TERMS OF PURCHASE

1. General

ALATO Watches only enter into contracts with an adult (18 years old). If you are a minor, a guardian's permission is required. Agreements are concluded only in Swedish and we only deliver within Sweden. An agreement is concluded when you choose to send an order at checkout. VAT is included in all purchases within the European Union. However, VAT, additional duties, import taxes, customs or brokerage fees may be subjected to all non-European Union orders upon delivery. Contact your local customs office for more information.

We reserve the right to in the event of obvious errors, e.g. price or printing error to correct the error afterwards. If you are not satisfied with our correction, you can of course cancel your order free of charge. We also reserve the right not to carry out an order if, for example, the product is out of stock or in case of technical problems. If you want to correct your order after order, we can only do this before your order has left our warehouse. All goods remain the property of ALATO Watches until full payment has been received by the company. ALATO Watches reserves the right to cancel a purchase if fraud is suspected. Product(s) that are included free of charge in connection with the purchase of other goods must also be sent back in connection with a return. The product included in the purchase will otherwise be charged for its full value. Example: you buy a watch for SEK 1,999 where the purchase includes a free watch box, value SEK 399. You return the watch but not the watch box, so we will refund you SEK 1,600.


2. Delivery

All orders are delivered free of charge. For specific areas, additional delivery options with shipping charges may be shown as available. The latter delivery option requires an active choice at checkout. Sometimes it happens that one of the goods you ordered is not in stock and is listed as remaining, i.e. we reserve ourselves for final sales. If your order cannot be shipped on time, you have the right to cancel your purchase. If your package and/or contents are damaged in transit when you receive them, report it to our customer service without delay. If packages are lost during transport, you must notify our customer service within a reasonable time (2 months). ALATO Watches sends an order confirmation to the email address you provided before we send the goods to you.


Mode of delivery:

Home delivery :
We want it to be as smooth as possible for our customers. Therefore, all our shipments are sent as home deliveries. Depending on who or what product you bought, we use different agents. The main agent types used are PostNord, CityMail (Formerly Bring), CJ Packet Ordinary, CJPacket Sensitive and DHL Express. Other proxy options may occur. PostNord delivers primarily to your mailbox, secondarily to a delivery agent. Notification takes place by SMS or letter. CityMail delivers primarily to the letterbox, secondarily outside your door and ultimately to a DHL agent. CityMail notifies you by SMS if the correct number has been provided. DHL delivers primarily to your door and requires a signature, secondarily to a DHL representative for collection.

If the shipment cannot be delivered, the package will be returned to ALATO Watches and handled as a return order. We then reserve the right to invoice you SEK 299 for the cost incurred due to non-receipt or incorrectly entered address.
We reserve the right to make ongoing adjustments to the service's availability and delivery time.

*Please note international customers outside Sweden and EU could be charged import tax and/or custom dutys when importing in their country. Any such costs are not included in the pricing on this website, and is therefore up to the buyer to pay.

Cash on delivery :
We do not offer cash on delivery.

If you do not want the goods delivered to your registered address, please use another payment option. No invoicing fee is added (SEK 0). Payment terms 14 days.

If you do not have this, you can easily register one at the time of purchase. The goods are sent immediately after payment and no extra fee is charged.


4. Right of returns

You have the right of cancellation (return) within 14 days of receiving the item. When returning goods that have been handled to a greater extent than was necessary to determine the goods' properties and function, the consumer compensates us for the possible reduction in value that has occurred. The extent of the reduction in value is determined unilaterally by ALATO Watches. The right of withdrawal can be used provided that the product is returned together with the labels and original packaging/box that comes with the product. As a customer, you have the right to examine the product. For cases where the associated case, packaging, information folder and certificate of authenticity are not included when exercising the right of withdrawal, ALATO Watches has the right to refuse the return.
The right of cancellation does not apply to pre-ordered items. In exceptional cases, at the sole discretion of ALATO Watches, the right of cancellation may be extended to pre-ordered items. In such cases, an administrative fee of 10% of the item's value will be charged. Please contact us if you wish to cancel a pre-order, and we will work with you to find a solution for your situation.

KICKSTARTER PLEDGES
All pre-orders made outside of www.alato.se (ie. Kickstarter) will NOT be eligible for refund or exchange unless there is a manufacturer's defect. Profit margins set via any of our crowdfunding campaigns are razor thin as well as being a 'custom order' placed with our manufacturer on your behalf, therefore we will be unable to process returns and refunds simply because you changed your mind. We are a small company that stands behind our products, but we reserve the right to refuse any return not due to defect.

Return :
You can return your goods to ALATO Watches within 14 days and get your money back if you regret it. You as the customer are responsible for the return cost. The cancellation period begins on the day you received your order. Contact our customer service if you have regretted further handling. All returned goods must be carefully packaged to avoid damage to the goods. You as the customer are responsible for the transport risk back to ALATO Watches.

Complaint :
If you complain about your product due to damage or faulty production, we will make a manual assessment and possibly request the product if necessary. Normal right of complaint is usually three (3) years, a detected fault on a product must be reported to us within a reasonable time, that is, as soon as it was discovered or should have been discovered. This is considered to be within two (2) months of receipt of the item. Defects that are discovered within six months after the goods have been delivered are assumed to have been present at the time of delivery unless otherwise indicated. If the fault only becomes apparent later, you as a consumer must be able to prove that the fault already existed upon delivery, that is to say that it was an original fault with the product. The first commitment in the event of a complaint is to rectify the fault. If this does not work and the complaint is approved, we will replace you with a new product. If we are unable to replace you with a similar item, you have the right to cancel the purchase and have the money refunded. Reimbursement normally takes place within 14 working days from the time we receive and approve your return. We can only make a refund in the same way and to the same account that was used at the time of purchase. If you want to cancel your contract (purchase) with us and instead use the Swedish Consumer Agency's cancellation form, you will find it here (PDF).
