   • Cancellation after delivery: In accordance with Article 6:230o of the Dutch Civil Code, Consumers have a period of fourteen (14) days from the day after receipt of the last product of their order to exercise their right of cancellation without having to justify their reasons or pay penalties. If the fourteen (14) working day period expires on a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday, it is extended until the first following working day.
   • The cancellation period commences on the day after the one on which the Consumer, or a third party designated by the Consumer in advance who is not the carrier, received the product, or:
     1. if the Consumer placed a single order for several products: on the day on which the Consumer or a third party designated by the Consumer receives the last product;
     2. if the delivery of a product consists of different consignments or parts: on the day on which the Consumer or a third party designated by the Consumer receives the last consignment or the last part;
   • All products may be subject to cancellation, except those excluded by Article 6:230p of the Dutch Civil Code. Returned products must be intact and complete. During the cancellation period, the Consumer must handle the product and packaging with care. The Consumer will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to determine the nature, characteristics and operation of the product. The basic principle in this regard is that the Consumer may only inspect and use the product in the way that he would be allowed to do in a physical shop.
   • To exercise the right of cancellation, all Consumers have to do is to contact Steelcase by email at customer-support-nl@steelcase.com, by using the return form and by specifying name, email, phone, address to pick up the products that Consumer wants to return, the order number, and the delivery date of the product that Consumers want to cancel. We will send a confirmation of receipt of the notice of cancellation without delay after receiving this notice.

   • Following Consumers’ request for cancellation, Steelcase, in accordance with the legal provisions, will proceed to the refund of the purchase price of the products within a period of fourteen (14) days following the receipt of the withdrawal notice. Steelcase may deduct from the reimbursement the loss in value of any products returned, if the Products have lost value resulting from the unreasonable wear and tear of the product other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the products. We may make a deduction from any reimbursement for such loss in value of any Products we supply.
   • Steelcase will proceed to Consumers’ refund by using the same payment mean than for the purchase.
   • The risk and burden of proof with respect to the proper exercise of the right of cancellation within the applicable period of time lies with the Consumer.

• Customers are not able to return any of the purchased products, notwithstanding clause 7.a.

8. LIABILITY
   • Within the limits provided for by law, Steelcase’ liability for the delivered products is limited to the price of the defective or nonconforming products and we cannot be held liable for compensating indirect damages or any other financial prejudice suffered by you or a third party.
9. FORCE MAJEURE
   • We cannot be held liable for the non-performance of one of our obligations under the contract of sale when this non-performance is related to the occurrence of an event of force majeure in accordance with Dutch law and case law.
   • Force majeure is in any case understood to mean any situation in which we cannot exercise any influence and as a result of which we cannot reasonably fulfill our obligations, as well as, if not already included, government measures, quotas, industrial strike, (civil) war, danger of war, riot, occupation, illness, molestation, fire, water damage, flood, company occupation, defective machinery, disruptions in the supply of energy, storage and transport difficulties, suppliers' default on the goods required for the delivery of products and furthermore all circumstances, in which there is no reasonable reason (anymore) we can be expected to (further) fulfill our obligations towards the other party.

10. INTERIM TERMINATION
