If this is not reasonably possible, the entrepreneur will indicate before the distance contract is concluded how the general terms and conditions can be inspected at the entrepreneur’s premises and that they will be sent free of charge as soon as possible at the consumer’s request. The general terms and conditions can always be found digitally at www.sjumo.com.

  2. The offer is non-binding. The entrepreneur is entitled to change and adjust the offer.
  3. The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the offered products, digital content, and/or services. The description is sufficiently detailed to allow the consumer to make a proper assessment of the offer. If the entrepreneur uses images, they are a true representation of the offered products, services and/or digital content. Obvious mistakes or errors in the offer, such as an incorrect price for a product, do not bind the entrepreneur. It concerns errors or mistakes that are apparent to nearly everyone as not intended by the entrepreneur.If the entrepreneur discovers an obvious error in the price of the products ordered by the consumer, the entrepreneur will inform the consumer of this incorrect price, offering them the choice to proceed with the purchase at the correct price or cancel the purchase and return the product free of charge if applicable.
  4. Images of products are a true representation of the offered products. However, the entrepreneur cannot guarantee that the displayed colours exactly match the actual colours of the products.
  5. Each offer contains such information that it is clear to the consumer what rights and obligations are attached to the acceptance of the offer.
  6. Delivered products may deviate by a maximum of 2% (two percent) in width, length, and height from the dimensions stated in the webshop.

Article 5 – The agreement

  1. The contract is concluded, subject to the provisions in paragraph 4, at the moment of acceptance by the consumer of the offer and the fulfillment of the conditions attached to it.
  2. If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, the entrepreneur will immediately confirm the receipt of acceptance of the offer electronically. As long as the receipt of this acceptance has not been confirmed by the entrepreneur, the consumer may dissolve the contract. After receipt of this confirmation, it is no longer possible for the consumer to dissolve or cancel the contract; however, the consumer can exercise the right of withdrawal (Article 6).
  3. If the contract is concluded electronically, the entrepreneur will take appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure the electronic transfer of data and will ensure a secure web environment. If the consumer can pay electronically, the entrepreneur will observe appropriate security measures.
  4. The entrepreneur can - within legal frameworks - inquire whether the consumer can meet their payment obligations, as well as all those facts and factors relevant to responsibly concluding a distance contract. If the entrepreneur, based on this investigation, has good reasons not to enter into the contract, he is entitled to refuse an order or request or to attach special conditions to the execution.

    1. The e-mail address of the entrepreneur where the consumer can address complaints;

Article 6 – Right of withdrawal

  1. When purchasing products, the consumer has the option to dissolve the contract without giving any reason within 14 days after receiving the product. The entrepreneur may ask the consumer for the reason for withdrawal but cannot oblige the consumer to state their reason(s). The reflection period starts the day after the consumer, or a pre-designated representative notified to the entrepreneur, receives the product. 
  2. During the reflection period, the consumer will handle the product and packaging with care. The consumer will only inspect the product to the extent necessary to assess whether they wish to keep the product. The basic principle is that the consumer may only handle and inspect the product as the consumer would be allowed to do in a store. This means that for bedding products, the consumer must return the product in its original packaging, unused, unfolded, and in the same condition as it was received to exercise their right of withdrawal. If the product has been unfolded from its packaging, the right of withdrawal expires. If the consumer exercises the right of withdrawal, the consumer will return the product with all delivered accessories and in the original condition and packaging to the entrepreneur within 7 days, following the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur. 
  3. If the consumer wishes to exercise the right of withdrawal, the consumer is obliged to notify the entrepreneur of this within 14 days of receiving the product, as specified in the return policy. After the consumer has communicated that they wish to exercise their right of withdrawal, they must return the product within 7 days to the address indicated by the entrepreneur. The consumer must prove that the delivered goods have been returned on time, for example, by providing proof of shipment.
  4. If the consumer has not indicated their intention to exercise the right of withdrawal or return the product to the entrepreneur after the period specified in paragraph 3, the purchase will be considered final.

Article 7 – Exercise of the right of withdrawal 

  1. If the consumer exercises their right of withdrawal, they will notify the entrepreneur within the reflection period using the model withdrawal form or in another unequivocal manner.
  2. As soon as possible, but within 7 days from the day following the notification referred to in paragraph 1, the consumer shall return the product or hand it over to (an authorized representative of) the entrepreneur. This is not necessary if the entrepreneur has offered to collect the product themselves. The consumer has observed the return period if they return the product before the reflection period has expired.
  3. The consumer shall return the product with all delivered accessories, not unfolded, if reasonably possible in its original state and packaging, and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the entrepreneur. 
  4. The risk and burden of proof for the correct and timely exercise of the right of withdrawal lie with the consumer.
  5. If the consumer exercises their right of withdrawal, all additional contracts shall be terminated by operation of law.

