- Applicability
- 1 These general terms and conditions apply to every offer from MDK and to every agreement concluded with MDK. Before an agreement is concluded, these general terms and conditions are provided to the purchaser. If this is not reasonably possible, MDK will inform the purchaser before the agreement is concluded that these general terms and conditions are available for inspection at MDK and will be sent upon request.
- 2 If the general terms and conditions have been made available electronically, this has been done in such a way that the customer can save the general terms and conditions and make them accessible for later reference.
- The goods, purchase & delivery
- 1 The description of the goods, the quantity, the quality, the price, VAT, insurance, environmental tax and delivery costs are described on the website, the catalogue, order page or order form. Illustrations, descriptions and other information regarding certain goods, with the exception of the prices, VAT, shipping costs and environmental tax, are indicative and serve only as a guideline. Obvious mistakes or obvious errors in the offer and/or the agreement do not bind MDK.
- 2 MDK may unilaterally amend the agreement, in which case the purchaser has the option to terminate the agreement within 14 days after MDK has notified the purchaser of this amendment.
- 3 After the customer has placed an order with MDK, MDK will confirm receipt of such order as soon as possible, if possible. If this order has been placed electronically, MDK will confirm this order electronically without delay.
- 4 MDK strives to deliver all ordered goods within the agreed delivery time. Goods and services are always subject to availability. If your order or part of your order cannot be delivered, MDK will inform you of this. If a product or order is (partly) unavailable, MDK can deliver a replacement product of equal or higher quality, or deliver your order in part. If you do not wish to keep the replacement product, you can make use of the right of withdrawal as described in article 4.
- 5 If the product you ordered is delivered damaged or defective, or if it is an incorrect product, you can inform customer service by e-mail or telephone within 14 days of receipt of the goods. Customer service will then provide a replacement or similar product.
- 6 MDK will use its best efforts to ensure that your order is dispatched at the time requested by you. If MDK is unable to dispatch an order at your requested time, that order will be dispatched at a time as close to the requested time as reasonably possible, which may be either earlier or later than the requested time.

-
Return costs
The costs for returning the package to Beautanic Lifestyle can be charged to the customer, unless otherwise agreed in writing. -
Resend
If the customer wishes the package to be reshipped, the costs of this new shipment will be fully borne by the customer. These shipping costs must be paid in advance. -
Loss of right to delivery

Right of withdrawal
If the customer exercises the right of withdrawal, only the purchase costs of the products will be refunded. The original shipping costs and any return costs remain at the expense of the customer.

General terms and conditions – January 2021 – MDK Plants & Decorations BV
- 7 MDK will deliver the goods to the address you provide in your order. It is important that this address is correct. Please be specific about where you want the goods to be left in the unlikely event that you are not at home when MDK delivers. MDK accepts no liability, to the extent permitted by law, for loss or damage to the goods if they have been delivered in accordance with your delivery instructions.
- 8 The goods should be scheduled as soon as possible after receipt. We recommend that you open and take care of the delivered package immediately after receipt unless you decide that you want to use your right of withdrawal as described in article 4.
- 9 You always have the possibility, without any additional charges, up to the day before the packing process of the order starts, to make changes or to cancel the order. For this you need to contact customer service. This is only possible if we receive your instructions before your package is packed.
- Right of withdrawal
- 1 You have the right to cancel an order up to 14 days after the day that you received the ordered goods. If you want to use this right of cancellation, you will find the (digital) form with which you can do so on www.beautanicshop/herroepingsformulier under general terms and conditions. Do not return the goods to MDK before you have received a request to do so from MDK (MDK always guarantees the quality of the goods and, due to the nature of the goods, is often unable to reuse them). MDK wants to ensure that no unnecessary burden is generated on the environment. If you return the goods, the goods must be sent in the original packaging to the address stated on the invoice. MDK will refund your payment, including the environmental tax and shipping costs.
- 2 The purchaser shall bear the direct costs of returning the products.
- 3 During the period in which the purchaser can make use of the right of withdrawal, the purchaser will handle the product and the 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 purchaser may only handle and inspect the product as he would be allowed to do in a shop.
- 4 The purchaser is liable for any diminished value of the product resulting from the handling of the product in a way that goes beyond what is permitted in the previous paragraph.
- Prices & Payment
- 1 All prices quoted are in local currency and are correct at time of publication but may be subject to change.
- 2 MDK may, within legal frameworks, inquire whether the purchaser can meet his payment obligations, as well as all facts and factors that are important for a responsible conclusion of the agreement (at a distance). If MDK has good reasons not to enter into the agreement on the basis of this investigation, it is entitled to refuse an order or request with reasons or to attach special conditions to the execution.
- 3 The special conditions as stated in 5.2 include, among other things, the obligation to make (partial) advance payment or payment of outstanding invoices that have not been paid.
- 4 All prices are exclusive of shipping costs and include VAT at the current rate. MDK guarantees that there will be no increase in the stated prices of products in its online shop or catalogue or orders received during the validity period of these offers. The prices in the catalogues, special offers or online shop may differ (from each other). In the event that the VAT rates are increased during the term of a catalogue or price list, MDK reserves the right to charge such additional amounts to the customer, whereby the customer has the option to terminate the agreement within 14 days after MDK has informed the customer of this change.

- 5 If goods are incorrectly priced due to an obvious error or mistake, either at unit level or as a result of the activation of a promotion, MDK will not be obliged to supply those goods to you at the incorrect price, at least to the extent that the customer could not justifiably rely on such incorrect price. In such circumstances, MDK may inform you of the correct price and ask you whether you still agree to the changed price.
- 6 MDK accepts payment for goods in a number of forms as indicated on the website or order form. Payment options depend on the country and order channel.
- 7 The purchaser has the obligation to report any inaccuracies in payment details provided or stated to MDK without delay.
- 8 If a customer fails to send the correct payment with his order or if the payment is refused for whatever reason, MDK is entitled, after notice of default, to compensation for the administrative costs of requesting the payment. MDK reserves the right to terminate the agreement or to suspend further delivery to you. This does not affect other rights of MDK.
- 9 If the purchaser does not meet his payment obligation(s) on time, MDK will grant the purchaser a period of 14 days to still meet his payment obligation(s). After this period and failure to pay, the purchaser owes statutory interest on the amount still owed and MDK is entitled to charge the extrajudicial collection costs incurred by it. These collection costs amount to a maximum of:
- - 15% on outstanding amounts up to € 2,500;
- - 10% on the next €2,500; and
- - 5% on the next €5,000;
With a minimum of € 40.--. Outstanding amounts as stated in this clause also include monetary claims in a currency other than the euro with an equivalent value.

Any costs resulting from unfounded claims shall be borne by the customer.
- 3 No claim can be made under this warranty:
