Terms & Conditions

Please read these terms and conditions carefully. They contain very important information about your rights and obligations, as well as warranty and liability limitations that may apply to you. By placing an order for Products, you ("Customer") accept and agree to these terms and conditions. A binding contract will only be formed upon Arvesa giving notice of its formal acceptance of an order. Acknowledgment of receipt of an order shall not constitute acceptance of an order.

1. General

3. Changes to Terms and Arvesa website

Arvesa may amend these Terms, including payment, guarantee and warranty terms, without notice. Also, Arvesa reserves the right to modify the terms of separate Product guarantees, at any time. Arvesa may provide notices of changes to Arvesa’s website, the Terms and other matters by displaying notices or hypertext links to notices or by simply making the changes on the relevant Arvesa website.

Frequent review of Arvesa’s website and these Terms is recommended. However, Contracts concluded on the basis of previous terms and conditions remain unaffected.

Although care is taken to ensure the accuracy of the information on Arvesa’s website, they could include inaccuracies or typographical errors, including pricing errors. Arvesa shall not be obliged to honor, nor be liable in respect of, such errors. Arvesa may make improvements and/or changes in Products, Prices and other details described in Arvesa’s website, at any time. Changes are periodically made to update Arvesa’s website.

4. Product information and availability changes

Arvesa continually updates and revises Products. Arvesa may update, revise and/or discontinue Products and/or any peripheral products at any time. Arvesa may revise prices for Products listed as available items on Arvesa’s website at any time. A price remains valid only for the duration of the day on which Customer visits the page of the Arvesa website displaying that price or the day on which Customer is informed of the price by Arvesa endeavors. Arvesa displays current Products at https://arvesa.org/online-store.

Arvesa endeavors to maintain Product availability. However, Product availability constantly changes and different Products and Product groups may have different availabilities. All orders are subject to availability of the relevant Product(s). Arvesa reserves the right to prioritize orders and to allocate limited stock between orders as it deems fit.

Any weights and measurements stated on Arvesa’s website are approximate.

5. Price

The price of Products shall be Arvesa’s currently applicable price at the date and time of acceptance of the Customer’s order. This may be specified on Arvesa’s website or at Product purchase “check-out”, but the definitive price shall be that which is notified to Customer by Arvesa on acceptance of the order by Arvesa. Any incorrect prices on Arvesa’s website shall be void and of no effect and in respect of any orders placed for incorrectly priced Products, the correct price as determined by Arvesa shall be notified to the Customer and, if the Customer wishes to continue with the order, substituted in place of the incorrect price.

Prices do not include shipping or handling costs, transport insurance, VAT (or other revenue tax), duty and other taxes, levies or charges of any authorities, unless otherwise specified, or otherwise required by applicable law. You agree to pay shipping and handling costs for Products, and any other charges described in the previous sentence (if applicable), as specified in the invoice issued by Arvesa after purchase of Products from Arvesa.

6. Manner of Payment

Arvesa accepts payment by approved credit card or debit card and PayPal. Arvesa does not accept other means of payment (e.g. check) without Arvesa’s prior agreement through its telephone call center or otherwise. Payment options may vary from country to country.

7. Terms of Payment

Customer must tender payment (via an accepted credit card or other payment means accepted by Arvesa) on or before the delivery of Products unless otherwise agreed with Arvesa. Invoicing and payment collection by Arvesa may be effected through third parties.

For credit card payments, Customer must provide his or her valid credit card number and other requested details either in the relevant purchase “check-out” section of the relevant Arvesa’s website when Customer orders Products. Arvesa will attempt to verify the validity of the credit card with the card’s issuer and may convey acceptance of the order (as set out below) to Customer if the credit card is accepted.

Arvesa will charge credit cards & debit cards on shipment, after a Contract has been concluded (i.e. after Arvesa has verified Product availability and accepted the Customer’s order and payment method).

8. Order Acknowledgment, Order Acceptance, Contract formation

All orders for Products placed by you with Arvesa are subject to acceptance by Arvesa. Arvesa may in its sole discretion accept or reject orders, or advise you of its inability to process orders.

Arvesa may send you an acknowledgement of receipt of an order, by e-mail or other medium (including telephone). Such an acknowledgement of receipt may be automatically generated and shall not constitute an acceptance of the order. Arvesa website through which orders can be placed may contain automatic means for identifying and alerting you to certain types of input error before you place your order. Such means may not identify all errors or omissions and you should ensure that the information you submit in your order is accurate and complete.

If an order placed online through the Arvesa website is accepted, Arvesa may advise of its acceptance of the order by e-mail or other written form.

Any Contract is dependent and conditional upon Arvesa’s verification of availability and acceptance of both your order and your credit card or other payment details. Unless and until Arvesa confirms acceptance of both of these items, Arvesa has no obligation to provide any Products. Where Customer has elected to make payment other than with a credit card (and Arvesa has accepted that payment option), Arvesa is entitled to consider an order or Contract cancelled with or without notice to Customer, if Arvesa does not receive that payment within 10 days of the date of the relevant order acknowledgement.

We maintain records of orders, order acknowledgements and Contracts (including these Terms and order acceptances) and retain these for a reasonable period following delivery. Whilst we may if necessary (and only on written request) be able to provide you with a copy of your Contract, these are not made generally available to Customers. We recommend that you retain a printed copy of these Terms with a copy and/or note of your order, order acknowledgment, order acceptance, payment method acceptance and invoice as evidence of purchase.

