If an offer has a limited period of validity or is made subject to conditions, this shall be explicitly stated in the offer;

The offer is non-binding. The operator is entitled to change and adapt the offer;

The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products and/or services offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to allow a proper assessment of the offer by the consumer. If the operator uses images, these are a true representation of the products and/or services offered. Obvious mistakes or obvious errors in the offer are not binding on the operator;

All images, specifications and information contained in the offer are indicative and cannot give rise to compensation or dissolution of the agreement;

Product images are a true representation of the products offered. The operator cannot guarantee that the colours shown correspond exactly with the actual colours of the products;

Each offer contains information such that it is clear to the consumer what rights and obligations are attached to the acceptance of the offer. This concerns in particular:

The price including taxes;

Any shipping costs;

The manner in which the agreement will be concluded and what actions will be necessary for that purpose;

Whether or not there is a right of withdrawal;

The method of payment, delivery and execution of the agreement;

The period for acceptance of the offer, or the period within which the operator guarantees the price;

The amount of the rate for remote communication if the costs of using the means of remote communication are calculated on a basis other than the regular basic rate for the means of communication used;

Whether the agreement will be archived after its conclusion, and if so, how this can be consulted by the consumer;

The way in which the consumer, prior to the conclusion of the agreement, can check the data provided by it within the framework of the agreement and, if desired, rectify it;

Any other languages in which, in addition to Dutch, the agreement may be concluded;

The codes of conduct to which the operator is subject and the way in which the consumer can consult these codes of conduct electronically.

5. The price

During the period of validity stated in the offer, the prices of the products and/or services offered shall not be increased, except for price changes due to changes in VAT rates;

Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, Stori may offer products or services whose prices are subject to fluctuations in the financial market and over which the operator has no influence, with variable prices. The offer shall state this commitment to fluctuation and the fact that any prices quoted are guide prices;

Price increases within 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if they are the result of statutory regulations or provisions;

Price increases from 3 months after the conclusion of the agreement are only allowed if the operator has stipulated this, and: a. they are the result of statutory regulations or provisions; or b. the consumer has the right to terminate the agreement as of the day on which the price increase takes effect;

The prices specified in the offer of products or services include VAT;

All prices are subject to printing and typesetting errors. No liability is accepted for the consequences of printing and typesetting errors. In case of printing and typesetting errors, the operator is not obliged to deliver the product according to the incorrect price.

6. Ordering and delivery

Orders at Stori can only be accepted without deviations. All orders at Stori, whether based on normal prices or special offers, remain valid as long as stocks last. The buyer cannot derive any rights from orders at Stori;

Stori shall not be bound by manifest errors or mistakes in its offer;

Prices are shown on the website in Euro (EUR), British Pound (GBP) and US Dollar (USD). The prices of the products listed on the Stori website include VAT. Other government levies, shipping and/or other transport costs are not included in the price as standard. Before the order is completed, Stori shall display the total price to be paid by the buyer on its website;

After placing an order, the buyer will receive an e-mail from Stori in which the products ordered and the total amount of the order is stated including VAT and shipping costs;

Stori has the right, without giving reasons, to refuse orders within one week after receipt;

The products shall be delivered to the address specified by the buyer;

A delivery deadline stated by Stori is only an indication, unless it has been expressly agreed in writing that the deadline is final;

If the buyer has ordered more than one product, Stori is entitled to deliver the products in parts and is entitled to require payment for each partial delivery.

7. Payment

Stori accepts payments via iDeal, MaterCard, VISA, American Express, PayPal, Bancontact/Mister Cash and SOFORT Banking.

8. Privacy of the buyer

Stori treats all personal data received from the buyer as personal and confidential. Stori uses the personal data for the execution of the agreement and the payment and delivery of the products. Stori is also authorised to use the personal data for its own promotional activities, such as the Stori newsletter;

Stori shall not disclose the buyer's personal data to any third parties other than parties involved in the payment and shipment of the products.

