3. SERVICE AVAILABILITY

4. ORDER CONFIRMATION
The User must place his order through the Internet on our website www.homebyauk.com, accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week except in an impeding case.
The data communicated by the User and registered during the registration and order constitute proof of the transactions carried out between HOMEBYAUK and the User.
After validation of the order by the User, HOMEBYAUK confirms to notify him that the order has been placed correctly. Orders will only be binding on Homebyauk once they have been accepted by Homebyauk. This acceptance will be announced through the conformation communicated to the client.
The User has the obligation to check the confirmation of the order and notify HOMEBYAUK immediately, any error that it suffers. HOMEBYAUK is not responsible for the information provided in the order form and therefore will not be responsible for the impossibility of delivering products when the order suffers from an error in the data provided, in this sense the User expressly exonerates HOMEBYAUK for the responsibility that derives from this end knowing that it is not their responsibility but that of the User himself.
5. PRODUCT AVAILABILITY
All orders for products are subject to the availability of the same and, in this sense, if there are difficulties in terms of their supply, or if there are no items left in stock, we reserve the right to provide you with information about substitute products of equal or higher quality and value that you may order. If you do not wish to place an order for these substitute products, we will refund any amount you may have paid.
6. REFUSAL TO PROCESS AN ORDER
We reserve the right to remove any Product from this website at any time and/or to remove or modify any material or content thereof. Although we will do our best to always process all orders, there may be exceptional circumstances that force us to refuse the processing of an order after having sent the Order Confirmation, and we reserve the right to do so at any time, in our sole discretion.
We will not be liable to you or any third party for removing any product from this website, regardless of whether such product has been sold or not, removing or modifying any material or content from the website, or for refusing to process an order once we have sent you the Order Confirmation.
7. RIGHT TO WITHDRAW FROM PURCHASE
If you are contracting as a consumer, you may withdraw from the Contract at any time within 7 days from the date of receipt of the products and without the need to allege any cause. However, HOMEBYAUK will not accept returns whose written notification by the User occurs after 14 calendar days from the date of receipt of the product.
In the event of acceptance by HOMEBYAUK of the return of the item (for complying with all the requirements of validity), the User will bear the direct costs of said return, not being subject to refund the shipping costs generated by the initial order or by return.
HOMEBYAUK will not accept returns if the product is not presented in perfect condition.
HOMEBYAUK will not accept returns if the product packaging is not the original or is not in perfect condition. The original packaging must be protected so that it is received in perfect condition, being prohibited the use of seals or adhesive tapes applied directly on the product.
All returns must be authorized by HOMEBYAUK. To obtain such authorization, the User must request the return of the item to HOMEBYAUK by means of an email (addressed to [email protected]) indicating the reason for the return and the order number.
Once the User has received the return authorization, HOMEBYAUK will collect the products at the postal address indicated by the User. The costs of transport, including both those derived from delivery and return, will be borne by the User.
Your right to withdraw from the Contract shall apply exclusively to those products that are returned in the same conditions in which You received them. It must also include all instructions, documents and packaging of the products. No refund will be made if the product has been assembled, used or if it has suffered any damage, so you must be careful with the product(s) while they are in your possession.
You will not have the right to withdraw from the Contract whose object is the supply of any personalized product.
Please treat the products with reasonable care while they are in your possession and keep, if possible, the original boxes and wrappers for the case of return.
Further details on this right recognised by law, as well as the explanation on how to exercise it can be found in clause 14 of these Conditions.
This provision does not affect the rights recognized to the consumer by current legislation.
8. DELIVERY
Without prejudice to the provisions of Clause 5 above and unless extraordinary circumstances occur, we will try to send the order of the product (s) listed in the Shipping Confirmation before the delivery date contained in the Shipping Confirmation, in any case, when working with suppliers this period will be between 1 and 6 weeks.
HOMEBYAUK will always inform the User of the delivery times foreseen for each product offered on the web. In addition, once the order has been formalized, the User may consult, when necessary, the status of his order in the "MY ACCOUNT" section.
The delay may be due to the following reasons:
. Customization of products;
. Specialized articles;
. Unforeseen circumstances;
. Delivery area;
If for any reason we are unable to meet the delivery date, we will inform you of this circumstance and give you the option to proceed with the purchase by setting a new delivery date or cancel the order with a full refund of the price paid. Please note in any case that we do not deliver on Saturdays or Sundays.
By accepting this delivery service, you are accepting the entry into your home of the personnel in charge of making the deliveries, and we ask you to remove anything that could suffer damage at the time of delivery. Except in the event that it is due to our negligence, we will not be liable for anything that has not been duly removed if You could have taken reasonable steps to eliminate or minimize the risk.
Please make sure that the ordered products fit well in your home, in the places where you intend to place them or in the delivery areas. If the product(s) does not fit, at this time you can still accept delivery or return the products, taking into account that the return will be at your expense (for more details, see our Returns Policy).
For the purposes of these Conditions, it will be understood that the "delivery" has occurred or that the product(s) have been "delivered" at the time of signing the receipt of the same at the agreed delivery address.
9. IMPOSSIBILITY OF DELIVERY
If it is impossible for us to make the delivery, we will try to find a safe place to leave the package for you. If we cannot find a safe place, your product(s) will be returned to our warehouse. We will leave you a note explaining where your package is located and how to get it shipped to you again. If you will not be at the place of delivery at the agreed time, please contact us to arrange delivery on another day.
Please note that the storage and reshipment of your product(s) may have an additional cost.
10. TRANSFER OF RISK AND OWNERSHIP
The risks of the Products will be borne by you from the moment of delivery.

