Some of the Products provided on this Website, as part of the Service, are provided on the basis of payment.

The fees, duration and conditions applicable to the purchase of such Products are described below and in the dedicated sections of this Website.

Product description

Prices, descriptions or availability of Products are outlined in the respective sections of this Website and are subject to change without notice.

While Products on this Website are presented with the greatest accuracy technically possible, representation on this Website through any means (including, as the case may be, graphic material, images, colors, sounds) is for reference only and implies no warranty as to the characteristics of the purchased Product.

The characteristics of the chosen Product will be outlined during the purchasing process.

Purchasing process

Any steps taken from choosing a Product to order submission form part of the purchasing process.

The purchasing process includes these steps:

·        Users must choose the desired Product and verify their purchase selection.

·        After having reviewed the information displayed in the purchase selection, Users may place the order by submitting it.

Order submission

When the User submits an order, the following applies:

·        The submission of an order determines contract conclusion and therefore creates for the User the obligation to pay the price, taxes and possible further fees and expenses, as specified on the order page.

·        In case the purchased Product requires an action from the User, such as the provision of personal information or data, specifications or special wishes, the order submission creates an obligation for the User to cooperate accordingly.

All notifications related to the described purchasing process shall be sent to the email address provided by the User for such purposes.

Prices

Users are informed during the purchasing process and before order submission, about any fees, taxes and costs (including, if any, delivery costs) that they will be charged.

Information related to accepted payment methods are made available during the purchasing process.

Some payment methods may only be available subject to additional conditions or fees. In such cases related information can be found in the dedicated section of this Website.

All payments are independently processed through third-party services. Therefore, this Website does not collect any payment information – such as credit card details – but only receives a notification once the payment has been successfully completed.

If a payment through the available methods fails or is refused by the payment service provider, the Owner shall be under no obligation to fulfill the purchase order. If a payment fails or is refused, the Owner reserves the right to claim any related expenses or damages from the User.

Payment of price in installments

In some instances, the payment of the purchase price may be settled in two or more installments, within the deadlines specified on this Website or otherwise communicated by the Owner.
Specific Products may be excluded from this payment model.
If the User fails to meet any of the payment deadlines, the entire outstanding amount shall become immediately due and payable.

Authorization for future PayPal payment

If Users authorize a PayPal or other feature which allows future purchases, this Website will store an identification code linked to the Users’ PayPal or other account. This will authorize this Website to automatically process payments for future purchases or recurring installments of past purchases.

This authorization can be revoked at any time, either by contacting the Owner or by changing the user settings offered by PayPal or other feature provider.

Retention of Product ownership

Products ordered shall not become the User’s property unless and until payment of the total purchase price is received by the Owner.

Retention of usage rights

Users do not acquire any rights to use the purchased Product until the total purchase price is received by the Owner.

User rights

Right of withdrawal

Unless exceptions apply, the User may be eligible to withdraw from the contract within the period specified below (generally 14 days), for any reason and without justification. Users can learn more about the withdrawal conditions within this section.

Exercising the right of withdrawal

To exercise their right of withdrawal, Users must send to the Owner an unequivocal statement of their intention to withdraw from the contract.

To this end, Users may use the model withdrawal form available from within the “definitions” section of this document. Users are, however, free to express their intention to withdraw from the contract by making an unequivocal statement in any other suitable way. In order to meet the deadline within which they can exercise such right, Users must send the withdrawal notice before the withdrawal period expires.

When does the withdrawal period expire?

·        Regarding the purchase of goods, the withdrawal period expires 14 days after the day on which the User or a third party – other than the carrier and designated by the User – takes physical possession of the goods.

·        Regarding the purchase of several goods ordered together but delivered separately or in case of purchase of a single good consisting of multiple lots or pieces delivered separately, the withdrawal period expires 14 days after the day on which the User or a third party – other than the carrier and designated by the User – acquires physical possession of the last good, lot or piece.

Effects of withdrawal

Users who correctly withdraw from a contract will be reimbursed by the Owner for all payments made to the Owner, including, if any, those covering the costs of delivery.

However, any additional costs resulting from the choice of a particular delivery method other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by the Owner, will not be reimbursed.

