If this is not possible (because the goods ordered are out of stock or no longer available), or there is a delay for other reasons, or an order cannot or can only be partially carried out, the consumer will be notified within this month after the order was placed and in that case has the right to cancel the order without costs and notice of default.
2.3 Subject to proof to the contrary, Relax's obligation to deliver will be fulfilled once the goods delivered by Relax have been offered to the buyer. In the event of home delivery, the carrier's report of refusal of acceptance shall constitute full evidence of the offer to deliver.
2.4 All terms mentioned on the internet site are indicative. No rights may therefore be derived from the terms stated.

4. Trial period / right of withdrawal
4.1 In case of a consumer purchase, in accordance with the Distance Selling Act (Article 7:5 of the Dutch Civil Code), the buyer is entitled to return (part of) the delivered goods within a period of 7 working days without giving reasons. This period starts the moment the ordered goods have been delivered. If the buyer has not returned the delivered goods to Relax after this period has expired, the sale is a fact. Before returning the goods, the buyer must notify Relax in writing within 7 working days of delivery. The buyer must prove that the delivered goods were returned in time, for instance by means of proof of postal delivery. Goods must be returned in their original packaging (including accessories and accompanying documentation) and in new condition (unworn and unwashed). If the goods have been used by the buyer, encumbered or damaged in any way, the right to dissolution within the meaning of this paragraph lapses. Subject to the provisions of the previous sentence, Relax Shop will ensure that the full purchase price including the shipping costs will be refunded to the buyer within 30 days of receipt of the return shipment. The return of the delivered goods is at the risk and expense of the customer.
4.2 The right of dissolution, as described in the preceding paragraph, only relates to the goods delivered and shall in no event relate to services, such as telephone subscriptions of the (mobile) network operators offered by Relax. The latter services, where Relax only acts as intermediary or agent, shall be subject to the general terms and conditions of such network operators.
4.3 The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- services whose performance, with the consent of the consumer, has begun before the deadline of seven working days
- goods or services whose price is subject to fluctuations in the financial market over which the supplier has no influence
- goods made to order for the consumer, e.g. 'print on demand' or 'customisation', or of a clearly personal nature
- for goods or services which by their nature cannot be returned, e.g. for reasons of hygiene or which spoil or age quickly
- audio and video recordings and computer software of which the consumer has broken the seal
- supply of newspapers and magazines; for betting and lottery services
5. Data management
5.1 If you place an order with Relax , your details will be included in Relax's customer database. Relax complies with the Personal Data Protection Act and will not disclose your details to third parties.
5.2 Relax respects the privacy of the users of the internet site and ensures confidential treatment of your personal data.
5.3 Relax uses a mailing list in some cases. Each mailing contains instructions on how to remove yourself from this list.
6. Warranty and conformity
6.1 The entrepreneur guarantees that the products and/or services comply with the agreement, the specifications mentioned in the offer, the reasonable requirements of soundness and/or usability and the legal provisions and/or government regulations existing on the date of the conclusion of the agreement.
6.2 'Reasonable requirements of soundness and/or usability' means that the delivered goods are usable for at least two months. The materials of the delivered products are not suitable for long-term exposure to sun or water and may decompose and become unusable regardless of exposure to sun or water.
6.3 An arrangement offered as a guarantee by the trader, manufacturer or importer does not affect the rights and claims that the consumer can enforce against the trader on the basis of the law and/or the distance contract with regard to a shortcoming in the fulfilment of the trader's obligations.
6.4 The buyer is obliged to check the goods delivered immediately on receipt. If it turns out that the delivered goods are wrong, defective or incomplete, the buyer must (before returning them to Relax) notify Relax of these defects immediately in writing. Any defects or incorrect goods delivered must and can be reported to Relax in writing no later than 2 months after delivery. Goods must be returned in their original packaging (including accessories and accompanying documentation) and in new condition. Use of the goods after the discovery of defects, damage arising after the discovery of defects, encumbrance and/or resale after the discovery of defects shall result in forfeiture of the right to complain and to return the goods.
6.5 If Relax finds complaints from the buyer justified, Relax will, at its discretion, either replace the delivered goods free of charge or agree a written settlement with the buyer about compensation, provided that Relax's liability and therefore the amount of compensation is always limited to the invoice amount of the goods concerned or (at Relax's discretion) to the maximum amount covered by its liability insurance in the case concerned. Any liability of Relax for any other form of loss is excluded, including additional compensation in whatever form, compensation for indirect or consequential loss or loss due to loss of profit.
6.6 Relax is not liable for damages caused by intent or equivalent intentional recklessness of non-managerial personnel.
6.7 This guarantee does not apply if:
A) and as long as the customer is in default vis-à-vis Relax;
B) the customer has repaired and/or modified the delivered goods himself or had them repaired and/or modified by third parties.
C) the delivered goods are exposed to abnormal conditions or otherwise carelessly handled or treated contrary to Relax's instructions and/or instructions for use on the packaging;
D) the defectiveness is wholly or partly the result of regulations imposed or to be imposed by the government on the nature or quality of the materials used;

10. Force majeure
10.1 Relax is not liable if and to the extent that its commitments cannot be fulfilled due to force majeure.
10.2 Force majeure is understood to mean any foreign cause, as well as any circumstance, which should not reasonably be at its risk. Delay at or failure to perform by our suppliers, internet failures, electricity failures, e-mail traffic failures and failures or changes in technology supplied by third parties, transport difficulties, strikes, government measures, delays in supply, negligence on the part of suppliers and/or manufacturers of Relax as well as auxiliary persons, sickness of staff, defects in auxiliary or transport equipment expressly count as force majeure.
10.3 In the event of force majeure, Relax reserves the right to suspend its obligations and is also entitled to dissolve the agreement in full or in part, or to claim that the content of the agreement be amended in such a way that performance remains possible. Under no circumstances shall Relax be obliged to pay any penalty or compensation.
10.4 If Relax has already fulfilled part of its obligations when force majeure arises, or can only partially fulfil its obligations, it is entitled to separately invoice the part already delivered or the deliverable part, as the case may be, and the buyer is obliged to pay this invoice as if it were a separate contract. However, this does not apply if the part already delivered and/or deliverable part has no independent value.
