Article 3. General provisions
- These general terms and conditions apply to all offers and all (legal) acts of FAMBZ and to all Agreements concluded between FAMBZ and the Other Party.
- If the Agreement is concluded electronically, then, contrary to the previous paragraph, and before the Agreement is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions will be made available to the Other Party electronically in such a way that it can be easily stored by the Other Party on a durable data carrier. If this is not reasonably possible, then before the Agreement is concluded, it will be indicated where the general terms and conditions can be consulted electronically and that, at the request of the Other Party, they will be sent electronically or otherwise free of charge.
- Unless expressly agreed upon otherwise In Writing, the applicability of other general conditions is excluded.
- Deviations from or additions to these general terms and conditions shall only be valid if expressly agreed upon In Writing.
- If and insofar as no appeal can be made to any provision of these general terms and conditions on the grounds of reasonableness and fairness or its unreasonably onerous nature, the provision in question will in any case be accorded a meaning corresponding as closely as possible to its content and purport, so that an appeal can be made to it.
- FAMBZ cannot guarantee that the work it carries out will always achieve the result desired by the Other Party. The Agreement leads to an effort commitment and not to a result commitment.
- FAMBZ is entitled to engage Third Parties for the execution of the Agreement.
- FAMBZ is an authorized European retailer of massage products. FAMBZ has all the necessary certificates proving that FAMBZ sells safe products. Questions about this can be sent to support@fambz.nl.
Article 4. The offer
- If an offer has a limited period of validity or is made subject to conditions, then this will be explicitly stated in the offer.
- The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the Products offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to allow a proper assessment of the offer by the Other Party. If FAMBZ uses images, these are a true reflection of the Products offered. Obvious errors or mistakes concerning, for example, the amounts displayed are not binding on FAMBZ.
Article 5. The Agreement
- The Agreement is concluded at the moment the Other Party accepts the offer and fulfills the conditions, if any, laid down in that offer.
- If any provision of these general terms and conditions or an Agreement proves to be invalid or is voided, then this shall not affect the validity of the general terms and conditions or the Agreement as a whole. The parties shall consult together in order to agree upon a new provision to replace the void or voided provision, taking into account, as far as possible, the objective and purport of the void or voided provision.
- FAMBZ reserves the right not to execute an agreement, for example if it has reasonable doubt or information that the Other Party will not (be able to) meet its (financial) obligations. If FAMBZ refuses to execute, it will inform the Other Party in Writing of this refusal within a reasonable time after entering into the agreement.
- These general conditions also apply to future, additional and/or follow-up assignments.
- Agreed upon delivery dates are always indicative. The delivery periods are not final deadlines. Exceeding a period therefore does not give the Other Party a right to any sorts of compensation.
- If the Other Party has accepted the offer electronically, FAMBZ will immediately confirm receipt of acceptance of the offer electronically.
Article 6. Right of withdrawal
- The Other Party or a Consumer may dissolve a remote Agreement or an Agreement concluded outside the sales space without giving reasons until a period of 45 (forty-five) days has passed, after:

- In case of a Consumer purchase: the day on which the Consumer or a third party appointed by the Consumer, who is not the carrier, has received the goods.
- Consumers must return the Product in a sealed package, otherwise the right of withdrawal is excluded under article 6:230p sub f under 3 of the Dutch Civil Code.

Article 7. Extension of the right of withdrawal for Products in the absence of information on the right of withdrawal.

Article 8. Exercise of the right of withdrawal
- Other party returns the Product with all accessories, if reasonably possible in original condition and packaging, and according to the reasonable and clear instructions provided by FAMBZ.
- The risk and the burden of proof for the correct and timely exercise of the right of withdrawal lies with the Other Party.

- Not limited is the liability of FAMBZ for damage caused by intent or gross negligence of FAMBZ.In case the Other Party is acting in the course of a profession or business:
- FAMBZ is not liable for indirect and direct damages. Not excluded is the liability of FAMBZ for damages resulting from intent or gross negligence of FAMBZ.
- If FAMBZ is nevertheless liable for direct damage, FAMBZ's total liability will be limited to compensation for damage up to the amount of the fee (excluding VAT) stipulated for the agreement.

- Reasonable costs that the Other Party would have to make to make the performance of FAMBZ to meet the agreement; however, this replacement damage will not be compensated if the Agreement is dissolved by or at the suit of the Other Party;
- Reasonable costs incurred in determining the cause and extent of the damage insofar as the determination relates to damage within the meaning of these terms and conditions;

- The Other Party must give FAMBZ at least 4 (four) weeks to resolve the complaint in mutual consultation.

- The ownership of all goods sold and delivered by FAMBZ to the Other Party will remain with FAMBZ as long as the Other Party has not paid the claims arising from the agreement or previous or subsequent similar agreements, as long as the Other Party has not paid the work performed or to be performed under these or similar agreements and as long as the Other Party has not paid the claims of FAMBZ due to failure in the fulfillment of such obligations, including claims relating to fines, interest and costs, all this as referred to in article 3:92 of the Dutch Civil Code.

- FAMBZ is entitled, without prior notice, to put its services (temporarily) out of use or to limit the use of the services insofar as this is necessary for the reasonably required maintenance or for the necessary adjustments or improvements to the services to be carried out by FAMBZ, without this giving rise to a right to compensation from the Other Party or Consumer towards FAMBZ.
