MATCHASHOP B.V. — Version: July 2026

TERMS OF SERVICE

OVERVIEW

Welcome to MATCHASHOP! The terms "we", "us" and "our" refer to Matchashop B.V. MATCHASHOP operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products and services in order to provide you, the customer, with a curated shopping experience (the "Services"). MATCHASHOP is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.

The below terms and conditions, together with any policies referenced herein (these "Terms of Service" or "Terms") describe your rights and responsibilities when you use the Services.

Please read these Terms of Service carefully, as they include important information about your legal rights and cover areas such as warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.

By visiting, interacting with or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service or Privacy Policy, you should not use or access our Services.

SECTION 1 — ACCESS AND ACCOUNT

By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age, or that you have the consent of a parent or legal guardian. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity on your account. You may not transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to any other person.

To use the Services, you may be asked to provide certain information such as your email address, billing, payment, and shipping information. You represent and warrant that all information you provide is correct, current and complete.

SECTION 2 — OUR PRODUCTS

We have made every effort to provide an accurate representation of our products and services. However, colours or product appearance may differ from how they appear on your screen due to your device type and settings. Matcha is also a natural product: colour, flavour and texture may vary slightly between harvests.

All product descriptions are subject to change at any time without notice. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time and may limit quantities offered to any person, geographic region or jurisdiction.

Nothing in this section affects your right to goods that conform to the contract, as set out in Section 6.

SECTION 3 — ORDERS

When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase. MATCHASHOP reserves the right to accept or decline your order for any reason at its discretion. Your order is not accepted until MATCHASHOP confirms acceptance via order confirmation email. We must receive and process your payment before your order is accepted.

Please review your order carefully before submitting, as we may be unable to accommodate cancellation requests after an order is accepted. This does not affect your right of withdrawal as set out in Section 5. If we do not accept, change, or cancel your order, we will notify you via the contact details provided at checkout.

Your purchases are subject to our Return Policy.

SECTION 4 — PRICES AND BILLING

All prices displayed on our website are inclusive of VAT, in accordance with applicable EU and Dutch consumer law. Prices are exclusive of shipping costs, which are calculated and clearly displayed at checkout before you complete your purchase.

Prices, discounts and promotions are subject to change without notice. The price charged will be the price in effect at the time the order is placed, as confirmed in your order confirmation email.

You agree to provide current, complete and accurate payment information for all purchases. You agree to promptly update your account information, including email address and payment details, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.

SECTION 5 — RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL AND RETURNS

As a consumer in the European Union, you have the right to withdraw from your purchase without giving any reason. The cooling-off period is 14 days and begins the day after you receive your order. If your order arrives in multiple shipments, the period begins the day after you receive the final shipment. To exercise this right, you must notify us within this period at info@matchashop.com. You may use the European model withdrawal form, but this is not required.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:

  • Sealed foodstuffs where the seal has been broken after delivery, for reasons of health protection and hygiene. As long as the seal is intact, the right of withdrawal applies in full.
  • Perishable goods or goods with a limited shelf life.
  • Custom or personalised products.
  • Digital gift cards, provided you expressly consented to immediate delivery at the point of purchase and acknowledged that you thereby waive your right of withdrawal.

Sale and promotional items are not excluded from the right of withdrawal.

Once you have notified us of your withdrawal, you have 14 days to send the item back. Return shipping costs are at your expense. We will refund you within 14 days of receiving your notice of withdrawal, using your original payment method. We may withhold the refund until we have received the item back or until you have provided evidence that you have sent it, whichever comes first.

If you withdraw from your entire order, we will also refund the delivery costs of the original shipment, based on our standard delivery rate. For partial returns, the original delivery costs are not refunded.

See our Return Policy for full details. Where this section and the Return Policy conflict, whichever provision is more favourable to you as a consumer prevails.

SECTION 6 — CONFORMITY AND LEGAL GUARANTEE

Under Dutch and EU consumer law, all products must conform to the purchase agreement. If a product is defective, damaged, or not as described, you are entitled to free repair, replacement, or a refund. Please contact us at info@matchashop.com within a reasonable time of discovering the defect. This legal guarantee is in addition to, and does not affect, any other rights you may have as a consumer, and cannot be limited by contract.

SECTION 7 — SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

We ship within the European Union. Shipping availability for specific countries is confirmed at checkout. All delivery times are carrier estimates and are not guaranteed. We deliver within 30 days of your order at the latest, unless otherwise agreed.

The risk of loss or damage passes to you at the moment you, or a third party designated by you other than the carrier, take physical possession of the order. If your order arrives damaged or is lost in transit, please contact us and we will resolve this at no cost to you.

See our Shipping Policy for full details on shipping rates, estimated delivery times and our dispatch process.

SECTION 8 — INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Our Services, including all trademarks, brands, text, images, graphics, product content, video and audio, and the design, selection and arrangement thereof, are owned by MATCHASHOP, its affiliates or licensors and are protected by Dutch and international copyright and intellectual property laws.

These Terms permit you to use the Services for personal, non-commercial use only. You must not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, republish, download, store or transmit any material from our Services without our prior written consent. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by MATCHASHOP.

MATCHASHOP's names, logos, product and service names, designs and slogans are trademarks of MATCHASHOP or its affiliates or licensors. You must not use such marks without our prior written permission. Shopify's name, logo and related marks are trademarks of Shopify Inc.

SECTION 9 — RELATIONSHIP WITH SHOPIFY

MATCHASHOP is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you. However, any sales and purchases you make in our store are made directly with MATCHASHOP. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that Shopify is not responsible for any aspect of any sales between you and MATCHASHOP, including any injury, damage, or loss resulting from purchased products and services. You hereby expressly release Shopify and its affiliates from all claims, damages and liabilities arising from or related to your purchases and transactions with MATCHASHOP, to the extent permitted by mandatory consumer law.

