There is no binding contract to purchase formed until we have accepted your order. This acceptance is indicated by the shipment of the goods ordered.
You indicate that you expressly agree to have your credit rating checked by inquiries to the officially-authorized credit protection associations, credit institutions and credit inquiry agencies. We reserve the right to refuse to accept the order if we receive a negative credit report.

Until the purchase price is paid in its entirety, the goods remain our property.
If you choose the Click&Collect option (UK customers only), we will keep your order in store for 14 calendar days after it has arrived. If the order is not collected, we will assume that it is unwanted, cancel the order and issue a refund via your original payment method.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You shall send back the goods without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to the address listed on our Website under “Customer Service – Return Policy“. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You can get additional information and assistance in returning items that have been ordered and the return address for your country on our Website under “Customer Service – Return Policy”.

We will bear the costs of returning the goods.

You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The customer has to take best efforts to send the products back in original condition with their original packaging and the return voucher must be attached to the products. Vouchers can generally not be replaced or returned.

10. Warranty
If there is a defect in the goods delivered, you may at your option demand that the contract be revoked or – if the goods are still deliverable – that they be replaced with the same type of good without any defects. No independent guarantee is provided in addition to that.

Exemption from or limitation on liability for damages under the previous paragraphs also applies to any claims that may exist against employees or agents of Swarovski Crystal Online AG.

12. Severability Clause
