Explanation of the model text “General conditions for delivery to consumers”

Although the greatest care and attention has been given to the content and composition of the model general terms and conditions, the Chamber of Commerce accepts no liability whatsoever arising from the consultation and use thereof.

These model terms and conditions and the explanatory notes thereto are of an informative nature only and may serve as a guideline for drawing up general terms and conditions in a specific case. In particular, the articles dealing with warranty and liability must be adapted to the company that uses the conditions.

The following is a brief explanation of some provisions as included in the model general terms and conditions. This explanation does not imply completeness.

Moreover, the explanation does not imply that the other provisions apply to your company, that they do not need to be adapted to your company and its concrete activities.
It is therefore always important to carefully assess all provisions included in the model for their correctness, completeness, desirability and necessity for your company.

Because it often happens that, for example, a service provider also supplies goods to its clients, the model general terms and conditions for services also include provisions that relate to the delivery of goods. If you do not deliver business but your activities are purely aimed at providing services, then you may consider not including these provisions in your general terms and conditions.

It often happens that a company does not limit itself to, for example, only delivery to consumers, but that it also supplies, for example, to non-consumers. Because the law offers consumers more extensive protection than non-consumers, the content of the model general terms and conditions for consumers also deviates from the model general terms and conditions for delivery to non-consumers.

For example, if you deliver goods to both consumers and non-consumers, it is therefore advisable to pay extra attention to the difference when drawing up your general terms and conditions. It can of course also happen that your activities consist of both services and the delivery of goods. In that case too, it is advisable to take these different activities into account when drawing up your general terms and conditions.

In this explanation reference is made to legislation. The provisions referred to can be consulted at http://www.overheid.nl

General

For consumer transactions, the statutory regulations of the so-called consumer purchase (Book 7 of the Civil Code) and the statutory regulations on general terms and conditions, in which the “black” and “gray” lists are particularly important. The “black list” contains so-called invalid clauses. The “gray list” contains so-called voidable clauses.

Article 1: General

………: Here you must enter the name of your company.

Article 5 paragraph 3: Force majeure

If the force majeure situation lasts longer than 2 months.
This term is only an example and can be longer or shorter depending on the type and content of the agreement. If you change this term, it is of course important that you include a realistic term that is in line with the nature of your company and its activities.

Article 6 paragraphs 1 and 2: Payment and collection

Payment term of 14 days.
This term can be longer or shorter depending on the sector. However, such a period may not be so short that it is not or virtually impossible for your contracting party to pay the amount due within the period specified by you.
The interest on absenteeism of 1% per month can also be set higher or lower. However, the interest that you want to use may not be excessively high.

Article 5: Force majeure

The circumstances referred to in Article 5 are not the only circumstances that justify the conclusion that there is force majeure. There may therefore also be other circumstances that may justify invoking force majeure. An example of this is work strikes in your company or in the company of third parties.
Although strikes in your company or in the company of third parties that you use in the performance of an agreement are in principle at the expense and risk of the entrepreneur himself, under certain circumstances there is the possibility that an entrepreneur would also act in that case. can rely on force majeure. In particular, this may be the case if, according to objective standards, you have not been able to take measures to prevent the consequences of strikes in the specific case.

User reserves the right to invoke force majeure in the event of strikes in the company of User or third parties.

Article 8 paragraphs 2 and 4: Warranty period and notification period

………: You must enter the warranty period here.
The warranty period to be included in article 8 paragraph 2 depends on what the buyer can reasonably expect from the item to be delivered.
What the buyer can expect from this depends, among other things, on the nature of the case.
For example, the buyer may expect different properties from a new good or branded article than he may expect from a used good or non-branded goods.
It is also relevant what the seller has stated about the properties of the case.

In this context, attention should be drawn to the presumption that a matter is affected by a defect. This is because Article 7:18 of the Dutch Civil Code states that in the case of a consumer purchase it is suspected that the good has not complied with the agreement on delivery, if the deviation from the agreed is revealed within a period of six months after delivery, unless the nature of the matter or of the deviation opposes this.

The reporting period of two months included in Article 8 paragraph 4 is a legal period, in the sense that a notification within two months is timely (Article 7:23 paragraph 1 BW). This period may be shorter, but then falls under the scope of Article 6: 237 under h BW (The gray list).

The complaint period within which the consumer must notify the seller of an established defect commences from the moment the defect is discovered. If the defect occurs within a period of six months after the date of delivery, then the defect is presumed to have been present at the time of delivery of the good, unless:

– evidence to the contrary is proven;
– this assumption is inconsistent with the nature of the goods or the lack of conformity.

Except in the case of these two exceptions, the buyer is in that case entitled to have the item brought into conformity with the agreement free of charge. The consumer has the choice between repair or replacement of the item.
If repair or replacement is not possible, the consumer has the option to request an appropriate reduction of the purchase price or to dissolve the agreement. However, the consumer cannot claim dissolution if the lack of conformity is of minor importance.
