If the consumer can make electronic payments, the entrepreneur shall take appropriate security measures for this purpose.
4. Within the legal framework, the entrepreneur may ascertain whether the consumer can meet his payment obligations, as well as all facts and factors that are relevant for a responsible conclusion of the distance agreement.

The entrepreneur guarantees that the products and/or services comply with the agreement, the specifications mentioned in the offer, the reasonable requirements of soundness and/or usability, and the legal regulations and/or government regulations existing on the date of the conclusion of the agreement.

2. Complaints about the performance of the agreement must be submitted to the entrepreneur within 2 months, fully and clearly described, after the consumer has discovered the defects.

4. If the complaint cannot be resolved through mutual agreement, a dispute arises that is subject to the dispute resolution procedure.

Check whether this webshop has an active membership at https://www.webwinkelkeur.nl/ledenlijst/. If a solution is still not reached, the consumer has the option to have the complaint handled by the independent dispute committee appointed by Webwinkelkeur. The decision of this committee is binding, and both the entrepreneur and the consumer agree to this binding decision. There are costs associated with submitting a dispute to this dispute committee, which the consumer must pay to the respective committee. It is also possible to submit complaints via the European ODR platform (http://ec.europa.eu/odr).

Article 17 – Billink Paying Afterwards

For the Netherlands:

"If you choose the payment method 'pay later with Billink,' you must pay the amount to Billink B.V. ('Billink') within the specified payment term. All rights arising from the claim will be transferred to Billink at the time of the order, which will handle the collection of the invoice. Your data will be checked and registered by or on behalf of Billink in its system. These data may be used, among other things, for the collection of outstanding claims, for legitimate marketing purposes under the General Data Protection Regulation, data verification, and the assessment of orders in the execution of the acceptance policy of other organizations and/or webshops affiliated with Billink. Billink reserves the right to refuse your request to use pay-later, possibly with a reason. The payment term applied is a strict deadline. In the event of non-timely payment, the customer is in default without notice, and Billink is entitled to charge monthly statutory (commercial) interest (with part of a month being considered a whole month) from the due date of the invoice. Billink is also entitled to charge extrajudicial collection costs under the Decree on Compensation for Extrajudicial Collection Costs (BIK) to the customer. In the case of business customers, Billink is also entitled to charge reminder and collection costs to the customer, without prejudice to Billink's right to charge the actual costs incurred by the customer if these exceed the amount calculated accordingly. These costs are a minimum of 15% of the principal amount, with a minimum of 40 euros for consumers and 75 euros for businesses. Billink is also entitled to transfer the claim to a third party. What is determined regarding Billink in the foregoing also applies in that case to the third party to whom the claim has been transferred.

For Belgium:

Non-payment of the invoice on the due date leads to the initiation of internal and external reminder procedures. By operation of law and without notice, an administrative fee of €12.50 per internal reminder sent by Billink will be charged. As soon as Billink is obliged to transfer the claim to a specialized collection agency due to persistent non-payment, the claim will also be increased with a lump-sum penalty clause, due to non-payment, of 20% with a minimum of €10, as well as default interest at a rate of 12% per annum, calculated on the amount of the invoice from the date of sending the invoice. The costs associated with this transfer of the file and the fee for the collection of the amounts due are estimated at a lump sum of €35.00 and remain entirely at your expense, without prejudice to the costs for internal reminders, lump-sum penalty clause, and default interest described above. The courts of the judicial district of Antwerp have exclusive jurisdiction to settle disputes concerning payment or the execution of our deliveries.
