In the event that the User purchases a product that has not yet been released, but already has a release date, the shipping times will be provisional and modifiable, and will be subject to the number of units per product that the suppliers have at any given time. In such a case, we will contact you to inform you of the variations in such products, as well as the possibility of end the contract.
In some cases, there may be a lack of stock. Our staff will contact you to give you a solution and to inform you of the delivery time once the selected product is available, or to terminate the contract if you wish.
IMPORTANT: In general, we are not responsible for non-compliance or delay of obligations due to causes beyond our control, such as in case of force majeure (confinement by alarm state, for example), natural disasters, strikes, accidents, etc. If any incident arises, we will contact you to resolve the issue.
Prices, taxes, tariffs and duties
Prices are expressed in Euros. Prices for “Carrera y Carrera” products may vary, but any changes will not affect orders for which a Shipping Confirmation has already been sent.
The final price of the products purchased may vary depending on the applicable taxes in each case, or depending on the shipping address and profile of the buyer (private or professional).

- The retail price of items with a delivery address in mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands includes VAT.

Returns
Here at Carrera y Carrera, we want you to be satisfied with your order. For this reason, we offer you various methods you can use to return an item that does not meet your needs or expectations. Possible cases of return include:
A. The product is incorrect, it has a defect, or it has been damaged during transport:
We take special care to ensure all of our items and deliveries are in perfect condition. However, if you receive an incorrect item, please get in touch with us as soon as possible to fix it. Before opening the product, check that the packaging matches what you have requested: colour, size, finish, etc.
If the products received have any defect or deterioration, we will respond to the lack of conformity as set out in the “Guarantees” section within these conditions of sale.
If the product has been damaged during transport, it is essential that you inform us and, if it’s possible, you note the incident on the carrier’s delivery note.
Products must be returned such that they are protected, within a box or protective bag. Carrera y Carrera makes available to the buyer a delivery company for the return of goods with a completely free service. If you wish to return goods using a delivery company different to the carrier suggested by Carrera y Carrera, and the delivery company you choose offers higher rates, you must pay the difference in transport costs.
B. Right to return:
We don’t want you to end up with something you don’t like, for which reason you can return an item if it doesn’t meet your expectations. To do so, in accordance with the provisions of the Consumer Rights Act, and provided that you are an individual buyer, you have the right to return goods, provided that the product is not a digital product that you have already started to download.
To exercise this right to return goods, you must do so within a maximum of FOURTEEN (14) calendar days of receiving your order. You must inform us, by emailing info@carreraycarrera.com, of your decision to return the purchase made (to do so, you may use the following return form model, if you wish). [ADJUNTAR MODELO DE DESISTIMIENTO QUE HAY AL FINAL DE ESTE DOCUMENTO]
In order to exercise this right, the product must be found in perfect condition, and preferably retain the original packaging, along with all of its parts. In case the products do not arrive in perfect condition, do not include all their parts and accessories, or do not keep their original packaging, Carrera y Carrera reserves the right to pay a lower amount in the return, a circumstance that will be notified to you.
The refund of the amount paid will be made once the condition of the product has been checked. The refund will be made using the same payment method used to make the purchase and, in any case, it will take place within a maximum of 14 calendar days from when the return request is reliably received, provided that Carrera y Carrera is managing collection of the item. If you return an item using a delivery company of your choice, the time frame of 14 days will be counted from when Carrera y Carrera has effective knowledge of the goods being sent or, failing this, when they are received.
Return delivery costs resulting from the right to return will be payable by the buyer.
C. If you have not yet received your order:
If you have not yet received your order and you wish to cancel or amend it, simply inform us of the changes you wish to make. This will not involve any extra costs if your order has not yet been processed.

Guarantees
Given the special features of all or some of the products marketed by Carrera y Carrera on its website, there are slight differences between each product or service acquired, mainly owing to the unique and exclusive nature of each and every one of the materials and stones used in their preparation, which mainly involves handcrafting techniques. For this reason, there are no two Carrera y Carrera products or services exactly the same and, in any case, it is inevitable that the product delivered to the customer will differ slightly from the item shown in the photographs included in the website’s purchase process (even if the same one is used). Under no circumstances will these differences involve the delivery of products or services of worse material quality than those mentioned expressly on the website. In addition, the customer is hereby informed and aware that the size of the photographs contained on the portal does not correspond to the real size of the Carrera y Carrera products offered, while the colour range offered in items may vary to that received, owing mainly to the differences in the configuration and quality of screens used to view the website.
Consequently, the customer is hereby informed of and they expressly consent to these circumstances and differences, which may not be used as a reason to terminate the contract.
We will address nonconformities. The buyer must inform us of these within two months of identifying them.
If the defect or nonconformity were to arise in the first 2 years following delivery of the item, it will be assumed that the defect or nonconformity already existed when the product was purchased (or delivered, if this was later), meaning that a manufacturing defect exists, unless we can demonstrate that the defect or nonconformity is not a manufacturing defect, but rather, for example, it is owed to misuse or poor maintenance by the buyer.
On the other hand, if the defect or nonconformity were to arise after those 2 years, it will be presumed that a manufacturing defect does not exist.
In the event of a defective product, we may proceed, where applicable, to repair it, replace it, reduce its price, or terminate the product. These procedures will be free to the buyer (including transport costs, where applicable).
Therefore, defects and deterioration that occur due to external events, accidents, wear and tear, or use that does not conform to our instructions or those of the manufacturer (misuse) are excluded from the guarantee. In addition, products modified or repaired by the customer or any other person not authorised by Carrera y Carrera. In these cases, the consumer will be responsible for their repair.
a) They adapt to the description provided and possess the product qualities presented to the consumer and User in the form of a sample or model.
b) They are suitable for the uses that similar products are ordinarily used for.
c) They present the usual quality and capabilities of a product of the same type that the consumer and User may reasonably expect in view of the product’s nature.
Dispute resolution
As required by new European regulations, the User is hereby informed of the existence of a European platform for online dispute resolution. Thus, in order to resolve consumer disputes (pursuant to Art. 14.1 of Regulation (EU) 524/2013), you can access European Commission’s online dispute resolution platform via the following link: https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/odr/main/?event=main.home.show&lng=ES
