2.3 Koper en Versus Kiteboarding komen uitdrukkelijk overeen dat door gebruik te maken van elektronische communicatievormen een geldige overeenkomst tot stand komt.

De elektronische bestanden van Versus Kiteboarding gelden, voor zover de wet dat toelaat, hierbij als een vermoeden van bewijs.

2.4 Informatie, afbeeldingen, mededelingen mondeling, telefonisch of via email verstrekt en opgaven et cetera met betrekking tot alle aanbiedingen en de belangrijkste kenmerken van de producten worden zo nauwkeurig mogelijk (weer)gegeven of gedaan.

6.2 Indien de Koper van het herroepingsrecht zoals vermeld in het vorige lid gebruik heeft gemaakt, dan draagt Versus Kiteboarding zorg voor terugbetaling binnen 30 dagen van het door de koper aan Versus Kiteboarding betaalde. De kosten voor het terugzenden van het product zijn voor rekening van de Koper.
