2. Description of Service/Product

Through this website we provide general information about the company’s products and services and we also provide you with the possibility of purchasing our products online. All products purchased online shall be delivered to the address indicated by you.

3. Price

Any online purchases on this website shall be charged at the price advertised on this website at the date the order is placed. All prices shown on the website are indicated in Euro and are inclusive of VAT.

While we try and ensure that all prices on our website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of goods you have ordered we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and you have already paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund.

4. Delivery Costs

Delivery costs shall be clearly indicated where applicable.

Delivery costs are based on shipper’s rates, and are subject to change. All delivery costs, if any, are calculated at checkout.

5. Payment Method and Security

All online purchases shall only be accepted against payment by credit/debit card or Paypal.

Your card details are received and processed directly by our payment gateway (PSP), the APCOpay Payment Gateway; your card details are transmitted from you to the payment gateway (PSP) encrypted over high-strength SSL for maximum protection and confidentially. Forestals Investments does not at any point handle the card information.

For additional security, your three digit security code found at the back of your card is never stored by the payment gateway (CVV/CVC2). Without this number, additional transactions attempted on your card, without your authorization, would be rejected.

The payment gateway (PSP) is licensed and authorized by Visa, MasterCard and other card associations to act as a payment gateway and is fully audited and compliant with the Payment Card Industry Security Standards.

You undertake and agree to provide correct details to Forestals Investments for the purpose of ordering or purchasing goods from this website.

You also undertake that the credit or debit card you are using is your own and that there are sufficient funds to cover the cost of the goods or services ordered.

It is a crime to use a false name or a known invalid credit card to order. Anyone caught wilfully entering an erroneous or fictitious order will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

6. Communication

You agree that e-mail (and other means of electronic communication such as notices on the site) can be used as a long-distance means of communication.

7. Conclusion of the Contract

The electronic contract between you and us shall be concluded as soon as you have received our electronic acknowledgment, hereby referred to as a confirmatory email, of your order. This confirmatory e-mail will contain all relevant statutory information concerning your contract.

The confirmatory e-mail will also contain a link to these Terms & Conditions.

You must check that the details on this confirmatory e-mail are correct as soon as possible and you should print out and keep a copy of it.

All transactions/orders carried out on this website are concluded in English.

8. Delivery / Title / Risk

Forestals Investments aims to arrange delivery/shipment of all ‘in stock’ items within a reasonable time, and in any case not later than thirty (30) days from the conclusion of the contract.

Some items may be unavailable and the current stock status is approximate. In the case that items ordered are unavailable Forestals Investments will inform you of this before the conclusion of the contract. Forestals Investments is not able to supply dates its suppliers may get an item in stock.

The period stated within which you will receive your order is approximate. Goods will be sent to the address given by you in your order and stated in the order confirmation. Please note that your goods may be sent to you in instalments. You may cancel your entire order with us if subsequent instalments forming part of your order are not delivered by us.

Forestals Investments only deliver to countries within Europe. If your delivery address is outside of Malta, you may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once a shipment reaches your country. Any such additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you. You should note that customs policies vary widely from country to country; Forestals Investments advises each customer to contact their local customs office for further information. It is your responsibility to ensure that items you have ordered will pass through all customs and access points in your country.

Please note that when shipping products internationally, you should be aware that cross-border shipments are subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities.

Once delivery has been made to your door you are solely responsible for them. A signature is required upon delivery.

Should you choose and arrange the method of delivery, this shall be at your own risk.

By placing your order with us, you are authorising us to accept a signature from another person on your behalf at your delivery address if you are not present at the time of delivery. Under exceptional circumstances, you may be able to give instruction explaining if and where you would like your order to be left if no one is expected to be present at the time of delivery, such as with a neighbour.

