In case of refund not caused by the Seller’s fault, payment processing fees charged by third-party providers are non-refundable and may be deducted from the amount returned. This provision does not affect any mandatory consumer protection rights under applicable law.
Article 7 - Delivery
7.1 Principles
The products will be delivered by the Supplier to the address indicated by the Customer on the order form, which can only be in the agreed geographical area. By default, invoices are sent to the courier address indicated by the Customer at the time of registration.
For reasons of availability and stock, an order containing several articles may, if necessary, be delivered to the Customer in several installments. In this case, the Customer shall pay the delivery costs only once. If the Customer wishes to have deliveries to several different locations, he will have to place as many orders as there are delivery locations chosen. In this case, each order will give rise to the invoicing of the required delivery costs.
Failure by the Customer to comply with its obligations under the present chapter "Delivery" shall automatically result in the exclusion of the liability of the company STARPOINT TRADING LIMITED in the event of damage declared by the Customer.
7.2 Characteristics of the delivery
The Customer is delivered to his home address delivery person and electronically signs an acknowledgement of receipt. In case of absence, the Customer or the recipient of the ordered product receives a delivery notice, which allows him to contact the carrier to arrange another delivery day.
The Customer is required to check in the presence of the deliveryman the condition of the parcel and the number of parcels delivered. In case of doubt, he is required to refuse the package and report these incidents to Seller.
Risk passes to the Customer upon delivery of the goods to the address specified in the order and signature of the delivery receipt. Any visible damage must be noted on the delivery receipt at the time of delivery.
7.3 Delivery times
The estimated dispatch time is indicated on each product page. Such dispatch time is indicative only and refers to the handover of the goods to the carrier, not to the final delivery to the Customer.
A delay in dispatch or delivery does not entitle the Customer to cancel the order or claim compensation, except as expressly provided below.
If dispatch of an in-stock product has not occurred within ninety (90) calendar days from the dispatch date expressly stated in the Seller’s order confirmation email, the Customer may cancel the order by written notice to the Seller. In such case, the Seller shall refund the amounts actually received for the undelivered product. No additional compensation, damages, penalties, or interest shall be payable.
The dispatch date stated in the order confirmation email shall prevail over any estimated timelines shown on the product page.
For the avoidance of doubt, this cancellation right applies exclusively to in-stock products and does not apply to made-to-order or fully custom products.
Shipping times after handover to the carrier are estimates provided by the carrier and are not guaranteed by the Seller. The Seller shall not be liable for delays attributable to the carrier.
If goods have been dispatched but have not reached the Customer, an investigation with the carrier may take up to twenty-one (21) working days. If the goods are located during this period, they will be re-routed to the delivery address indicated in the order.
If the goods are confirmed lost after the investigation period, the Seller shall, at its discretion, either resend the product or refund the amount actually received for the undelivered product.
The Seller shall not be liable for delays caused by force majeure events or circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
7.4 Payment & Taxes
The Seller hereby notifies the Buyer that all local taxes, customs duties, or other charges applicable to the order upon delivery to another country are entirely the responsibility of the Buyer. The Seller is not liable for payment of these charges and cannot anticipate their exact amounts. The Buyer is required to familiarize themselves with local tax and customs regulations before placing an order.

Custom and made-to-order products are excluded from return unless defective.

The Seller will notify the Buyer of the failed delivery using all available means (email and/or phone).

7.6.3. Reshipment and Reordering
If the Buyer contacts the Seller within two (2) months, they may request a reshipment but must cover the additional shipping costs.
