- DELIVERY
Notwithstanding the foregoing provision of Clause 7 above regarding product availability, and unless extraordinary circumstances occur, we will attempt to ship the order for the products listed in each Delivery Confirmation prior to the date on the Delivery Confirmation in question or, if no delivery date has been specified, within 30 days of the Order Confirmation date.
However, delays may occur for any of the following reasons:

If we cannot get in contact with you, your order will be cancelled and any amount paid will be refunded in full.

The prices on this website include VAT and do not include shipping costs, which will be paid by us.
Prices may change at any time, but (except as stated above) possible changes will not affect orders for which we have already sent an Order Confirmation.

By clicking on “Finish Order”, you confirm that the credit card belongs to you or that you are the legitimate holder of the gift card or payment card.

Which data do we collect?
If you register on our website, some of your personal user data may be processed: name, email, delivery address and date of birth. Additionally, we may process other data for the reasons already listed in other sections.
On what grounds and for which purposes?
Your data is only processed with your consent, which you may withdraw at any time. To this end, you should send us a written statement to that effect using one of the channels indicated in the general information. The data processing authorized by this statement is intended to allow you to log in to our site, making the online shopping and contact experience quicker and easier by allowing your personal data (such as name, email address, delivery address and date of birth) to be automatically recorded and preventing you from having to enter them each time you interact with the website.
However, if pre-contractual steps are taken or a contract is entered into, the grounds and purpose of the treatment will not be subject to your consent, but will also be related to purposes and grounds intrinsically linked to pre-contractual activities and contractual formalisation, implementation, management and evaluation.

However, if we are asked to provide a quote or if contracts are entered into, your data will be kept for as long as necessary to satisfy the underlying contract or for as long as the processing is permissible, whichever comes first. This is determined on a case-by-case basis and depends on factors such as the nature of the data, the purpose of their collection and processing and any relevant operational or legal needs to maintain them. Thus, as an example, for purposes of demonstrating compliance with tax obligations, data may be retained for 10/12 years. Such retention periods may be extended by reason of legal action up to six months after the transfer of the data to judicial institutions or the final judgment. After this period, your data will be anonymised or safely destroyed.
With whom we may share your data
Your data may be processed in subcontracts and may have to be communicated to third parties in strict accordance with their purposes and in compliance with the data controller’s legal obligations.
Therefore, personal data may be shared with the following entities, among others: legal advisors/lawyers; carriers/entities that transport and ship goods/parcels; accountants/statutory auditors; computer consultants; financial and banking institutions that manage accounts for our payments/receipts; tax authorities; enforcement agents;
entities to whom data must be communicated by law or at the request of the data subject.
