GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF IDCP GROUP B.V.
The text of these general terms and conditions is a translation of the
general terms and conditions drawn up in Dutch that have (also) been
submitted to the customer by IDCP (as defined here below) and declared
applicable. No rights or claims can be derived from the text of the
general terms and conditions, translated into English. In the event of
contradictions or differences of interpretation between the Dutch and
English text, the Dutch text of the general terms and conditions will
prevail at all times.
GENERAL
These general terms and conditions have been filed at the office of the
Chamber of Commerce under Chamber of Commerce number 32133422 and apply
to all quotations, offers, assignments, agreements, by whatever name,
concerning deliveries of products and / or services by IDCP Group B.V.
or its subsidiaries, hereinafter referred to as "IDCP", to third
parties, hereinafter referred to as the "customer", unless the parties
have expressly agreed otherwise in writing.
These general terms and conditions always take precedence over other
terms and conditions of the customer, by whatever name, unless the
parties have explicitly agreed otherwise in writing.
QUOTES AND OFFERS
All quotations and offers from IDCP are without obligation and do not
bind IDCP.
If an expiry period is included in a quotation or offer, IDCP is no
longer obliged to maintain its offer after this period has expired.
An agreement as referred to in article 3 of these general terms and
conditions does not always have to be preceded by a quotation or offer.
Every quotation or offer is based on the performance of the agreement
under normal circumstances and working hours.
AGREEMENTS
Agreements are only concluded by written confirmation of the order, in
whatever form, or after IDCP has commenced implementation of the order
for the delivery of a product or service. If under certain
circumstances, for example due to the nature, scope or urgency of the
order, no order confirmation has been sent by IDCP, the invoice will be
considered as such.
An acceptance that deviates from the offer made by IDCP counts as a new
offer and can be rejected by IDCP at any time. In that case, an
agreement is only concluded if and insofar as IDCP explicitly agrees in
writing with the changes and / or additions made by the customer to the
offer that IDCP originally made.
IDCP reserves the right at all times to withdraw an offer already
accepted by the customer, whether or not laid down in a written
agreement, within a reasonable period after IDCP has been informed of
this acceptance. Revocation of an offer already accepted by the customer
will never lead to any form of liability for damages for IDCP. The
above-described right to revoke an offer that has already been accepted
will lapse as soon as IDCP has sent a written order confirmation to that
effect.
Verbal promises, agreements or other legal acts only bind IDCP if they
have been made by expressly authorized representatives in writing or
otherwise authorized to represent IDCP.
Articles 20 to 32 of these general terms and conditions only apply to
offers from IDCP to a customer not acting in the exercise of a
profession or business (hereinafter referred to as a "consumer" or
"consumers") and all contracts concluded between IDCP and a consumer at
a distance. A distance contract is an agreement concluded between IDCP
and the consumer within the framework of an organized system for
distance sales of products and / or services, whereby up to and
including the conclusion of the contract, exclusive or partial use is
made of one or more means that can be used to conclude an agreement,
without the consumer and IDCP having to be together in the same room at
the same time (hereinafter the "technique for distance communication").
The agreement thus concluded between IDCP and the consumer is
hereinafter referred to as the "distance agreement"). Unless stated
otherwise, the articles preceding Article 20 apply to both business
customers and consumers. In the event that the content of a provision in
Articles 20 to 32 deviates in any way from the content of any provision
in the preceding Articles 1 to 19 of these General Terms and Conditions,
the provision as included in Articles 20 to 32 will prevail.
CANCELLATIONS
Cancellation of the agreement by the customer is only possible with the
prior express written consent of IDCP. If IDCP agrees to cancellation of
the agreement, it always has the right to charge the customer 10% of the
principal sum as a result of loss of profit. In addition, the customer
is obliged to pay all costs already incurred and damage suffered and to
be suffered by IDCP in connection with the agreement.
Agreements pertaining to products specifically to be purchased by IDCP
for the benefit of the customer cannot be canceled, unless the relevant
products have not yet been purchased by IDCP and IDCP can still cancel
the purchase itself. The provisions of the previous paragraph will also
apply in such cases.
In case of cancellation, the customer cannot claim what has already been
performed by IDCP.
