Despite our efforts to provide the most up-to-date and accurate information, price information may be inaccurate. The company reserves the right to withdraw from the contract if a fundamental mistake is found in accordance with Article 46 of the Obligations Code (Official Gazette of the RS, no. 97/07 - official consolidated text, 64/16 - odl. US in 20/18 - OROZ631, hereinafter: Obligations Code).

The images and colors of the products available in the webshop try to be as representative as possible, but they may deviate from the actual appearance of the products due to the use of a browser and / or monitor.

When creating products, we use only fair trade and sustainable, ecological, and recycled fabrics. These fabrics are made in different batches and at different manufacturers, so they may have certain inconsistencies, minor flaws and one batch may differ from the next, which is also reflected in the differences in our products.

Acknowledging receipt of your order does NOT mean that your order has been accepted, but only that you have successfully placed the order, that we have received it, and that we need to review it. In the event of a change in price, product description or lack of stock, we will contact you to see if the proposed changes are acceptable to you.

You will be notified of the rejection of your order at your contact e-mail address.

Rejection of an order may be due to one of the following reasons:

• The ordered product is not in stock,
• We were unable to obtain authorization for your payment,
• An error was found in the product description,
• The existence of customs or delivery restrictions in your country,
• Do not meet the eligibility criteria (e.g. age) as stated in the Terms,

In the event of a rejection of the order, payment, if any, will be refunded as soon as possible, but no later than fourteen (14) days after receipt of the notice of rejection.

We strive to establish the most user-friendly experience possible. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that your orders will be received and / or accepted.

1. Payment methods

Customers can pay for the products ordered in our webshop with a credit card or PayPal. We accept payments with the following credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discovery, Diners Club, and GoCrypto.

The customer guarantees that he has all the necessary authorizations and the appropriate amount of available funds on the card to use the selected payment method. Card fraud is illegal and is being prosecuted accordingly.

By placing an order in the webshop, you allow the provider to make a charge on your credit card for the amount of the total price of the goods you have purchased.

The customer's credit card will only be charged to the transaction: (i) after verifying the credit card information; (ii) when the debit authorization has been received from the card issuer used by the customer, (iii) when the availability of the product has been confirmed, and (iv) when there are no circumstances requiring the rejection of the order.

When placing an order other than the provisional payment required to verify the validity of the credit card, the card will not be charged. Upon execution of the order, the temporary cost will be cancelled and replaced by the amount to be paid by the customer. This provisional payment will also be cancelled if the order is cancelled.

All credit card holders are subject to validation and authorization by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorize payment, we are not responsible for any delay or absence of delivery due to this. In the event that for any reason the card cannot be debited with the amount of the order, the purchase contract will not be concluded and the order will be cancelled (unconfirmed).

We offer the costumer the opportunity to cancel their order before it is ready. Once the order is ready, it can no longer be cancelled. After confirming the order, the customer must inform the provider  about their cancellation of the order on info@benedetti.life. If the order has not yet been prepared, we will cancel the order. We will then refund the customer using the same means of payment as the customer used for the initial transaction.

PayPal orders require administrative fees of approximately 10.00 EUR and are paid to PayPal Inc. by the customer and the provider cannot reimburse customer for this part of the cost.

If, after notifying the customer of the cancellation of the order, the order is already ready, our return policy will take effect.

13.2 Right to withdraw 

We hope you are satisfied with our products. Otherwise, as a consumer, you are entitled to withdraw from the contract within 14 days after the goods were accepted by you, without having to state the reason for withdrawal. The consumer may inform the company his decision to withdraw from the contract by giving unequivocal statement setting out his decision to withdraw from the contract (in writing or by e-mail: info@benedetti.life, possibly using the withdrawal form below). The consumer must return the goods within 14 days of notification, which must be undamaged, unwashed, in the original packaging and with the original label, without visible consequences of use and in the same quantity, unless the goods are destroyed, damaged or reduced in quantity, without consumer fault, to the address of the provider: BENEDETTI LIFE doo, Rožna dolina 2/19, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia. The consumer is liable for a reduction in the value of the goods if the reduction in value is due to the handling of the goods, which is not necessarily necessary to determine the nature, properties or functioning of the goods. In doing so, the consumer can compare the ordered goods in the same way as he would in a store.

