The User can also register or log in to the Provider’s portal via the “Login” link.

The Customer shall notify the Provider of the cancellation of their order by sending an e-mail to _____@multaverbabooks.com.
The published Product images may deviate slightly from the actual situation, in particular, due to minor packaging changes by the Provider’s supplier, but also due to other peculiarities that arise when photographing the Products (different Product sizes, contrasts, resolution, etc.), which also depend on the Visitor’s software and hardware.

From that moment on, all the terms and conditions of the purchase shall be fixed and shall apply to both the Provider and the Customer.
The prices of the Products (including VAT) do not include delivery or shipping costs. Shipping and delivery costs are charged during the ordering process in the E-Commerce Store.

9. Discount vouchers and promotions
All special or promotional offers published on the Website shall apply within the terms and be subject to the conditions set out in the special or promotional offers.
The validity periods of the promotions shall be indicated next to the promotional offer itself and may vary.
Discount vouchers give Purchasers various benefits on their purchases and are time-limited. Discount vouchers cannot be purchased and can only be issued for a limited time as part of promotional campaigns. Discount vouchers are only valid for a certain period and can only be redeemed once during the online purchase process in the E-Commerce Store. Individual Goods or Products may be excluded from discount vouchers.
In the cart, the User or Visitor may redeem the voucher/coupon by entering the code on the voucher in the discount code field. A voucher may be redeemed in the “View Cart”, and the “Checkout/Complete Purchase” steps of the Payment Methods before the ordering process is completed. Later redemption of the voucher shall not be possible. As only one code can be applied to each purchase, another can only be entered in the field when the first code is removed. When a valid code is entered, the discount shall automatically be applied to the Products for which it is more favourable than any other promotional discount. The voucher’s balance can not be paid out in cash, nor does it earn interest. For administrative reasons, it shall not be possible to issue the remaining credit balance.
Discount vouchers cannot be transferred to third parties. Multiple discount vouchers cannot be combined. The discount code only reduces the regular price of the Products; thus, the discounts are not cumulative.
If the promotional voucher balance is insufficient to cover the order, the difference can be settled using the payment methods offered. If the Goods are returned in whole or in part, and a counter-service has been made, the promotional voucher issued in the context of the promotional campaign shall not be refunded.
If a Customer redeems a discount code but later cancels the order with the redeemed code of their own free will, they shall no longer be entitled to the discount code.
Please refer to the valid vouchers for details on the current promotion conditions and the redemption of vouchers.
Example of a promotion: Special offer for purchases over EUR 20. Applies to each purchase of a product with a value over EUR 20 (incl. VAT) or to a single purchase of several products with a total value over EUR 20 (incl. VAT). For purchases over EUR 20, the Purchaser may choose one gift in the value of EUR14 (incl. VAT).

The special offer ___________________ (special offer code) applies to the purchase of each _______________.

VAT) from a range of gifts to be determined by the Provider. The Provider reserves the right to determine and change the range of Products from the E-Commerce Store that are available as a gift.

