excluded from the right of withdrawal and specific consumer warranties.

law in the Consumer's country, the local law shall prevail. The remaining provisions remain in

(including Ireland) and the UK, prices include VAT (in accordance with IOSS/UK VAT
schemes), unless otherwise stated for orders above the tax threshold.

order and the payment is successfully completed. In jurisdictions where the law requires

manual acceptance by the entrepreneur, the Entrepreneur reserves the right to dissolve the
agreement within 48 hours in case of stock shortages or manifest pricing errors.
3.3 Manifest Errors: The Entrepreneur is not bound by an offer in the event of a manifest
mistake or pricing error (e.g., €1.00 instead of €100.00), provided the consumer should
reasonably have understood that it was a mistake.

distribution centers (potentially outside the Consumer's region, including Asia) to optimize
costs for the Consumer.

these thresholds: The Consumer acts as the "Importer of Record". Local import duties,
customs fees, and extra VAT upon delivery are entirely for the account of the Consumer.

the Entrepreneur may deduct the actual direct return and administrative costs from the
refund.

region (e.g., in Asia). The costs for the return shipment are 100% for the account of the

high (indicatively €25-€30, depending on weight and carrier).

and proof of shipment. A valid Track & Trace proof is an absolute requirement for a refund in
case of loss during the return shipment.

cosmetics, underwear, earrings) whose seal has been broken after delivery, and custom-made
products manufactured according to the Consumer's specifications.
