3. Subject and purpose of this agreement; condition of the subject of this agreement; customer’s duty to cooperate

3.1. Subject of the Agreement

The subject of the agreement consists of the products, performance of work and services provided by Crystal-Iced.com as specified within the framework of the ordering process and named in the (electronic or written) confirmation of the order, at the final prices stated therein (inclusive of tax, cost of post and packing, and other components of the price).

The decoration of the products, such as mobile phone, tablet, laptop and MP3 player cases shall be in the form of small pieces of jewellery, in particular small crystals, e.g. Crystals from Swarovski, permanently attached by adhesive to cover much of the surface of cases provided by Crystal-Iced.com or the customer.

3.2. Condition of the subject of the agreement

The method of decoration described above can result in individual stones breaking off, especially at certain exposed places such as corners, edges and projecting parts (e.g. antennae, certain keys) if the decorated product is subjected to considerable mechanical stress, for example if it falls onto or strikes hard surfaces or objects. It is in the nature of the products and work provided by Crystal Iced that the decorated surfaces thereby produced are less resistant to impact or shock or other substantial mechanical stresses than the original surface of the product purchased or supplied for subsequent decoration.

Decoration of the products by Crystal Iced may possibly lead to the termination or invalidity of guarantees by the respective manufacturer of that product. For this reason we now supply designs onto cases to avoid this.

These limitations form part of the agreed condition of the products and work provided by Crystal-Iced.com and do not represent a defect or any other defective performance on the part of Crystal-Iced.com

3.3. These items are not toys

The products decorated by Crystal-Iced.com are not toys and are unsuitable for children of any age. In particular the possibility cannot be ruled out that small pieces of the decorated surface may break off when the items are handled by children, who could swallow them.

3.4. Illustrations, especially on the Crystal Iced website(s)

For technical reasons the illustrations or our products and the work performed, as shown on our website, together with other such illustrations, can only provide an approximate representation. In particular colours may differ considerably from those of the actual items, which may also be due to the individual settings of the customer’s computer and monitor, and, because of the use of crystals for decoration, to the particular lighting (daylight, artificial lighting etc.).

Such deviations do not constitute defects in the products or the work performed.

3.5 The customer’s duty to cooperate

If Crystal Iced receives an order to decorate the customer’s products, the customer shall, at your own expense and risk, dispatch the product(s) to be decorated to Crystal Iced at the following address:

Crystal Iced
423 Whalley Old Road
Blackburn
Lancashire, BB1 5QL
UK

sales@crystal-iced.com

Crystal Iced recommends taking out adequate insurance cover for the consignment.

The customer agrees not to obstruct the activities of Crystal Iced and, if necessary, to cooperate with Crystal Iced in completing the agreement.

5.2 Consequences of cancellation:

In the event of an effective cancellation anything that has been received by either party in performance of the agreement shall be restored (and, if applicable, any benefits obtained, e.g. interest, shall be surrendered). If you are unable to restore to us anything received in performance of the agreement in its entirety, or if you are only able to restore it in part, or in a worse condition, you shall be obliged to provide us with compensation for lost value, if applicable.

If items have been assigned, this shall not apply if the worsening in the condition of the item is attributable solely to its examination, as might occur in a shop. In other respects you can avoid the obligation to provide compensation for lost value by not treating the item as if it were your own property and by avoiding anything that would detract from its value.

Items which can be dispatched as a package should be sent back in such packaging.

You are requested – although this is not a prerequisite for the exercise of your right of cancellation – to use the product and transport packaging supplied by us, or to package the product in some other suitable way. The item is your responsibility until it reaches us. For your own protection, we recommend that you send the parcel using a delivery service that insures you for the value of the goods.

The cost of returning the item to us is your responsibility. Goods which cannot be packaged will be collected from you. The parcel can take up to 7 working days to be returned to us, unless sent via special delivery.

You must meet any obligations for the reimbursement of payments within 14 days after the delivery and of your cancellation statement.

5.3 Miscellaneous:

If the subject of the agreement consists in part or in its entirety of a service, your cancellation rights are terminated prematurely if we, with your express approval, have already commenced to provide the service before the end of the cancellation period, or if this has been arranged by you.

If this agreement has been financed by means of a loan and you cancel the finance agreement, you are no longer bound by the loan agreement if both of these agreements form single economic entity. This can be assumed in particular if we are at the same time the providers of your loan or if your lender makes use of our involvement with regard to the financing arrangement. If we have already received the loan at the time that the cancellation or return takes effect, you can apply not only to us regarding the arrangements for its return but also to your lender. The latter shall not apply if such an agreement is intended for the purchase of securities, foreign exchange, derivatives or precious metals.

It is in the nature of the products and work performed by Crystal-Iced that the decorated surfaces thereby produced are less resistant to impact or shock or other substantial mechanical stresses than the original surface of the product purchased or supplied for subsequent decoration. Moreover decoration of the products by Crystal-Iced may possibly lead to the termination or invalidity of the product warranty provided by the respective manufacturer of that product. Furthermore the decoration may cause minor functional impairments compared with similar, undecorated products. Finally, the appearance of the colours of the decorated surfaces may vary, especially when they are exposed to different light sources, and may deviate from illustrations, particularly those on the internet (for all these aspects see above, III).

These limitations form part of the agreed condition of the products and work performed by Crystal-Iced and do not represent a defect or any other defective performance on the part of Crystal-Iced.

If there is a technical/functional fault with any brand new electrical product purchased from Crystal-Iced.com, it must be reported within 7 working days of receipt. Any faults out of the 7 day period will be repaired by the manufacturer as the product will be covered by warranty for upto at least 1 year from the date of purchase.

We will not be liable to you for any loss of profits, administrative inconvenience, disappointment, indirect or consequential loss or damage arising out of any problem in relation to the products.

In any cases, we shall have no liability to pay any money to you by way of compensation other than any refund we make under these conditions. This does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer, nor is it intended to exclude our liability to you for fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence.

The following restrictions on liability apply in the case of work performed by Crystal-Iced (decoration of customers’ products):

* The customer is required to accept the decoration/work performed within 7 days following receipt of the product or to let us know if defects exist which are not merely of a minor nature. Upon expiry of this period the work performed shall be deemed to have been accepted, provided that Crystal-Iced has advised the customer at the commencement of this period about the significance of allowing this deadline to expire. This does not affect claims by the customer under warranty for defects.
* Claims for damages for defective performance of work (decorations of the item) or other inadequate performance of the work (decorations of the item) is limited to 1 year following acceptance of the particular performance of work; this does not apply to damages arising from mortal or physical injury or impairment of health or to damages arising from the violation of cardinal duties/essential contractual obligations.

In all other respects the statutory warranty, liability and limitation regulations and periods apply.
