All disputes arising out of or relating to these legal terms or any contractual or non-contractual obligations arising out of or relating to the legal terms shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of Spanish courts or the jurisdiction of the courts of your place of residence, if so provided under the applicable law.

INFORMATION ON PRODUCTS AND AVAILABILITY

Information on products and relevant prices are available on the website. 

Oktaaf reserves the right at any time to limit quantities and/or type of products available in the website. During the purchasing process, an automatic response will inform the client if the order cannot be processed due to the unavailability of the ordered products; Oktaaf is not liable towards the client in case of unavailability of the products prior to the execution of the contract.

PRICES OF PRODUCTS

The prices of the products are indicated on the website in Euro and are inclusive of all applicable taxes and charges, as well as delivery costs.

Oktaaf regularly verifies that prices of the products displayed on the website are correct; however, Oktaaf cannot guarantee the absence of errors. In the event that an error in the pricing of a product is detected, Oktaaf shall refuse the order and offer the client the opportunity to purchase the product at the correct price. If the error is detected after the order has been accepted, Oktaaf will also offer the client the opportunity to cancel the order.

We do not provide VAT-refund service for orders placed on our website.

ORDER PLACEMENT

To place an order for one or more products on Oktaaf.com, you must (i) include the selected products in the “shopping cart” by clicking on the relevant button, (ii) fill in the order proposal, (iii) select the payment modality, (iv) accept the legal terms and (v) send the order proposal to Oktaaf through the website.

On the order confirmation page, which appears just before the completion of your order, we will provide you with a summary of the main characteristics of each product ordered, the price including all applicable fees, taxes and the cost of shipping.

The order form sent to the vendor will be filed in our database for the time required to process your order and as stated by law.

English is the language used for finalising the contract with the vendor. We only accept orders from customers aged 18 and over.

After your order form has been submitted, the vendor will process your order. Following placement of your order, the vendor will send you an automatic acknowledgement of receipt. This does not constitute acceptance of your order by the vendor nor does a contract between you and the vendor exist at this point in time in respect of your order. The vendor's acceptance of your order will take place when the vendor emails you to confirm that the order has been dispatched, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and the vendor. The acceptance email represents an electronic purchase order receipt and contains all relevant information relating to your order.

If the vendor is unable to accept your order for any reason (including any of the reasons described before, or if a product is out of stock), the vendor will inform you of this. In case of unavailability of one or more of the ordered products, the client will receive an email duly informing him about the unavailability of the products. In this case the order proposal will be cancelled or partially accepted just in relation to the available products. In case of partial acceptance, the client shall pay (or shall be charged, in case of payment through the credit card) only the price of the available products.

The vendor is also entitled to cancel your order, even after accepting it, in the following circumstances: one of several of the products is not available; the vendor has identified an obvious and unmistakable error in the price or description of the product; the vendor suspects illegal or fraudulent activity; or you have not complied with these legal terms. If so, the vendor will notify you as soon as possible of such cancellation and require you to return the products if they have already been delivered to you.

By submitting an order form, you unconditionally accept and undertake to observe the provisions of these legal terms in your contract with the vendor. Should you not agree with certain provisions of these legal terms, please do not submit your order form for the purchase of products on Oktaaf.com.

By submitting an order form, you agree and accept these legal terms as well as further conditions contained on Oktaaf, including those accessed via links, and including the privacy policy, refund and return policy.

PAYMENT

We accept payment by credit/debit card, by PayPal, by bank transfer or other payment methods as they become available from time to time by notice on our website. Payment must be made in Euro. In case of a payment by bank transfer, we will send you Oktaaf’s bank details by email.

You must pay before goods are dispatched to you. You will be debited once you have placed your order and it has been accepted by us.

If your payment cannot be processed for any reason (including, for example, stopped payment, refusal by the issuer of the card), your order will be cancelled and the contract with you ended immediately. We will inform you of this.