Cancellation by the customer must always be made by registered letter
addressed to IDCP.
DELIVERY AND COMPLAINTS
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, delivery takes place EXW (ex works,
see Incoterms 2020). With regard to the delivery time, a product is
considered to be delivered if it is available for transfer of possession
to the customer, or at least can be brought under his control.
Delivery times are only approximate and are not binding on IDCP, unless
the parties have explicitly agreed otherwise in writing. Exceeding the
delivery time, for whatever reason, does not entitle the customer to
full or partial dissolution of the agreement.
IDCP is at all times entitled to make partial deliveries. For the
application of these general terms and conditions, each partial delivery
is regarded as an independent delivery.
Exceeding the delivery period, or non-delivery, can only entitle the
customer to compensation if the parties have explicitly agreed to such
in writing. If IDCP is liable due to a delivery term being exceeded,
this liability will always be limited to damage for which IDCP is
insured, or at least should have been insured according to common
opinion. Consequential damage is always excluded.
Products that have not been purchased by the customer after the expiry of
the delivery period, remain at the disposal of IDCP and are stored by IDCP
at the expense and risk of the customer.
The customer is obliged to check delivered products and / or work
performed on delivery for any shortcomings or damage and to communicate
these as soon as possible (but in the event of visible defects at the
latest within three days after delivery of the products or the execution
of the work that has been carried out) to IDCP in writing, stating the
facts to which the complaint relates. Complaints in the event of invisible
defects must be made immediately after discovery, but in any case within
the applicable warranty period, also by means of a specified written
notification. If the aforementioned terms are exceeded, any claim against
IDCP will lapse in respect of the defects in question. Under penalty of
forfeiture, legal claims with regard to shortcomings or damage must be
instituted within one year after a timely complaint.
Minor and / or customary deviations and differences in quality, color,
size, etc. can never be grounds for complaints.
If the customer has not made a complaint within the period referred to in
paragraph 6, he is deemed to have approved the delivered goods and loses
all rights and powers that are available to him in this regard under the
law.
LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
The products delivered by IDCP will comply with the statutory
regulations applicable in the Netherlands on the day of the conclusion
of the agreement, including those relating to safety.
If between the date of conclusion of the agreement and the delivery,
amended statutory regulations come into effect, of which it is known in
advance that they will come into effect before delivery, the products
concerned will be adapted to these new regulations if possible. All
related costs are borne by the customer.
WARRANTY
The warranty stated in this article does not affect the statutory rights
(including the right under Book 7 of the Dutch Civil Code that the item
complies with the agreement on delivery) that the consumer has on that
account.
IDCP only warrants the quality of the products in the condition they are
in at the time of delivery and only warrants that the products have the
characteristics that are necessary for their normal use.
IDCP does not grant any other warranty on the products it supplies than
that provided by its suppliers. The warranty concerned applies
exclusively during the warranty periods set by its suppliers.
The warranty provided by IDCP through its suppliers means that IDCP will
repair or replace the products after it has received the defective,
returned products from the customer. The warranty does not oblige IDCP
to credit any invoice amounts.
IDCP does not provide a warranty on delivered second-hand products,
unless the parties have explicitly agreed otherwise in writing.
Warranty claims lapse:
a. if the customer has not notified IDCP of
the defects specified and in writing within five days of the day on
which the defects were discovered, or at least could reasonably have
been discovered;
b. if the customer cannot demonstrate that the
instructions and directions for use, maintenance and operation provided
by IDCP or the relevant supplier have been followed correctly;
c.
if the customer or third parties have carried out repairs or other types
of work to the delivered items without the express written permission of
IDCP, or have made changes to them;
d. if the customer does not or
not fully comply with any obligation arising from the agreement or a
related agreement, or obstructs IDCP in its investigation into the cause
of the defect;
e. from the moment the products are incorporated
into other products;
If IDCP replaces products in the fulfillment of its warranty
obligations, the replaced products become the property of IDCP.
IDCP does not guarantee the capacity, characteristics or legal
permissibility of the products supplied by IDCP, if they are used in a
way other than intended or if changes are made to the products by the
customer or third parties without IDCP's consent.
