Should the provider detect errors in the order, they join the right to inform the customer by e-mail or call him / her on the telephone number in order to make the correct adjustments to the order.

When the seller receives payment, they issue an invoice and initiate the process of dispatching the goods through the delivery service or the process of preparing the goods for personal pickup, depending on which option the customer has chosen.

Order shipped

The ordered goods will be delivered within 2-6 business days after receiving the payment and will be delivered in accordance with the terms of the delivery service (usually the next business day from the day of pickup, except on weekends and public holidays). 

When the seller dispatches the goods, they send an email to the customer, which includes the delivery information and the shipment number, information on how to deal with any damage during the delivery, as well as information on the return of the goods.

The seller shall also notify the customer by e-mail in the event that he / she has selected a personal pickup and informs the customer of the location and time of the pickup.

The purchase contract (order) is stored electronically on the seller's server. One copy of this contract is sent to the customer via email after order confirmation. If the customer wishes, a copy of the contract may be forwarded to them again by e-mail or by post in writing.

The right to withdraw from the purchase, the return of goods

According to the Consumer Protection Act, the customer has the right to inform the company within 14 days from the receipt of the goods that they are withdrawing from the contract without having to give a reason for their decision. The message is considered to be timely if the mail was sent within the specified time frame. The cost of returning the product is covered by the customer. 

The customer must return the goods to the company within 14 days from the submission of the cancellation form available at this link. The customer can forward the completed form to the email address [email protected]. We will refund the amount of purchased products value (shipping costs will not be refunded) no later than 14 days with the same type of payment as used at the time of purchase, unless the use of another type of payment was explicitly required and the customer does not bear any costs as a result. For more detailed information on the return process please send an email to [email protected].

Returned goods must be undamaged and in the same quantity, with suitable (preferably original) packaging and invoice. Before mounting or assembling the goods, make sure that the goods actually suit you. In the following cases, we reserve the right to refund the customer a reduced amount of the purchase price, namely:

  • if the goods are returned mounted or assembled - the purchase price is reduced by 25% of the value or at least  25 EUR,
  • if the goods are returned visibly used or damaged - the purchase price is reduced by at least 30% of the value or at least  30 EUR (depending on the extent of the damage).

In order for the withdrawal procedure to run smoothly, we suggest that you:

  • carefully open the package and store it unchanged,
  • handle the received products carefully to avoid damage and scratches,
  • take a look at the goods and see if it actually suits you,
  • if the goods do not suit you, do not mount or assemble them, but return them in the original and undamaged packaging to avoid reducing the refund,
  • in case you have ordered a larger number of identical products, we suggest that you open one product first, as it is enough to view one product to check the suitability of the goods.

If the purchase is carried out by a legal entity in EU, regardless of its legal organizational form or ownership, the terms of this Article shall not apply. In these and similar cases, we will treat any requests for the return of goods individually, taking into account all reasons and circumstances as much as possible.

Privacy policy

The seller undertakes to permanently protect all personal data of the user, in accordance with the applicable legislation of the Republic of Slovenia and the European Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). 

The seller will use personal data exclusively for the purpose of fulfilling the order (sending information material, offers, invoices) and other necessary communication.

In no case shall the user's information be handed over to unauthorised persons.

The seller uses appropriate technological and organisational means to protect the transfer and storage of personal data, orders and payments.

Communication

The seller reserves the right to contact the customer via the provided phone number to verify the provided information or request additional information in order to complete the order.

The seller will send the customer via email:

  • order summary,
  • confirmation of receipt of payment,
  • notice of the shipped order
  • any other notices regarding the execution of the contract.

The customer's email can also be used by the seller to send advertisements (announcements of various sales, promotions, ...) if the user has explicitly agreed to this. The customer can unsubscribe at any time from receiving e-news. The user's wish not to receive advertising messages anymore will be explicitly respected by the seller.

Disclaimer

The seller does his best to ensure that the information published on the online store is up-to-date and correct. Nevertheless, the properties of the articles, the delivery period or the price may change so quickly that the administrator fails to correct the information on the web pages. In this case, the seller will inform the customer of the changes and allow them to cancel the order or to change the ordered goods.

Although the seller strives to provide accurate photographs of the products sold, all photographs must be taken as symbolic. Pictures do not guarantee the product features.

Complaints and disputes

The seller respects the applicable consumer protection legislation. The seller shall endeavour to fulfil their duty to establish an effective system for handling complaints and to identify the person whom the customer can contact via the telephone or e-mail if any problem arises. The complaint should be submitted via the email address [email protected]. The procedure for handling a complaint is confidential.

The seller will confirm within five working days that they have received the complaint, inform the customer how long they will handle it, and keep them informed about the progress of the procedure.

The seller is aware that the essential characteristic of the customer's dispute, at least in terms of judicial resolution, is the disproportion between the economic value of the claim and the costs arising in the resolution of the dispute itself. This is also a major obstacle to the consumer from bringing a dispute to court. That's why the seller strives to do their best to resolve any dispute by mutual consent.

Out-of-court settlement of consumer disputes can be initiated by consumers through the SRPS platform, available on this link.
