9.1 Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product before checkout are exclusive of any applicable Sales Tax. The amount of Sales Tax chargeable will be confirmed at checkout based on your delivery address. We take care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However, please see clause 9.4 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order. We offer alternative payment options with Affirm and ShopPay US, Inc. If you would like to know more about these options, visit https://www.Affirm.com/uk/smoooth/ here for Affirm and https://www.clearpay.co.uk/en-GB/how-it-works here for ShopPay US, Inc. Please note that additional terms and conditions will apply if you choose either of these options.
9.2 We may change the price of our products. Sometimes we need to update the price of some of our products. When this happens, we will update the prices on our website and our app. If you placed your order for a product before the price change, the price will be as stated on our website or our app (as applicable) at the time when you placed your order.
9.3 What happens if we get the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, if the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognized by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any products provided to you.
9.4 When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment by Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal and Apple Pay. We will not charge you until we dispatch the products to you, although the price payable by you for the products may appear as pending transactions against the payment method you use.
We also offer the option for you to purchase using ShopPay US, Inc in the form of ‘pay in instalments’. ShopPay allows you to pay in four interest free instalments of equal value, every 2 weeks. No interest is applied provided that all instalments are paid on time.
The availability of this option to you is subject to approval by ShopPay.
Please note that we reserve the right to withdraw or suspend these options with ShopPay at any time at our sole discretion.

10.1 From time to time we will release discount codes (“Codes”) via email or other marketing channels. These Codes will allow a discount to be applied to a new order at the e1ktaigen.com US store. To apply a Code please enter it (and remember to click “apply”) where specified during the check-out process.
10.2 Please note:
10.2.1 Codes are valid for a limited period of time as specified in the relevant email or marketing communication; they cannot be used outside of that time period.

10.2.5 Codes cannot be applied towards delivery charges.

Where a qualifying spend is noted in relation to use of a Code, if items purchased using that Code are later returned to us which brings the amount spent below any qualifying level, the offer value may be deducted from any refund. This does not affect your statutory rights. A discount will not be applied to items subsequently replaced.

11 Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you
11.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable only if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen.
11.2 We are not responsible to you for unforeseeable loss or damage. This excludes liability for consequential, special, incidental, or indirect damages, including without limitation for any lost profits or lost data, in connection with or arising under the contract, or for the performance of the products, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
11.3 If we are found to be liable to you for any damage or loss our liability shall not exceed US$100.00. This limit would apply to any liability which is in any way connected with or arising out of the contract or our products or your use of the website or our app.
11.4 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products (including the right to receive products which are: as described and match information we provided to you; of satisfactory quality; fit for any particular purpose made known to us; and supplied with reasonable skill and care); and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987. Some jurisdictions do not permit certain limitations or exclusions on liabilities, legal warranties and remedies, so these exclusions/limitations in this Section 10 may not apply to you.
11.5 We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the products for private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

13.2 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.

13.6 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
13.7 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) does not apply.
