    The Site may be used only for lawful purposes and is available only for your personal, noncommercial use.  Such use shall be limited to viewing the Site, purchasing products, providing information to the Site, and downloading product information for your personal review. You are responsible for your own communications, including the transmission, posting, and uploading of information and are responsible for the consequences of such communications to the Site.

Entering Into a Contract

    Rhumaa shall confirm the customer’s order by e-mail.  A contract is created only when payment has been successfully made.  Rhumaa is entitled to refuse, or impose special conditions upon, a supply, subject to giving reasons.  If Rhumaa is unable to clearly establish the customer’s permanent or temporary address, an order cannot be accepted.
    Order processes that for whatever reason have been technically or otherwise disrupted before the payment instructions have been completed are incomplete, even if the customer has received an order confirmation.  Such an order will in principle therefore not be delivered.  Rhumaa shall endeavor, however, to contact the customer to complete the payment instructions so that delivery can be made.

Prices and Costs

    The contract price is the current price at the moment when an order is placed with the webstore.   
    The prices quoted in the webstore are exclusive of postage and administration costs.
    Rhumaa is not bound by the terms of its offer in the event that there is any printing, typesetting or programming fault on its website.

Fulfilling Orders

    Rhumaa shall act with the greatest possible care in processing orders for articles.
    Articles shall be delivered to the address given by the customer to Rhumaa, provided, that such address must be in the Netherlands.
    Rhumaa shall dispatch accepted orders as quickly as possible in the order in which they are received.
    The on the webstore indicated delivery term is approximate only and there is no right to compensation if actual delivery takes longer.
    We reserve the right to place limits on purchases and we do not authorize the purchase of commercial quantities of our merchandise.

Taxes

    The customer is responsible for all applicable sales taxes.

Right to Return Articles

    The customer is entitled to return any article to Rhumaa within fourteen (14) days of its delivery, without need to give any reason.  This right also extends to articles that have been reduced in price.  This has the effect of cancelling the purchase of that article and the customer will be refunded the amount already paid to Rhumaa for the said article.  Please note that we will not refund the shipping cost for the returned articles.
    No refund will be made in respect of articles returned to Rhumaa after the said fourteen-day period.
    Articles must be returned in accordance with the instructions set out on the packing slip enclosed with the articles.
    Articles being returned must be in the condition generally accepted for normal use for approval of the articles, such as trying on articles in conventional shops.  If a customer wishes to exercise such right to return an article, the article must be returned to Rhumaa together with everything originally sent with it, in its original state and packaging, in accordance with the clear and reasonable instructions given by Rhumaa.
    Rhumaa is entitled to refuse to accept a returned article or to send it back to the customer if the article appears to have been used, no longer carries the original labels, or reveals damage caused by the customer, or if the customer does not comply with the instructions for returning the article given by Rhumaa.

Error in Delivery

If Rhumaa delivers an article different from the one ordered, or if the article is damaged or defective, the customer must notify Rhumaa of this as soon as possible, in the way specified on the packing slip enclosed with the article.  Rhumaa shall reimburse the purchase price plus postage charge.

Complaints

    If a customer wishes to exchange or return an article, it must follow the instructions specified on the packing slip enclosed with the article.
    Other queries, comments or complaints relating to an order, payment or delivery should be sent in writing to the following e-mail address:  info@slownature.com
    The e-mail message must contain the customer’s name, e-mail address corresponding with that in Rhumaa’s records, the order number included in the order confirmation and the article number.

Minimum Age

An order will not be accepted by Rhumaa from anyone under the age of 18.
