4.2 Placing an order
After registration you can enter our online store and begin shopping. You can choose the products to be purchased, the colour, the size and the quantity and put the products into your cart. Blooming Grape provides the name and description of the products along with a photo in the webshop. A slight difference can exist between the photo and the product itself. Blooming Grape is not liable for the differences between the photo of our product on our webshop and the real appearance of the product. You can check the content of your cart by clicking on the “Cart” icon. It is possible to delete the product by clicking on the “Remove X” icon or correct the quantity of the product in your cart, by clicking onto the white button under the “Qty” column. Items in your cart are not reserved and may be purchased by other customers. You may purchase one or multiple items in the same order and purchase procedure. In a case when you have a discount code, you can enter that code into the “Discount code” field and click on the “Apply” button. Then the purchase price will be reduced by the discount amount in case of qualifying items. Important: make sure that you actually added the discount to your order as we are unable to apply discounts once an order is finalized. By clicking on the “Proceed to checkout” button, you can start the payment procedure. First you should give your shipping address, such as first and last name, shipping address and telephone number. You can enter your billing address, which can differ from the shipping address. The next step is to select the shipping method. During checkout, the shipping fee will be calculated automatically on the basis of the shipping address according to our Shipping Policy.You can choose between two payment methods. You can pay with your credit card using Adyen to complete your order or use your PayPal account. All transactions are secure and encrypted. Credit card information is never stored by Blooming Grape. Payments are made based on your selected shipping destination, either in EUR or HUF. Please check the currency settings for your chosen shipping country for more information. By clicking on “Complete order” button you can pay the purchase price of the cart according to the chosen payment method. When placing your order, the purchase price, the shipping fee and all other applicable fees (if any) will be indicated that you have to pay to receive the products. After placing an order and successfully completing the checkout process, you have to be redirected to an order confirmation page and Blooming Grape sends you an order confirmation email without delay, but not later than within forty-eight (48) hours from the time of the order. Usually, this message is shown in the webshop window after the payment method was successfully completed, with the wording “Your order is confirmed”. Such email contains your order’s summary. Blooming Grape is not liable for late confirmation if the confirmation delay is due to a false or incorrect email address provided by you during the registration process, or your email account is not able to accept messages because your inbox is full. This confirmation email is not an acceptance of your order, it is only a confirmation that Blooming Grape has received your order. Acceptance of your order shall be completed when Blooming Grape sends a shipping notification email to you to confirm that the items have been sent to you. When you would like to continue your shopping in the webshop after placing an order, click on the “Continue shopping” button.
- Purchase information
The default currency in the webshop is dependent on the selected shipping destination. Purchase prices include value added tax (VAT) in accordance with Hungarian tax rules, but do not include shipping fees. Shipping fees are displayed separately based on your shipping destination. All purchases are made in the default currency of your shipping region. In case your bank account is in a different currency, then your bank might include some additional exchange. We are not responsible for possible exchange fees in these cases. If you are unsure about the procedures your bank is following in case of such transaction, we suggest contacting your bank for further information. Charges on your bank statement will appear as “Blooming Grape”. In case we introduce special sale prices, we provide detailed information to our customers in relation thereto. If clearly incorrect purchase prices are indicated in our webshop, e.g. an incorrectly low purchase price is indicated caused by an eventual system malfunction, Blooming Grape shall not accept the order and shall not deliver the product at such incorrect purchase price. In such a case we offer to deliver the product at the correct purchase price to you, and you are entitled to withdraw your order regarding such product.

You shall send back the item to us without delay, but within the initial fourteen (14) days upon delivery. If your order is not applicable for a free return label, then make sure to keep the proof of mailing of the parcel.

As Blooming Grape receives the returned item, a quality control procedure shall take place in order to determine the appropriateness of the returned item. The provisions of Shipping & Returns Policy, especially point 2.1.2 shall apply. Unless your order is eligible for a free return, you will be responsible for return shipping costs.

Any item returned exceeding the fourteen (14) day deadline will not be eligible for a refund and will be shipped back to the sender. You are not entitled to exercise the right of withdrawal when the item was prepared especially upon your own instructions, or on your expressed demand, or in case the item was unambiguously personalized to you. The right of withdrawal cannot be exercised by a non-consumer entity, i.e. an enterprise, namely such entity which acts in the scope of its profession, independent occupation or its business activity.

In case of defective performance (in Hungarian: hibás teljesítés) you are entitled to make a claim for defective items against us on the basis of the Hungarian Civil Code. Upon your request, you are entitled to make the following claims: If an item is defective due to a manufacturing fault, we will offer to repair the item or exchange it. If it cannot be repaired or the same item is not available, you are entitled to a proportional price reduction or to have it repaired it by yourself or a third party and we pay for the repair, or to a full refund (i.e. the purchase price along with the shipping fee). You are entitled to modify your chosen claim, but you are responsible for the costs imposed by this modification, except it was caused by us. You shall inform us about the defect without delay, but within two (2) months from the date of its discovery at the latest. Within the first six (6) months from delivery you shall inform us about the defect and confirm that the item was provided by us. Within such six (6) month deadline there is no other condition to make your claim on the basis of the liability for defective items. After the expiry of the above six (6) month period, however, you are required to prove that the defect discovered by you has already existed at the date of delivery. After the expiry of a two (2) year period following the date of delivery, you are not entitled to make any claims on the basis of the liability for defective items.
8.2 Liability for defective products (in Hungarian: termékszavatosság) If you are a private person purchaser, you shall also have a right to make a claim against Blooming Grape for defective products as described in this clause 8.2. Please note, however, that under Hungarian law you need to choose between your rights described in clause 8.1 and clause 8.2, i.e. making a claim against Blooming Grape because of defective items (in Hungarian: kellékszavatosság) or defective products (in Hungarian: termékszavatosság). You are not entitled to make a claim against Blooming Grape on the basis of both clauses. If a product is defective, you are entitled only to choose to have it repaired by us or require us to exchange the product. You shall inform us about the defect without delay, but within two (2) months from the date of its discovery at the latest. In case of a defective product, you are required to prove the defect of the product. The product is deemed to be defective only if (i) it does not meet the quality requirements applicable by law to the particular product, or (ii) it does not have the characteristics set out in the description of the product delivered by us. You are entitled to make your claim against us within a two (2) year period following the date of delivery. 8.3 Non-consumer buyers Please note, that the above provisions set forth in points 8.1 and 8.2 are applicable only to consumers.
