 If (and only if) you are a registered user and logged into our website, you have the possibility to use the Wishlist feature on our website. You can place a product on your wishlist after logging in by clicking on the „Add to wishlist” button or heart symbol.

9. Product information, and accuracy of information

9.1. Accuracy of information

The material on this site is provided for general information only and should not be relied upon or used as the sole basis for making decisions.We are not responsible if information made available on this site is not accurate, complete or current. Every effort is made to ensure that the information (including but not only on prices, product description or product availability) shown on our website are accurate at the time you place your order. Despite our efforts, technical error can occur, and the information on our site may occasionally be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. If a major error is found, we will inform you as soon as possible, and when applicable give you the option of reconfirming your order eg. at the correct price or cancelling your order. In case of cancellation if we have already received payment for your order, you are entitled for a full refund which we provide by the same method as used for the payment, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise.

9.2. Product information

We make all reasonable efforts to provide you with product specifications and descriptions, and display the attributes of our products as accurately as possible using pictures to match their real-life representation. We cannot guarantee though that the monitor of your electronic device will accurately display colors or material textures. Product description, including certain measurements of the products are approximate and provided for information and convenience purpose only, to give you a better understanding of the product. All descriptions of products or product pricing are subject to change at anytime without notice, at our sole discretion.

IMPORTANT! Please note that many of our products are made out of wood or other natural material and / or handmade, therefore even the same model might not be uniform. As a result inconsistencies and variations (eg. in shapes or painting) to the pictures are absolutely normal as long as they do not influence the usage of the products. Wooden products might also have unique markings (eg. knots) since wood grain has changing structures and colours, which again are not default of the products, rather a proof of their natural origins. As such we might not be able to accommodate a complaint regarding the nature of these products – other than the usual right of withdrawal from the contract – , but we always make an effort to inform you about this on the specific product pages, too, which we advice you to read every time.

9.3. Prices

The valid price is always provided with the confirmation of your order. All prices quoted are in euro and include VAT (Value Added Tax). According to EU VAT rules and national regulation implementing it, when orders are received from another EU member state, the VAT rate of the respective invoicing member country is calculated and included in the prices, and invoices are issued accordingly.

A reimbursement of VAT when exporting to third countries (e.g. Switzerland) is unfortunately not possible.

We do not carry out any automatic decision-making or profiling.

Prices do not include delivery charges, which will be added at the checkout prior to completing the purchase. Prices for our products are subject to change without notice.  Occasionally we offer discounted prices on our site  – for more information, please see: 13. Discounts, coupons, loyalty program.

For international orders we can only accept pre-payment. Please note that we cannot accept cash in any case directly (just our shipping company when payment on delivery is available), even if you choose to pick-up your goods at our Showroom.

As for bank card payment we rely on the services of two different kinds of third party payment providers, Barion and Stripe. Please note that we reserve the right though, not to always provide both options in the same time at check-out, the availability of these payment options might vary based on location (country) of the customer.

You, as a customer pays the amount of the entire order to the company Playgency d.o.o., and together with the goods or services you also receive an invoice. You receive the invoice to your e-mail address in the order process, after the purchase contract has been concluded. The invoice breaks down the price of the products, any additional costs related to the purchase (e.g. any surcharge for delivery / postage) and the total amount of the order.

You also automatically receive a printed invoice for the purchase in the online store, which is included in the package – unless you explicitly ask us not to include a printed version.

10.7. Refunds

Refunds are, by rule of law, provided by the same way as payment has been done, unless the customer agrees otherwise. Please note though that there are certain technical restrictions that apply. We can provide a full or partial refund through bank transfer, or through Stripe if the payment has been made through this platform. Through Barion, due to technical reasons, we cannot provide partial refunds, only full refunds (eg. when the entire order is cancelled or returned). Also, full refunds might take up to 30 days until the amount is available on the original bank account after the payment has been initiated on our side. Therefore, for your convenience we suggest bank transfer, too, in such cases. Refunds are always provided in euro, even in case of international orders, and no additional costs will be refunded (including, but not only banking costs or exchange rate differences).