RETENTION OF TITLE AND RIGHT OF RETENTION
All products delivered by or on behalf of IDCP remain the property of
IDCP and at the expense and risk of the customer until all claims that
IDCP has or obtains on the customer under any agreement have been paid
in full. Except with the express written permission of IDCP, the
customer is not entitled to encumber these products.
If the customer fails to fulfill any obligation under the agreement,
under these general terms and conditions or for any other reason, IDCP
is entitled, without further notice of default, to take back the
products. In such a case, IDCP is entitled to unhindered access to the
products it supplied. The customer will moreover fully cooperate with
IDCP to enable IDCP to exercise its retention of title.
The customer is obliged to immediately notify IDCP in writing of the
fact that third parties are asserting rights to products that are
subject to IDCP's retention of title.
As security for a correct payment of all claims, for whatever reason, by
entering into an agreement with the customer IDCP also obtains an
undisclosed pledge as security on all products that IDCP has delivered
and which are still in possession of the customer.
The products delivered by IDCP are at the expense and risk of the
customer from the moment of delivery, even if the ownership has not yet
been transferred. Until full payment is made, the customer is obliged to
insure the products sufficiently against fire, theft, claims from third
parties and its own risk. The customer is deemed to have assigned his
rights arising from this insurance agreement to IDCP until full payment
is made. At the request of IDCP, the customer must provide the name of
the insurance company concerned.
IDCP is not obliged to any indemnification of the customer for his
liability as holder of the products.
The customer indemnifies IDCP against claims that third parties have or
will have against IDCP that can be associated with the retention of
title.
If the customer does not or partially does not pay the costs associated
with the implementation of the agreement, IDCP is at all times entitled
to exercise the right of retention on all those products to which the
implementation of the agreement relates and which it actually has in its
possession under the agreement.
RETURNS
Return of products, other than due to incorrect delivery, is only
possible if IDCP has explicitly agreed to this in writing.
Products that are not in good condition, or whose packaging is not in
good condition (anymore), cannot be returned to IDCP, such solely at the
discretion of IDCP.
Return shipments must be accompanied by a packing slip, on which the date
and number of the delivery note or IDCP's invoice are stated. Products
that cannot be shown to have been delivered by IDCP are not eligible for
credit. This also applies to products of which the number does not
correspond to the standard packaging unit.
Credit notes relating to the products returned by the customer are
calculated according to the prices and discounts applicable on the date of
crediting. However, the amount of the credit note will never exceed the
amount of the related debit invoice.
PRICES
The prices stated by IDCP are net prices and are exclusive of turnover
tax and other governmental charges pertaining to the sale and / or
delivery and / or execution of the agreement. The prices stated by IDCP
are based on prices as they apply on the day of the offer.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, prices are based on EXW delivery (ex
works, see Incoterms 2020).
If, after the date of conclusion of the agreement, one or more of the
applicable cost price factors, such as those of wage costs, materials,
taxes, premiums, excise duties, exchange rates of foreign currencies,
undergoes an increase, even if this occurs due to foreseeable
circumstances, IDCP entitled to increase the agreed price accordingly.
After a price change, IDCP is entitled to adjust any agreed installment
payment proportionally.
PAYMENT CONDITIONS
Payment by the customer, after deduction of any advance or down payment,
must be made at the latest on delivery of the products or after the
services have been provided, unless the parties have expressly agreed in
writing that payment must be made within 14 (fourteen) days after the
invoice date, into a bank account designated by IDCP and without any
set-off or deduction other than the aforementioned.
IDCP is at all times entitled to request full or partial advance payment
from the customer. If the customer exceeds any credit limit expressly
agreed in writing by the Parties, delivery of a product or service can
only take place after prepayment.
Unless the parties have explicitly agreed otherwise in writing, payment
must be made in euros.
The customer is in default, without any further notice of default being
required in any form whatsoever, if he does not or not timely comply
with his payment obligation or any other obligation arising from the
agreement with IDCP, these general terms and conditions or the law.
The claim for partial or full payment of the agreed price is immediately
due and payable if the customer is declared bankrupt, applies for a
moratorium or if it has been filed for receivership, if any attachment
is levied on the products and / or claims of the customer and if he dies
or goes into liquidation.
