If we do not succeed in contacting you within a reasonable period using the contact details that you have supplied, or if you do not confirm the order to us at the correct price, the Agreement will be automatically terminated.

As soon as your order is ready to be dispatched from our warehouse, you will receive a Dispatch Confirmation from us.

If we have good grounds on which not to enter into the Agreement on the basis of these enquiries, we will be entitled to refuse an order or request, with reasons, or to attach special conditions to its performance.
5. CANCELLATION OR WITHDRAWAL OF YOUR ORDER
5.1 You may cancel your order as long as you have not yet received a Dispatch Confirmation from us. You may do this by completing the standard form, calling our customer service on +353 (0)1 828 4823 or 0800 051 8080 (availability: Mondays to Fridays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) or by sending an email to eusupport@gaia-baby.com, in which you clearly state that you are cancelling the order, quoting the order number. You will receive confirmation of the cancellation from us by e-mail. If you cancel your order before receipt of the Dispatch Confirmation, we will fully refund all amounts that you have already paid, including dispatch costs, within 14 days of the cancellation and not charge you anything.
5.2 You may terminate the Agreement without stating reasons (withdrawal) during a cooling-off period.
A. Furniture and related products. You have the right to terminate an agreement concerning the purchase of such a product without stating reasons during a 14-day cooling-off period.
The cooling-off period commences on the date of delivery of the order either to you or to a representative that you have designated and notified us of in advance.
5.3 Handle the product and packaging carefully during the cooling-off period. You may only unpack or use the product if this is necessary to be able to assess whether you wish to keep it. The point of departure here is that you may only handle and inspect the product in the same way that you would be allowed in a shop. You’re only liable for the product’s devaluation that is a consequence of your handling the product other than as permitted in this paragraph.
5.4 You may make use of your right of withdrawal by calling our customer service on 0800 0518080 (availability: Mondays to Fridays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) or by completing the standard withdrawal form on our Website. We will then immediately send you confirmation of receipt of your withdrawal by e-mail.
5.5 If you make use of your right of withdrawal, you must return the product with all supplied accessories to us undamaged and – if reasonably possible – in the original condition and packaging within 14 days of making use of your right of withdrawal. We kindly request that you complete and enclose the returns label that you received from us at the time of delivery. This speeds up the returns and refund process.
5.6 The risk and the burden of proof for exercising the right of withdrawal correctly and in time rest upon you. The direct costs of returning the product will be born by you.
5.7 If you have made use of your right of withdrawal, we will fully refund the amounts you have already paid, including dispatch costs, within 14 days of receipt of your withdrawal. In case of withdrawal, you will not be liable for more than the cost of returning the products.
5.8 If you exercise your right of withdrawal, all supplementary agreements are legally dissolved.
6. DELIVERY AND RETENTION OF TITLE
6.1 Unless a longer delivery period is agreed, orders will be delivered within no more than 14 days of placing the order to your supplied delivery address. Our transport provider does not make deliveries on Saturdays and Sundays.
6.2 If there is a delay in delivery, if an order cannot be executed or if an order can only be partially executed, you will receive notice thereof within no more than 14 days of placing the order. In that case, you will be entitled to terminate the Agreement without any costs and we will fully refund any amounts that you have already paid within 14 days.
6.3 If delivery of a product you have ordered turns out to be impossible, we will endeavour to offer you a replacement product of comparable or higher quality. You are not obliged to accept this offer and may opt to terminate the Agreement without costs instead, following which we will fully refund the amounts that you have paid within 14 days.
6.4 If our transport provider is unable to deliver your order after two attempts at your stated delivery address, it will leave a message stating where your package is located and how and within which period you can collect the delivery.
6.5 The address that you provided when placing your order serves as the place of delivery. Delivery has taken place and the products are deemed to have been delivered after signature for delivery of the goods at this agreed delivery address.
6.6 Ownership of the products only passes if we have received full payment of all amounts due in relation to the products. Risk of damage in and/or loss of the products passes at the time of delivery to you.
7. PAYMENT
7.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, you must pay amounts due within 14 days of the commencement of the cooling-off period as referred to in Article 5.2 of these T&Cs.
7.2 You must immediately notify us if you discover any inaccuracies in your provided payment details.
7.3 If you pay by credit card, we will carry out a pre-authorisation on that card after receipt of your order so as to guarantee that there are sufficient funds to complete the transaction. The purchase price may not be debited from your credit card until you have received the order from our warehouse. If we do not receive the required authorisation, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.
7.4 If you fail to comply with your payment obligations towards Gaia Baby Ltd, we may charge you statutory interest as well as the reasonable costs that Gaia Baby Ltd must incur to still obtain full payment from you, including collection costs. If you fail to comply with your payment obligations, we will moreover be entitled to claim the products delivered to you as our property and demand their return. In that case, you will be liable for the costs of returning the products.
8. CONFORMITY AND WARRANTY
8.1 We guarantee that the products and/or services fulfill the contract, the specifications stated in the offer, the reasonable requirements of reliability and/or serviceability and the statutory stipulations and/or government regulations that existed on the date that the contract was concluded. If agreed we also guarantees that the product is suited for other than normal designation.
8.2 An extra guarantee arrangement offered by us can never affect the statutory rights and claims that you can enforce against us on the grounds of the contract if we failed to fulfil our part in the contract.
