4. AVAILABILITY
All purchase orders received by MALLAFRÉ via the Website are subject to product availability and/or any circumstances or causes of force majeure (please see Clause 9 of these Terms and Conditions) that may affect the supply of the products and/or services. If there are any difficulties in supplying products or there are no products left in stock, MALLAFRÉ will contact you and refund any sum(s) you have paid. This shall also apply in cases where providing a service becomes unfeasible.
5. PRICES AND PAYMENT
The prices displayed on the Website are the final prices, in euros (€), including taxes, unless otherwise stated and applied, due to a legal requirement - in particular in relation to VAT.
Shipping costs are included in the final prices of the products displayed on the Website. MALLAFRÉ fulfils delivery and/or shipping services through: DHL
The Website will not automatically add additional costs to the price of a product or service, except for those that the User has voluntarily and freely selected and chosen.
Prices are subject to change at any time. However, changes will not affect orders or purchases for which the User has already received an order confirmation.
Accepted forms of payment are: credit or debit card, via the relevant payment gateway, and bank transfer.
MALLAFRÉ employs all measures to ensure the confidentiality and security of payment details you send as part of transactions made via the Website. As such, the Website uses a secure SSL (Secure Socket Layer) payment system.
Credit cards are subject to verification and authorisation by the issuing bank. In the event that the bank does not authorise the payment, MALLAFRÉ shall not be responsible for any delay or non-delivery and will be unable to confirm the transaction.
In all circumstances, by clicking on "Proceed to checkout" you confirm that the payment method used is your own or, if applicable, that you are the lawful holder of the payment card.
6. DELIVERY
Where the physical delivery of the agreed goods is applicable, deliveries shall be made within the following territory: European Union (EU).
Except in unforeseen or extraordinary circumstances, the purchase order consisting of the products listed in the purchase confirmation shall be delivered within the period stated on the Website, depending on the shipping method you select - and, in any case, within a maximum of 7 calendar days from the date the order is confirmed.
If, due to any reason attributable to MALLAFRÉ, we are unable to meet the delivery date, we will contact you to notify you of this and you will have the option of proceeding with the purchase and setting a new delivery date or cancelling the order, with a full refund of the price paid. In all cases, home deliveries are made on work days.
If it is impossible to deliver the order due to the User not being there, it may be returned to the warehouse. However, in this case the delivery company would leave a note explaining where the order is located and how to arrange for it to be sent out for delivery again.
If you are not going to be at the place of delivery at the agreed time, you will need to contact MALLAFRÉ to agree another day.
If, 30 days after your order has been available for delivery, it has not been delivered for reasons not attributable to DHL, it will be taken that you wish to withdraw from the agreement, and the contract for sale will therefore be deemed to be terminated.
For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, delivery will be deemed to have taken place, and the order fulfilled, at the point when the User or a third party nominated by them takes actual possession of the product(s), as confirmed by signing for receipt of the order at the agreed delivery address.
From the point at which the goods are delivered, any product risks are borne by you. You take ownership of the products once MALLAFRÉ has received full payment for all amounts due (including delivery costs) in relation to your purchase, or at the time of delivery, if this is after full receipt of the amount due to be paid to MALLAFRÉ.
In accordance with Value Added Tax (VAT) Act (Spain) 37/1992, of 28 December, purchase orders for delivery and/or provision of service will be subject to Spanish VAT if the delivery address is within Spanish territory except for the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla. The VAT rate applied shall be that which is legally in force from time to time, depending on the specific item in question.