If payment of an invoice has not been made on time, IDCP is entitled,
after expiry of the relevant term, to charge the customer, if applicable
with retroactive effect to the invoice date, a default interest of 1.5%
per month, whereby part of a month is calculated as a full month.
In addition to the principal sum and the default interest, the customer
owes all those costs that are caused by his non-payment or late payment,
including judicial and extrajudicial costs, lawyer and bailiff's costs.
These extrajudicial costs are fixed at 15% of the principal sum, with a
minimum of € 150, plus the VAT due.
If IDCP files for bankruptcy of the customer, he will, in addition to
the principal sum, interest and extrajudicial costs, also owe IDCP the
costs of the bankruptcy petition.
TERMINATION
If the customer does not, not timely or not properly fulfill the
obligations arising for the customer from any agreement concluded with
IDCP, as well as in the event of bankruptcy or suspension of payments,
receivership or in the event of the closure or liquidation of its
business, the customer is deemed to be in default by operation of law
and IDCP will be entitled, without judicial intervention and without
further notice of default, to dissolve all or part of each of these
agreements, without being obliged to pay any form of compensation to the
customer or third parties and without prejudice to the further rights
accruing to IDCP, including the right of IDCP to compensation for lost
profit, costs incurred and other damage suffered and to be suffered.
If the provisions of the first paragraph occur and the customer enjoys
an advantage that he would not have had if he had properly fulfilled its
obligations, IDCP is in any case entitled to compensation amounting to
at least the amount of this benefit, without prejudice to IDCP's further
rights under the agreement, these general terms and conditions and the
law.
FORCE MAJEURE
IDCP has the right, forced to do so by force majeure, to dissolve or
suspend the agreement without judicial intervention, without being
obliged to pay any form of compensation.
Force majeure includes all causes that reasonably fall outside the
sphere of influence of IDCP (including war, threat of war, natural
disasters, pandemics or epidemics, weather influences, strikes in the
own company or a supply company, late or incorrect deliveries from
supply companies, etc.) and that hinder a full or partial execution of
the agreement.
If the force majeure situation is only of a temporary nature, IDCP also
has the right to suspend the execution of the order for delivery until
the time when the force majeure situation has ended.
If the performance of the work becomes impossible due to a circumstance
that cannot be attributed to IDCP, IDCP is entitled to payment by the
customer of the relevant part of the agreed price, plus any costs
incurred, with regard to what has already been performed.
In the event of the delivery becoming impossible due to the actions of
the customer or government regulations, IDCP is entitled to payment by
the customer of the agreed price, plus any costs, minus the costs saved
due to non-completion.
CHANGED CONDITIONS
If it turns out that an order given to IDCP or a part thereof can only
be carried out modified due to a circumstance that cannot be attributed
to IDCP, IDCP will notify the customer as soon as possible. IDCP shall
then also indicate the financial consequences, whereby the agreed change
will be settled as additional work or less work.
LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY
IDCP is only liable for damage caused to the customer or third parties
that is the exclusive and direct result of willful intent and / or gross
negligence on the part of IDCP, subject to the proviso that only that
damage is eligible for compensation for which IDCP is insured, or should
have been insured according to common opinion in its sector.
LIABILITY
IDCP is never liable for damage caused by willful intent and / or gross
negligence on the part of auxiliary persons.
In case IDCP, contrary to the above, should be liable for damage and
this damage is not due to willful intent or gross negligence on the part
of IDCP, the liability of IDCP is always limited to direct damage to
goods or persons and it shall never be extended to any trading loss or
other consequential loss, including loss of income. The liability of
IDCP is further limited to that damage and a maximum of those amounts
against which IDCP is insured, or should reasonably have been insured.
The provisions of the previous paragraph only apply insofar as the
liability under the agreement, the general terms and conditions or the
law has not already been further limited.
The customer indemnifies IDCP against all claims with regard to any
damage caused by or in connection with the product or the possession or
use thereof directly or indirectly to any third party, however and in
whatever form, insofar as such liability exceeds the liability of IDCP
towards the customer pursuant to the provisions of these general terms
and conditions.
The customer indemnifies IDCP against all claims from him or any third
party due to a defect in the product which is partly caused by the
behavior of the customer or his subordinates.
