4. Orders, payments and delivery

4.1 Services may be used by both Registered Users or guests (in which case the User Account is not mandatory). Whether or not Website accepts an order depends on the availability of Products, correctness of the information relating to the Product (including without limitation the price) and receipt of payment or payment authorisation by Company for the Products. Placing Products in a wish list or shopping basket without completing the purchase cycle does not constitute an order for such Products, and as such, Products may be removed from the shopping basket if stock is no longer available or the price thereof might change without notice to you. You cannot hold Company liable if such Products are not available or are not available at the particular price when you complete or attempt to complete the purchase cycle at a later stage. You acknowledge that stock of all Products on offer is limited and that pricing may change occasionally without any specific notice to you. In the case of Products for sale by Company, Company will take all reasonable efforts to monitor stock levels and ensure that when stock is no longer available, that offers thereof are discontinued on the Website. However, the Company cannot guarantee the availability of stock. When products are no longer available after you have placed an order, Company will notify you and you will be entitled to a refund of any amount already paid for such Products.

 

4.2 Company will indicate the acceptance of your order by delivering the Products to you or allowing you to collect them, and only at that point will an agreement between you and Company come into effect (the “Sale”). This is regardless of any communication from Company stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. Company will indicate the rejection of your order by cancelling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid.

 

Orders can be cancelled by writing to email address orders@whind.com as long as the action on this request arrives before the order has been picked up at the warehouse (before 3pm ET/3pm CET).

You acknowledge that transactions made through such third-party service providers are beyond Company’s reasonable control and that the same are made in accordance with and governed by terms and conditions of such third-party service providers. Therefore, Company is not responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of acts or omissions on the side of such third-party service providers.

You represent and warrant that you are fully authorised and that you have the legal right to use any credit or debit card(s) or other payment method(s) utilized in connection with purchase of the Products.
