These terms of business (the "Terms & Conditions") apply to and govern all use of Deconet's web site (the "Site") and apply to all services that are provided through the Site, including but not limited to all sales of goods offered for sale on this Site (the "Item").
"Deconet" means Deconet AB, Reg. No. 556758-3843, having its principle place of business at Grev Turegatan 19, 114 38 Stockholm, Sweden, with email address contact@deconet.com.
If a user of this Site does not accept the Terms & Conditions, such user may not use this Site.
Any person who registers to buy an Item on the Site (the "Buyer") must accept these Terms & Conditions without any changes. By clicking on the "Confirm and Accept" button, the Buyer represents that he/she agrees to be bound by these Terms & Conditions and Deconet's Privacy Policy.
The Site provides a marketplace for Buyers to purchase Items online, from Sellers that Deconet have authorized as Sellers on Deconet. Any sales of Items are made between the Buyer and the Seller. The role of Deconet is limited to making the Site available, maintaining the Site, and facilitating the sales transaction. Deconet is thereby an intermediary and not an agent neither for the Buyer nor the Seller for any purpose.
The Site is designed for Buyers accustomed to buying Items based on photographs. Such Buyers are aware that Items are not new, unless otherwise stated, or in perfect condition, and may require touch-up or repairs prior to use, and that the available information about the Items may be limited. Due to the speed at which many Items sell, it is not possible for Deconet to verify any information provided by the Seller.
It is important that the information provided by the Buyer in the purchase process and on "My Deconet" is correct and it is the Buyer's own responsibility, to ensure that the basic Buyer information is correct and complete, including the e-mail address and other details. Buyers can always check this information on 'My Deconet', where any necessary corrections can be made.
By clicking on the "Place Order" button, the Buyer makes a purchase of the Seller's Item, which may not be canceled or revoked by the Buyer. Hereby, the Buyer accepts that Deconets Terms & Conditions shall govern the sale agreement between the Seller and the Buyer. The Buyer irrevocably agrees to pay the Total Purchase Price. The "Total Purchase Price" is the price agreed to on the Site and includes (i) the agreed price of the Item (the "Purchase Price") and (ii) sales tax, use tax, VAT, Internet sales tax and/or any other taxes or levies that the Seller or Deconet is required to collect from the Buyer under applicable law at the time of sale.
The Buyer irrevocably authorizes Deconet to (i) charge the Total Purchase Price on the Buyer's credit card by using the credit card information provided by the Buyer. A purchased Item is available for collection at the Seller's premises directly after confirmation from the Seller. The Buyer must collect the Item from the Seller no later then fifteen (15) days from the sale, after which the funds from the sale is released to the Seller. The Buyer must present a printed receipt for the purchase of the Item in order to collect the Item, and the Seller is entitled to hand over the Item to any person that presents such receipt.
If the credit card company for any reason rejects the Buyer's credit card payment, the sales contract will terminate with immediate effect and the Buyer may not collect or attempt to collect the Item. The Buyer waives any claim against Deconet and the Seller arising from a cancelled sale.
If for any reason the Buyer cancels a payment made by credit card or any other means of payment without first receiving approval from Deconet, Buyer shall be liable to pay the Total Purchase Price and any related costs including storage and handling fees if applicable. Additionally, Buyer shall be responsible for any costs associated with collecting any amount due to Deconet including legal fees and costs related to currency fluctuations.
Deconet accepts responsibility for the proper use of a Buyer's funds deposited and disbursed through the Site, but does not accept any responsibility for any circumstances relating to the Seller or the Items, including but not limited to any negligence, misconduct or other inappropriate or unbusinesslike behavior by a Seller in connection with any sales transaction entered into on or through the Site.
Once an Item has been collected from the Seller, either by the Buyer or on behalf of the Buyer, or upon the Buyer's failure to collect the Item within 15 days from the sale, Deconet has the right to release the funds to the Seller, and shall have no further responsibilities in relation to the sale of an Item.
The Item is delivered when the Buyer or any person on behalf of the Buyer, collect the Item from the Seller. The risk of loss of and damage to each Item will pass to the Buyer upon the collection of an Item by the Buyer or on any person on the Buyer's behalf.
