3 – GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

PRICES: The prices indicated next to each product are inclusive of applicable taxes (including VAT). Prices are shown in euros. THE HOLDER reserves the right at all times and unilaterally to modify the price and/or characteristics of the products offered through its website. In order to guarantee customer certainty and security regarding the price and/or characteristics of its products, these will be those in force at the time of placing the order. In the order confirmation information, prior to the buyer’s acceptance of the operation, the prices of each of the articles chosen and the promotions or discounts which, where these pertain, are applicable and clearly specified. The costs generated by the transport of the products to the address indicated by the CUSTOMER are included in the final price that appears in the order.

INFORMATION PRIOR TO THE PROCESS OF PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS BY THE CUSTOMER: the customer must select the products he/she wishes to purchase by clicking on the “Add to cart” button located above each product. These will be added to the shopping cart located on the top menu bar of the website. Once the products have been selected, to continue with the purchase process, THE CUSTOMER must click on the “Go to checkout” button that appears in the TOTAL of the order. In the next step, the order summary will appear, and the billing and shipping information will be requested. Next you must select the payment method: payment card or Paypal system. Once payment has been confirmed by either of the two methods described above, the purchase document will be sent to the CUSTOMER’s email address and will always be available on request to the OWNER of the website. In the introduction of the invoicing and shipping data, Tax Identification Number and Province-Country verifiers are used. This information is available in Spanish.

TECHNICAL MEANS TO CORRECT ERRORS: Should errors with the data provided during the purchase process be detected, these can be corrected by sending an email to covinas@covinas.es or by calling: +34 962 300 680, as well as exercising rectification rights as provided in our Privacy Policy.

This website displays confirmation windows at various stages of the purchase process that do not allow you to proceed with the order if the data in these sections have not been provided correctly. This website also provides details of all the items that you have added to your cart during the purchase process, so that, before making the payment, you can modify the details of your order.

If you detect an error in your order after the payment process has been completed, you should immediately contact our customer service department at the above telephone number or email address to correct the error.

INFORMATION SUBSEQUENT TO THE PROCESS OF PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS BY THE CUSTOMER: after completion of the purchase and validation of the payment made, THE CUSTOMER will receive an email with a summary of their purchase and order number. Similarly, the purchase document will always be available upon request to the OWNER of the website. The email with the order information will be sent when the HOLDER has received confirmation of payment (via Paypal or payment card). The second method is slower due to the way each bank operates.

PAYMENT METHODS: THE HOLDER uses two payment methods: Paypal or credit card. The CLIENT must choose which payment system he/she wishes to use before proceeding with the purchase:

Paypal system: an online system for making payments and transfers over the Internet without sharing financial information with the recipient. You can find more information about this service here. As in the previous case, THE HOLDER only receives confirmation that the purchase process has been successfully completed.

Payment card: COVIÑAS works with banks accredited for Internet payment methods, which have a secure and confidential system at the time the user proceeds to make the purchase of their products. At the time of payment, communication is exclusively between the USER and the bank, and COVIÑAS only receives confirmation from the bank that the purchase process has been completed satisfactorily.

DISPUTE OR REFUSAL OF PAYMENT: in case of refusal of payment by any of the methods of payment THE HOLDER shall proceed as follows: by bank transfer

4 – COMMERCIAL INTERACTIONS

The completion and sending of the order form is considered acceptance of the terms of this contract. The USER is henceforth considered a CUSTOMER.

The delivery of orders will be undertaken through a transport agency external to THE OWNER. Orders will be delivered to the address indicated by THE CUSTOMER, for which reason THE OWNER assumes no liability when delivery cannot be made as a result of the data provided being inaccurate or incomplete or when delivery cannot be made due to the absence of the addressee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, THE OWNER shall take the measures required of a diligent trader to ensure that delivery can be made as soon as possible, to the satisfaction of both the sender and the recipient. The delivery times indicated are approximate and may be subject to alterations due to special causes or circumstances (special dates such as Christmas, transport strikes, extraordinary events, etc.), which are in no case the responsibility of THE OWNER. THE OWNER undertakes to communicate to the transport agency all comments relating to the same that are made on the form, and cannot guarantee compliance with the conditions indicated therein, such as, for example, deliveries at specific and particular times.

THE OWNER cannot guarantee the delivery of orders in hospitals, public entities or other buildings where there are access restrictions for the general public, with the order being deemed to be fulfilled and liability waived, when the order has been made available to the recipient at the reception or place that serves as access supervision.

THE OWNER does not ship to the Canary Islands, Balearic Islands, Ceuta or Melilla.

The commitment undertaken by THE OWNER to sell and deliver the products offered is subject to the stock of the advertised product and the availability of the same until end of stock supply, as such THE OWNER, as part of its commitment to quality and customer service, strives at all times to ensure that the advertised products are available. However, in the event of exceptional circumstances such as a deceptive order, interactive multi-ordering or any other circumstances that cause the product to be out of stock, the order and the contract signed between the parties shall be terminated by virtue of this cancellation clause, and the amounts paid by the customer in the event of prepayment shall be fully refunded to the customer.

For any information or queries regarding their order, THE CUSTOMER may contact THE OWNER by any of the means indicated above in these terms of use.

THE CUSTOMER shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract within fourteen calendar days of receipt of same, having notified THE OWNER within that period so that the appropriate return channels can be established (return number, and form and address of delivery of the return shipment), with a refund of the price paid for the product, with the costs related to the order and transport costs not being repayable. THE OWNER undertakes to refund said amount within a maximum period of 14 calendar days, two weeks faster than the mandatory period stipulated by Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007.

The CUSTOMER will be exempted from the transport costs in the event that the return is due to one of the following reasons:

  • In the event that the package is received in poor condition. In this case, the CUSTOMER is required to refuse the package. If the CUSTOMER still accepts the shipment and one or more products inside are damaged due to transport, THE OWNER will send THE CUSTOMER a new product. THE OWNER shall bear all extra transport costs that may arise, provided that the product has not been used, altered or tampered with. For this purpose, THE CUSTOMER must contact the company within a maximum period of 3 days from receipt of the goods. After this period, THE OWNER reserves the right to accept the return for this reason. It is important that THE CUSTOMER verifies the state of his or her purchase at the time of receipt and that should any deterioration supposedly due to the transportation be observed, this should be indicated on the delivery note at the time of its signing.
  • If any of the products received do not correspond to the order placed, THE OWNER will resend the correct products or reimburse the corresponding amount. THE OWNER shall bear all extra transport costs that may arise, provided that the product has not been used, altered or tampered with. To this end, THE CUSTOMER must contact the company within a maximum period of 3 days from receipt of the goods. After this period, THE OWNER reserves the right to accept the return due to this cause.
  • In the event that the products received should not arrive in perfect condition due to a manufacturing defect, THE OWNER will send THE CLIENT a new product or refund the corresponding amount. THE OWNER shall bear all extra transport costs that may arise. To this end, THE CUSTOMER must contact the company within a maximum period of 3 days from receipt of the goods. After this period, THE OWNER reserves the right to accept the return due to this cause.

THE OWNER will not accept any exchange or return of products without prior authorisation. To this end, THE CLIENT must contact THE OWNER through COVIÑAS, where he/she will be informed of the steps to follow in order to successfully complete the exchange or return.

In the event that the order should be cancelled before it has been shipped, the order will be fully cancelled and the full amount of the order will be refunded without additional charges.
