The agreement

These General Terms and Conditions apply to every Magazena Offer and every Agreement that may result therefrom. Terms or conditions of the Customer that deviate from an Offer from Magazena do not form part of the Agreement, unless Magazena has expressly accepted them in writing.

Each Offer from Magazena is without obligation, unless stated otherwise therein or in the accompanying letter.

All information, including images, product descriptions and price listings made known by Magazena regarding offers or features of Products, will be displayed as accurately as possible. Obvious mistakes, clerical errors or errors in an Offer, at the discretion of Magazena, are not binding on Magazena.

An Agreement is concluded (i) at the moment that the Client accepts an Offer from Magazena and Magazena has confirmed this acceptance in writing, or (ii) at the moment that Magazena has started to perform the Agreement after acceptance of the Offer by the Client.

Before the moment of confirmation as referred to in the previous paragraph, Magazena is entitled to verify an order in advance or to refuse it without stating reasons. Magazena will inform the Customer of the refusal of an order as soon as possible. If acceptance of an order from the Customer is not possible due to a certain Product, Magazena will enter into consultation with the Customer with a view to delivering a Product that is comparable in terms of price and quality.

If the Customer accepts the Offer after the expiry of the aforementioned term, Magazena is not obliged to accept this acceptance from the Customer. If Magazena nevertheless proceeds to acceptance, the Agreement will still be concluded. If the Customer does not explicitly agree with a Quotation from Magazena, but nevertheless gives the impression that it agrees (for example by having certain quoted Products delivered in advance), the entire Offer is deemed to have been accepted. The foregoing also applies if the Customer requests Magazena to deliver certain Products without waiting for a formal Quotation.
If, after acceptance of an Offer, it appears that the relevant Offer from Magazena is based on incorrect or incomplete information provided by the Customer, then Magazena has the right to adjust the Agreement accordingly.

Magazena reserves the right to dissolve the Agreement within seven (7) days after its conclusion. In that case, any amounts already paid by the Customer will be refunded as soon as possible, provided that the corresponding Products have not already been shipped or have been returned by Magazena in an undamaged condition.

2.Additional or different conditions;