If any provision referred to in this article is considered unreasonably
onerous in legal proceedings, then compensation will only be eligible
for damage for which IDCP is insured and up to the maximum for which
IDCP is insured, or for which IDCP should reasonably have insurance,
also in view of the common practice within the industry.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
IDCP (or its licensor(s)) retains all intellectual property rights
(including copyright, patent law, trademark law, drawing and model law,
etc.) on all its designs, drawings, writings, software, carriers with
data or other information, offers, images, sketches, models, etc.,
unless the parties have agreed otherwise in writing.
Without the express written permission of IDCP (or its licensor(s)), the
rights referred to in the previous paragraph may not be copied, shown to
third parties and / or made available or used in any other way than the
manner of use such as has been agreed with IDCP (or its licensor(s)) and
/ or for a purpose other than that for which they were put into use.
IDCP reserves the right to use any knowledge gained through the
performance of the work, including the services provided by IDCP, for
other purposes, insofar as no confidential information is disclosed to
third parties.
CONFIDENTIALITY
The customer is obliged to observe secrecy of all confidential
information made available to him or one of his subordinates by IDCP.
Confidential information includes in any case the corporate data of
IDCP. The customer undertakes to impose a written obligation of
confidentiality on its personnel and / or third parties involved in the
implementation of the agreement with the meaning of this provision. This
article does not apply to information that has been lawfully obtained by
the customer from third parties or that has been made generally known by
IDCP itself.
MISCELLANEOUS
Non-transferability - The customer is not entitled to transfer the
rights and obligations under an agreement concluded with IDCP to a third
party without IDCP's consent.
Outsourcing - IDCP is authorized to make use of the services of third
parties in the execution of an agreement with the customer, whether in
subcontracting, by hiring staff or otherwise.
Changes - Changes to the agreement with the customer are only valid if
and insofar as they have been agreed in writing with IDCP.
Divisibility - Should any provision in an agreement with the customer be
null and void or voidable or be judged to be so, this will not affect
the validity and enforceability of the agreement concerned, insofar as
it concerns provisions other than the invalid provision. In such a case,
the parties will take all necessary action to enable implementation and,
if necessary, to reach agreement on an amended text of the relevant void
or voided provision. In the aforementioned situations, the parties will
act as much as possible in accordance with the spirit and scope of the
void or nullified provision.
DISPUTES AND APPLICABLE LAW
All disputes, however named - including those that are considered as
such by only one of the parties - that may arise between the customer
and IDCP as a result of the agreement or agreements that may be a
consequence thereof, will be subject to the judgment of the District
Court of Midden-Nederland.
All agreements to which these general terms and conditions apply in
whole or in part are exclusively governed by Dutch law.
The provisions of the Vienna Sales Convention are not applicable, nor
are any future international regulations regarding the purchase of
movable products, the effect of which can be excluded by the parties.
CONDITIONS APPLICABLE ONLY TO A CONSUMER
The provisions of this article and the following articles only apply to
offers from IDCP to a consumer (as defined in article 3.5 of these
general terms and conditions) and all distance agreements concluded
between IDCP and a consumer.
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, IDCP will indicate before the distance contract
is concluded how these general terms and conditions can be viewed at
IDCP and that they will be sent free of charge as soon as possible at
the request of the consumer.
If the distance contract is concluded electronically, then contrary to
the previous paragraph and before the distance contract is concluded,
the text of these general terms and conditions can be made available to
the consumer electronically in such a way that these can be easily
stored by the consumer on a durable data medium. A durable data medium
is understood to mean: any tool - including e-mail - that enables the
consumer or IDCP to store information that is addressed to him
personally in a way that allows future consultation or use for a period
that is appropriate to the purpose for which the information is
intended, and which enables unaltered reproduction of the stored
information (hereinafter a “durable data medium”).
If it is not reasonably possible to implement what is stated in the
third paragraph, IDCP will indicate, before the distance contract is
concluded, where the general terms and conditions can be viewed
electronically and that the general terms and conditions at the request
of the consumer will be sent electronically or otherwise free of charge.
In the event that specific product or service conditions apply in
addition to these general terms and conditions, the second, third and
fourth paragraphs of this article apply mutatis mutandis.
