(2) We reserve the right to change these terms. Any proposed changes will be communicated to you at least seven (7) days in advance. If you object, you can terminate your agreement via your HelloFresh account or through our contact options on our website (https://www.hellofresh.nl/contact-page/), respecting the deadline for changes, pausing, cancelling and revoking which can be consulted via the FAQ or via your account (hereinafter referred to as: the ‘deadline for changes’). If you do not cancel your subscription before the effective date of the updated terms and continue using our products thereafter, you will be deemed to have accepted the updated terms.
3. The Offer
(1) The products or services offered, including the prices indicated, are considered non-binding offers that you can accept.

(2) Our offer includes a comprehensive and accurate description of the products/services. However, HelloFresh cannot be held responsible for any apparent mistakes in the descriptions of the Products and services offered.

(3) Our offer is aimed at end-users in the Netherlands. Ordered products, like our meal kits, gift cards, and/or other services, are not for resale. Only household-sized orders are accepted.
4. Formation of Agreement
(1) To place an order, you must create an account so that we can manage your order and preferences. This will also allow you to place future orders more quickly and easily. You must specify your meal preferences in your account. If you do not select meals or change preferences by the change deadline, meals will be auto-selected. You can also add various products and/or extra meals for an additional charge in your account.

(2) After creating an account, you can fill in and confirm the online order form provided by HelloFresh as part of the ordering process. By completing the online order form, you submit an offer to HelloFresh, the receipt of which is immediately confirmed electronically. However, this order confirmation does not automatically constitute the agreement to the offer and no contract is concluded directly.

(3) HelloFresh reserves the right to reject the offer without reason until the change deadline. The right to deliver the ordered meal kits/services arises after the change deadline and acceptance by HelloFresh. HelloFresh may refuse any offer under circumstances described in Articles 3.3 and 13.2.

(4)Agreements can be indefinite or for a specific time.

(5)To create a HelloFresh account and place an order, you must be eighteen (18) years or older. HelloFresh does not sell or deliver products to minors.

(6) Occasionally, HelloFresh may surprise you with extra products like samples or third-party offers. However, receiving these extras does not entitle you to any rights or claims, even if promoted through our channels/social media.
5. Your Obligations
(1) All information you provide to HelloFresh at any time, such as during the ordering process, must be accurate and truthful. Your password must not be shared with third parties. You must keep the password secure and protected from unauthorized access and inform us in writing of any loss or sharing. You are fully responsible for any misuse, such as unauthorized orders using your password by third parties, and the resulting claims. HelloFresh is not liable for any damage resulting from incorrect information and/or loss of your password, and you agree to indemnify and hold HelloFresh harmless against any claims, demands, or actions brought by third parties.

(2) You are required to carefully read and observe the product labels, instructions, and warnings provided with the delivered products. HelloFresh is not liable for any damage resulting from not following product labels, instructions, and warnings, and you indemnify HelloFresh against any third-party claims.
6. Delivery
(1) The delivery time windows displayed in your customer account, on the website, in the app, and in the confirmation email are estimates. The selected delivery day and/or time window may be subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances, force majeure events, or holidays.

(2) In certain cases, HelloFresh may charge extra for delivery within a specific time window. Extra costs incurred for the delivery of the products you ordered will always be communicated in advance when choosing the time window.

(3) We reserve the right to deliver your products with a deviation of thirty (30) minutes. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee delivery times. If we are late, we are not liable for late deliveries.

(4) We reserve the right to deliver only after 50% of the total amount of the order has been paid. When prepayment is required, you cannot claim any rights regarding the execution of the order until the prepayment has been made.

(5) We deliver everywhere in the Netherlands. If the agreement involves a gift card, voucher, or discount code, it will be sent via email.

(6) We deliver to the address you have specified in your customer account on our website as the delivery address. An address change takes effect for the delivery when you notify us before the change deadline.

(7) You must ensure that personal delivery of the products is possible at the specified delivery address and during the specified time window. If delivery is not possible, you are in default regarding acceptance; any costs or damages are your responsibility.

(8) If personal delivery of the products is not possible, the agreement can be fulfilled by offering the products to neighbors or placing them at the front door. You can specify this as a delivery note in your customer account. Delivery in this manner is entirely at your risk, and HelloFresh is not responsible for the possible spoilage or disappearance of the products. The delivery note is not binding, and HelloFresh may deviate from it, for example, in the case of (extreme) weather conditions where the quality of the products can no longer be guaranteed or in other force majeure cases (§11(5)).

(9) For deliveries of orders containing alcohol (< 15%), we always reserve the right to request valid identification if there is doubt about the age of the person to whom the order is delivered. Age verification applies at least to persons up to 25 years old. Valid identification includes a national passport and a European identity card. If the minimum age requirement cannot be met, our delivery person is entitled to take back the order or not to deliver it.
7. Prices and Shipping Costs
(1) Prices include VAT and shipping costs within the Netherlands unless otherwise stated.

