2. The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products offered. This description is sufficiently detailed so as to enable the consumer to make a fair assessment of the offer. If the entrepreneur uses illustrations, they will be a true reflection of the products and/or services offered. Apparent mistakes or errors in the offer do not bind the entrepreneur.

  • any delivery costs;
  • the manner in which the agreement will be concluded and what actions are required for this;

  • the method of payment, delivery and execution of the agreement;
  • the term for accepting the offer and/or the term during which the price remains valid;
  • the level 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 agreement is archived afterwards, the manner in which it can be consulted by the consumer;
  • the manner in which the consumer can inform himself of any undesired actions before conclusion of the agreement, as well as the manner in which he can rectify these prior to the agreement being formed;

  • the minimum term of the distance contract, in the event of an agreement that stipulates the ongoing or periodic supply of products or services.
