We only sell to customers acting in their capacity as private individuals (consumers). In order to make a purchase, you need to have the right to enter a contract under the applicable law. This means that you need to be at least 16 years old to buy with direct payment or at least 18 years old to buy on credit.

  1. Order and delivery confirmation

3.1
Once you have completed your purchase, you will receive an automatic acknowledgement email (“Thank you for your order”), confirming that we have received your order. This acknowledgement does not imply that a binding contract has been concluded.

3.2
Before you receive the final confirmation, your order may be refused on grounds of stock discrepancies, if you have provided incorrect information to us at the checkout or if we suspect attempted fraud. In such cases, we will notify you as soon as we can.

3.3
A binding contract is only concluded when the order is packed and we send a final order confirmation “We have finished processing your order ” to the email address you submitted when you placed the order.

  1. Prices and information

4.1
When ordering, the prices listed on the Website at the time of the order apply. All prices include applicable VAT but do not include any payment and freight charges, which are stated separately.

4.3
Images on the Website showing the product are for illustration only and the actual product may differ slightly for instance due to different production batches or due to the human factor. Also, we cannot guarantee that all images on the Website will reflect the exact appearance for example due to colour rendering by the computer/ phone screen.

6.4
These terms and conditions of purchase apply to delivery within EU.

We will always aim to deliver your order within the estimated delivery time, but we cannot guarantee this.

  1. Right to cancel and return

7.1
You have the right to cancel your purchase within 14 days from the day that you, or a person on your behalf, receive the product that you have purchased on the Website. The right to return only applies to unused products in new condition, in their original packaging and with all labels still attached.

7.2
When exercising your statutory right to cancel, you have the right to open the packaging and examine the product to the extent necessary to assess its nature, characteristics and functioning. You have the right to cancel your purchase for a full refund if you register your return or contact us within 14 days from the day you received the product and return the product in original condition. Shipping cost is not refundable.

7.3
If you handle the product to a greater extent than is necessary to determine its character, properties and function, we are entitled to make a depreciation. Such deduction is made by comparing the value of the product on return with the original value at the time of purchase. To obtain a full refund, we therefore recommend that you return the product in its original condition.

7.4
If you wish to cancel your purchase, you must notify us by email (orders@zipcov.com) within 14 days of the day on which you, or a person acting on your behalf, receives or collects your order.

7.5
After you have notified us that you want to return your purchase, you need to send or return the product within 14 days from the day you, or a person on your behalf, receives or collects your order. We recommend that you return the product in the same packaging in which you received it as you will be responsible for any damage or loss during the return shipping if the damage or loss was caused by your negligence, for example in packaging the product.

7.6
Our return address is ZipCov AB, Salamandervaegen 45, 442 46 Kungaelv, Sweden.

7.7
In case you want to return your item(s), any associated cost must be covered by you, including shipping cost.

7.8
Once you have returned your purchase, we will, through our payment service provider, make your refund within 14 days. However, we will not make the refund until we have received the product back. Remember that you are responsible for any damage or loss during return shipping that is caused by your negligence.

7.9
The refund will be made with the same payment method as you chose at the time of purchase, unless we agree otherwise.

  1. Warranty claims

8.1
If your product is defective, you have the right to claim this in accordance with the mandatory consumer protection legislation in force in the country where you reside. You have the right to complain about any original defect in the product that occurs within two years of delivery of the product (the liability period). You always need to make a complaint within a reasonable time after you should have noticed the defect. Your right to complain ends after the two-year liability period has passed.

8.2
If you wish to claim a product, please contact our customer service on contact@zipcov.com.

8.3
Once the claimed product has been evaluated and we have determined that the claim is valid, we will reimburse you in accordance with applicable law. This means that the fault will be rectified, or we will replace the faulty product with a new one. If neither of these options is possible, you will instead be entitled to claim a price reduction corresponding to the defect or to cancel the purchase in accordance with the applicable law.

8.4
Please note that we have the right to refuse a complaint if it turns out that the product is not defective according to applicable law.

8.5
In the event that we need the product in return, our return address is: ZipCov AB, Salamandervaegen 45, 442 46 Kungaelv, Sweden.

8.6
If you have sent back a defective product without contacting us first, this will be handled as a standard return and will be subject to our standard returns’ procedure. Therefore please contact us as per point 8.2.

8.7

  1. Offers / Promotional Campaigns

9.1
We may from time to time offer promotions, discount codes, gifts and other offers (collectively referred to as “Offers” below). Such offers are valid only for the period of time and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in connection with such offer. The promotion time period cannot be extended and in case of the stock being sold out during the promotion time period, we will not offer similar replacement products instead of the promotion products. Offers may not be combined with any other discounts or offers – unless expressly stated at the time of your purchase.