(2) For certain and/or additional products, such as (additional) fresh products (like the Fruitbox) and Premium dishes, a surcharge applies. The additional prices are listed and charged when saving the products you have chosen.

(3) The claims of HelloFresh are due immediately.

(4)Payments can only be made using the payment methods agreed upon and specified at the time of the order. You are required to pay within the agreed payment term.

(5) HelloFresh is entitled to adjust prices at any time, provided that we notify you at least fourteen (14) days in advance. If you object to the changed price, you have the option to terminate or cancel the agreement, for example, by using the contact option on our website (https://www.hellofresh.nl/contact-page/) within the specified deadline for the change. If you do not terminate or cancel the agreement, and you continue using our products/services from the announced effective date of the changed price, the changed prices will apply from that moment on.

(6)If you want to receive weekly meal kits again on a subscription basis after cancellation, you will pay the prevailing (new) prices at that time.
8. Payment
(1) Orders are charged via the payment method you have provided. You can add additional payment methods to your customer account at any time. We use these if the payment via your preferred method does not work.

(2) It is your responsibility to ensure that your payment method details are valid and current. We accept iDeal, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Klarna Pay Later.

(3) If you choose to pay via iDeal during the ordering process, we first verify your payment method, and the full amount is then debited via SEPA direct debit. You also authorize Adyen B.V. and Braintree (acting for HelloFresh) to send recurring SEPA direct debit orders to your bank to debit an amount from your account.

(4) If you choose to pay via PayPal, Apple Pay, or credit card during the order process, the amount will be continuously debited from your PayPal account or credit card.

(5) It is your responsibility to ensure that you have sufficient balance in your bank account at the time of payment.

(6) If you disagree with a SEPA direct debit as referred to in §8(3) or a payment via PayPal or credit card as referred to in §8(4), you can have it reversed under the conditions agreed upon between you and your bank. Contact your bank within eight (8) weeks after the debit. Ask the bank for the conditions.

(7) If you pay with Klarna Pay Later, you always receive the products first and have a payment term of fourteen (14) days. With Klarna Pay Later, delivery to an address different from the specified billing address is not possible. More information and the full terms of Klarna Pay Later can be found at https://www.klarna.com/nl/voorwaarden/. No payment details are needed with Klarna Pay Later.

(8) If a payment order cannot be executed due to insufficient balance, incorrect or outdated payment details, and/or other disputes, orders can still be delivered. In such cases, HelloFresh will retry the payment. We reserve the right to recover the outstanding amount by re-executing the payment via the specified payment method or additional payment methods in your customer account.

(9) If the attempts to re-execute the payment do not succeed, we reserve the right to recover the debt in another way, either directly or via a third party. We reserve the right to interrupt or cancel future orders when payments remain due. If you do not pay the amounts due on time, as indicated in the correspondence, a penalty of three (3) euros per reminder may apply. The management and follow-up of late payments can be transferred to a collection agency. The collection costs will be charged to you.

(10) HelloFresh is entitled to suspend the execution of the agreement, such as delivering meal kits, if you do not fully meet your payment obligations.
9. Pausing and Canceling
(1) HelloFresh orders products weekly in advance of delivery for your agreement. In all cases, when pausing and canceling, you must pause or cancel the agreement before the change deadline to avoid ordering (and thus delivery and payment obligations) of the next meal box and any additional fresh products. If you pause or cancel the agreement before the change deadline, you will not receive products the following week. The deadline for changes also applies to any other modifications to the agreement.

(2) You can pause an agreement at any time. This means skipping the delivery of your products for a week. Delivery resumes the next week unless you pause again. You must notify us of the pausing of your agreement before the change deadline via your account.

(3) If you have entered into a membership for weekly delivery of the meal box, this is an agreement for an indefinite period. You can cancel an agreement for an indefinite period at any time. You must notify us of the cancellation of your agreement before the change deadline via your account. The cancellation of the agreement will then take effect.

(4) If you order another (additional) fresh product with your meal box or a one-time meal box, this constitutes a fixed-term agreement. An agreement for a fixed term is not automatically renewed but stops automatically. If you ordered a one-time (additional) fresh product or a one-time meal box but do not wish to receive it, you must notify us of the cancellation before the change deadline via your account. The cancellation of the fixed-term agreement will then take effect.

(5) You can cancel the agreement in the same way it was entered into; additionally, you can always cancel via one of the contact options on our website (https://www.hellofresh.nl/contact-page/) or via your online account. For technical reasons, you can only cancel the first meal box you receive through customer service (https://www.hellofresh.nl/contact-page/).
