IMMEDIATE CHANGES BY CONSUMER
15.1 If a Consumer changes its mind shortly after placing an order or made a mistake (e.g., providing LIVAMINA CURCUMINA with incorrect or incomplete information), the Consumer must get in touch with LIVAMINA CURCUMINA as soon as possible, directly via e-mail at: [email protected].
15.2 All requests for cancellations, changes and/or correcting mistakes must be made within 12 hours of placing an order. If not already processed and/or dispatched, LIVAMINA CURCUMINA may be able to accommodate the changes. However, LIVAMINA CURCUMINA is under no obligation to do so. If LIVAMINA CURCUMINA is unable and/or unwilling to do so, Consumer is referred to the articles below.
15.3 In the event that a mistake (e.g., providing LIVAMINA CURCUMINA with incorrect or incomplete information) prevents LIVAMINA CURCUMINA from processing an order, LIVAMINA CURCUMINA will (if possible) get in touch with Consumer to correct and/or complete it.

LIVAMINA CURCUMINA will get back to Consumer in 3 business days on how to proceed.
16.2 Consumer will have to provide LIVAMINA CURCUMINA with proof of the damage and/or the incorrect shipment (photo’s and/or video’s).

16.4 Replacement being offered and/or required do not create any grounds for Consumer to terminate and/or dissolve the Agreement.
RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL (REVOCATION)
17.1 Agreements regarding the supply of LIVAMINA CURCUMINA products manufactured according to the Consumer's specifications, which are not prefabricated and which are manufactured on the basis of an individual choice or decision of the Consumer, or which are clearly intended for a specific person, cannot in any way and/or on any grounds be terminated by Consumer. This means that all LIVAMINA CURCUMINA products that are custom made for a consumer cannot be returned and that there is no right of withdrawal in any case.
17.2 In addition, because of the sealed (air-tight) packaging of LIVAMINA CURCUMINA products being sold via LIVAMINA CURCUMINA’s webshop (thus even if not custom made), Consumer is not able to terminate any Agreement with LIVAMINA CURCUMINA as soon Consumer has opened the products / broken the (air-tight) seal of the products. In other words, Consumer does not have a general right of withdrawal in these cases. Returns are thus not accepted by default. This can only be different if LIVAMINA CURCUMINA has explicitly stated regarding a specific product being ordered and/or purchased, and thus Agreement being reached, that the Consumer even in the aforementioned events does have a right of withdrawal regarding that specific product and/or Agreement.
17.3 In the event LIVAMINA CURCUMINA explicitly stated that the right of withdrawal applies to a certain LIVAMINA CURCUMINA products being ordered and/or purchased and/or Agreement being reached, or in the event Consumer has not yet opened the products / broken the (air-tight) seal of the product(s), the following applies.
17.4 When ordering / purchasing such a LIVAMINA CURCUMINA product and/or entering into such an Agreement, a Consumer has the right to terminate an or a part of an Agreement by using its right of withdrawal (revocation), during a period of 14 days (starting on the day after the product was or product(s) were received by the Consumer), subject to these below GTCs. However, if a Consumer has been made aware of the reason for their claim prior to the purchase, Consumer will not be eligible to claim under this Article and/or Clause.
17.5 LIVAMINA CURCUMINA is allowed to ask a Consumer for the reason of this dissolution, but the Consumer is under no obligation to state their reason(s).
17.6 Excluded from the right of withdrawal are: i) (see above) products made according to Consumer specifications, which are not premade and which are made on the basis of an individual choice or decision by the Consumer (i.e., which products are personalised); ii) products that can spoil quickly or expire quickly; iii) (see above) sealed products that are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene, and whose seal has been removed after delivery.
OBLIGATIONS DURING THE WITHDRAWAL PERIOD (IF WITHDRAWAL IS POSSIBLE)
18.1 During the 14 day withdrawal period, Consumer shall treat the product and its packaging with the utmost care and only unpack or use the product as far as necessary in order to assess the nature, characteristics and efficacy of the product. The latter is only possible in the event Consumer has ordered multiple products (e.g., in the event Consumer only orders one product and breaks the seal upon delivery, that product cannot be returned anymore, subject to these GTCs. However, in the event Consumer orders two products and breaks the seal of the first product, Consumer can – whilst taking into account the GTCs for the remainder – terminate part of the Agreement, by partially withdrawing and resending the second product of which the seal has not been broken).
18.2 Consumer is responsible for and will be held liable for any and all damage during the withdrawal period and thereafter, until such time as LIVAMINA CURCUMINA has received and checked its products after receipt.
EXERCISING RIGHTS AND COSTS (IF WITHDRAWAL IS POSSIBLE)
19.1 A Consumer who wants to exercise their right of withdrawal shall (need to) report this to LIVAMINA CURCUMINA within the withdrawal period, at: [email protected].
19.2 LIVAMINA CURCUMINA will provide the Consumer with a link to a form for right of withdrawal that should only be completed and returned if the Consumer wants to exercise its right of withdrawal.
19.3 As quickly as possible, but no later than 14 days after the day of reporting of their right of withdrawal, Consumer shall complete the form for right of withdrawal and return or have the products returned to LIVAMINA CURCUMINA.
19.4 LIVAMINA CURCUMINA products shall be returned with all relevant accessories, in the original state, in the original packaging, and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by LIVAMINA CURCUMINA.
19.5 The Consumer bears the direct costs and risks of returning the product, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
19.6 The risk and the burden of proof for the correct and timely exercise of the right of withdrawal lie with the Consumer.
19.7 Once LIVAMINA CURCUMINA safely received LIVAMINA CURCUMINA products in good order, will LIVAMINA CURCUMINA process the refund(s). Refunds for returned goods will be made within 14 days of their arrival at the address specified by LIVAMINA CURCUMINA. All refunds will be issued to the original payment method, but can take a couple of days to appear in Consumer’s account.
19.8 LIVAMINA CURCUMINA is only able to process refunds for LIVAMINA CURCUMINA products returned in perfect condition and in their original packaging, with accompanying documentation enclosed and any other items within the box where applicable. Consumer will be obliged to cover any depreciation in the value of LIVAMINA CURCUMINA products if the depreciation is attributable to Consumer’s improper handling of LIVAMINA CURCUMINA products when examining its conditions.
19.9 Consumer will be refunded for the price of LIVAMINA CURCUMINA products, minus a handling fee. Which handling fee will depend on size, weight and location.
19.10 LIVAMINA CURCUMINA will not refund any VAT or import charges. In some cases Consumer may be able to reclaim these costs from their local tax authorities.