To process bank transfers we need the following data to be provided:

• number of bank account (in IBAN format) and BIC code
• name and address of bank account holder

Refunds are processed within five (5) working day after all necessary data is provided.

11. Dispatch and Delivery

You are informed about the amount of delivery costs during the order process, at the Checkout, before placing the order with the obligation to pay, with a separate display of the amount of these costs. Delivery costs are charged and stated on the order as well as on the invoice for the issued goods and the customer pays them together with the amount of the order. The cost of delivery is calculated automatically when ordering the goods and will be displayed at the end of the order before placing the order with the obligation to pay. The cost of delivery is part of the final price of the entire order.

In some cases – as stated below, especially in case of international orders (eg. island destination) – we reserve the right to require additional fees, when the actual cost of shipping considerably varies from the cost stated on the website (calculated as average and usual fee). In this case we always contact you and offer the possibility to withdraw from the order (along with a refund).

The cost of delivery is part of the final price of the entire order.

11.1. Domestic orders

The domestic delivery is carried out by GLS, (or certain times alternatively Pošta Slovenije or DPD, depending the size of the package and the availability of courier, like in pre-holiday seasons). All packages are tracked, regardless of the courier. The final choice of delivery service company is determined by us, the seller. The customer cannot choose which delivery service company will transport the package, , and – as part of fulfilling the service – accepts the current terms and conditions of the delivery company.

We do everything to carry out postage as fast possible after receiving the payment. For domestic orders, if we receive the payment by 10:00 am, the package is dispatched within the same day. If payment arrives later than the indicated time though, then we cannot guarantee dispatching the package the same day. The delivery time of products is indicated for each individual product, and can range from 2 to 5 working days from the confirmation of the order or, in case of pre-payment by bank transfer, the receipt of your payment. If an item is available only on pre-order we can inform you the expected availability. Please note that the time we can tell you is only approximate, therefore we cannot be held responsible for a longer delivery time in such cases, especially in periods when couriers can face delays.

The domestic shipping cost depend on the value of the order and the payment method selected:

If the total due amount (excluding shipping cost) reaches or exceeds 100 euros, and you make your payment via pre-payment, we provide free shipping as a discount.

Special shipping: Please note Creatimber balance boards are considered unique items and need special handling during shipping, even domestically. Therefore the shipping charge for them is 4.49€ / board – regardless of the overall value of the entire order. Nor free shipping neither the option to pay on delivery is applicable.

Please note that in case of payment on delivery you do not need to pay any additional cost to the courier. The shipping cost you pay to us already includes the additional service fee, and we arrange it directly with the delivery company.

Shipping time is always indicated on the product pages, it takes usually 2-5 days after the payment has been received. Shipping time is always estimated, we cannot be held responsible if this time is longer within reasonable limits, due to things outside of our control.

Regarding problem with delivery or non-delivered packages, please see 11.4.

When the option is not available, on the website at check-out it cannot be selected by default. Important: Please note that we cannot accept cash directly, so if you want to pick up your package in person, you need to make a pre-payment via bank transfer or credit card!

The customer is obliged to pick up the goods at the branch within five (5) working days of receiving the notification by e-mail / SMS message. The deadline for pick-up is an essential component of the contract. If the order is not taken over by the expiration of the specified period, the contract can be  terminated at our discretion. We are no longer obliged to store your order, and we are no longer obliged to  this case we no longer guarantee a reservation for the ordered products..

11.2. International delivery

We also deliver within the European Union as below, but – partly for distribution reasons – we are unable to accommodate requests to sell (incl. to invoice and to ship) outside the EU (including UK from 1^st January, 2021).

BASIC SHIPPING FEE:

For EU orders, at check-out there is an average flat rate fee provided for convenience as follows:

IMPORTANT!

Please note that these fees are mainland Europe only. In cases of island destinations (in, but not only in the case of Croatia, Portugal, Spain) might be subject to additional fees that we can require to be settled before dispatching your order. In international orders we also generally reserve the right –  especially in case of a heavier or larger package – to require an additional fee, in case the available shipping prices significantly vary from the fee above. In such cases we will always notify you of the additional charges and provide you an option of settling the fee or withdrawing from your order with a full refund provided.

