Article 13 – The Offer
If an offer has a limited validity period or is subject to conditions, this will be explicitly stated. The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products, digital content, and/or services offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to allow the consumer to properly assess the offer.
If Maison Lioré uses images, these are a true representation of the products, services and/or digital content offered. Obvious errors or mistakes in the offer are not binding on Maison Lioré. Every offer contains sufficient information so it is clear to the consumer what their rights and obligations are when accepting the offer.
Article 14 – Consumer Obligations During the Cooling-Off Period
During the cooling-off period, the consumer must handle the product and packaging with care. The consumer may only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to determine the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the product. The principle is that the consumer may only handle and inspect the product as they would be allowed to do in a store.
The consumer is only liable for any reduction in value resulting from handling beyond what is permitted in paragraph 1. The consumer is not liable for any reduction in value if Maison Lioré has not provided all legally required information about the right of withdrawal before the contract was concluded or at the time of conclusion.
Article 15 – Company Identity
Company name: Ecomgev
KvK: 92347665

Article 16 – Exercising the Right of Withdrawal and Related Costs
If the consumer exercises the right of withdrawal, they must notify Maison Lioré within the cooling-off period using the standard withdrawal form or in another unambiguous way. As soon as possible, but no later than 30 days after the day following the notification referred to in paragraph 1, the consumer must return the product or hand it over to (an authorised representative of) Maison Lioré. This is not required if Maison Lioré has offered to collect the product.
The consumer has met the return deadline if the product is returned before the cooling-off period has expired. The consumer must return the product with all supplied accessories, if reasonably possible, in its original condition and packaging, and in accordance with reasonable and clear instructions from Maison Lioré.
The risk and burden of proof for correct and timely exercise of the right of withdrawal lies with the consumer. The consumer bears the direct costs of returning the product. If Maison Lioré has not informed the consumer that they must bear these costs, or if Maison Lioré states that it will bear the costs, the consumer does not have to pay the return shipping costs.
The consumer bears no costs for the full or partial delivery of digital content not supplied on a tangible medium if:
-
the consumer has not expressly consented to the performance of the agreement starting before the end of the cooling-off period;
-
the consumer has not acknowledged losing the right of withdrawal by giving consent; or
-
Maison Lioré has failed to confirm this statement from the consumer.
If the consumer exercises the right of withdrawal, all supplementary agreements are automatically terminated.
Article 17 – Price
During the period stated in the offer, the prices of the offered products and/or services will not be increased, except for price changes resulting from changes in VAT rates.
Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, Maison Lioré may offer products or services whose prices are subject to fluctuations in the financial market beyond Maison Lioré’s control, at variable prices. This link to fluctuations and the fact that any prices mentioned may be indicative will be stated in the offer.
Price increases within 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if they result from legal regulations or provisions. Price increases after 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if Maison Lioré has concluded the agreement and:
-
they are the result of legal regulations or provisions; or
-
the consumer is authorised to terminate the agreement with effect from the day the price increase takes effect.
