Article 12. Right of withdrawal and returns
12.1 For purchases made via the website or app (distance selling), the Customer has the statutory right to withdraw from the Agreement within a cooling-off period of 14 Days without giving reasons. For Products, this period starts on the day after receipt of the Product; for Services, on the day after the conclusion of the Agreement.
12.2 Products purchased at the Location may also be returned within 14 Days. Products purchased at the Location must be returned at the Location.
12.3 To exercise the right of withdrawal, the Customer can use the contact form on the website, send an e-mail to info@physicalstudio.com, or use the return form (if supplied). Products purchased via the website must be returned to the address indicated on the website or on the return form.
12.4 The Customer shall return the Product with all accessories supplied, where reasonably possible in its original condition and packaging, and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by Physical Studio.

12.8 The right of withdrawal does not apply to Services that have been fully performed during the cooling-off period with the Customer's express prior consent, where the Customer has declared to waive the right of withdrawal, nor to the other statutory exceptions (such as sealed Products that are not suitable for return for reasons of hygiene and whose seal has been broken).
12.9 If, upon return, the Product proves to be damaged or deviates in any way from the Product originally sent, the reduction in value may be deducted from the amount to be refunded, unless the damage or deviation is the reason for the return.
Article 13. Customer's obligations during the cooling-off period
13.1 During the cooling-off period, the Customer shall handle the Product and its packaging with care. The Customer shall only unpack or use the Product to the extent necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Product. The guiding principle is that the Customer may only handle and inspect the Product as they would be permitted to do in a shop.
13.2 The Customer is only liable for any reduction in the value of the Product resulting from handling the Product beyond what is permitted under paragraph 1.
Article 14. Obligations within Physical Studio

15.4 The trainer is entitled to exclude a participant from (further) participation in a class or training session if the participant does not follow instructions, behaves unsafely, or if, in the trainer's opinion, participation poses a health risk to the participant or to others. In the event of exclusion due to failure to follow instructions or unsafe behaviour, there is no right to a refund for the class or training session in question.
15.5 Physical Studio is not liable for damage or injury caused by the conduct of other participants, except insofar as the damage is partly the result of a failure by Physical Studio to fulfil its duty of care.
15.6 Physical Studio is entitled to cancel or reschedule a class or training session in the event of insufficient registrations, unavailability of the trainer or force majeure. In that case, the participant retains the Credit used for the class or training session, or an equivalent alternative or refund will be offered.

Article 16. Cancellation of appointments

16.2 Appointments not cancelled at least 24 hours in advance may be charged. These costs are not reimbursed by the health insurer.

In that case, the Client or Customer will be informed as soon as possible and will be offered a new appointment free of charge, or the amount paid for the appointment will be refunded.
Article 17. Termination
17.1 Physical Studio reserves the right to refrain from (further) Treatments and to terminate the Agreement if circumstances arise of such a nature that continuation of the Treatment is impossible or the Treatment is, in Physical Studio's expectation, unlikely to lead to the desired result. The Client or Customer will be informed in good time if such a situation arises.
17.2 The Client or Customer reserves the right to refrain from (further) Treatment and to terminate the Agreement if circumstances arise of such a nature that continuation of the Treatment is impossible or the Treatment is unlikely to lead to the desired result.

Article 21. Complaints Policy
21.1 Physical Studio complies with the Dutch Care Quality, Complaints and Disputes Act (Wet kwaliteit, klachten en geschillen zorg, Wkkgz). If, as a Client, you have a complaint about the physiotherapy treatments, you must first discuss the complaint with Physical Studio.

As a care provider, Physical Studio may extend the handling of your complaint once by 4 weeks.
21.2 If you cannot resolve the matter together with Physical Studio, you can submit a complaint to various bodies.
21.3 Physical Studio is affiliated with the Royal Dutch Society for Physiotherapy (Koninklijk Nederlands Genootschap voor Fysiotherapie, hereinafter 'KNGF') and adheres to the complaints scheme drawn up by the KNGF for its members. Physical Studio makes every effort to treat you as well as possible. If a personal conversation does not produce the desired result, you can make use of the complaints scheme, with the support of an independent complaints officer, and if necessary of the Physiotherapy Disputes Committee (Geschillencommissie Fysiotherapie). More information about this complaints procedure can be found at www.defysiotherapeut.com.
21.4 If you have a complaint about something other than the physiotherapy, you must report the complaint or remark within a reasonable period after discovering a defective Product. The period for reporting is in any case 7 Days after discovery of the defect. This period starts from the moment the Client or Customer discovers the defect or should reasonably have discovered it.
21.5 After being notified of the complaint, Physical Studio will make contact as soon as possible, but no later than within 7 Days, to discuss the complaint and further steps to be taken.
21.6 The Client or Customer must always give Physical Studio the opportunity to remedy the defect. A reasonable period will be agreed between the Parties for each defect. If a report consists of multiple defects, an appropriate period for remedy will be determined for each defect.
21.7 The manner in which the defect is remedied will be determined in consultation between the Parties, with due observance of the Customer's statutory rights.
Article 22. Privacy and data of Clients and Customers
Physical Studio has a statutory duty of confidentiality regarding physiotherapy treatments. This means that all information exchanged will be treated confidentially. Physical Studio complies at all times with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and related laws and regulations. See our privacy policy for more information.
Article 23. Conversion
If and insofar as, on the grounds of reasonableness and fairness or the unreasonably onerous nature thereof, no reliance can be placed on any provision of the Agreement and these Terms and Conditions, the provision in question shall in any event be given a meaning corresponding as closely as possible in terms of content and purport, so that reliance can be placed on it.
Article 24. Continuing effect
If it is expressly or tacitly intended that provisions of these Terms and Conditions remain in force, they shall retain their validity after termination of the Agreement between the Parties.

If the Terms and Conditions and the Agreement contain conflicting provisions, the provisions included in the Agreement concluded between the Parties shall apply, provided that it contains an express order confirmation. In all other cases, the provisions included in these Terms and Conditions shall apply.

If the Client or Customer does not comply with the provisions of these Terms and Conditions, Physical Studio has the right to refuse to perform further Services for the Client or Customer.