9.2
In many cases, you may be actively required to enter any code or otherwise activate the relevant offer yourself before completing your purchase in order to take advantage of the offer.

9.3
If you return part of an order that includes a promotional product, or if that part of the order was a necessary condition for a specified discount, you may no longer qualify for the campaign/promotion product or discount. We will therefore deduct the value of the campaign product or promotional discount when calculating the refund. This may result in you having to pay for any campaign product that was included in the promotion (if you choose not to return it) or to “repay” a discount.

  1. Fair Practice Policy

10.1
In order to shop with us, this is required:

  • you do not attempt to defraud or otherwise act with intent to violate any applicable laws;
  • you do not attempt to mislead us as to your identity or falsely represent yourself as a consumer in order to shop with us;
  • you do not exert undue pressure or intimidate our staff when dealing with our customer service team;
  • you have an intention to keep the products you order. This does not prevent you from subsequently changing your mind. You are always entitled to your statutory right to cancel and right to return under our Terms and Conditions of Purchase.

10.2
Behaviours that are considered to be in breach of this Fair Practice Policy include but are not limited to:

    • fraudulent attempts in connection with returns, such as the replacement/falsification of labels and price tags and false claims of lost products,
    • falsely claiming to be a consumer in order to shop with us but then, for example, marketing or reselling the products in the course of a business,
    • buying products to photograph them in the course of a business and then falsely returning the products, citing a right to cancel or right to return that applies only to consumers,
    • attempting to unduly influence or threaten our staff to obtain an extended right of return compared to our terms of sale or mandatory law; and
    • highly abnormal purchase and return behaviour which shows that the customer had no previous intention of keeping the products ordered.

10.3
Our assessment of whether you are in breach of our Fair Practice Policy is based on a number of different factors such as systematic deviant behaviour, order composition, order frequency, return frequency, and attempted circumvention with false identity.

10.4
If your order is refused, you will be informed by an email sent to the email address you provided when placing your order. Once we have notified you that we have refused your order, the decision will apply to you regardless of your profile or email address. It is not permitted to attempt to circumvent this decision in any way, for example by trading under someone else’s name, as such misleading is in itself a breach of the Fair Practice Policy.

10.5
Our Fair Practice Policy does not prevent you from exercising your statutory right to cancel or right to return once you have made a binding purchase from us. However, our Fair Practice Policy may, in specific cases, prevent you from entering into a new contract with us.

  1. Our obligations

11.1
If there is any defect in your product or if delivery is delayed, we will be liable for any damages you suffer as a result of the defect or delay, in accordance with mandatory consumer protection legislation. However, we will only be liable for damages to the extent that you have taken reasonable steps to limit your loss. We are therefore not liable for damage that you could have avoided by taking reasonable measures.

11.2
We are not liable for damage caused by unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, such as war, strikes, pandemics or natural disasters, which we could not reasonably have foreseen (Force Majeure). If we are prevented from fulfilling our obligations under the contract or these Terms and Conditions of Purchase due to Force Majeure, you have the right to withdraw from the contract in accordance with mandatory consumer law.

  1. About these Terms & Conditions

12.1
We may change these Terms & Conditions, but the Terms that you agreed to at the time of your purchase will always apply to that purchase. Any changes will be reflected in the latest published version of the Terms of Purchase on the Website. Changes will take effect from the time you have accepted the Terms & Conditions, i.e. when you make a new purchase on the Website.

12.2
It is important for us to respect your rights as a consumer. As we are a company based in Sweden, these Terms of Purchase shall be interpreted and applied in accordance with Swedish law. If any provision of these Terms of Purchase is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court, authority or alternative dispute resolution body of competent jurisdiction, the remaining parts of that provision and all other provisions of these Terms & Conditions will remain valid and enforceable in full, subject to applicable law. You are always entitled to the mandatory consumer rights of the country in which you are ordinarily resident. Nothing in these Terms & Conditions shall be construed as limiting such rights.

  1. Questions, complaints and disputes

13.1
You are welcome to contact us if you have any questions or complaints about your order. You can easily reach us using the contact details set out at the beginning of these Terms & Conditions.

13.2
In the event of a dispute with private individuals, we will comply with the decisions of alternative dispute resolution bodies in EU.

13.3
Notwithstanding the above, any disputes may also be settled before any competent court in the country where you as a customer are domiciled.
