The Parties agree that the applicable general terms and conditions of sale are those made available to the Client on the www.woolinspires.com website when the order is placed. If a condition should be lacking, it would then be governed by the practices in force in the distance selling sector.

OBJECT

Customers acknowledge having read these general terms and conditions of sale when placing their orders and declare that they accept them without reservation.
THE ORDER
Orders for items offered for sale on the website www.woolinspires.com can be placed via the website's automatic registration system or by sending a message to the email address [email protected]. Any order on the basis of another purchase order or an incomplete purchase order cannot engage WoolInspires.
Any order implies the acceptance without reserve of the particular conditions of sale specific to each of the items ordered (name, price, colour, weight, quantity, shipping costs or other particularities) and of the description of the ordered item as indicated on the website.
The contract of sale between the Client and Woolinspires resulting from an order placement only becomes perfect once full payment has been validated.
For a sale outside the EU and Switzerland, a prior request must be addressed to [email protected]. The sale becomes perfect only after discretionary agreement of WoolInspires to deliver in the country indicated by the Client and the validation of the full payment of the order.
Any order as well as its shipment will be confirmed by Woolinspires via the mode of order chosen by the Client. The invoice is also a confirmation of the order.
Woolinspires reserves the right to refuse any order from a Client with whom a dispute exists.
PRICES AND SHIPPING COSTS
All prices are indicated in euros, all taxes included (VAT), excluding shipping costs. Any change in the VAT rate will be automatically reflected in the sales prices. Woolinspires reserves the right to modify the prices of the items offered on its website at any time. Invoicing is made according to the prices in force at the time of the order.
The shipping costs are indicated on the site and their cost is displayed when the order is registered. They include packaging, handling and postage costs.
The Customer must provide a valid delivery address. In the event that the address provided does not allow the order to be properly delivered and the order is returned, the Customer shall be responsible for resending the package.
TAXES AND CUSTOMS DUTIES
For deliveries within the EU, the invoice will be issued with the VAT rate of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. For deliveries outside the territory of the EU, the invoice will be drawn up exclusive of tax, and in this case, customs duties, local VAT and other taxes and formalities applicable to the import of the item ordered are the sole responsibility of the Customer, who undertakes to check the possibilities of importing the items into his country of delivery.
METHOD OF PAYMENT
Payment must be in euros and can be made by credit card (via Mollie B.V.) or bank transfer. In case of payment by credit card, the Client's banking information is never communicated to Woolinspires but is processed directly via the secure and encrypted payment module of the Mollie B.V. transaction company. The Client will have to enter his details and credit card information on the secure Mollie B.V. website. Woolinspires reserves the right, in order to verify the validity of the payment, to proceed to the debit of the credit card as soon as the order is validated by the Customer.
In case of payment by bank transfer, the transfers must be stipulated free of charge for the beneficiary company Woolinspires.
RESERVATION OF OWNERSHIP
The price of the items ordered is payable when the order is placed.
The goods remain the property of Woolinspires until full payment of the sales price, including shipping costs.
DELIVERY
Woolinspires undertakes to deliver the items ordered as soon as possible but no later than 30 days after validation of payment, postmark as proof.
In case of order of an article out of stock, the Customer will be informed at the latest within 7 days after placing the order.
The delivery times displayed on the website are given for information only and may vary depending on the item ordered and the destination of the shipment. Exceeding them cannot give rise to any cancellation of the order, price reduction or damages.
In principle, the items ordered are delivered in a single consignment unless the Customer has opted to receive them in several consignments as and when the items become available. This option gives rise to an additional invoicing of the shipping costs according to the rates in force for each shipment, each considered as an individual order.
Deliveries are made by an independent carrier and against acknowledgement of receipt. In the event of absence at the time of delivery, a delivery notice will indicate where to collect the parcel. In case of non withdrawal by the Customer of his order during the conservation period of the carrier, the ordered items are returned to WoolInspires. The order will then be cancelled and the Client will be refunded the selling price minus the shipping and return costs which will remain at the Client's expense.
The Client will have to provide a valid delivery address. If the address provided does not allow the proper delivery of the order and the return of the order, the reshipment of the package will be at the expense of the Client.
The risks incurred by the goods during transport are in all cases borne by the Customer. Woolinspires cannot be held responsible for any delivery problems, loss or deterioration of the goods. In case of loss or damage an investigation will be requested from the carrier and in the case of compensation according to the carrier's general conditions, this will be paid back to the Client in the form of a refund.
WoolInspires does not incur any obligation of delivery for orders whose payment could not be validated.
WoolInspires can not be held responsible for any non-performance that would have for origin a case of force majeure, including, in particular, stock shortages, interruptions of transport or problems of import or export.

The Customer has a right of retraction allowing him to return the items ordered without giving reasons and without penalty. This right of retraction must be exercised within 10 days from the date of receipt of the order. The return shipment must be sent before the expiry of this period, the carrier's stamp being proof. This right of retraction cannot be exercised for magazines, patterns, electronic files (download), articles made at the Customer's request or made to the Customer's specifications.
If the right of retraction is used, the Customer must return the goods at his own expense in perfect condition, without traces of use, unopened, unsealed or damaged (after contact with a smoking environment, the goods can no longer be sold) and in their original undamaged packaging. In order to certify the date of return, the Customer is invited to return the goods by registered or tracked mail.

GUARANTEE
Woolinspires controls the quality of the products sent by its producers. However, Woolinspires cannot control the quality of the totality of its articles without the risk of damaging and altering the products themselves as well as their packaging. Consequently, Woolinspires cannot guarantee that the balls of wool and cotton and other items offered on its website are free of defects. In particular because of the manual manufacturing and the artisanal colouring of the wools and cottons, WoolInspires does not guarantee the perfect correspondence of the colours, dimensions and weight of the balls offered for sale.
The Customer benefits from the seller's legal guarantee and all other provisions provided for by the law of 21 April 2004 relating to conformity as well as the provisions of the Luxembourg civil code relating to the guarantee of critical flaws.
In order to benefit from the legal guarantee, the Customer is obliged to denounce to WoolInspires, by any means, the lack of conformity within 2 years from the reception of the goods.
