  3. If the distance contract is concluded electronically, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph and before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these terms and conditions will be made available to the consumer electronically in such a way that it can be easily stored by the consumer on a durable medium. If this is not reasonably possible, before the distance contract is concluded, it will be indicated where the general conditions can be consulted electronically and that they will be sent free of charge to the consumer, at his request, either electronically or in another way.

Article 4 – The offer

  1. If an offer has a limited period of validity or is made subject to conditions, this will be explicitly stated in the offer.
  2. The offer is without obligation. The Jiffle has the right to change and amend the offer.
  3. The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products and/or services offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to allow a proper assessment of the offer by the consumer. If The Jiffle uses images these are a true reflection of the products and/or services offered. Obvious mistakes or obvious errors in the offer do not bind The Jiffle.
  4. All images, specifications and data in the offer are indicative and may not lead to compensation or dissolution of the contract.
  5. Images of products are a true reflection of the products offered. The entrepreneur cannot guarantee that the colors shown will exactly match the real colors of the products.
  6. Each offer contains such information that it is clear to the consumer what his rights and obligations are, which are connected to the acceptance of the offer. This concerns in particular:
    • the price including taxes;
    • the possible costs of shipment;
    • the way in which the agreement will be concluded and which actions are necessary for this;
    • whether or not the right of withdrawal is applicable;
    • the method of payment, delivery and implementation of the agreement;
    • the period for accepting the offer, or the period within which The Jiffle guarantees the price;
    • the level of the rate of distance communication if the cost of using the technology for distance communication is calculated on a basis other than the regular basic rate for the means of communication used;
    • whether the agreement is archived after its conclusion and, if so, in what way it can be consulted by the consumer;
    • the manner in which the consumer, before concluding the contract, can check the data provided by him in the context of the contract and, if desired, correct them;
    • any other languages in which, besides Dutch, the contract can be concluded;
    • the codes of conduct to which The Jiffle is subject and the way the consumer can consult these codes of conduct electronically.

 

Article 5 – The agreement

  1. The contract is concluded, subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, at the time of acceptance by the consumer of the offer and the fulfilment of the conditions thereby stipulated.
  2. If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, The Jiffle will immediately confirm receipt of acceptance of the offer electronically. As long as the agreement of this acceptance is not confirmed by The Jiffle, the consumer can dissolve the agreement.
  3. If the agreement is established electronically, The Jiffle will take appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure the electronic transmission of data and ensure a secure web environment. If the consumer is able to pay electronically, The Jiffle will observe appropriate security measures.
  4. The Jiffle may – within legal frameworks – obtain information about the ability of consumers to fulfill their payment obligations, as well as all those facts and factors that are important for a sound conclusion of the distance contract. If, on the basis of this research, The Jiffle has good reason not to enter into the agreement, it is entitled to refuse an order or application or to attach special conditions to the execution.
  5. The Jiffle will send with the product or service to 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 location of The Jiffle where the consumer can go with complaints;
    • the conditions under which and the way in which the consumer may exercise the right of withdrawal, or a clear statement regarding the exclusion of the right of withdrawal;
    • the information on guarantees and existing service after purchase;
    • the data included in Article 4 paragraph 3 of these terms and conditions, unless The Jiffle has already provided these data to the consumer prior to the execution of the contract;
    • the requirements for terminating the agreement if the agreement has a duration of more than one year or is indefinite.

Article 6 – Right of withdrawal

  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 judge whether he wishes to keep the product. If he exercises his right of withdrawal, he will return the product with all accessories and – if reasonably possible – in the original condition and packaging to The Jiffle, according to the reasonable and clear instructions provided by The Jiffle.
  3. When the consumer wishes to exercise his right of withdrawal, he is obliged to notify The Jiffle within 14 days after receipt of the product. The consumer must make this known by means of the model form or by means of another written means of communication such as e-mail. After the consumer has made known to use his right of withdrawal, the customer must return the product within 14 days. The consumer must prove that the delivered goods have been returned in time, for example by means of a proof of sending.
  4. If, at the end of the periods mentioned in paragraphs 2 and 3, the customer has not indicated that he wishes to exercise his right of withdrawal or has not returned the product to The Jiffle, the purchase is a fact.

  1. In case of delivery of services, the consumer has the possibility to dissolve the contract without giving any reason for a period of at least 14 days, starting on the day of entering into the contract.
  2. To make use of his right of withdrawal, the consumer will focus on the reasonable and clear instructions provided by The Jiffle in the offer and / or at the latest at delivery.

 

Article 7 – Costs in case of withdrawal

  2. If the consumer has paid an amount, The Jiffle will refund this amount as soon as possible, but within 14 days after the withdrawal. This is subject to the condition that the product has already been received by the merchant or conclusive proof of complete return can be provided. Reimbursement will be made via the same payment method used by the consumer unless the consumer expressly agrees to a different payment method.
  3. If the product is damaged due to careless handling by the consumer, the consumer is liable for any reduction in value of the product.

Article 8 – Exclusion of the right of withdrawal