- a contract for non-permanent accommodation, transport of goods, hire of vehicles, preparation and delivery of food, or leisure services, in which the Company undertakes to fulfil its obligation on a specified date or within a specified period;
- a contract for the supply of digital content which is not delivered in a tangible medium provided that the provision of the service has been initiated based on the Consumer’s express prior consent and with the understanding that they shall thereby lose the right to withdraw from the contract.
The Consumer shall be informed of the right to withdraw from the contract and the instructions on how to withdraw from the purchase and return the Products in an e-mail upon receipt of the order.
The withdrawal period (withdrawal notice) shall start to run on the day after the date of receipt of the Goods (when the Consumer or a third party other than the carrier, appointed for this purpose by the Consumer in the case of a contract for the delivery of Goods consisting of several consignments or deliveries, takes physical possession of the Goods).
The Consumer must return the Goods to the Company within 14 days of the Consumer’s written notice of withdrawal. For the withdrawal period to be respected, it shall be sufficient that the notice concerning the exercise of the Consumer’s right of withdrawal is sent before the expiry of the withdrawal period. The return of the Goods received to the Provider within the withdrawal period shall constitute a notification of withdrawal from the contract. Products may be returned by post to the Company’s address.
The Products must be unused and undamaged. They must be accompanied by an invoice. The cost of returning the Goods shall be borne by the Customer. The Customer shall be entitled to a full refund of the purchase price if the Product is in like-new condition, in its original packaging and with all related accessories, instructions, manuals, and everything else that accompanies the Product. The Consumer shall only be liable for the diminished value of the Goods due to handling, which is not strictly necessary to determine their nature, characteristics and performance. If the Customer has already started using the Product, withdrawal from the contract shall not be possible. The manufacturer also prescribes the product’s original packaging (in accordance with Article 36 of the Consumer Protection Act). As the packaging is an integral part of the Product, it must also be enclosed in its original condition at the time of receipt (i.e. undamaged and unchanged).
In the event of any damage or signs of wear and tear, reduced quantity, etc., the Provider reserves the right to refuse the refund or to refund only part of the purchase price. The Provider advises Customers to take out shipping insurance and to pack the Goods as carefully as possible.
The Provider shall refund the full purchase price (the purchase price plus delivery costs, excluding any additional costs due to the choice of a delivery method other than the most cost-effective standard form of delivery offered by the Company) as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after receipt of the Consumer’s notice of withdrawal. Such a refund shall be made by crediting the Purchaser’s transaction account or using the same means of payment as used for the original transaction, as far as this is possible due to its nature unless otherwise agreed (e.g. the Consumer has indicated that they want a refund in the form of a credit on their next purchase). The Company may withhold payment in the cases and within the time limits set out in the Consumer Protection Act.
13. Asserting material defects
The Provider must deliver the Goods to the Consumer in accordance with the contract and shall be liable for material defects in its performance in accordance with the Consumer Protection Act.
The Customer may exercise their rights under the material defect if they notify the Company of the defect within two months of the date on which the defect was discovered. The Company shall not be liable for material defects in the Goods that arise after two years since the Goods have been delivered.
A defect shall be deemed material if:
- the Provider has delivered an Product that does not match the sample or model, unless the sample or model was shown for information purposes only;
- the Product does not have the characteristics necessary for the specific use for which the Customer is purchasing it, which were known or should have been known to the Provider;
- the Product does not have the characteristics necessary for its regular use or placing in circulation;
- the Product does not have the characteristics and features that were expressly or tacitly agreed or prescribed.
The suitability of a Product shall be compared to normal Goods of the same type and in the light of any representations made by the Provider or the manufacturer about the characteristics of the Goods, in particular through advertising, the presentation of the Product or indications on the Goods themselves.
The Customer must notify the Provider of any material defect, together with a detailed description of the defect, at the Customer’s expense and within the statutory time limit and allow the Provider to inspect the Goods. The right to claim that a Product is defective in a material respect is regulated in more detail by the Consumer Protection Act.
A Consumer who has duly notified the Provider of a defect shall have the right to request the Provider to:
- rectify the defect in the Goods; or
- refund a part of the amount paid in proportion to the defect; or
- replace the defective Goods with new, faultless Goods; or
- refund the full amount paid.
In any event, the Consumer shall also have the right to claim damages from the Provider, and in particular, the reimbursement of the costs of materials, spare parts, labour, transfer and transport of the Products incurred as a result of the fulfilment of the obligation referred to in the preceding paragraph of this Article.
The Consumer’s rights under paragraph 1 shall lapse on the expiry of two years from the date the Consumer informed the Provider of the material defect.
14. Purchases by legal entities
The purchase process for legal entities (enterprises, sole proprietors and other legal entities) shall be the same as for natural persons, except that the legal entity selects the option Buying as a legal entity and confirms the acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions.
If a legal entity wishes to have the invoice made out to the company, it accepts the terms and conditions applicable to companies. The main difference is in the right to withdraw from the contract: Enterprisers, sole proprietors and other legal entities shall not have the option to withdraw from the contract within 14 days of taking delivery of the Goods without stating a reason, as is the case for Consumers (natural persons). Refunds shall also not be possible for legal entities.
15. Security and privacy
The E-Commerce Store provides all the necessary technological and organisational solutions for complete purchase security. The transmission of sensitive personal and transaction data on the Website is carried out securely using the SSL (SecureSocketsLayer) protocol. The data are encrypted and transmitted to the Provider’s server in a protected format.
The Provider values the privacy of its Purchasers and always protects their personal data carefully. The Provider undertakes to permanently protect, collect and process all User’s personal data in accordance with the provisions of the applicable legislation on the protection of personal data.

Since the processing of these data is necessary for the performance of the service itself, the processing of these data takes place on the grounds of the Customer entering into a contractual relationship with the Provider. The legal grounds for the lawful processing of personal data is the performance of a contract to which the Data Subject is a party or the performance of measures at the request of such Data Subject prior to entering into the contract.
The personal data provided shall only be used by authorised employees of Multa Verba Books. The personal data of the Purchaser shall only be disclosed to the following (contractual) partners or data processors: Mail carriers or shipping service providers, IT service providers in the context of the servicing and maintenance of the software or the Website administrator and webmaster, and accounting service providers.

