Article 2 Definitions

A number of definitions are used more often in these general terms and conditions. We would like to briefly explain these definitions below.

By the terms we, us and our, we mean Amsterdam Cosmetic Clinic, as described in article 1 of these conditions. We are the user of these general terms and conditions. Our Cosmetic Clinic and / or the (para) medics, (semi-permanent) make-up artists, beauticians and assistants working there are also known as the (health)care professional; the legal person or natural person who concludes a (medical) (treatment) agreement with you in the exercise of his / her ((para) medical) profession or company.

With you we mean the other party, the legal entity or the natural person, whether or not acting in a profession or company and to whom Amsterdam Cosmetic Clinic makes an offer and / or with whom Amsterdam Cosmetic Clinic has a (medical) (treatment) agreement concluded or wishes to conclude.

With parties, we mean you and us together.

A treatment agreement is the agreement for a medical or cosmetic treatment, whereby the (health)care professional commits him/hereself to another person to carry out actions in the field of medicine (Art. 7: 446 BW). We also call the person whose person the actions relate directly to, the patient.

A day means a calendar day and not a working day.

Written is for us on paper or by e-mail.

When we speak about a service and / or activities, we mean, among other things, but not limited to:

  • Carrying out (cosmetic) treatments;
  • Applying treatment methods;
  • The sale of (cosmetic) products;
  • Providing advice;
  • Provision of information.

The right of withdrawal is the possibility for you (consumer) to withdraw/cancel your distance contract within a period of 14 days, the so-called reflection period. This distance contract is a contract concluded by parties within the scope of an organised system for distance selling products and/or services, whereby exclusively use is made of one or more technologies of distance communication up to conclusion of the contract through one or more remote communication techniques. With a distance purchase, we are not (or have been) in the same room at the same time.

Article 3 Applicability

These general terms and conditions apply to all our offers, including all (medical) (treatment) agreements that we conclude with you. These general terms and conditions also apply in the event of additional work or a follow-up agreement. Before the agreement is concluded (distance contract), we will provide you with these terms and conditions.

Deviation from these terms and conditions is only possible if the parties agree explicitly and in writing. If the parties agree, the deviation only applies to the agreement for which the deviation has been agreed. You cannot rely on that deviation for other (future) agreements with us.

We may unilaterally amend or supplement these general terms and conditions. We are always allowed to make changes and / or additions, of a minor nature and / or of minor importance. We will discuss changes and / or additions, major in nature and / or demonstrably to your disadvantage with you in advance.

Your (general) terms and conditions, where applicable, are explicitly rejected.

Our general terms and conditions also apply if the services of third parties are used in the execution of the agreement.

If one or more provisions of these general terms and conditions are at any time partially or completely void or annulled, the other provisions will remain fully applicable. The parties will enter into consultation to agree on new provisions, to replace the annulled or voided provisions. The purpose and scope of the original provisions will be respected as much as possible.

Article 4 Our offer

On our website, you will find all (medical/cosmetic) treatments that are carried out by Amsterdam Cosmetic Clinic. In addition to our treatments, you will find our range of (cosmetic) products in our Webshop as well as in the clinic. We provide you with all the necessary (detailed) information, so that you know exactly what you choose for and what you pay for. More specifically, this concerns:

  • The price including taxes;
  • All necessary information regarding the treatment and the associated treatment methods;
  • All necessary information regarding the products (in our Webshop);
  • The way in which the (treatment) agreement will be concluded and which actions are required for this;

Images of (Cosmetic) products in our Webshop are always indicative. We can never guarantee that the displayed colors exactly match the real colors of our products. 

If there is an obvious error or mistake in our offer, we are not bound by this.

Article 5 Procedure, prior permission and treatment agreement for (cosmetic) treatments

After we have received your request (by telephone, email, WhatsApp, social media or through our booking system) for one of our treatments, we will contact you to make a consultation- and / or treatment appointment. You will receive a confirmation message via SMS and / or email. We also ask you to complete a questionnaire in advance (not applicable for semi-permanent make-up) so that you can inform us in time about all necessary (medical) information, which may be important with regard to the treatment.

Together with the questionnaire, we will send you the treatment agreement (not applicable for semi-permanent make-up). Before entering into and through the treatment agreement, we will inform you about:

  • The consultation appointment or the treatment appointment, which always contains a consultation appointment;
  • The treatment and the associated procedures and methods to be carried out;
  • The possible results as well as any possible consequences (risks) of a treatment;
  • Whether there are alternatives for the desired treatment;
  • The expected number of treatments and the associated price;
  • Whether there is a possible intervention from the health insurer;
  • All necessary information and/or instructions for you that are or may be important before, during and after the treatment.

We will only start with a treatment after we have received your explicit and written permission for this.

We do not carry out cosmetic procedures on minors. If you are a minor, you are very welcome in our clinic for an age-related skin treatment, including an acne treatment. If you are between 12 and 16 years old, we also need the consent of your parent(s) who exercise(s) authority or, if applicable, of your guardian, in addition to your permission.   From the age of 16, you are also very welcome for a treatment for semi-permanent make-up. We only need your permission for this. 

