Article 1 - Products

We sell watersports items such as inflatable boats, outboard engines, parts and accessories.

Article 2 - Payments

The (total) price of the products, including taxes and shipping costs, is shown in our web shop before you accept the offer. Payment is made in advance via our secure online payment service. We accept, among others iDEAL, PayPal, Klarna, MobilePay, Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, Mastercard. Online payments are processed securely via our payment partners Mollie, Shopify payments and Paypal.

You can also pay for your order by a standard bank transfer in advance of dispatch.

If, after acceptance of the offer, a price change occurs, you will be informed and you can then decide to withdraw from the purchase.

Shipping costs are at your expense. Within the Netherlands, we do not charge shipping costs for orders from 50 euros.

Product prices include VAT.

Article 3 - Deliveries

We deliver your product to the address you provided when placing the order. You can no longer change the address once we have already dispatched the parcel. DHL, PostNL or another courier service handles distribution. When the parcel has been dispatched, you will receive a track & trace code from us, allowing you to follow your order. You are obliged to accept the parcel at the time it is delivered to you. The risk of damage to and/or loss of products remains with us until the moment of delivery to you, unless expressly agreed otherwise. We do our best to deliver the order as quickly as possible. If the order is delayed, we will notify you of this in writing. We guarantee that you will receive the order no later than 30 days after order confirmation. If, unexpectedly, this is not possible, you may ask us to (a) refund the amount you paid for the product immediately, or (b) send a replacement product (of equal value).

Delivery times are indicative and do not entitle you to compensation if they are exceeded.

Article 4 - Warranties

We guarantee that what is sold conforms to the agreement, that it will function without defects, and that it is suitable for the use the buyer intends to make of it. The warranty period is in accordance with the warranty terms of our suppliers and may differ per product. If you have any questions about this, you can email us at info@zodiaconlineshop.nl.

Article 5 - Returns - Right of withdrawal

You have 14 days to withdraw from the order and to notify the return. You can do this as described on our returns page. After you have received confirmation from us, you must send the product back within 14 days. We will refund the full purchase amount within 14 days after the return is registered, provided we have already received the product back in good order.

Once we have received the product, we will refund the full purchase amount within 14 days, or, in the case of an incorrect product, we will replace the product with the correct product. The costs of return shipping are at your expense. During the period in which you may decide whether you wish to keep the product, you must handle the product and the packaging with care.

You may only unpack and use the product to the extent necessary to determine whether you wish to keep it. If the product is damaged, or the packaging is more damaged than is necessary to try the product, we may charge you for this reduction in value. Therefore, handle the product with care and ensure it is well packed when returning it. A product showing signs of use cannot be returned. Second-chance, second-hand and other non-new items cannot be returned as standard, unless stated otherwise in the product description.

If you have any questions about this, you can email us at info@zodiaconlineshop.nl.

Article 6 - Liability

We are not liable for damage caused by the use of a product. This does not apply if such damage arose due to our intent, gross negligence or wilful recklessness. In any event, your right to compensation will be limited to a maximum of the amount of the ordered and paid product.

Article 7 - Intellectual property rights

All intellectual property rights (such as: copyright, figurative marks, word marks) in our texts, photos, images and other materials are our property (or are managed by us with the permission of the rights holder). Your use must not infringe these rights.

Article 8 - Complaints procedure

If you have a complaint about the performance of the agreement, we would like to hear from you. Send your complaint, fully and clearly described, within 2 months after you have discovered the defects to info@zodiaconlineshop.nl. We will deal with your complaint as quickly as possible, no later than 10 days after we have received your complaint. If it takes longer to settle the complaint, you will receive an acknowledgement of your complaint within two days and we will let you know when we expect a substantive response.

If your complaint is found to be justified by us, we will repair or replace the delivered products. If we cannot resolve the complaint between us, a dispute arises that falls under the disputes procedure.

You have the option, after first reporting the complaint to us, to submit your complaint via the European ODR platform (http://ec.europa.eu/odr).

Article 9 - Disputes procedure

Dutch law applies to these general terms and conditions and to the agreements we enter into with you. In the event of a dispute, the court in Amsterdam has jurisdiction.

In the event of complaints, a consumer must first contact the trader. If the web shop is affiliated with WebwinkelKeur and, in the event of complaints that cannot be resolved by mutual agreement, the consumer must contact WebwinkelKeur (www.webwinkelkeur.nl), which will mediate free of charge. Check whether this web shop has a current membership via https://www.webwinkelkeur.nl/leden/. If a solution is still not reached, the consumer has the option to have the complaint handled by the independent disputes committee appointed by WebwinkelKeur; its decision is binding and both trader and consumer agree to this binding decision. Submitting a dispute to this disputes committee involves costs, which must be paid by the consumer to the relevant committee.
