Termini e condizioni
General information
Shopping on strettoblaster.com is possible by using the cart. All products that can be added to the cart can normally be delivered. In addition, StrettoBlaster also offers the option of pre-ordering records before their official release date. For the purpose of clarity, SB would like to emphasise that the pre-ordered products cannot be delivered before the official release date. The vinyl records available for sale include new records as well as used records in good condition. If the condition of used records deviates from the average quality, this is mentioned in the description. In the case of used vinyl records, a clearly legible text appears detailing conditions of the media and its cover, whereas the “New product” text is shown in the case of a new record.
Area of applicability
These TCs are applicable for every order placed with SB irrespective of whether the order has been placed via the website using the “Cart”. Contract partners are Strettoblaster, 115A Albion Rd, London N16 9PL (subsequently „SB“) and the consumer or contractor (subsequently „customer“).
A “consumer” means a natural person, except a merchant who obtains goods or services for the purposes of his business. “Contractor” in these GTCs means any natural or legal person who concludes a legal transaction for a purpose that can be attributed to its commercial or independent professional activity. These GTCs apply to all, including future contracts between SB and the customer. With each contract, the customer accepts the GTCs active at the point in time of the conclusion of the contract. The following GTCs apply to all contracts, thus contravening all other regulations or GTCs the customer might have. These GTCs can be accessed online under the link GTCs.
Conclusion of a contract
Orders can be placed with SB by using the cart on the website (www.strettoblaster.com) as well as by email. The order is a binding offer of the customer to conclude a sales contract.
The sales contract comes into existence when SB sends an order confirmation to the customer via email. If SB does not have the customer’s email address, the sales contract shall be concluded over the email.
SB can accept the customer’s offer mentioned in the order within 5 calendar days. If this does not happen (no order confirmation, no conclusion of the contract over the phone within the specified period), the customer’s offer shall be considered as rejected.
Orders via the website (cart)
Order can be placed via strettoblaster.com using a cart system equipped with a secured connection (https-Protocol/SSL-Encryption) in the following three steps.
Step 1
The customer can add the products of his/her interest to the cart by clicking on the “Add To Cart” function. The customer can use the “Cart” button to view the cart at any time. He/she can view the products in the cart, their prices and quantities. In the “Quantities” column, the customer can select the “Remove item” function in the “pull-down menu” to remove any selected product from the cart.
Step 2
The customer can click on the “Checkout” button to go to step 2, where he/she must enter the address, email address and telephone number. He/she can also specify a delivery address that is different from the invoice address.
Step 3
The order is completed in step 3. The invoice and delivery address is displayed again to the customer. He/she can use the “Change data” button to correct incorrect entries. Before completing the order, the customer must select one of the available payment methods. Once the customer clicks on the “Buy” button, it shall be considered that the customer has accepted the Terms which can be viewed at any time. These Terms can be viewed at any time as a “print version” in the PDF format and saved. The customer can always cancel the previous order step and make changes. After clicking on the “Buy” button, the customer will immediately receive an email indicating the receipt of his/her order. The receipt confirmation is normally sent along with the order confirmation email.
Prices/packaging /shipping costs
There is no minimum order value at SB. All prices are specified in British Pounds and are not inclusive of the statutory sales tax (VAT). Prices specified at the time of concluding the order shall be applicable. The sales tax is specified separately in the invoices. SB does not impose additional charges for the packaging of the consignment. All shipping costs are on behalf of the customer. Additional customs duties and charges are applicable for deliveries in non-EU countries.
Payment conditions / reservation of proprietary rights / Electronic Invoice
Payment methods
SB accepts payments per bank account, Paypal and credit card (Visa, Master Card and American Express).
Bank transfer
Money must be transferred to the specified bank account when concluding the contract. The customer must bear the transactions charges applicable for money transfer.
PayPal
The procedure prescribed by PayPal is used for payments via PayPal. If payments are made via PayPal, SB does not receive the customer’s bank account details.
