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 contains a complete and accurate description of the products, digital content and/or services offered.

  3. If the agreement is made electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure the electronic transfer of data and will ensure a safe internet environment. If the consumer is able to pay electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate security measures.
  4. The entrepreneur can, within the legal framework, inform himself if the consumer can meet his payment obligations, as well as all those facts and factors which are important for a responsible conclusion of the distance contract. If, based on this investigation, the entrepreneur has good grounds not to enter into the agreement, he is entitled to refuse an order or request or to attach special conditions to the execution.
    At the latest upon delivery of the product, service or digital content to the consumer,
  5. the entrepreneur will send the following information, in writing or in such a way that the consumer can store it in an accessible manner on a durable data carrier:

Article 6 - Right of withdrawal

Returning
 
Right to cancel
You have the right to cancel this contract within 14 days without giving any reason. The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire,or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good. To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us: GolfDriver Europe BV, Daltonstraat 37, 3335LR, Zwijndrecht, [email protected], +31 085 - 0602099 of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). You may use the attached model cancellation form, but it is not obligatory. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of cancel before the cancellation period has expired.
Effects of cancellation If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest. You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
 
The right to cancel does not exist for the following contracts:

• Contracts for the supply of goods that are made to the consumer’s specifications or are clearly personalised.

• Contracts for the supply of goods which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly.

• Contracts for the supply of sealed goods which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons and were unsealed after delivery.

inseparably mixed with other items.

• Contracts for the supply of alcoholic beverages, the price of which has been agreed at the time of the conclusion of the sales contract, the delivery of which can only take place after 30 days and the actual value of which is dependent on fluctuations in the market which cannot be controlled by the trader.

• Contracts for the supply of sealed audio or sealed video recordings or sealed computer software which were unsealed after delivery.

• Contracts for the supply of a newspaper, periodical or magazine with the exception of subscription contracts for the supply of such publications.

  2. Contrary to the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur may offer products or services whose prices are subject to fluctuations in the financial market and on which the entrepreneur has no influence, with variable prices. This obligation to fluctuate and the fact that any prices quoted are target prices will be stated in the offer.
  3. Price increases within 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only allowed if they are the result of legal regulations or provisions.
  4. Price increases from 3 months after the conclusion of the contract are only allowed if the entrepreneur has stipulated this and:

  1. The entrepreneur guarantees that the products and/or services meet the agreement, the specifications stated in the offer, the reasonable requirements of reliability and/or usability and the legal provisions and/or government regulations existing 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.
  2. An extra guarantee provided by the entrepreneur, his supplier, manufacturer or importer never limits the legal rights and claims that the consumer can assert against the entrepreneur on the basis of the agreement if the entrepreneur has failed to fulfil his part of the agreement.
  3. By extra guarantee is meant every commitment of the entrepreneur, his supplier, importer or producer in which he grants the consumer certain rights or claims that go beyond what the consumer is legally obliged to in case he has failed in the fulfilment of his part of the contract.

 


Article 13 - Delivery and execution

  1. The entrepreneur will take the greatest possible care in receiving and executing orders for products and in assessing requests for the provision of services.

If the delivery is delayed, or if an order cannot be carried out or can only be carried out partially, the consumer shall be informed of this within 1 to 3 business days after he has placed the order. In that case, the consumer has the right to dissolve the agreement free of charge and is entitled to any compensation.
  4. After dissolution in accordance with the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur will immediately refund the amount paid by the consumer.
