Article 3 – Applicability
These general terms and conditions apply to every offer from the entrepreneur and to every distance contract and orders concluded between entrepreneur and consumer.
Before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions will be made available to the consumer. If this is not reasonably possible, it will be indicated before the distance contract is concluded that the general terms and conditions can be viewed at the entrepreneur and that they will be sent free of charge to the consumer as soon as possible at the consumer's request.
If the distance contract is concluded electronically, in deviation from the previous paragraph and before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions can be made available to the consumer electronically in such a way that the consumer can easily store them on a durable data carrier. If this is not reasonably possible, it will be indicated before the distance contract is concluded where the general terms and conditions can be consulted electronically and that they will be sent free of charge electronically or otherwise at the consumer's request.
In the event that specific product or service conditions apply in addition to these general terms and conditions, the second and third paragraphs apply accordingly and the consumer can always rely on the applicable provision that is most favourable to him in the event of conflicting general terms and conditions.
If one or more provisions in these general terms and conditions are at any time wholly or partially null and void or are annulled, the agreement and these terms and conditions will otherwise remain in force and the provision in question will be replaced without delay by mutual agreement with a provision that approximates the purport of the original as closely as possible.
Situations that are not regulated in these general terms and conditions must be assessed 'in the spirit' of these general terms and conditions.
Uncertainties about the interpretation or content of one or more provisions of our terms and conditions must be interpreted 'in the spirit' of these general terms and conditions.
Article 4 – The offer
If an offer has a limited period of validity or is made subject to conditions, this will be explicitly stated in the offer. The offer is without obligation. The entrepreneur is entitled to change and adjust the offer.
The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products and/or services offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to enable the consumer to properly assess the offer. If the entrepreneur uses images, these are a true representation of the products and/or services offered. Obvious mistakes or obvious errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.
All images, specifications and data in the offer are indicative and cannot give rise to compensation or termination of the agreement. Images of products are a true representation of the products offered. The entrepreneur cannot guarantee that the colours displayed correspond exactly to the real colours of the products.
Each offer contains such information that it is clear to the consumer what the rights and obligations are that are associated with accepting the offer. This concerns in particular:
the price including taxes; any shipping costs;
the manner in which the agreement will be concluded and which actions are required for this;
whether or not the right of withdrawal applies;
the method of payment, delivery and execution of the agreement;
the term for accepting the offer, or the term within which the entrepreneur guarantees the price;
the amount of the rate for distance communication if the costs of using the technology for distance communication are calculated on a basis other than the regular basic rate for the means of communication used;
whether the agreement is archived after it has been concluded, and if so, how it can be consulted by the consumer;
the manner in which the consumer can check the data provided by him in the context of the agreement before concluding the agreement and, if necessary, restore it;
any other languages in which, in addition to Dutch, the agreement can be concluded;
the codes of conduct to which the entrepreneur has submitted and the manner in which the consumer can consult these codes of conduct electronically; and
the minimum duration of the distance contract in the event of a long-term transaction.
Article 5 – The agreement
The agreement is concluded, subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, at the moment of acceptance by the consumer of the offer and compliance with the conditions set therein.
If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the entrepreneur will immediately confirm receipt of acceptance of the offer electronically. As long as receipt of this acceptance has not been confirmed by the entrepreneur, the consumer can terminate the agreement.
If the agreement is concluded electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure the electronic transfer of data and will ensure a secure web environment. If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur will observe appropriate security measures for this purpose.
The entrepreneur can – within legal frameworks – inform himself whether the consumer can meet his payment obligations, as well as all those facts and factors that are important for responsibly entering into the distance contract. If the entrepreneur has good reasons not to enter into the agreement based on this investigation, he is entitled to refuse an order or request with reasons or to attach special conditions to the execution. The entrepreneur will send the following information to the consumer with the product or service, in writing or in such a way that the consumer can store it in an accessible manner on a durable data carrier:
a. the visiting address of the entrepreneur's establishment where the consumer can go with complaints;
b. the conditions under which and the manner in which the consumer can exercise the right of withdrawal, or a clear statement regarding the exclusion of the right of withdrawal;
c. the information about guarantees and existing after-sales service;
d. the information included in article 4 paragraph 3 of these conditions, unless the entrepreneur has already provided this information to the consumer before the execution of the agreement;
e. the requirements for terminating the agreement if the agreement has a duration of more than one year or is of indefinite duration.
In the case of a long-term transaction, the provision in the previous paragraph only applies to the first delivery.
Each agreement is entered into under the suspensive conditions of sufficient availability poverty of the products concerned.
Article 6 – Right of withdrawal
When delivering products:
When purchasing products, the consumer has the option to dissolve the agreement without giving reasons for 14 days. This cooling-off period commences on the day after receipt of the product by the consumer or a representative designated in advance by the consumer and made known to the entrepreneur.
