A. 5. EVENTS BEYOND OUR CONTROL
We are not liable for the failure to comply or delayed compliance with obligations under the Terms of Use or other contracts when caused by events beyond our reasonable control (“Force Majeure”). Force majeure includes, but is not limited to:
Strikes, lockouts, or other forms of protest.
Civil unrest, riots, invasions, terrorist attacks or threats, war (declared or not), or threats or preparations for war.

It is understood that our obligations under the Terms of Use or other contracts are suspended during the period the force majeure event lasts, and we are granted an extension of time for fulfilling these obligations equal to the period the force majeure situation lasted. We will make all reasonable efforts to resolve the force majeure situation or find a solution that enables us to fulfill our obligations despite the force majeure.
A. 6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
(1) Your claims for damages are excluded, except for those arising from injury to life, body, or health or from the breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) and except for liability for other damages caused by intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the company, its legal representatives, employees, or agents. Essential contractual obligations are those necessary for achieving the purpose of the contract.
(2) In the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, the company is liable only for foreseeable damage typical for the contract if such damage is caused by simple negligence unless the claims for damages are based on injury to life, body, or health.
(3) The limitation of liability also applies to the benefit of the company’s legal representatives, employees, and agents if claims are asserted directly against them.
(4) Mandatory statutory provisions remain unaffected.
A. 7. ASSIGNMENT

The agreement benefits and is binding upon the parties and their respective legal representatives, successors, and assigns.
A. 8. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; NO WAIVER
(1) These Terms of Use, together with any legal notices posted on the website or in apps, constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between you and us concerning the use of the website or apps and replace all prior terms, agreements, discussions, and writings related to the subject matter.
(2) Any terms you include in an order, order confirmation, or other documents are expressly excluded.
(3) If any provision of the Terms of Use is found to be unenforceable, this does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use, which remain in full force.
(4) A waiver of a term of the Terms of Use does not constitute a further or continued waiver of that term or any other term. Our failure to assert any right or provision under the Terms of Use does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
A. 9. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the company, its subsidiaries, affiliates, suppliers, licensors, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives from any third-party claims and costs (including reasonable attorney fees) arising out of or related to:

