- In case specific product or service conditions apply in addition to these general terms and conditions, the second and third paragraphs apply accordingly. If there is a conflict between these general terms and conditions and specific product or service conditions, the consumer can always invoke the provision that is most favorable to them.
ARTICLE 4 - THE OFFER
- If an offer has a limited validity period or is subject to conditions, this will be clearly stated in the offer.
- The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products and/or services offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to allow the consumer to make a proper assessment of the offer. If the entrepreneur uses images, these will be an accurate representation of the offered products and/or services. Obvious mistakes or errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.
- Each offer contains such information that it is clear to the consumer what rights and obligations are associated with accepting the offer. This concerns, in particular:
- the price, including taxes;
- any delivery costs;
- the method by which the contract will be concluded and the actions required for this;
- whether the right of withdrawal applies;
- the method of payment, delivery, and execution of the agreement;

If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur will ensure appropriate security measures are in place.
- The entrepreneur may, within legal boundaries, verify whether the consumer is able to meet their payment obligations, as well as other facts and factors that are important for entering into the distance contract responsibly.

ARTICLE 16 - INDUSTRY GUARANTEE