THE OFFER TO A CONSUMER
If an offer from IDCP has a limited period of validity or is made
subject to certain conditions, this will be explicitly stated in the
relevant offer.
The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products
offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to enable the consumer
to make a proper assessment of the offer. If IDCP uses images, these are
as faithful a representation as possible of the products offered.
Obvious mistakes or errors in the offer do not bind IDCP.
Each offer contains such information that it is clear to the consumer
what rights and obligations are attached to the acceptance of the offer.
THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN IDCP AND A CONSUMER
The distance contract is concluded, subject to the provisions of
paragraph 4 of this article, at the moment of acceptance by the consumer
of the offer from IDCP and compliance with all the corresponding
conditions.
If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, IDCP will
immediately confirm receipt of the acceptance of the offer
electronically. As long as the receipt of this acceptance has not been
confirmed by IDCP, the consumer can dissolve the distance contract.
If the distance contract is concluded electronically, IDCP will take
appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure the
electronic transfer of data and ensure a secure web environment. If the
consumer can pay electronically, IDCP will observe appropriate security
measures.
IDCP can - within legal frameworks - inform itself whether the consumer
can meet his payment obligations, as well as of all those facts and
factors that are important for a responsible conclusion of the distance
contract. If, on the basis of this investigation, IDCP has good reasons
not to enter into the distance contract, it is entitled to refuse an
order or request, with reasons, or to attach special conditions to the
execution.
IDCP will at the latest upon delivery of the product to the consumer
send the following information, in writing or in such a way that it can
be stored by the consumer in an accessible manner on a durable data
medium:
-
a. the visiting address of IDCP where the consumer can go to in case
of complaints;
-
b. the conditions under which and the way in which the consumer can
make use of the right of withdrawal, or a clear statement regarding
the exclusion of the right of withdrawal;
-
c. information about warranties and existing service after purchase;
-
d. the price, including all taxes, of the product; insofar as
applicable, the costs of delivery; and the method of payment,
delivery or implementation of the distance contract;
-
e. if the consumer has a right of withdrawal, the model form for
withdrawal: the European model form for withdrawal included in
Appendix 1 to these general terms and conditions.
RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
The consumer can dissolve a distance contract with regard to the
purchase of a product during a reflection period of at least 14
(fourteen) days without giving reasons. IDCP may ask the consumer about
the reason for the withdrawal, but not oblige him to state his
reason(s).
The reflection period referred to in paragraph 1 of this article starts
on the day after the consumer, or a third party predesignated by the
consumer, who is not the carrier, has received the product, or:
-
a. if the consumer has ordered several products in the same order:
the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by him,
received the last product.
-
b. if the delivery of a product consists of several shipments or
parts: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by
him, received the last shipment or the last part;
-
c. in the case of agreements for regular delivery of products during
a certain period: the day on which the consumer, or a third party
designated by him, has received the first product.
OBLIGATIONS OF THE CONSUMER DURING THE CONSIDERATION PERIOD
During the reflection 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 operation
of the product. The basic principle here is that the consumer may only
handle and inspect the product as he would be allowed to do in a store.
The consumer is only liable for the depreciation of the product that is
the result of a way of handling the product that goes beyond what is
permitted in paragraph 1 of this article.
The consumer is not liable for a decrease in value of the product if
IDCP has not provided him with all legally required information about
the right of withdrawal before or at the conclusion of the distance
contract.
EXERCISE OF THE RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL BY THE CONSUMER AND ITS COSTS
If the consumer makes use of his right of withdrawal, he must report
this to IDCP within the reflection period by means of the withdrawal
form or in another unambiguous manner.
As soon as possible, but within 14 (fourteen) days from the day
following the notification referred to in paragraph 1 of this article,
the consumer will return the product or hand it over to (an authorized
representative of) IDCP. This is not necessary if IDCP has offered to
collect the product itself. The consumer has in any case complied with
the return period if he sends back the product before the reflection
period has expired.
The consumer returns the product with all accessories supplied, if
reasonably possible in its original condition and packaging, and in
accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by IDCP.
The risk and the burden of proof for the correct and timely exercise of
the right of withdrawal lies with the consumer.