Payments through our website are managed on-line with the relevant banking organisations through facilities offered by Shopify, a third party based in Canada which enables us to accept and manage payments, mitigate fraud, and secure payment data. Your personal information including your name, email address, delivery details, telephone number, details of the order placed and credit/debit card or other payment details will be disclosed and used by Shopify for the purposes of providing fraud screening services to us and to its own customers.

To ensure that your credit, debit or charge card is not being used without your consent, we will validate the name, address and other personal information supplied by you during the order process against appropriate third party databases in accordance with our privacy policy. In performing these checks, personal information provided by you may be disclosed to a registered credit reference agency which may keep a record of that information. This is done only to confirm your identity, and does not imply the performance of a credit check.

If an order placed by you is considered to be fraudulent or otherwise made in breach of these legal terms, the sale will be cancelled immediately, and in the event that any sums have already been debited to you, they will be refunded within 14 business days after such notification.

SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

The purchased products shall be delivered by a courier service selected by Oktaaf on working days. Products shall be delivered to the address indicated by the client in the order proposal. Oktaaf shall not deliver to PO boxes.

Time of delivery can suffer delay depending on several factors: production time in the case of some product being specifically produced or sized to the client’s specifications; delays in legal export and import permits for international antiquities trading. In case the delivery has not occurred within three months, the client is entitled to repudiate the contract and Oktaaf shall, without undue delay, reimburse all sums paid under the contract.

At the time of delivery of the products by the courier, the client (or a nominated representative) is required to:

(i) verify that the number of items being delivered corresponds to that indicated on the delivery note;

(ii) verify that the packaging and its seals are intact, undamaged, not wet or altered in any manner;

(iii) sign the delivery note; and

(iv) if requested by the courier, show his/her ID.

Any damages to the packaging and/or the products, or discrepancies in the number of items or documentation must be immediately indicated in writing on the courier’s delivery note. 

If no one is available at your address to take delivery, we will leave you a note asking you to contact us in order to arrange an alternative delivery date. If, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery we may end the contract as detailed below.

Oktaaf shall send to the client a shipping confirmation via email once the products are dispatched and a further email once the products have been delivered.

The risk of loss of or damage to the products shall pass to the client when the client (or a third party indicated by the client and other than the carrier) has acquired the physical possession of the products.

Except to the extent permitted under applicable laws, once the courier’s document has been signed and no objection has been raised by the client, the client may not make any objection to the exterior characteristics of the delivered parcel. The client is entitled to subsequently raise objections in relation to any other features related to the products or to exercise his right of withdrawal. These must be communicated in writing within 24 hours of the actual delivery date.

RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

The client has the right to withdraw from the contract with no reason within 30 (thirty) days from the date in which the client (or the representative duly authorized to receive the products) obtains the physical possession of the products and in case of partial deliveries, the last product.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, the client will contact Oktaaf via the “Contact us” section of this website, or via email at karel<at>oktaaf.com. Please make a clear statement setting out your decision to withdraw from the contract, indicating name and address, phone number, email address, list of products, date of order at Oktaaf.com, together with the reasons to withdraw from the contract. We will send you an acknowledgement of receipt via email.

RETURNS AND REFUNDS

Without undue delay, and in any event no later than 14 (fourteen) days after the communication of withdrawal, the client shall return the purchased products to Oktaaf at Velodroomstraat 17, 9940 Evergem, Belgium. The client shall be responsible for the products until Oktaaf has acquired the physical possession of the products.

The products shall be returned in their original condition, unaltered, unused, undamaged and with original tags and labels attached. In the event of any diminished value of the products resulting from the handling of the goods by the client other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods, Oktaaf reserves the right to refuse the return of the products. The client shall be liable for any diminished value of the products resulting from the handling of the goods other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

We reserve our right not to accept any return if the product shows signs of wear, or has been used or altered from its original condition in any way or, as an alternative, may reduce the amount of any applicable refund or exchange accordingly. For example, we may make a reduction in the following circumstances: the product(s) have been used, worn, damaged or washed; the identification tag or certificate of authenticity is not attached to the product(s), or has not been returned. Please note that identification tag or certificate of authenticity constitutes an integral part of each product; and/or you have not returned any packaging which is an integral part of a product.

