With regard to digital gift cards, these will be delivered to you on the date you indicate when placing the order. If we are unable to meet the delivery date for whatsoever reason, we will notify you and propose either the continuance of the purchase with a new delivery date, or the cancellation of your order with full reimbursement of monies paid.

12. PRICE AND PAYMENT
The price of any product will be the price stated on our website at any given moment, except in the case of obvious errors.

If we discover an error in the price of any products that you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of either reconfirming the order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you, the order will be deemed cancelled and we will provide a full refund if you have already paid for the product. We are not under any obligation to deliver products at an incorrect (lower) price (even after sending our Shipment Confirmation) if the error in price is obvious, unmistakeable and could have been reasonably identified as such by you. The prices mentioned on our website include VAT; however, delivery costs are not included and will be added to the total due, in accordance with the stipulations in our delivery price guide. Prices may change at any time, but changes will not affect those orders for which we have already sent a Shipment Confirmation, subject to the provisions stating otherwise above. Upon selection of all items you wish to purchase, they will be added to your basket. The next step involves processing your order and making the payment. To this end, you must follow the different steps in the purchase process by indicating or confirming the information required in each step. During the purchase process, you will still have the option of changing the details of your order before paying. The purchase process is explained in detail in our shopping guide.

You can pay by means of Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Maestro, Bancontact, as well as through PayPal. You can also pay for your purchases, in whole or in part, by means of a Zerazi gift card or voucher, issued by ZERAZI BV. The details of your card will be encrypted to reduce the risk of unauthorised usage. Once your order has been placed, we will make a preauthorisation request on your card in order to ensure that you have sufficient funds to complete the transaction. The total will be debited to your card the moment the ordered products leave our warehouse. If you pay via PayPal or through a Zerazi gift card or voucher issued by ZERAZI BV, you will be debited the moment the Order Confirmation is issued. By clicking on "Order and Pay", you confirm that the bank card belongs to you or that you are the rightful owner of the gift card or voucher.

If we do not receive the necessary payment authorisation, we will not be held accountable for any delay or failure in the delivery of the products.

23. LIABILITY AND EXCLUSIONS
Unless expressly stated otherwise elsewhere in these Terms and Conditions, our liability for any product purchased through our website is strictly limited to the purchase price of said product. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these Terms and Conditions may exclude or limit our liability for: 1. death or personal injury caused by our negligence; 2. fraud or wilful misrepresentation; or 3. any matter for which it would be illegal or unlawful for us to exclude or limit, or attempt to exclude or limit, our liability. Notwithstanding the above-mentioned paragraph, we will not be liable, insofar as provided under law and there being no provision to the contrary in these Terms and Conditions, for the following losses, regardless of their origin: 1. loss of revenue or sales; 2. operating losses; 3. loss of profits or contracts; 4. loss of anticipated savings; 5. loss of data; and 6. loss of working or management time. Due to the open nature of this website and the potential for errors in the storage and transmission of digital information, we do not warrant the accuracy and security of information transmitted to or obtained from this website unless expressly stated otherwise. All documents, descriptions and information relating to the products appearing on this website are provided "as is", and not with any explicit or implicit warranty, unless so warranted under law. In this regard, where you are contracting as a customer, we will deliver the products in accordance with the contractual provisions and will be liable to you in the event of any lack of conformity noted at the time of the delivery. Products will be considered as compliant with the contractual provisions if the following conditions are fulfilled: (1) they conform to the description provided by us and possess the features stated on the website; (2) they are suitable for the purposes for which products of their type are generally designed; (3) they meet the quality and performance criteria which are normal for products of the same type and which can be reasonably expected. Insofar as provided by law, all warranties are excluded, except for those warranties to the benefit of consumers and users who cannot be legally deprived of such warranties (in particular, the legal warranty of conformity provided in Articles 1649bis to 1649octies of the Belgian Civil Code). The products that we sell, in particular hand-crafted products, often have characteristics of the natural materials that are used in their manufacture. Such characteristics may contain variations in their grain, textures, knots or colour; which cannot under any circumstances be considered defects or faults. On the contrary, you should expect and appreciate such inconsistencies. We only choose the highest quality products, but natural characteristics are inevitable and should be accepted as forming an intrinsic part thereof. Nothing in this clause will affect your statutory rights as a consumer or user, or your right to cancel the Contract.
24. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
You acknowledge and accept that all copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights over the information or content appearing on the website shall, at all times, remain vested in us or our licensors. You are permitted to use such information within the limits expressly authorised by us or our licensors. This clause does not prevent you from using the website to the extent necessary for copying orders or contact details.