HEAVY ITEMS (ADDITIONAL SHIPPING FEE)

Please note that some uniquely sized or heavier items, that needs special handling when shipped internationally, require an additional shipping fee of

+ 5 euros / piece

above the basic shipping fee.

The product pages of the concerned products always include information regarding the additional fee. In such cases free shipping is not available.

Please note that Creatimber balance boards currently cannot be shipped internationally by our courier, therefore check-out is disabled for baskets containing these items. If you would like to order one, please contact us directly and we will look into the individual possibilities for you.

In case of international orders, dispatch is made within 48 hours after the order, and shipping times are generally longer than the domestic shipping  time indicated on the product pages. Within the EU it takes  3-10 working days depending on the destination. To neighboring countries (including Croatia, Italy, and Austria) it generally takes 2-4 working days. To Hungary it takes  3-6 working days.

*To Hungary we also offer priority shipping for 13.99 euros, dispatching within the same day if orders are received before 12:00, the next if after. In case of priority shipping, the packages normally take 2-3 working days to arrive.

Please note that in certain cases (eg. when restrictions apply or in holiday season) shipping might also take longer.

We carry out shipping with GLS, DPD, or Pošta Slovenija – depending on the country, the size of package and the availability of the couriers. All packages are tracked. For more information on international orders please check 19. International orders.

11.3. Dispatch and delivery during store holidays

Please note that during store holidays (see: 1.2. Business hours), the website still operates and orders can be placed, but orders will be only confirmed and packages dispatch after the holidays. In such cases, the 2-5 days of delivery time (or longer in international orders) can be calculated from the despatch time, of which the customer will be notified. We also reserve the right to close check-out for store holidays. In this case, we always notify our website visitors.

11.4. Problem with delivery or non-delivered packages

For a safer delivery we send all packages tracked. In all cases, – for your convenience and to be able to track and be present to be at the provided address for the expected delivery time – , whether

(a) we pay for an additional service where the customer is notified through an email and/or SMS about the expected delivery time,
(b) or we communicate to customer the tracking number in the confirmation email.

In all cases, you as a customer are responsible to make sure that the delivery address is correct, and to be present and available at that address to take over the package (or authorise somebody do it on your behalf). You are responsible to follow the status of package, and if there is any problem to communicate it to us within reasonable time.

If attempted delivery is not successful in the indicated and communicated timeframe, the courier is not obliged to automatically re-deliver it, but can also leave it in a close-by pick-up point or locker where it can be taken over for free of charge. In cases of a first non-successful delivery, all possible charges of re-delivery or collecting the package must be borne by the customer, and the original delivery fee cannot be claimed back.

In case the package was or should have been delivered according to the tracking number or email and / or SMS sent by the courier company, and it wasn’t you who took it over, you need to communicate it to us as soon as possible, but no later than 48 hours after the marked delivery time in the system. In this case, to start an investigation with the courier company and apply for a possible compensation for unauthorised take-over of the package, we need full cooperation on the your behalf (especially, but not only filling in documents stating that it was indeed not you taking over the package).

You can provide notes regarding the wishes about delivery in the comments of your order, but in case the courier is directed to leave the package at a designated place (eg. in front of the door) instead of giving the package over at any point of the delivery process, we do not take any responsibility for the success of delivery. In that case a missing or damaged package is solely your responsibility of the customer, no compensation can be claimed.

12. Packaging

To help reduce our impact on the environment we try to reuse packaging materials where it is possible, and we use a mix of new and recycled packaging materials. The packaging materials we receive and reuse may not always fit in with the values we try to communicate, but we feel it is still better for the environment to re-use them than to throw them out. While some boxes may have a little ‘pre-loved’ look about them, be reassured that we take care that the products you have ordered reach you in perfect condition, so they will always be carefully and securely packaged.

