    • For complaints that cannot be resolved by mutual agreement, the Dutch customer should contact Stichting WebwinkelKeur, which will mediate free of charge. If no solution can be found, the customer has the possibility to let his complaint be handled by the independent dispute commission appointed by Stichting WebwinkelKeur, the verdict of which is binding and both entrepreneur and customer agree to this binding verdict. To submit a dispute to this dispute committee, costs are involved which need to be paid by the customer to the committee concerned.

    Warranty & Repair

    We choose our products carefully and want to deliver them to you in top condition. Although the couriers do their utmost, it can unfortunately happen that an order is damaged during transport or that a product does not work properly (e.g. due to a manufacturing defect). In these cases you can make a warranty claim.

    To make a warranty claim, you are legally obliged to report the defect to us within two months of its discovery. If the defect is covered by the guarantee, we will repair or replace your product free of charge. If the product has not been used in the way it was intended, no warranty claim can be made. 
    The warranty conditions and period can be found on the product page or you can contact our customer service. 

    • Warranty period

    We apply the statutory minimum guarantee period of two years to the delivery of goods, if the goods do not comply with the order placed. This means that in the event of defects or malfunction of the goods, a free repair or replacement is possible up to two years after delivery.
    As far as possible and reasonable, you have the choice between repair or replacement. Only in the event that the repair or replacement is excessive or impossible, or cannot be carried out within a reasonable period of time, do you have the right to demand a price reduction or the rescission of the contract of sale. 
    If the defect or fault becomes apparent within the warranty period, it is assumed to have already existed before delivery unless we can prove otherwise. After the warranty period, you yourself will have to prove that the defect was already present at the time of delivery. 

    • Exceptions to the guarantee

    The guarantee does not apply if:

    - The customer has repaired and/or modified the delivered products himself or has had them repaired and/or modified by third parties
    - The delivered products have been exposed to abnormal conditions or are otherwise carelessly handled or contrary to the instructions of the entrepreneur and / or on the packaging
    - The inadequacy is wholly or partially the result of government regulations concerning the nature or quality of the materials used. 

    • Making a claim under the guarantee

    Do you want to make a claim under our guarantee? Please send us pictures of the damaged or defective product, together with your purchase details. You can email these details to info@hermie.com. The customer service department will assess whether the product needs to be returned to us for inspection/repair (and will provide you with a return label so you can take the package to a PostNL parcel point in your area) or whether you will immediately receive a new product.

    For some brands (e.g. Intex), the defective product must be taken to a repair point or you can contact the supplier directly. This has been agreed in advance with the supplier so that we can offer you an even better & faster (repair) service. If this is the case, you will be informed by the customer service department and they will provide you with the necessary information to report the complaint or repair.