The title to an Item is transferred to the Buyer upon the collection of the Item by the Buyer or on its behalf. The Seller has represented to Deconet that the Seller is the sole owner of each Item the Seller is offering for sale on the Site or that the Seller is duly authorized by the owner of the Item to sell the Item and that the Seller will transfer the title of the Item to the Buyer free from any claims by third parties upon collection of the Item.
Any complaints or claims that the Buyer may have regarding the purchase of an Item shall be addressed directly to and handled by the Seller.
Arrangement of collection, shipping, packaging and obtaining of insurance coverage of a sold Item is the sole responsibility of the Buyer and the Buyer shall bear all costs for this.
Deconet may offer to assist the Buyer with the shipping process, including facilitating information and payment between Buyer and shipper as well as managing and monitoring shipping status on behalf of the Buyer.
To assist Buyers in obtaining information on shipping costs, Deconet may request shipping quotes from several shipping companies and at its own discretion, post the best quote to various destinations. This information is posted for reference only.
Any recommendation of a shipper and other services related to the shipping process is provided by Deconet for the Buyer's convenience only. Deconet shall have no liability whatsoever for providing any assistance to the Buyer in respect of the shipping process and the Buyer shall not hold Deconet responsible for the shipping process.
The Buyer is entirely responsible for paying all taxes and duties and all transactional taxes or levies related to the purchase of each Item (collectively, "Taxes"). The Buyer shall pay the Seller such Taxes as the Seller is required to collect, but failure of the Seller to collect the Taxes will not relieve the Buyer of its obligation. It is the Buyer's responsibility to establish and/or document any applicable exemption from Taxes. The Buyer must determine, pay, collect, remit and report to the appropriate taxing authority the correct amount of all export and/or import taxes or duties payable upon export of the Item from its country of origin and import into any other country.
Some of the Items sold on the Deconet site may require cultural, customs and endangered species permits for export from the country where they are located and import into the Buyer's country. Items may also be subject to a right of the country, from which they are exported, to purchase the Items from the Buyer, sometimes called a "right of preemption". Neither the Seller nor Deconet makes any representation, gives any warranty or shall have any liability to the Buyer in respect of the requirement for, or the availability, or issuance of valid export or import permits or the existence or exercise of preemption rights to purchase by governmental or regulatory authorities anywhere.
All Items displayed on the Site are sold "as is". Neither the Seller nor Deconet makes any guarantee, warranty or representation, expressed or implied, to any Buyer with respect to any Item, including without limitation, its condition, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, designer or creator, exhibitions, literature, historical relevance or otherwise. No statement anywhere, whether oral or written, shall be deemed any such guarantee, warranty or representation. Neither the Seller nor Deconet makes any representation or warranty as to whether the Buyer acquires any reproduction rights or other intellectual property rights in any Item.
The Site is provided on an "as-is" and "as available" basis. Deconet makes no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, with respect to the Site, any Items offered for sale or sold on or through the Site or any Seller, including without limitation: (a) any representation or warranty that the Site meets the Buyer's requirements, will always be accessible, uninterrupted, timely, secure or operate without error; (b) any representation or warranty that the information provided at the Site is correct, complete or accurate; (c) any representation or warranty with respect to title to or delivery of any Item; (d) any representation or warranty with respect to intellectual property rights in any Item; (e) any representation or warranty that any Item conforms to the description of the Item or the colors, texture and detail shown on the Buyer's computer monitor; or (f) any representation or warranty regarding the character, reputation or business practices of the Seller.
The Buyer must direct all claims regarding an Item to the Seller and must resolve any dispute regarding any Item directly with the Seller.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Buyer releases Deconet from all claims, demands, liabilities, actions, losses and damages of any kind, including without limitation direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive and consequential damages (including without limitation lost profits, revenue and/or data), related to or arising out of or in connection with the Terms & Conditions, the Site, the inability to use the Site, any Item offered for sale or sold through the Site or any other goods or services purchased or obtained or transactions entered into through the Site.
The Buyer agrees to defend and indemnify Deconet against and hold Deconet harmless from all losses, damages, liabilities, costs (including without limitation attorneys' and paralegal' costs and fees) and claims arising out of or related to the use of the Site by the Buyer, the purchase of Items by the Buyer, the nature or quality of the Items, and any disputes between the Buyer and the Seller of the Items.
Deconet reserves the right to withdraw any Item from the Site and to amend any content on the Site at any time. Deconet may refuse service to anyone at any time in its sole discretion.
