Up to a maximum amount of € 10.000,- per binding advice, this amount will be paid to the consumer by the Dutch Thuiswinkel Organization. For amounts greater than € 10.000,- per binding advice, € 10.000,- will be paid out. For the excess, the Dutch Thuiswinkel Organization has a best-efforts obligation to ensure that the member complies with the binding advice.
