4. Returns
4.1 In the case of a consumer purchase, in accordance with the Distance Selling Act (Article 7:5 of the Dutch Civil Code), the customer has the right to return (part of) the goods delivered without giving any reason. The consumer has 14 days from the day after receiving the goods to inform Retro Game Collector of the decision to revoke the agreement (the model withdrawal form for consumers can be directly downloaded below this block). Once notified, the consumer has another 14 days to return the goods. If the customer has not returned the delivered goods after this period of time, the purchase will be considered concluded. The customer must prove that the delivered goods have been returned in time, for instance by means of a proof of postal delivery.
The goods must be returned in the original packaging (including accessories and related documentation) and in the same condition as before purchase (cfr. pictures of the offer). If the goods have been used, encumbered or damaged in any way by the buyer, the right to rescind within the meaning of this paragraph will lapse. Subject to the provisions of the preceding sentence, Retro Game Collector will ensure that within 14 days after receipt of the return shipment the full purchase price including the calculated shipping costs will be refunded to the customer. The return of the delivered goods will be entirely at the customer’s expense and risk. Please note that sealed games may not be opened! These are sold as collectors items.

6.2 As a consumer, you must inform the seller of the defect as soon as possible and in any case within two months from the day you discovered the defect.

6.4 Please note that sealed games may not be opened! These are sold as collectors items and must be returned in their original state.
6.5 In the case of the sale of multiple consumer goods, if the conformity issue only concerns part of them and if there is a ground for dissolution of the purchase agreement, the consumer may exercise their right of dissolution only for the non-conforming goods and the conforming goods acquired at the same time, if it cannot reasonably be expected that the consumer wishes to retain only the conforming goods.

8.2 In the event of force majeure, Retro Game Collector reserves the right to suspend its obligations and is also entitled to terminate all or part of the agreement or to demand that the content of the agreement is changed in such a way that execution remains possible. In no event shall Retro Game Collector be held to pay any fine or compensation.
8.3 If Retro Game Collector has already partially fulfilled its obligations at the time the force majeure occurs, or can only partially fulfil its obligations, Retro Game Collector is entitled to separately invoice the goods already delivered or the part which can be delivered and the customer is required to pay this invoice as if it were a separate contract. However, this does not apply if the part already delivered or deliverable has no independent value.