Such reimbursement shall be made without undue delay and, in any event, no later than 14 days from the day on which the Owner is informed of the User’s decision to withdraw from the contract. Unless otherwise agreed with the User, reimbursements will be made using the same means of payment as used to process the initial transaction. In any event, the User shall not incur any costs or fees as a result of such reimbursement.

Unless the Owner has offered to collect the goods, Users shall send back the goods or hand them over to the Owner, or to a person authorized by the latter to receive the goods, without undue delay and in any event within 14 days from the day on which they communicated their decision to withdraw from the contract.

The deadline is met if the goods are handed to the carrier, or otherwise returned as indicated above, before the expiration of the 14-days-period for returning the goods. The reimbursement may be withheld until reception of the goods, or until Users have supplied evidence of having returned the goods, whichever is the earliest.

Users shall only be liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling of the goods outside of that which is necessary to establish their nature, characteristics and functioning.

The costs of returning the goods are borne by the User.

The disclaimers and exclusions under this agreement shall not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

Limitations of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Owner, and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branders, partners, suppliers and employees be liable for:

·        any indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including without limitation damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to the use of, or inability to use, the Service; and

Arbitration of Disputes

IF ANY DISPUTE ARISES BETWEEN COMPANY AND YOU RELATING TO THE USE OF THIS WEBSITE OR ANY PRODUCTSPURCHASED OR RECEIVED BY YOU, WE BOTH AGREE THAT THE DISPUTE WILL BE SETTLED ONLY THROUGH ARBITRATION. This means that neither Company nor you will sue in court before a judge or jury, individually or as a class member. Instead, one arbitrator will decide the dispute, and the arbitrator’s decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only for the individual claims between us.

The following processes shall govern the arbitration process:

·        The arbitration will take place in XXXX, or, at your election, in the county seat of the county within the USA where you reside.

·        Before commencing an arbitration, you agree to inform us of the nature of the claim and the relief you seek by sending an email to EMAIL ADDRESS so stating.

·        Within seven (7) days, we will contact you and thereafter you and we will attempt to resolve the claim or issue in a satisfactory way.

·        If, following these attempts at exploring a resolution, you intend to proceed with an arbitration claim, you and we will seek to reach an agreement on the selection of an arbitrator to hear and decide the dispute and how it will be heard, including whether to submit the dispute to the arbitrator only in written form, by proceedings conducted via video or in-person.

·        In the event that you and we cannot agree on an arbitrator, the process set forth in Section 11 (a) of the Uniform Arbitration Act, or any comparable provision in your state, shall be followed. That provision states: "If the parties have not agreed on a method (for appointing an arbitrator), the agreed method fails, or an arbitrator appointed fails or is unable to act and a successor has not been appointed, the court, on (motion) of a party to the arbitration proceeding, shall appoint the arbitrator."

·        The arbitrator will be bound to follow applicable federal and state laws and regulations in deciding all issues and in rendering any award. The parties will be entitled to invoke the rules of discovery applicable to state court proceedings.

·        Each of us will pay our own attorneys’ fees and expenses.

·        No arbitration under these Terms of Use may be joined with another arbitration related to the subject matter hereof.

·        Notwithstanding the foregoing arbitration requirement, with regard to any actual or potential violation of our intellectual property rights, we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in the courts of XXX, USA, and you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waive all objections thereto.

·        If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, to the extent enforceable by applicable law, we each waive any right to a jury trial.

·        You may reject any change we make to this Mandatory Arbitration section by sending us notice within 30 days of the change by U.S. Mail to Company’s address in the Applicable Law section and retaining a copy of that notice for your records.

·        You may opt out of this arbitration agreement. If you do so, neither you nor we can force the other to arbitrate. To opt out, you must notify us in writing no later than 30 days after first becoming subject to this arbitration agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your username and the email address you used to set up your account(if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement. Send your notice to: XXX EMAIL. In the event of a dispute between you and us, to invoke your opt-out right, you must retain a copy of your opt-out notice.

Class Actions Waiver

COMPANY AND YOU AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, INCLUDING ARBITRATION AND LITIGATION IN COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED INDIVIDUALLY ONLY. Neither of us will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action, a class wide arbitration, a private attorney-general action, or any other proceeding in which either of us acts or proposes to act as a representative for others. Company and you also agree that no arbitration or other proceeding will be combined with another arbitration or proceeding without the written consent of Company, you, and every other party to that arbitration or proceeding.
