Consumer Version

Article 1 Applicability of the conditions

1.1 These terms and conditions apply to all agreements, including the distance contract as well as every offer and every (legal) act from which such a distance contract may arise, (including any amendment or supplement to an agreement as well as all (legal) acts in preparation and in execution of that agreement, including these terms and conditions and any other specifications and conditions as applicable to the agreement) of the private limited company WATT E-MOBILITY, hereinafter referred to as: WATT E-MOBILITY, and every agreement between WATT E-MOBILITY and a consumer, not acting in the exercise of a profession or business, to which WATT E-MOBILITY has declared these terms and conditions applicable and to the extent that the parties have not expressly deviated from these terms and conditions in writing.
1.2 A distance contract exists if, within the framework of a system for the distance sale of products and/or services organised by WATT E-MOBILITY, up to and including the conclusion of the contract, exclusive use is made of distance communication techniques, therefore without the consumer and (employees of) WATT E-MOBILITY having been in each other's personal presence.
1.3 Before a distance contract is concluded, the text of these general terms and conditions will be made available to the consumer electronically, in such a way that they can be easily stored by the consumer. If it is not reasonably possible to make these general terms and conditions available to the consumer in this way, the consumer will be informed before the distance contract is concluded that the general terms and conditions are available for inspection at WATT E-MOBILITY and will be sent to them free of charge as soon as possible upon request.
1.4 The agreement between the consumer and WATT E-MOBILITY is concluded when the consumer has received proof of receipt of approval from WATT E-MOBILITY electronically.

Article 2 Quotations

2.1 Quotes made by WATT E-MOBILITY are non-binding. They are valid for thirty days, unless otherwise stated in writing. Prices stated in a quote are exclusive of VAT, quoted in euros, and exclude shipping costs. Prices in non-EU countries are VAT-exclusive. The customer is responsible for any import duties and similar national levies.
2.2 Each quotation and/or offer contains such information that it is clear to the consumer what rights and obligations are attached to its acceptance. This concerns in particular the price including taxes, any delivery costs, the manner in which the agreement will be concluded and the actions required for this, the applicability or otherwise of the right of withdrawal, the method of payment, delivery, or performance of the agreement, the period for acceptance or the period for honoring the price, the amount of the rate for distance communication if the costs of using the distance communication technology are calculated on a basis other than the regular basic rate for the communication medium used, whether the agreement is archived after its conclusion, and if so, how it can be consulted by the consumer, and furthermore, the way in which the consumer, before concluding the agreement, can check and, if necessary, correct the data provided by them in connection with the agreement, and the minimum duration of the distance contract in the case of a long-term transaction.

Article 3 Agreement

3.1 Offers displayed by WATT E-MOBILITY are not binding on WATT E-MOBILITY and serve only as an invitation to place an order. This order will only definitively result in an agreement between the parties after WATT E-MOBILITY has accepted and confirmed the order in writing and executes it. WATT E-MOBILITY will then charge the price that is used in accordance with WATT E-MOBILITY's most current price list. WATT E-MOBILITY strives to always display the most current prices in euros on the price list on its website, but reserves the right to deviate from the displayed price, particularly if the displayed prices do not correspond to the most current price list used by WATT E-MOBILITY due to a technical malfunction or the actions of third parties. WATT E-MOBILITY will inform the consumer in such a case. The consumer will then be able to invoke the right to terminate the agreement. If this right is not exercised within 8 days of notification by WATT E-MOBILITY, WATT E-MOBILITY will implement the agreement in accordance with the provisions of this article.
3.2 Subject to the foregoing, an agreement is also concluded when the consumer accepts any offer and meets the conditions set forth therein. If the consumer has accepted the offer electronically, WATT E-MOBILITY will immediately confirm receipt of acceptance of the offer electronically. As long as receipt of this acceptance has not been confirmed, the consumer may terminate the agreement.
3.3 If the agreement is concluded electronically, WATT E-MOBILITY will take appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure the electronic transfer of data and ensure a secure web environment. If the consumer wishes to pay electronically, WATT E-MOBILITY will implement appropriate security measures.
3.4 WATT E-MOBILITY will send the following information to the consumer with the product or service, in writing or in such a way that it can be stored by the consumer in an accessible manner on a durable data carrier: the conditions under which and the manner in which the consumer can exercise the right of withdrawal, or a clear statement regarding the exclusion of the right of withdrawal, the information about existing after-sales service and guarantees, the information included in Article 2, paragraph 2 of these terms and conditions, unless WATT E-MOBILITY has already provided this information to the consumer prior to the performance of the agreement, as well as the requirements for terminating the agreement if the agreement has a duration of more than one year or is of indefinite duration.
3.5 WATT E-MOBILITY may, within legal frameworks, investigate whether the consumer can meet their payment obligations, as well as all facts and factors relevant to responsibly entering into the distance contract. If, based on this investigation, WATT E-MOBILITY has good reason not to enter into the contract, it is entitled to reject an order or request with reasons or to impose special conditions on its execution.
3.6 Regardless of the foregoing, WATT E-MOBILITY may offer products or services with variable prices, the prices of which are subject to fluctuations in the financial market over which WATT E-MOBILITY has no control. This subjection to fluctuations and the fact that any stated prices are target prices will be stated in the offer.

