- If You have placed Your Order without completing Our Order Form through Online Platform, We will contact You in writing to confirm that We are able to provide the Product(s) requested and will provide you with a copy of these terms. These terms govern the supply of the Products. If you do not agree to the terms, please inform us immediately upon receiving a copy of these terms.

3. Delivery of products
- Delivery of the Products shall be made to Your address or such delivery address included in the Order Form or, where an Order Form is not used, as is notified by You at the time of placing Your Order. This address will be restated within the Order Confirmation. If the delivery is by courier with a signature required, You shall make all arrangements necessary to take delivery of the Products when they are tendered for delivery. Time and date of delivery shall not be of the essence of this Agreement (as defined in paragraph 8 herein) unless previously agreed by Us in writing. You will be contacted with an estimated delivery date, which shall be within ten (10) calendar days after the day on which we issue Your Order Confirmation. We will use reasonable endeavors to complete Our delivery to You, but occasionally Our delivery to You may be affected by an event outside of our control, in which case we will notify You as soon as reasonably possible and Our obligations under these terms will be suspended and the time for performance of Our obligations will be extended for the duration of the event. Where necessary, We will arrange a new delivery date with you after the event is over. Delivery of an Order shall be complete when We deliver the Product(s) to the address You gave Us and the Product(s) will be Your responsibility from that time, as further set out at clause 5 below.
- lf You fail to take delivery of the Products or fail to give Us adequate delivery instructions, (other than by reason of any cause beyond Your reasonable control or by reason of Our fault) and fail to collect or arrange for re-delivery within three (3) working days of the date of our last attempted delivery, then We may store the Products until actual delivery and charge You for the reasonable costs (including insurance) of storage. You will then have up to three (3) working days to let Us know if You still want the goods, and would like Us to attempt re-delivery (to the same or a different address). If You notify Us that You would like Us to re-deliver after the second attempt, We may have to charge You again for the delivery.

ii. You can show that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account the relevant circumstances); or
iii. You told Us before We accepted Your Order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.
If You do not wish to cancel Your Order straight away, or do not have the right to do so as set out immediately above, You can give Us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and You can cancel Your Order if we do not meet the new deadline. If You do choose to cancel Your Order for late delivery under this clause 3, you can do so for just some of the Product(s) or all of them, unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. If the Product(s) have been delivered to You, You will have to return them to Us or allow Us to collect them, and We will pay the cost of this. After You cancel Your Order We will refund any sums You have paid to Us for the cancelled Product(s) and their delivery.

Any written statement must be communicated with us via email at malaysia@customercare.vorwerk.com.
Upon receipt of Your written statement, we will confirm your cancellation in writing.

Once Your cancellation has been confirmed by Us in writing, we will refund to You the Price paid. This includes any delivery charges (except for any supplementary costs arising if You choose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by Us). We will make reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than:
i. fourteen (14) calendar days after the day We receive back from You the Product(s) supplied; or
ii. if there were no Product(s) ever dispatched, fourteen (14) calendar days after the day on which we are informed about Your decision to cancel this contract.
- Our right to change Our mind: We may have to cancel an Order before the Product(s) are delivered, due to an event outside our control or the unavailability of stock. If this happens, we will promptly contact You to let You know and, if You have made any payment in advance for the Product(s) that have not been delivered to You, We will refund these amounts to You.