The consumer shall not have the right to withdraw from the contract in accordance with paragraph 5 of Article 43.č in respect of the following contracts:

1. goods or services for which the price is dependent on fluctuations in the financial markets over which the company has no control and which may occur within the withdrawal period;
2. goods made to the consumer’s specifications and adapted to their personal needs;
3. the supply of goods which are perishable or expire rapidly;
4. the supply of services in cases where the company has fulfilled its contractual obligations and the performance of the service has begun with the consumer’s prior express consent and acknowledgment that they lose the right of withdrawal if the company fulfils the contractual obligations;
5. the supply of sealed audio or sealed video recordings or sealed computer software which were unsealed after delivery by the consumer;
6. the supply of a newspaper, periodicals or magazine with the exception of subscription contracts for the supply of such publications;
7. the supply of sealed goods which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons and were unsealed after delivery by the consumer;
8. the supply of goods which are by their nature inseparably mixed with other items;
9. the supply of alcoholic beverages, the price of which has been agreed upon at the time of the conclusion of the sales contract and the delivery of which can only take place after 30 days and the actual value of which is dependent on fluctuations in the market over which the company has no control;
10. contracts concluded at a public auction;
11. contracts where the consumer has specifically requested a visit to the home from the company for the purpose of carrying out urgent repairs or maintenance. If, on the occasion of such visit, the company provides additional services not specifically requested by the consumer or supplies the goods other than replacement parts necessarily used in carrying out the maintenance or in making the repairs, the right of withdrawal shall apply to those additional services or goods;
12. the provision of accommodation other than for residential purposes, transport of goods, car rental services, catering or services related to leisure activities if the company undertakes to fulfil its obligation on a specific date or within a specific period;
13. the supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium if the performance has begun with the consumer’s prior express consent and acknowledgment that they thereby lose the right of withdrawal.

The provider also explicitly points out that masks are a hygienic product and the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised. Likewise, the consumer who ordered goods made to the consumer’s specifications and adapted to their personal needs does not have the right of withdrawal.

Reimbursement of payments shall be made immediately, or no later than 14 days from the day on which we received the consumer’s decision to withdraw from the contract. Unless the company has offered to collect the goods itself, with regard to sales contracts the company may withhold the reimbursement until it has received the goods back, or until the consumer has supplied evidence of having sent back the goods.

The provider shall carry out the reimbursement using the same means of payment as the consumer used for the initial transaction, unless the consumer has expressly requested the use of other means and provided that the consumer does not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The consumer cannot claim reimbursement of additional costs incurred if he has explicitly opted for a type of shipment other than the most affordable standard shipment offered by the provider. In the event that the consumer exercises the right of withdrawal which does not belong to him, or the goods will be used in ways exceeding the above uses during the right of withdrawal, the right of withdrawal will be rejected, and the order will be returned at the consumer costs.

All shipping costs associated with the return of the goods are borne by the consumer. Returned products should be unused, undamaged and in the original packaging. The consumer must enclose a copy of the invoice with the return.

Return the products to the following address: BENEDETTI LIFE d.o.o., Rožna dolina 2/19, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia.

13.3 Damaged and defective products

Each product is inspected before shipment. Each shipped product must be flawless and must match the product description and its characteristics as stated in our webshop.

Together with the carrier, we will make sure that the damaged shipment is replaced as soon as possible.

13.4 Liability for material defects

The provider is responsible for material errors of the purchased goods in the webshop.

In accordance with ZVPot a defect shall be deemed material if:

• the item does not have the characteristics necessary for its regular use or placing in circulation,
• the item does not have the characteristics necessary for the special use for which the buyer bought it, and this was or should have been known to the seller,
• the item does not have the characteristics and features that were expressly or tacitly agreed upon or prescribed,
• the seller delivered an item that does not match the sample or model, unless the sample or model was only shown for information purposes.

The adequacy of goods for normal use shall be assessed in relation to usual goods of the same kind and by having regard to any declarations of the provider as to the characteristics of goods, provided by the provider, in particular, advertising, presentation of the product or indications on the goods.

Consumer may exercise their rights resulting from a material defect on the condition that they notify the provider of the defect within two months of the discovery of the defect.

In the notification of a defect the consumer shall precisely describe the defect and enable the provider to inspect the item. The consumer may notify the provider of the defect in person at the company’s headquarters or via e-mail info@benedetti.life, whereby the consumer may also submit video or pictorial materials. A consumer who has informed the provider of a defect in the prescribed manner, shall have the right to request that the provider:

• eliminate the defect in the goods, or
• reimburse part of the amount paid in proportion to the defect, or
• replace the defective goods with new flawless goods, or
• reimburse the entire payment.

Where the existence of a defect or a defective service is not contested, the provider shall comply with the consumer's claim as soon as possible, but not later than 8 (eight) days after receiving the request. Where the defect on goods or a service is contested, the provider shall send the consumer a written reply within 8 (eight) days of receipt of the request at the latest. The provider shall not be liable for material defects that appear more than two years after the product was delivered. When a defect appears within six months of the product being delivered, the defect shall be deemed to have existed at the time of delivery.