Article 4 Delivery

4.1 Delivery takes place ex warehouse of WATT E-MOBILITY in the Netherlands or any other location designated by WATT E-MOBILITY, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
4.2 The consumer is obligated to accept the purchased items upon delivery. The risk of loss, theft, and damage to the delivered products will pass to the consumer upon delivery. If acceptance is refused, the items will be stored at the consumer's expense and risk. All additional costs incurred in this regard, including but not limited to storage costs, will be borne by the consumer.
4.3 If at any time WATT E-MOBILITY has reasonable doubts about the creditworthiness of the consumer, WATT E-MOBILITY has the right, before performing (further), to demand that the consumer make an advance payment or provide security for the amounts that WATT E-MOBILITY has or will have to claim from the consumer, whether or not due and payable, such at the discretion of WATT E-MOBILITY.
4.4 If the consumer does not pay on the due date, WATT E-MOBILITY is entitled to refuse any further delivery of goods or services until payment has been made in full.

Article 5 Right of withdrawal

5.1 When purchasing products, the consumer has the right to cancel the agreement without giving reasons within 14 (fourteen) days. This period commences on the day after the consumer, or a representative designated in advance by the consumer and notified to WATT E-MOBILITY, receives the product.
5.2 During this period, the consumer will handle the product and packaging with care. They will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to assess whether they wish to keep it. If they exercise their right of withdrawal, they will return the product with all accessories supplied and – if reasonably possible – in its original condition and packaging to WATT E-MOBILITY, in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by WATT E-MOBILITY.
5.3 If the consumer exercises his right of withdrawal, he will be responsible for at most the costs of return.
5.4 If the consumer has paid an amount, WATT E-MOBILITY will refund this amount as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after cancellation and receipt of the returned goods.

Article 6 Delivery time

6.1 Delivery times are approximate and provided to the best of WATT E-MOBILITY's knowledge, but are not binding on WATT E-MOBILITY. Exceeding the stated delivery time only entitles the consumer to terminate the agreement after WATT E-MOBILITY has received written notice of default, setting a reasonable period for compliance, and delivery has not taken place within this period. In such a case, the consumer will not be entitled to any compensation, except insofar as any statutory provision so provides, or to non-compliance with any obligation on their part arising from the agreement.
6.2 In the event of a delay in delivery compared to the estimated delivery date specified in the previous paragraph, WATT E-MOBILITY will inform the consumer thereof.
6.3 The estimated delivery time specified by WATT E-MOBILITY commences at the moment that the acceptance of the quotation by the consumer has been confirmed in writing by WATT E-MOBILITY and all data or resources necessary for the execution of the delivery have been received by WATT E-MOBILITY from the consumer.
6.4 Subject to the provisions of these general terms and conditions, WATT E-MOBILITY will fulfill accepted orders expeditiously, but no later than 30 days, unless a longer delivery period has been agreed. If delivery is delayed, or if an order cannot be fulfilled or can only be partially fulfilled, the consumer will be notified of this no later than one month after placing the order. In that case, the consumer has the right to terminate the agreement free of charge. In the event of termination in accordance with this article, WATT E-MOBILITY will refund the amount paid by the consumer as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days after termination.
6.5 WATT E-MOBILITY reserves the right at any time to execute an agreement in parts and to request payment for these. In the event of partial deliveries, these are deemed to be based on separate agreements, to which these terms and conditions apply.

Article 7 Images, drawings, models, etc.

7.1 Images, drawings, dimensions and weight specifications, models, or samples are provided by WATT E-MOBILITY to the consumer for illustrative purposes only. The quality of the delivered goods may deviate from the image, drawing, dimensions and weight specifications, model, or sample, unless expressly stated in writing that delivery will be in accordance with the information provided.

At the consumer's request, WATT E-MOBILITY will inform them about the applicability and content of the warranty(s) provided by these manufacturers and third parties, if any.
