Article 3 – Applicability

These general terms and conditions apply to every offer from Shop4vibes and to every distance contract concluded between Shop4vibes and the counterparty.

Before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions will be made available to the counterparty. If this is not reasonably possible, Shop4vibes will indicate, before the distance contract is concluded, how the general terms and conditions can be inspected at Shop4vibes and that they will be sent free of charge to the counterparty upon request as soon as possible.

If the distance contract is concluded electronically, contrary to the previous paragraph and before the distance contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions may be made available to the counterparty electronically in such a way that they can be easily stored by the counterparty on a durable medium. If this is not reasonably possible, it will be indicated before the distance contract is concluded where the general terms and conditions can be consulted electronically and that they will be sent free of charge to the counterparty upon request electronically or otherwise.

In case specific product or service conditions also apply in addition to these general terms and conditions, the second and third paragraphs apply correspondingly and in case of conflicting conditions, the counterparty can always invoke the applicable provision that is most favorable to them.

If one or more provisions in these general terms and conditions become wholly or partially void or are annulled at any time, the agreement and these conditions remain in force for the rest and the relevant provision will be replaced immediately by mutual agreement with a provision that approaches the intent of the original as closely as possible.

Situations not regulated in these general terms and conditions should be assessed 'in the spirit' of these general terms and conditions.

Ambiguities about the interpretation or content of one or more provisions of our conditions should be interpreted 'in the spirit' of these general terms and conditions.

Article 4 – The offer

If an offer has a limited validity period or is made subject to conditions, this will be explicitly stated in the offer.

The offer is non-binding. Shop4vibes is entitled to change and adapt the offer.

Every offer contains such information that it is clear to the counterparty what rights and obligations are connected to the acceptance of the offer. This concerns in particular:

the price including taxes;
any shipping costs;
the manner in which the agreement will be concluded and which actions are necessary for this;
whether or not the right of withdrawal applies;
the method of payment, delivery and performance of the agreement;
the period for acceptance of the offer, or the period within which Shop4vibes guarantees the price;

When Shop4vibes uses images, these are a truthful representation of the offered products and/or services. Obvious mistakes or obvious errors in the offer do not bind Shop4vibes.

All images, specifications, data in the offer are indicative and cannot give rise to compensation or dissolution of the agreement.

Images with products are a truthful representation of the offered products. Shop4vibes cannot guarantee that the displayed colors exactly match the real colors of the products. The textures also differ per product and Shop4vibes is not responsible for these differences. Shop4vibes has no obligation to the counterparty to exactly meet the handmade product of the shown image because these are indications of unique jewelry. In all reasonableness, it can be agreed whether the product meets the shown indication. If a product is found to be visually disadvantageous by both the counterparty and Shop4vibes, Shop4vibes will, at its choice, either replace or repair the delivered products free of charge. At all times, the right of withdrawal lapses for handmade or personalized products.

Article 5 – The agreement

The agreement is concluded, subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, at the moment of acceptance by the counterparty of the offer and meeting the conditions set forth therein.

If the counterparty has accepted the offer electronically, Shop4vibes will immediately confirm electronically the receipt of the acceptance of the offer. As long as the receipt of this acceptance has not been confirmed by Shop4vibes, the counterparty can dissolve the agreement.

If the agreement is concluded electronically, Shop4vibes takes appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure the electronic transmission of data and ensures a secure web environment. If the counterparty can pay electronically, Shop4vibes will observe appropriate security measures for this purpose.

Shop4vibes may, within legal frameworks, inform itself whether the counterparty can meet his payment obligations as well as all those facts and factors that are important for responsibly entering into the distance contract. If Shop4vibes has good grounds not to enter into the agreement based on this investigation, he is entitled to refuse an order or application with reasons or to attach special conditions to the performance.

