All orders are subject to acceptance and availability, and items in your shopping basket are not reserved and may be purchased by other customers.
SV CASA offers products for sale that are in stock and available for dispatch from our warehouse in Hong Kong and / or products which are Made To Order and may take up to 45 days to be manufactured and dispatched from a warehouse in the Philippines. For products which are Made To Order, SV CASA will need to receive your full payment before commencing manufacturing for your order.
Made To Order will be processed on a First Come First Serve basis
SV CASA will store a record of your transactions for a minimum of one year.
PRICING POLICY
Prices shown on the Site are in US Dollars (USD $).
Taxes and duties are estimates according to your shipping destination and itemized on the Order Summary page.
Most countries are shipped to on a DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) basis, which means that all relevant import taxes and duties will be included in the product price.
If you are shipping to a DDU (Delivery Duty Unpaid) destination, product prices displayed are exclusive of all taxes and duties. As the recipient, you are liable for all import duties, customs and local sales taxes levied by the country you are shipping to. Import duty or tax costs will be invoiced to you directly by the courier or an import broker appointed by you, and payment of these is necessary to release your order from customs on arrival. Please look out for an email in case we need to contact you to ensure timely dispatch of your order.
All prices and offers remain valid as advertised from time to time. The US Dollars price of a product displayed on the Site at the time the order is accepted will be honoured, except in cases of patent error.
From time to time, prices are subject to change in response to currency exchange rate changes, markdowns and other commercial factors. The price applicable to your order will be the price current at the time your order is accepted.
If you are a customer whose credit/debit card is not denominated in US Dollars, the final price will be calculated in accordance with the applicable exchange rate on the day your card issuer processes the transaction.
ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR ORDER
Once you have made your choice and your order has been placed, you will receive an email acknowledging the details of your order. This email is NOT an acceptance of your order, just a confirmation that we have received it.
Unless you cancel your order, acceptance of your order and completion of the contract between you and SV CASA will be completed once the products have been dispatched. The sale contract is therefore concluded in Hong Kong and the language of the contract is English. Neither our third party payment processor nor our nominated courier has the authority to accept an order on behalf of SV CASA.
We reserve the right not to accept your order in the event, for example, that we are unable to obtain authorization for payment, that shipping restrictions apply to a particular item, that the item ordered is out of stock or does not satisfy our quality control standards and is withdrawn, or that you do not meet the eligibility criteria set out within the TOS.
We may also refuse to process and therefore accept a transaction for any reason or refuse service to anyone at any time at our sole discretion. We will not be liable to you or any third party by reason of our withdrawing any merchandise from the Site whether or not that merchandise has been sold, removing, screening or editing any materials or content on the Site, refusing to process a transaction or unwinding or suspending any transaction after processing has begun.
Whilst every effort is made to make sure details on our website are accurate, we may from time to time discover an error in the pricing of products. If we discover an error in the pricing of a product in your order, we will let you know as soon as possible. We shall be under no obligation to accept or fulfil an order for a product that was advertised at an incorrect price and reserve the right to cancel such an order that has been accepted or is in transit. If you order a product that is priced incorrectly for any reason, we will email or telephone you to inform you that we have not accepted your order and/or that the relevant part of your order has been cancelled. If you have already paid for the goods, we shall refund the full amount as soon as we are able. In the event that products are recalled in transit, we will process your refund once the products have been returned to us.
PAYMENT
Payment can be made by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and any other methods which may be clearly advertised on the Site from time to time. You can also choose to pay with PayPal. When selecting this option at checkout, you will be directed to the PayPal site to ‘Log In’ and review the amount shown before clicking ‘Pay Now’. Once this transaction is complete, you will then return to SV CASA.COM. Payment will be debited and cleared from your account upon dispatch of your order by SV CASA. You confirm that the credit/debit card that is being used is yours or that you have been specifically authorised by the owner of the credit/debit card to use it. All credit/debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorization by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorize payment to SV CASA, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.
Furthermore, we take reasonable care, in so far as it is in our power to do so, to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorized access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the Site.
PROMOTION CODES & DESIGNER CODE
Promotion codes are non-transferable and there is no cash alternative. Furthermore, they cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotion code or offers, and must be redeemed by the date published, if provided.
SV CASA has the right to revoke or refuse a Promotion Code for any reason or refuse service to anyone at any time at our sole discretion.
INSURANCE AND DELIVERY
You will own the goods on and from the later of the point in time when: (a) we receive payment in full, or (b) we deliver the goods to you.
SV CASA insures each purchase during the time it is in transit until it is delivered to your specified delivery address. We require a signature for any goods delivered, at which point responsibility for your purchased goods passes to you. If you have specified a recipient who is not you for delivery purposes (for example as a gift) then you accept that evidence of a signature by them (or at that delivery address) is evidence of delivery and fulfillment by SV CASA, and transfer of responsibility in the same way. The goods are your responsibility from the time we deliver them to the address you gave us.
Delivery times appearing on the Site are estimates and are to be used as a guide only and commence from the date of dispatch. In any event, we will deliver the goods to you within 45 days of production + 10 days for shipment. SV CASA is not responsible for any delays caused by destination customs clearance processes, courier error or other logistic issues.
If delivery is delayed by any event outside of our control, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimize the effect of the delay. Provided we do this, we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to cancel your order and we will give you a refund for any goods you have paid for but not received.
