Article 6 – Delivery
6.1 All deliveries are made ex-warehouse. Products are available from CellCare Supplements through the web shop, by email or otherwise.
6.2 The Buyer is obliged to take delivery of the products at the moment that the Seller delivers them to it or has them delivered, or at the moment they are made available to the Buyer in accordance with the Agreement.

6.4 If the Buyer does not take delivery of the products purchased within 48 hours, the Seller is entitled to sell the products to someone else. If this fails, the Seller is entitled to destroy the products. The damage suffered by the Seller in the event of resale or destruction will be borne by the Buyer.
6.5 If the Seller has specified a term for delivery, this is indicative. A specified delivery time is therefore never a strict deadline. If a term is exceeded, the Buyer must give the Seller written notice of default and allow the Seller a reasonable period of time to ensure compliance.

6.7 The Seller is entitled to deliver the products in parts. The Seller is entitled to invoice partial deliveries separately.

This cooling-off period starts on the day after receipt of the product by the consumer or a representative designated in advance by the consumer and made known to the Seller.
7.2.1 During the cooling-off period, the consumer will handle the product and the packaging with care. The Buyer will only remove the product from the transport packaging to determine the characteristics and effect of the product as indicated on the label/boxes. The principle that applies here is that the Buyer may only handle and inspect the product as they would be allowed in a shop. The seal under the cap must not be broken.
7.2.2 The consumer is only liable for value decrease of the product that is the result of a way of handling the product that goes beyond what is permitted in Article 7.2.1.
In the event of provision of services to consumers:
7.3. When services are provided, the consumer has the option to terminate the Agreement without stating reasons for a period of at least fourteen days, starting on the day of entering into the Agreement, but never within 48 hours of the start of the service.
7.4 To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us (CellCare Philosophy in Supplements, Ohmstraat 3a, 3861 NB Nijkerk.

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.

8.1 If the consumer makes use of their right of withdrawal, no more than the costs of return will be for their account, unless agreed otherwise.

Article 9 - Inspection, complaint
9.1 The Buyer is obliged to inspect the delivered goods or have them inspected at the time of delivery.
In doing so, the Buyer should examine whether the quality and quantity of the delivered goods correspond to what has been agreed.

The Buyer will tolerate a deviation in the quality, colour, smell, weight, density, number and size of 0-5%.
9.3 Any visible shortcomings must be reported to the Seller in writing within 24 hours after delivery. The notice of default must contain as detailed a description as possible of the shortcoming, so that the Seller is able to respond adequately. Invisible defects must be reported to the Seller in writing within 8 working days after delivery.
9.4 Complaints regarding invoices must be made in writing within 8 days of the invoice date.
9.5 After expiry of the aforementioned terms, the Buyer is deemed to have approved the delivered goods and/or the invoice.
9.6 If a complaint is lodged in a timely manner pursuant to the previous paragraph, the Buyer remains obliged to purchase and pay for the purchased products.
If defective products must be returned, this will be done with the prior written permission of the Seller, in the original packaging and in the manner indicated by the Seller.
9.7 Upon request, the Buyer must enable the Seller to inspect the goods sold to verify the correctness of the complaint.
9.8 If a complaint is well-founded, the Seller will replace the delivered goods, unless this has become demonstrably pointless for the Buyer. This must be made known in writing by the Buyer. However, the Seller is in all cases only liable within the limits of the provisions of the provisions in the articles "Warranty" and "Liability".
9.9 A supposed shortcoming by the Seller does not affect the fulfilment of the payment obligations.
Article 10 - Payment
10.1 Invoices will be sent to the email address specified by the Buyer, unless indicated otherwise, which does not affect their payment obligation towards the Seller.
10.2 Payment must be made via IDEAL, direct debit or within 8 days after the invoice date in a manner to be indicated by the Seller, unless the parties have agreed otherwise. Objections to the amount of the invoices or complaints do not suspend the payment obligation.
10.3 If the Buyer fails to pay within the agreed term, the Buyer is in default by operation of law. The Buyer then owes interest of 2% per month or part thereof, unless the statutory interest or the statutory commercial interest is higher, in which case the highest interest applies.
The interest on the payable amount will be calculated from the moment that the Buyer is in default until the moment of payment of the full amount.
10.4 In the event of winding-up, (petition for) liquidation, admission of the Buyer to statutory debt restructuring pursuant to the Dutch Debt Restructuring (Natural Persons) Act [Wet Schuldsanering Natuurlijke Personen], placement under guardianship, attachment or (provisional) suspension of payment of the Buyer, the Seller's claims against the Buyer will be immediately due and payable.
10.5 Payments first serve to reduce the costs, then to reduce the accrued interest and finally to reduce the principal sum and the accrued interest.
Article 11 - Collection costs
11.1 If the Buyer fails or is in default in the (timely) fulfilment of its obligations, all reasonable costs incurred in obtaining payment out of court will be borne by the Buyer. The collection costs are calculated in accordance with the Extrajudicial Collection Costs (Standards) Act [Wet normering buitengerechtelijke incassokosten, Wik], with a minimum of €40.00.
11.2 If the Seller has incurred higher costs, which were reasonably necessary, these also qualify for reimbursement. Any reasonable judicial and enforcement costs incurred will also be borne by the Buyer.
Article 12 - Retention of title
12.1 All products delivered by the Seller remain the Seller's property until the Buyer has fulfilled all obligations under all agreements concluded with the Seller. Any packaging at all times remains the property of the Seller.
12.2 The Buyer is not authorised to pledge, rent or encumber in any other way the goods subject to retention of title, unless the parties have agreed otherwise.
12.3 If third parties attach the products delivered under retention of title or wish to establish or enforce rights thereon, the Buyer is obliged to inform the Seller of this as soon as possible.
12.4 Products delivered by the Seller that are subject to retention of title pursuant to the first paragraph of this article may only be resold by the Buyer in the context of normal business operations, but not via the Buyer's web shop, provided that the recommended consumer retail price is offered on the website, or be used as a means of payment. Due to the nature of the products, the Buyer is not permitted to export them without our prior written consent. In the event that the Seller wishes to exercise its rights of ownership referred to in this article, the Buyer gives unconditional and irrevocable permission to the Seller or third parties to be designated by it to enter all those places where the property of the Seller is located and to take back the products.

if the Buyer does not, not timely or not fully fulfil its obligations under the Agreement;
if, after conclusion of the Agreement, the Seller becomes aware of circumstances that give good grounds to fear that the Buyer will not fulfil its obligations, or will not do so on time or in full. If there is good reason to fear that the Buyer will only partially or improperly fulfil its obligations, suspension is only permitted in so far as the shortcoming justifies it;
in the event of winding-up, (petition for) liquidation, admission of the Buyer to statutory debt restructuring pursuant to the Debt Restructuring (Natural Persons) Act, placement under guardianship, attachment or (provisional) suspension of payment of the Buyer;