The consumer bears the direct costs of returning the product. If IDCP
has not reported that the consumer must bear these costs or if IDCP
indicates that it will bear the costs itself, the consumer does not have
to bear the costs for returning the goods.
If the consumer exercises his right of withdrawal, all additional
agreements will be dissolved by operation of law.
OBLIGATIONS OF IDCP IN THE EVENT OF WITHDRAWAL
If IDCP makes the notification of withdrawal by the consumer
electronically possible, it will immediately send a confirmation of
receipt after receipt of this notification.
IDCP will reimburse all payments made by the consumer, including any
delivery costs charged by IDCP for the returned product, without delay
but within 14 (fourteen) days following the day on which the consumer
notifies him of the withdrawal. Unless IDCP offers to collect the
product himself, he may wait with paying back until he has received the
product or until the consumer demonstrates that he has returned the
product, whichever is the earlier.
IDCP uses the same payment method that the consumer used for
reimbursement, unless the consumer agrees to a different method. The
reimbursement is free of charge for the consumer.
If the consumer has opted for a more expensive method of delivery than
the cheapest standard delivery, IDCP does not have to refund the
additional costs for the more expensive method.
EXCLUSION OF THE RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
IDCP can exclude the following products from the right of withdrawal,
but only if IDCP has clearly stated this in the offer, at least before
the conclusion of the distance contract:
-
a. Products or services whose price is dependent on fluctuations in
the financial market to which IDCP has no influence and which may
occur within the withdrawal period;
-
b. Products manufactured according to the consumer's specifications,
which are not prefabricated and which are manufactured on the basis of
an individual choice or decision of the consumer, or which are clearly
intended for a specific person;
-
c. Sealed products that are not suitable for return for reasons of
health protection or hygiene and of which the seal has been broken
after delivery;
-
d. Sealed audio, video recordings, and computer software, the seal of
which has been broken after delivery;
-
e. Products that are irrevocably mixed with other products after
delivery due to their nature.
THE PRICE
The prices stated in the offer include VAT.
During the period of validity stated in the offer, the prices of the
products offered will not be increased, except for price changes due to
changes in VAT rates.
DELIVERY AND IMPLEMENTATION
IDCP will take the greatest possible care when receiving and executing
orders for products by consumers.
The place of delivery is the address that the consumer has made known to
IDCP.
With due observance of what is stated in article 21 of these general
terms and conditions, IDCP will execute accepted orders with due speed,
but no later than within 30 (thirty) days, unless a different delivery
period has been agreed. If the delivery is delayed, or if an order
cannot or only partially be executed, the consumer will be informed of
this no later than 30 (thirty) days after placing the order. In that
case, the consumer has the right to terminate the distance contract free
of charge and is entitled to any compensation.
After dissolution in accordance with the previous paragraph, IDCP will
immediately refund the amount that the consumer has paid.
The risk of damage and/or loss of products rests with IDCP until the
moment of delivery to the consumer or a pre-designated representative
made known to IDCP, unless explicitly agreed otherwise.
PAYMENT
Unless otherwise provided in the distance contract or additional
conditions, the amounts owed by the consumer must be paid within 14
(fourteen) days after the start of the reflection period, or in the
absence of a reflection period within 14 (fourteen) days after the
conclusion of the distance contract.
When selling products to consumers and when prepayment has been
stipulated, the consumer cannot assert any rights whatsoever with regard
to the execution of the order concerned before the stipulated prepayment
has been made.
The consumer has the duty to report inaccuracies in provided or stated
payment details to IDCP without delay.
If the consumer does not meet his payment obligation(s) on time, after
he has been informed by IDCP of the late payment and IDCP has granted
the consumer a period of 14 (fourteen) days to still fulfill his payment
obligations, then after non-payment within this fourteen-day period, the
statutory interest is due on the non-paid amount and IDCP is entitled to
charge the extrajudicial collection costs incurred by it. These
collection costs amount to a maximum of: 15% on outstanding amounts up
to € 2,500.=; 10% on the following € 2,500.= and 5% on the next €
5,000.= that is outstanding, with a minimum of € 40. IDCP can deviate
from the stated amounts and percentages in favor of the consumer.
COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE
IDCP has a well-publicized complaints procedure and handles complaints
in accordance with this complaints procedure.
