If these costs are higher than the regular postal tariff, Bendur BV provides an estimate of these costs. Any costs paid by the Customer for shipping and payment of the product to the Customer will be reimbursed to the Customer upon return of the entire order.
  • 6.5. Within the period mentioned in paragraph 1, the Customer will handle the product and the packaging carefully.

The Customer can dissolve the Agreement according to the term mentioned in paragraph 1 of this Article by sending the model withdrawal form (digitally) to Bendur BV, or by making it known in another unequivocal way to Bendur BV that he wishes to withdraw from the purchase. Bendur BV confirms the receipt of that notification in case of a digital report. After dissolution, the Customer has 14 days to return the product.

Unless Bendur BV offers to pick up the product itself, Bendur BV may wait to refund until Bendur BV has received the product or until the Customer demonstrates that he has returned the product, whichever is earlier.
  • 6.9. On the Website, clear and timely information about whether or not the right of withdrawal is applicable and an optional desired procedure is stated before the Agreement is concluded.

  • 7.2.