9. Right of withdrawal

When purchasing products, the consumer has the option of dissolving the agreement without giving reasons for a period of 14 days. This reflection period commences on the day after receipt of the product by the consumer or a representative appointed in advance by the consumer and announced to the operator;

If the buyer wishes to exercise the right of withdrawal, the buyer may only unpack or use the products to the extent necessary to assess whether he or she wishes to keep the product. During this period, the buyer shall handle the products and packaging materials with care. The buyer shall return the products with all delivered accessories and, as far as possible, in the original packaging;

If the buyer does not act in accordance with paragraph 7.2., or if the price tag has been removed or the products are otherwise not returned in their original condition, Stori is not obliged to refund the purchase price to the buyer.

10. Costs in case of withdrawal

If the consumer makes use of his or her right of withdrawal, at most the costs of returning the goods shall be borne by the consumer;

If the consumer has paid an amount, the operator shall refund this amount as soon as possible, but at the latest within 14 days after withdrawal. However, this is subject to the condition that the product has already been received back by the merchant or conclusive proof of complete return can be provided. Reimbursement shall be made via the same payment method used by the consumer, unless the consumer expressly consents to another payment method;

In the event of damage to the product due to careless handling by the consumer himself/herself, the consumer is liable for any reduction in value of the product.

11. Defective products

In case the products do not meet the reasonable requirements of the products, the buyer must immediately report this to Stori, but in no case later than 14 (fourteen) calendar days after delivery of the products. If the buyer fails to comply with the provisions of this paragraph, any right of reimbursement and/or any other possible claim for damages shall lapse;

The fact that a product is defective shall under no circumstances entitle the buyer to suspend payment or to set it off against the invoice amount to be paid for any other products delivered to the buyer.

12. Liability

In all cases, liability of Stori arises as a result of attributable failure in the execution of the agreement only if the buyer gives Stori a legally valid written notice of default with due observance of a reasonable recovery period and if Stori continues to fail imputably in the fulfilment of its obligations after that period. The notice of default must contain as complete and detailed a description of the shortcoming as possible to enable Stori to respond adequately;

Stori is only liable for losses directly resulting from foreseeable and avoidable shortcomings for which it is responsible and which are directly related to the production and delivery of the products;

Any obligation to pay damages, on whatever grounds, shall at all times be limited to the price of the product;

If and insofar as compensation or payment under the conditions of the previous paragraph, for whatever reason, is not applicable, any obligation (legal or otherwise) of Stori to pay compensation shall be limited to the value of the order in question.

13. Risk

The risk of - among other things - loss or theft of or damage to the products passes to the buyer at the moment when the buyer, or someone acting on the buyer's behalf, actually takes possession of the products.

14. Force majeure

If Stori fails in any obligation towards the buyer, such failure cannot be charged to Stori in case of force majeure as referred to in Article 6:75 of the Dutch Civil Code;

Force majeure includes (but is explicitly not limited to) fire, disturbances, strikes organised by a recognised association and acts or failure to act by governments, including municipalities (such as import restrictions);

All provisions of this paragraph apply mutatis mutandis to the force majeure of Stori's suppliers and/or any third parties involved in the production and delivery of the products. All cases of failure and/or late and/or defective execution by the parties mentioned in this provision shall be considered as force majeure of Stori.

15. Intellectual property rights

All intellectual property rights relating to the products, as well as all other documents and materials supplied by Stori, are exclusively owned by Stori. The buyer does not acquire any (user) rights and/or other powers.;

The buyer declares not to infringe in any way on the intellectual property rights of Stori or to invalidate these rights and/or endanger the ownership of these rights.

19. Choice of law and forum

These general terms and conditions and any agreements related thereto shall be governed exclusively by Dutch law;

All disputes between the parties arising from or otherwise related to agreements or these general terms and conditions shall be resolved in mutual consultation as much as possible.