Article 6 Agreement

An agreement is only concluded:

  • As soon as you accept the offer in the clinic and/or in the Webshop on our website, whereby you accept the payment obligation and agree to our terms and conditions as well;
  • After you have accepted the treatment agreement and these general terms and conditions in writing as well and confirmed to us in writing and you have met any conditions set.

Unless the parties agree otherwise, the agreement ends:

  • By operation of law, after the parties have fulfilled their (mutual) obligations under the agreement, whereby the invoice has been paid by you;
  • When the (Health) care professional concerned is of the opinion that there are valid reasons to terminate the agreement prematurely.

Unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing, an agreement is entered into for an indefinite period.

All agreements are entered into under the suspensive condition (s) of (sufficient) availability of:

  • (health) care professional(s) for the execution of the desired treatment;
  • The desired products.

 

Article 7 Allergy

Although our treatment and cosmeceutical brands take the utmost care in developing the products, unfortunately, in exceptional cases, an allergic reaction can occur when using them. Because each person is unique, an allergic reaction cannot be accurately predicted in advance. Therefore, always try a small amount of a product on a non-visible area before using the product. A renewed or modified product should always be tested again before it is used.

Unfortunately, because Amsterdam Cosmetic Clinic cannot predict whether an allergic reaction will occur, Amsterdam Cosmetic Clinic is not responsible for it. In case of an allergic reaction, Amsterdam Cosmetic Clinic can always be contacted if there are any questions.

Article 8 Execution of the agreement, delivery and best efforts obligation

We execute the agreement according to the requirements of good workmanship, whereby we retain the freedom to fulfill the assignment as we see fit.

We may, without you having to give your prior consent, use (the services of) third parties in the execution of the agreement.

We execute the agreement on your behalf. Third parties cannot derive any rights from (the content of) the work performed and / or products delivered by us, under whatever name or title.

It is your responsibility to provide us with all relevant data and information in a timely manner, which we indicate that we need for the execution of the (treatment) agreement or of which you should reasonably understand that we need it for the execution of the (treatment) agreement. In the meantime, we have the right to suspend the execution of the agreement. If costs arise from this, we have the right to charge you for these.

At our request, you must identify yourself with a legally recognized proof of identity.

We have the right to refuse to carry out a treatment, in accordance with the legal regulations.

If you have placed an order in our Webshop, you will receive a (digital) confirmation of receipt from us as soon as possible. Even if we unexpectedly cannot process or only partially process the order, we will inform you as soon as possible. We will also exercise the greatest possible care when executing orders for products. Upon delivery, the address that you have provided to us is the place of delivery.

The risk of damage to or loss of products that you purchase in our web store lies with us until the products are delivered to the previously communicated address.

We all have a best efforts and delivery obligation. We can therefore never guarantee that our treatments and / or products meet your expectations and / or will lead to a certain result. After all, expectations are personal and tastes can differ. You are therefore not entitled to (damage) compensation if our treatments / products do not meet your expectations or the result is not the result you intended.

No rights can be derived from our planning.

Article 9 Changes to the assignment

If you want to change and / or supplement the agreement, please let us know as soon as possible (preferably in writing). Every change and / or addition is treated as an additional assignment. We will first let you know whether and, if so, what costs we will charge for this. It is up to us to determine whether we can and will implement the change and / or addition. Changing and / or supplementing an agreement can have consequences for the possible implementation and delivery period (s).

If during the execution of the agreement appears that there are circumstances whereby the agreement must be amended or supplemented, we will inform you as soon as possible and we will enter into consultation with you. If a change or addition has financial consequences, we will also discuss this with you first.

Article 10 Right of withdrawal

If you have placed an order in our online store, you have the option of dissolving the agreement without giving reasons within 14 days. This cooling-off period starts the day after you, or the representative we have previously notified, received the products.

We expect you to treat the product and its packaging with care during the cooling-off period. We expect you to handle the product and packaging with care during the cooling-off period. Products that have been removed from their packaging or have been used cannot be returned because the value of the product has dropped to €0.

Returns will not be accepted if:

  • The product has been used;
  • You have tried to repair a defect yourself;
  • The user manual and/or instructions for use have not been followed.

If you make use of the right of withdrawal, you return the product to us in its original condition and packaging as much as possible. You are allowed to send it by post, but you are also very welcome in our clinic.

Article 11 Costs in case of withdrawal

The costs for the return are for your account.

If we have received the product(s) on time and undamaged, we will refund you no later than 14 days after cancellation. We will make the refund via the same payment method that you used at the time of the purchase, unless you give permission for another payment method.

In the event of damage or if you have handled the product (s) carelessly, you are liable for any decrease in value, unless you have not received all legally required information about the right of withdrawal from us. This must be done before the conclusion of the purchase agreement.

Article 12 Exclusion of the right of withdrawal

With delivered products that are not suitable to be returned for reasons of health protection or hygiene and of which the seal has been broken after delivery, the right of withdrawal is excluded. If this is the case, we will inform you in advance (before the purchase).