11. PRICE AND METHOD OF PAYMENT
The price of the products will be the one stipulated at all times on our website, except in case of manifest error. Although we try to make sure that all the prices listed on the page are correct, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of the products you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option to reconfirm your order at the correct price or cancel it. If we are unable to contact you, the order will be considered cancelled and you will be fully refunded the amounts that have been paid.
We will not be obliged to supply you with the product(s) at the incorrect lower price (even if we have sent you the Shipping Confirmation) if the error in the price is obvious and unequivocal and could reasonably have been recognised by you as the incorrect price.
The prices on the website include VAT and shipping costs in Spain, Peninsular Portugal, Andorra and Gribraltar. For other destinations, ask for a quote at: www.homebyauk.com
Prices may change at any time, but (except as set out above) possible changes will not affect orders for which we have already sent you a Shipping Confirmation.

The User may make the payment through any of the following systems:
Payment by card: (Visa and MasterCard). In the case of choosing this modality, the User will be able to make their purchases comfortably and safely with their card through the Payment Platform of La Caixa. If the User uses this payment method, his order will not be validated until the payment is made to the indicated account, under the authorization of the competent payment centers. If the payment is not authorized, the User's order cannot be accepted and will be canceled for such reason.
In the event that the details of the buyer and the cardholder do not correspond, Homebyauk reserves the right to contact the User to confirm their identity or to contact the bank to ensure that there are no notifications of theft of the bank card.
Charges will be made to the bank card at the time the purchase details are confirmed. In case it has not been possible to do so due to any circumstance, we will contact you through the email you provided in the registration to inform you of the incident.
Payments made by bank card will not incur additional expenses.
It should be borne in mind that the La Caixa payment gateway provided by HOMEBYAUK, has the appropriate security measures to avoid interceptions in communications. However, any transfer of data over the Internet has the risk of being intercepted by breaching security systems. Homebyauk does not guarantee that this cannot occur, not being responsible if it happens.
Pay Pal: The User can make the amount of his order effective through his Pay-Pal account. Your purchase will be considered made in the same terms as in the case of making the payment by bank card. In any case, it is necessary that the Data of the Pay-Pal account correspond to the data of the buyer, otherwise HOMEBYAUK reserves the right to contact the buyer to ratify his identity.
Wire transfer: If the User opts for this means of payment, he will receive an e-mail with the bank details necessary to make the transfer for the value of the total amount of the order. Once HOMEBYAUK has received the transfer in your account, it will proceed to validate the order and send it. The bank commissions accrued as a result of the realization of the bank transfer will depend on each entity and the conditions thereof and will be borne, in any case, by the User.
HOMEBYAUK states that it does not have access to confidential data relating to the means of payment used, and therefore does not store them. Only La Caixa and Pay-Pal have access to this data as a way of managing payments and collections and that we are inaccessible to other third parties.
