Article 4.          Offers

• Any offers made by KAMA are without obligation, unless explicitly stated otherwise, and may be withdrawn by KAMA. KAMA explicitly reserves the right to amend the prices when a change in the VAT rate gives rise to such an amendment. When an offer changes after the conclusion of the Agreement, the Consumer is entitled to terminate the Agreement and cancel the order for a period of 10 calendar days after the announcement of the changes to the proposal made by KAMA.

• Offers do not automatically apply to repeat orders and KAMA reserves the right to amend the prices of the offers.

• For the validity of all offers, the following applies: while stocks last or the duration as stated on the Website. In case of a lapse of the validity of an offer, the offer lapses by operation of law and the Consumer can no longer make use of the offer.

• The offer includes a full and precise description of the offered Products. The description is sufficiently detailed to allow proper assessment of the offer by Consumer. Should KAMA use images, these will give a true picture of the Products on offer. However, KAMA cannot guarantee that the colours displayed on the Website exactly match the real colours of the Products. An obvious error or mistake in the offer does not bind KAMA.

Article 5.          Orders

• Consumer can place orders in the ways indicated on the Website.

• KAMA is entitled to refuse an order or attach further conditions to the Agreement provided it has proper grounds to do so. In that event, the Agreement will be either terminated or amended.

• KAMA will not accept any orders for which the home address of Consumer cannot be established and / or when the Consumer is younger than eighteen years old.

• KAMA may enquire – within the statutory parameters – about Consumer’s ability to fulfil its payment obligations, as well as about all facts and factors which could be of importance for the responsible formation of the Agreement. Should KAMA, on the basis of these enquiries, have proper grounds to refuse to enter into the Agreement, it is entitled to refuse an order or application or to attach special terms to the performance, such by citing its motivation for doing so.

Article 6.          Formation of the Agreement

Should Consumer invoke its Right of withdrawal, it shall return the Product to KAMA including all accessories that were delivered with it and in its original state and packaging.

• The Consumer carries the costs of returning the Product/the Products.