20.1 LIVAMINA CURCUMINA will take the greatest possible care when receiving and implementing orders for LIVAMINA CURCUMINA products and/or executing Agreements.
20.2 The place of delivery is deemed to be the address that the Consumer makes known to LIVAMINA CURCUMINA. Delivery shall be deemed completed and the responsibility for LIVAMINA CURCUMINA products will pass to Consumer once LIVAMINA CURCUMINA has had LIVAMINA CURCUMINA products delivered to the address as specified by Consumer.
20.3 LIVAMINA CURCUMINA products are shipped out only on business days (Monday-Friday). LIVAMINA CURCUMINA is not responsible for refunding the cost of shipping due to postal service delays.
20.4 International shipping is only available to certain locations. Consumer is required to make an inquiry at: [email protected], to see if LIVAMINA CURCUMINA ships to Consumers location. Shipping and handling times will vary by location. Please allow 10 to 25 days for your international LIVAMINA CURCUMINA products to be delivered.
20.5 Taking into consideration what was known or should have been known to the Consumer when accepting and offer and thus entering into an Agreement with LIVAMINA CURCUMINA, LIVAMINA CURCUMINA will implement accepted orders with efficient expedition, though at the latest within 30 days after the acceptance of the offer, unless a different period of delivery has been agreed to. If delivery suffers a delay, or if the delivery cannot be implemented, or only partially, the Consumer will be informed about this at the latest 30 days after the order was placed. In this case, the Consumer has a right to terminate the Agreement free of charge. If LIVAMINA CURCUMINA cannot contact Consumer despite LIVAMINA CURCUMINA’s reasonable efforts, or LIVAMINA CURCUMINA cannot arrange (re-)delivery or collection, LIVAMINA CURCUMINA may terminate the Agreement and issue Consumer with a refund but may deduct a reasonable sum in compensation for any net costs incurred by LIVAMINA CURCUMINA as a result.
20.6 Following dissolution in accordance with the previous paragraph, LIVAMINA CURCUMINA refunds Consumer immediately the sum it has paid.

25.2 Consumer will only be entitled to recover direct damages (and thus not delayed, indirect, any special or consequential damages) from LIVAMINA CURCUMINA, being damage directly resulting from the breach of performance. LIVAMINA CURCUMINA is thus not responsible or liable for any other types of damage, like business interruption, service failure, lost profits, sales, business, revenue, opportunity, goodwill, reputation or data, arising and whether caused by tort (including negligence), breach of contract or otherwise, whether or not such loss or damage is foreseeable, foreseen or know by LIVAMINA CURCUMINA. This also means that LIVAMINA CURCUMINA will not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations where that failure or delay results from any cause that is beyond its reasonable control. If such an event arises, LIVAMINA CURCUMINA will inform Consumer as soon as is reasonably possible, and take all reasonable steps to minimise the delay.
25.3 These liability limitations also apply to anyone LIVAMINA CURCUMINA works with to come to and carry out the Agreement from its side.
25.4 Nothing in these GTCs and/or the Agreement shall limit or exclude either party’s liability for: i) death or personal injury resulting from negligence, ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or iii) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by Spanish law.
25.5 The terms of and obligation imposed by this Article shall survive the termination or expiry of the Agreement between LIVAMINA CURCUMINA and Consumer.

Consumer represents and warrants that it controls all rights over the entries at the time they are created and that the content is correct, and that the content does not violate any of the existing LIVAMINA CURCUMINA guidelines and does not harm any physical or legal person (including possible defamation).