Shop4vibes will, at the latest upon delivery of the product, service or digital content to the counterparty, provide the following information, in writing or in such a way that it can be stored by the counterparty in an accessible manner on a durable medium:

The way in which the counterparty can contact Shop4vibes with complaints;
The conditions under which and the way in which the counterparty can exercise the right of withdrawal, or a clear notification regarding the exclusion of the right of withdrawal;
Information about warranties and existing after-purchase service;
The price including all taxes of the product, service or digital content; where applicable, the delivery costs; and the method of payment, delivery or performance of the distance contract, unless Shop4vibes has already provided this data to the counterparty before or during the performance of the agreement;
The requirements for termination of the agreement if the agreement has a duration of more than one year or is of indefinite duration;

In case of a continuing transaction, the provision in the previous paragraph only applies to the first delivery.

Every agreement is entered into under the suspensive condition of sufficient availability of the relevant products.

Article 6 – Right of withdrawal

This provision only applies to the counterparty in the capacity of consumer.

When purchasing products, the counterparty has the possibility to dissolve the agreement without giving reasons within 14 days. This cooling-off period starts the day after receipt of the product by the counterparty or a representative designated in advance by the counterparty and made known to Shop4vibes.

During the cooling-off period, the counterparty will handle the product and packaging with care. He will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to be able to assess whether he wishes to keep the product. If he exercises his right of withdrawal, he will return the product with all delivered accessories and in the original condition and packaging to Shop4vibes, in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by Shop4vibes.

When the counterparty wishes to exercise his right of withdrawal, he is obliged to make this known to Shop4vibes within 14 days after receipt of the product. The counterparty must make this known in writing or in another unambiguous manner to Shop4vibes.

After the counterparty has made known that he wishes to exercise his right of withdrawal, the counterparty must return the product within 14 days. The counterparty must prove that the delivered goods have been returned in time, for example by means of proof of shipment.

If the counterparty has not made known that he wishes to exercise his right of withdrawal after the expiry of the periods mentioned in paragraphs 2 and 3, or has not returned the product to Shop4vibes (in time), the purchase is a fact.

Article 7 – Obligations of the counterparty during the cooling-off period

During the cooling-off period, the counterparty will handle the product and packaging with care. He will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to determine the nature, characteristics and functioning of the product. The starting point here is that the counterparty may only handle and inspect the product as he would be allowed to do in a store.

The counterparty is only liable for depreciation of the product that is the result of handling the product in a way that goes beyond what is permitted in paragraph 1.

Article 8 – Costs in case of withdrawal

If the counterparty exercises his right of withdrawal, the costs of return shipment will be at most at his expense.

When entering into an agreement with the counterparty, Shop4vibes starts the process to order the silver or gold holder of the jewelry. If the counterparty exercises his right of withdrawal, these costs and the costs to process the payment will be at the expense of the counterparty. These costs are calculated as being 20% of the total amount of the order or agreement.

If the counterparty has paid an amount, Shop4vibes will refund this amount as soon as possible, but at the latest within 14 days after withdrawal. However, the condition is that the product has already been received back by Shop4vibes or conclusive proof of complete return can be provided.

Article 9 – Exclusion of right of withdrawal

Shop4vibes excludes the counterparty's right of withdrawal for products that are clearly personal in nature, or that by their nature cannot be returned, or that are manufactured based on an individual choice or decision of the counterparty, or that are clearly intended for a specific person. The exclusion of the right of withdrawal only applies if the counterparty has been informed of this provision, at least before concluding the agreement and at least by accepting these conditions.

Article 10 – The price

During the validity period stated in the offer, the prices of the offered products and/or services will not be increased, except for price changes as a result of changes in VAT rates.

Contrary to the previous paragraph, Shop4vibes can offer products or services whose prices are tied to fluctuations in the financial market and over which Shop4vibes has no influence, with variable prices. This tie to fluctuations and the fact that any mentioned prices are guide prices are stated in the offer.

Shop4vibes charges a surcharge on gold ring sizes above size 20.

Price increases within 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if they are the result of legal regulations or provisions.

Price increases from 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if Shop4vibes has stipulated this and:

These are the result of legal regulations or provisions; or
The counterparty has the authority to terminate the agreement with effect from the day on which the price increase takes effect.

