These General Business Terms shall apply in place of, prevail over and supersede any other terms and conditions contained or referred to elsewhere (whether in correspondence or otherwise) or implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealings, unless specifically agreed to in writing by us or our authorised representative. Any purported provisions to the contrary are hereby excluded. The current version of these General Business Terms published on the website at the time of the conclusion of the contract between us shall be the version that shall govern the contract between us.


Products ordered via this website will only be delivered to the Czech Republic.


You must be aged eighteen (18) years or older to purchase any Products made available via the Wolford Online-Boutique.

2 MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM ORDER VALUE

In the Wolford Online-Boutique there is no minimum order value and consumers can spend up to a maximum of EUR 5,000.00 per order.

3 PRICES

The prices shown in the shopping basket before the order is confirmed shall apply exclusively to the Products ordered via the Wolford Online-Boutique. All prices include the applicable rate of value added tax.

If a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing we are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even if we have already sent you confirmation of your order. We will tell you of the correct price and you may decide whether to cancel your order or order the Product at the correct price.

4 SHARE OF SHIPMENT COSTS

Orders placed in the WOLFORD online shop with a value below 50 EUR will incur shipping costs of 3.90 EUR for standard shipping with DHL. In the event of a return, the shipping costs incurred will not be refunded.

5 CONTRACT

By clicking on the button "send order" at the end of the order process you submit an offer to purchase the Products from Wolford.


After you place your order, we will confirm receipt of your order both on the following Internet page as well as via e-mail to the email address that you submit during the order process. Neither represent any acceptance of your offer, but will merely confirm receipt of your order. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy the Product(s).


All orders are subject to acceptance by Wolford and if we are able to accept your order, we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an email that confirms that the Product(s) has been dispatched to you. The contract will only be concluded between Wolford and you when we dispatch the ordered Product(s) to you and inform you thereof by e-mail, even if you have already made an advance payment by bank transfer in respect of the Products. We will endeavour to dispatch and thereby accept your order within a period of seven working days after receipt of the order. Saturdays and Sundays are not considered to be working days. We will only be obliged to supply those Products whose dispatch we confirm to you by such dispatch email. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order but which are not specifically confirmed in such dispatch email unless or until the dispatch of such Product has been confirmed in a separate dispatch email.


Wolford is entitled to reject your order in full or in part for any reason (including, without limitation, unexpected delivery difficulties or a negative credit check assessment). If you have already made an advance payment in respect of any Products and we are unable to dispatch and thereby accept your order, we will of course reimburse you such advance payments in full.

6 RESERVATION OF TITLE

We shall retain ownership and title to the Products until payment of the purchase price has been received in full. Until ownership of the Products has passed to you, you: (a) shall hold the Products on a fiduciary basis as our bailee; (b) undertake to treat the Products carefully and maintain the Products in satisfactory condition; and (c) shall not destroy, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Products.


Your right to possession of the Products shall terminate immediately if: (a) you are adjudicated bankrupt, enter into administration or liquidation or otherwise become insolvent; (b) you encumber or in any way charge any of the Products; or (c) you are found to be in breach of contract, for example by defaulting on your payment obligations. You hereby grant to us and our authorised representative an irrevocable licence at any time to enter any premises where the Products are or may be stored in order for us to recover the Products where your right to possession has terminated.

7 DELIVERY, PASSING OF RISK

Subject to our acceptance of your order and the relevant Products being in stock, Wolford shall wherever possible send the Products to you promptly after receipt of your order. Therefore, you will receive the Products as soon as possible but by no later than after 30 days from the day after the day when you send us your order.


Should certain Products not be available immediately due to high demand or for any other reason, the expected delivery period will be displayed to you in the Wolford Online-Boutique. If the stated delivery deadline cannot be observed we will inform you of such by no later than the expiry of the 30 day deadline and you shall have the option of whether to leave the order in place or cancel the order.


Any times and dates stated for delivery are estimates only. We will make reasonable efforts to deliver the Products within the time specified, but we do not accept liability for any failure to deliver within that time. We will inform you by e-mail when the Products are dispatched to you from our warehouse.


The Products shall be at your risk from the time when the Products are delivered to you.

Cash on delivery

Should you choose to pay cash on delivery you will bear the respective applicable charges of the delivery company when the Products are delivered.

9 WARRANTY AND DAMAGES

Wolford has been known for the quality, reliability and comfort of its Products for decades. Each Product is inspected in detail before it leaves our warehouse and must pass through several quality controls.


We assume responsibility for the fact that the Products delivered to you are free of defects. The statutory warranty provisions apply. The images of the Products on the website are for illustrative purposes only.

To the fullest extent permissible pursuant to applicable law, we disclaim all other conditions, representations, statements and warranties, either express or implied (whether by common law, custom, statute or otherwise).

Subject to clause 10 below, if the Products do not conform with any applicable statutory warranties, we shall: (a) at our option repair or replace the defective Products; or (b) refund the price of such Products (whether full or partially) provided that you promptly notify us of your complaint and you return the defective Products to us as soon as possible.


Wolford shall not be liable for negligent breaches of duty save that nothing in these General Business Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or relating to claims that may arise from Product Liability legislation. This shall also apply to breaches of duty of possible vicarious agents. In addition, nothing in these General Business Terms shall exclude or limit our liability in any way for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation or for any other matter for which it is unlawful for us to exclude or limit, or attempt to exclude or limit our liability.


Wolford's total aggregate liability (whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise) for losses you suffer arising out of or in connection with your order is strictly limited to the purchase price of the Product purchased by you.
