With the denominations ”we,'' ”our”, and “us” are meant Akụkọ Sweden AB. If you are below 18 years of age you need permission from your legal guardian to place an order in the Online Shop. By using the Online Shop and/or placing an order, you accept these general terms and conditions (the ”General Terms and Conditions”). Akụkọ Sweden AB reserves the right to – from time to time - amend these General Terms and Conditions. Any changes that Akụkọ Sweden AB makes will enter into force no earlier than thirty (30) days after the revised General Terms and Conditions have been made available in the Online Shop.

 

Ordering & Acceptance of Purchases

Before you submit your order, you will be given the opportunity to review your selection, check the total price of your order and correct any input errors. Akụkọ Sweden AB does not guarantee that all items included in the Online Shop are in stock at the time of your ordering meaning that items in your shopping basket are not reserved and therefore may no longer be available once you place your order. In the event that an item is unavailable, we will contact you as soon as possible by e-mail to the e-mail address that you have provided to us at the time of your placing of the order. After submitting your order in the Online Shop, we will send you an order summary to the e-mail address that you have provided to us at the time of your placing of the order. The order summary contains your order number, details of the item that you have ordered and delivery particulars. Please note that the order summary is not an acceptance of the order but a mere acknowledgement that we have received your order. Once the order has been processed and we see that the items that you have ordered are available and that all other information that you have provided is complete, we will send a confirmation of your purchase to the e-mail address that you have provided to us at the time of your placing of the order. The confirmation of your purchase contains shipping information. We ship your order within 24 hours after the order confirmation. Make sure to submit the correct billing and shipping address to avoid delivery delays. We do not accept delivery to post office boxes, army post office addresses or to any similar addresses. We reserve the right to – in our total discretion – not accept your order.

 

Pricing

We reserve the right to change the prices of the items sold in the Online Shop at any time and without any notice. Change in price will of course not apply for items already purchased by you. Akụkọ Sweden AB reserves the right to cancel any order prior to dispatch should we find that the price is incorrect. In such a case we will notify you by email to the email address that you have provided to us at the time of your placing of the order. If we are unable to contact you, your order will be automatically cancelled. If you have been charged the wrong amount in the Online Shop, Akụkọ Sweden AB will give you the option of placing a new order with the correct price or canceling your order. Periodic sales and/or campaign offers are valid - unless otherwise stated - as long as the items are available in stock and/or until the end date of the periodic sale and/or the campaign offer is reached under the terms specified in each offer/campaign.

European Union countries (excl. Åland Island) All prices shown in the Online Shop include applicable Value Added Tax (VAT), but exclude delivery charges (see information on delivery charges below). Non EU countries (incl. Åland Island) Please bear in mind that all items ordered from our Online Shop are shipped from Sweden. This means that if you live outside the European Union or on Åland Island, you will not be charged for VAT under Swedish laws, but you can, and probably will, be charged for tax, duty, import, brokerage fees and/or other additional fees (“Additional Fees”) upon receiving the package. Note that you, as a customer, are responsible for payment of the Additional Fees - Akụkọ Sweden AB will not compensate you for the Additional Fees that may be added to deliveries outside of EU. Akụkọ Sweden AB is unable to calculate the exact amount of Additional Fees, since these Additional Fees are imposed directly by your local customs. Please note that Akụkọ Sweden AB doesn’t take any part of these Additional Fees as they are out of our control. We recommend that you contact your local customs office before placing your order, for further information on current Additional Fees. UPS will invoice you for these Additional Fees upon delivery of your order, through cash, check or invoice, and needs to be paid in for you to be entitled to collect the package.

 

 

Payment

We accept all major credit cards; VISA, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro and Discovery as well as Swish, PayPal and Klarna.

Akụkọ Sweden AB reserves the right to check the validity of the credit or debit card, its credit status in relation to the order value and whether the address data that you have provided correlates with the address data of the credit or debit card. We may refuse orders depending on the result of these controls.

It is advisable to make sure that you have sufficient funds on your credit or debit card before you place your order. Credit card companies may block foreign and/or online purchases for security reasons why you need to contact your credit card company and ask them to remove such blocks if applicable.

Klarna account

Akụkọ Sweden AB reserves the right to check the validity of the Klarna account that you use for payment. Akụkọ Sweden AB also reserves the right to check that there are enough funds to cover your purchase and validate the billing address details that you have entered. For Klarna, the applicable amount will be reserved on your Klarna account immediately in connection with your placement of your order but will not be debited until your package is dispatched.

 

Cancellations

You have the right to cancel your purchase within fourteen (14) days from the date of receipt of the item or from the day you received the last item in an order of several items in your possession.

If you want a refund for your duties and/or taxes for refunds outside the European Union, you´ll need to contact your local UPS Access Point or UPS Customer Service. Please be informed that you stand the risk for the return transportation of the item to Akụkọ Sweden AB meaning that you are responsible for any damage or loss of the item you are returning during the transportation of the item back to Akụkọ Sweden AB In light of this we recommend that you send the package using a delivery service that insures you for the value of the items. Akụkọ Sweden AB recommends that you always save the receipt until the return of your item has been completed.

Please note that Akụkọ Sweden AB will not compensate you for the return freight or delivery charges. Furthermore, if your handling of the item that you are returning has resulted in a decreased value of the item due to wear or handling to an extent beyond what is reasonable in order for you to try out/test the item, Akụkọ Sweden AB will make a deduction of the refund corresponding to the amount of the loss of value of the item.