The prices mentioned in the offer of products or services intended for the counterparty are inclusive of VAT.

All prices are subject to printing and typographical errors. No liability is accepted for the consequences of printing and typographical errors. In case of printing and typographical errors, Shop4vibes is not obliged to deliver the product according to the incorrect price.

Article 11 – Conformity and Warranty

A warranty provided by Shop4vibes does not detract from the legal rights and claims that the counterparty can assert against Shop4vibes under the agreement.

Any defects or incorrectly delivered products must be reported to Shop4vibes in writing within 7 days after delivery. Return of the products must be done in the original packaging and in new condition.

Shop4vibes' warranty period corresponds to the factory warranty period and is 6 months, unless the nature of the product dictates otherwise.

However, Shop4vibes is never responsible for the ultimate suitability of the products for any individual application by the counterparty, nor for any advice regarding the use or application of the products.

The warranty does not apply if:

The counterparty has repaired and/or processed the delivered products himself or had them repaired and/or processed by third parties;
The delivered products have been exposed to abnormal conditions or are otherwise treated carelessly or have been treated contrary to Shop4vibes' instructions and/or on the packaging;
The defectiveness is wholly or partially the result of regulations that the government has imposed or will impose regarding the nature or quality of the applied materials.

Shop4vibes has the right to charge costs for repair of products that have become unbearable and unsuitable due to incompetent handling.

If the counterparty makes use of the possibility to have the products repaired or changed, the costs of return shipment are at his expense.

When the warranty period has expired, all costs for any repair or replacement, including administration, shipping, and travel costs, are at the expense of the counterparty.

The warranty does not cover minor deviations in color, type and/or text changes. The offered products are depicted as clearly and truthfully as possible and described as clearly as possible.

Any form of warranty expires if a defect has arisen as a result of incompetent use or lack of care, or if it is a result of changes that others than Shop4vibes have made to the delivered product. Shop4vibes is also not liable for any damage that may arise as a result of these defects. The warranty also expires if the defect has arisen from or is the result of circumstances over which Shop4vibes cannot exert influence.

Article 12 – Delivery and performance

Shop4vibes will exercise the greatest possible care in receiving and executing orders for products and in assessing applications for the provision of services.

The place of delivery is the address that the counterparty has made known to Shop4vibes.

Taking into account what is stated about this in Article 11, paragraph 4, Shop4vibes will execute accepted orders with due speed but at the latest within 30 days, unless the counterparty has agreed to a longer delivery period. If delivery is delayed, or if an order cannot be executed or can only be partially executed, the counterparty will receive notification of this at the latest 30 days after placing the order. In that case, the counterparty has the right to dissolve the agreement without costs. The counterparty has no right to compensation.

For the delivery of personalized products or (partly) handmade products, a delivery period of 12 weeks applies, starting from the moment that Shop4vibes receives the necessary or requested components from the counterparty. All delivery periods are indicative. The counterparty cannot derive rights from any mentioned periods. Exceeding a period does not give the counterparty the right to compensation.

In case of dissolution in accordance with paragraph 3 of this article, Shop4vibes will refund the amount that the counterparty has paid as soon as possible, but at the latest within 14 days after dissolution.

The risk of damage and/or loss of products rests with Shop4vibes until the moment of delivery to the counterparty or a representative designated in advance and made known to Shop4vibes, unless expressly agreed otherwise.

Delivery with respect to the counterparty in the capacity of company takes place by making the product available to the Company. After delivery, the risk of the product transfers to the Company. Delivery takes place at the address specified by the Company.

Upon delivery with respect to the counterparty in the capacity of company, the counterparty is obliged to take delivery of the purchased goods at the moment they are made available to him or are handed to him. If the counterparty refuses to take delivery of the product at the place of delivery or is negligent in providing data or instructions necessary for delivery, the goods intended for delivery will be stored at the risk and expense of the counterparty. In that case, the counterparty will owe all additional costs.