13. Discounts, coupons, loyalty and affiliate programme

13.1. Discount prices

Occasionally we also offer discounted prices on certain products, marked with the label „SALE!”. On our webpage we always display the original retailer price and the discounted price. We might offer the sale price for a limited time or limited quantity only, so being displayed on the site at a particular time does not guarantee the availability at order, neither imply or warrant that these products or services will be available at any time in the future. Occasionally we also offer discounts on certain products which eg. have little defaults on the packaging, or have been unpacked and used as display items or were previously returned to us, but are in good condition otherwise. When such item is offered on a discounted price, we make sure to inform you of the reason of the discount on the product page, and in these cases no claims can be made on this basis.

13.2. Coupon codes

We do offer occasional coupon codes that entitle you for purchasing products at a discounted price. When we advertise we always make clear the availability of the offer, and the restrictions that might apply. Coupons can be restricted in use, so please always consult the terms and conditions of certain promotions beforehand. The specific terms of our current promotional codes you can find under this link.

As a general rule, no coupon (except the ones entitling to free shipping) can be used for items which are offered at a discounted price already. Unless otherwise stated general percentage discount codes cannot be used together with other promotional offers. Any discount code or vouchers cannot be exchanged for money.

Please note that we cannot give information over the phone, email or social media enquiries regarding planned promotions. Neither can we disclose promotional codes on individual requests through phone requests. Codes are disclosed in campaigns published on our social media, offline placements or on physical flyers distributed with orders or during other offline campaigns. Over the phone we cannot give information on individual codes sent with individual orders, either. All customers receiving codes are responsible keeping their codes or remembering the code of the offer they are eligible to. We do not take any responsibility for losing the promotional codes or any misuse when disclosed to third parties. 

We reserve the right to refuse the use or validation of any coupon (especially but not only in the case we notice an intentional abuse, technical errors or any other error), even if the order has already been placed with using the coupon. In case we cannot accept the coupon, we notify you every time and give you the right to proceed with your order without the coupon or cancel it.

13.3. Coupons for the newsletter subscribers

If you subscribe to our newsletter, you will receive a coupon code in an email that entitles you for 5 % off from your first purchase (excluding the delivery fee, and excluding items on sale). The code is sent out in an automatic email after you have confirmed your subscription. The email might occasionally land in your spam folder depending your email service provider, so please also check it there. In case the email has not arrived, feel free to contact us, so we can offer the coupon code directly. The coupon can only be used once by a person, and cannot be used together with other discounts or coupons. The validity of the coupon is a month after subscribing to the newsletter, we cannot guarantee that the coupon will be valid after the termination of that period. We reserve the right to refuse the use or validation of any coupon (especially but not only in the case we notice an intentional abuse, technical errors or any other error), even if the order has already been placed with using the coupon. In case we cannot accept the coupon, we notify you every time and give you the right to proceed with your order without the coupon or cancel it.

13.4 Loyalty program: Loyalty Coins

13.4.1. Earning Loyalty Coins

Customer must be registered and logged in to their account before purchase to be eligible for loyalty coins. Loyalty coins are then automatically earned by purchasing products online: 3 loyalty coins are earned for every 1 euro spent on products (excluding shipping and other additional fees, rounded to the nearest integer by the system). Loyalty coins will be attached to the account and available once the corresponding order is shipped. In case of cancelled or returned and refunded order, loyalty coins earned with that purchase will be deducted.

Additionally, customers can earn loyalty points within the framework of other campaigns with terms and conditions determined by the campaign. Loyalty coins are valid for three months after they were earned. Earning and usage of loyalty points are logged, and can be accessed through My Profile / Loyalty Coins.

1 loyalty coin then offers 0,01 euro (1 cent discount) (eg. 123 loyalty coins equals 1,23 euros discount) three months after they were earned. Partial redemption is available, at check out customer can determine the amount of loyalty points to be used. A maximum of 15 % of the purchase can be covered by loyalty points, it is not possible to gain more discount even if there is an available balance. In case where an order was made with redeeming loyalty points, and it is cancelled before shipping, the loyalty coins spent will be returned to the customer’s account and can be used within the original validity period. In case partial or full return and refund happens loyalty points cannot be reimbursed.