Article 8 – Costs in the case of withdrawal

  1. If the consumer exercises their right of withdrawal, at most the costs of return shipping will be borne by the consumer (€6,95). If the entrepreneur has not indicated that the consumer must bear these costs, or if the entrepreneur states that they will bear these costs themselves, the consumer does not need to bear the cost of return shipping.
  2. If the consumer has paid an amount, the entrepreneur will refund this amount as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after withdrawal. This is provided that the product has already been received back by the entrepreneur or conclusive proof of complete return can be submitted. The refund will be made via the same payment method used by the consumer unless the consumer expressly agrees to a different payment method. The refund is free of charge for the consumer.
  3. If the consumer has opted for a more expensive method of delivery than the cheapest standard delivery, the entrepreneur does not have to refund the additional costs for the more expensive method.
  4. If the product is damaged due to careless handling by the consumer, the consumer is liable for any reduction in the value of the product.
  5. The consumer cannot be held liable for a reduction in the value of the product if the entrepreneur has not provided all legally required information about the right of withdrawal, which must be done before concluding the purchase agreement.

Article 9 – Exclusion of the right of withdrawal

The entrepreneur can exclude the following products and services from the right of withdrawal, but only if the entrepreneur has clearly stated this in the offer, or at least in good time before the conclusion of the contract:

Service contracts, after full performance of the service, but only if:

  • The performance has begun with the consumer’s explicit prior consent;
  • And the consumer has declared that they lose their right of withdrawal as soon as the entrepreneur has fully executed the contract.

Exclusion of the right of withdrawal is only possible for products:

  1. Manufactured according to the consumer’s specifications, which are not prefabricated and are produced based on an individual choice or decision of the consumer, or which are clearly intended for a specific person;
  2. That are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons and where the seal has been broken after delivery;

  2. Contrary to the previous paragraph, the entrepreneur may offer products or services whose prices are subject to fluctuations in the financial market and over which the entrepreneur has no influence, with variable prices. This dependence on fluctuations and the fact that any prices stated are target prices will be stated in the offer.
  3. Price increases within 3 months after the conclusion of the contract are only allowed if they result from statutory regulations or provisions. 
  4. Price increases from 3 months after the conclusion of the contract are only allowed if the entrepreneur has stipulated this and:
    • They result from statutory regulations or provisions; or
    • The consumer has the authority to terminate the contract with effect from the day on which the price increase takes effect.
  5. All prices mentioned include VAT and other taxes, unless otherwise indicated or agreed upon. 
  6. Shipping and return costs are stated in the offer.
  7. A composite price quotation does not obligate the entrepreneur to deliver part of the items included in the offer for a corresponding part of the quoted price.
  8. If there is a (temporary) discount or promotion, it cannot be used at a later date. After the promotion expires, the offer is void. 
  9. It is not possible to combine multiple discount(s)/discount codes or discount codes with bundle deals.
  10. For bundle deals, the discount applies exclusively to the bundle as a whole and not to the individual products. If the consumer chooses to return one or more items from the bundle, the applied discount will be voided, and the original price of the retained products will be charged. The refund amount will be adjusted accordingly.
  11. The price at the time of the contract is considered the agreed price. The entrepreneur is never obliged to apply prices that were in effect at the time you placed the order in the webshop. If the price of a product in the webshop is lower after the time of the contract, the consumer is not entitled to any form of compensation.

Article 11 – Conformity and Warranty

  1. The entrepreneur guarantees that the products and/or services comply with the contract, the specifications stated in the offer, the reasonable requirements of reliability and/or usability, and the legal provisions and/or government regulations in force on the date of the conclusion of the contract. If agreed upon, the entrepreneur also guarantees that the product is suitable for other than normal use.
  2. Any (additional) warranty provided by the entrepreneur, manufacturer, or importer does not limit the legal rights and claims that the consumer may assert against the entrepreneur under the contract if the entrepreneur has failed to fulfill its part of the contract.
  3. Any defects or incorrectly delivered products must be reported in writing to the entrepreneur within 4 weeks of delivery. The products must be returned in the original packaging (not unfolded) and in new condition.
  4. The entrepreneur offers a 1-year warranty on the construction and materials of the products. The warranty period provided by the entrepreneur corresponds to the manufacturer’s warranty period. However, the entrepreneur is never responsible for the ultimate suitability of the products for every individual application by the consumer, nor for any advice regarding the use or application of the products.
  5. The warranty does not apply if:
    • Damage caused intentionally or through negligence;
    • Normal wear and tear, deformation, loss of hardness, or shrinkage of covering layers;
    • Damage caused by failure to follow or incorrectly following the instructions for use;
    • The consumer has repaired and/or modified the delivered products themselves or has had them repaired and/or modified by third parties;
    • The products have been exposed to abnormal conditions, handled carelessly, or treated in violation of the instructions from the entrepreneur and/or the instructions on the packaging;

Article 12 – Delivery and performance

  1. The entrepreneur will take the greatest possible care in receiving and executing orders for products and in assessing requests for the provision of services.
