LIABILITY

Whilst we use best efforts to vet our Vendors and encourage them to meet our ethos and standards, we do not receive or have control over the products you order and, therefore, we are not responsible in any way for the listings on our Website and the products provided by Vendors. We do not provide any warranties or undertakings that the products you purchase from the Vendors through the Website will be of satisfactory quality, meet the description on the Website or are fit for purpose. We exclude these warranties, and all other such warranties (whether express or implied), to the fullest extent permitted by law. This does not affect your statutory rights against the Vendors under the contracts you may have with them directly.

PAYMENT METHODS

Purchases may be paid for using a debit or credit card through our online payment facility. All prices shall be shown in your selected currency and payable in Swiss francs. You accept that product prices in your selected currency do not vary according to your location; delivery charges will vary depending on the destination. Prices include VAT or other sales taxes where applicable.

PURCHASE & PAYMENT INFORMATION To place an order on the Website you must follow the on-screen instructions on the web page displaying the product you are interested in, select the relevant product options when prompted and add these to your basket. Once you have finished selecting the products you wish to purchase, you will be prompted to enter the delivery, billing and payment details. There is the option to save your data. Please see Privacy Policy for our retention of data terms.

Once you place an order you will receive an order acknowledgement email from us detailing the product(s) that you have requested to order. This is not an acceptance of your order, nor is this a confirmation of any contract between you and the Vendor.

We will then immediately notify the Vendor of the requested order and, as soon as the Vendor accepts the order, we will send you an acceptance e-mail confirming your order (the “Order Confirmation”). We will endeavor to send you an Order Confirmation within three working days of you placing your order. The contract between you and the Vendor is only concluded after issuance of the order confirmation.

The Order Confirmation will contain details of the products that have been ordered; the personal data that was provided by you for the order (such as your billing details and the name, address and contact details of the delivery recipient) and the estimated date of delivery which we endeavour to ensure conforms to the estimated date of delivery for the product(s) on the Website.

SHIPPING & DELIVERY INFORMATION

We are an intermediary – a market place offering a platform to purchase our Vendors’ goods, therefore shipping costs will vary depending on the amount of products, the size, weight and destination of your chosen item(s).

All shipping costs and delivery times are determined by the Vendors for their products and these are displayed clearly to you on the relevant product page of our Website before completing your purchase. Please note that you may have to pay several shipping costs when buying from different Vendors.

Please note that an international order might have to go through customs processing which may cause delays in delivery that are outside of our control. Whilst we will use reasonable endeavours to work with Vendors to ensure that delays are kept to a minimum, neither Ecolabo nor the Vendors will be responsible for delays caused by customs controls.

Additionally, customs may charge duty on products imported into your country. The Vendors are aware of this and will endeavour to pre-pay any customs charges on delivery. The purchase price for each product on our Website includes any local taxes and customs that the Vendors believe will be charged on import. Therefore, we hope there should be no further charges for you to pay to accept delivery of your order. However, please note that neither Ecolabo nor the Vendors will be responsible for any additional customs charges that your country may impose on the import of your products. This shall be the sole responsibility of the Customer.

We are not responsible for how the product(s) are packaged and presented on delivery, this is the responsibility of the Vendor.

REFUSAL OF TRANSACTION

We may refuse to process a transaction for any reason or refuse service to anyone at any time at our sole discretion. We will not be liable to you or any third party by reason of so refusing or by reason of unwinding or suspending any transaction after processing has begun.

If you order goods from our Website for delivery outside the EU, they may be subject to import duties and taxes which are levied when the delivery reaches the specified destination. You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please note that we have no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order. You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the goods or services are destined.