• Possibility of replacement

The provider allows free replacement of the product with a product of another size or color, if it is a product that is not made on the basis of a customer's pre-order, ie it is a product from stock. The possibility of exchange for another size or color depends on whether the product is in stock. The customer must take care of the organization and postage costs of returning the product, and we will cover the costs of delivery of the new product. The product you are returning must be unused. Please clearly state on the shipping form that the item is being returned for exchange, otherwise additional import duties may be incurred. We have no influence on import taxes and duties. Be careful when stating the country of your address, as we charge the cost of re-shipping a product that was incorrectly addressed.

Upon receipt of the replacement products, we will notify the customer by e-mail, and the replacement will be completed within seven (7) business days. The product will be delivered subject to its availability. Please note that exchanges at addresses outside the European Union may go through the customs procedure again and may be taxed again. To avoid double payment of duties, please keep all documents of import duties if you may need to prove that you have already settled these obligations. We have no influence on the additional costs related to customs duties and import duties.

13.6 Limitations

We reserve the right to refuse returns or exchanges that do not comply with the above conditions and required procedures. If your request for a refund or replacement is not approved, we will return the product to your address at your expense and refuse a refund.

13.7 Warnings about refunds 

Reimbursement of payment for an order settled through PayPal includes a deduction of administrative costs charged by PayPal Inc. in the amount of up to 10.00 EUR.

The financial refund on the card depends on the processing time of your bank and can take up to thirty (30) business days. The refund time can vary between individual card issuers, over which the provider has no influence.

We do not cooperate in refunds of import duties and taxes outside the EU. Contact your local office for such refunds. As this option is not available in all countries, we advise you to hire a customs broker for any refunds of duties on returned products.

1. Disclaimer

The provider does its best to ensure the up-to-dateness and correctness of the information published in the webshop. Nevertheless, the characteristics of the goods, the delivery time or the price may change so quickly that the provider fails to correct the data in the webshop. In such a case, the provider will notify the customer of the changes and allow him to withdraw from the contract or replace the ordered item.

The provider is not liable for delay or non-delivery of goods in case of force majeure in accordance with Article 153 of the Obligations Code.

Although the provider strives to provide accurate photographs of the goods, all photographs should be taken as symbolic. Photographs do not guarantee the properties and appearance of the goods.

1. Protection of personal data

The provider is obliged to protect all personal data of customers. The provider will use personal data exclusively for the purpose of fulfilling the order (sending information material, offers, invoices) and other necessary communication, as defined in a separate document Privacy Policy.

Under no circumstances will the customer's data be passed on to unauthorized persons. The customer is also responsible for the protection of personal data, especially to ensure the security of his username and password, which he obtains during registration.

1. Complaints and dispute resolution

The provider respects the applicable European consumer protection legislation and seeks to fulfil its duty to establish an effective complaint handling system and identify the person with whom, in the event of problems, the customer can connect by e-mail.

The complaint can be submitted via e-mail info@benedetti.life or by regular post on: BENEDETTI LIFE d.o.o., Rožna dolina 2/19, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia. The complaint processing procedure is confidential. The provider will confirm within five working days that he have received a complaint, and notify the customer how long it will take to handle it and keep the customer informed about the progress of the procedure. The provider is aware that the essential characteristic of the consumer dispute, at least as far as the judicial solution is concerned, is its disproportion between the economic value of the claim and the costs incurred in resolving the dispute itself. This is also the main obstacle, that the consumer does not initiate a dispute in front of a court. Because of that, the provider always strives to do its best to resolve any dispute by mutual consent.

In accordance with Article 32 of the Out-of-Court Settlement of Consumer Disputes Act (ZIsRPS), the provider does not acknowledge any contractor for out-of-court settlement of consumer disputes as a fee for resolving a consumer dispute.

The provider is engaged in online sales, so on its website publishes an electronic link to the platform for online resolution of consumer disputes (SRPS). The link to SRPS is available online at http://ec.europa.eu/odr.

That arises out of the Out-of-Court Settlement of Consumer Disputes Act (Official Gazette of the RS, No. 81/15), Regulation (EU) No 524/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2013 on online dispute resolution for consumer disputes and amending Regulation (EC) No 2006/2004 and Directive 2009/22/EC (Regulation on consumer ODR).

1. Final provisions 

This Terms are compiled in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Slovenia and are assessed in accordance with the law of the Republic of Slovenia. For all areas that are not explicitly defined in this Terms in the text, the valid legislation of the Republic of Slovenia applies.

This Terms apply to the provider and the customer from the day of their acceptance until their cancellation or change. The provider reserves the right to change the Terms and will publish new or changed Terms on the webshop.