13.4.3. Loyalty Coins and Other Discount

Neither earning nor redeeming loyalty coins can not be combined with other general discounts or offers, unless otherwise specified in offer. When redeeming loyalty points during a purchase, customer does earn loyalty points though for the final amount excluding discount (and shipping costs and other fees).

Before entering any sweepstakes organized by us, please make sure you read and agree with the terms and conditions of sweepstakes which will be made available on our website at the time of promotion. By entering you acknowledge that you are bound by these terms, too.

15. Right of withdrawal

According to applicable legislation, if you are a consumer (a natural person who has bought a product for purposes outside your trade or profession) and you are from an EU or EEA country, you are entitled to right of withdrawal the  set out in this point. You have the right to inform us of withdrawing from the purchase contract within 14 days after receiving the product. If you have ordered more than one product in one order, the withdrawal period will start from the day on which you receive or collect the last product. To withdraw you do not need to give any reason for cancellation.

You can exercise the right of withdrawal by a declaration which may be made on a special withdrawal form, which can be downloaded here (or in the pdf format available in Annex 1) or by any other unambiguous means. The Buyer shall be deemed to have made the withdrawal declaration in due time if he sends it within the time limit set for withdrawal. The buyer shall bear the burden of proof with regard to the exercise of the right of withdrawal. The seller is obliged to inform the consumer immediately in writing or on another durable medium of the receipt of the form.

In the event of withdrawal from the contract, a refund of the payments made, including delivery charges (except for additional charges due to the choice of a type of delivery other than the most cost-effective standard form of delivery offered by the company), will be made as soon as possible, but at the latest within 14 days of receipt of the cancellation notice. The company shall return the payments received by the same means of payment as used by the consumer, unless the consumer has expressly requested the use of another means of payment and the consumer does not incur any costs as a result or if we agree otherwise – the exception being, of course, cases where the consumer orders several products and returns or cancels only some of them.

In the event that the customer returns only certain products from the order and this means that the amount of the order falls below the amount that qualified for free shipping, the postage that was originally free will also be deducted from the amount of the refund. If you have purchased products using a discount code or voucher, only the amount you have actually paid will be refunded, as we cannot refund amounts that have been settled using a discount voucher.

Important! The only cost you have to bear is the cost of returning the goods, unless of course the goods you received were incorrect, damaged or faulty. Please package the products carefully, because we cannot be held liable for any damage occurring during the return shipping. Also please ensure that you ask for a proof of posting receipt at the post office or delivery company when you send the item(s) back. This is your insurance if it gets lost or damaged during shipping.

You must return the unwanted goods to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from notifying us, to the following address:

Malih nog naokrog, Playgency d.o.o.
Zarnikova ulica 7a
1000 Ljubljana
Slovenia

We reserve the right to withhold payment until we receive the returned goods. All goods must be in brand new condition with all packaging and instructions intact, in a resalable condition. The extent to which a customer can handle the goods is the same as it would be if you were assessing them in a shop. Should the item show signs of use we cannot accept it returned. We reserve the right to refuse a refund if the items are not in their original condition, or make a deduction if the value of the goods has been reduced as a result of you handling the goods more than was necessary.

The refund option does not apply to goods which are perishable or to goods to which (at the time of return) the expiry date has expired, for goods that have been manufactured in accordance with the exact instructions of the consumer, for goods that have been adapted to customer’s personal needs or for sealed goods that are not suitable for return for reasons of health or hygiene reasons, if the consumer has opened a seal after delivery. Legal entities do not have the right of withdrawing from the contract within 14 days or to claim a refund, as is the case for consumers (natural persons).

16. Incorrect deliveries and damaged goods

16.1. Damage during delivery

When you receive your item, before accepting it and taking it over from the delivery company, you are responsible to check if there is any obvious and considerable sign of damage on the package. If the package has signs of damage, please inspect the articles inside the packaging carefully in front of the courier if he allows it, and only take it over from the delivery company if all items are intact. If you are not allowed to open the package, then insist on filling in a form and registering the fact that the parcel was damaged upon arrival. If the courier service is not helpful documenting this fact, but you think the damage is not substantial, you can still decide to take over the parcel and sign it, but in this case please add to your signature at least: “signed with reservation”. If the courier service is not helpful at all, ultimately you can still refuse the package. In this case it will be taken back to the depo, and we will be notified.