9. Account Information

You are solely responsible for 1) providing true, accurate, current and complete information about you as prompted in the Arvesa website account details section or as requested by Arvesa, and 2) maintaining and promptly updating Account Information to maintain its accuracy, currency and completeness. You are solely responsible for the security of any password provided to you for purposes of facilitating Product purchases or other matters via this. Arvesa shall not be liable for any unauthorized use of passwords.

10. Delivery

Products will be delivered to delivery addresses within the US only, except as otherwise exceptionally agreed with Arvesa will use its discretion in selecting a reputable carrier and appropriate means of delivery. Arvesa may deliver Products by installments in any sequence.

11. Delivery Date

Arvesa aims to deliver promptly. However, there may be reasons for Arvesa’s inability to ship according to its target dates (most of which are beyond Arvesa’s control). Accordingly, any dates given by Arvesa for the delivery of Products are estimates only, and Arvesa cannot and does not undertake that delivery will occur on any specified dates.

However, you have the option of cancelling your order at any stage prior to dispatch of your Products by Arvesa.

If Products cannot be delivered by any estimated or target dates given by Arvesa, Arvesa may elect to cancel the order and refund any money paid by the Customer. If an order is cancelled, Arvesa’s only obligation shall be to refund any money paid by the Customer to Arvesa.

12. Title

Arvesa retains full legal title to Products until it has received in full all amounts due on those Products and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) payment on any other Products that you have ordered. Arvesa reserves rights (subject to applicable law) to terminate Customer’s right to use, sell or otherwise deal in Products, and to enter the premises of Customer and repossess Products (or to instruct a third party to do so), if payment is not made when due, or if the credit card company declines payment or requires Arvesa to return any payment made for the Products, for any reason.

13. Your Acceptance of Products

You have the responsibility for examining the Products on delivery and verifying their condition, and that the content of the Product package is complete. Products will be considered to have been accepted by you on delivery, as in good condition, and with all accessories, components and other products and content to be contained in or packaged with the Product, and as otherwise in accordance with the Contract, unless you have on delivery or promptly thereafter inspected the Products and notified Arvesa of any deficiencies or defects.

14. Your Right to Return and Returns Policy

Arvesa does not accept refunds for products purchased through the Arvesa website. If products are damaged due to shipping, all customers are encouraged to contact UPS/USPS to file a claim. All other disputes are dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

15. Resale of Product

Customer shall not resell Products. Arvesa may (among other reasons) reject orders placed by Customer if Customer breaches this term (with regard to any Products) or if Arvesa reasonably suspects that Customer has breached or will breach this term.

16. Liability limitation

These Terms set out the full extent of Arvesa’s obligations and liabilities in respect of the supply of, or failure to supply, Products. Arvesa is not liable to you (or any other parties):

for any indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, or for loss of income, profits, bargain, revenue, contracts, goodwill, use, enjoyment, time, data, electronically transmitted orders or other economic advantage (even if Arvesa has been advised of the possibility of such damages), however caused, through serious fault, Product unavailability or otherwise and regardless of the theory of liability, whether in contract, tort or otherwise (but not to the extent that applicable law prohibits liability exclusions or limitations for intentional torts or gross negligence, or other fault bases),

This clause and the limitations of liability apply also to Arvesa named as the guarantor or warrantor (if any), in the relevant Guarantee. If applicable law prevents, restricts or limits Arvesa’s ability to limit or exclude its liability or its liability in respect of certain kinds of loss, the limitations and exclusions in these Terms shall apply to exclude or limit Arvesa’s liability to the maximum extent permissible.

The parties agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, the arbitrator shall apply the substantive laws of the Federal Judicial Circuit in which Arvesa’s principle place of business is located, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Within ten (10) calendar days after the arbitration demand is served upon a party, the parties must jointly select an arbitrator with at least five years’ experience in that capacity and who has knowledge of and experience with the subject matter of the dispute. If the parties do not agree on an arbitrator within ten (10) calendar days, a party may petition the AAA to appoint an arbitrator, who must satisfy the same experience requirement. In the event of a dispute, the arbitrator shall decide the enforceability and interpretation of this arbitration agreement in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). The parties also agree that the AAA’s rules governing Emergency Measures of Protection shall apply in lieu of seeking emergency injunctive relief from a court. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding, and no party shall have rights of appeal except for those provided in section 10 of the FAA. Each party shall bear its share of the fees paid for the arbitrator and the administration of the arbitration; however, the arbitrator shall have the power to order one party to pay all or any portion of such fees as part of a well-reasoned decision. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have the authority to award attorneys’ fees only to the extent expressly authorized by statute or contract. The arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive damages and each party hereby waives any right to seek or recover punitive damages with respect to any dispute resolved by arbitration. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY VIA ARBITRATION AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. Further, unless both parties agree otherwise in a signed writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties, unless to protect or pursue a legal right. If any term or provision of this Section is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Section or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. If for any reason a dispute proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial. This arbitration provision shall survive any cancellation or termination of your agreement to participate in any of our Programs.
Miscellaneous: You warrant and represent to Us that you have all necessary rights, power, and authority to agree to these Terms and perform your obligations hereunder, and nothing contained in this Agreement or in the performance of such obligations will place you in breach of any other contract or obligation. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. Any new features, changes, updates or improvements of the Program shall be subject to this Agreement unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing. We reserve the right to change this Agreement from time to time. Any updates to this Agreement shall be communicated to you. You acknowledge your responsibility to review this Agreement from time to time and to be aware of any such changes.