B. 8. PRICE AND PAYMENT.
(1) All prices include applicable VAT and all other taxes (if applicable). All prices are exclusive of shipping costs. Shipping costs are always available via the “Shipping Info” link on the website or the apps. They will also be specified individually for your order during the checkout process. The total order cost consists of the price of the ordered products and the shipping costs.
(2) Price changes are possible at any time but do not affect confirmed orders as described in Section B. 2. ORDER PROCESS below.
B. 9. ORDER PROCESS.
(1) Our representation of products on the website or the app constitutes a non-binding offer. Once you have selected an item you wish to purchase, it will be placed in your shopping cart (“Cart”). To process the order and make payment, you must follow the steps of the purchasing process, providing or verifying the information requested in each step. Additionally, during the entire purchasing process, before payment, you can change the details of your order, and you may be prompted to log into your account or register with us, enter a shipping address, select a payment method, and choose a shipping option. A detailed description of the purchasing process can be found on the “Ordering Process” page. If your order triggers a fraud alert in our security system, a confirmation email may be sent to your email address.
(2) You may use the payment methods specified on the local website, which may include Visa, Mastercard, JCB, Diners’ Club, Paypal, Klarna, Afterpay, Discover, Diners Club, and online banking, etc. Depending on the selected method, you will need to enter additional information and may be directed to the payment provider’s website to verify yourself as an authorized user before placing your order. You may also use your wallet balance as explained in our terms of use. By clicking “Authorize Payment,” you confirm that you are the authorized user of the payment method and that it is your credit card. If the payment provider, such as the credit card issuer, does not authorize the payment, we are not liable for delays or non-delivery and may not conclude a contract with you.
(3) After completing the payment process, you can place an order by clicking the “Buy Now” button, thereby making an offer to purchase (all) products in your cart (your “Order”). To minimize the risk of unauthorized access, your credit card details are encrypted. Once we receive your order, we will request a pre-authorization on your card to ensure that sufficient funds are available to complete the transaction.
(4) We will then process your order and send you a message to the email address you provided at checkout, confirming receipt of your order and including the details of your order (“Order Confirmation”). The order confirmation and/or the charge to your credit card or other payment method serves as confirmation that we have received your order.
(5) Our acceptance of your order and the conclusion of the contract between us occurs when we ship the product(s) to you. Your card will be charged at the time of the order unless you have chosen a “Pay Later” service (which is only available in certain countries), in which case your card will be charged at the time of delivery. If you choose online banking, your order includes the direct debit mandate to charge your account.
B. 10. ERRORS.
(1) You will be able to correct errors related to the personal data provided during the purchasing process by contacting us and exercising the right to rectification provided in our privacy policy on the website and apps. The site and apps display confirmation fields in various sections of the purchasing process that do not allow the order to continue if the information in those sections is not provided correctly. Additionally, the website and apps provide details of all items you have placed in the cart during the purchasing process so that you can change your order details before payment.
(2) If you notice an error in your order after completing the payment process, you should immediately contact our customer service to correct the error.
(3) Although we strive to provide accurate product and pricing information, errors in pricing or printing may occur. We can only confirm the price of an item after your order is placed. In the event that an item is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to an error in pricing or product information, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to refuse or cancel any orders for that item. If an item is incorrectly priced, we may, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions or cancel your order and notify you of the cancellation.
B. 11. SAME-DAY PURCHASE LIMITATIONS.
For customers in the European Economic Area, customs duties may apply if a purchase exceeds 150 euros in a single day.
B. 12. CUSTOMS.
In accordance with customs regulations, you must provide valid and accurate data. All recipient names, addresses, and payer names should be valid. Certain countries require the recipient to present their ID or passport to release the package or for payment verification purposes. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that the information you provide us is complete and correct. If information is missing or incorrect and prevents shipping or delivery or customs clearance, we are not responsible and will not provide compensation in such cases. You hereby authorize the company and its affiliates to make, amend, and invalidate all declarations and documents necessary or useful for the importation of the goods you ordered on your behalf and at your expense. This power of attorney includes the authority to make and receive deliveries, request refunds for duties, taxes, and fees related to the importation of goods, pursue administrative remedies and legal proceedings, and remedies in all instances, submit applications, complaints, etc., to authorities, courts, and other institutions, file remedies and appeals against judgments, orders, arbitral awards, payment orders, or other dispositions and decisions of any kind, withdraw and/or waive them, and receive funds, valuables, and documents and/or papers. It also includes the right to appoint customs agents in your name and on your behalf and grant sub-powers of attorney to customs agents and/or other representatives involved in the handling of matters related to the importation of goods and compliance with import regulations. As the importer, you are responsible for complying with all laws and regulations in your country.
B. 13. COLORS.
We have made every effort to display the colors of our products on the website and apps as accurately as possible. However, since the actual colors you see depend on your monitor, we cannot guarantee that your monitor will display every color accurately.
B. 14. PACKAGING.
Unless otherwise specified, we will only adhere to the minimum packaging standards for the chosen method of transport. The costs for any special packaging, loading, or strapping you request will be your responsibility.
B. 15. SHIPPING AND DELIVERY.
We ship from various warehouses in different countries. For orders with more than one item, we may, at our discretion, split your order into multiple packages, depending on stock availability. We strive to deliver orders as quickly as possible. However, during times of high demand, delivery may sometimes take longer. The estimated delivery time is within 15 days; however, for deliveries from countries outside Europe, it may take longer, depending on the information provided during the ordering process. If you have not received your delivery within 15 business days, please contact us at contact@bokiie.com.
B. 16. TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS.
Unless otherwise agreed, shipping will be to the delivery address you specified. Title and risk of damage or loss of products pass to you upon delivery of your order to the international carrier for delivery to your country. We recommend that you obtain shipping insurance (insurance) if available on the website to ensure you are compensated if your order is lost or damaged during shipping.
B. 17. WARRANTY AND RETURNS OF PRODUCTS.
(1) If you are a consumer residing in European countries, you may have statutory warranty rights. Notwithstanding such statutory warranty rights or your possible right of withdrawal pursuant to Section B. 11, items with quality issues may be exchanged under this provision (“voluntary return policy”). You can return your order within 14 days of receiving the package by informing us at contact@bokiie.com. Depending on your preference, we will either exchange the product or refund your purchase price and shipping costs. The refund will be made to the original payment method. The following items cannot be returned or exchanged under our voluntary return policy: bodysuits, lingerie, nightwear, swimwear, jewelry, and accessories (except for scarves, bags, and mermaid blankets). (2) To exercise your statutory warranty rights or to make use of our voluntary return policy, you must inform us by contacting our customer service at contact@bokiie.com.
B. 18. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL.
In addition to your right under our voluntary return policy, you as a consumer residing in a European country have the following statutory right of withdrawal.
The statutory right of withdrawal does not exist or ceases to exist for contracts for the delivery of sealed goods that are not suitable for return for health protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., bodysuits, lingerie, nightwear, swimwear) and that have been unsealed after delivery.
Right of Withdrawal
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without providing any reason.
The withdrawal period expires after 14 days from the day on which you or a third party designated by you, who is not the carrier, has taken possession of the goods. To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us through our customer service at contact@bokiie.com with a clear statement of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You may use the attached sample withdrawal form for this, but it is not mandatory.
To comply with the withdrawal period, it is sufficient for you to send the notification of the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of Withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse you for all payments we have received from you, including delivery costs (except for the additional costs resulting from your choice of a delivery method other than the least expensive standard delivery we offer), without undue delay and in any case no later than 14 days from the day on which we received the notification of your withdrawal from this contract. For this reimbursement, we will use the same payment method you used for the original transaction unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; in no case will you be charged fees for this reimbursement. We may withhold the reimbursement until we have received the goods back or until you have provided evidence that you have returned the goods, whichever is the earlier.
You must return the products without undue delay and in any case no later than 14 days from the day on which you inform us of your withdrawal from this contract. The deadline is met if you return the goods before the 14-day period has expired. You will bear the costs of returning the products.
You will only be liable for any diminished value of the goods if this diminished value is due to handling them in a way that is not necessary to ascertain the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the goods.
