Article 5. Order

The Buyer has the opportunity to browse the Site and order Products offered for sale on the Site, subject to availability.

  • Email address;
  • First and last name;
  • Postal address;
  • Telephone number; and
  • Payment information.

All personal data collected during the order will be processed in accordance with Article 15.

The Buyer with a Client Account (see Article 14) who wishes to order a Product is exempt from completing the identification form (excluding payment information) and can therefore order faster.

Article 6. Validity and validation

By placing an order on the Site, the Buyer accepts these Terms in full, without exception or reservation.

A summary of the Product ordered is communicated by the Seller to the Buyer after the order is placed at the e-mail address indicated on the Buyer’s identification form.

The summary of the Product order includes the following information:

  • a summary of the Products ordered;
  • the total price for the Products ordered;
  • the date and time of the order;
  • the date or period by which the Seller undertakes to deliver the Products;
  • the Delivery costs for the delivery of the Products;
  • the payment method chosen by the Buyer; 

The Buyer shall promptly check the contents of the summary and immediately notify the Seller of any errors or omissions. The order confirmation is equivalent to signature and acceptance of the transaction by the Buyer and the Seller. The recorded confirmation of the order and all the data transmitted during the order are considered proof of the transaction. In the event the order was fraudulently placed, the Buyer may, as soon as this use is noticed, contact the Seller’s customer service as quickly as possible to notify the Seller of such fraudulent order. It is expressly agreed that, unless there is a manifest error on Seller’s part, the data stored in the Seller’s computer systems, under reasonable conditions of security, shall be probative with regard to orders made by the Buyer. Data in electronic or computerized form constitute valid evidence and, as such, are admissible under the same conditions and with the same probative value as any document drawn up, received or kept in writing.

The Seller undertakes to fulfil the orders placed on the Site only within the limits of the available Product stocks. If the Products are not available, the Seller undertakes to inform the Buyer as soon as reasonably possible. The Seller may refuse orders if the quantities of Products are abnormally high for Buyers who are private consumers. 

Notwithstanding the above, in the case of a B2B Buyer the Seller will be free of any liability provided the delivered order matches the order confirmation sent to the B2B Buyer.

Article 7. Payment

The validation of the Products order implies for the Buyer the obligation to pay the price indicated on the order confirmation.

The Buyer must pay for their order by credit card (Debit card, Visa, Eurocard, MasterCard) or via PayPal, ApplePay or Google Pay the time the order is placed. In the case of a B2B Buyer, it may ask the Seller to pay their order via wire transfer, at the Seller’s discretion.

Subscriptions (""Subscription"")

 Insofar as that waterdrop® offers this in the online shop, the following provisions apply to subscriptions (""Subscription""):
 
If you take out a subscription, you will receive recurring deliveries of the products you have selected. The frequency of deliveries depends on the frequency you have selected for your subscription. There is no minimum order quantity. If a certain order quantity is exceeded, you will receive a discount. The exact rules can be found in the respective FAQs on the website.

Subscription fees are generally due in advance (before the respective delivery). Delivery charges are shown in addition to the product price on the website during the ordering process and must be accepted by the customer when confirming the order. If we are unable to process your subscription order using the payment method specified by you at the time of ordering, your subscription will be canceled if no other payment method is provided after request within a reasonable period of time.

The subscription is set for an indefinite period. If you wish to cancel or change your subscription, you can do so at any time. You can do this directly in the customer portal (either via your waterdrop® Club account or via the links to the customer portal found within your order confirmation emails). A cancellation or change of subscription will take effect for the next delivery cycle. If a product in your subscription is not available on the scheduled delivery date, you will be notified by email and either have the option to wait until the product is available again, cancel or change your subscription where that product is concerned.

During the term of the subscription, waterdrop® is entitled to adjust the price of the ordered products within reasonable discretion. An adjustment can be made in response to cost increases or cost reductions which are based on external circumstances over which waterdrop® has no control (these include, in particular, changes in legislation, changes in the costs of manufacturers, suppliers, shipping service providers, external service providers or subcontractors, changes in the costs of production and licensing, as well as general and significant changes in costs due to economic inflation or deflation). You will be notified in good time via email of upcoming price changes to your subscription before the next delivery cycle. You may object to the pending price change until the expiry of the period stated in this email by canceling your subscription. Otherwise, announced price changes are deemed to have been accepted by you.

Changes to these General Terms & Conditions will be communicated by waterdrop® to subscription customers at least 30 days before they come into effect by sending the text of the contract to the e-mail address last provided by the customer. If the customer does not object to the changes within 30 days of receipt of the aforementioned announcement in writing by email to info@waterdrop.com, the changes will be deemed as accepted. In the event of the timely objection of a customer, the contractual relationship between this customer and waterdrop® shall continue in accordance with the General Terms & Conditions following the version prior to the announced change.

waterdrop® is entitled to cancel the subscription at any time for good cause, in particular in the event of fraud or misuse, repeated default of payment or discontinuation of the entire offer or of individual products or if the continuation of the subscription contract has become unreasonable due to environmental concerns.