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 assess whether he wishes to keep the product. If he exercises his right of withdrawal, he will return the product with all accessories supplied and – if reasonably possible – in the original condition and packaging to the entrepreneur, in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.
If the consumer wishes to exercise his right of withdrawal, he is obliged to make this known to nooc coffee within 14 days of receipt of the product. The consumer must make this known by means of the model form or by means of another means of communication such as by e-mail. After the consumer has indicated that he wishes to exercise his right of withdrawal, the customer must return the product within 14 days. The consumer must prove that the delivered goods were returned on time, for example by means of proof of shipment.
If the customer has not indicated that he wishes to exercise his right of withdrawal after the expiry of the periods mentioned in paragraphs 2 and 3 or has not returned the product to the entrepreneur, the purchase is a fact.
In the case of delivery of services:
In the case of delivery of services, the consumer has the option to dissolve the agreement without giving reasons for at least 14 days, starting on the day the agreement was concluded.
In order to exercise his right of withdrawal, the consumer will follow the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur with the offer and/or at the latest upon delivery.
Article 7 – Costs in case of withdrawal
If the consumer exercises his right of withdrawal, at most the costs of return will be at his expense.
If the consumer has paid an amount, the entrepreneur will refund this amount as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after withdrawal. The condition is that the product has already been received by the online retailer or conclusive proof of complete return can be provided. Refund will be made via the same payment method used by the consumer, unless the consumer expressly gives permission for a different payment method.
In the event of damage to the product due to careless handling by the consumer himself, the consumer is liable for any reduction in value of the product.
The consumer cannot be held liable for reduction in value of the product if the entrepreneur has not provided all legally required information about the right of withdrawal; this must be done before concluding the purchase agreement.
Article 8 – Exclusion of the right of withdrawal
The entrepreneur can exclude the consumer's right of withdrawal for products as described in paragraphs 2 and 3. The exclusion of the right of withdrawal only applies if the entrepreneur has clearly stated this in the offer, at least in good time before the conclusion of the agreement.
Exclusion of the right of withdrawal is only possible for products:
a. that have been created by the entrepreneur according to the consumer's specifications;
b. that are clearly personal in nature;
c. that cannot be returned due to their nature;
d. that can spoil or age quickly;
e. whose price is subject to fluctuations in the financial market over which the entrepreneur has no influence;
f. for individual newspapers and magazines;
g. for audio and video recordings and computer software of which the consumer has broken the seal.
h. for hygienic products of which the consumer has broken the seal.
Exclusion of the right of withdrawal is only possible for services:
a. concerning accommodation, transport, restaurant business or leisure activities to be performed on a specific date or during a specific period;
b. the delivery of which has begun with the express consent of the consumer before the cooling-off period has expired;
c. concerning bets and lotteries.
Article 9 – The price
During the validity period stated in the offer, the prices of the products and/or services offered will not be increased, except for price changes as a result of changes in VAT rates.
Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur can 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 subjection to fluctuations and the fact that any stated prices are target prices are stated in the offer.
Price increases within 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if they are the result of statutory regulations or provisions.
Price increases from 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if the entrepreneur has stipulated this and:
a. these are the result of statutory regulations or provisions; or
b. the consumer has the authority to terminate the agreement with effect from the day on which the price increase takes effect.
The prices stated in the offer of products or services include VAT.
All prices are subject to printing and typographical errors. No liability is accepted for the consequences of printing and typographical errors. In the event of printing and typographical errors, the entrepreneur is not obliged to deliver the product at the incorrect price.
Article 10 – Conformity and Warranty
The entrepreneur guarantees that the products and/or services comply with the agreement, the specifications stated in the offer, the reasonable requirements of soundness and/or usability and the legal provisions and/or government regulations in force on the date of the conclusion of the agreement. If agreed, the entrepreneur also guarantees that the product is suitable for other than normal use.
A guarantee provided by the entrepreneur, manufacturer or importer does not affect the legal rights and claims that the consumer can assert against the entrepreneur on the basis of the agreement.
Any defects or incorrectly delivered products must be reported to the entrepreneur in writing within 2 months of delivery. The products must be returned in the original packaging and in new condition.
The entrepreneur's warranty period corresponds to the manufacturer's warranty period. However, the entrepreneur is never responsible for the ultimate suitability of the products for each individual application by the consumer, nor for any advice regarding the use or application of the products.
The guarantee does not apply if:
The consumer has repaired and/or processed the delivered products themselves or has had them repaired and/or processed by third parties;
The delivered products have been exposed to abnormal conditions or are otherwise treated carelessly or are treated contrary to the instructions of the entrepreneur and/or on the packaging;
The defectiveness is wholly or partly the result of regulations that the government has imposed or will impose regarding the nature or quality of the materials used.
