No other use for these items in any way is either intended or condoned by you or Grasscity Shop.
Unless otherwise specified by Grasscity Shop, all offers made by Grasscity Shop are without commitment until you have received confirmation of your order from Grasscity Shop, by which the agreement between you and Grasscity Shop for the purchase of a product (“Agreement”) is concluded. Neither manifest errors nor minor misstatements in the information concerning the products on the Website, including the images, bind Grasscity Shop.
You declare that you are aware of the technical steps leading to the conclusion of the Agreement, whether the Agreement shall be archived and is accessible, and the languages in which the Agreement can be drawn up.

Article 5 - Delivery and shipping info
The products purchased by you on the Website are delivered to the address specified by you for that purpose. Delivery will be made only after your payment has been received unless you have opted for payment in arrears.

The costs of redelivery of the products ordered by you will be at your expense.
In case Grasscity Shop is not able to deliver the product(s) within 30 (thirty) days, Grasscity Shop shall inform you immediately in writing in which case you are entitled to terminate the Agreement by notifying such in writing to Grasscity Shop. Grasscity Shop will repay the amount paid by you into an account specified by you within 14 days at the latest, without incurring any other or further liability.
If any product ordered by you is not or no longer available, Grasscity Shop will be entitled to ship an alternative product that does not deviate substantially from the ordered product. Grasscity Shop will notify you of that fact as soon as feasible, but at any rate upon delivery of the product.
The alternative product is of at least equal quality and price and, to the extent possible, has the same features as the ordered product. If no alternative product is available or deliverable, Grasscity Shop will repay the amount paid by you into an account specified by you within 30 (thirty) days at the latest, without incurring any other or further liability.
Ownership of the ordered products shall not pass from Grasscity Shop to you until you have fully paid the agreed total amount in accordance with article 4 above.
You acknowledge that products ordered by you may be confiscated by customs. Such event falls outside of Grasscity Shop’s sphere of influence and Grasscity cannot make any guarantees in that regard. If such is the case Grasscity Shop will not refund any payments to you.
Article 6 - Returns and Complaints
Right of withdrawal
You have the right to withdraw from the contract within a period of 14 days without giving reasons.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery but excluding the costs associated with returns, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back.
You shall send back the products, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The costs of the return shipment will be at your expense, unless the return shipment involved an alternative product within the meaning of article 5. You bare the risk during this transportation. In the event payments have already been made, Grasscity Shop shall, after receiving the products concerned, refund the money of this Agreement – including shipment costs – to you within 14 days.
You shall handle ordered products with due care during the withdrawal period. You may only unpack and use the ordered products to be able and to the extent necessary to determine the nature, characteristics and functioning of the products. As a rule of thumb, you may only use and inspect the products as you would in the shop.
The obligations of Grasscity Shop referred to in this article will not be applicable in the event that the defect to a product has been fully or partially caused by any incorrect, improper, careless or incompetent use and/or if you have made any modifications to the products.