The time for providing the Services shall be extended accordingly.
27.3 The failure of LIVAMINA CURCUMINA to enforce at any time any term or condition of these GTCs / Agreement / offer, or to exercise any right or option therein, will not operate as a waiver of such right or any other right under these GTCs / Agreement / offer, nor will any single or partial exercise preclude any other right or option therein; and no waiver whatsoever will be valid unless in writing, signed by LIVAMINA CURCUMINA, and only to the extent described in such writing.
27.4 If any Article and/or Clause of these GTCs / Agreement / offer or part thereof is rendered void, invalid or unenforceable by any legislation to which it is subject, it shall be rendered void, invalid or unenforceable to that extent solely, and it shall in no way affect or prejudice the enforceability of the remainder of such Articles and/or Clauses or the other Articles and/or Clauses of these GTCs / Agreement / offer. LIVAMINA CURCUMINA and Client agree to undertake all reasonable endeavours to replace the void, invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid Article and/or Clause, the effect of which shall be as close as possible to the intended effect of the void, invalid or unenforceable Article and/or Clause.
27.5 Consumer shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations under these GTCs / Agreement / offer without the prior written approval of LIVAMINA CURCUMINA.

In addition, If Consumer disagrees, let LIVAMINA CURCUMINA know at [email protected] within 14 days of receiving them. In the meantime the original conditions will remain in force.

GOVERNING LAW
28.1 Any Agreement between LIVAMINA CURCUMINA and Consumer and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with their Agreement(s), including any disputes between Parties, are exclusively governed by and shall be solely construed in accordance with Spanish law. The CISG is, if applicable, expressly excluded.
COMPLAINTS & PROCEDURE
29.1 A Consumer who has discovered any material defaults in the implementation and/or execution of the Agreement must submit any complaints to LIVAMINA CURCUMINA without delay but ultimately within 7 days after Consumer discovered the defects, in full and with clear descriptions, via email: [email protected] or at the following postal address: LIVAMINA CURCUMINA, Brivibas Gatve 204B, Post Box Nr. 31, LV-1039 Latvia. Please be aware that this is no ‘visiting address’ or ‘place of business’, but solely a postal address.
29.2 Following receipt of a complaint, LIVAMINA CURCUMINA will review and reply in writing as soon as possible. If a complaint requires a foreseeably longer processing time, LIVAMINA CURCUMINA will respond with a notice of receipt and an indication of when the Consumer can expect a more detailed answer.
29.3 The Consumer must in any event grant LIVAMINA CURCUMINA 4 weeks to resolve the complaint in mutual consultation. If the complaint cannot be resolved by mutual agreement within that period, a dispute arises which is subject to the competent dispute settlement procedure in Spain. In case of complaints, a Consumer should thus in any case first turn to LIVAMINA CURCUMINA.
29.4 A complaint does not suspend the obligations of LIVAMINA CURCUMINA, unless LIVAMINA CURCUMINA indicates otherwise in writing.
29.5 If a complaint is found to be justified by LIVAMINA CURCUMINA, LIVAMINA CURCUMINA will, at its discretion, act accordingly.
JURISDICTION (DISPUTES)
30.1 The Complaints Board will only handle a dispute if the Consumer has first submitted its complaint to LIVAMINA CURCUMINA (as above) within a reasonable period. If not resolved the complaint becomes a dispute.
30.2 The dispute must be submitted to the Complaints Board no later than 12 months after the date on which the Consumer first submitted the complaint to LIVAMINA CURCUMINA. This will be done in writing or in another manner to be specified by the board.
30.3 In the event Consumer decides to submit a dispute to the Complaints Board, LIVAMINA CURCUMINA will be bound by this decision. Preferably, the Consumer notifies LIVAMINA CURCUMINA of its intention of submitting the dispute.
30.4 LIVAMINA CURCUMINA is also allowed to submit a dispute to the Complaints Board. However, prior to doing so, LIVAMINA CURCUMINA must notify Consumer of this intention. The Consumer then has five weeks from the date of receipt, to let LIVAMINA CURCUMINA know whether the Consumer also wishes the dispute to be submitted to the Complaints Board or that the dispute be dealt with by the court of competent jurisdiction in this respect (see below). If the Consumer does not reply within five weeks of receipt, LIVAMINA CURCUMINA is entitled to submit the dispute to the court of competent jurisdiction (see below).
30.5 If submitted to the Complaints Board, the Complaints Board will issue a ruling under the conditions as specified in the regulations of the Complaints Board. The decisions of the Complaints Board take the form of binding advice.
30.6 The Complaints Board will not handle a dispute and/or will discontinue its handling, if LIVAMINA CURCUMINA is granted a suspension of payment, is declared bankrupt, or has actually ceased its business activities before a dispute is handled at a meeting of the board and a final ruling has been issued.
30.7 Any disputes that may arise in connection with the Agreement between LIVAMINA CURCUMINA and Consumer, not subjected to the Complaints Board as above, are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent court in Spain.
