The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products and/or services offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to enable the consumer to properly assess the offer. If the entrepreneur uses images, these are a true representation of the products and/or services offered. Obvious mistakes or errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur. 3. Each offer contains such information that it is clear to the consumer what rights and obligations are attached to accepting the offer. This concerns in particular: − the price including taxes; − any delivery costs; − the manner in which the agreement will be concluded and the actions required for this; − whether or not the right of withdrawal applies; − the method of payment, delivery or performance of the agreement; − the period for accepting the offer, or the period for adhering to the price; − the amount of the rate for distance communication if the costs of using the distance communication technology are calculated on a basis other than the basic rate; − if the contract is archived after it has been concluded, how it can be consulted by the consumer; − the manner in which the consumer can become aware of actions he or she does not want before concluding the contract, as well as the manner in which he or she can rectify these before the contract is concluded; − the possible languages in which, in addition to Dutch, the contract can be concluded; − the codes of conduct to which the entrepreneur is subject and the manner in which the consumer can consult these codes of conduct electronically; and − the minimum duration of the distance contract in the case of a contract for the continuous or periodic delivery of products or services.
