1. Scope and Object of the General Store Conditions

  • These General Conditions, together with the order form and the other elements referred to therein, are intended to regulate the terms and conditions governing the provision of the Online Shop Service ("Service" or "Shop") by Barboflex, with registered office at Zona Industrial dos Terço, Rua da Misericórdia nº188, 4410-528, Canelas, under the tax identification number 504547070.
  • The Service consists of providing, via the address http://www.barboflex.pt, access to the Online Shop which, in addition to providing information on a range of products and/or services, allows the User to electronically order the products advertised therein, under the terms and conditions described herein.
  • Product orders must be placed by Users aged 18 (eighteen) or over (individuals under this age must be authorised by their representatives). The elements and information transmitted by the User will enjoy full legal effect, with the User recognising the electronic purchases and not being able to claim lack of signature for breach of the obligations assumed.

2. Product Information and Content

  • Barboflex will endeavour to ensure that the information presented does not contain typographical errors, which will be corrected promptly whenever they occur. If you purchase a product that has different characteristics to those presented online, you have the right to withdraw from the purchase contract under the applicable legal terms (right of withdrawal - see point 9).
  • Barboflex will endeavour to send all the products ordered, but it is possible that, in certain cases and due to causes that are difficult for Barboflex to control, such as human error or computer system failures, some of the products ordered by the User may not be available. If a product is not available after you have placed your order, you will be notified by email or telephone. You will then be offered the chance to cancel the order with a refund, if you have already paid for it.
  • All information on prices, products, specifications, promotional activities and services may be changed at any time by Barboflex.