SECTION 10 — OPTIONAL TOOLS AND THIRD-PARTY LINKS

We may provide access to third-party tools and links to external websites as part of the Services. We do not monitor or control these tools or websites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy or practices. Access to third-party tools and websites is entirely at your own risk. Complaints or questions regarding third-party products or services should be directed to the relevant third party.

SECTION 11 — PRIVACY AND GDPR

All personal data we collect through the Services is processed in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Dutch Implementation Act (UAVG). For full details on how we collect, use and protect your personal data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

You have the right to access, correct, delete and restrict the processing of your personal data. For any data-related requests, please contact us at info@matchashop.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) at autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl.

Because the Services are hosted by Shopify, Shopify also collects and processes certain personal data in order to provide and improve the Services. Please review Shopify's Privacy Policy for more information.

SECTION 12 — FEEDBACK

If you submit ideas, suggestions, feedback, reviews or other content ("Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, modify, publish and distribute such Feedback for any purpose, including commercial use. You represent that you own or have the right to submit all Feedback and that it does not violate any third-party rights. We are under no obligation to maintain Feedback in confidence, pay compensation for it, or respond to it.

SECTION 13 — ERRORS, INACCURACIES AND OMISSIONS

Occasionally there may be information on our website that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions relating to product descriptions, pricing, promotions, shipping charges or availability. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions and to change or update information at any time without prior notice.

If we identify an obvious error in price or description after accepting your order, we will contact you before fulfilling it. You may then either confirm the order at the correct price or cancel it free of charge, with a full refund of any amounts already paid.

SECTION 14 — PROHIBITED USES

You may use the Services for lawful purposes only. You may not use the Services to:

  • Violate any applicable law or regulation

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time if we determine you have violated these Terms.

SECTION 15 — AGENTS

15.1 This section applies if you use, allow, enable or deploy an automated agent ("Agent") to access or interact with the Services. "Agent" means any software or service that takes autonomous or semi-autonomous action on behalf of a person or entity without direct supervision.

15.2 No Agent may access or interact with the Services unless it identifies itself and operates in accordance with the requirements in section 15.4 below. No Agent may access the Services if we have requested it to refrain from doing so.

15.3 We may limit, including by technical means, whether and how any Agent accesses or interacts with the Services.

15.4 Agents must: (i) identify themselves in all HTTP/HTTPS requests by including "Agent/[agent name]" in the user agent string; (ii) not conceal that interactions are from an Agent, including by mimicking human behaviour or bypassing CAPTCHAs; (iii) respond truthfully when asked whether interactions are from a human or a computer; (iv) not circumvent any measure intended to block or control Agent access.

SECTION 16 — TERMINATION

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services if you breach these Terms, if we suspect fraudulent or unlawful use, or for other compelling reasons. Where reasonably possible, we will notify you in advance.

Termination does not affect:

  • Orders already accepted, which we will fulfil as agreed, unless the termination relates to fraud or abuse;
  • Subscription periods already paid for, which we will either fulfil or refund on a pro-rata basis;
  • Your statutory consumer rights, including your right of withdrawal and your right to conformity.

You will remain liable for all amounts due up to and including the date of termination. The following sections survive termination: Intellectual Property, Feedback, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Governing Law, Privacy and any provisions that by their nature should survive.

SECTION 17 — DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available" without any warranties or conditions of any kind, either express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. We do not guarantee that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free.

Nothing in this section affects your statutory rights as a consumer under Dutch or EU law, including your right to goods that conform to the contract (Section 6). Those rights cannot be excluded or limited by contract.

SECTION 18 — LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the fullest extent permitted by Dutch and EU law, our total liability to you in connection with any order shall not exceed the amount paid by you for that order. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential damages, including lost profits or data.

This limitation does not apply to:

  • Liability arising from intent or gross negligence;
  • Death or personal injury;
  • Liability under product liability law;
  • Any statutory consumer rights that cannot be waived by contract.

SECTION 19 — INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless MATCHASHOP, Shopify, and our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents and service providers from any losses, damages, liabilities or claims, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of (1) your breach of these Terms, (2) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party, or (3) your use of the Services in breach of these Terms.

SECTION 20 — COMPLAINTS AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

If you have a complaint, please contact us first at info@matchashop.com. We will acknowledge receipt within 5 business days and aim to resolve your complaint substantively within 14 days. If we need more time, we will let you know with an indication of how long it will take.

If we are unable to resolve your complaint together, you may bring the matter before the competent court (Section 21). You may also report the matter to ACM ConsuWijzer, the consumer information desk of the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets, at consuwijzer.nl.

SECTION 21 — GOVERNING LAW

These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Netherlands. Any disputes arising from or related to these Terms or your use of the Services shall be submitted to the competent courts in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. As a consumer, you also retain the right to bring proceedings before the courts of your place of residence, and mandatory consumer law of your country of residence continues to apply to you.

SECTION 22 — SEVERABILITY AND WAIVER

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, that provision shall be severed and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

SECTION 23 — ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND ASSIGNMENT

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Return Policy and Shipping Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and MATCHASHOP regarding your use of the Services. You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations; we will notify you in advance, and you may cancel any active subscription free of charge in that event.

SECTION 24 — CHANGES TO TERMS OF SERVICE

We reserve the right to update or replace these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated at least 30 days in advance via email or a notice on our website. If you do not agree to a change, you may cancel any active subscription free of charge within that period.
