#3 PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND CANCELLATION
The purchase contract is concluded when the customer submits an offer to the publisher via an electronic order, which the publisher accepts by sending the goods. The customer will receive an order confirmation by email.
Products that have been ordered but are not yet available for delivery will be reserved.
Physical goods:
You are entitled to revoke the purchase contract within fourteen (14) days after delivery of the order. To exercise your right of withdrawal, it is sufficient to send a written cancellation by post or email to the publisher before the expiry of the cancellation period.
If you cancel your order, we will refund all payments we have received from you, including delivery costs (except for additional costs from chosen delivery types other than the delivery we offer), within fourteen (14) days of receiving your declaration of cancellation. You will be reimbursed by the same method with which you made your payments, unless another method was agreed upon with you, and you will not be charged for this reimbursement.
You must return the goods to us immediately and send the goods no later than fourteen (14) days from the day on which you notify us of the cancellation. You will carry the direct costs of returning the goods. We may refuse repayment until we have received the goods back from you or until you have provided proof that you have returned them.
If the goods are returned with damages due to bad handling or packaging, you will not be reimbursed.
The right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts
These provisions regarding the right of cancellation apply only to consumers who do not conclude the respective agreement for business purposes or in relation to self-employed professional activities.

Products ordered shall be delivered to the address provided by the customer, or, if the items cannot be delivered to this address or be deposited in a post box, an alternative address indicated in writing, specifying how the addressee can take possession of the items. Upon delivery, the customer is liable for the items. Archis is not liable in case of failure by the customer to collect the delivered items or by the shipping agency to make a successful delivery.

Archis retains the right to terminate the contract with the customer, with immediate effect and without prior notice, by means of a written notification, if:
#7 DIGITAL ISSUES: OWNERSHIP, RIGHTS AND RESTRICTIONS
For orders of digital content (eBooks, PDF files, software, audio or other digital files), the publisher does not provide the customer with ownership. In this case the customer acquires a simple, non-transferable right, revocable before full payment of the license fee, to use the offered title for personal use. The contents of these digital files may not be changed by the customer in terms of content or editing, subject to deviating mandatory legal regulations.
The digital content can only be accessed in the format provided by the publisher. It is your responsibility to create the technical conditions for the use of the files, in particular with regard to the hardware and operating system software used. Any costs incurred for the internet connection shall be borne by you. Your purchase does not entitle you to physical possession of the digital content. The price includes only the use of the content.
For the use of our digital content you will receive download instructions. Sharing your access data with third parties is not permitted. Access to digital content is limited to one (1) user only and maximum two (2) downloads per order. The files are protected against editing and copying, and printing on the files is restricted to low-resolution and watermarked versions only.
The digital contents offered by the publisher are legally protected, in particular by copyright and ancillary copyright. With the retrieval of digital content, you receive a simple, non-transferable (in particular non-sublicensable) license to use the digital content exclusively for private and non-commercial use. You are not entitled to exploit the publisher’s content beyond the use permitted in this grant of rights.
#8 IMAGES
We have been careful to contact all copyright holders of the images used. If you claim ownership of any of the images presented in the site or in any of the offered products, and have not been properly identified, do not agree to the treatment of the images or would like to propose an agreement, please contact Archis and we will be happy to respond accordingly.
#9 STATUTORY LIABILITY FOR DEFECTS
The presence of a defect does not entitle the customer to any suspension or reduction of his payment obligations in regard to the product. If there is a defect in the purchased item for which Archis is responsible, we are entitled to choose between rectification of the defect or replacement delivery. If the rectification of defects or replacement delivery fails, the customer is entitled to withdraw from the purchase contract or to demand a price reduction.
If you receive a package containing goods that are different from those ordered by you, or items that are defective, the cost of returning these goods will be refunded to you. You must return the goods to us without delay with a description of the defect and a copy of the invoice. Carriage forward shipments will not be accepted.
Archis is only liable for intent and gross negligence.
#10 SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION
In the event that individual provisions of an agreement are or become invalid in part or entirely, the remaining contract remains in effect.
Dutch law exclusively applies to all legal relations Archis is a party in. The applicableness of the CISG is excluded.
All disputes related to the Contracts concluded by Archis with the customer shall be brought before a court in the Netherlands with proper jurisdiction
#11 DATA PROTECTION
See our detailed Privacy Policy.
#12 FORCE MAJEURE
In the case of circumstances beyond the control of Archis, Archis shall not be obligated to perform its obligations to the buyer; dates by which such obligations are scheduled to be met shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period of time lost through the delay caused by such circumstances.
Circumstances excusing Archis from performing all or part of its obligations are those that occur completely beyond the control of Archis. This includes disruptions caused by telecommunication failures, including the short- and long-term unavailability of internet sites or the fact that a product ordered by the customer is temporarily unavailable from Archis or its supplier.
