Unless otherwise agreed in writing or by digital communication, all provisions apply in full.<\/p>\n<p>1.2 Registration with the Slim Academy system is free of charge.<\/p>\n<p>1.3 The other party is deemed to provide truthful information at all times.<\/p>\n<p>1.4 The other party is personally and unconditionally responsible for his\/ her account.<\/p>\n<p>1.5 Placing an order means that the other party accepts the applicability of these Terms and Conditions; the other party agrees to this during the ordering process.<\/p>\n<p><b>Article 2 \u2013 Product and infringement of intellectual property <\/b><\/p>\n<p>2.1 Ownership of the delivered products only passes once the other party has paid everything owed to Slim Academy under the agreement. However, the risk does pass to the other party at the moment of delivery.<\/p>\n<p>2.2 Slim Academy strives for optimal quality of its products. Slim Academy, its employees and authors, or others associated with Slim Academy, accept no liability whatsoever for any errors or consequences, of whatever nature, arising from a report. A report is a supplement to attending classes, not a replacement.<\/p>\n<p>2.3 Copying, in whole or in part, as well as reproducing the content of delivered products, in any form whatsoever, is prohibited without the prior, written and express permission of Slim Academy.<\/p>\n<p>2.4 The other party or third parties must fully and unconditionally respect all intellectual and industrial property rights vested in the delivered products. Failure to do so constitutes one or more offences under articles 33 and 34 of the Dutch Copyright Act 1912 (Auteurswet 1912). Slim Academy will be obliged to report this to the police and will impose one or more fines, which will accrue to Slim Academy for the purpose of paying the authors.<\/p>\n<p>2.5 All supplements and updates of products are only available for the academic year concerned. Slim Academy is not liable for damage resulting from the removal of supplements, updates and online courses after the end of the academic year.<\/p>\n<p><b>Article 3 \u2013 Prices <\/b><\/p>\n<p>3.1 Prices stated on the website include VAT.<\/p>\n<p>3.2 Price changes and typing errors are reserved. No rights can be derived from the information on the websites managed by Slim Academy.<\/p>\n<p>3.3 Slim Academy reserves the right to change prices, in particular when this proves necessary on the basis of (statutory) regulations.<\/p>\n<p><b>Article 4 \u2013 Orders <\/b><\/p>\n<p>4.1 Slim Academy is not liable for misunderstandings, distortions, delays or improper transmission of orders and notifications resulting from the use of the internet or any other means of communication in dealings between the other parties and Slim Academy, or between Slim Academy and third parties, insofar as relating to the relationship between the other parties and Slim Academy, unless there is intent or gross negligence on the part of Slim Academy.<\/p>\n<p>4.2 Slim Academy reserves the right to refuse delivery to customers in view of doubtful debtors or orders that are not serious.<\/p>\n<p>4.3 Orders for paper summaries placed before 19.00 will be shipped by Slim Academy on the same day, provided the products are available. Orders for digital products will be made available online immediately.<\/p>\n<p>4.4 Slim Academy is entitled to engage third parties in the execution of orders.<\/p>\n<p><b>Article 5 \u2013 Delivery <\/b><\/p>\n<p>5.1 Without prejudice to its other rights, in the event of force majeure Slim Academy has the right to suspend the execution of the order or to dissolve the agreement without judicial intervention, by notifying the other party electronically, without Slim Academy being obliged to pay any compensation. Force majeure means any failure that cannot be attributed to Slim Academy because it is not due to its fault and is not for its account by virtue of the law, a legal act or generally accepted views.<\/p>\n<p>5.2 The stated delivery times are indicative. Exceeding any delivery period does not entitle the other party to compensation, nor to cancel the order or dissolve the agreement, unless the delivery period is exceeded, despite a timely order, to such an extent that the other party does not receive the products in time due to intent or gross negligence on the part of Slim Academy. Only in that case is the other party entitled to cancel the order or dissolve the agreement, insofar as this is necessary. If the ordered products have not been delivered 3 (say: three) days after ordering with direct debit, the other party is entitled, on a one-off basis, to have the order sent again. The other party is reminded to enter personal details correctly.<\/p>\n<p>5.3 The other party must ensure that the order is placed in good time before being able to invoke article 5.2.<\/p>\n<p>5.4 Slim Academy is not liable for goods delivered incorrectly, not at all or late by third parties, unless this is due to intent or gross negligence on the part of Slim Academy. We refer to the postal service complaints procedure in article 6 of these General Terms and Conditions.<\/p>\n<p>5.5 Slim Academy is entitled to engage third parties in the execution of orders.<\/p>\n<p><b>Article 6 \u2013 Complaints procedure for postal service reports <\/b><\/p>\n<p>6.1 The complaints procedure consists of two parts:<\/p>\n<p>1. The complaint must be submitted digitally to PostNL customer service (available via: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.postnl.nl\/voorthuis\/klantenservice\/klacht.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">http:\/\/www.postnl.nl\/voorthuis\/klantenservice\/klacht.aspx<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>2. The complaint to Slim Academy must be submitted in writing or by electronic mail, with a copy of the complaint to the TNT complaints service.<\/p>\n<p>6.2 Complaints received by Slim Academy will be bundled and passed on to TNT Post. However, Slim Academy disclaims liability pursuant to article 5.4 of these General Terms and Conditions.