The Seller reserves the right to change these GTC. He will inform the users of the Curfyt website and the Buyers by publishing a message on this page. By continuing to use the Curafyt website or continuing to purchase the Products after the change of the GTC, the Buyer accepts the new GTC replacing the previous one.

1.3. These GTC apply to both professional buyers and consumers. For the purposes of these GTC, consumer means any natural person who acts for purposes that are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.

1.4. If the Buyer is a professional buyer, the applicability of the Buyer's general terms and conditions is expressly excluded, even if they were communicated at a later date than these GTC.

The seller reserves the right to request proof of age of any user of the Curafyt website. The seller can block access for any user if he believes that he does not meet the above criteria.

2.1. The Order is an offer from the Buyer to the Seller to purchase the Products listed in the Order. The Seller may send an order confirmation to the Buyer confirming the proper receipt of the order and showing the details of the order (the Order Confirmation). Unless the Order Confirmation explicitly states otherwise, the Order Confirmation only confirms that the Seller has received the Order but not that the Seller accepts the Buyer's offer to purchase the Products.

2.2. Only when the Seller explicitly confirms the Agreement with the Buyer, the Seller accepts the Buyer's Order. Such confirmation of the Agreement occurs either in writing, prior to or together with the shipment of the Products, or may be inferred from the delivery of the Products to the Buyer.

3.1. The applicable prices are those displayed on the Seller's website at the time of the Order, even though the Buyer has seen other prices or promotions on the Seller's website or catalog at a different time. When processing an Order, the Seller checks whether there have been unintentional errors in the prices displayed on the website. If the actual price of a Product is higher than the price displayed on the website at the time of the Order, the Seller may cancel the Order or the Seller may inform the Buyer of the correct price and may invite the Buyer to place a new Order to place at the right price.

3.2. Unless expressly stated otherwise, all prices are in EUR and include VAT and other taxes. Prices do not include delivery costs. Separate costs apply to additional services requested and confirmed by the Buyer.

If the Seller draws up an invitation to pay which is not paid by the Buyer within the agreed term of payment, the Seller may dissolve the Contract in which case the Seller shall have no further obligation to deliver the Products or, if the Products have already been delivered, the Buyer shall have to pay the relevant sum as well as the payment delays specified below.