Complaints about the implementation of the distance contract must be
submitted fully and clearly described to IDCP within a reasonable time
after the consumer has discovered the defects.
Complaints submitted to IDCP will be answered within a period of 14
(fourteen) days from the date of receipt. If a complaint requires a
foreseeable longer processing time, IDCP will reply within 14 (fourteen)
days with a notice of receipt and an indication when the consumer can
expect a more detailed answer.
The consumer must in any case give IDCP 4 (four) weeks to resolve the
complaint in mutual consultation. After this period, a dispute arises
that, in accordance with Article 19 of these general terms and
conditions, can be submitted to the competent court for adjudication.
ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT PROVISIONS
Additional provisions or provisions deviating from these general terms
and conditions may not be to the detriment of the consumer and must be
recorded in writing or in such a way that they can be stored by the
consumer in an accessible manner on a durable data medium.

IDCP collects and processes personal data, including (possibly) data from
you. In most cases we do this on the basis of agreements concluded
directly with you or on the basis of agreements with customers, who in
such a case can be regarded as controllers within the meaning of the
General Data Processing Regulation, hereinafter the “GDPR” and from that
role also determine the purpose and means for the processing and
collection of personal data. Sometimes we process your personal data in
order to be able to carry out (targeted) marketing and promotional
activities, to establish, maintain, manage or expand our relationship with
you or a (potential) customer, for assessment and acceptance of our
customers, in order to comply with our legal obligations, to be able to
perform analyzes for statistical purposes or to send newsletters or
information of a specific nature.
If we also process your personal data, for example for the performance of
an agreement concluded with you or because you have indicated that you
would like to receive newsletters from us, you are a data subject within
the meaning of the GDPR and this privacy statement then is also applicable
to you.

TYPES OF DATA

and not excessive in relation to the purposes for which it was
collected. When a function or service can be realized with anonymous
data, we will try to anonymize your personal data. As long as anonymous
or non-personal information is combined with your personal information,
we will treat it as personal information. In the event that personal
data cannot be anonymised, we will try to pseudonymise it where desired,
necessary and possible. In such a case, personal data is transformed
into data that can no longer be directly traced back to a person.
Subsequently, the pseudonymised data and the (key to the) source data
are stored separately from each other and covered with safeguards to
prevent re-identification, which does not mean that re-identification is
no longer possible. On the basis of the law or a court decision, it
could even be that we are or may be obliged to share this information
with the competent authorities.

following reasons and for the following purposes:
-
a. to establish, maintain, manage or expand our relationship with you
or a (potential) customer;
- b. to comply with our legal obligations;
- c. to be able to perform analyzes for statistical purposes;
-
d. to be able to send newsletters or information of a specific nature
and to carry out (targeted) marketing and promotional activities.

(at least) one of the following legal grounds:

example to be able to comply with the legal retention periods of
invoices;

c. the explicit consent you have given to process your personal data
for specific purposes;

possible direct marketing and / or profiling aimed at marketing.
If we have obtained your personal data from a customer of ours, when
collecting and processing this data we assume that the customer in
question has a legal ground to process your data for the purposes
referred to in this article.
STORAGE AND RETENTION PERIOD OF PERSONAL DATA
As controller, we are obliged to keep a processing register of the
processing activities that take place under our responsibility.
We only keep your personal data for as long and insofar as we need it to

to protect and defend our rights or those of the parties involved in the

safeguard the personal safety of the (employees of) IDCP or the parties
involved in the proper execution of the agreement with you or our
customer, or if you have given us permission to do so.

c. external parties involved in any sale or transfer of any part of
IDCP, or certain assets, such as a party interested in the purchase or
transfer, accountants, civil-law notaries and lawyers;
These external parties can also be located outside the EU.
External parties that process the personal data under our control and
responsibility do so only for the purposes and under the conditions that
we have agreed with you or with our customer and subsequently with these
external parties. We record this in written (sub) processor agreements
that ensure that these external parties assume at least the same
obligations as agreed between you or our customer and us. These parties
will at least be obliged to handle the information provided by us
securely and confidentially.
We also reserve the right to share anonymous and / or aggregated
(non-personally identifiable) information that we have obtained from the
