Terms and Conditions

1) Scope

The online store of the company Makaro GmbH is operated under the domain name www.makarojewelry.com. For all business relations between Makaro GmbH and you, these General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply exclusively in the respective current version at the time of the conclusion of the contract. Makaro GmbH does not recognize deviating terms and conditions, unless these have been expressly agreed to in writing by one of the managing directors of Makaro GmbH. By placing an order, you agree to these terms and conditions, which become part of the individual sales contract. Changes of our general terms and conditions become effective with their publication on the website www.makarojewelry.com.

2) Conclusion of contract

If you place an order in our online store (this also includes the registration for the Makaro Club), this represents a binding contract offer to us. After placing your order, we will send you an email confirming the receipt of your order, which serves as an invoice for your purchase from Makaro GmbH. This order confirmation contains all details of your order (among other things ordered products, prices, delivery and payment conditions). With the receipt of your order confirmation, Makaro GmbH also accepts your order. Thus, the sales contract is closed.

However, we reserve the right to revoke the acceptance of the sales contract up to 24 hours after forwarding of the confirmation email. This may be the case, for example, if the ordered goods exceed a household quantity or are not available.

Please note that purchase contracts with persons younger than 14 years are not legally valid. Our offer is not designed and therefore not aimed at children; neither the nature and size of our jewelry nor the functions on our website (payment options, etc.) are suitable for use by children. For this reason, children are not addressed as customers in any way.

In accordance with the legal stipulations, when concluding a sales contract, the customer is liable for the correct transmission of pertinent data. In agreement with common business practice, Makaro Ltd. assumes that any data transmitted by you to us about other persons (for example for the delivery of gifts, etc.) are correct, and that the other person has been informed by you about the transmission of that data for the purpose of the contract fulfillment, at the latest at the first contact with the customer (e.g., delivery of the gift).

3) Right of Cancellation

3.1. Right of Cancellation for Austrian consumers

3.1.1. Right of Cancellation

You can cancel your purchase contract with Makaro GmbH within 14 days without giving reasons. The period begins after receipt of this instruction in text form but not before receipt of the goods by you. The day triggering the beginning of the period (i.e., conclusion of the contract or receipt by the customer) does not count.

Cancellation can be requested within the cancellation period in writing by sending an email to info@makarojewelry.com.

Further information about the return will be announced by email.

For exceptions to the right of withdrawal, see Section 3.3

3.1.2. Cancellation Consequences and Value Replacement

In the case of an effective cancellation, any mutually received benefits and any benefits derived are to be returned. (Exceptions see Section 3.3). If you cannot return the goods in full, in part or only in a deteriorated condition (e.g., with traces of use, in a damaged or dirty condition), you are liable to pay compensation for the value of the goods.

Damage or deterioration that arises exclusively because of a brief inspection of the goods does not constitute a reason for compensation.

Returns incurring because of an effective cancellation are free of charge from Austria. Under no circumstances does Makaro GmbH accept unfree parcels or parcels that require customs duties, import sales tax or other charges. The parcel must be prepaid by the customer and clearly marked with the note "Returned Goods." We therefore strongly recommend your using the original return label, which will be sent after cancellation. For refund claims of shipping costs for the return shipment, the corresponding copy of the postal invoice or the original must be sent by email or mail within 14 days after posting the shipment. The claim for reimbursement of shipping costs expires after the expiration of this period. The date on the postal invoice is applicable. Refund of costs for completely undamaged and unused goods will be made within 30 days. The period begins when we receive the goods. As long as we have not yet received the goods, we reserve our right of retention.

For exceptions to the right of cancellation, see Section 3.3.

3.2.2. Cancellation Consequences

Deterioration that is solely because of a brief inspection of the goods does not constitute grounds for compensation.

Makaro GmbH does not accept under any circumstances unfree parcels or parcels that require customs duties, import sales tax or other charges. The parcel must be prepaid by the customer and clearly marked with the inscription "Returned Goods."

3.3 Catalog of Exceptions to the Right of Cancellation

In the following cases, there is no right of cancellation:

- for items that are offered at reduced prices under the label "Sale"

- for goods that are specially made according to customer specifications and clearly tailored to personal needs (e.g., all products from our "Create Your Own" line, products with special lengths or custom-made products from existing components)

- for goods that are not suitable for return because of their nature.

- for items received as part of a Makaro Club membership.

The goods must be returned by the consumer properly packaged. The customer is liable for lost products because of insufficient packaging or inadequate sealing of the packaging. We always recommend registered or insured shipping, as the customer is liable in case of loss of the shipment by the transport service provider. If the customer is an entrepreneur according to §1 UGB, revocation is completely excluded.

4) Prices

On our homepage, all prices are shown in €, including sales tax for the respective country, if applicable. These prices are valid plus any shipping costs at the time of the order. Should export or import duties become due in the course of shipping, these are the responsibility of the customer.

No VAT is charged for deliveries to countries outside the EU (e.g., Switzerland or USA), i.e., the net amount appears on the invoice. Any import sales tax must be paid additionally by the recipient upon delivery.

In case of late payment, we reserve the right to charge reminder fees.
