General information on Klarna you can find here. Your personal data is handled in accordance with applicable data protection law and in accordance with the information in Klarna’s privacy policy.

SECTION 10 – TAXES AND DUTIES
Within the European Union orders are shipped on DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) basis, meaning that all taxes and duties are included in the final price.

Orders outside the EU orders shipped on a Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) basis, meaning that all taxes and duties are excluded in the final price. Your order may therefore be subject to local taxes and import duties, which are levied by your local customs authority or the used shipping carrier. We are unable to calculate the exact amount in duties and taxes your order might incur, as these charges are imposed directly by the Norwegian, UK and US customs and postal code. The Ode To does not cover any such taxes, duties or related charges. Taxes and duties incurred on refused or unclaimed packages are not covered by The Ode To.

SECTION 11 – DELIVERY AND SHIPPING
Products in stock are normally delivered within the number of working days set forth on the Website. Unless otherwise agreed (e.g. in connection with reservation of products not in stock), delivery will be made no later than 30 working days after The Ode To has confirmed the order in writing through the order confirmation. Further information about The Ode To’s delivery of products and the conditions for delivery are set forth here.

The expected delivery time is set forth in the order confirmation, at the checkout and/or on the current product page on the Website. Unless otherwise expressly agreed and if a delivery is delayed for more than 30 working days and it is not due to you as Customer, you are entitled to cancel the purchase.

If any package shall be picked up at a specific delivery point, the Customer shall do so within the time specified in the notification. Packages shall normally be retrieved personally with valid identification and order number. The Customer will receive a notification of delivery stating when and where the package shall be picked-up or received. The notification may be made by e-mail, ordinary mail and if the Customer has provided a mobile number, also by phone or SMS.

If any package shall be delivered to a specific address, we require a physical street address and signature upon delivery. The carriers are unable to deliver to post office boxes. You can specify an alternative address, e.g. your office, as shipping address for daytime delivery. If the carrier is unable to deliver, you will be notified by letter, sms or e-mail and you can schedule another delivery attempt. Please note that the carriers’ services and processes differ among countries and cities. The Ode To cannot be held responsible for changes to the carriers’ terms of service, therefore please refer to dbschenker.com, ups.com or fedex.com for current information for your specific location.

The Ode To is entitled to charge the Customer a fee of 150 SEK if the package is not retrieved, to cover for the double shipping fees and handling charges.

TRANSPORT DAMAGE
Goods should be checked for any damage when the Customer receives the delivery. Goods with visible external shipping damage should be claimed from The Ode To, the Customer has to have the damage noted on the bill of lading from the shipping company in connection with the receipt and the driver should note the damage. If the Customer would discover hidden defects / transport damages after opening the package, this should be communicated as soon as possible to The Ode To. At any transport damage The Ode To should be contacted together with a message with clear pictures of the damage and possibly damaged packaging and provide the email with the order number. If the transport provided without endorsement, by proxy, the transport may not be claimed.

SECTION 12 – WITHDRAWAL AND RETURN OF ORDER
You may cancel or return your order from the date you place the order until 14 days after receipt of the ordered items, unless it's a product that is made on demand or that is framed since this involves a customisation. If the Customer wishes to withdraw a purchase, the Customer shall, prior to the expiry of the withdrawal period, send a clear message to The Ode To in the manner set forth here. The Customer shall provide their name, address and other relevant information, e.g. order reference, invoice number and the name of the product in the message.

If the Customer uses their right of withdrawal, the Customer shall pay for the return shipping costs and is responsible for the condition. The return and the financial responsibility for the return is the Customer’s until it reaches us, so we recommend that the Customer uses a trackable delivery service. The returns label should be attached to the outside of the parcel, making sure that the original address label is covered.

The product shall be returned within 14 days from the date when The Ode To was notified of the withdrawal. The product shall be sent well packaged, in good condition and in its original box and/or packaging. This means the items should not have been damaged, soiled, torn, wrinkled, altered or folded and that any labels or tags should be intact.

When the Customer withdraws their purchase, The Ode To will refund the amount the Customer has paid for the product, including shipping costs. Any additional shipping costs due to the Customer choosing another delivery than the standard delivery offered by The Ode To are exempted from refund. Upon return of part of an order, the shipping costs will not be refunded. The Ode To is entitled to deduct an amount from the amount to be refunded, which corresponds to the depreciation in value of the product compared to the original value of the product, if and to the extent such depreciation in value is due to Customer having handled the product to a greater extent than necessary to determine its function or characteristics.

The Ode To will pay back the amount without undue delay, however, no later than within 14 days from the date The Ode To received the Customer notification of withdrawal. However, The Ode To may delay repayment until The Ode To has received the product or the Customer has provided proof that the product has been returned, e.g. by means of certificate of delivery. Repayment will be made to the Customer by the payment method chosen by the Customer, unless otherwise agreed or if there is any objection for such a repayment.

SECTION 13 - FORCE MAJEURE
The Ode To is not liable for any delays caused by circumstances beyond our control, e.g. general labour dispute, extreme weather, pandemics, acts of war, fire, lightning, terrorist attacks, changed governmental orders, technical problems, defects in power- /tele-/computer communications or other communication and defects or delays in the service by sub-suppliers due to circumstances set forth above. Such circumstances shall result in relief from damages and other measures. If any such situation should arise, The Ode To shall inform the Customer accordingly both at the beginning and the end of the period for the current situation. If the situation has lasted for more than two months, both the Customer and The Ode To are entitled to terminate the purchase with immediate effect.
