Prices are valid at the time of placing the order and do not have a predetermined validity.

The moment the first e-mail is sent to the customer confirming his order, it is considered that a purchase contract has been concluded between the customer and the webshop provider. From this point on, the terms of purchase and price are fixed for both parties to the contract. The sales contract (i.e. the first electronic message on the status of the order) is stored in electronic form on the server of the COT online store and is available to the buyer upon request (e-mail to info@cupoftea.si).

 

3. Online purchase (data, purchase steps, discount code, method of payment and delivery time)

When making an online purchase, it is necessary to submit certain personal data in order to process the order and make the purchase. These data are: name, surname, postal address, e-mail address, company name (in the case of an order as a legal entity) and telephone.

The first step of the purchase is the selection of an individual product (dimension, color, quantity). By confirming the selection (clicking on the „Add to cart“ button), the product is added to the shopping cart, which is accessible via the icon in the upper right corner of the website. At this point, the customer can continue shopping or complete the purchase (move to the shopping cart).

In the shopping cart, the customer has the opportunity to review the details of the order and change it if necessary. If the customer has a discount coupon, he can enter it in the „Coupon Code“ field in this step. The customer can receive the discount code when signing up for the COT e-newsletter. Only one discount code can be redeemed for one purchase. When you enter the discount code in the active field on the website, the value of the discount code is automatically deducted from the price of your order. The amount that still needs to be paid remains.

This is followed by confirmation of the cost of postage and display of the total price (price of the selected product and the price of postage). The customer confirms the selection by clicking on the „Continue to checkout“ button, where he is redirected to the data submission form (buyer’s data and delivery data, if these differ from the buyer’s data). When the buyer fills in all the required fields (submission of the above-mentioned purchase data), the buyer decides on the method of payment.

The customer has two payment options: payment by bank transfer or payment using the Pay Pal service. In case the customer chooses to pay by a bank transfer, the purchase is completed by clicking on the „Buy Now“ button. The customer is redirected to the website where his order is displayed (order number, date of the order, e-mail address of the customer, total amount of the order and method of payment), instructions on making a bank transfer (data from CUP OF TEA d.o.o.) and delivery information (payer’s postal address, delivery postal address). The customer receives the order confirmation to the e-mail address he submitted in the data submission form. After funds are received (on the bank account of CUP OF TEA d.o.o.), the provider sends the product to which he attaches an invoice. The invoice records the price and all costs related to the purchase. The buyer is obliged to check the correctness of the data before placing the order. The invoice must be saved in case of a complaint.

If the customer chooses to pay via the Pay Pal service, he is redirected to the Pay Pal website by clicking on the „Continue to Pay Pal“ button. Here he confirms the purchase. The customer receives an order confirmation to the e-mail address he submitted in the data submission form. After funds are received (on the bank account of CUP OF TEA d.o.o.), the provider sends the product to which he attaches an invoice. The invoice records the price and all costs related to the purchase. The buyer is obliged to check the correctness of the data before placing the order. The invoice must be saved in case of a complaint.

Product delivery time may vary depending on whether the selected product is in stock or not. This is defined and described under the product features in the webshop. The provider’s products are handmade, so he asks for tolerance during the delivery time, and in addition, in the case of a larger order, he reserves the right to a longer delivery time.

The purchase procedure for legal entities is exactly the same as for physical persons, except that at the end of the purchase they need to provide the name of the company and the tax number of the company. The same payment options are available.

 

4. Right of withdrawal from the contract

The buyer has the right to withdraw from the contract within 14 days of receiving the product, which must be communicated to the provider at the email address info@cupoftea.si (the reason is not necessary). In case of withdrawal, the customer must return the product within 7 working days (by mail to the postal address CUP OF TEA d.o.o., Verstovškova ulica 4, 2000 Maribor, Slovenia). The cost borne by the buyer in the event of withdrawal from the contract is the direct cost of returning the product, which in the case of shipping is charged according to the price list of the delivery service and depends on whether it is a shipment / package. The buyer must return the product undamaged and unused, with the label (unless the product is destroyed or damaged – details in point 5). When returning the product, the customer also returns the invoice for the product and informs the company about his personal data and the bank account to which he wishes to receive the returned payment. The provider will make the return within 14 days of receiving all the necessary information, but only after receiving the returned product (or the buyer submits proof of the returned product – proof of delivery service). Upon withdrawal from the contract, where the promotional code was used, these funds are considered as a discount and are not returned to the customer. Only the amount paid is returned to the customer’s bank account, and at the same time the promotional code in the form of a new code is returned to the user. In the case of a gift voucher, the gift voucher is considered as a means of payment upon withdrawal from the contract and is returned to the user as a gift voucher.
