2.1 All offers and quotations made by Oooms are free of obligation and Oooms retains the express right to change the prices, in particular when this is required on the basis of (statutory) regulations. See article 3.7.
2.2 An agreement only comes into effect after written acceptance by Oooms of the client’s order. Oooms is entitled to refuse orders or attach certain conditions to the delivery, unless explicitly stipulated otherwise. If an order is not accepted, this will be communicated by Oooms within seven (7) working days of receiving the order.

2.4 The colours, materials, sizes and finish of all information, models and images are only intended as an indication. Minor deviations from this cannot be grounds for rejection, a discount, compensation or annulment of the agreement.
Article 3. Prices and payments
3.1 The prices specified for the offered goods are in euros (€), inclusive of VAT and exclusive of administration and shipment costs and any applicable taxes or other levies, unless specified otherwise or agreed in writing.
3.2 All first deliveries in the Netherlands and all deliveries outside of the Netherlands must be paid in advance without discount or compensation, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Deliveries subject to prepayment will qualify for shipment only after the full outstanding amount has been credited to the giro or bank account of Oooms.
3.3 In the case of a subsequent delivery within the Netherlands, payment must be made without discount or compensation within fourteen (14) days of the invoice date, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
3.4 Payment can be made in (one of) the way(s) as specified during the ordering process. Additional conditions in respect of payment and/or the order can be specified for an order. In the case of payment by bank or giro, the applicable date of payment is the date of the credit entry in the Oooms giro or bank account.
3.5 If the term of payment is exceeded, the client is in default from the date the payment should have been made and will be obliged to pay interest for overdue payment of one percent (1%) per month or part of a month over the outstanding amount. If payment is made after a demand for payment has been made by Oooms, the client must pay an amount of twenty five euros (€ 25) for administration costs and if Oooms has contracted out the payment collection, the client must also pay the collection charges, which will be a minimum of fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding amount, however this does not prejudice the right of Oooms to instead collect the actual extrajudicial collection costs.
3.6 If the client defaults on any payment, Oooms is entitled to suspend or cancel the (execution of) the relevant agreement and any other associated agreements.
3.7 If the prices of the offered products and services increase during the period between the order and its execution, the client is entitled to cancel the order or dissolve the agreement within five (5) working days of being notified by Oooms of the price increase.
Article 4. Delivery and receipt
4.1 The delivery times specified by Oooms are only intended as an indication. Exceedance of a delivery time does not entitle the client to compensation, cancel the order or dissolve the agreement, unless the delivery time has been exceeded to the extent that it is no longer reasonable for the client be expected to maintain the agreement. The client is then entitled to cancel the order or dissolve the agreement, if necessary.
4.2 Oooms is entitled to deliver the ordered products in consignments and to invoice the delivered products separately.
4.3 The delivery of the products takes place at the location and time at which the products are ready for shipment to the client, irrespective of any agreement between Oooms and the client regarding the transport and, if applicable, insurance.
4.4 The client is obliged to inspect the products on delivery to determine whether they conform to the agreement. If the packaging is missing or damaged, the client must open the packaging in the presence of the conveyor and inspect the goods for damage and the client must document any damage on the delivery note. If damage is identified that is the result of defective packaging, the client can refuse the product and return it to the conveyor. The client must provide written reasoned notification to Oooms of any (transport) damage or other deficiencies as quickly as possible and certainly within two (2) working days of delivery, or after detection could reasonably be expected.
4.5 If the client in cases other that those referred to in the previous paragraph should refuse a delivery, Oooms can charge the resulting costs to the client. In this case Oooms is entitled to dissolve the agreement, without prejudice to their right to claim full compensation.
Article 5. Complaints and returns
5.1 A complaint is unfounded if the product has not been used in accordance with the directions for use, the product has been used improperly, has not been used in accordance with its designated use or the defect has occurred as a result of carelessness of the client.
5.2 Products that are the subject of a complaint may only be returned by the client to Oooms after prior written permission from Oooms or after notification from Oooms that they wish the goods to be returned. Oooms is entitled to issue instructions regarding the method of shipment.

In no case is Oooms responsible or can be held responsible for loss or damage during the return transport.
5.5 If Oooms repairs or replaces faulty goods after a well-founded complaint, Oooms is deemed to have delivered in time even if this results in the exceedance of a deadline specified by the client.
Article 6. Retention of title

Article 7. Intellectual and industrial property rights
The client must respect completely and unconditionally the intellectual and industrial property rights attached to the products supplied by Oooms.

9.2 Force majeure is understood to mean every shortcoming that cannot be attributed to Oooms, because no blame for the shortcoming is attributable to them and pursuant to the law, legal act or generally accepted practice they are not responsible for the shortcoming.
9.3 To the extent that Oooms had already fulfilled, or will still fulfil, part of their commitments ensuing from the agreement at the time of the force majeure, Oooms is entitled to invoice the part that has been or will be fulfilled. In this case, the client is obliged to pay this invoice as though it were a separate agreement.
Article 10. Communication
Unless there is demonstrable intent or gross negligence on the part of Oooms, Oooms is not liable for mistaken, corrupted, delayed or the improper transferral of orders or notifications as a consequence of the use of internet or any other form of communication between the client and Oooms, or between Oooms and third parties, to the extent they are related to the relationship between the client and Oooms.
