If any difficulties arise for the supply of the products or no products are available in stock, JG Photo Store undertakes to contact the User and reimburse any amounts which may have been credited as payment. This will be equally applicable to the cases where the provision of a service becomes unfeasible.

Shipping expenses are included in the final prices of the products, as shown in the Website. Thus, JG Photo Store carries out the delivery and/or shipping services via file downloads.

In any case, by clicking on “Checkout”, the User confirms that the means of payment used is his/hers.

  1. DELIVERY

For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, delivery will be deemed to have been completed or the order has been delivered at the time when the download of the files is completed by the User.

Risks that may arise from the products will be borne by the User as of product delivery. User acquires the ownership of the products when JG Photo Store receives full payment of all amounts owed in relation to the purchase or acquisition made, or at the time of delivery, if this takes place at a time following full receipt of the payment amount by JG Photo Store.

Pursuant to the provisions set forth in Law 37/1992, dated 28 December, on the Value Added Tax (VAT), purchase orders, for their delivery and/or provision, will be deemed to be localized in the territory where the Spanish VAT is applicable if the delivery address is within the Spanish territory except for Canarias, Ceuta and Melilla. The applicable VAT type will be the one legally in force at each time, based on the specific item involved.

In this same sense, and pursuant to Chapter I, Title V of Directive 2006/112 of the Council dated 28 November 2006, related to the VAT common system, purchase orders will be localized, for their delivery and/or provision, in such member State of the European Union as the address appearing in the purchase order and, therefore, the applicable VAT will be the one in force in such member State.

For orders destined to Canarias, Ceuta and Melilla, deliveries will be exempted from the VAT by applying the provisions set forth in Law 37/1992 and Directive 2006/112, without prejudice to the application of the corresponding taxes and import tariffs pursuant to the regulations in force in each one of these territories. Users must be aware that situations may arise in these territories whereby taxes and custom duties are applied and accrued at destination, pursuant to the regulations in force, and that these could be borne by the User.

For all other locations, other than the above, where purchase orders may be located for their delivery and/or provision, the regulations in force at each moment will be applied; Users should bear in mind that this could lead to the application and accrual of taxes and custom duties at destination, pursuant to the regulations in force at the destination, and that these could be borne by the User. For additional information, Users should contact the customs office at destination.

  1. TECHNICAL MEANS FOR CORRECTING MISTAKES

Users are advised that in case a mistake is detected after introducing the necessary information to process purchase requests in the Website, Users may modify them by contacting JG Photo Store through the contact links enabled in the Website, and, where appropriate, through contact options enabled to contact customer service, and/or by using the contact information provided in clause one (General information).

  1. REFUNDS

In the cases where a User were to acquire products in or through the titleholder’s Website, he/she is entitled to a series of rights, as listed and described here below:

Right of Withdrawal

Users, as consumers and users, make a purchase at the Website and, therefore are entitled to the right to withdraw that purchase. Nevertheless, they acknowledge being aware of the existence of exceptions to the right of withdrawal, such as those stated in article 103 of the Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007, dated 16 November, whereby approval is given to the combined text of the General Law for the Defense of Consumers and Users and other complementary laws. The provision of a service that the User could contract in this Website is likewise governed thereby, since this same Law states that there will not be a Right of Withdrawal for the Users when the provision of the service has been completely performed, or when it has begun with the explicit consent of the consumer and user, and by acknowledging that he/she is aware that, once the contract has been fully executed by JG Photo Store, he/she will have waived his/her right of withdrawal.

Return of defective products or delivery mistake

This involves all those cases where the User believes that, at the time of delivery, the product does not meet the conditions set forth in the contract or purchase order, and that, therefore, he/she shall immediately contact JG Photo Store and inform about the existing non-conformity (defect/mistake) through the same means or by using the contact information provided in the preceding paragraph (Right of Withdrawal).

The User will then be informed about how to proceed to return the products, and once returned, these will be examined, and the User will be informed, within a reasonable time, if a reimbursement is applicable or, where appropriate, they will be replaced.

Reimbursement for or replacement of the product will be carried out as soon as possible and, in any case, within 14 days after the date on which we send an e-mail confirming that the reimbursement or the replacement of the non-conforming item is applicable.

The amount paid for those products that are returned because of a defect, when it does exist, will be reimbursed in full, including delivery expenses and costs incurred by the User to return the item(s). Reimbursements will be made through the same means of payment used by the User to pay for the purchase.

In any case, the rights recognized for the User as consumer and user in the legislation in force will always prevail.

Guarantees

Users, as consumers and users, are entitled to guarantees for the products they may acquire through this Website, in the terms legally set forth for each kind of product, and therefore JG Photo Store is responsible for the non-conformity of same when stated within two years after the delivery of the product.

In this sense, it is understood that the products are in conformity with the contract provided that: they meet the description made by JG Photo Store and have the qualities presented therein; are fit for the uses to which products of the same type are usually destined; and feature the usual quality and performance for a product of the same type and which may essentially be expected thereof. When this is not so regarding the products delivered to the User, he/she shall proceed as outlined in the paragraph on Return of defective products or delivery mistake. However, some of the products marketed in the Website could present features that are not homogeneous, provided these arise because of the kind of material with which they have been made, and therefore will be part of the individual appearance of the product, and will not be a defect.

On the other hand, there could be the case where the User acquires a product with a third-party brand or a product made by a third party, in the Website. In this case, and if the User considers that the product is defective, he/she also has the chance to contact the brand or manufacturer responsible for the product to inquire how to directly exercise his/her legal right to the guarantee before them during the two years following the delivery of said products. For that purpose, the User must have kept all the information related to the product’s guarantee.
