5. The Order
Summary:
You place an order after going through the configuration process and by clicking the "pay now" or similar button. If you have an account, you won’t need to provide your personal data again. All payments and deliveries are processed by third party providers. Note that we will not process your order before we receive payment confirmation. Also, due to the fact that all our products are custom made, you will not be able to cancel or change your order. You may, however, return your Formify sample sets. Default shipping is currently only available for The Netherlands, Belgium. Contact us in case you wish to ship internationally.
5.1. An Order is submitted once the User: (i) determines the Product Specification and (ii) presses a clearly marked button rerouting him to the payment page. The User submits an Order by following subsequent steps within the Service. In case an Order is submitted by a User who has not concluded an Agreement, sec. 2.2 to 2.7 of these Terms shall apply during the Order and to the data provided during the Order. The Orders can only be placed for Products to be shipped to The Netherlands and Belgium. Contact us for delivery in other countries.
5.2. Once the Order has been placed:
a) the Provider is obligated to provide the User with a Product suitable for use, non-defective and finished in accordance with the final Specification, and
b) the User is obligated to pay the final price of the product. For all Users within the European Union, the final Product price indicated in the Service is gross (i.e. includes VAT). The final product price will be displayed in a currency accordant to the region in which The User is shopping. The Provider is not responsible for exchange rates or fees applied to the final product price and product assembly cost, should The User choose to make payment in a currency different than the indicated region-specific final price.
5.3. Before submitting an Order the User receives information on available payment methods. All payments made within the Service are processed solely by Stripe BV, a company with its registered office in Girth 542, 1017AZ, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, entered into a commercial register maintained by the Kamer van Koophandel in Amsterdam under no. 66626641 (the "Broker"). During the placement of the Order, once Specification is determined and Basic Data has been provided, the User is redirected to the Broker’s website in order to select the payment method and pay for the Order.
5.4. Once the Order is submitted, the User will receive an e-mail confirming the Order’s final Specification and its acceptance by the Provider. At this point a contract for a sale of the ordered Product has been concluded between the Provider and the User (the “Purchase Agreement”) and the Order, the Specification, as well as, the Purchase Agreement itself, may not be amended.
5.5. The Provider will begin to execute the Order (i.e. initiate the Product’s production and delivery) immediately after confirmation of the User’s relevant payment is provided by the Broker. The User can track his Order using the dedicated tab in the Service.
5.6. The production process - from Users's order through to finished Product - can take up to 90 days. Once the production and packaging of the Product is complete the Product is turned over to a company providing transport, delivery or freight forwarding services (the “Deliverer”). The Deliverer delivers the Product to the User. The risk of damage to or loss of the Product is transferred upon the User once the Product has been duly delivered to the User.
5.7. Due to the fact that the Product is not prefabricated and is produced in accordance with the specification of the Dutch Consumer Rights Act, the User may only terminate the Purchase Agreement under the terms of sec. 8 below, of which the User will be informed prior to.
5.8. In special cases caused by the specific nature of the Order, in particular, high level of individualization and complexity of the project, numerous stages of the designing and production process, the obligation to use materials meeting quality requirements, the obligation to test the products to ensure their compliance with technical requirements, the Provider reserves the right to extend the deadline set in the Regulation. The Provider will immediately inform the User of the expected new delivery time, which will constitute an amendment of the terms of the Order.

7.7. The Provider will consider the Complaint within 14 (fourteen) days from the date of its receipt. Once this period lapses, the Complaint shall be deemed accepted.
7.8. If the Complaint is accepted, the Provider may remove the defect by replacing the Product (or its element) with a new one or by fixing it. The Provider may refuse to satisfy the User’s request to replace or fix the Product, whenever this is impossible or may be excessively costly when compared to other available remedies of the Product’s defects. In such a case, the Provider will propose other remedies in order to remove the defects referred to in the Complaint.
7.9. The Product’s return and replacement (as well as, other shipments of the Product – or its elements’ - resulting from the Complaint) shall be at the sole expense and risk of the Provider. At the User’s request, the Provider may provide the User with a proper shipment packaging.
