Article 3 - Applicability

1. These general terms and conditions apply to every offer made by the entrepreneur and to every distance contract concluded between entrepreneur and consumer.

2. Before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions shall be made available to the consumer.

3. If the distance contract is concluded electronically, notwithstanding the previous paragraph and before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions may be made available to the consumer electronically in such a way that it can be easily stored by the consumer on a durable data carrier. If this is not reasonably possible, before the distance contract is concluded, it will be indicated where the general terms and conditions can be inspected electronically and that they will be sent electronically or otherwise free of charge at the consumer's request.

4. In the event that specific product or service conditions apply in addition to these general conditions, the second and third paragraphs shall apply mutatis mutandis and, in the event of conflicting conditions, the consumer may always rely on the applicable provision that is most favourable to him.

Article 4 - The offer

1. If an offer has a limited period of validity or is made subject to conditions, this shall be expressly stated in the offer.

2. The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products, digital content and/or services offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to enable a proper assessment of the offer by the consumer. If the entrepreneur uses images, these are a truthful representation of the products, services and/or digital content on offer. Obvious mistakes or obvious errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.

3. Each offer contains such information that it is clear to the consumer what the rights and obligations are, which are attached to the acceptance of the offer.

Article 5 - The agreement

1. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, the agreement is concluded at the moment the consumer accepts the offer and fulfils the conditions set out therein.

2. If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the entrepreneur shall immediately confirm the receipt of the acceptance of the offer electronically. As long as the receipt of this acceptance has not been confirmed by the entrepreneur, the consumer can dissolve the agreement.

3. If the agreement is concluded electronically, the entrepreneur shall take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the electronic transfer of data and shall ensure a secure web environment. If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur will observe appropriate security measures.

4. The entrepreneur may - within legal frameworks - investigate whether the consumer can meet his payment obligations, as well as all those facts and factors that are important for a responsible conclusion of the remote agreement. If, on the basis of this investigation, the entrepreneur has good grounds not to enter into the agreement, he is entitled to refuse an order or application or to attach special conditions to the implementation, while giving reasons.

5. The entrepreneur shall, at the latest on delivery of the product, service or digital content, send the consumer the following information, in writing or in such a way that it can be stored by the consumer in an accessible way on a durable data carrier:

- the visiting address of the trader's establishment to which the consumer can address complaints;
- the conditions under which and the way in which the consumer may exercise the right of withdrawal, or a clear statement concerning the exclusion of the right of withdrawal;
- the information on guarantees and existing after-sales service;
- the price including all taxes of the product, service or digital content; where applicable, the cost of delivery; and the method of payment, delivery or performance of the distance contract;
- the requirements for terminating the agreement if the agreement has a duration of more than one year or is of indefinite duration;
- if the consumer has a right of withdrawal, the model withdrawal form.

6. In the case of a duration transaction, the provision of the previous paragraph applies only to the first delivery.

Article 6 - Right of withdrawal

By products:

1. Consumers may enter into an agreement relating to the purchase of a product during a 14-day cooling-off period.

2. The cooling-off period referred to in paragraph 1 starts the day after the consumer, or a third party designated in advance by the consumer, who is not the carrier, has received the product,

3. During the reflection period, the consumer will handle the product and its 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 exercises his right of withdrawal, he will return the product to the trader with all delivered accessories and - if reasonably possible - in the original condition and packaging, in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the trader.

Article 7 - Obligations of the consumer during the cooling-off period

1. During the reflection period, the consumer shall handle the product and its packaging with care. He shall only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the product. The basic principle here is that the consumer may only handle and inspect the product as he would be allowed to do in a shop.

2. The consumer is only liable for depreciation of the product resulting from a way of handling the product that goes beyond what is allowed in paragraph 1.

3. The consumer is not liable for depreciation of the product if the trader did not provide him with all legally required information on the right of withdrawal before or at the conclusion of the contract.

Article 8 - Exercise of the right of withdrawal by the consumer and costs thereof

1. If the consumer exercises his right of withdrawal, he shall notify the trader within the withdrawal period by sending an e-mail to info@vargenthor.nl in which he states at least:

- Name
- the reason for exercising his right of withdrawal
- the order number of the order to which the withdrawal applies
- the products and/or services for which he wishes to exercise his right of withdrawal

2. As soon as possible, but within 14 days from the day following the notification referred to in paragraph 1, the consumer returns the product, or hands it over to (an authorised representative of) the entrepreneur. This is not required if the entrepreneur has offered to collect the product himself. The consumer has observed the return period in any case if he returns the product before the cooling-off period has expired.