Article 13 – Payment

Unless otherwise agreed, the amounts owed by the counterparty must be paid in the capacity of company within 7 working days after the start of the cooling-off period, or within 14 days after concluding the agreement and in the capacity of consumer when placing the order. In case of an agreement to provide a service, this period starts the day after the counterparty has received confirmation of the agreement.

The counterparty has the duty to immediately report inaccuracies in provided or stated payment data to Shop4vibes.

If the counterparty does not meet his payment obligation(s) in time, Shop4vibes has, after the counterparty has been pointed out by Shop4vibes about the late payment, subject to legal limitations, the right to charge the reasonable costs made known in advance.

If payment in installments has been agreed in the capacity of company, the counterparty must pay according to the terms and percentages as established in the agreement. The counterparty is not authorized to deduct any amount from the amount owed due to a counterclaim he has made. Objections to the amount of the invoice do not suspend the payment obligation. In case of bankruptcy, suspension of payments or guardianship, Shop4vibes' claims and the Company's obligations towards Shop4vibes become immediately payable.

Article 14 – Gift voucher

A gift voucher can only be spent at Shop4vibes. Shipping costs are at one's own expense and cannot be paid with the gift voucher. The counterparty must carefully keep a gift voucher. No compensation takes place in case of theft or loss.

A gift voucher is valid after issuance for the duration stated on the gift voucher but for a maximum of 1 year after receipt by the counterparty. Gift vouchers cannot be returned or exchanged for money.

Article 15 – Shipping

For deliveries or orders within the Netherlands with letterbox post shipping method are at the risk of the counterparty. Shop4vibes is not responsible for the loss or any defects to this package as a result of this chosen shipping method after offering this package to the postal company.

For deliveries or orders within the Netherlands with letterbox package or parcel post with Track and Trace shipping method, are sent at the sender's risk. The loss or damage caused during shipping with the postal company are at the sender's risk. The jewelry will, if agreed with Shop4vibes and compensated by the postal company to Shop4vibes, be repaired or remade. The same delivery period established within these general terms and conditions applies.

For deliveries or orders within the rest of Europe and worldwide, these shipping costs (and possible methods) are stated during the ordering process. If letterbox post is chosen within Europe (excluding delivery within the Netherlands), the risk for arrival or damage of the package is entirely at the risk of the counterparty.

Article 16 – Risk transfer consumers

This provision only applies to the counterparty in the capacity of consumer.

The goods that are the subject of the agreement are at the expense and risk of Shop4vibes until the moment of bringing the goods into the power of the counterparty.

The risk of loss, damage or depreciation of goods that are the subject of the agreement transfers to the counterparty at the moment when goods are brought into the power of the counterparty in the capacity of consumer or a third party to be designated by the counterparty.

Article 17 – Risk transfer companies

This article only applies to the counterparty in the capacity of company.

The goods that are the subject of the agreement are at the expense and risk of Shop4vibes until the moment of making the goods available to the counterparty.

The risk of loss, damage or depreciation of goods that are the subject of the agreement transfers to the counterparty at the moment when goods are made available to the counterparty or a third party to be designated by the counterparty.

Article 18 – Retention of title

All products delivered by Shop4vibes within the framework of the agreement remain the property of Shop4vibes until the counterparty has properly fulfilled and completely satisfied what he owes under the agreement. What is owed also includes: compensation for all costs and interest, also from earlier and later deliveries and services performed, as well as damage claims due to shortcomings in performance.

As long as ownership of the delivered goods has not transferred to the counterparty, the counterparty may not resell, pledge or otherwise encumber what falls under the retention of title, except within the normal exercise of his/her business.

Article 19 – Suspension

If the counterparty does not, not completely or not timely fulfill an obligation under the agreement, Shop4vibes has the right to suspend the performance of the corresponding obligation. In case of partial or improper performance, suspension is only permitted insofar as the shortcoming justifies it.

Furthermore, Shop4vibes is authorized to suspend the performance of the obligations if:

After concluding the agreement, circumstances have come to Shop4vibes' knowledge that give good reason to fear that the counterparty will not fulfill the obligations;
When concluding the agreement, the counterparty was requested to provide security for the fulfillment of his obligations under the agreement and this security is not forthcoming or is insufficient;
Circumstances arise that are of such a nature that performance of the agreement is impossible or that unchanged maintenance of the agreement cannot reasonably be required from Shop4vibes.

