Terms of service
Article 1 – Definitions
-
CELIXÉ™ · Amsterdam, registered in Amsterdam under Chamber of Commerce number 98903810, is referred to in these general terms and conditions as the seller.
-
The counterparty of the seller is referred to in these terms and conditions as the buyer (consumer or business customer).
-
Seller and buyer are hereinafter jointly referred to as the parties.
-
The agreement means the purchase agreement concluded between the parties via the webshop or otherwise.
Article 2 – Applicability of these general terms and conditions
-
These terms and conditions apply to all offers, quotations, agreements and deliveries of goods and/or services by or on behalf of the seller.
-
Deviations from these terms and conditions are only valid if expressly agreed in writing by the parties.
Article 3 – Payment
-
The full purchase price is always paid immediately in the webshop at the time of placing the order, via one of the payment methods offered.
-
If the buyer fails to pay (on time), the buyer is in default by operation of law. In that case, the seller is entitled to suspend its obligations until the buyer has fulfilled all payment obligations.
-
If the buyer remains in default, the seller will proceed to collection. All associated (extra-judicial) collection costs are for the account of the buyer and are calculated in accordance with the applicable Dutch regulations on collection costs.
-
In the event of liquidation, bankruptcy, attachment or suspension of payments of the buyer, all claims of the seller on the buyer become immediately due and payable.
-
If the buyer refuses to cooperate with the execution of the agreement (for example by providing incorrect data or being unreachable for delivery), the buyer remains obliged to pay the agreed price.
Article 4 – Offers, quotations and price
-
All offers are non-binding, unless a period for acceptance is expressly stated in the offer. If the offer is not accepted within this period, the offer lapses automatically.
-
Any delivery times stated in offers, on the website or in other communications are indicative only and do not entitle the buyer to dissolution or compensation if exceeded, unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.
-
Offers, promotions or discounts do not automatically apply to repeat or subsequent orders, unless expressly agreed in writing.
-
Prices stated in offers, quotations and invoices include VAT and any other applicable government levies, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Article 5 – Right of withdrawal (consumer)
-
Consumers have the right to withdraw from the agreement within 14 days after receiving the complete order, without giving any reason (right of withdrawal/cooling-off period), in accordance with applicable EU consumer law.
-
The 14-day period starts on the day after the consumer, or a third party indicated by the consumer (other than the carrier), has received the product.
-
The consumer must always register the return via the CELIXÉ™ return portal as stated on the website. Returns that have not been registered via the return portal may be refused.
-
There is no right of withdrawal for:
-
Products made to the consumer’s specifications or clearly personalised;
-
Products which are not suitable to be returned for reasons of health protection or hygiene, and whose seal or hygiene seal has been broken after delivery (for example: opened skincare and cosmetic products).
-
-
The consumer may use a model withdrawal form made available by the seller. The seller will provide this upon request or refer to the model form on the website.
-
During the cooling-off period, the consumer must handle the product and its packaging with care. The consumer may not use the product and may not break the seal. If the consumer exercises the right of withdrawal, the consumer must return the unused, unopened and undamaged product with all accessories, preferably in the original shipping and product packaging, in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by the seller.
Article 6 – Changes to the agreement
-
If during the performance of the agreement it becomes apparent that it is necessary to amend or supplement the agreement in order to ensure proper execution, the parties will mutually agree on such changes in a timely manner.

Changes or additions to the agreement may affect the delivery time. The seller will inform the buyer of this as soon as possible.
-
If changes or additions have financial and/or qualitative consequences, the seller will inform the buyer of these in writing in advance.
-
If the parties have agreed on a fixed price, the seller will indicate to what extent the change or addition to the agreement will lead to an adjustment of this price.

partially or fully credit the purchase price of the product.