You will be informed if we propose to reduce your refund for this reason. In this instance, you may (as an alternative to us providing you with a reduced refund) choose to have the products sent back to you at your own expense. Should you refuse this option, Oktaaf reserves the right to retain the products and the amount indicated for the decrease in refund, due to the decrease in value of the returned products.

If you are entitled to return product(s) to the vendor and have complied with the conditions set out in this return policy, you will receive an email confirming that the return has been accepted. This will state the amount of refund due, including the possible reasonable costs of delivery.

Oktaaf shall reimburse the refund, within 14 (fourteen) days of the day on which Oktaaf has received the products back or the client has supplied evidence of having sent back the products, whichever is the earliest. Reimbursement shall be executed by Oktaaf using the same means of payment as the client used for the initial transaction, unless the client has expressly agreed otherwise and provided that the client does not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

OUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT

We may end the contract if you break it. We may end the contract for a product at any time by writing to you if: you do not make any payment to us when it is due; you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the products to you or collect them from us or if an order placed by you is considered to be fraudulent or otherwise made in breach of these legal terms.

You must compensate us if you break the contract. If we end the contract in the situations set out in before, we will refund any money you have paid in advance for products we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the contract.

COOKIE POLICY

WHAT ARE COOKIES

This website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users. Cookies are small pieces of information sent by a web server to a web browser, which allows the server to authenticate the identity of the browser on each page. This helps us to analyze the use of the website to customize and improve the content and the layout of the website. 

The cookies we use on our website include:

> Session cookies: These temporary cookies expire and are automatically erased whenever you close your browser window. We use session cookies to grant our users access to content and to enable actions they must be logged in to do.

> Persistent cookies: These usually have an expiration date in the distant future and remain in your browser until they expire or you manually delete them. We use persistent cookies to better understand usage patterns so we can improve the website for our customers. For example, we may use a persistent cookie to associate you with your user account or to remember that your choices on the website, but this only works when cookies on our website are enabled. We do not use technology that recognizes a “do not track” signal from your web browser.

When you first access our website from certain jurisdictions, you may receive a message advising you that cookies and similar technologies are in use.

THE COOKIES USED ON OUR WEBSITE

The cookies we and our business partners use on our online services can be grouped into the following categories:

> Essential cookies: Some of the cookies on our online services are essential for us to be able to provide you with a service you have requested. An example of this would be a cookie that enables you to log into your account on the website, or one which allows communication between your browser and the website. You may opt out of using these cookies, but you may not be able to use our website without them.

> Website functionality cookies: These cookies enable you to browse our online services and use features such as shopping baskets and wish lists.

> Website analytics cookies: We use these cookies to measure and analyse how our customers use our online services. An example is counting the number of different people visiting our website or using a particular feature, rather than the total number of times the site or feature is used. This allows us to continuously improve our online services and your shopping experience.

> Customer preference cookies: When browsing or shopping online, our online services will remember preferences you make (for example your user name, language or location). This improves your experience and makes your browsing simpler, easier and more personal to you.

> Social sharing cookies: We use cookies to allow you to share content directly on social networking/sharing sites like Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. Examples would be if you wanted to 'like' or 'tweet' about a product advertised on our online services.

> Interest-based advertising cookies: You will have noticed, when visiting other websites, that you are shown adverts for products and services you may wish to buy. The money made by website owners for showing third-party adverts on their websites often pays for the cost of running the website, and therefore often allows you to use the website without having to pay a registration or usage fee. Like many businesses, we place adverts for our products and services on a range of our partners' websites. To try and ensure that the adverts you see are relevant to you, we use cookies to collect information about the types of things that interest you, for example websites you visit and your geographic location. Having these cookies does not increase the number of adverts you will be shown, but simply makes the adverts you see more relevant. In addition, they limit the number of times you see an advertisement, as well as helping us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. We do not collect any personal data within these cookies.