Important: If you take over a package without taking one of the precautionary steps above, we might not be able to prove damage and claim compensation, and your replacement or refund might be affected.

In all cases, we would like to kindly ask you to notify us within 24 hours of delivery by filling in this online form, or writing us an email to orders@malihnog.com about the damage and what steps you have made.

In case of documented damage we will settle the issue directly with the delivery company, and meanwhile replace the damaged items and resend your order as soon as possible without any further cost to you. If we cannot resend your order (eg. the article is not in stock anymore), you are entitled to a full refund, which we provide with the same payment method as used by the consumer, unless you explicitly request otherwise.

16.2. Damaged or incorrect items

If no damage was visible from the outside, we kindly ask you to open the package after arrival if possible, and check whether you have received the right items, and if they are all in a good condition. If you discover any mistakes, please let us know preferably within 3 working days after taking over your package (but not later than 2 months if you can open the package only later) by filling in this online form, or printing this form here and sending it to us by post,  or sending us an email to orders@malihnog.com outlining the same necessary information and attaching pictures. Please keep and attach pictures of the original packaging, tags and stickers of the items – we can only accept complaints like this, as we might need the information (for example batch number) and proof to make sure of the origins of the item.

We will do everything to solve the problem as soon as possible: if only a part of the toy is damaged, then whether we will offer sending a replacement part after consulting the manufacturer, or send a replacement product, or if we are unable to do any of these two options, we will offer a refund of the price it has been bought for.

Please note that in case you have received a damaged or a different item, we might need to take it (or them) back, and we need your cooperation in their return. Of course we will arrange and cover the cost of returning the articles, and we will always do after consulting you and picking the option causing you the least inconvenience.

16.2.1. What is considered faulty or damaged in case of wooden and natural toys?

Most of our products are handmade out of natural materials, therefore they have more unique characteristics than mass-produced uniform products. We always try to inform our customers about these characteristics (for example, in product descriptions), and these cannot be claimed as faults in a complaint. Before buying natural toys, please read carefully the products pages and the available information.

If a product or a part of it is broken, has cracks, chips or splinters, then you should never give it to your children, but please contact us. If a product cannot be used as intended (for example a lid of a shape sorter cannot be opened or closed), then again we obviously consider it as a defect.

What is NOT considered as faults in wooden and natural toys? Wood can have various markings by nature that can also show up in the products. Therefore, wooden toys can naturally have changing structures and colours: it can have darker lines, different grain structures or even dark knots. Most of our manufacturers also use water-based stains, as they are healthier, more natural and also preserve the beautiful structure of wood. The structure of the wood can absorb this kind of paint differently and it is absolutely normal that colours can vary, and painting is not uniform on the same kind of product, or intensity of colour is not even everywhere on the same products. Since the toys are many times not coated and sealed with lacquer or heavy varnish, minor paint transfers are also absolutely normal. It is also normal that no two handmade products are alike. Minor asymmetries (for example in stackers or rainbows), variance in weight or thickness, velvety or a bit rougher finish (as long as it is not splintery) is again absolutely normal. Wooden figures are hand-painted, therefore every single piece is unique and they are not uniform. They can slightly differ from the one shown on the picture! Some of the wooden toys are finished with natural oils, including linseed oil which might have a stronger than usual smell after opening the packaging. This smell is completely natural and will disappear with time and use. Finishing oils can also cause some transfers on the packaging if they come in a cardboard or sack.

Of course, if the product is not to your liking or you are not satisfied with it, you still have the right and option to normally withdraw from the contract and send it back to us as outlined under 15. Cancellation right and return policy.

17. Non-conforming Products

How is product conformity checked?

The conformity of a product is verified by another, faultless product of the same type, as well as by the manufacturer’s declarations or claims made on the product itself.

How do you assert the non-conformity of a product?

