1. Scope

1.1 These General Terms and Conditions apply to all business relationships between VIVA Scandinavia Canada, (“VIVA”) and the customer (the “Customer”) initiated and handled via VIVA’s online shop at http://www.vivascandinavia.com. The version of these General Terms and Conditions valid at the time the order is placed will apply.
1.2 If agreements have been entered into separately between VIVA and the Customer, these General Terms and Conditions will prevail. Unless expressly agreed to in writing by VIVA, VIVA hereby refuses to accept any contradicting or other general terms and conditions put forward by the Customer.
1.3 The goods in the online shop are offered to end consumers exclusively. Therefore, VIVA expressly reserves the right to offer and deliver goods to the Customer in regular household quantities only. For the purpose of these General Terms and Conditions (i) “Consumer” means any natural person entering into a purchase agreement for purposes that do not predominantly concern his/her business or self-employed activities, and (ii) “Entrepreneur” means any natural or legal person or legal partnership entering into the contract in the pursuit of his/her/its business or self-employed activities.
1.4 The goods in the online shop currently are offered exclusively to Customers whose habitual residence is located in one of VIVA’s delivery regions and who can provide a delivery address in one of these regions. Further delivery restrictions are set out under 4. below.

2. Purchase agreement

2.1 Unless the Customer selects PayPal as a payment method, VIVA’s offerings in the online shop do not represent a legally binding offer to conclude a purchase agreement but rather are an unbinding online catalogue to inform the Customer about the goods offered in the online shop as well as an invitation to place an order. Orders placed by the Customer become binding if the Customer clicks the Buy Now button in the Cart section at the end of the order process. At any time before clicking the Buy Now button the Customer can edit the data entered, change the contents of the cart and/or end the order process by closing the online shop website. By placing an order, the Customer submits to VIVA a binding offer to enter into a purchase agreement. The order confirmation e-mailed to the Customer by VIVA does not mean VIVA has accepted the Customer’s offer to enter into a purchase agreement but serves to inform the Customer that VIVA has received the order (“Acknowledgment of Receipt”). Unless the Customer has selected advance payment or PayPal as the payment method, the purchase agreement will be concluded when the Customer clicks the Send button. VIVA will notify the Customer by e-mail when the goods have been entrusted to the provider of logistics services (“Shipment Confirmation”). VIVA will be entitled, but not obligated, to accept the Customer’s offer to enter into a purchase agreement within 14 days after receipt. If the Customer selected advance payment as the payment method, VIVA will declare its acceptance of the Customer’s offer by sending the Acknowledgment of Receipt to the Customer. If the Customer selected PayPal as the payment method, the purchase agreement will be concluded when the Customer clicks the Buy Now button.
2.2 In the event the Customer places an order for specific goods which are not available at the time the Customer places the order, VIVA reserves the right to reject the Customer’s order. Moreover, VIVA reserves the right to be released from the obligation to deliver goods if the goods ordered are not available after a purchase agreement has been reached. In this case, VIVA will notify the Customer promptly and will reimburse any money the Customer paid for the cancelled order.
2.3 VIVA will not accept orders from any Customers who are under 18 years of age at the time the order is placed.
2.4 The language of the purchase agreement will depend on the language offered to the Customer in the online shop. VIVA reserves the right to provide the Customer with invoices and delivery notes issued in the language of the respective country.

3. Cancellation policy for Consumers

3.1 A Consumer’s right to cancel orders is set out in the cancellation policy below:
