4. WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PURCHASE CONTRACT

4.1 The Buyer acknowledges that according to the provisions of Section 1837 (d) of the Civil Code, the Buyer cannot withdraw from the Purchase Contract if the delivered goods have been modified by the Seller according to the Buyer’s wishes or for the Buyer’s person.

4.2 Unless it is a case referred to in Article 4.1 or another case where the Buyer cannot withdraw from the Purchase Contract, the Buyer has the right to withdraw from the Purchase Contract within 14 (fourteen) days from the date of receipt of the goods without giving any reason, in accordance with the provisions of Section 1829 (1) of the Civil Code, where the subject of the Purchase Contract is the delivery of several types of goods or if the goods are delivered in several partial deliveries, this period shall run from the date of receipt of the last delivery of goods. In order to comply with the withdrawal period, the withdrawal must be sent to the seller within the period specified in the preceding sentence. For the purpose of exercising the right to withdraw from the Purchase Contract, the Buyer is obliged to inform VEROC Brands Group a.s. of its withdrawal from the Purchase Contract by way of unilateral legal action by e-mail to info@exalted.com. The Buyer may use the enclosed sample withdrawal form, which forms Annex 1 to these Terms and Conditions, but is not obliged to do so. The Buyer is always obliged to provide the order number.

4.3 In the event of withdrawal from the Purchase Contract pursuant to Article 4.2 of the Terms and Conditions, the Purchase Contract shall be cancelled from the outset. In such a case, the Buyer is obliged to return everything that he/she has received from the Seller in the course of the execution of the Purchase Contract, including the goods in perfect condition with all tags and original packaging without undue delay, but no later than within fourteen (14) days from the moment of withdrawal from the Purchase Contract, with the time limit shall be deemed to have been complied with if the buyer sends the goods to the seller before the expiry of 14 days. If the buyer withdraws from the purchase contract, the buyer bears all costs associated with the return of the goods to the seller, even if the goods are not returned by the usual postal route. The buyer is obliged to pack the goods properly for the purpose of return so that they are not damaged during transport back to the seller.

4.4 However, the provision on the possibility of withdrawal from the purchase contract according to Article 4.2 of the Terms and Conditions cannot be understood as the possibility of free loan of goods. In the event of exercising the right of withdrawal from the purchase contract, the buyer must return to the seller everything he has received under the purchase contract, including the return of undamaged and unused goods in their original condition e.g. (no makeup, dirt, cosmetics, etc.) If this is no longer possible (e.g. the goods have been destroyed, used or damaged in the meantime), the buyer is obliged to provide the seller with monetary compensation in return for what can no longer be delivered or returned as new, unused and undamaged goods. The buyer is also liable for damage to the goods resulting from handling them in a manner other than that which is necessary in view of their nature and characteristics.

4.5 In the event of withdrawal from the Contract by the Buyer pursuant to Article 4.2 of the Terms and Conditions, the Seller shall refund all payments received from the Buyer, including delivery costs, except for additional costs incurred as a result of the Buyer’s chosen method of delivery other than the cheapest method of standard delivery offered by the Seller, within fourteen (14) days of the return of the goods by the Buyer or upon proof that the Buyer has returned the goods, whichever is earlier. Seller shall use the same means of payment used by Buyer to make the initial transaction (payment of the purchase price) for refunds, unless Buyer specifically specifies otherwise. If the Buyer provides his/her bank account in the notice of withdrawal, the Seller shall refund the funds to the bank account specified by the Buyer in the notice of withdrawal.

4.6 The Seller is entitled to unilaterally set off against the Buyer’s claim for reimbursement of the purchase price a claim for compensation for damage to the goods or any other claim against the Buyer, unless set-off is excluded by law.

4.7 Until the Buyer takes delivery of the goods, the Seller is entitled to withdraw from the Purchase Agreement at any time for serious operational reasons (e.g. sudden lack of capacity of the ordered goods, etc.). In this case, the Seller shall inform the Buyer by email and refund the purchase price without undue delay, without cash to the account designated by the Buyer.

4.8 If a gift is provided to the Buyer together with the goods, the gift contract between the Seller and the Buyer is concluded with the condition that if the Buyer withdraws from the purchase contract pursuant to Article 4.2 of the Terms and Conditions, the gift contract regarding such gift shall cease to be effective and the Buyer shall be obliged to return the gift in its original condition together with the goods to the Seller.

4.9. The buyer is entitled to claim a defect and exercise the right from the defect that occurs in the sold goods within 24 months from the date of receipt of the goods by the buyer.

4.10 The products in the “Save product” category are not covered by the liability for defects that were communicated to the buyer at the time of the purchase agreement. The buyer acknowledges that these products may have certain defects or deficiencies that were disclosed in advance and taken into account in the product price. Due to this fact, claims cannot be made for these specific defects, and this exception does not affect the buyer’s rights regarding liability for other possible defects that were not mentioned at the time of sale.

5. TRANSPORT AND DELIVERY OF GOODS

5.1 In the event that the method of transport is agreed on the basis of a special request of the Buyer, the Buyer bears the risk for any additional costs associated with this method of transport.

5.2 If the Seller is obliged under the Purchase Contract to deliver the goods to the place specified by the Buyer in the Purchase Order, the Buyer is obliged to take delivery of the goods upon delivery.

5.3 In the event that for reasons on the Buyer’s side it is necessary to deliver the goods repeatedly or in a different manner than specified in the order, the Buyer is obliged to pay the costs associated with the repeated delivery of the goods or the costs associated with a different method of delivery.

5.4 Upon receipt of the goods from the carrier, the Buyer shall check the integrity of the packaging of the goods and in the event of any defects, notify the carrier and the Seller immediately. In the event that the packaging is found to have been breached, indicating that the shipment has been tampered with, the Buyer may not accept the shipment from the carrier.

5.5. If necessary, we reserve the right to remove (exclude) the option of free shipping.

5.6 Customs Duties and Import Taxes (International Orders)

For orders shipped outside the European Union (e.g. to the United Kingdom, United States, Switzerland, or other non-EU countries), customers may be required to pay customs duties, VAT/GST or import fees in accordance with the local laws of the destination country. These charges are not included in the final price at checkout and are the sole responsibility of the Buyer.

• For example, in the United Kingdom, orders above £135 may be subject to import duties.
• In the United States, shipments below $800 USD are usually exempt from duties under the de minimis rule.
• The Seller shall not be held responsible for any additional charges or delays caused by customs processes.
