3. SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

3.1 Shipping time and carrier

The Order is processed and from our logistics as soon as possible (within 1-5 business days) after it has been completed.

All our shipments are made using a carrier designated by us.

Changing deliver carrier under special request made by the Customer is not a possibility.

During sales, delays are possible.

The Customer will always be notified by the Seller via e-mail about possible delays and/or changes.

3.2 Shipping address and Personal information

After the order has been processed and packed, it will be shipped to the address indicated by the Customer, provided that the mentioned address is complete and correct.

If the address provided is incorrect and/or incomplete, the Customer will be contacted as soon as possible via the e-mail address and/or the phone number the Customer indicated himself/herself, provided that the indicated personal information is correct and complete.

If the Customer provided any incorrect and/or incomplete personal and address information, as already specified, the Seller has no responsibility in eventual delivery delays and/or failures.

3.3 Solving an eventual inconvenience

The risk with respect to any damage to or loss of the Products will be transferred to the Customer as from the time at which the Products are delivered.

If any inconvenience will occur before the delivery, the Customer must contact our Customer Support providing order number, address information, and clear explanation of the inconvenience. Our Customer Support will handle the complaint as soon as possible and will find a suitable solution in agreement with the Customer.

During sales, responding time might be extended and the Customer will always be notified by the Seller via e-mail about possible delays and/or changes.

4.1 Prices

The prices indicated on the Website are denominated in euros, are exclusive of Value Added Tax (VAT), and are exclusive of shipping costs.

The return shipping costs will be borne by the Customer.

The total Purchase Price will be indicated in the Cart and in the confirmation e-mails the Customer receives after completing his/her order (read section 2 for further information about confirmation e-mails).

4.2 Price variation

The Seller will be entitled to adjust the prices indicated on the Website from time to time without any notice being required.

The prices indicated at the time at which the Order is placed will be deemed to be the prices that form part of the Agreement.

4.3 Payment

Payment may be made using the methods indicated on the Website and must be made in advance in order to fulfill the Order and complete the Agreement.

4.4 Taxes and Duties

While import duties or taxes may occur, we have no control over these charges and cannot provide an estimate for additional fees. These charges are determined by your local customs, and we do not have any influence over them. We strive to minimize any additional costs for our customers. The place of delivery is the country where the transportation begins. In this case, the delivery takes place outside the EU, so the postal or courier company will charge the customer import VAT and/or customs clearance fees. Therefore, the merchant will not charge VAT. 

5. RETURNS

If the Customer is not entirely satisfied with the purchase, he/she will be entitled to return the Product that has been delivered, on his/her own cost, within a term of 14 days after the Product has been received, without stating his/her reason for doing so, in the manner indicated by the Seller on the return policy, provided that the Product has not been worn (trying on jewelry is permitted), is undamaged and (insofar as possible) is in the original and undamaged packaging.

If the package has already been shipped, shipping charges are not refundable.

The Seller will notify the Customer within a term of 14 days in the event that it is foreseeable that the complaint will require a longer term to be processed, stating the term within which the Customer can expect to receive an answer.

For urgent inquiries, the Customer must contact our Customer Support via phone by calling the already mentioned phone number during the Seller's business hours.

6.3 Eventual deviations

The Customer acknowledges that minor deviations and deviations that are generally considered acceptable in respect of the quality, size, color, finishing, etc. of Products cannot be avoided or are difficult to avoid and do not constitute a well-founded reason to submit a complaint.

Such complaints, and complaints regarding the removal of certain Products from the Website, are not well-founded.

The Seller will not be liable for any damage that the Customer sustains as a result of such deviations or the removal of such Products from the Website.

The Customer will fully cooperate in the event that the Seller recalls a Product.

7. WARRANTY AND LIABILITY

7.1 Warranty

The Seller is required by law to provide a Product that meets the contract with the Customer.

The Customer must check the Product as soon as he/she receives it, before removing the tags and/or using the Product itself, and inform the Seller about any eventual defect within a term of 14 days.

The Customer will be required to provide proof of the defect such as pictures of the Product with tags still attached and of the defect itself.

If damage occurs after the tags have been removed and/or the Product has already been used and/or washed by the Customer, the Seller will require additional proof and information such as the washing and/or drying method.

If the Customer shows the Seller that the Product has a defect caused by a production error, the Dutch Warranty Law applies to the case, and the Customer and the Seller will find an amicable and suitable solution they both agree with.

The Customer will fully cooperate with the Seller's requests and/or requirements.

7.2 Liability

The Seller is not liable for any indirect, additional, or consequential damage, of any kind whatsoever, that the Buyer sustains in connection with the Agreement. Under no circumstances will any direct damage, for which the Seller is legally liable towards the Buyer, exceed the Purchase Price.

The Seller refers to the Website Terms of Use regarding its liability in respect to the Website and the use of the Website.

8. FORCE MAJEURE

The Seller is not liable for any damage as a result of a delay in the delivery or a failure to deliver that has been caused by circumstances that impede the Seller from complying with its obligations and that cannot be attributed to the Seller because they cannot be blamed on the Seller, and cannot be deemed to be for the Seller's account in accordance with the law, a legal act, or in accordance with generally accepted standards, such as – but not restricted to – the consequences of a pandemic, war, threat of war, civil war, riots, a day of national mourning announced by the government, strikes, transport problems, trade limitations, problems with customs authorities, fire, flooding, earthquake, or the bankruptcy of third parties engaged by the Seller, a failure on the part of the Seller's suppliers to supply goods, or a failure on the part of the Seller's suppliers to supply goods in a timely manner, interruptions in the supply of goods to be delivered by third parties, including water and electricity, and other serious interruptions in the business operations of the Seller or third parties that it engages.

If, as a result of a situation involving force majeure, the Seller fails to comply with its obligations under the Agreement or fails to do so in a timely manner, the Seller will be entitled to perform the Agreement within a reasonable term or – if compliance within a reasonable term is not possible – to dissolve the Agreement in whole or in part, without the Seller being obliged to pay the Customer any compensation in that respect.
