If the products are delivered outside EU (European Union), the buyer is responsible of all eventual taxes, customs duties, importation and other fees. Customs practices vary by countries. You find more information at local customs. If the product needs to be customs cleared, the buyer is responsible for every cost related and understands that customs declaration can cause delays in delivery.
Varuste.net reserves the right to cancel the order in case of obvious pricing errors, in other words when the declared price differs significantly from the actual price of the product. Examples of obvious pricing errors:
  • if the price is 0,00 € or there is no price at all
  • if the price of the tent worth of hundreds of euros is 39,90 €, for example (comma mistakes)
In these cases, the erroneous price differs so much from the actual price that the customers can reasonably be supposed to undestand that there is an error.

Delivery time
