If this is not reasonably possible, it will be indicated, before the distance contract is concluded, that the general conditions are available for inspection at the trader’s premises and that they will be sent free of charge on request by consumer as quickly as possible.
3. If the distance contract is concluded electronically, then by way of variation from the previous paragraph, and before the distance contract is concluded, the text of the general conditions will be made available to the consumer by electronic means in such a way that they may be stored by the consumer in a simple manner on a durable data storage device. If this is not reasonably possible, the consumer will be informed, before the distance contract is concluded, where the general conditions can be inspected by electronic means and that at the consumer's request they will be sent electronically or in another manner free of charge.
4. In the event that, alongside these general conditions, specific product or service conditions also apply, the second and third paragraphs shall apply by analogy. In the event of conflicting general conditions, the consumer may at any time invoke the applicable provision that is the most favourable.
5. If one or more provisions of these general conditions shall at any time be or become wholly or partially void, the contract and the remaining conditions shall be preserved, and the provision in question shall immediately be replaced in mutual consultation by a provision that approaches the tenor of the original as closely as possible.
7. Situations not addressed by these general conditions shall be judged in the spirit of these conditions.
8. Ambiguities in the content or interpretation of one or more provisions of these conditions must be resolved in the spirit of these conditions.

Article 4 - The offer
1. If an offer is of limited duration or if certain conditions apply, this shall be explicitly stated in the offer.
2. The offer is without obligation. The trader is entitled to amend and adapt the offer.
3. The offer shall contain a full and accurate description of the product or service offered. The description shall be sufficiently detailed to enable the consumer to assess the offer. If the trader makes use of images, these shall be a faithful representation of the products or services offered. Obvious errors or mistakes in the offer are not binding on the trader.
5. All images, specifications and data in the offer are an indication, and may not give rise to damages or the termination of the contract.
6. Images of products shall be a faithful representation of the products offered. The trader cannot guarantee that the colours reproduced correspond exactly to the product colours.
7. Every offer shall contain information such that the consumer is clear as to the rights and obligations arising from acceptance of the offer. In particular, this concerns:
+ the price including taxes;
+ any despatch costs;
+ the way in which the contract shall be concluded, and what actions are needed to do so;
+ whether or not the right of withdrawal applies;
+ the method of payment, delivery and execution of the contract;
+ the timescale for acceptance of the offer, or the period during which the trader guarantees the price;
+ the rate charged for distance communication, if the cost of using the means of distance communication is calculated on some basis other than the regular basic rate for the communication method used;
+ whether the contract will be filed after conclusion, and if so how it may be consulted by the consumer;
+ how, before the conclusion of the contract, the consumer can check and amend the information provided for the purposes of the contract;
+ any languages other than Dutch in which the contract can be concluded;
+ the codes of conduct to which the trader is subject and how the consumer can consult these codes of conduct electronically;
+ the minimum duration of the distance contract, in the case of an extended transaction.

Article 5 - The contract
1. Without prejudiced to paragraph 4, the contract comes into being at the time of the consumer’s acceptance of the offer and the fulfilment of its conditions.

If the contract is concluded by electronic means, the trader shall take appropriate organisational and technical measures to safeguard the electronic transfer of data and shall ensure a secure web environment. If the consumer may pay electronically, the trader will take suitable security measures.
4. The trader may obtain information - within the law - about the consumer’s ability to fulfil his payment obligations, and about any other facts and circumstances that are material to the conclusion of the distance contract. If on the basis of this research the trader has good reason for declining to conclude the contract, he has a justifiably motivated right to reject an order or enquiry or to lay special conditions on its execution.
5. Together with the product or service, the trader will send the consumer the following information, in writing, or in such a way that the consumer can store it accessibly on a durable data storage device:

8. information about warranties and the existing aftersales service;
9. the information mentioned in article 4(3) of these general conditions, unless the trader has already given the consumer these data before the execution of the contract;

He shall only unpack or use the goods to the extent necessary to assess whether he wishes to keep the product.
