6. OUR CONTRACT REGARDING THE SALE OF GOODS AND THE ORDER PROCESS
6.1 The Website shows goods that are offered for sale and provides information about these goods. By placing goods on the Website, we invite you to place an order with us. When you place an order, we are not obligated to accept that order, and the contract between us will be formed when we accept your order. Neither the submission of an electronic order form nor the completion of the checkout process confirms our acceptance of your order. Our acceptance of your order and the completion of the contract between you and us will take place when the goods are dispatched to you. You are allowed to include a number of items in an order, subject to the limitations in these Terms or on the Website, and each order you place will form a separate contract between us. We reserve the right to refuse to send goods to any person.
6.2 Any terms that appear or are referenced in the order or that are otherwise stipulated by you will have no effect. Any variation to the contract must be confirmed by us in writing.
6.3 The following paragraph explains the process you must follow to place an order and how the contract for the sale of goods between us will be formed. This section also contains important information regarding payment and delivery.

All applicable delivery charges are as displayed on the Website at the time you place your order. The delivery charge for your order will be displayed on the cart page under your selected items. This means that if you order more than one item, no additional delivery charge will be applied for the extra items.
7.2 We reserve the right to change prices at any time. If there is a price difference between when you place your order and when we ship your order, we will notify you by email or phone and ask if you wish to proceed with your purchase. If you decline, and for some reason, payment has already been made, it will be refunded to your credit or debit account.
7.3 Offers and promotions on the Website are subject to availability, and we may change or withdraw them at any time without notice. Nothing will obligate us to maintain offers or promotions for a specified period. Additional terms may apply. The specifics of these will be displayed.

7.5 You may only use a payment card if you are the named cardholder. By placing an order, you confirm that you are the authorized cardholder. All credit cardholders will be subject to validation, security checks, and authorization by the card issuer, along with any other conditions imposed by the issuer. If the issuer does not authorize payment, we will not accept your order and are not responsible for delays or non-delivery of goods.
7.6 Your card issuer may charge you a fee for using your card on our Website. Please check the terms and conditions of your card issuer carefully before submitting your payment details.
7.7 If we do not have sufficient stock of the goods, we will inform you via email or phone, and your iDEAL or credit card transaction will be canceled or refunded. We will do this as soon as possible and no later than 30 (thirty) days after the intended delivery date. We are not liable for any compensation if goods you ordered are unavailable for any reason.
7.8 We will validate the names, addresses, and other details you provide against commercially available registers. We may use third parties to assist in this. Information you provide may be disclosed to a registered credit reference agency, which may keep a copy of the information. When you place an order with us, you agree to such checks. Please also refer to our Privacy Policy regarding this. These measures are in place to protect you and ensure your shopping experience with us is as secure as possible.
8. RETURNS
8.1 If you change your mind:
You have a legal right to cancel the contract for any reason at any time within 14 days after the day on which you receive the goods. This is the statutory cooling-off period.
8.2 If you simply wish to exchange the goods you ordered, you must do so within 28 days after the day you received the goods.
8.3 To cancel, you must notify us in writing. This can be done via email or fax but not by phone.

You can contact us via:
[Insert contact email or web form]
[Insert company address for returns]
8.4 You may also return the goods to one of our stores in the country of purchase, provided you paid by credit card or iDEAL. You must bring the delivery note as proof of purchase. However, we are not responsible for any applicable costs if you return goods to one of our stores.
8.5 We will refund you as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after the day on which you notify us that you wish to cancel the order. We will refund the full price of the returned goods. If you cancel the contract within the statutory cooling-off period (within 14 days after you received the goods), we will also refund the standard delivery charge you may have paid when we sent the goods to you. Please note that if you return only some of the items and keep the rest, you may not be entitled to a refund of the delivery charge.
8.6 Please also note that if you decide to return the goods to one of our stores rather than sending them back to us, the store will not be able to refund any delivery charge, even if you are entitled to it. This will be handled separately upon your request. Please contact us at [Insert email] for the refund of delivery charges.
8.7 If something goes wrong:
We warrant that the goods we supply will be of satisfactory quality and fit for the purpose for which goods of that kind are usually supplied.
8.8 If you return goods to us for reasons other than changing your mind, we will inspect the goods and either replace them or refund the full purchase price if we accept that there is a manufacturing or other defect in the goods. This is subject to you returning the goods to us in a reasonable time.
8.9 We will replace or refund the goods provided that the defect or fault is not caused by normal wear and tear, intentional or accidental damage, your negligence, or if you have failed to follow the product instructions or the goods have been misused, altered, or repaired without our consent. These refunds will also cover any shipping costs you paid and any costs you incurred in returning the goods to us. If we do not find any fault or defect, your right to a refund will be limited to the terms described in Clauses 8.1 to 8.6 above, although this does not affect your statutory rights. Subject to Clause 9 below, the remedy in this Clause 8.9 represents our full liability to you in relation to any claim regarding the goods, as far as the law allows us to limit our liability to you.
8.10 If you believe the goods are defective, you should stop using them before returning them to us. Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights. These are the rights granted to you by law, which cannot be altered by us.
8.11 If you want to return goods under Clause 8.9, you have the following options:
8.11.1 Return the goods to us in an unused, reasonable condition to the returns address in Clause 8.3; OR
8.11.2 If you paid by iDEAL or credit card, you can return the goods to one of our stores in the country of purchase, along with the delivery or shipping note as proof of purchase.
8.12 We aim to process your refund or exchange as soon as possible but will do so within 14 days after you return the goods to us. If you paid by iDEAL or credit card and choose to return the goods to one of our stores, any refund or exchange can be processed immediately in-store, except for the potential refund of delivery charges, which will be handled separately. Please contact us at [Insert email] for the refund of delivery charges. However, we reserve the right to send goods that you claim to be defective to our inspection team.
8.13 Finally, when returning goods to us because you believe they are defective or because you changed your mind, we ask that you return them to us via a traceable delivery method or courier service so that you have proof of shipment. We cannot be held responsible for goods that are lost or damaged in the post.
9. OUR LIABILITY
9.1 NOTHING IN THE CONTRACT OR ELSEWHERE WILL EXCLUDE OR LIMIT OUR LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY OUR NEGLIGENCE OR ANY LIABILITY FOR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION OR FRAUD OR LIABILITY THAT WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR RELATING TO CONSUMER PROTECTION RIGHTS OR FOR OTHER MATTERS THAT CANNOT LEGALLY BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED. YOUR STATUTORY RIGHTS ARE NOT AFFECTED.
9.2 TO THE EXTENT THAT WE ARE LIABLE TO YOU IN RELATION TO BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR ANY OTHER LIABILITY IN RELATION TO THE GOODS OR THIS CONTRACT, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU WILL BE LIMITED TO THREE TIMES THE PRICE OF THE GOODS SUBJECT TO THE LIABILITY, PAID BY YOU TO US, AND ANY FORESEEABLE LOSSES THAT ARE THE DIRECT RESULT OF OUR BREACH OF CONTRACT.

