In exceptional circumstances, we reserve the right to partially or completely withdraw from the contract, i.e. if the ordered products run out, cannot be shipped within a reasonable period of time or if the online price is lower than the actual price.
Regular prices are prices, set by the provider herself or are specified by the supplier. Published item prices do not include shipping or shipping costs.

The contractual partners Pošta Slovenije and DHL Express carry out the delivery of goods.
In the online store, you have the option to choose a different delivery address, such as the payment address. This way, we allow the customer to have goods sent to the address where he/she can be reached in the morning, as delivery is usually carried out at that time of day. Also, the customer can apply this option when he/she wants to send products to another person, but pay for them him/herself. In the latter case, we offer the use of advance payment.
In Slovenia, you shall receive the ordered goods by the delivery service called Pošta Slovenije, in accordance to the price list of the delivery service provider.

The provider sends them in the shortest possible time, mostly within three (3) working days or no later that ten (10) working days from the date of receipt of the order. Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays are not listed as working days. In addition to the goods, the customer also receives an invoice.

The warranty is valid, if the instructions on the warranty certificate are strictly followed and if the invoice is properly submitted to the provider. Warranty information is also listed in the Item description page section. If the warranty information is missing, the item has no warranty, or the data is not available at this particular time. In the latter case, the customer can contact the provider who shall provide up-to-date information. The warranty applies only to “hidden” errors that arise without the customer’s influence. The warranty does not apply, if the provider determines that mechanical damage or contact with the liquid has occurred. In case service or repair is not possible, the product is replaced with a new one. Defective parts shall be repaired after the product is returned to the company.
Right of withdrawal
In the case of small traders, the customer under EU Law does not have the right to return the goods (replacement or refund) unless the product is defective.

Within 14 days of the receipt of goods, you can contact the provider in accordance with the Consumer Protection Act (ZVPot) via the following e-mail: info@hi-official.com to withdraw from the contract or purchase order, without specifying the reason for such decision; but only if the product is unsealed, enclosed in the original packaging, which is not damaged and – of course – not used. If you were to share the reason of your withdrawal, we would be extremely grateful, as we strive to resolve any possible errors immediately. The only cost charged to the customer in relation to the withdrawal of the contract, is the direct cost of returning the goods (the cost of the postage is paid by the customer). The goods must be returned to the provider no later than 14 days from the receipt of the ordered goods. We recommend you notify us via e-mail address or call our phone number before returning the goods so we can discuss the proper repayment method.

If the consumer has already received the goods and later withdraws from the contract, he/she must return or deliver the goods to the company or the person authorised by the company to receive the goods, without delay or at the latest 14 days after the receipt of the goods, unless the company officials offer to retrieve the goods themselves.

The material is considered defected, if:
– the item does not possess the characteristics necessary for its normal use or transport;
– the item does not possess the characteristics necessary for the specific use it was meant for, but the faults were or should have been known to the provider;

The consumer must accurately describe the material defect in the error notice and allow the provider to inspect the item.
The costumer can communicate the error notification to the provider personally and the provider must issue a proper certificate, or send the customer to the store where the item was purchased or to the provider’s representative with whom the customer entered into contract.
The provider assumes responsibility only for defective goods which appear not later than two years since they were delivered.
If a second-hand item is the subject matter of the contract between the provider and the costumer, the provider only assumes responsibility for the material defects on the goods, which appear no later than one year since they were delivered. The material defect is considered to have already existed at the time of delivery, if it occurs within six months of delivery. Article 37 C