3. The consumer returns the product with all delivered accessories, if reasonably possible in its original condition and packaging, and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.

4. The risk and burden of proof for the correct and timely exercise of the right of withdrawal lies with the consumer.

5. The consumer shall bear the direct cost of returning the product.

6. If the consumer exercises his right of withdrawal, all additional contracts shall be dissolved by operation of law.

Article 9 - The price

1. During the validity period stated in the offer, the prices of the products and/or services offered shall not be increased, except for price changes due to changes in VAT rates.

2. Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, the Entrepreneur may offer products or services whose prices are subject to fluctuations in the financial market and over which the Entrepreneur has no influence, with variable prices. This link to fluctuations and the fact that any stated prices are target prices shall be stated with the offer.

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

4. Price increases from 3 months after the conclusion of the contract are only allowed if the entrepreneur has stipulated it and:
- they result from statutory regulations or provisions; or
- the consumer has the power to terminate the agreement from the day on which the price increase takes effect.

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

Article 10 - Compliance with the agreement and warranty

1. The entrepreneur guarantees that the products and/or services comply with the agreement, the specifications mentioned in the offer, the reasonable requirements of soundness and/or usability and the legal provisions and/or government regulations existing on the date of the conclusion of the agreement.

2. Vargen & Thor (part of Puur Von) operates a warranty period of 30 days from receipt of the item.

3. The following complaints are not covered by the warranty.
- Extraordinary wear and tear
- Damage due to negligence
- Water, fall or impact wear

Article 11 - Delivery and execution

1. The entrepreneur will take the greatest possible care when receiving and executing orders for products and when assessing requests for the provision of services.

2. The place of delivery is the address that the consumer has made known to the entrepreneur.

3. Subject to what is stated in article 4 of these general terms and conditions, the entrepreneur shall execute accepted orders with convenient speed but at the latest within 30 days, unless another delivery period has been agreed. If delivery is delayed, or if an order cannot or can only be partially carried out, the consumer will be informed about this at the latest 30 days after the order was placed. In that case, the consumer has the right to dissolve the agreement without costs and the right to possible damages.

4. After dissolution in accordance with the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur will refund the amount paid by the consumer without delay.

5. The risk of damage and/or loss of products rests with the entrepreneur until the moment of delivery to the consumer or a representative designated in advance and made known to the entrepreneur, unless explicitly agreed otherwise.

Article 12 - Duration transactions: duration, termination and renewal

Termination

1. The consumer may terminate an open-ended contract that was concluded for the regular supply of products (including electricity) or services at any time, subject to agreed termination rules and a notice period not exceeding one month.

3. The consumer may enter into the agreements mentioned in the previous paragraphs:
- terminate at any time and not be limited to termination at a particular time or period;
- at least terminate them in the same way as they were entered into by him;
- always cancel with the same notice period as the entrepreneur has stipulated for himself.

2. Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, a fixed-term contract that has been concluded for the regular delivery of daily or weekly newspapers and magazines may be tacitly renewed for a fixed term not exceeding three months, if the consumer may terminate this renewed contract towards the end of the renewal with a notice period not exceeding one month.

3. A fixed-term contract that was concluded for the regular supply of products or services may only be tacitly renewed for an indefinite period of time if the consumer may terminate the contract at any time with a period of notice that does not exceed one month. The notice period shall not exceed three months in case the contract extends to the regular delivery of daily or weekly newspapers and magazines, but less than once a month.

4. A fixed-term contract for the regular supply of daily or weekly newspapers and magazines by way of introductory talks (trial or introductory subscription) is not tacitly continued and ends automatically at the end of the trial or introductory period.

Duration:

1. If a contract has a duration of more than one year, the consumer may terminate the contract at any time after one year with a notice period not exceeding one month, unless reasonableness and fairness oppose termination before the end of the agreed duration.

Unless otherwise provided for in the agreement or additional terms and conditions, the amounts owed by the consumer should be paid within 14 days after the start of the reflection period, or, in the absence of a reflection period, within 14 days after the conclusion of the agreement.

2. When selling products to consumers, the consumer may never be obliged in general terms and conditions to make an advance payment of more than 50%.

3. The consumer has the duty to immediately report inaccuracies in payment details provided or mentioned to the entrepreneur.
