Article 3 - Applicability

  1. These general terms and conditions apply to every offer made by the entrepreneur and to every distance contract concluded between the entrepreneur and the consumer.
  2. 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, the entrepreneur will indicate before the distance contract is concluded in what way the general terms and conditions can be consulted with the entrepreneur and that they will be sent free of charge to the consumer as soon as possible at the consumer's request.
  3. If the distance contract is concluded electronically, notwithstanding the previous paragraph and before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions may 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 to the consumer electronically or otherwise at the consumer's request.
  4. 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 invoke the applicable provision that is most favourable to him in the event of conflicting conditions.

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. 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, services and/or digital content offered. Obvious mistakes or obvious errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.
  3. Each offer contains such information that it is clear to the consumer what rights and obligations are associated with accepting the offer.

Article 5 - The Agreement

  1. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, the agreement is concluded at the time the consumer accepts the offer and meets the conditions set therein.
  2. 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 dissolve the agreement.
  3. 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 take appropriate security measures.
  4. The entrepreneur may, within the legal framework, inquire whether the consumer can meet his payment obligations, as well as all those facts and factors that are important for a responsible conclusion of the distance contract. If the entrepreneur, based on this investigation, has good reasons not to enter into the contract, he is entitled to refuse an order or request with reasons or to attach special conditions to the execution.
  5. The entrepreneur will send the following information to the consumer, in writing or in such a way that the consumer can store it in an accessible manner on a durable data carrier, at the latest upon delivery of the product, service or digital content:
  6. the visiting address of the entrepreneur's establishment where the consumer can go with complaints;
  7. 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;
  8. the information about guarantees and existing after-sales service;
  9. the price including all taxes of the product, service or digital content; where applicable, the costs of delivery; and the method of payment, delivery or performance of the distance contract;
  10. the requirements for terminating the agreement if the agreement has a duration of more than one year or is of indefinite duration;
  11. if the consumer has a right of withdrawal, the model withdrawal form.

Article 6 - Right of withdrawal

For products:

  1. The consumer can dissolve an agreement regarding the purchase of a product during a reflection period of up to 14 days without giving reasons. The entrepreneur may ask the consumer for the reason for withdrawal, but cannot oblige him to state his reason(s).
  2. The cooling-off period referred to in paragraph 1 commences on the day after the consumer, or a third party designated by the consumer in advance, who is not the carrier, has received the product, or:
  3. if the consumer has ordered multiple products in the same order: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by the consumer, has received the last product. The entrepreneur may refuse an order for multiple products with different delivery times, provided that he has clearly informed the consumer of this prior to the ordering process.
  4. if the delivery of a product consists of different shipments or parts: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by the consumer, has received the last shipment or the last part;
  5. in the case of agreements for the regular delivery of products during a specific period: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by the consumer, has received the first product.

For services and digital content not supplied on a tangible medium:

  1. The consumer can terminate a service agreement and an agreement for the supply of digital content that is not supplied on a tangible medium for a maximum of 14 days without giving reasons. The entrepreneur may ask the consumer for the reason for withdrawal, but may not oblige the consumer to state his reason(s).
  2. The cooling-off period referred to in paragraph 3 commences on the day following the conclusion of the agreement.

Extended reflection period for products, services and digital content not supplied on a tangible medium if not informed about the right of withdrawal:

  1. If the entrepreneur has not provided the consumer with the legally required information about the right of withdrawal or the model withdrawal form, the cooling-off period will expire twelve months after the end of the original cooling-off period determined in accordance with the previous paragraphs of this article.
  2. If the entrepreneur has provided the consumer with the information referred to in the previous paragraph within twelve months after the commencement date of the original reflection period, the reflection period will expire 14 days after the day on which the consumer received that information.

Article 7 - Obligations of the consumer during the cooling-off period

  1. 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 determine the nature, characteristics and functioning of the product. The starting point here is that the consumer may only handle and inspect the product as he would be allowed to do in a shop.
  2. The consumer is only liable for any diminished value of the product resulting from the handling of the product which goes beyond what is permitted in paragraph 1.
  3. The consumer is not liable for any diminished value of the product if the entrepreneur has not provided him with all legally required information about the right of withdrawal before or at the conclusion of the agreement.