Article 11 – Delivery and execution
The entrepreneur will take the greatest possible care when receiving and executing orders for products and when assessing requests for the provision of services.
The place of delivery is the address that the consumer has made known to the company.
Taking into account what is stated in paragraph 4 of this article, the company will execute accepted orders with due speed but no later than within 30 days, unless the consumer has agreed to a longer delivery period. If the delivery is delayed, or if an order cannot be executed or can only be executed in part, the consumer will receive notification of this no later than 30 days after placing the order. In that case, the consumer has the right to terminate the agreement without costs. The consumer is not entitled to compensation.
All delivery periods are indicative. The consumer cannot derive any rights from any periods mentioned. Exceeding a period does not entitle the consumer to compensation. In the event of dissolution in accordance with paragraph 3 of this article, the entrepreneur will refund the amount paid by the consumer as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after dissolution.
If delivery of an ordered product proves impossible, the entrepreneur will make every effort to provide a replacement item. At the latest upon delivery, it will be stated in a clear and comprehensible manner that a replacement item is being delivered. The right of withdrawal cannot be excluded for replacement items. The costs of any return shipment are borne by the entrepreneur.
The risk of damage and/or loss of products rests with the entrepreneur until the moment of delivery to the consumer or a previously designated representative made known to the entrepreneur, unless expressly agreed otherwise.
Article 12 – Duration transactions: duration, termination and extension

The consumer may terminate the agreements referred to in the previous paragraphs:
at any time and not be limited to termination at a specific time or during a specific period;
at least terminate in the same manner as they were entered into by him;
always terminate with the same notice period as the entrepreneur has stipulated for himself.
Extension
A contract entered into for a fixed period and intended for the regular delivery of products (including electricity) or services may not be tacitly extended or renewed for a fixed period.
Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, a contract entered into for a fixed period and intended for the regular delivery of daily newspapers, weekly newspapers and magazines may be tacitly extended for a fixed period of up to three months, if the consumer can terminate this extended contract at the end of the extension with a notice period of no more than one month.
A contract entered into for a fixed period and intended for the regular delivery of products or services may only be tacitly extended for an indefinite period if the consumer may terminate at any time with a notice period of no more than one month and a notice period of no more than three months in the event that the contract is intended for the regular, but less than once a month, delivery of daily newspapers, weekly newspapers and magazines. A contract with a limited duration for the regular delivery of daily, news and weekly newspapers and magazines for the purpose of introduction (trial or introductory subscription) is not tacitly continued and ends automatically after the trial or introductory period.
Duration
If an agreement has a duration of more than one year, the consumer may terminate the agreement at any time after one year with a notice period of no more than one month, unless reasonableness and fairness oppose termination before the end of the agreed duration.
Article 13 – Payment
Unless otherwise agreed, the amounts owed by the consumer must be paid within 7 working days after the start of the cooling-off period as referred to in Article 6 paragraph 1. In the case of an agreement to provide a service, this period commences after the consumer has received confirmation of the agreement.
The consumer has the duty to report any inaccuracies in the payment details provided or stated to the entrepreneur without delay.
In the event of non-payment by the consumer, the entrepreneur has the right, subject to statutory restrictions, to charge the reasonable costs made known to the consumer in advance.
Article 14 – Complaints procedure
The entrepreneur has a sufficiently publicised complaints procedure and handles the complaint in accordance with this complaints procedure.
Complaints about the performance of the agreement must be submitted to the entrepreneur fully and clearly described within 2 months after the consumer has discovered the defects.
Complaints submitted to the entrepreneur will be answered within a period of 14 days from the date of receipt. If a complaint requires a foreseeable longer processing time, the entrepreneur will respond within 14 days with a confirmation of receipt and an indication of when the consumer can expect a more detailed response.
If the complaint cannot be resolved by mutual agreement, a dispute arises that is subject to the dispute resolution procedure.
In the event of complaints, a consumer must first contact the entrepreneur. It is also possible to register complaints via the European ODR platform (http://ec.europa.eu/odr).
A complaint does not suspend the entrepreneur's obligations, unless the entrepreneur indicates otherwise in writing.
If a complaint is found to be justified by the entrepreneur, the entrepreneur will, at its discretion, either replace or repair the delivered products free of charge.
Article 15 - Disputes
Agreements between the entrepreneur and the consumer to which these general terms and conditions apply are exclusively governed by Dutch law. Even if the consumer resides abroad.
The Vienna Sales Convention does not apply. Article 16 – Additional or deviating provisions
Additional or deviating provisions from these general terms and conditions may not be to the detriment of the consumer and must be recorded in writing or in such a way that they can be stored by the consumer in an accessible manner on a durable data carrier.