Article 13 Prices and payment

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all prices are:

● Including VAT;

● If applicable, exclusive of any shipping / delivery costs;

● Excluding any other government levies;

● Excluding any (additional) costs that we (have) had to incur when carrying out the assignment.

We have the right to adjust our prices / rates of both the treatments and our products in the meantime.

In principle, you will receive our invoices digitally.

Orders placed in our Webshop will be paid by you immediately via a secure online payment environment.

If we ask you to pay (part of) the invoice (for a treatment) in advance, we will start the execution of the agreement as soon as we have received the advance payment on our account. Advance payments are deducted from the total invoice. You have to pay the remainder of a treatment at the clinic on the day of and after your treatment. Preferably, you pay by pin.

If we agree that you may pay afterwards, we will apply a payment term of 14 days, counting from the invoice date, unless we explicitly agree otherwise with you. You must transfer the full amount, including VAT, to our bank account within the payment term.

It is possible that the execution of an agreement takes longer than 30 days or that the execution is carried out in stages. We may also agree on payment in installments. In that case, you will receive an interim invoice per phase / per term, whereby we apply a payment term of 14 days.

If you do not pay on time, we will point this out to you. Then you will receive a further period of 14 days to fulfill your payment obligation. If you still have not paid by then, you will owe the statutory interest on the outstanding amount after the expiry of those 14 days until you still pay the amount. We also charge you for the extrajudicial collection costs incurred by us.

These collection costs amount to a maximum of:

  • 15% on outstanding amounts up to € 2,500.00
  • 10% on the subsequent € 2,500.00
  • 5% on the next € 5,000.00
  • Each time with a minimum of € 40.00

As long as you have not yet or not fully paid the invoice, we retain full ownership (retention of title) over all products delivered and/or to be delivered. Any damage and / or destruction of these goods are entirely at your risk and expense.

Article 14 Intellectual property right and right of use

Intellectual property right is a collective term for rights established on a work. They protect the person who created the work against the use, copying or exploitation of that work by others without the permission of the creator.

All intellectual property rights arising from the agreement belong to us. This also applies to concepts and / or proposals that have not been implemented. You may not copy or exploit any of our expressions, our services (treatments) and / or our products without our explicit and written permission.

Unless the work does not lend itself to this, we have the right to have our (company) name mentioned on or with the work or to have it removed. 

Article 15 Suspension, termination and cancellation of the agreement

Our booking conditions are applicable: https://www.amsterdamcosmeticclinic.com/en/booking

We have the right to suspend the agreement or to terminate it with immediate effect if:

● You do not, not fully or not timely fulfill your obligations with regard to the agreement;

● After entering into the agreement, we have become aware of circumstances that give us good reason to  

    fear that you will not fulfill your obligations;

● Due to delay on your side, we can no longer be expected to fulfill the agreement under the originally 

    agreed conditions;

● If circumstances arise of such a nature that fulfillment of the agreement will be impossible.

If we can attribute the suspension or termination to you, then we have the right to recover any damage we suffer as a result from you.

If we cannot attribute the suspension or termination to you and if no treatments and / or products have been delivered by us yet, but you have already transferred a (down) payment to our account, we will refund this (down) payment within ten days to your account. 

In the event of liquidation, a (application for) suspension of payments or bankruptcy, of seizure on your side or if you rely on debt rescheduling, i.e. you can no longer freely dispose of your assets, then we are free to cancel the agreement immediately and with immediate effect. In that case, we do not owe you any compensation. Any claims we have on you will become immediately due and payable in the aforementioned situations.

To cancel a distance contract with regard to our Webshop, you, the consumer, can use the right of withdrawal in accordance with article 9.

To cancel a (treatment) agreement, you can send us an email after the conclusion of the agreement to info@amsterdamcosmeticclinic.com. We have the right to charge a cancellation fee of 50 euros for this.

For canceling consultations and / or treatment appointments, less than 48 hours in advance, we charge a minimum cancellation fee of 50 euros. If you cancel less than 24 hours before the appointment or if you do not appear or appear too late for the appointment, we have the right to charge you the full amount for this appointment / treatment, in addition to the cancellation costs. After all, we have reserved this time especially for you.

It is your responsibility to arrive on time. If you are late for whatever reason, we can no longer guarantee that the appointment and / or treatment can actually take place.

Article 16 Liability

An exception to this applies if a statutory regulation or court decision requires disclosure or if you have given us your explicit and prior consent for this.

The obligation of confidentiality continues after termination of the agreement for as long as the party that provided the information can claim the confidential nature of the information.

The duty of confidentiality also applies to employees of the clinic and any third parties engaged from each party.

All data regarding your treatments are carefully stored by us in a personal file. You can request to destroy your file upon request.

If destruction is not requested, the said medical data will always be kept for a minimum period of 20 years or for as much longer as reasonably ensues from the care of a good care provider. We always calculate from the moment the data was created.