You must not make illegal use of the website by intentionally introducing any virus, Trojan horse, worm, logic bomb or any other type of software or material that is malicious or technologically harmful. You must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, the server on which the site is hosted, or any server, computer or database connected to the website. You agree not to attack the website through a denial of service attack or a distributed denial of service attack. Any breach of this clause could be considered a criminal offence as defined by the legislation in force. We will report any such breach to the relevant authorities and assist them in identifying the perpetrator. Likewise, if you breach this clause, your right to use the website will immediately cease. We will not be held responsible for any loss or damage resulting from a denial of service attack, virus or any other technologically harmful software or material which could affect your computer, IT equipment, data or material as a consequence of using the website, downloading its content or accessing any other website to which you may be redirected.
26. LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES
Where our website contains links to other websites and third-party materials, such links are provided for information purposes only and the content of those websites and materials remain outside our control. We consequently cannot be held liable for any loss or damage resulting from their use.
27. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
The applicable laws require that we send you particular information or communications in writing. When you use this website, you agree that communication with us will be principally in electronic form. We will contact you via email - or provide you with information through notices on the website. For contractual reasons, you agree to these electronic communication methods and acknowledge that all contracts, instructions, information and other communications that we send to you by electronic means comply with any legal requirement that such communications be made in writing. This clause does not affect your statutory rights. We consequently cannot be held liable for any loss or damage resulting from their use.
28. NOTICES
All notices that you send to us must be made through our website contact form. Subject to and unless otherwise specified in clause 27, we may send notices to you at the email or postal address which you supplied when placing your order. Notices will be deemed received and properly served once posted on our website, 24 hours after the dispatch of an email, or three days after the date of posting of a letter. As evidence of the serving of a notice, it will be sufficient to prove, in the case of a letter, that such a letter was properly addressed, stamped and placed in the post; and in the case of an email, that it was sent to the email address supplied by the recipient.
29. TRANSFER OF RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The Contract between you and us is binding on both parties as well as our respective successors and assignees. You may not transfer, assign, charge or dispose, in any way, a Contract, or any of your rights or obligations arising under it, without our prior written consent. For the avoidance of doubt, no transfer, assignation, charge or disposal as referred to above will affect your statutory rights as a customer, nor will it revoke, reduce or limit, in any way, any implicit or express warranty provided to you by us. We may transfer, assign, charge, sub-contract or otherwise dispose of a Contract, or any of our rights or obligations arising under it, at any time during the performance of the Contract.
30. EVENTS OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL
We will not be held liable for any non-performance or delay in the fulfilment of our contractual obligations, which is caused by events outside our reasonable control ("Force Majeure"). A case of Force Majeure includes any act, event, non-performance, omission or accident beyond our reasonable control and, in particular, includes but is not limited to: 1. strikes, lockouts or other industrial actions. 2.

Acts, decrees, legislation, regulation or restriction of any government. 7. Strike, breakdown or accidents in maritime, postal or other transport. Our performance of the Contract will be suspended while the Force Majeure lasts and our deadlines for performance will be extended accordingly. We will endeavour, insofar as possible, to bring the Force Majeure to an end or find a solution that would allow us to fulfil our contractual obligations despite the Force Majeure.
31. WAIVER
If, at any time during the performance of the Contract, we fail to insist on the strict observance of any of your contractual obligations or those under these Terms and Conditions, or fail to exercise one of our rights or remedies available to us by virtue of the Contract or these Terms and Conditions, such failure will not constitute a waiver of the corresponding rights or remedies nor will it exempt you from complying with such obligations. Our waiver in relation to any breach does not constitute a waiver for any subsequent breach. A waiver by us in relation to any of your obligations arising under the Contract or these Terms and Conditions will not be effective unless we expressly acknowledge it as such and have notified you in writing in accordance with the clause on "Notices" above.
32. SEVERABILITY
If any provision of these Terms and Conditions or of a Contract is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a competent authority, said provision will be severed from the remaining provisions which will remain valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
33. ENTIRE TEXT OF THE CONTRACT
These Terms and Conditions and any document referring thereto form the entire agreement entered into by you and us in relation to the Contract and they take precedence over any previous agreement, understanding or arrangement, whether written or oral, between you and us. We each acknowledge that by entering into the Contract, neither Party is relying on a declaration, undertaking or promise given by the other Party or implicitly pertaining to any oral or written declaration made during earlier negotiations to this Contract in which we had participated beforehand, unless it is expressly stated in these Terms and Conditions. Each Party waives any remedy against false statements, whether oral or written, made by the other prior to the date of the Contract (unless such false statements were fraudulently made); the only remedy available should be the termination of the Contract as provided for in these Terms and Conditions.
34. OUR RIGHT TO AMEND THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
We are entitled to revise and amend these Terms and Conditions from time to time. You will be subject to the policies and Terms and Conditions in force at the time that you order products from us, unless any change to those policies, Terms and Conditions or Privacy Statement is required under law or by a governmental authority, in which case, any potential changes will also apply to orders previously placed by you.
