  trader and consumer.
b) Before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general conditions is made available to the consumer.

the offer
a) If an offer has a limited period of validity or is made under certain conditions, this will be
expressly stated in the offer.b) The offer contains a complete and precise description of the products on offer. The
description is sufficiently detailed to make a good assessment of the offer by the consumer possible. If the trader

necessary for this;IV the application or non-application of the right of withdrawal;V the method of payment, delivery
and implementation of the contract;VI the period for the acceptance of the offer or the period within which the trader
guarantees the price;VIIthe amount of the charge for distance communication if the costs of using the technology for
distance communication are calculated on a basis other than the regular basic charge for the means of communication
used;VIII whether the contract will be filed after it is concluded and, if so, the manner in which it can be consulted
by the consumer;IX the manner in which the consumer, before concluding the contract, can check the data he has provided
in the context of the contract and correct it if desired;X any other languages, apart from Dutch, in which the contract
can be concluded;XI the codes of conduct which the trader has submitted himself to and the manner in which the consumer
