You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

4. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMALISED

This information and the details contained on this website do not constitute an offer of sale, but rather an invitation to do business. No contract will exist between you and us in relation to any product until we have expressly accepted your order (even if the price has already been charged to your account). If your order is not accepted and any charge has been made to your account, the amount of this will be repaid to you in full.

To place an order, follow the online purchase procedure and click on "I authorise payment". Next, you will receive an email confirming receipt of your order (the "Order Confirmation"). Remember that this does not mean your order has been accepted, as this order is an offer you are making to us for the purchase of one or more products. All orders are subject to our acceptance and we will confirm this acceptance in an email confirming that the product is being shipped (The Shipment Confirmation). The contract between us for the purchase of a product is only formalised when we send you the Shipment Confirmation.

Only the products listed in the Shipment Confirmation will be included in the Contract. We are not obliged to supply you with any product you have ordered until we confirm shipment of the same in a separate Shipment Confirmation.

5. PRODUCT AVAILABILITY

All product orders are subject to availability and if for this reason difficulties should arise in product supply or if articles go out of stock, we reserve the right to inform you of replacement products of equal or superior quality that you can order instead. If you do not wish to order these replacement products, we will reimburse any sum you may have paid.

6. REFUSAL TO PROCESS AN ORDER

We reserve the right to withdraw any Product from this website at any time and/or to remove or modify any of its material or content. Although we will make every effort to process all orders, exceptional circumstances may arise that oblige us to refuse to process an order after sending the Order confirmation and we reserve the right to do this at any time, at our sole discretion.

We will not be responsible vis-à-vis you or any third party for the withdrawal of any product from this website, irrespective of whether or not this product has been sold, for the removal or modification of any site material or content or for refusing to process an order once we have sent the Order Confirmation.

7. RIGHT TO CANCEL THE PURCHASE

If you are purchasing as a consumer, you can cancel the Contract at any time within 30 days of the date you receive the products. In this case, you will be reimbursed for the price paid for the said products in accordance with our Returns Policy (see Clause 13).

Your right to cancel the Contract will only apply to products returned in the same condition as received by you. You must also include all the products’ instructions, documents and packaging. No reimbursement will be made if the product has been used or damaged and therefore you must be careful with the product or products while they are in your possession.

You are not entitled to cancel a Contract for the supply of the following Products:

  • Personalised articles

Please handle products with all due care while they are in your possession and, if possible, keep the original boxes and packaging in case you should return them.

This provision does not affect consumer rights enshrined in applicable legislation.

8. DELIVERY

Without prejudice to the provisions of Clause 5 above and save in the event of extraordinary circumstances, we will try to send the order for the product(s) listed in the Shipment Order by the delivery date detailed on the same, otherwise, Delays may be due to one of the following reasons:

  • Personalisation of products.
  • Specialised products.
  • Unforeseen circumstances.
  • Delivery zone.

If we cannot meet the delivery date for any reason, we will inform you of this situation and will give you the option either to continue with the purchase, setting a new delivery date, or to cancel the order with total reimbursement of the price paid. In any case, bear in mind that we do not deliver on Saturdays and Sundays.

Except where due to our negligence, we will not be responsible for any property not duly removed if you could have taken reasonable steps to eliminate or minimise the risk.

Please make sure that the products ordered fit into your home in the places you intend to place them or in the delivery zones. If the product(s) do not fit, at this time you can still either accept the delivery or return the products, taking into account that the return will be charged to you (for further details, see our Returns Policy).

For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “delivery” will be understood to have been made or the fact that the products have been “delivered” will be acknowledged at the moment you sign for receipt of the same at the agreed delivery address.

If we cannot get in contact with you, the order will be considered cancelled and you will be fully reimbursed for any sums paid.

12. VALUE ADDED TAX

In accordance with applicable law, any purchase made via the website will be subject to Value Added Tax (VAT), except those to be shipped to the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla.
In this respect and in accordance with Chapter I of Heading V of Council Directive 2006/112, of 28 November 2006, regarding the common VAT system, deliveries will be understood to be located in the Member State figuring in the delivery addresses of the articles as provided in each order, and the rate of VAT applicable will be the current legal rate in each Member State to which the articles in each order are to be shipped.

In accordance with the law applicable in each jurisdiction, for deliveries of goods made in certain European Union member states to a business or professional addressee, the “reversal of taxpayer” rule (article 194 of Directive 2006/112) may apply, which would mean that ITX E-Commerce Ireland Limited would not be liable to pay VAT, without prejudice to the addressee’s obligation to pay the remaining tax due in the operation.

In orders to be shipped to the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla, deliveries would be exempt of VAT by application of the provisions of article 146 of the said Directive, without prejudice to the application of the corresponding taxes and duties in accordance with the laws of each.

If during a Contract’s period of effect we should fail to insist upon the strict fulfilment of any of the obligations assumed under it or under any of these Terms and Conditions, or should fail to exercise any of the rights or actions we are entitled to exercise or bring under the said Contract or these Terms and Conditions, this will not constitute a renunciation of the said rights or actions or exonerate you from fulfilling these obligations.
