"SinterklaasShop.com" and all rights, titles and interests in the Site are the
exclusive property of "SinterklaasShop.com". Copying all or any parts of the

B. PROVISIONS GOVERNING THE ISSUANCE OF ORDERS AND CONCLUSION OF CONTRACTS
Article 1. Acceptance of General Terms and Conditions
Once a user (the "Customer") has filled out the Site order form and confirmed
the order then this will result in the full and binding acceptance of these General Terms
and Conditions which will be the only terms applicable to the contract thereby entered
into.
Article 2. Order confirmation and conclusion of contract
The Site contains at all times a commercial offering to sell certain Products, but this
shall not be construed as a legally binding permanent offer. Thus, as explained below, a
contract is only concluded when and if the order is confirmed by
"SinterklaasShop.com". Once the payment has been confirmed in accordance with
Article 3 of these General Terms and Conditions, the order is accepted by
"SinterklaasShop.com". "SinterklaasShop.com" will confirm the
acceptance of orders. "SinterklaasShop.com" reserves the right not to accept
payment, and therefore not to confirm, for whatever reason, any order, including but not
limited to reasons resulting from product supply, a problem with the order received, or a
problem in completing the delivery.
Article 3. General Obligations of the parties
3.1 Obligations of "SinterklaasShop.com" undertakes, once the order has been
accepted, to sell the products set forth on the order (the "Products") and to
deliver the Products ordered to the address indicated by the Customer. In relation to the
above, "SinterklaasShop.com" undertakes to place the Products with the carrier
of its choice not later than 5 working days after the order has been accepted.
3.2 Obligations of the Customer The Customer shall clearly indicate the address to which
the Products are to be delivered during business hours. The Customer undertakes to pay the
stated price for the "SinterklaasShop.com" Product delivery (price of the

additional amount that might arise due to custom duties, value added tax or other taxes
due upon import into the country where the Products are delivered.
Article 4. Specific Provisions

"SinterklaasShop.com" on the order is definitive. The Price includes: the price
of the Products, handling costs, packaging and transport. No custom duties or value added
taxes shall be due for deliveries in the European Union. The Price will be in US dollars,
any amounts stated in other currencies being only for the purposes of estimating the price
in another currency. Payment will only be accepted by Bank Credit Card. Debit cards like
Switch or VISA Electron will not be processed. Once the order has been accepted, the
Customer will be charged in US dollars or Euros. At the express demand of the Customer,
"SinterklaasShop.com" will issue an invoice. The Customer must indicate the
address where the invoice is to be sent.
4.2 Transport - Delivery - Delivery Schedule Unless the Customer has failed to make
payment for any reason, the Products will be delivered to the address indicated within a
period of four (4) to thirty days (only working days taken into account). The delivery
time given to the Customer by "SinterklaasShop.com" may vary depending on the
country involved. In case delivery is made and nobody is at the indicated address to
accept delivery, the carrier shall leave a note indicating that it was unsuccessful in
making the delivery and that the Customer should come to recover the Products at a
location specified by the carrier. "SinterklaasShop.com" will not, for any
reason, be held liable for any deterioration in the Products due to a Customer's failure
to collect the Products in a timely manner.
4.3 Transfer of Risk The transfer of risk of the Products takes place when
"SinterklaasShop.com" gives the Products to the carrier.
4.4 Qualification upon Receipt - No returns - Limited Rights to Reimbursement /

no later than twelve (12) hours after the claim was made. With the claim, the Customer
shall supply the carrier's confirmation of the validity of the Customer's claim. No
returns of Products will be accepted. If the above procedures are respected, and the claim
is proven to be valid due to the packaging and the Products being seriously damaged,
"SinterklaasShop.com" at their choice will either reimburse the Customer the
Price or replace the Products at SinterklaasShop.com’s expense. If the delivery is
not in conformity with the quantity ordered, "SinterklaasShop.com" will
reimburse the difference in the price between the Products ordered and those delivered
only if those delivered are sold for less than those ordered and paid for. No claim will
be accepted with respect to the taste, appearance or freshness of the Products.
