article 11 – The price

1. During the period of validity stated in the offer, the prices of the products and/or services offered will not be increased, with the exception of price changes resulting from changes in VAT rates.
2. The prices stated in the offer for products are exclusive of VAT.
3. For each item in our webshops, the prices are displayed as a price ‘p/unit’ (per unit) and a price ‘p/piece’ (per piece). The price per unit is the guiding and applicable price and concerns the price per box (unit), which is also our minimum purchase quantity. The price per piece is only an indicative representation of the piece price and may be subject to rounding differences. No rights can therefore be derived from the display of the price ‘p/piece’.

Article 12 – Fulfilment of the agreement and extra warranty

1. Van Buuren Jeeps warrants that the products and/or services comply with the agreement, with the specifications listed in the offer, with reasonable requirements of soundness and/or usability and with the existing statutory provisions and/or government regulations on the day the agreement was concluded. If agreed, Van Buuren Jeeps also warrants that the product is suitable for use other than normal use.
2. An additional warranty provided by Van Buuren Jeeps, its supplier, manufacturer or importer never limits the legal rights and claims that the Customer can assert under the agreement with Van Buuren Jeeps if Van Buuren Jeeps has failed to fulfil its part of the agreement.
3. ‘Extra warranty’ is taken to mean each obligation of Van Buuren Jeeps, its supplier, importer or manufacturer in which it assigns certain rights or claims to the Customer that go further than legally required in case it fails in the fulfilment of its part of the agreement.

Article 13 – Delivery and fulfilment

1. Van Buuren Jeeps shall exercise the greatest possible care when receiving orders and executing product orders and when assessing requests for the provision of services.
2. The address that the Customer has provided to Van Buuren Jeeps applies as the place of delivery.
3. Van Buuren Jeeps uses the following delivery time: Ordered before 13:00 on working days, shipped the same day. This rule is valid on the standard assortment in the webshop. Of course, we do our best to always follow this rule. Unfortunately, there are factors that may delay a delivery and over which we have no influence. Should the order be delivered later, you will be informed of this as soon as possible.
4. Products listed in the category ”Outlet” may have a delivery time of 2-3 working days.
5. With due observance of the stipulations in Article 4 of these General Terms and Conditions, Van Buuren Jeeps shall fill accepted orders with due speed but at least within 30 days, unless another delivery period has been agreed on. If the delivery is delayed, or if an order cannot be filled or can only be partially filled, the Customer shall be informed about this no later than 30 days after having placed the order. In such cases, the Customer is entitled to dissolve the agreement free of charge and with the right to possible damage compensation.
6. After dissolution in accordance with the previous paragraph, Van Buuren Jeeps will refund the amount that the Customer has paid without delay.
7. The risk of loss and/or damage to products will be borne by Van Buuren Jeeps until the time of delivery to the Customer or a representative appointed in advance and made known to Van Buuren Jeeps, unless explicitly agreed otherwise.
8. Van Buuren Jeeps uses the carrier services of PostNL and DPD for sending packages. You may indicate your preference for one of these carriers during checkout. Van Buuren Jeeps reserves the right to deviate from your preferred choice without consultation. Under no circumstances will Van Buuren Jeeps pass on additional costs for this afterwards.

Article 14 – Continuing performance transactions: duration, cancellation and extension

The Customer may always cancel an agreement that has been entered into for a definite period of time and that extends to the regular delivery of products or services, at the end of the definite period with consideration of the cancellation rules agreed for this purpose and a notice period of not more than one month.
3. The Customer may always cancel the agreements mentioned in the previous paragraphs at any time and not be limited to cancellation at a certain time or in a certain period.

An agreement that has been entered into for a definite period of time and that extends to the regular delivery of products or services may only be tacitly extended for an indefinite period of time if the Customer may always cancel with a notice period of no longer than one month. The notice period is no longer than three months in the event of the agreement providing for the regular delivery, less often than once a month, of daily, news and weekly newspapers and magazines.

Duration:

1. If the duration of an agreement is more than one year, the Customer may always cancel the agreement after one year with a notice of no longer than one month, unless reasonableness and fairness resist the termination before the end of the agreed term.

Article 18 – Additional or deviating provisions

1. Additional provisions to and/or provisions deviating from these general terms and conditions may not be to the Customer’s detriment and must be put in writing or recorded in such a way that the Customer can store them in an accessible manner on a durable data carrier.