Shop4vibes reserves the right to claim compensation.

Article 20 – Dissolution

If the counterparty does not, not completely, not timely or not properly fulfill an obligation under the agreement, Shop4vibes is authorized to dissolve the agreement with immediate effect, unless the shortcoming does not justify dissolution given its minor significance.

Furthermore, Shop4vibes is authorized to dissolve the agreement with immediate effect if:

After concluding the agreement, circumstances have come to Shop4vibes' knowledge that give good reason to fear that the counterparty will not fulfill the obligations;
When concluding the agreement, the counterparty was requested to provide security for the fulfillment of his obligations under the agreement and this security is not forthcoming or is insufficient;
Due to delay on the side of the counterparty, it can no longer be required from Shop4vibes that they will fulfill the agreement under the originally agreed conditions;
Circumstances arise that are of such a nature that performance of the agreement is impossible or that unchanged maintenance of the agreement cannot reasonably be required from Shop4vibes;
The counterparty is declared bankrupt, applies for suspension of payments, requests application of debt restructuring for natural persons, is confronted with an attachment on all or part of his property;
The counterparty is placed under guardianship;
The counterparty dies.

Dissolution takes place by means of written or digital notification without judicial intervention.

If the agreement is dissolved, Shop4vibes' claims on the counterparty become immediately payable.

If Shop4vibes dissolves the agreement on the basis of the foregoing grounds, Shop4vibes is not liable for any costs or compensation.

If the dissolution is attributable to the counterparty, the counterparty is liable for the damage suffered by Shop4vibes.

Article 21 – Force majeure

A shortcoming cannot be attributed to Shop4vibes or the counterparty, since the shortcoming is not due to his fault, nor under law, legal act or generally accepted views is for his account. In this case, the parties are also not obliged to fulfill the obligations arising from the agreement.

Force majeure in these general terms and conditions means, in addition to what is understood in that area in law and jurisprudence, all external causes, foreseen or unforeseen, over which Shop4vibes cannot exert influence and as a result of which Shop4vibes is unable to fulfill the obligations.

Circumstances constituting force majeure include: strike, lockout, fire, water damage, natural disasters or other external calamities, mobilization, war, traffic obstacles, blockades, import or export obstacles or other government measures, stagnation or delay in the supply of raw materials or machine parts, shortage of labor, as well as any circumstances that hinder the normal course of business as a result of which the performance of the agreement by Shop4vibes cannot reasonably be required from the counterparty.

Shop4vibes also has the right to invoke force majeure if the circumstance that prevents (further) performance of the agreement occurs after Shop4vibes should have fulfilled his obligation.

In case of force majeure, the parties are not obliged to continue the agreement, nor liable for any compensation.

Both Shop4vibes and the counterparty can suspend the obligations under the agreement wholly or partially during the period that the force majeure continues. If this period lasts longer than 2 months, both parties are entitled to dissolve the agreement with immediate effect, by means of written notification, without judicial intervention, without the parties being able to claim any compensation.

If the force majeure situation is temporary, Shop4vibes reserves the right to suspend the agreed performance for the duration of the force majeure situation. In case of permanent force majeure, both parties are entitled to dissolve the agreement extrajudicially.

If Shop4vibes has already partially fulfilled his obligations under the agreement at the time of the occurrence of force majeure or will be able to fulfill them, and independent value can be attributed to the fulfilled or to be fulfilled part respectively, Shop4vibes is entitled to invoice the already fulfilled or to be fulfilled part separately. The counterparty is obliged to pay this invoice as if there were a separate agreement.

Article 22 – Complaints procedure

Shop4vibes cares about its products and does its best to deliver them to the counterparty in top condition. However, should a product break during transport, the counterparty can claim warranty, taking into account Article 11.

