We understand that delivery times may be extended due to major machine breakdowns in our supplier's factory or in the company Bevec d.o.o., strikes, natural and other disasters, martial law, and the like. We also consider a significant extension of our suppliers' delivery periods due to the extension of their sub-suppliers' delivery periods to be a force majeure.

8. Concluding a distance contract
8.1. Distance contracts are concluded in writing or orally between the provider and the buyer by issuing a contract confirmation using a means of distance communication, allowing the contract to be concluded without the contracting parties' simultaneous physical presence. A telephone conversation or e-mail conversation is also considered a means of distance communication. The purchase contract between the provider and the buyer is thus formed when the provider confirms the order in writing or orally. All prices and other terms are now fixed and apply to both the company Bevec d.o.o. and the buyer.8.2. We consider accepted orders to be irrevocable. In the period between the order's issuance and the receipt of an electronic notification that the order is in progress, the buyer has the right to cancel the order without incurring any additional obligations. When placing orders for personal collection at the Bevec d.o.o. headquarters, the contract is deemed to be finally concluded upon receipt and payment of the ordered goods.
8.3. Along with the goods, the provider sends an invoice to the buyer.

If the buyer does not collect the ordered goods sent by cash on delivery and the goods are returned to the company's address after the waiting period at the delivery service, this is NOT considered a withdrawal from the contract, as the latter is still validly concluded, and this also applies to the buyer's unilateral unannounced withdrawal from the contract. In the event of non-acceptance, the buyer is also liable for the additional shipping/return of goods to the company. In the event of non-acceptance, it will be handled by our legal department, which will further regulate the payment and possible recovery of incurred costs and damages.11.

11.5. In the event that we make a request, the buyer must immediately return the complained goods or individual items so that we can determine the validity of the complaint. Otherwise, the buyer forfeits his right to appeal or file a complaint.
