- If the distance agreement is concluded electronically, notwithstanding the previous article and before the distance agreement is concluded, the text of the general conditions/terms can be made available electronically to the consumer in such a way that the text can be saved in a simple way on a durable medium. If this is reasonably not possible that before the distance agreement is concluded it will be indicated where the consumer can find the general conditions/terms electronically and that these conditions/terms at the consumer’s request will be sent electronically or otherwise to the consumer without extra cost.

Article 3 – Our offer and your order
- If an offer has a limited validity or has other specifications, this will be emphatically mentioned.
- The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the offered products and services. The description is sufficiently detailed to enable a proper consumer’s assessment of the products/services. The images used by the entrepreneur are true representations of the products and services. Obvious mistakes and errors do not bind the entrepreneur.

- Possible costs of delivery
- The manner in which the agreement has been concluded and the necessary signatures
- Whether to apply the right of withdrawal
- The method of payment, delivery and performance of the contract
- The deadline for accepting the offer or the period within which the entrepreneur guarantees the price
- The level of the rate for distance communication if the costs for the usage of the technology for distance communication are calculated on another ground than the regular fare for communication

- The minimum duration of the distance agreement in the event of a length transaction.
- The order and the agreement between us and the customer are completed as from the moment that the order is confirmed by email and the payment through credit- or debitcard is confirmed by the card provider. We accept payment via PayPal or online banking. In case the card provider declines your payment to us, we will not be responsible for any time delay for your delivery and/or non-delivery of your order. Orders without valid payment in the name of the registered cardholder will not be accepted or processed.
- To purchase a product, the customer adds the product to the checkout. Afterwards the contact details and billing details need to be filled in by the customer. Subsequently or at the same time the customer chooses the mode of delivery. The customer confirms their order by clicking “confirm”.
- When the customer’s payment is late/overdue or we have noticed payment issues with the customer’s previous orders, Antwerp Avenue reserves the right to rescind an agreement.
