Customer-generated content in the eShop
The Customer agrees not to produce or convey any content to the eShop, which is against the law or is offensive or inappropriate in any other way, or infringes third party rights, or advertises a third party’s products or services without authorisation.
The Customer may only send, deliver or publish such content to the eShop to which they have full rights of ownership and use, including the right to convey such content to Polarmoss and give Polarmoss the right to publish and use the Customer’s content, without financial compensation, for the purpose for which it has been collected.

The relationship between the consumer customer and Polarmoss is governed by these T&C and the current consumer protection legislation. For the purpose of consumer protection, it is not relevant whether the consumer customer has been registered or not. The relationship between a company customer and Polarmoss is primarily governed by these T&C and, secondly, current trading legislation.
Product information and Product availability
Polarmoss aims to provide correct and updated information on the products and their availability in the eShop, but cannot guarantee the accuracy of the data or the availability or sufficient number of products. Only a limited number of some products are produced, or a product may be temporarily sold out.
If, after receiving an order, it is discovered that the product ordered has sold out either temporarily or permanently notwithstanding the number of products the system has stated to the customer, Polarmoss notifies this to the Customer without undue delay using the contact information provided, usually by email.
If the product ordered is completely unavailable, Polarmoss commits to reimbursing in full the price paid to the Customer, and the purchase transaction is deemed cancelled in respect of this specific product. In cases like this, Polarmoss Customer service will contact the Customer, and the Customer has a choice of prolonging the purchase transaction by accepting a longer delivery time, if manageable by Polarmoss. Or instead the Customer may choose a replacement product.
Polarmoss has the right according to their own judgement to update Product descriptions at any time without prior notice. Polarmoss strives to ensure that Products are presented in the eShop in realistic colours and as they truly are. Product photos are sample illustrations of the Products, and we aim to present them as they are, however, for example, the lining, press-buttons or string colours may vary in the product sold to the Customer, but only in those cases where it does not extensively affect the Product’s appearance.
3. Prices and taxes
The stated prices are applicable only to orders placed in the eShop. All prices displayed in the eShop are the full retail prices of the Products. Prices include VAT, or other applicable taxes per country. Prices do not include shipping costs. Shipping costs per order are displayed at the check-out, when the Customer chooses the delivery method. Polarmoss reserves the right to change prices and shipping costs in such a way that such changes are only applied to orders made after the changes become effective. Prices are given in Euros.
Polarmoss reserves the right to cancel the Customer’s order, when there is an obvious and acute price error on the ordered product. This means a possible Product pricing error in the eShop such that the Product price differs significantly from the general price level of similar Products where it is obvious to the average consumer that the price must be an error. Obvious price errors, for example, are a missing price or one given as €0.00, or if the Product’s displayed price is too low compared to the general conception of an applicable product price.
4. Shipping costs and methods
Polarmoss delivers the Products as soon as possible after receiving the order. This takes from 4 to 10 working days, but during high seasons it can take up to 10 working days. High seasons mean sales campaigns or the release dates of new collections. Some Products may have a longer delivery time, and in such cases, information is provided in the Product data. If the order includes products with different delivery times, the order is shipped in a single delivery after the entire order is ready to be shipped, unless Polarmoss notifies an alternative.
Polarmoss delivers to Finland via the Posti parcel services. Polarmoss delivers outside Finland via the GLS parcel services .
The Customer may choose between quick delivery to a pick-up point or home delivery, when the order is shipped on the next working day at the latest, and this applies during the high season as well.

If only part of the order is returned, the shipping costs are not refunded. The Customer is responsible for any damage to the product, and Polarmoss has the right to deduct the amount from the reimbursement, that covers the damage to the Product compared to the Product’s original value.

If the Product is erroneous, the complaint must always be made directly to the place of purchase.