You must inspect all items and confirm on the delivery document if there are any shortages or damages. If there are any missing parts or damages you may inform the delivery person who will make a note on the delivery document. If however, you notice that the product is damaged after delivery has been made, without prejudice to your statutory rights, you are to notify us within 48 hours of the delivery being made. Such notice must be made by email and you must attach photos of the damages goods.

For Christmas Deliveries, we recommend that you order by the 18th December. We will endeavour to dispatch all ‘in stock’ orders within 1-2 working days, however we cannot guarantee delivery on or before the 24th December as the post may be delayed in your area.

9. Cancellations / Return Policy

You have the right to cancel your order at any time prior to your order being processed by clicking on the ‘cancel’ link next to the product ordered on the website. We can also accept cancellations by phoning (356) 2343 6000 during the following office hours:

Monday to Friday 8:00am - 1:00pm; 2:00pm – 5:00pm

You will be liable for any applicable bank charges when cancelling your order. Cancellation of order can be done for any reason within 14 calendar days from the date of delivery of the good/s. We will offer you a full refund for the good(s) purchased.

You might cancel the purchase:

• by sending the notice of cancellation by email to info@forestals.com ensuring that you quote your name, address and order reference number; or

• where you have already received the goods, returning the goods to Forestals Investments unopened together with the original invoice. We will refund you the purchase price of the goods (less any applicable bank charges).

• by filling the Model Withdrawal Form

If your order has not been dispatched we will cancel the order and we will refund your payment. If your order has been dispatched to you and we are unable to stop the delivery, you can refuse to sign for the delivery so that your order is returned to us and we will refund your payment in full. If you exercise your right to return the good/s after they have been delivered to you, you can either arrange to return the goods to us at your own cost or we can arrange re-collection of the order for a fee. This charge would be deducted from your refund. In any case that you have chosen to return the good/s to us yourself, you are to return the good/s within fourteen (14) days.

You have a duty of care to ensure that items are not damaged whilst in your possession. All items must be returned to us in the same condition they were in on delivery and you shall be liable for any diminished value of the goods. We would also ask that they be returned with their original packaging or similar to avoid damage on their return journey. We reserve the right to withhold all or part of your refund if items are returned damaged.

We will then provide you with a refund within fourteen (14) days of recollection of your order, or should you return the good/s to us yourself, we may withhold the reimbursement until we have received the good/s back, or until you have supplied us with evidence of having sent back the good/s, whichever is the earliest. All relevant delivery charges shall be borne by the customer.

Forestals Investments reserves the right to refuse to accept your request for order for any reason. If we decide to cancel your order we will notify you as soon as possible and we will refund to you any sum paid by you to us in respect of the order within 14 days of the cancellation of your order. We will not be obliged to offer any additional compensation.

Unfortunately the right to cancellation shall not apply in the case that the good/s you have ordered fall within the below exceptions:

• the supply of sealed audio or sealed video recordings or sealed computer software which were unsealed after delivery; and

• the supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium if the performance has begun with the prior express consent of the consumer and his acknowledgment that he thereby loses his right of withdrawal.

10. Refund of Faulty Items

If you have any problems with your purchase we will be happy to offer help and assistance. Please contact us for assistance.

In the unlikely event that you receive goods which were not what you ordered we shall make good for any shortage, non-delivery, or replacement.

If you inform us that your product is damaged or defective, or are of a different quantity to that stated on your order form and we accept this, we can arrange for a replacement or for the item to be repaired at no extra cost to you. It is up to us to decide whether to repair or replace the item. In the case that the item cannot be repaired or replaced, we will provide you with a full refund.

You are to inform us within two (2) months from when you notice such defect and you will be required to send a copy of the invoice which accompanied delivery. Failure to show that you have purchased the item from us may result in the refusal of exchange or in the repair becoming chargeable. This is in line with your statutory rights which are to remain in force for a period of two (2) years.

We will be able to replace an item depending on our stock and the repair time may vary. We will not accept any claims for losses you suffer during this time or any other incidental or consequential damages you may suffer.