Article 8 - Exercise of the right of withdrawal by the consumer and costs thereof

  1. If the consumer exercises his right of withdrawal, he shall notify the entrepreneur of this within the cooling-off period by means of the model withdrawal form or in another unambiguous manner.
  2. As soon as possible, but within 14 days from the day following the notification referred to in paragraph 1, the consumer shall return the product or hand it over to (an authorised representative of) the entrepreneur. This is not necessary if the entrepreneur has offered to collect the product himself. The consumer has in any case observed the return period if he returns the product before the cooling-off period has expired.
  3. The consumer shall return the product with all supplied accessories, if reasonably possible in the original condition and packaging, and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur.
  4. The risk and burden of proof for the correct and timely exercise of the right of withdrawal lies with the consumer.
  5. The consumer shall bear the direct costs of returning the product. If the entrepreneur has not reported that the consumer must bear these costs or if the entrepreneur indicates that he will bear the costs himself, the consumer does not have to bear the costs of return.
  6. If the consumer revokes after having first expressly requested that the performance of the service or the supply of gas, water or electricity that have not been made ready for sale in a limited volume or specific quantity commence during the cooling-off period, the consumer shall owe the entrepreneur an amount that is proportional to that part of the obligation that the entrepreneur has fulfilled at the time of revocation, compared with the full fulfilment of the obligation.
  7. The consumer shall not bear any costs for the performance of services or the supply of water, gas or electricity, which have not been made ready for sale in a limited volume or quantity, or for the supply of district heating, if:
  8. the entrepreneur has not provided the consumer with the legally required information about the right of withdrawal, the cost reimbursement in the event of withdrawal or the model withdrawal form, or;
  9. the consumer has not expressly requested the commencement of the performance of the service or the supply of gas, water, electricity or district heating during the cooling-off period.

Article 9 - Obligations of the entrepreneur in case of withdrawal

  1. If the entrepreneur makes it possible for the consumer to notify the withdrawal electronically, he will immediately send an acknowledgement of receipt after receiving this notification.
  2. The entrepreneur shall reimburse all payments made by the consumer, including any delivery costs charged by the entrepreneur for the returned product, without delay but within 14 days following the day on which the consumer notifies him of the withdrawal. Unless the entrepreneur offers to collect the product himself, he may wait with reimbursement until he has received the product or until the consumer proves that he has returned the product, whichever is the earlier.
  3. The entrepreneur uses the same payment method for reimbursement that the consumer used, unless the consumer agrees to another method. The reimbursement is free of charge for the consumer.
  4. If the consumer has opted for a more expensive method of delivery than the cheapest standard delivery, the entrepreneur does not have to reimburse the additional costs for the more expensive method.

Article 10 - Exclusion of the right of withdrawal

The entrepreneur can exclude the following products and services from the right of withdrawal, but only if the entrepreneur has clearly stated this in the offer, at least in good time before the conclusion of the agreement:

  1. Products or services whose price is subject to fluctuations in the financial market over which the entrepreneur has no influence and which may occur within the withdrawal period;
  2. Agreements concluded during a public auction. A public auction is understood to mean a sales method whereby products, digital content and/or services are offered by the entrepreneur to the consumer who is personally present or is given the opportunity to be personally present at the auction, under the direction of an auctioneer, and whereby the successful bidder is obliged to purchase the products, digital content and/or services;
  3. Service agreements, after full performance of the service, but only if:
  4. the performance has begun with the consumer's express prior consent; and
  5. the consumer has declared that he will lose his right of withdrawal once the entrepreneur has fully performed the agreement.
  6. If your order is incomplete or incorrect, you must report this to BEARLifestyle.nl within 14 days of receiving your order. You can contact us via info@BEARLifestyle.nl or 024 206 06 69.

    - After this period of 14 days it is unfortunately no longer possible to exchange or send a product. This restriction is necessary because of the return period, the need for evidence and the possibility that the product has been used in the meantime.

    - Please note: Please retain all original packaging and proof of purchase as these may be required to process your complaint.
    - Unfortunately, notifications outside the 14-day period cannot be processed.

Article 11 - The price

  1. During the period of validity stated in the offer, the prices of the products and/or services offered will not be increased, except for price changes due to changes in VAT rates.
  2. By way of exception to the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur may 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 prices stated are target prices shall be stated in the offer.
  3. Price increases within 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if they are the result of statutory regulations or provisions.
  4. 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.

  1. The prices stated in the offer of products or services include VAT.
  2. Manufacturer's warranty does not apply to products from the BEARLifestyle.nl outlet/sale.

Article 12 - Compliance with the agreement and additional warranty

  1. 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 the agreement was concluded. If agreed, the entrepreneur also guarantees that the product is suitable for other than normal use.
  2. An additional 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 under the agreement if the entrepreneur has failed to fulfil his part of the agreement.
  3. An additional guarantee is understood to mean any obligation of the entrepreneur, his supplier, importer or manufacturer in which he grants the consumer certain rights or claims that go beyond what he is legally obliged to do in the event that he has failed to fulfil his part of the agreement.

Manufacturer's warranty does not apply to products from the BEARLifestyle.nl outlet/sale.

