General Terms and Conditions of WeLoveFurs as per 16th November 2023
1. Validity
Your orders are handled pursuant to the respective General Terms and Conditions in force at the time the order is placed. Our General Terms and Conditions, as amended, can be found on our website welovefurs.com/en under the menu item Terms & Conditions. The contractual language is English.
2. Conclusion of the Contract
You can shop and order textiles online on our website.
Our offers displayed on our website are non-binding. Your order of the requested products is regarded a binding offer for the conclusion of a purchase contract regarding the purchase of the respective product(s). Immediately after your offer was delivered to us, you will receive a notice of receipt which shall not be regarded an acceptance of your offer. We are therefore entitled to accept your offer within a maximum of 3 working days by delivering an order confirmation via email to you. Your order shall only be regarded accepted if we confirmed its acceptance. We reserve the right to refuse orders without stating reasons. Since many of our products are produced upon order, we in particular reserve the right to refuse the acceptance of orders for identical products in different sizes. If we don't accept your offer within 3 working days, the offer is refused. Any product not listed in the confirmation email shall not be included in the purchase contract.
3. Delivery
The term of delivery of any product can be found at its product site and starts one day after the day of confirmation if the total purchase price, including VAT and delivery charge, was credited to our account.
In case a product is not available or cannot be delivered within the declared time, we will inform you about the delivery date as soon as possible, or alternatively, that the delivery cannot be supplied. If we cannot supply goods ordered by you, independent of actual fault, because our supplier fails to perform his contractual duties, we expressively reserve the right to withdraw from the contract. In singular cases the delivery may take longer than the delivery term declared on the product site, however, no longer than 30 days.
4. Information regarding the Right to Withdraw from the Contract
4.1 Right of withdrawal for customers from the European Union
Within the EU you have the right to withdraw from the contract within a period of 14 days in written form (i.e. by letter, email, fax) without giving any reason. In order to guarantee the quickest handling of a withdrawal from a contract we kindly ask you to take the following two steps:

2) Please send the returns in the original packing with original label to the return address, that you find on your invoice.
Right of withdrawal for customers from the European Union
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the goods. To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us, WeLoveFurs GmbH, service@welovefurs.com; Vorgartenstraße 129-143 / 2 / 1; 1020 Vienna, Austria, of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). You may use the attached model withdrawal form, but it is not obligatory. You can also electronically fill in and submit the model withdrawal form or any other unequivocal statement on our website welovefurs.com/en/contact-us. If you use this option, we will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay. To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired.
You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

Our products are of very high quality. However, we note that fur is a natural product and hence may slightly change over the time. Some fur types may also lose little animal hair over the time.

WeLoveFurs jackets meet very high-quality standards. Therefore, for purchases of selected products made from 16.11.2023 onwards, we offer a voluntary 36-month warranty that goes beyond statutory warranty and guarantee standards. This warranty includes free repair or exchange for the following damage cases:
• seams between fur and leather parts, as well as on the outer material, that open up
• buttons that come loose or have defects
• zip defects
• tears in fur collars that have not occurred due to rough external impact
• fastening hooks or eyelets that come loose
• any other flaws or defects indicating a product not properly delivered

These notably include all down jackets, parka jackets, VOGUE & MAYA jackets, and VOGUE vests. The invoice with the purchase date serves as proof. To claim the warranty, simply send an email describing the flaw along with the order number to service@welovefurs.com.
Excluded from the warranty are the following cases:
• Tears or damage caused by external impact (e.g., if the jacket obviously catches and tears as a result)
• Stains or dirt of any kind
• Material discoloration due to external influences (exposure to sunlight, improper cleaning)
• Ordinary signs of use and wear (e.g., inner lining that slightly wears off or collects lint after a while of wearing; signs of use on the outer fabric, lint on knit materials)
• Clumped down fillings caused by improper cleaning and excessive drying duration
• Matted areas in the fur caused by repeated strong friction (e.g., sitting regularly on a fur jacket leading to such wear and tear)"
