General Terms and conditions
1. Purpose
These General Terms and Conditions determine the contractual relationship between the company Santi-shop S.àr.l. and its customers. These conditions are based on the Luxembourg "Consumer Code, law dated April 8, 2011.
Placing an order on Santi-shop implies the acceptance by the client of the conditions set out in this document.
In case of difference between this document and the French version of the "General Terms and Conditions", the French version prevails.
2. Price
Prices are displayed with tax (VAT) included and rounded to two decimals. If you are eligible to purchase without VAT and have logged on under your name, the prices are displayed without tax.
Base prices are denominated in Euro and billing is always done in Euro. If you chose another currency, all prices become purely indicative. They are based on the exchange rate of the day, rate that can slightly differ from the one your bank will use to debit your account.
Les Shipping costs appear during checkout process and before its finalization.

The products remain the property of Santi-shop S.àr.l. until full payment is received. At no time could paid amounts be regarded as down payments or instalments.
3. Payment
All orders are payable in Euros. Options, depending on the country, are:
-
Secure online payment through credit cards (VISA, MASTERCARD)
-
Secure payment by smartphone/tablet with the Digicash-app

Cash (exact amount); solely for the option "Pick up by the customer"
Your credit card will be charged the day your order is shipped or the day before and not at order time. At order time, the validity of the card is verified and the coverage check is performed. The amount is booked by your bank until actual payment.
The Digicash app allows you to make a bank transfer from your account to the one of Santi-shop in a safe and very simple way. When ordering, at checkout stage, Santi-shop generates on your computer screen a Digicash QR Code which contains all the details of your invoice.

The Digicash app for smartphone is currently only available by Luxembourg banks. You would like to be able to use it? Then propose it to your bank or open an bank account in Luxembourg with a bank partner with Digicash.
When making a bank transfer from a country that belongs to SEPA (Single European Payment Area), please choose the option "shared charges (SHA)". To pay by bank transfer from a non-SEPA country, please contactSanti-shop. Your order will be considered upon receipt of the exact amount invoiced.

If some products are missing but can be made available within 10 working days, the order will be sent as soon as missing products become available. If some products are missing but cannot be obtained within 10 working days, the order will be sent without them and their value added to the client's voucher's account.
Payment on delivery and cheques are not accepted (to high bank charges ).
4. Secure payments
We chose the e-payment solution PayPlug that supports secure Internet payments by credit card. All the processing of financial transaction takes place on "PayPlug servers and do not transit through our website. This ensures complete safety. Santi-shop S.àr.l. can neither know nor store at any time the data of your credit card.
PayPlug checks the validity and coverage of your card and notify you of acceptance or rejection of the transaction. If accepted, the order is confirmed. In case of refusal (card refused, data input error…), the system returns you to a page on Santi-shop that proposes you three options: try another card-payment, chose another payment method, cancel the order.
Dubious orders will be taken through a special procedure to avoid credit card fraudulent use or other type of fraud.
5. Product availability
The system warns you if you want to order a product in an amount greater than that available in stock. This enables you not to order more than the amount available and avoid having to wait for delivery.
Some suppliers delivering more regularly than others, you are free to order their products in an amount greater than that available in stock. In such a case the total order will be sent upon receipt of the missing items and that, in general, within two weeks after receiving your payment. (This is only possible outside the annual closure periods of our suppliers.)
In case of unavailability of a product, especially because of the supplier, you will be informed at the earliest, by email, and your order will be modified by us to reflect the exact quantity of each product. If you paid by bank transfer, the excess amount will be put on your voucher's account or, upon request, refunded. If you paid by credit card, only the correct amount will be charged.
To avoid errors the maximum amount that can be ordered at once is 25 units per item. If you want to order more than 25 units of an item, please send us an e-mail.
6. Order