8. RETURNS
Where Users buy products through the owner's Website, they have a number of rights, as set out below:
The Right to Cancel
In accordance with Spanish legislation, customers have the right to cancel, allowing them to return the product they have received if it does not meet their expectations.
This right may be exercised within 14 calendar days from receipt. Due to the nature of the products sold on this website, if you wish to exercise your right to cancel, you must not open the product so that it remains fit for consumption.
Where you have opened the product, this right to cancel will not be applicable in accordance with the exclusions contained in Article 103 of Spain's Royal Decree 1/2007, of 16 November, which approved the Revised Text of the General Consumer and User Protection Act (Spain) and other complementary laws amended by Article 28 of Act 3/2014, of 27 March, paragraph e.
In situations where it is MALLAFRÉ who handles the collection of the product being returned, once the condition of the goods has been checked, the refund for the purchase amount is made via the same means of payment originally used to pay for the order and, in any case, within 14 calendar days from receipt of the request to cancel. If it is the buyer who is returning the product using a carrier of their choice, the 14-day refund period starts from the moment MALLAFRÉ is actually aware of the goods being dispatched or, failing that, from the time the product is received.
The costs of returning goods under the right to cancel are borne by the buyer.
You can exercise your right to cancel through any of the following means:
- Using the following link: withdrawal form
- Using any other legally valid form of notification.
The User can return or send the products to:
MALLAFRÉ
Av. Montbrió, 21 - 43330 RIUDOMS (Tarragona)
When exercising the right to cancel, it is sufficient that the communication unequivocally expressing the User's decision to cancel is sent before the end of the cooling-off period.
This right to cancel will not be applicable in accordance with the exclusions contained in Article 103 of Royal Decree 1/2007, of 16 November, which approved the Revised Text of the General Consumer and User Protection Act (Spain) and other complementary legislation modified by Article 28 of Act 3/2014, of 27 March, under the following paragraphs:
- d) "the supply of goods which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly" (according to Best Before Date)
- e) "the supply of sealed goods which are not eligible for return for health or hygiene reasons, and which have been unsealed after receipt".
Returning defective products or errors in shipping
This relates to situations where you, the User, consider that at the time of delivery the product does not comply with the agreement or purchase order. In such cases, you should contact MALLAFRÉ immediately and notify us of the non-conformity (defect/error) using the same contact details shown in the section above (Right to Cancel).
We will then tell you how to return the products. Then, within a reasonable period of time of them being returned and examined, we will notify you of the refund or, if applicable, replacement of the goods.
The product will be refunded or replaced as soon as possible and, in any event, within 14 days from the date on which we send you an email confirming that the non-compliant product is being refunded or replaced.
The amount paid for those products that are returned due to defects, where these actually exist, will be fully reimbursed, including delivery costs and any costs the User incurred in returning the item(s). The refund will be made to the same payment method used when making the purchase.
We shall at all times respect any recognised legal rights that apply to you - both as a consumer and user of the Website.
General guarantee for all products
Unless proved otherwise, the goods shall be deemed to conform to the agreement, provided that they meet all the requirements set out below:
1. They meet the seller's description and possess the qualities of the product that the seller has presented to consumers and users on the Website or in the form of a sample or model.
2. They are suitable for the uses that products of a similar type are ordinarily aimed.
3. They present the usual quality and performance of a product of the same type that consumers and users can reasonably expect, taking into account the nature of the product.
The Consumer and User Protection Act offers a two-year guarantee from the date of receipt of the product. However, this period will depend on the nature of the product itself, where the shelf life of the product (Best Before Date) is earlier than the guarantee period set by the Act.
9. LIABILITY WAIVER
Unless otherwise legally provided for, MALLAFRÉ accepts no responsibility for the following losses, regardless of their origin:
Any losses that are not attributable to any breach on its part;
Business losses (including loss of profits, revenue, contracts, anticipated savings, data, loss of goodwill or unnecessary expenses incurred); or
Any other indirect loss not reasonably foreseeable by both parties at the time the agreement to sell the products was made.
MALLAFRÉ also limits its liability in the following situations:
MALLAFRÉ applies all appropriate measures by truthfully and accurately displaying the product on its Website.

MALLAFRÉ will act with maximum diligence in order to make the ordered products available to the delivery company. However, it is not responsible for losses arising from a malfunction during transportation, especially for reasons such as strikes, traffic jams, and in general any other issue that is typical of the sector, and which results in delays, losses or theft of the product.
Technical failures, whether due to accident or other reason, that prevent the normal operation of the service over the internet. Lack of availability of the Website due to maintenance or other reasons, which prevents the service from being available. MALLAFRÉ makes all its resources available for carrying out the process of purchasing, payment and shipping/delivery of its products. However, it is not responsible for causes which are not attributable to it, nor for unforeseeable circumstances or force majeure.
MALLAFRÉ will not be responsible for the incorrect use and/or wear and tear of any products that you have used. Nor shall MALLAFRÉ be responsible for erroneous returns made by you. It is the User's responsibility to return the correct product.
In general, MALLAFRÉ will not be responsible for any failure or delay in meeting any of its obligations where this is due to events beyond its reasonable control - that is, due to reasons of force majeure, including but not limited to the following:
Strikes, lockouts or other forms of industrial action.
Civil commotion, revolt, invasion, terrorist threat or attack, war (whether declared or undeclared) or threat of or preparations for war or a state of alarm.

The obligations will therefore be suspended for as long as the cause of force majeure goes on, and MALLAFRÉ shall be given an extension to its period for meeting its obligations equal to the duration of the cause of force majeure. Despite the cause of force majeure, MALLAFRÉ will make all reasonable resources available to find a solution that will enable it to comply with its obligations.
