(3) Offers are entirely without obligation, unless the contrary is expressly stated. panholland.com has the right, up to two days after receipt of the acceptance of his offer, to withdraw this offer. The offer does not impose an obligation to deliver a part of the performance in return for a proportional price.

(4) If no payment has been agreed upon, then the usual payment for panholland.com is applicable. If one cannot speak of a usual payment, then at least the Guide Prices of the Federation of Photographers, including the BUR (the most recent version which is filed with the District Court in Amsterdam) are applicable and these constitute a part of these General Conditions.
