PRICES

The price of a product is the price displayed for the product in the online shop at the time of ordering. Expenses are shown in the shopping cart. In addition, the delivery price of the shopping cart to the selected country will be displayed at checkout.

If the products are shipped outside the EU (European Union), the buyer is responsible for any customs, import, or other charges. Customs clearance procedures vary from country to country. Please contact your local customs office for more information. If customs clearance is required, the buyer is responsible for all associated costs and understands that customs clearance may cause a delay to the original delivery time estimate.

Hiomakivi.fi reserves the right to cancel an order in case of "obvious price errors." A "manifest price error" means a possible pricing error of a product in the online shop, such that the price of the product differs significantly or significantly and obviously from the correct price of the product.

Examples of obvious price errors may include, but are not limited to, the following

- if the product has a price of EUR 0,00 or no price at all
- if a knife worth hundreds of euros is quoted at a price of e.g. €39.90 (comma errors)

In these cases, the incorrect price is so different from the correct price that the customer understands the error.

DELIVERY TIME

Hiomakivi.fi processes incoming orders within one working day as a rule. On weekdays, we aim to deliver all orders received by 15:00 on the same day. The customer also has the option to choose delivery by pick-up from hiomakivi.fi's pick-up warehouse in Espoo. In the case of pick-up orders, the customer will receive a confirmation to the e-mail address provided when the order is available for pick-up from the store. Pick-up orders are usually available for collection one working day after the order is placed.

Any exceptions to the delivery schedule are indicated separately on the hiomakivi.fi page.

GUARANTEE

We comply with the EU Consumer Sales of Goods Directive. The goods must conform with the contract and meet the general requirements. If a defect appears in the goods within one year of purchase, it is presumed to have been present at delivery time. This does not apply to defects attributed to negligent use or neglect of the product.

RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

For product returns, we operate by the general regulations that products have a standard 14-day return period, provided that the product is intact and in a condition as new. To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us of your decision to withdraw from the contract unambiguously (for example, by e-mail). To comply with the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient to send your notification of the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the expiry of the cancellation period.

Effects of withdrawal

If you cancel this contract, we will refund to you all payments we have received from you, including the delivery costs (except for the additional costs of choosing a delivery method other than the cheapest standard delivery method offered by us), without delay and in any event no later than 14 days after the date on which the products you have returned have reached us. In addition, we will make the return by the payment method you used in the original transaction unless you have expressly agreed otherwise.

You must return the goods without undue delay and no later than 14 days after the notice of withdrawal has been given. The deadline is deemed to have been met if you return the goods before the expiry of the 14 days.

The customer pays the postal charges for the return.

You are only liable for any depreciation in the value of the goods resulting from handling other than that necessary to ascertain the goods' nature, characteristics, and functionality.

UNCLAIMED PARCEL 

An unclaimed parcel is not the same as a return or cancellation. An unclaimed parcel for which no cancellation notice has been given will be charged EUR 14. This amount will be deducted from the refundable balance of the order. This amount corresponds to the actual cost of returning the unclaimed consignment and other handling costs.
