3. If the Contract is to be concluded electronically, Seller shall take all appropriate technical and organisational measures for a secure electronic data transfer and shall provide a secure web environment. If the Customer is offered the opportunity of electronic payment, Seller shall observe all appropriate security measures.

4. The Seller may, within the confines of the law, make inquiries into the Customer’s ability to fulfil his payment obligations, as well as into all facts and factors relevant to responsibly entering into the Distance Contract.

Article 6 – Exclusion of the Right of Withdrawal
The only products supplied by Seller are fresh fruits which, due to their perishable nature, can spoil or decay quickly. Consequently, the Right of Withdrawal is excluded.

Article 7 – The Price
1. The prices of the offered products shall not be raised during the validity period stated in the Offer, with the exception of price changes resulting from changes in Dutch VAT rates.
2. All prices of products or services mentioned in the Offer include VAT and may not be raised after the conclusion of the Contract.

The Seller guarantees that the products and/or services comply with the Contract, with the specifications listed in the Offer, with the reasonable requirements of soundness and/or usability, and that they comply with the Dutch statutory provisions and/or Dutch government regulations effective on the date the Contract is concluded, and that they are suitable for normal use.
2. The Customer’s statutory rights and claims and his rights under the Contract with Seller shall not be affected by any guarantee scheme offered by the Seller, the manufacturer or the importer.
3. Due to the nature of the offered products, slight differences in packaging, number or weight may occur.

If the delivery is to be delayed, or if an order cannot be delivered or can only partially be delivered, the Customer will be notified within 30 days after placing the order. In this case, the Customer is entitled to terminate the Contract free of charge and has the right to claim compensation.
4. In the event of termination under the stipulations of the preceding paragraph, the Seller shall return any payment made by the Customer as soon as possible, yet within 30 days at the latest after termination.

The Right of Withdrawal does apply to replacement products. The costs of any return shipment are to be borne by the Seller.
6. Unless explicitly agreed otherwise, the risk of loss of and/or damage to products shall remain with the Seller up to the moment of delivery to the Customer, or to an appointed representative who is made known to the Seller in advance.
7. The Customer may not use trademarks and signs that are affixed or used by the Seller to distinguish himself from others.
8. The Customer may not offer the delivered products for further selling without prior approval of the Seller.