Article 13 - Delivery and execution

  1. The entrepreneur will exercise the greatest possible care when receiving and executing orders for products and when assessing applications for the provision of services.
  2. The place of delivery is the address that the consumer has made known to the entrepreneur.
  3. Taking into account what is stated in article 4 of these general terms and conditions, the entrepreneur will execute accepted orders with due speed but at the latest within 30 days, unless another delivery period has been agreed. 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 at the latest 30 days after placing the order. In that case, the consumer has the right to dissolve the agreement without costs 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.
  5. 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 14 - Duration transactions: duration, termination and extension

Cancellation:

  1. The consumer may at any time terminate an agreement entered into for an indefinite period and which extends to the regular delivery of products (including electricity) or services, taking into account the agreed termination rules and a notice period of no more than one month.
  2. The consumer may terminate an agreement entered into for a definite period and which extends to the regular delivery of products (including electricity) or services, at any time towards the end of the fixed term, taking into account the agreed termination rules and a notice period of no more than one month.

  • Cancel at any time and not be limited to cancellation at a specific time or during a specific period;

Extension:

  1. An agreement entered into for a fixed period and aimed at the regular delivery of products (including electricity) or services may not be tacitly extended or renewed for a fixed period.
  2. By way of exception to the previous paragraph, an agreement entered into for a fixed period and aimed at 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 cancel this extended agreement at the end of the extension with a notice period of up to one month.
  3. An agreement entered into for a definite period and which provides for the regular delivery of products or services may only be tacitly extended for an indefinite period if the consumer may cancel at any time with a notice period of no more than one month. The notice period is no more than three months if the agreement provides for the regular, but less than once a month, delivery of daily newspapers, news and weekly newspapers and magazines.
  4. An agreement with a limited duration for the regular delivery of daily, news and weekly newspapers and magazines for the purpose of getting to know each other (trial or introductory subscription) will not be automatically extended and will end automatically after the trial or introductory period.

Duration:

  1. 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 term.

Article 15 - Payment

  1. Unless otherwise specified in the agreement or additional conditions, the amounts owed by the consumer must be paid within 30 days after the start of the cooling-off period, or in the absence of a cooling-off period within 30 days after the conclusion of the agreement. In the case of an agreement to provide a service, this period commences on the day after the consumer has received confirmation of the agreement.
  2. When selling products to consumers, the consumer may never be obliged in general terms and conditions to make an advance payment of more than 50%. If an advance payment has been agreed, the consumer cannot assert any rights regarding the execution of the order or service(s) in question before the agreed advance payment has been made.
  3. The consumer has the duty to report any inaccuracies in payment details provided or stated to the entrepreneur without delay.
  4. If the consumer does not meet his payment obligation(s) on time, after the entrepreneur has informed him of the late payment and the entrepreneur has granted the consumer a period of 30 days to still meet his payment obligations, if payment is not made within this 30-day period, the consumer will owe the statutory interest on the amount still owed and the entrepreneur is entitled to charge the extrajudicial collection costs incurred by him. These collection costs amount to a maximum of: 15% on outstanding amounts up to € 2,500; 10% on the next € 2,500 and 5% on the next € 5,000 with a minimum of € 40. The entrepreneur may deviate from the stated amounts and percentages to the advantage of the consumer.

Post-payment:

  1. If you choose to pay afterwards, you must pay the amount to Klarna BV (hereinafter: “Klarna”) within the set payment term. After all, all rights under the claim have been transferred by us to Klarna, who will take care of the collection of the claim. Your data will be checked and registered by or on behalf of Klarna, this data can be used, among other things, for the collection of outstanding claims, marketing purposes, data verification and the checking of orders in the implementation of the acceptance policy of organizations affiliated with Klarna and/or clients. Klarna reserves the right to refuse the customer's request for payment on account. The payment term used is a fatal term. In the event of late payment, the customer will be in default without notice of default and Klarna will be entitled to charge statutory commercial interest on a monthly basis from the due date of the invoice (whereby a part of a month is considered a whole month). Klarna is also entitled to charge the customer extrajudicial collection costs on the basis of the law. In the case of business customers, Klarna is also entitled to charge the customer reminder and dunning costs, without prejudice to Klarna's right to charge the customer for the actual costs incurred if these exceed the amount calculated in this way. These costs amount to at least 15% of the principal amount with a minimum of 40 euros for consumers and 75 euros for companies. Klarna is also entitled to transfer the claim to a third party. In that case, what has been determined above with regard to Klarna also applies to the third party to whom the claim has been transferred. 

Article 16 - Complaints procedure

  1. The entrepreneur has a sufficiently well-publicized complaints procedure and handles the complaint in accordance with this complaints procedure.
  2. Complaints about the performance of the agreement must be submitted to the entrepreneur within a reasonable time after the consumer has discovered the defects, fully and clearly described.
  3. Complaints submitted to the entrepreneur will be answered within a period of 30 days from the date of receipt. If a complaint requires a foreseeable longer processing time, the entrepreneur will respond within the period of 30 days with a confirmation of receipt and an indication of when the consumer can expect a more detailed answer.
  4. If the complaint cannot be resolved by mutual agreement within a reasonable period or within 3 months after the complaint has been submitted, a dispute arises that is subject to the dispute resolution procedure.

Article 17 - Disputes