Complaints about the performance of the agreement must be submitted to Shop4vibes within 7 days, fully and clearly described, after the counterparty has discovered the defects.

Complaints submitted to Shop4vibes will be answered within a period of 14 days from the date of receipt. If a complaint requires a foreseeable longer processing time, Shop4vibes will respond within the 14-day period with an acknowledgment of receipt and an indication when the counterparty can expect a more detailed answer.

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

From February 15, 2016, it is possible for counterparties in the European Union to report complaints via the European Commission's ODR platform at http://ec.europa.eu/odr provided the complaint is not already being handled elsewhere.

If a complaint is found to be justified by Shop4vibes, Shop4vibes will, at its choice, either replace or repair the delivered products free of charge.

Article 23 – Liability

Shop4vibes is only liable for direct damage that has arisen due to gross negligence or intent of Shop4vibes.

Shop4vibes is never liable for indirect damage, including in any case consequential damage, lost profit, missed savings, business stagnation or immaterial damage of the counterparty. In case of consumer purchase, this limitation does not extend further than permitted under Article 7:24 paragraph 2 of the Civil Code.

Shop4vibes is not liable for damage, of whatever nature, because Shop4vibes has assumed incorrect and/or incomplete data provided by the counterparty, unless this incorrectness or incompleteness should have been known to Shop4vibes.

Shop4vibes is not liable for mutilation, destruction, theft or loss of data or documents.

If Shop4vibes should be liable for any damage, then Shop4vibes' liability is limited to a maximum of €5,000 or to the amount to which the insurance contracted by Shop4vibes gives entitlement, increased by the deductible that Shop4vibes bears in accordance with the insurance.

The counterparty must report damage for which Shop4vibes can be held liable as soon as possible, but in any case within 10 days after the damage occurred, in writing to Shop4vibes, all this on penalty of forfeiture of any right to compensation for this damage.

Any liability claim against Shop4vibes expires within one year after the counterparty became aware of the damaging fact or could reasonably have been aware of it.

Article 24 – Indemnification

The counterparty indemnifies Shop4vibes against any claims by third parties who suffer damage in connection with the performance of the agreement and which is attributable to the counterparty.

If Shop4vibes should be addressed by third parties, the counterparty is obliged to assist Shop4vibes both outside and in court. All costs and damage on the side of Shop4vibes and third parties are further at the expense and risk of the counterparty.

Article 25 – Limitation period

For all claims against Shop4vibes and the third parties (possibly) engaged by Shop4vibes, a limitation period of one year applies, deviating from the statutory limitation periods.

The foregoing does not apply to claims that are based on the delivered goods not corresponding to the agreement. In this case, the claims become time-barred by the lapse of two years after the counterparty has informed Shop4vibes about the defect of the delivered products.

Article 26 – Intellectual property

The designs, drawings, calculations, descriptions, models and other delivered and eligible performances manufactured or provided by Shop4vibes remain the intellectual property of Shop4vibes. Reproduction or disclosure of the aforementioned goods and/or Products, without prior permission from Shop4vibes, is not permitted.

Article 27 – Amendment of general terms and conditions

Shop4vibes has the right to unilaterally amend these general terms and conditions. Changes will also apply to already concluded agreements. Shop4vibes will notify the counterparty electronically of the changes. The changes to the general terms and conditions will take effect thirty days after the counterparty has been notified of the changes. If the counterparty does not agree with the announced changes, the counterparty has the right to dissolve the agreement.

Article 28 – Additional or deviating provisions

Additional or deviating provisions from these general terms and conditions may not be to the detriment of the counterparty and must be recorded in writing or in such a way that they can be stored by the counterparty in an accessible manner on a durable medium.

Article 29 – Applicable law and disputes

Dutch law exclusively applies to all legal relationships in which Shop4vibes is a party. This also applies if an obligation is wholly or partially performed abroad or if the counterparty has his residence abroad.

The applicability of the Vienna Sales Convention is excluded.

Article 30 – Location

These General Terms and Conditions were established on 01-06-2020 and deposited with the Chamber of Commerce.
