Preamble

These general terms and conditions of sale (the " General Terms and Conditions ") are concluded between the company NOKOMIS WEBSTORE (the " Company "), and any non-commercial natural person ("the User " or " You") wishing to make a purchase on the Website (hereinafter jointly referred to as the "Parties ").

 

The Parties agree that these General Conditions exclusively govern their relationship.

 

Any User may consult the General Conditions at any time on the website http://www.nokomis.eu published by the Company (the “ Website ”).

 

These General Conditions may be subject to modifications, the applicable conditions are those in force on the Website on the date of placing your order. They are brought to the attention of the User and accepted by the latter when ordering.

The General Conditions aim to define the terms of sale between the Company and the User, from placing an order on the Website to after-sales services, including payment and delivery.

 

2. PRODUCTS

The products governed by these General Conditions are those which appear on the Website and which are indicated as sold and shipped by the Company (the " Products "). They are offered within the limit of available stocks. In particular, the Company offers for sale certain Products made at the request of the User and to measure (the " Custom Products ").

 

The essential characteristics (qualitative and quantitative) of the Products are described and presented on the Website as precisely as possible. However, these descriptions as well as the indications of dimensions and the photographs cannot be considered as entering into the contractual field.

 

Every effort is made to ensure that the photographs and descriptions of the Products appearing on the Website are faithful to the original Products. However, variations may occur, in particular due to technical limitations of color rendering on Users' computer equipment, or industrial constraints of precision on dimensions (tolerance 3%), so that the Company will not be responsible for variations not resulting from its actions or non-substantial variations.

 

With regard to Custom Products, the User is expressly informed that, due to the technical constraints related to their manufacture, Custom Products are subject to a tolerance margin in terms of finished measurements, according to the following proportions: 1%. All Custom Products whose measurements fall within this tolerance margin are considered compliant, which the User expressly acknowledges and accepts. Outside of the tolerance margins, the User has one (1) month from the date of shipment of the Custom Product to request alterations to their Custom Product. Any alteration is subject to invoicing.

 

If you order another copy of the same model several weeks apart, it is possible that the colors will vary slightly because the items will not have been dyed in the same batch. We advise Users to order all copies at the same time to avoid any difference in shade.

 

3. PRICES

The prices of the Products and Custom Products displayed on the Website are indicated in the currency of the country whose version of the Website has been chosen by the customer.