You can enforce your rights under product non-conformity if you notify us of the non-conformity within two months of the date on which you discovered the non-conformity. In your notification of non-conformity, you must describe the non-conformity in detail and give us the opportunity to inspect the product.

We are not liable for non-conformities that become apparent after two years have passed since the product was delivered to you. A non-conformity is deemed to have existed at the time of delivery if it appears within one year of delivery.

If you have correctly notified us of the non-conformity, you have the right to demand that:

• We will restore the conformity of the product free of charge by repairing or replacing it;

or, if we fail to do so within a reasonable time, you have the right to:

• ask us to reduce the purchase price in proportion to the non-conformity; or withdraw from the contract of sale and ask for a refund of the amount paid.

In any case, as a consumer, you can claim compensation from us for damages arising from the assertion of a legitimate warranty claim for non-conformity of the product.

The reasonable time limit for repair or replacement is 30 days from the time you notified us of the non-conformity. The time limit may be extended to the minimum time necessary to complete the repair or replacement, but not more than 15 days.

Notwithstanding the above order of claims, you may withdraw from the contract immediately if the non-conformity of the product occurs within 30 days of delivery of the product.

You cannot withdraw from the contract if the non-conformity is only insignificant.

If the existence of a non-conformity on the product is not disputed, we will grant your request as soon as possible and at the latest within eight days. However, should the existence of a non-conformity on the product be disputed, we will respond to your request in writing and explain our position no later than eight days after receipt of your request.

For more information on your rights under product non-conformity, please refer to Articles 71-87 of the Consumer Protection Act (CPC Act-1).

18. Commercial warranty

Generally speaking, you can claim the warranty for products for which a mandatory warranty is legally required (a list of these products is determined by and can be found  in the Slovenian ’Regulations on goods’) and for those for which a voluntary commercial warranty was given. Due to the nature of products, materials and the way of production, our products from the online store generally do not have a commercial warranties, because they are manufactured robust and are intended for permanent use. (So they are not electronic product, for example.) If the product has a warranty, this is stated on the warranty card or on the invoice. The warranty can be claimed with the invoice under the circumstance written out  on the warranty card.The warranty periods are also clearly indicated on the warranty card or on the invoice.

We provide warranty information on the product page. If there is no warranty information, it means that item has no warranty or information is not known at this time. In such cases, you can always contact us for an up-to-date information.

We treat equally domestic customers and customers within the European Union. All points of our terms and conditions are valid equally regardless of the residency of visitor and/or customer within the European Union.

19.2. Prices and payment

All prices include VAT unless otherwise stated. We perform distant selling within the European Union, and VAT is calculated accordingly, based on the member state where customer is located.

The prices are in the Slovenian currency (euro), and all payment needs to be processed in this currency. The prices stated in euro and the shipping cost must be fully paid, meaning the customer is responsible for calculating with (and in case it’s necessary, also covering) the additional charges or fees caused by the exchange of currency or international transaction.

All payment (including shipping costs) must be paid in advance whether via bank card (Barion, Stripe) or bank transfer to our Slovenian account in case of international deliveries. At least one of the bank card payments is automatically available at check-out. In case you would like to pay by bank transfer, please contact us at orders@malihnog.com.

In case of returning the goods (like in case of withdrawal from the contract provided by the EU law as described under point 15.), we are obliged to repay the full price of the returned goods in our local currency, but we are not responsible to cover any additional costs (including differences caused by different exhange rates, banking costs or the international delivery fee of returning the item to our official Slovenian address).

Subsequent complaints regarding the data on the invoice won’t be taken into consideration. In the case of payment by credit card, the customer’s credit card will be directly debited upon confirmation of the order (ie when the sales contract is concluded in accordance with the general terms and conditions). The amount to be charged to the credit card may differ from the amount stated on the order, as it depends on the surcharges or fees of the card issuer (and / or card provider) applied during the transaction process.

The seller is not responsible for fees related to fluctuating exchange rates and for surcharges set by the buyer’s bank, as well as for any other additional fees for foreign currency transactions charged to the buyer by the card issuer, if EUR is not the currency in which the credit card issuer issues invoices to the customer.
