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.

 

6.3             If the Buyer refuses to take delivery or is negligent in providing the information or instructions necessary for the delivery, the Seller is entitled to store the products at the expense and risk of the Buyer.

 

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.

 

6.6             If the Seller requires information from the Buyer in the context of execution of the Agreement, the delivery time commences after the Buyer has made this information available to the Seller.

 

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

 

6.8             The Seller is entitled to determine that certain products can only be delivered upon purchase of a minimum quantity determined by the Seller.

 

Article 7 – Right of withdrawal for remote purchase 

7.1             When purchasing products via the web shop, the consumer has the option, for a period of 14 days, to terminate the Agreement without stating any reasons therefor. 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. We are available by email: info@cellcarehealthgroup.nl and by phone T: 0031 (0)33  2095400) of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or e-mail).  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. 

 

Article 8 - Costs in case of withdrawal for remote purchase

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.

 

8.2             If the consumer has paid any amount, the Seller will refund this amount as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days after the return or cancellation.

 

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.

 

9.2             If a sample has been shown to the Buyer, it is presumed to have been shown only as an indication without the item needing to correspond to it, unless it is expressly agreed that the item will correspond thereto. 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.

 

Article 13 – Online resale, discount

13.1           A healthcare professional may only receive a discount if they have registered via a contact form and have been accepted.

 

13.2           Resale online, via websites and web shops, etc., is permitted, provided that the recommended consumer retail price is used.

 

13.3           Resale is only possible in the context of normal business operations as a healthcare professional.

13.5           If these points are not met, an immediately claimable fine of €50,000 will be due for each violation of this Agreement and for each day that the violation continues.

 

Article 14 - Warranty

Article 15 - Suspension and termination

15.1           The Seller is authorised to suspend the fulfilment of its obligations or to terminate the agreement:

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;
if the Buyer was asked to provide security for the fulfilment of its obligations under the Agreement when the Agreement was concluded and this security is not provided or is insufficient. As soon as security has been provided, the right to suspend will expire, unless fulfilment was unreasonably delayed as a result.
 

15.2           Furthermore, the Seller is authorised to terminate the Agreement (or have it terminated) if circumstances arise of such a nature that fulfilment of the Agreement is impossible or can no longer be required according to standards of reasonableness and fairness, or if other circumstances arise of such a nature that unaltered maintenance of the Agreement cannot reasonably be expected.

 

15.3           If the Agreement is terminated, the Seller's claims against the Buyer will be immediately due and payable. If the Seller suspends fulfilment of its obligations, it retains its claims under the law and the Agreement.

the reasonable costs for determining the cause and extent of the damage, in so far as the determination relates to damage within the meaning of these Terms and Conditions;
any reasonable costs incurred to have the Seller's defective performance comply with the Agreement, unless these cannot be attributed to the Seller;

18.2           In these General Terms and Conditions, force majeure is understood to mean, in addition to what is understood in this regard by law and case law, all external causes, foreseen or unforeseen, over which the Seller cannot exert any influence, such as traffic jams, power/computer failures, export restrictions, accidents, theft, fire, pandemic, illness of its staff and stagnation in delivery by suppliers, but as a result of which the Seller is unable to fulfil its obligations, in time or otherwise. This includes strikes at the Seller's company and government measures.