The Provider shall never knowingly collect personal data from minors or use or disclose such data in any way to a third party without their permission.
Advertising messages shall be marked as such (and be age-appropriate) and clearly separated from games and competitions. Any communication aimed at children shall be age-appropriate and shall not exploit children’s trust, lack of experience or sense of loyalty. The Provider may not accept orders from someone it knows or suspects to be a child without the explicit consent of the child’s parents or guardians. The Provider shall not accept or process any personal data concerning a child under the age prescribed by applicable law without the explicit consent of the parents or guardians of the child. Nor may the Provider disclose the data received from children to any third party, with the exception of parents or guardians. The Provider must not offer free access to products or services that are harmful to children.
16. Limitation of liability
The Provider shall use its best endeavours to ensure that the information published on the Website is up-to-date and correct. However, the characteristics of the Products, the delivery time, or the price can change quickly, so the Provider may not be able to correct the information on the Website in time. In such cases, the Provider shall inform the Customer of the changes appropriately and allow the Customer to withdraw from the contract or exchange the ordered Product.
The Provider shall not accept liability:
- for any consequences that may arise from the use of the Website or E-Commerce Store and the content contained therein;
- in connection with the consequences caused by the information or data contained on the Website or E-Commerce Store;
- for any computer viruses or harmful programs that may be transmitted to Users from the Website or E-Commerce Store, and recommends that Users protect themselves against computer viruses with appropriate software before downloading information or content from the Website or E-Commerce Store;
- for any hardware or software malfunctions of Users of the Website or E-Commerce Store;
- for the Website or E-Commerce Store not functioning from time to time, for any inaccuracy of the information or any damage caused by the use of inaccurate or incomplete information;

The Provider or any other person involved in the creation and production of the Website or E-Commerce Store shall not be liable for any damages arising from:

- any errors or omissions in their content.
Users may use the content of the Website or E-Commerce Store of the Provider exclusively for personal and non-commercial purposes.

Users shall use all published content at their own risk. The Provider reserves the right to refer users to other websites and accepts no responsibility for their content.
The photographs and videos published are symbolic and do not guarantee the Product’s characteristics.
The Provider shall not be liable for the content of Product reviews written by Visitors. The Provider shall not be responsible for the information in the opinions and shall accept no liability whatsoever arising from the information in the opinions.
The Provider reserves the right to amend these General Terms and Conditions at any time and without prior notice.
17. Copyright
Visitors, Users, Purchasers and Customers are prohibited from reproducing, distributing, renting, making available to the public and other forms of communication to the public, modifying or otherwise exploiting the Products as copyrighted work or any part thereof, to any extent or in any process.
The Visitor, User, Purchaser and Customer undertake not to distribute copyrighted content or content owned by another legal or natural person.
18. Communication
The Visitor, User, Purchaser and Customer may contact the Provider regarding the purchase or other information related to the Provider’s services via the online form located under the “Contact” tab, by telephone, by e-mail or by post according to the published contact details of the Provider.
The Provider may contact the User, the Purchaser and the Customer at the e-mail address or telephone number provided by the User, Purchaser or Customer at the time of registering on the Website or at the time of ordering the Product regarding the purchase or other information necessary for the transaction.
The Provider may inform the Visitor who subscribes to the newsletter on the Website, and the User, Purchaser and Customer who have expressly consented to this type of communication of current promotions and campaigns.
Promotional e-mails must be clearly and unambiguously marked as such. The sender must be clearly visible. The Provider shall unconditionally respect the User’s wish not to receive advertising messages. The User may send their request not to receive advertising messages by e-mail to _____@multaverbabooks.com or by post to the Provider’s address.
19. Complaint and dispute resolution
The Provider shall comply with applicable consumer protection legislation. The Provider shall make every effort to comply with its obligation to have in place an effective complaint-handling system and to designate a person who can be contacted in the event of an issue at ___________ or by email at _____@multaverbabooks.com. Consumers can also submit a complaint online at http://multaverbabooks.com/_______ or by post to the Provider’s address. The complaint procedure is confidential.
The Provider must acknowledge receipt of the complaint within five working days, tell the Consumer how long it will take to process the complaint and keep the Consumer informed of the status of the complaint.
The Provider is aware that an essential feature of consumer litigation, at least as far as judicial settlement is concerned, is the disproportion between the economic value of the claim and the costs incurred in settling the dispute itself. This is also the main obstacle to the Customer bringing a dispute before the courts. The Provider shall therefore use its best endeavours to settle any disputes amicably or in an out-of-court settlement procedure, but should this not be possible, the disputes shall be settled by a court having competent jurisdiction in Ljubljana.
Disputes arising out of an order for E-Commerce Store services shall be governed by the law of the Republic of Slovenia, regardless of the place of delivery.
20. Out-of-court settlement of consumer disputes
The Provider does not recognise any out-of-court consumer dispute resolution providers.
The link to the consumer online dispute resolution platform is https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/odr/main/index.cfm?event=main.home.show&lng=SL.
These rules are based on the Out-of-Court Settlement of Consumer Disputes Act, Regulation (EU) No 524/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on online dispute resolution for consumer disputes and amending Regulation (EC) No 2016/2004 and Directive 2009/22/EC.
21. Final provisions

