We aim to provide accurate product descriptions. However:

All products are subject to availability.

We reserve the right to correct pricing errors, even after an order has been placed.

Currency conversions shown on the Website are indicative only. Transactions are legally processed in euros unless explicitly stated otherwise. Exchange rate fluctuations and banking fees are the buyer’s responsibility.

7. ORDERS AND ACCEPTANCE

An order constitutes an offer to purchase. A binding agreement is formed only upon order confirmation by email.

We reserve the right to:

  • Refuse or cancel orders;
  • Limit quantities per customer;
  • Reject orders suspected of fraud, abuse, or resale manipulation.

8. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING AND IMPORT RESPONSIBILITY

We ship internationally where permitted by law.

For orders shipped outside the European Union:

  • The buyer is solely responsible for import duties, customs fees, and local taxes;
  • Customs delays are outside our control;
  • Refused or undeliverable shipments due to import issues may result in additional costs charged to the buyer.

We do not guarantee that products comply with local laws outside the Netherlands. Compliance with local import regulations is the buyer’s responsibility.

  • You are not located in, or a resident of, any country subject to EU trade sanctions;

Returned items must be in original condition. Diminished value due to handling beyond inspection may be deducted.

If resolution fails, disputes shall be submitted to the competent courts in the Netherlands, unless mandatory consumer law provides otherwise.