9.6 We will typically refund the full purchase price, along with the standard shipping costs paid, within 28 days of receiving the returned goods or proof of shipment of the same. Please note that if you only wish to return some items, but keep the rest of your order, you may not be entitled to a refund of the shipping costs.
9.7 You must take care of the products before returning them to us. We may reduce the amount we refund if you have used, damaged, or otherwise diminished the residual value of the goods.
10. DELIVERY
10.1 We aim to deliver the goods within the timeframes set out on our Website. References to āworking dayā will mean any day of the week, except Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays. However, time is not of the essence for delivery or performance, meaning we are not responsible for delivering goods outside these timeframes and are not liable for the consequences of delays. If we fail to deliver the goods within the specified timeframe, we will make all reasonable efforts to notify you by email and provide you with an updated delivery date. Our liability is capped according to Clause 9.2 above.
10.2 If goods are out of stock, we will notify you by email. If you order more than one product, we do not guarantee that all goods will arrive in one delivery, and we reserve the right to deliver in multiple shipments.
10.3 Ownership of the goods will only transfer to you when the goods are dispatched. The goods will be at your risk from the moment of delivery, and you must, therefore, take reasonable care of them.
10.4 If the goods or the quantity you receive do not match what you ordered due to our error, you must notify us by email or letter using the details in Clause 8.3 as soon as possible after receiving the goods and noticing the error. We will correct any error. We will also refund any costs you incurred in returning the incorrect goods to us. However, we ask that you contact us before arranging your return. Any goods you receive in error and wish to return must not be used by you.
10.5 Goods are delivered to the address you provide during the ordering process. However, delivery practices may vary depending on the carrier delivering the goods. You must provide a valid address for delivery. The delivery method we use may vary based on the number and type of goods. We will select the delivery method we consider most appropriate for delivering the goods. For further information on deliveries, please refer to the Delivery Information section of our Website.
10.6 We reserve the right to make alternative arrangements for deliveries, which will depend on the carrier we use to deliver the goods. This may include leaving the goods with a neighbor or in a safe place around your property.
11. OUR RIGHTS RELATING TO THE GOODS
All ownership rights, known as intellectual property rights, related to the goods, including all designs, trademarks, brand names, images, and logos, are and remain our property or that of our licensors. At no point will any rights to, ownership of, or interest in the intellectual property rights pass to you.
12. GENERAL

12.2 The contract between you and us is binding. You may not transfer or assign your rights or obligations to another person without our express permission.

12.3 If a court or another competent authority declares any clause of this contract invalid, the other clauses of this contract will remain in effect.
12.4 If either we or you at any time fail to act on the rights we have under this contract, it will not affect our right to enforce those rights in the future. If either of us chooses not to enforce a right, it will not affect any of the other rights either of us has.
12.5 This contract is subject to [country] law, and both we and you confirm that any dispute under or in connection with this contract will be resolved in the courts of [country].
12.6 We may amend these terms at any time without prior notice to you.

12.7 Any notices you send to us will be deemed delivered as follows, depending on how you send them:
12.7.1 On the day it is left, if you deliver the notice by hand; or
12.7.2 On the day it is posted, if you post the notice in accordance with the date on the receipt you receive from the post office; or

In each case, it must be sent to the address specified in Clause 8.3.
