Delivery and Returns
1. Delivery Area Trgocentar d.o.o. delivers products within the territory of the Republic of Croatia. Delivery is carried out by GLS delivery service to the address provided by the customer when placing the order. For delivery outside the stated area, as well as for special delivery conditions, the customer may contact us by e-mail at: webshop@vinarija-vitus.hr.
2. Delivery Cost The delivery cost within the Republic of Croatia is EUR 7.00 per order. For orders with a total value exceeding EUR 100.00, delivery is free of charge.
3. Delivery Time For orders placed on business days, from Monday to Friday, the Seller will process the order and submit it for delivery on the same or the following day. Orders placed during weekends, non-working days and public holidays will be processed on the next business day. Once the delivery order has been submitted to the delivery service, delivery will be carried out within 7 business days from receipt of the delivery order in the case of deliveries to the mainland territory of the Republic of Croatia. Deliveries to island locations are an exception, where delivery times may be longer. In the event of extraordinary circumstances that may affect the delivery time, the customer will be notified in a timely manner.
4. Taking Delivery of the Shipment When taking delivery of the shipment, the customer is obliged to check for any visible damage to the packaging and the shipment. If visible damage is present, we recommend that the customer refuse to accept the shipment or immediately request that the delivery service prepare a damage report. If the shipment is duly accepted, it shall be deemed that the product was received without visible external damage.
5. Right of Unilateral Termination of the Contract A customer who qualifies as a consumer has the right to unilaterally terminate a distance contract without stating a reason within 14 days from the day on which the goods were handed over into the possession of the customer or a third party designated by the customer, who is not the carrier. The decision to terminate the contract must be sent before the expiry of the stated period, either by using the unilateral contract termination form or by any other unequivocal statement. The customer may send the notice of unilateral termination of the contract to: Trgocentar d.o.o. Ulica 103. brigade 8 49210 Zabok Croatia or by e-mail to: webshop@vinarija-vitus.hr, stating their first and last name, address, telephone number or e-mail address. The customer may also use the attached sample Unilateral Contract Termination Form.
6. Return of Goods In the event of unilateral termination of the Contract, each party is obliged to return to the other party what it has received under the Contract, in accordance with the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act. Within 14 days from the day on which the Seller is informed of the Customer’s decision to unilaterally terminate the Contract, the Customer is obliged to return the goods to the Seller. A Customer exercising the right of unilateral termination of the Contract shall bear the direct costs of returning the goods. The Seller is not responsible for any issues with the delivery service used by the Customer for the return, and the Seller advises the Customer to request a shipment tracking number. This allows the Customer to ensure that the product has been delivered to the Seller. The Seller is not responsible if the Customer returns the product to the wrong address. Pursuant to the Consumer Protection Act, the Customer is responsible for any diminished value of the goods resulting from handling the goods, except for handling that was necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functionality of the goods. The Customer is obliged to return the goods in their original and undamaged packaging, together with all accompanying parts and documentation. The Seller will refund the paid funds only after the product has been returned. Once the Seller has established that the returned product meets all return conditions, the refund will be made using the same means of payment used by the Customer when making the payment. The right of unilateral termination of the contract does not apply in cases prescribed by applicable legislation, in particular where the subject of the contract is: • goods made to the customer’s specifications or clearly personalised for the customer • perishable goods or goods with a short expiry date • sealed goods which are not suitable for return due to health or hygiene reasons, if they have been unsealed after delivery • goods which, due to their nature, have been inseparably mixed with other items after delivery.
7. Damaged, Defective or Incorrectly Delivered Goods If the customer receives an incorrect product, a product with visible damage or a defective product, the customer is obliged to notify Trgocentar d.o.o. within a reasonable period, preferably no later than 48 hours from taking delivery of the shipment, by e-mail at webshop@vinarija-vitus.hr and to provide a description of the issue and, where possible, photographs of the product and packaging. After receiving the notification, Trgocentar d.o.o. will provide the customer with instructions for product replacement, product return or another method of resolving the complaint, in accordance with applicable regulations.