THIRD PARTY COOKIES

We permit limited third parties to place cookies through the website to provide us with better insights into the use of the website or user demographics or to provide relevant advertising to you. These third parties may collect information about a consumer’s online activities over time and across different websites when he or she uses our website.  This may include browsing or shopping information. 

We may also permit third party service providers to place cookies through our website, as indicated above, to perform analytics or marketing functions where you are notified of them, and you have consented to the usage. We do not control the use of such third party cookies or the resulting information, and we are not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.

OPT OUT OF RECEIVING COOKIES

When you first access our website from certain jurisdictions, you will receive a message advising you that cookies and similar technologies are in use. By closing the message, or continuing to browse the website, you signify that you understand and agree to the use of 

these technologies, as described in this cookie policy.

You do not have to accept cookies and consent can be withdrawn at any time, although you may not be able to use certain features on the website. You can do this by activating the settings on your browser that allows you to refuse all or some cookies.

A web beacon (also known as a “tracking pixel” or “clear GIF”) is a clear graphic image (typically a one-pixel tag) that is delivered through a web browser or HTML email, typically in conjunction with a cookie.

Web beacons allow us, for example, to monitor how users move from one page within our website to another, to track access to our communications, to understand whether users have come to our websites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to measure how ads have been viewed and to improve site performance.

> Business purpose service providers: In order to function properly, we rely on a select number of third parties who offer their services and products to us. We allow these companies to use your information only for what is strictly necessary, for the purpose of providing us with their services and products. Below you will find the types of providers we have, some may and some may not be involved in the processing of your information:

- Carrier companies that we use to deliver the products and, therefore, they need to have access to the information of your order, which includes your name and address. These providers have a global reach, with several local companies that can be involved in the delivery process, depending on your shipping address.

- Payment providers, which we use to process your payment information (such as your credit / debit card details) so that we can receive your payment. These are based in the European Union, the United States and China, and are involved in the process depending on your location.

- Anti-fraud and credit validation providers, to keep you and us safe. They have access to your information and associated orders, and process them in order to verify any fraudulent behavior. Our current suppliers are in the United States, Canada and Europe.

- Analytics and search engine providers, such as Google, that we use to help you improve and optimize the website. These providers are located in the United States and Europe.

These partners are located in the United States. We do this to better understand your customer profile and interests, so that we can give you offers especially for you, as well as specialized services;

> Role of third parties when considering a corporate transaction: Oktaaf is always looking for new directions and opportunities for growth. This means that, on some occasions, we may consider corporate transactions, such as mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations, sale of assets or the like. In this way, we can transfer your information to allow the appreciation and completion of this transaction. If we buy or sell any business or asset, your personal information may be one of the assets to be transferred;

> To comply with legal requirements: on occasion, we may be asked to cooperate with various regulators and security agencies in different countries, whether due to legal requirement, court order or any other legal process.

These third parties may include providers of plugins or similar technologies to help measure traffic; and our investors.

TRANSFER OF YOUR DATA

You are advised to be aware that the personal information we receive from you and about you may be held on our computers and systems in the European Union and in the computers and systems of our offices and data centers in the United States and may be accessed by or given to our staff working outside the European Union.

Your personal information may be processed by us in the United States or Canada, where laws regarding data protection may be less stringent than the laws in your country. By using this website and by providing any personal information to the website, all users, including without limitation users in Canada, the UK and the European Union, acknowledge Oktaaf’s collection and processing of such personal information in the United States.

When disclosing personal information from the EU and the UK to a third party (e.g. our shipping agents) located in a country  not recognized by the European Commission as ensuring an adequate level of protection (e.g., the United States), we will take appropriate steps to safeguard such personal information, such as by implementing the European Commission-approved standard contractual clauses.

For the avoidance of doubt, Oktaaf does not rely upon the now invalidated U.S. Department of Commerce Privacy Shield Framework in order to receive EU personal information in the U.S.  For further details, please contact us at asistant<at>debeule.com.

Please note that transmission of personal information via the internet is not completely secure and although we will endeavor to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to our website; any transmission is therefore at your own risk. However, once we have received your information, we will use procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.
