About these terms. These general terms and conditions (these "Terms") apply to the sale of products to consumers through the Philips MyCreation website (the "Site") for delivery in the Netherlands. These Terms may be amended by Signify at any time, at its own discretion, without prior written notice. Changes to the Terms only apply to orders placed after such changes. Please read these Terms before purchasing products through the Site. Please read Signify's Privacy Statement before placing an order for products through this Site (see Section 9).
Placing your order. By placing an order, you enter into a valid, binding and enforceable agreement with Signify to which these Terms apply. Signify will send you an email confirming your order, the order number and information about the items you have ordered. Although Signify will make every effort to deliver the products listed in the order confirmation, it may happen that Signify cannot deliver the products, for example because (i) such products are no longer being produced, are out of stock or are no longer available, (ii) Signify is unable to purchase relevant parts or (iii) the price is based on a mistake. In such cases, Signify will contact you and make a proposal for alternative products that you can purchase (for the same or a different price). If the price is based on a mistake, Signify will notify you of the correct price. If you do not agree with the replacement or modified price proposed by Signify, Signify will cancel the order and refund any amount you may have already paid for the order.
Prices. All prices, discounts and promotions published on the Site are subject to change without notice. The prices are in euros. The price charged for a product is the price shown at the time you click the order button, and it will be stated on your invoice. Price increases only apply to orders placed after such changes. For consumers in the European Union, the product price listed includes VAT and excludes shipping costs. The costs for shipping the products are at your expense unless we explicitly state on the Site that we bear these costs. If we charge shipping costs, we clearly specify the amount on our Site and during the order process. Signify strives to provide accurate price information, but may sometimes make unintentional typographical errors or inaccuracies or omissions regarding pricing and availability. Signify reserves the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions at any time. When paying by credit card, the total amount for your entire order will be shown on your credit card statement in the currency of your country.
Paying for Your Products. The payment terms are fully under the responsibility of Signify and unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by Signify or stated on the Site, Signify must receive payment at the time you place your order. You can pay for your products using the payment methods offered as payment options at the time of payment. You declare that (i) the credit card information you provide to Signify is true, accurate, and complete, (ii) you are duly authorized to use the credit card for the purchase, (iii) payments made by you through your credit card company will be honored, and (iv) you will pay for payments made by you at the published prices as described in Section 3 above. Payment facilitation. Signify has entered into an agreement with an external service provider, Shopify Payment, to provide certain payment processing services, including credit card processing, currency exchange, identity verification, fraud analysis, and regulatory compliance. As a result, it is possible that Signify may provide your personal or transaction data to this external service provider when necessary to provide these services. The transfer of personal/transaction data is subject to both Signify's Privacy Policy, as set forth in Section 9 below, and the privacy policy of this external service provider. You can find it here: https://www.shopify.nl/juridisch/privacy
Delivery of Your Products. Signify arranges for the shipment of the products to you (but not the installation). You will find the specific delivery options on the relevant product page. Signify may deliver your orders in multiple shipments. Ownership of the product is transferred to you from (a) your payment to Signify or (b) our delivery of the products to you, whichever occurs last. The risk of loss and damage to the products is transferred to you at the time of delivery. Shipment and delivery dates are approximate and cannot be guaranteed. Signify is not responsible for any delays in shipping. We will contact you if there is a delay. If you do not agree to the later delivery, you may cancel the order free of charge and receive any prepaid amount back in the same manner as you paid for the order. You are not entitled to compensation for late or non-delivery. Signify uses a carrier for the delivery of the products. Once the carrier has received the products, Signify will send you an email with a tracking number so that you can track your delivery. At this time, we only deliver to the countries listed on the Site. We do not accept orders for delivery to another country.
Your right to return products. After receiving the product, you have a cooling-off period of fourteen (14) days during which you can inform us, without giving any reasons, that you have changed your mind and wish to exercise your right of withdrawal. For orders of multiple products that are delivered at different times, the cooling-off period begins when you receive the last product of your order. Contact us via www.mycreation.lighting.philips.nl/contact if you decide to cancel your purchase.
You must return the products as soon as possible, but in any case within fourteen (14) days of your cancellation notice. You can find all relevant information about our return policy in your order confirmation. Once we have received your cancellation notice, you will receive confirmation. The risk of loss of products during transportation is at your expense.
You only have to pay the shipping costs for the return shipment if we explicitly stated this at the time of purchase.
You will receive the amount you paid for the products and any return shipping costs you paid within fourteen (14) days of your cancellation notice, provided that we have received the products within that period or that you have sent us proof of return shipment. We will use the same payment method for the refund as you used to pay us. We reserve the right to deduct an amount for depreciation from the total refund amount. Depreciation occurs if the product or packaging is damaged and/or the product is visibly used. The basic principle here is that you may view the product as you would in a store. We will contact you if we believe that an amount for depreciation is justified.
In addition to, and without prejudice to, any legal rights of withdrawal/cooling-off periods, Signify agrees to a return of products (except products designated as final sale or non-returnable on the Site) against a refund of your purchase price provided such return is made in accordance with the applicable period as set forth in the Signify Return Policy, which you can find at: www.mycreation.lighting.philips.nl/returns, accompanied by a valid purchase receipt and provided such products are returned in their original condition. Go to the relevant information about returning your products on the Site to initiate the return process.
For returns of damaged products, refer to the manufacturer's warranty (see Section 7) that you received with the product or the information in the product description on the Signify Site.
Warranty. Contact us if there is a problem with your product. Then we can determine together whether you still have a right to legal warranty or perhaps to our additional warranty. Below you will find an explanation of Signify's Standard Product Warranty. Signify's standard product warranty is an addition to, and does not affect, your legal rights as a consumer under applicable law. If Signify offers additional warranty, Standard Product Warranty, this will be indicated on the warranty certificate you received with the product or published on the Site as the standard warranty applicable to the product ("Standard Product Warranty"). For all products sold by Signify that do not fall under an applicable Standard Product Warranty, Signify warrants that the hardware components of the product are free from material and manufacturing defects that cause the Product not to work in accordance with the specifications provided by Signify, taking into account the overall performance of the product and based on a maximum of 3 hours average operating time per day for 7 days a week, for two (2) years from delivery to you. Signify does not provide any warranty for software elements in the products or for third-party products. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Signify provides no warranty for products, software, applications, or services.
Goods not intended for resale or export. Certain transactions may be subject to export or import control laws and regulations that prohibit or restrict the (re)export or transfer of certain items to certain countries, entities, or individuals, such as the laws and regulations of the UN, EU, and US ("Export Controls"). The applicable Export Controls of the relevant authorities responsible for Export Controls apply in all respects to the (re)export or transfer of products. If an export or import license is required for such (re)export or transfer or if the export or import is otherwise prohibited or restricted under the Export Controls, Signify may, at its discretion, suspend its obligations to you until such license is obtained or for the duration of the restrictions or prohibitions, or terminate (the relevant part of) the sale without in any way being liable.

Circumstances reasonably outside Signify's control. Signify will make every effort to fulfill its obligations as a result of an order confirmation.

In the event of delay, Signify will fulfill its obligations as soon as reasonably possible.
