6. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED

To place an order, you must follow the online shopping process and click on “Place Order” to submit the order. After this, you will receive an email from us confirming receipt of your order (the “Order Confirmation”). All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm this acceptance to you by sending you an email that confirms that the item is being sent (the “Delivery Sent”). Along with the Shipping Confirmation there will be an electronic confirmation containing everything you ordered (“Confirmation”).

7. AVAILABILITY OF ITEMS

All orders for items are subject to availability and in this regard, in the event of supply difficulties or because items are no longer in stock, we reserve the right to give you information about substitute items of an equal or higher quality and value which you can order. If you do not wish to order the substitute items we will reimburse any monies that you may have paid.

8. REFUSAL OF ORDER

We reserve the right to withdraw any items from this website at any time and/or remove or edit any materials or content on this website. Whilst we will use our reasonable endeavours to process all the orders submitted to us, there may be exceptional circumstances which mean that we may need to refuse to process or accept an order after we have received it or sent you an Order Confirmation, which we reserve the right to do at any time.

We will not be liable to you or any other third party by reason of our withdrawing any item from this website, removing or editing any materials or content on this website, or for refusing to process or accept an order after we have received it or sent you an Order Confirmation.

9. DELIVERY

Subject to availability (see Clause 7 above), and unless there are any exceptional circumstances, we will endeavour to fulfil your order for items listed in the Shipping Confirmation by the delivery date set out in the Shipping Confirmation or, if no estimated delivery date is specified, then within a maximum of 30 days of the date of the Order Confirmation. 

However, there can be a delay in delivery due to unforeseen circumstance or delivery zones.

For the purpose of these Terms, “delivery” or “delivered” shall be deemed to have occurred when you or a third party nominated by you acquires physical possession of the items, which will be evidenced by the signing for receipt of the items at the agreed delivery address.

10. UNABLE TO DELIVER

If we are unable to deliver, our courier service will try to contact you. If they are unable to reach you, your order will be returned to our warehouse.

Along side previously mentioned, we will notify you where your order is located and what you need to do to get it delivered again. If you won’t be present for the delivery at arranged time, we kindly ask you to let our courier service or us know so we can arrange the delivery on another day.

If after 15 days from the date your order is available for delivery, the order could not be delivered for reasons not attributable to us, we will assume that you wish to cancel the Contract and it will be terminated. As a result of the termination of the Contract, we will return to you all payments received from you, including delivery charges (except for any additional costs resulting from your choice of any delivery method other than the ordinary delivery method that we offer) without any undue delay, and at any rate, within 14 days of the date on which this Contract has been terminated. 

Keep in mind that we have right to charge you any additional transport costs made by terminating the contract.

11. RISK AND TITLE

The Items will be at your risk from the time of delivery as mentioned in Clause 9. 

Ownership of the items will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the items, including delivery charges, or upon delivery (as defined in Clause 9), whichever is the later.

12. PRICE AND PAYMENT

The price of any items will be as stipulated on our website from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. While we try to ensure that all prices on this website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of items you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming the order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you, the order will be treated as cancelled and if you have already paid for the items you will receive a full refund.

We are under no obligation to provide the items to you at the incorrect (lower) price (even after we have sent you a Shipping Confirmation) if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as an incorrect price. 

The prices on this website include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due.

Prices are liable to change at any time, but (other than as set out above) changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you an Order Confirmation. 

Once you have finished shopping, all the items you wish to purchase are added to your basket and your next step will be to go to the checkout process and make payment. To do this, you must follow the steps of the purchase process, completing or verifying the information requested in each step. Throughout the purchase process, before payment, you can modify the details of your order. Also, if you are a registered user, a record of all the orders placed by you is available in the “My Account — Orders“ area. 

Payment can be made with the following credit cards: AMEX, Diners, Discover, Maestro, Mastercard i Visa.

To minimise the possibility of unauthorised access, your credit card details will be encrypted. After receiving your order, your card will be immediately charged and our courier service will be notified that your order is ready for pickup. They will pick it up according to their schedule.

By clicking “Place Order” you are confirming that the credit card is yours or that you are the legitimate holder of the credit voucher card.

Credit cards are subject to validation checks and authorisation by your card issuer, but if your card issuer fails to authorise payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery and may not be able to form a contract with you. 

We conduct payments in EUR currency, so your purchase is potentially an international transaction and therefore your bank can charge you extra fees for currency exchange into EUR at their rate. Thus, if amount paid/owed on the transaction on your credit card varies from the one displayed at the end of the buying process/approved refund, contact your bank for additional information about bank fees and currency exchange rates tied to such transactions.

13. BUYING ITEMS AS A GUEST

The functionality of buying items as a guest is also available on this website. For this type of purchase, we will only request from you the essential data that is required to process your order. Upon completion of the purchase process, you will be offered the possibility of registering as a user or continuing as a non- registered user.

14. VALUE ADDED TAX

According to current rules and regulations, all purchases done through this website are subject to the statutory Value Added Tax (VAT), except for customers outside of EU.

In this respect, VAT is charged at the rate of the country where this website is based (Croatia).

