By placing an order through this website, you guarantee to be of at least 18 years of age and have the legal power to enter into binding contracts.
5. METHOD OF ENTERING INTO THE CONTRACT
The information provided in these Terms and Conditions and the details contained on this website do not constitute an offer to the public, but a mere invitation to treat. There shall be no contract between you and ourselves over any products until we have expressly accepted your order. Where your order is not accepted but your account has already been charged, you will be refunded the full amount charged.
To place an order, you will need to follow the online purchase process and click “PLACE ORDER”. You will then receive an e-mail confirming that your order has been received ("Order Confirmation"). Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order is an offer that you are making to us to buy one or more products. All orders will be subject to our approval, which you will be informed of in an e-mail confirming that the order is to be shipped ("Shipping Confirmation"). A product's purchase-sale contract between you and ourselves (the “Contract”) shall only be understood as entered into when we send you the Delivery Confirmation.
Only the products listed in the Shipping Confirmation will be subject to the Contract. We will not be obliged to provide you with any other product that has not been ordered if such products are not confirmed in the Shipping Confirmation.
6. PRODUCT AVAILABILITY
All product orders are subject to availability. To this end, in the case of supply problems or stock shortages, we reserve the right to provide you with information on replacement products of the same or higher quality and value, which you are free to decide to order. If you do not wish to place an order for such replacement products, we will refund you any amounts already paid by you.
7. REFUSAL TO PROCESS AN ORDER
We reserve the right to remove any product from this website at any time and/or to delete or modify any material or content thereof. Although we will always do our utmost to follow up all orders, exceptional circumstances may arise that oblige us to refuse to process orders after we have sent out an Order Confirmation, and we reserve the right to do this at all times.
We shall not be liable to you or any third party for removing any product from this website, deleting or modifying any material or content on the website, or for failing to process an order after the Order Confirmation.
8. DELIVERY
Notwithstanding Clause 7 below, and except in the case of extraordinary circumstances, we undertake to do everything within our power to send the product(s) ordered, as indicated in the relevant Shipping Confirmation, by the date stated in the Shipping Confirmation or, where no delivery date is specified, within the estimated time for the selected delivery method and, in any case, within 30 days from the date of the Order Confirmation.
Nonetheless, delays may occur due to a variety of reasons, such as customisation of products, the occurrence of unforeseen occurrences or the delivery area.
If, for any reason, we are unable to comply with the delivery deadlines, we will notify you and give you the option either to continue with the purchase by setting a new delivery date or to cancel the order, with the ensuing refund of the entire amount paid. Please note that no home delivery is provided on Saturdays and Sundays.
For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, a "delivery" shall be understood to have been made or an order "delivered" once you or a third party stated by you are in physical possession or control of the product(s), which will be evidenced by the signing of the order receipt at the delivery address agreed to.
9. INABILITY TO DELIVER
If we cannot complete the delivery of your order, we will attempt to leave it in a safe place. If this is not possible, your order will be sent back to our warehouse. In that case, we will leave you a note specifying the location of where your order is being held and how to arrange a new delivery. If you are unable to be present at the agreed delivery time, we will ask you to contact us again to arrange a new delivery date.
If delivery cannot take place for reasons not attributable to us, after 30 days as from the date on which your order is available for delivery, we will assume that you intend to cancel the Contract, which will be then deemed to have been annulled. As a result of the cancellation of the Contract, we will refund all the amounts you paid, including delivery costs (excluding any additional costs arising from your choice of a delivery method other than the ordinary method we offered) without any unjustified delays and, in any event, within 14 days of the date of cancellation of the Contract. Please note that shipping resulting from the cancellation of the contract may incur additional costs that will be charged to you.
10. TRANSFER OF RISK AND OWNERSHIP OF THE PRODUCTS
All product-related risks shall be borne by you as soon as the product has been delivered to you. You will acquire ownership of the product as soon as we have received full payment of all amounts owed to us, including shipping charges, or at the time of delivery (as defined in Clause 8 above) whichever occurs later.
11. PRICING AND PAYMENT
