SCOPE OF APPLICATION
These General Terms and Conditions of FINNLY'S FINE JEWELLERY (hereinafter referred to as "FINNLY'S", "we", "us") shall apply to all contracts concluded between a consumer or a trader (hereinafter referred to as "Client”, "you", "your") and Finnly's relating to all goods and/or services presented on FINNLY'S website. The inclusion of the Client’s own conditions is herewith objected to, unless other terms have been stipulated.
A consumer pursuant to these Terms and Conditions is any natural person concluding a legal transaction for a purpose attributed neither to a mainly commercial nor a self-employed occupational activity. A trader pursuant to these Terms and Conditions is any natural or legal person or partnership with legal capacity acting in the performance of a commercial or self-employed occupational activity when concluding a legal transaction.
The Terms and Conditions shall supplement any subsequent terms or conditions included with any purchase order, whether or not such terms or conditions are signed by FINNLY's.
ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
FINNLY'S reserves the right to make changes to these Terms & Conditions at any time, and such changes will become effective and binding upon posting. Consequently, the action of placing an order implies complete adherence, without reservation, to these Terms & Conditions. The Client may have other rights granted by mandatory law, and these Terms & Conditions do not affect these except if they are inconsistent. If this is the case then these Terms & Conditions will override any other rights which you may have, unless this is not permitted by law.
CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT
The presentation of the Product(s) on FINNLY'S website does not represent any legally binding offer, but a non-binding online catalogue. An Order is only possible when all the obligatory fields have been filled in.
On Finnly's website the Client will be guided through the steps necessary to place an order. The Client may submit the offer via the online order form integrated into FINNLY'S website. In doing so, after having placed the selected goods in the virtual basket and passed through the ordering process, and by clicking the button marked "Complete Order" ( or similar), the Client submits a legally binding offer of contract with regard to the goods contained in the shopping cart. At the same time the Client confirms that he has read and understood the current Terms & Conditions.
FINNLY'S order process allows the Client to check and amend any input errors before submitting a binding order via FINNLY'S online order form. The Client may recognize input errors by reading attentively the information displayed on the screen. FINNLY'S acceptance of the Clients order will take place with an email confirmation to the email address the Client has register during the order process, summarising the order ( products, prices, product availability, quantity, estimated delivery date etc.). At this point FINNLY'S will process the payment details the Client has given to FINNLY'S to take payment for the Order.
If Finnly's is unable to accept the Clients order, Finnly's will notify the Client by email. This might be because the Product(s) is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on resources, which could not have been foreseen, because an error in the price or description of the Product(s) has been identified or because the requested delivery deadline cannot be met.
In addition, FINNLY'S reserves the right to reject orders from Clients if there is reason to believe that the Client is acting in contravention of these Terms and Conditions, is involved in fraudulent activities or other activities of importance from a criminal law standpoint or any other material reason exists.
Order processing and contacting usually takes place via e-mail and automated order processing. It is the Client’s responsibility to ensure that the e-mail address he provides for the order processing is accurate so that e-mails sent by Finnly's can be received at this address. Particularly, it is the Client`s responsibility, if SPAM filters are used, to ensure that all e-mails sent by Finnly's or by third parties commissioned by Finnly's with the order processing can be delivered.
RIGHT TO CANCEL
The Client can withdraw from a statement of willingness to enter into a contract within 7 days as of the day on which he, or a third party designated by him, who is not the carrier, took possession of the merchandise and to do so without providing reasons. For contracts concern regular delivery of merchandise over a set period, the rescission period begins on the day on which the buyer or a third party named by him and who is not the carrier gains possession of the first merchandise. In order to exercise his right of rescission, the Client must inform FINNLY'S, email: contact@finnlys.com by means of a clear statement ( e-mail) about his decision to withdraw from the contract.
Excepted from this right of rescission are merchandise which are customised to the customer's specifications or clearly customized to his personal needs. In the event of an effective rescission, the merchandise must be sent back by the Client immediately, but no later than 7 days as of the date of the notice of rescission to:
Finnly's Fine Jewellery, Suite 2503, Bank of America Tower,
12 Harcourt Road, Central, Hong Kong.
The deadline is preserved if the Client sends out the merchandise within 7 days of the deadline. The Client shall bear the direct costs of return shipping. FINNLY'S shall refund to the Client all payments received by it, excluding shipping costs, no later than 14 days as of the date of receipt of merchandise via the same method of payment that the Client used for the original transaction barring other arrangements. FINNLY'S reserves the right to refuse a refund until it has received the merchandise back or until the Client has provided proof of return shipping, which ever comes first. The Client must only cover any loss in value of the merchandise if upon examination of the condition, characteristics and method of functioning of the merchandise, said loss can be attributed to unnecessary use thereof.
PRICES AND PAYMENT CONDITIONS
All prices are given in Hong Kong Dollars (HK$), exclusive of taxes and shipping costs. The total price of the Client's order, including shipping costs but excluding taxes, will be shown at the end of the check-out process. By confirming the order the Client states, that he agrees to the price of the products. The price cannot be adjusted after the competition of the check-out process. Prices and delivery costs are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders which FINNLY'S has already confirmed in a Order Confirmation e-mail.
All payments must be made at the time of the order. Finnly's accepts payment with Visa, MasterCard, and American Express and PayPal. The Client expressly acknowledges that disclosure of their bankcard number to Paypal gives Paypal the authorisation to debit their account to the amount of the products ordered. The data recorded by Finnly's constitutes proof of order and all previous transactions. The data recorded by Paypal constitutes proof of financial transaction.
FINNLY'S will not dispatch the Product(s) until payment in full has been received. It is possible that the Client's card issuer may charge an online handling fee or processing fee, for which FINNLY'S can not be held responsible.
If payment is made by credit card, FINNLY'S reserves the right to check the validity of the card and to monitor the availability parameters for collection and the address data. If the institution that issued the credit card refuses to make payment to FINNLY'S, FINNLY'S cannot be held liable for delays or for failure to deliver.

Should the assigned transport company return the goods to FINNLY'S, because delivery to the Client was not possible, the Client bears the costs for the unsuccessful dispatch. This shall not apply, if the Client exercises his right to cancel effectively, if the delivery cannot be made due to circumstances beyond the Client's control or if he has been temporarily impeded to receive the offered service, unless FINNLY'S has notified the Client about the service for a reasonable time in advance.
FINNLY'S will deliver orders within a maximum delay of 4 to 6 (four to six) weeks from the day after the validation of the order & payment revieved.