In accordance with the applicable rules and regulations in each jurisdiction, the “tax liability transfer” rule (Article 194 of Directive 2006/112/EC) may apply to goods delivered in some EU member states if the buyer is a taxpayer or is considered a taxpayer for VAT purposes. If this is the case, we will not charge VAT, provided that the customer will confirm the VAT on the items delivered to the buyer in accordance with the procedure for transferring the tax liability.

In the case of orders to be delivered to the Canary Islands and Ceuta and Melilla, they shall be reduced by the VAT as provided for in Article 146 of the said Directive, regarding the application of the relevant taxes and duties in accordance with the rules and regulations in force.

15. RETURNS POLICY

15.1. Statutory right of withdrawal
Right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from your order within 14 days, without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period is counted from the day that you or another person you named, except the courier, have taken the order into physical possession or in case of multiple items from a single order delivered separately, after 14 days since you or another person you named, except the courier, have taken into physical possession the last item(s) in your order.

To exercise your right to withdraw you can contact the company Varžak med d.o.o. by sending an email at hello@mediterra.hr; by visiting “My Account” on the website or by using our contact form and stating unequivocally your desire to withdraw (e.g. physical letter or email). You may also use the model cancellation form as set out in the Appendix to these terms, although it is not obligatory.

However, to meet the withdrawal period, it is sufficient for you to let us know about your decision to withdraw from your order before the withdrawal period has expired. 

Effects of withdrawal

If you decide to withdraw, we will refund all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except additional costs which are result of your choice of delivery and which differs from the regular delivery we offer), without undue delay and in any event no later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw. We will use the same means of payment that you used to pay for your order and this will not cause you any extra fees. Notwithstanding this, We may withhold the refund until we have received the items back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the items, whichever is the earlier. 

You must send back the items or hand them over to us without undue delay, and in any event no later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw. The deadline will be considered as met if you return the items before the expiration of a 14 day deadline.

You are only liable for any diminished value of the items resulting from their handling, other than that which is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the items. 

15.2. Contractual right of withdrawal

Aside from the statutory right to withdraw from the contract defined in Clause 15.1, we provide you with the period of 30 days since the day of the delivery to return the items (except products defined in Clause 15.3, which are excluded from the right to withdraw).

In case you return the items within the defined statutory period where you have the right to withdraw after the legal statutory period, we will refund the payments made for the items. We will not refund the delivery costs.

Your right to withdraw can be can be put in effect in respect to Clause 15.1. However, if you notify us about your intent to withdraw after the legal deadline, you have to return the items in every case within 30 days of receiving the Shipping Confirmation.

15.3 Mutual provisions

You have no right of withdrawal for the items that have been made to your specifications or clearly personalised. 

If the buyer returns the item without original packaging and/or damaged and/or with signs of evident use, and wants to invoke the right of withdrawal, we are not compelled to reimburse the payment. The same applies if the buyer, with regard to packaging and acceptable handling to establish the nature of the item, returns the item damaged or diminished in value resulting in inability to sell the item (unfit to sell).

After invoking the right to withdraw you can return the items in the following manner:

(i) Return to Mediterra offices:
You may return any item personally to the offices of Mediterra. You just need to present, as well as the item, the e-ticket that was attached to the Shipping Confirmation, which is also saved under your account on our website. You can present the e-ticket either by showing it in digital form on your mobile phone, or by bringing a print-out of the e-ticket. 

(ii) Returns by Courier:
When returning the item(s) by a courier it is your duty to notify us of time and mean of return, as well as the expected delivery time, on hello@mediterra.hr or by filling out our contact form.

Please bear in mind that the second option incurs additional expenses for you. In case that you use some other form of delivery, except the aforementioned above), you will be responsible for the return costs.

After examining the items, we will inform you of whether you have the right to reimbursement of the amounts paid. Delivery costs will be reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised within the statutory period and all the items which the relevant parcel consisted of are returned. The refund will be paid as soon as possible and, in all cases, within 14 days from the date on which you notified us of your intention to cancel. Notwithstanding this, we may withhold the reimbursement until we have received the items back, or until you have supplied sufficient evidence of having sent back the items, whichever is the earlier. The refund will always be paid using the same payment means you used to pay for your purchase. 

You are responsible for the cost and risk of returning the items to us, as indicated above.

If you have any questions, you can contact us via our contact form or by sending an email to hello@mediterra.hr

15.4. Returns of defective items

If you believe that the product does not fit the description from the Contract at the time of the delivery, please contact us by sending an email at hello@mediterra.hr; through “My Account” section on the website or via our contact form and provide us with details about the item and its damage.

The item must be returned to our offices in Croatia or via the courier that we used to send the item to your address.

We will examine the item and we will notify you about it within reasonable time via email wether the item can be replaced or are you entitled for a refund (if necessary). Refund or replacement of the item will be done as soon as possible, and in any case within 14 days since you received the email that confirms processing of the refund or replacement.

If the returned item is deemed to be defective, we will provide a full refund including all the delivery charges. We will bear the burden of all expenses in such way as described by law and we reserve the right to decline paying for expenses which were obviously unnecessary or not needed to preserve your rights as a buyer.