Credit card
For credit card payments, SB works with the “Stripe” payment system of Stripe LTD which is certified as per the highest level of security standard PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard). The customer needs to enter the essential credit card and payment details online using the Stripe interface.
As a result, SB does not receive the customer’s details. The data is transferred using a secured connection (SSL-encrypted). The customer’s credit card account is debited once the order is completed.
The following cards are accepted: Visa Card, MasterCard and American Express.
Reservation of proprietary rights
The customer is under obligation to pay the entire purchase price in advance within fourteen (14) days after receiving the order confirmation sent by SB or after the contract conclusion via email (advance payment). The product will be dispatched after receiving the payment. The deadline shall be considered to be met if the specified amount is credited to the SB account before this period expires (the value date in the account statement is considered as the payment receipt date).
Until the entire payment is made, products remain the property of SB, and SB reserves the right to refuse to deliver the promised service if the products are not available. In the case of not available items, if the payment has already been made, a credit note for the purchase price will be sent to the customer and is adjusted against the next order or the payment is refunded at the request of the customer.
If the ordered products need to be delivered in a foreign country (especially outside of Europe), the customer must bear the applicable import duties (primarily customs).
Electronic Invoice
The customer shall receive an electronic invoice together with the Shipping Confirmation. An electronic invoice is an invoice issued and received in electronic form. The customer consents to the sending of an electronic invoice.
SB’s right to rescind
If SB does not receive the payment within the 14-day payment period SB is entitled to withdraw from the contract. After receiving the order, SB reserves the ordered products for the customer. If the products are reserved, they are not available for sale to other customers. In order to sell the ordered products to other customers, SB may withdraw from the sales contract if payment is not received within the agreed period.
Shipping/delivery time
Orders are dispatched via Hermes, or Royal Mail (Federal Express Corporation Inc.).
If the delivery fails due to reasons in the customer’s domain, the customer carries any additional shipping costs should the order be re-sent. It is further the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the delivery can be made successfully during business and delivery hours to the specified delivery address. SB carries the risk of loss insofar that the customer is a consumer. The risk of loss and accidental damage is transferred to the customer upon receipt of the goods.
SB also reserves the right to entrust another company with delivery.
Acceptance of the delivery by the customer
The customer should not accept packages that are visibly damaged on the outside without registering a complaint as this will make the verification of a damaged consignment during transit at the cost of SB difficult or may rule out such a possibility. When accepting the consignment, the customer must, therefore, ensure that the delivered package is not damaged on the outside. If the package is visibly damaged and therefore damage to its contents is obvious, the customer must show this to the delivery agent and let the delivery agent make a suitable note and should retain a copy of this note.
Right of Withdrawal
Customers of SB reserve the right of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of the Distance Selling Regulations.
Cost bearing agreement in the event of withdrawal
If the right of withdrawal is exercised, the customer bears the direct costs of a return. Customers returning goods from other countries than the United Kingdom bear the direct costs of a return in general.
Warranty
The warranty is based on statutory regulations unless liability is otherwise excluded or limited by these GTCs. In the case of complaints, we request that you send the proof of purchase by submitting a copy of the invoice and the corresponding product (along with a copy of the invoice) to
Normal wear and tear of products shall not be considered as justifications for warranty claims. In the case of textiles, the following liability limitations apply: Slight differences in colour between the product pictures and the delivered product are due to a technical nature and do not constitute a defect. If textiles are not cared for or washed as instructed liability is not assumed for resulting defects. SB thus place an emphasis on carefully observing the washing instructions given on the labels on the product. SB shall not be responsible for any arising claims due to cleaning methods deviating from the prescribed ones.
Applicable Law
For all disputes arising from this contract, the law of the United Kingdom shall exclusively apply excluding the UN Convention on the International Sales of Goods.
Concluding provision
If one of the provisions in these General Business Conditions becomes ineffective, it does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
Dispute resolution
The European Commission provides a platform for the out-of-court resolution of disputes (ODR platform), which can be viewed under http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. We are willing to enter into dispute resolution proceedings before the consumer arbitration board.
