 4. Product Sales

(a) SCAFOS reserves the right, in its sole discretion and at any time after receiving your order, to accept, refuse, place on hold, or cancel any order you place with us, including the right to limit quantities purchased. Once we receive your order, we’ll provide you with an email order confirmation. Your receipt of an order confirmation does not signify SCAFOS’S acceptance of your order or a confirmation of our offer to sell; but simply an acknowledgment that we received your order.

After receiving your order, SCAFOS may contact you to request clarification, additional or missing information regarding your order or your account including measurements - even pictures - or customizations. It is your sole responsibility to deliver the additional information to SCAFOS in a timely and opportune manner. SCAFOS reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to place your order on hold or even cancel it if the requested information is not received in time or is incomplete. Orders on-hold will be automatically canceled: i) 60 days after being placed if there’s missing information, and ii) 30 days after being placed if there’s pending payment.

In the event SCAFOS makes a change to or cancels an order, we will attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or address/phone number provided at the time the order was placed. If the order is canceled after you have already been billed, SCAFOS will refund the billed amount, as per these Terms.

(b) Information, drawings, figures, technical data, specifications of weight, measurements, and services contained in brochures, catalogs, newsletters, ads, or price lists are purely informational. SCAFOS cannot guarantee the correctness of this information, and if there is any inconsistency between the information described above and the information in an order confirmation email, the order confirmation email controls.

(c) SCAFOS reserves the right to reject orders for any reason or no reason. If SCAFOS rejects an order, it will notify the customer.

(d) SCAFOS's performance of an order is completed when the shipment provider completes delivery to the customer's address, according to the records of the shipment provider. If there is an interruption of delivery, and SCAFOS cannot replace the order in a reasonable amount of time, SCAFOS will notify the customer immediately.

(e) If there is a product defect or if you are dissatisfied with your order for any reason,  Scafos's return policy will apply, which SCAFOS may change at any time in its sole discretion.

(f) SCAFOS as a platform provider cannot pre-examine all print designs created by customers for possible breaches. SCAFOS reserves the right to reject received orders within the legal period of acceptance if, during the ordering process, it becomes known or it is suspected that third-party rights or statutory regulations will be violated by a print design. As the merchandise, is fully customized and in the event the merchandise is ready and SCAFOS finds out about any breach, SCAFOS reserves the right not to refund the customer the ordered value of goods but instead will issue a credit voucher to the customer for use in any of their future order. Scafos reserves the right to cancel an order if the image uploaded by the customer in any way reflects or hurts sentiments of any religion, caste, or creed and or depicts Pornography & obscenity and or is provocative.

(g) The merchandise is a fully customized product created by the user. We keep nothing in stock and thus each order placed is produced solely for the user. Some deviation in size and color is possible. Designs with vertical or horizontal stripes tend to become wavy when printed and thus are properties of the printing technique and not a defect. Also, the product preview on the SCAFOS site is only to create a reference look for the user and not a guaranteed look of the final product.

(h) At Scafos.com ApS, we strive to provide you with the best quality products and services. However, in the print-on-demand industry, certain situations may arise beyond our control, and we want to ensure clarity regarding these scenarios:

i. Quantity Shortage:

In the rare event that the final quantity for dispatch falls short of your original order due to unforeseen circumstances during the production process, we commit to refunding you for the missing quantity. However, under no circumstances will we accept a request to cancel or return the balance quantity simply because the total order quantity was not met. We will fulfill your order to the best of our abilities and refund any discrepancies promptly.

ii. Quality Standards:

While we take utmost care in producing your orders to meet high-quality standards, discrepancies may occasionally occur. If you receive an order and find that a portion of the products do not conform to your quality standards, we will refund you for the non-conforming items. Please note that we are not obligated to reproduce the non-conforming items. Additionally, you cannot request to return the conforming items solely due to the non-conformity of a portion of the order.

iii. Color Variation for Reproduced Quantity:

In cases where it is mutually agreed upon to re-produce the non-conforming or short quantity from your original order, we want to inform you that there may be a slight color variation between the reproduced lot and the initially delivered or produced lot. While we strive to maintain consistency in color, variations can occur due to different production runs. By agreeing to re-produce the short quantity, you acknowledge and accept the possibility of minor color discrepancies between the two batches. These variations will not be considered grounds for a refund or return of the reproduced items, as long as they fall within acceptable industry standards for color tolerance.
