What we offer
- If our offer has limited validity or is subject to certain conditions, this will be explicitly stated in the offer.
- Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the availability of products and online services offered on our website. We have the right to withdraw a product or online service at any time.
- 3. We have done our best to describe the products and online services we offer as accurately as possible. However, it may happen that certain information on this website is not entirely accurate and/or complete. If our offer contains an obvious mistake or error, we cannot be held responsible for this.
Conclusion of agreement
- An agreement is concluded when you accept our offer and meet the conditions set by us. In other words, the agreement between you and Schilderles is concluded:
a) when you agree with our offer by indicating your choice on our website and completing the order, and you have received an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order (the order confirmation);
b) If you register for an (online) course and/or workshop and have received a confirmation email from us;
c) If we may reasonably consider your behavior as (impression of) consent.
Your account

Right of withdrawal for consumers
- It can happen that you regret your online purchase. If you have made a purchase through our website (as a consumer), you sometimes have the right to cancel your order. In principle, you have the right to withdraw from your order, without giving reasons, during a period of 14 days after the day the contract is concluded. In the case of a consumer purchase this period commences on the day after the product was received by the consumer, or a third party designated by the consumer, who is not the transporting party, or:
a. if the consumer has ordered several products: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by the consumer, received the last product;
b. if the delivery of a product involves different deliveries or parts: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by the consumer, received the last delivery or the last part;
c. with contracts for the regular delivery of products during a given period: the day on which the consumer, or a third party designated by the consumer, received the first product. - There are some exceptions to the right of withdrawal. For example, the right of withdrawal is precluded in the following cases:
a. Service contracts, after full completion of the service, but only if implementation started with the explicit prior agreement of the consumer and the consumer declared having lost his right or withdrawal as soon as the trader had completed the contract in full;
b. Contracts relating to leisure activities, if the contract already stipulates a certain date or period of implementation;
c. The delivery of digital content other than on a material medium, but only if the delivery commenced with the consumer’s explicit prior agreement and the consumer declared that this implied his having lost his right of withdrawal. - Do you want to make use of your right of withdrawal? You can use the model withdrawal form for this or inform us in some other unequivocal way (for example, by sending an email to us). Of course we would like to understand why you want to revoke the agreement, but you are under no obligation to state your reason(s).
- The right of withdrawal applies only to consumers and therefore not to businesses.
Execution of the agreement
- Professional clients cannot cancel the agreement prematurely. If the consumer wants to cancel a contract for services (overeenkomst van opdracht) prematurely, the provisions of the Dutch law on canceling contracts for services (article 7:400 Dutch Civil Code et seq.) apply, unless otherwise provided in these terms and conditions.
- We are allowed to engage third parties for the execution of the agreement. Articles 7:404 and 7:407(2) of the Dutch Civil Code will expressly not apply to the assignment. Article 6:76 of the Dutch Civil Code is also expressly excluded.

- We may change the (content of the) course at any time and / or add to it. A change or addition does not give you the right to a refund or compensation, except when it is a substantial change.

- Scheduling classes must be done through the Punchpass booking system. Available spots are assigned in order of receipt of registration. You will receive a confirmation of this. You cannot participate in a class without a reservation.

Prices and payment conditions
- During the period of validity stated in the offer, the price(s) of the product(s) offered will not be increased, except in the event of price changes as a result of changes in VAT tariffs.
- The payment methods that we offer are listed on our website. Do you pay on our website with iDEAL? Then the transactions will be processed by the payment service provider Stripe. This means that we share your necessary (personal) data, such as payment details, with Stripe. You understand and accept this.
- The prices listed on our webshop are “final prices”. This means that they are inclusive of statutory VAT and other levies imposed by the government. Prices communicated to professional clients are exclusive of statutory VAT.
- If you fail to fulfill your payment obligations in a timely manner, we shall first inform you of the late payment and grant you an additional term of 14 days within which to fulfill your payment obligations. If you fail to fulfill your payment obligations within this additional term, we are entitled to charge the statutory interest on the amount still owed and extrajudicial collection costs that it incurs. These collection costs will amount to a maximum of: 15% of outstanding amounts up to € 2.500,= 10% of the subsequent € 2.500,= and 5% of the following € 5.000, with a minimum of € 40,=. We can diverge from the stated amounts and percentages if this is in your benefit.
- Our prices may change. However, such changes will not affect any order you have made and for which we have already sent you an order confirmation. For price increases more than 3 months after the contract was concluded, the consumer has the right to terminate the contract.
Liability
- Our liability for damages suffered by the consumer, resulting from an attributable failure in the performance of the agreement, is limited to direct damages. Please note, however, that we do not exclude liability for personal injury or death of the consumer as a result of an act or omission of Schilderles Amsterdam.
- Should Schilderles Amsterdam be held liable for any direct damage, its liability will be limited to the amount paid out by the insurer of Schilderles Amsterdam, plus the amount of its excess under such policy.
- Our liability for any direct or indirect damage, suffered by the professional client, resulting from an attributable failure to comply with the agreement, an unlawful act, or otherwise, is excluded.
- Please note that, during a workshop or course, materials will be used that can cause damage to clothing, belongings, and so on. Schilderles Amsterdam is not responsible for this. Therefore it’s not the best idea to show up for a painting course in your amazing (new) dress.
- Schilderles Amsterdam is not liable for any damage and/or theft of your property (which includes paintings).
- The limitation of liability as set out in the preceding sections, does not apply if and insofar as the damage is caused by the deliberate act or gross negligence on the part of Schilderles Amsterdam.
- Any claim against Schilderles Amsterdam expires within 12 months after the agreement has come to an end.
Force majeure
- Is there a case of force majeure? Then we cannot be held to fulfill our obligations towards you. But what exactly is force majeure? Force majeure is any circumstance, foreseen or unforeseen, over which we have no control and which prevents us from reasonably fulfilling our obligations. For example: due to corona measures it is temporarily not possible to enjoy a painting course. You will be entitled to compensation for the classes that you won’t be able to enjoy. We may choose to offer you an alternative (such as an online course, extension of course validity or a voucher for example), but you are under no obligation to accept this.
We are very sorry to hear you have a complaint
- We are very sorry to hear you have a complaint We are very sorry to hear that. Complaints about the performance of the agreement must be submitted to us within a reasonable time after you have found the defects and should be clearly defined. We appreciate it when you report a complaint on the day itself (for example during a course or workshop), so we can respond immediately.
- You will receive a response to your complaint within 7 days at the latest (counting from the date of receipt of the complaint). If it is not yet possible to provide a substantive or definitive response within this period, we will confirm the receipt of the complaint within 7 days at the latest and indicate the period within which we expect to be able to provide a substantive or definitive response to the complaint.
- If we consider the complaint to be well-founded, we will come up with a reasonable solution as soon as possible.

- We would like to show your beautiful creations on our social media channels and/or webshop. As such, we will ask for your permission before, during or after the course or workshop.
Competent court, applicable law
- Do we have a conflict? Then it’s good to know that all disputes related to the agreement will be submitted to the competent Dutch court in the district where Schilderles Amsterdam is located. Within one (1) month after we have invoked the jurisdiction of this court in writing, the consumer has the option to choose the competent court according to the law to settle the dispute.