<\/p>\n<p>6.3 To improve this postal service, Slim Academy will actively work to reduce the number of orders that do not arrive or do not arrive correctly.<\/p>\n<p><b>Article 7 \u2013 Licence for digital documents and online courses<\/b><\/p>\n<p>7.1 The digital documents and online courses offered are the property of Slim Academy. Slim Academy grants the other party a limited, non-exclusive licence for personal, non-commercial use of the digital documents and online courses based on the products purchased by the other party. This licence is valid until the end of the academic year in which the product was purchased. If a subscription has been purchased and this subscription is cancelled before the end of the academic year, the licence expires upon cancellation.<\/p>\n<p>7.2 The material made available is intended for personal use only. The online account grants a limited, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use the material. It is not permitted, for any reason whatsoever, to transfer copies of the content or to give your password to any other person.<\/p>\n<p><b>Article 8 \u2013 Subscriptions<\/b><\/p>\n<p>8.1 The subscription agreement is entered into for a minimum term equal to the term stated on the website at the time of ordering. If no term is stated, the minimum term is 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>8.2 After the minimum term, the subscriber may cancel the subscription agreement subject to a notice period of one month. The notice period starts on the first day of the following month.<\/p>\n<p>8.3 A subscription agreement is automatically renewed when the end of the academic year is reached. When the subscription is automatically renewed, it is converted into a subscription for the next bachelor&#8217;s year. If it concerns a subscription for the final bachelor&#8217;s year, upon renewal the subscription will be converted into a Lifetime subscription. All these subscriptions are paid services, where the monthly subscription fee may change due to different numbers of booklets.<\/p>\n<p><b>Article 9 \u2013 Diamond Subscriptions<\/b><\/p>\n<p>9.1 If, contrary to expectations, a course is not offered, a Diamond Subscriber cannot claim it. Nor can any claim be made to receive a discount.<\/p>\n<p>9.2 A Diamond Subscription does not guarantee the availability of sufficient course places. A subscriber cannot claim compensation or a discount if insufficient course places are available.<\/p>\n<p>9.3 If a Diamond Subscriber does not confirm a registration for the course via the confirmation email sent, the subscriber will automatically be deregistered from the course.<\/p>\n<p><b>Article 10 \u2013 Authorisation<\/b><\/p>\n<p>10.1 By placing an order with Slim Academy, the other party instructs and authorises Slim Academy, where necessary, to arrange shipping in the name and for the account of the other party.<\/p>\n<p>10.2 Goods are delivered to the address under which the other party is registered with Slim Academy. The other party is referred to article 1.4 of these General Terms and Conditions.<\/p>\n<p><b>Article 11 \u2013 Returns <\/b><\/p>\n<p>11.1 Upon delivery of goods, the customer will check whether they correspond with his order. If this does not comply with the agreement, the other party must notify Slim Academy thereof without delay, and in any case within 14 days after delivery, in writing or digitally, stating reasons.<\/p>\n<p>11.2 It is not possible to cancel an order that is being processed, except in the situation described in article 5.2. In the event of cancellation, the other party will receive a coupon worth the value of the cancelled order. This coupon is valid for up to one calendar year after issue, to be redeemed on an order at Slim Academy.<\/p>\n<p>11.3 Goods sent unsolicited may be returned at the expense of Slim Academy. The other party or third parties are reminded to enter personal details correctly.<\/p>\n<p><b>Article 12 \u2013 Payment and any reminders <\/b><\/p>\n<p>12.1 When choosing direct debit, the other party authorises Slim Academy to make a one-off debit of the amount associated with the order.<\/p>\n<p>12.2 If direct debit has proved impossible, for whatever reason, the other party will be notified of this by means of a reminder as soon as possible after Slim Academy has established this.<\/p>\n<p>12.3 The reminder is sent in writing and\/or digitally to the address of the other party as provided by the other party to Slim Academy. The other party is referred to article 1.4 of these General Terms and Conditions.<\/p>\n<p>12.4 If Slim Academy sends the other party a payment reminder, the other party must pay the amount specified in the reminder within 10 (say: ten) days of the date of the reminder and in the manner indicated in the reminder.<\/p>\n<p>12.5 If payment has not been made within 10 (say: ten) days of the date of the first reminder, the other party will again be summoned to pay the amount due within 14 (say: fourteen) days. The amount due may be increased by an amount of at least 5 (say: five) euros in administration costs.<\/p>\n<p>12.6 If payment has not been made within 14 (say: fourteen) days after the second reminder, the other party will be blocked in the Slim Academy ordering system.<\/p>\n<p>12.7 If payment by or on behalf of the other party has not been made within the period set in article 12.6, Slim Academy is entitled to transfer its claim to third parties.<\/p>\n<p>12.8 If Slim Academy transfers its claim to third parties for collection, all associated costs will be borne by the other party.<\/p>\n<p>12.9 Payments made by the other party after the summons will be deducted first from the costs owed and then from the principal sum.<\/p>\n<p>12.10 The block of the other party in the Slim Academy ordering system will be lifted immediately after payment.<\/p>\n<p><b>Article 13 \u2013 Non-payment <\/b><\/p>\n<p>13.1 In the event of non-payment by the other party, Slim Academy reserves the right to refuse future orders from this customer.
