4. Establishment and entering into of an agreement on the website

1. The presentation of products on the website may not be considered as an undertaking by Cibdol to enter into a purchase agreement. Since products are not necessarily available in store at all times, by submitting an order the customer is not able to immediately enter into a purchase agreement.

2. With the submission of your order, the order becomes binding and remains binding for you, for a period of 7 working days. Simple confirmation of the receipt of the order by Cibdol does not represent the entering into of an agreement.

3. Although we will make every effort to ensure that all information and specifications on our website or other written documents is correct, errors and omissions can occur. We reserve the right to correct these as we see fit and to update or cancel an order which is or could be affected by such corrections.

5. Prices and conditions of payment

1. All prices specified by Cibdol on its websites and in other written documents are including statutory value added tax. All costs included in the price are clearly specified. Additional costs which can arise will be indicated separately and must be paid by the customer.

2. Products will be sent by Cibdol Netherlands BV, based in Schijndel, the Netherlands (‘Cibdol Netherlands’). The customer shall be liable for any customs duties, import charges and duties payable. Cibdol has no influence on such additional costs, and is not able to issue any statements concerning the level of those costs. For further information, please contact your customs authorities at the destination location.

Before the full purchase price has been received, the products will not be delivered to the customer.

4. The payment methods accepted by us are specified on the website. We reserve the right to change these methods at any time, at our own discretion.

In the event of delivery to certain countries, a longer delivery term may apply; please consult our website for further information. All delivery terms are legally non-binding and failure to comply will not entitle you to withdraw from the agreement.

2. If Cibdol is in default in making its delivery, you must first allow us an extension of at least 20 working days during which we can still fulfil the agreement, before you are entitled to withdraw from the agreement. In the event of withdrawal from the agreement, Cibdol will reimburse not more than the purchase price. All liability for further compensation for late or failed delivery shall be excluded.

3. The customer must accept part deliveries if for example part of the products ordered are no longer available or can only be delivered at a later date.
