SECTION 2 – ORDERS AND PAYMENT

All orders are subject to acceptance and availability, and items in your shopping bag are not reserved and may be purchased by other customers.

SAMSAREE offers products for sale that are in stock and available for dispatch from our Showroom. Occasionally however, we may be waiting for shipments from our designer suppliers or have products listed in our Service that are out of stock. You may choose to register your email address for notification of arrival of the selected merchandise not held in stock. If you have registered your email address for notification of the arrival of a specific product featured on our Service, we will notify you by email as soon as possible.

In the event that an item you have ordered is unavailable, we will let you know as soon as we can and, where payment has already been made, make a refund to your payment method without undue delay. We do not assume the risk of having to procure ordered merchandise elsewhere (procurement risk). We are obliged only to make deliveries from our available stock and from the stock we have ordered from our suppliers. Where we make deliveries of goods from our available stock, the goods provided will be consistent with the order made by you. We will inform you about the expected delivery time on each product detail page as well as immediately before you place an order.

You authorize SAMSAREE to charge all sums for the orders that you make, including all applicable taxes, to the payment method specified in your account. If you pay any fees with a credit card, SAMSAREE may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase. If your order is placed on hold, we will reach out to you to ensure that the delays are minimal.

We reserve the right not to accept your order in the event that we are unable to obtain authorization for payment, that shipping restrictions apply to a certain item, that the item ordered is out of stock or does not satisfy our quality control standards and is withdrawn, or that you do not meet the eligibility criteria set out within the TOS.

We may also refuse to process and therefore accept 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 our withdrawing any merchandise from the Service whether or not that merchandise has been sold, removing, screening or editing any materials or content on the Service, refusing to process a transaction or unwinding or suspending any transaction after processing has begun.

We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made.

Products purchased by the buyer are for personal or gift use and should not be re-sold, used for commercial purposes or any other commercial benefit. You may not modify, copy, distribute, transmit, display, perform, reproduce, publish, license, commercially exploit, create derivative works from, transfer, data mine or sell any content, software, products, or services contained within the Service. You may not use the Service, or any of its content, to further any commercial purpose, including any advertising or advertising revenue generation activity on your own website. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, re-sellers or distributors.

SECTION 4 – PRICES AND SHIPPING

SAMSAREE reserves the right to determine pricing for Products. All prices on the Service are given in Euro (€), USD ($) or GBP (£). The prices given on the Service on the date the order is placed shall apply. The stated prices are final prices (totals) and include value added tax (VAT) at the applicable statutory rate in Portugal (23%). VAT may be deducted from the final price at Checkout if you have selected a shipping address where VAT is not chargeable. All items remain our property until full payment of the purchase price.

SAMSAREE will make reasonable efforts to keep pricing information published on the Service up to date. We encourage you to check our Service periodically for current pricing information. SAMSAREE may change the fees for any Product at any time. SAMSAREE, at its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different pricing to any of SAMSAREE’s customers. These promotional offers, unless made to you, will not apply to your offer or these TOS.

Whilst every effort is made to make sure details on our website are accurate, we may from time to time discover an error in the pricing of products. If we discover an error in the pricing of a product in your order, we will let you know as soon as possible. We shall be under no obligation to accept or fulfill an order for a product that was advertised at an incorrect price and reserve the right to cancel such an order that has been accepted or is in transit. If you order a product that is priced incorrectly for any reason, we will email or telephone you to inform you that we have not accepted your order and/or that the relevant part of your order has been cancelled. If you have already paid for the goods, we shall refund the full amount as soon as we are able. In the event that products are recalled in transit, we will process your refund once the products have been returned to us.

We will list shipping charges for your order upon checkout, and you must pay all shipping charges for the location of the address you provide. Please note that international packages may be subject to duties and taxes. You must also pay all tariff, import, customs, tax, and other charges applicable in your jurisdiction. The limits for duty-free packages are established by your local customs authorities. Please check your local customs website for more information.

SAMSAREE will attempt in good faith to deliver your items in accordance with your order, but SAMSAREE will not be responsible or liable for any delays or failure in such delivery. SAMSAREE expressly reserves the right to effect delivery of any order in any number of separate shipments, and the modes of transport and carriers will be decided at SAMSAREE’s discretion. Your order will be delivered to the delivery address you specify when placing your order. If your delivery address is geographically remote or otherwise difficult to deliver to, it is possible that we may not be able to deliver there. SAMSAREE will not be responsible or liable for any delay or failure to deliver due to any cause which is unavoidable or beyond SAMSAREE’s reasonable control. In such cases, SAMSAREE will have the right, at its option, without penalty or any liability for breach, to terminate all or any part of any order or to reschedule delivery within a reasonable time.


SECTION 5 – EXCHANGES AND RETURNS

If you are based in the EU under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (ICACRs), you have the right to cancel your order with us provided you give us written notice. You have the right to cancel your order within 14 days without giving any reason. The cancellation period will expire 14 days from the day on which you (or someone you nominate, other than a carrier) receive(s) the order. To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us by letter to "Notice of Contract Cancellation, SAMSAREE, RUA MANUEL INACIO 4B, 2770-223 PACO DE ARCOS, PORTUGAL", or by email to: info@samsaree.com. For orders cancelled under the ICACRs, we will issue you with a full refund including the shipping cost paid by you. We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you. We will make reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 30 days after the day we receive back from you any of the goods supplied. We will make reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.

In the event that we have sent goods to you and you have cancelled your order, we may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent the goods back, whichever is the earliest. If we do not receive the goods back, we may arrange to have them collected from you at your cost. You shall return cancelled orders to: SAMSAREE, RUA MANUEL INACIO 4B, 2770-223 PACO DE ARCOS, PORTUGAL, without undue delay and in any event not later than 30 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation of contract to us. The deadline is met if you send the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling, other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods. Please note you may only use your right to cancel the order under the ICACRs if you give us formal written notice of cancellation any time after your order has been placed, up until 14 calendar days from the day after you receive your order, by email or post as described above.

Without prejudice to your statutory right to cancel set out above, we offer you the option of returning items ordered on our Service within 30 (calendar) days of your order confirmation email. This return option allows you to return items to us, even after the 14-day cancellation period has expired. You can use the return shipping label enclosed with your order. Please contact our Customer Services if you have any problems with the return shipping label. Your exercise of this return option is limited to unworn items that you have worn/tried on only as you would have in a shop. All returned items must be returned in their original condition, intact and undamaged, and in its original packaging and containing all SAMSAREE and designer labels. Until the period for exercising the statutory right to cancel expires, the statutory provisions governing returns shall apply exclusively. The voluntary 30 days return right does not exist for contracts subject to sealed goods which have been unsealed after delivery and which are not suitable for return due to hygienic reasons. We do not offer exchanges for returned items. If you wish to purchase a new item, please place a new order.
