1.4 HJ de Rooy / dR Amsterdam guarantees that the delivered product matches the agreement and reflects the offer specifications.

2. Delivery
2.1 Deliveries are made as long as stocks last.
2.2 Within the remit of distance selling, HJ de Rooy / dR Amsterdam processes orders within 30 days. If this proves impossible (because the ordered item isn’t in stock or is no longer deliverable), or there are delays for a different reason, or if an order cannot be (fully) processed, then the consumer is notified within 1 month of the order being placed, giving the consumer the right to cancel their order at no cost or formal notice.
2.3 Subject to evidence in rebuttal, HJ de Rooy / dR Amsterdam’s supply obligation is seen to be met as soon as the goods delivered by it have been once-offered to the consumer. With home deliveries, shipping covers the haulier (carrying with that the refusal of acceptance), to comprehensive proof of the offer up to delivery.
2.4 All the time periods listed on the website are indicative. As such no rights may be derived from these time periods.

3. Prices
3.1 Prices will not be increased for the duration of the offer, unless legislative measures necessitate it, or the manufacturer introduces interim price mark-ups.
3.2 All prices listed on the website are subject to misprints. No liability is accepted for the consequences of misprints.
3.3 All prices listed on the website are in Euros and include 21% VAT (excepting non-EU countries).

4. Inspection period / Right of termination
4.1 Pursuant to the Distance Selling Act (article 7:5 Civil Code) upon purchase the consumer is entitled to arbitrarily return (part of) the delivered goods within a legally stipulated time period. This time period commences upon receipt of delivery. If the consumer fails to return the delivered items to HJ de Rooy / dR upon termination of this time period then the sale is a fact. The consumer is obliged to notify HJ de Rooy / dR Amsterdam within the legislative time period upon delivery, yet prior to returning any goods. The consumer must prove that the delivered goods were returned in time, e.g., by means of proof of postage. Goods must be returned in a saleable condition and in their original packaging (including accessories and corresponding documentation). If the item has been used, conveyed or damaged in any way by the consumer, the right to rescind as meant in this clause, ceases to be valid. Taking into consideration that which is stated in the previous sentence, HJ de Rooy / dR Amsterdam ensures that within 30 days of proper receipt of the returned items, the full purchase amount including postage costs, is reimbursed to the consumer. The return of delivered goods however, is fully at the consumer’s risk and expense.
4.2 The right to rescission, as outlined in the previous clause, only pertains to goods delivered and does not in any way pertain to services, such as HJ de Rooy / dR Amsterdam (mobile) network operators’ telephone subscriptions. In terms of the aforementioned services where HJ de Rooy / dR Amsterdam merely acts as an intermediary, i.e. agent, the General Terms & Conditions of those parties apply.
4.3 The right of termination does not apply to:
· services of which, with the consumer’s consent and the execution thereof, commenced prior to the seven working day period;
· goods or services of which the price is linked to fluctuations in the financial arena, upon which the supplier has no influence;
· goods made in accordance with consumer specifications, e.g. bespoke work, or goods that are highly distinctive/characteristic in nature;
· goods or services that by their very nature cannot be returned, e.g. for hygienic reasons or goods that perish or age quickly;
· audio and video recordings and computer software, the seal of which has been broken by the consumer;
· the delivery of newspapers and magazines; bets and lottery services.

Goods must be returned in a saleable condition and in their original packaging (including accessories and corresponding documentation).