The Controller of personal data within the meaning of this Policy is the Controller or Provider of the E-Commerce Store or the Multa Verba Books Website: STELLENIA, svetovanje in trgovina, d.o.o., Gogalova ulica 12, 1000 Ljubljana, Registration number: 8999660000, VAT ID number:: SI 45211086 (hereinafter referred to as the “Controller”).
A Visitor is any natural person or legal entity who visits the Website or E-Commerce Store (hereinafter referred to as the “Visitor”).
A User of the E-Commerce store is anyone who registers on the Website or in the E-Commerce Store and uses the E-Commerce Store system (hereinafter referred to as the “User”). By registering, the Visitor becomes a User of the Website. The Visitor may register at any time during their visit to the Website by clicking the “Register or Login” link or during the purchase process.

A Purchaser of the goods or products is a Visitor or User who places an order through the E-Commerce Store to purchase products from the E-Commerce Store (hereinafter referred to as the “Purchaser”). By placing an order, the Visitor or User of the Website becomes a Purchaser of the goods.

A Customer of the goods or products is a Purchaser whose order is confirmed by an electronic message by the Controller or the Provider (hereinafter referred to as the “Customer”). Upon receipt of the e-mail confirming receipt of the order, the Purchaser becomes a Customer.

A Data Subject is a common identifier for the Visitor, User, Purchaser and Customer whose data are being processed.

The provision of personal data of Data Subjects is generally based on their freely given consent. The provision of certain personal data may be marked as mandatory on the Website, particularly where the Controller cannot fulfil the order or transaction without them. If the Data Subject does not wish to provide the data identified as mandatory for registration, the Data Subject will not be able to use certain services (e.g. make a purchase on our Website, etc.).
The Controller does not restrict or condition the Data Subject’s ability to communicate, register or place orders on the Website on their consent to use their data for direct marketing purposes (notification of special offers, novelties, campaigns and promotions). An exception is a subscription to the newsletter, in which case the Visitor must expressly consent to the use of the personal data for direct marketing purposes.

What personal data are processed
1.) Visitor’s access data to the Website are recorded in accordance with the Cookie Policy. The Website Operator informs Visitors about the use of cookies when they first visit the Website, obtains consent where necessary for their installation and allows Visitors to adjust their cookie settings at any time.
Cookies are small text files stored by a web server on the computer disk of a Visitor to the Website or E-Commerce Store that protect certain information on the hard drive or other location on the computer. The main purpose of a cookie is to store Visitor preferences and other information on their computer so that the Visitor does not need to enter them again the next time they visit the Website or E-Commerce Store. This means that your web browser “remembers” certain settings. Cookies also help us understand how you use our Website. Some web browsers offer the option of notifying you when cookies are set and to reject cookies; if you use this option, some of our Website’s features may not be fully available.
You can set your browser to notify you when cookies are set and choose to accept them or to turn off the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or in general (if you do not accept cookies, you may limit the functionality of our Website). If you access a third-partylink via a link on our Website, cookies may be handled there again. Our Privacy Policy applies only to our Website.
The Website also uses so-called “strictly mandatory cookies”. These are cookies that are used to store content on a page as you browse or between visits to our Website. They are used, e.g. for “My Cart” to work properly and securely; to enable an indicator that checks whether a User is logged in or not and regulates the User’s rights on that basis; and more.
Strictly necessary cookies are enabled at all times because they are necessary for the basic operation (i.e. functionality) of the Website, and the Website would not function properly without them.
The Website also uses cookies to optimise the loading speed of the Website. The cookie tells the Website if there has been a cache refresh since the last visit and, if necessary, triggers a page refresh instead of using a temporarily stored version of the page.
Strictly necessary cookies can only be disabled by the Visitor by changing the browser settings. The procedure for managing and deleting cookies varies depending on the browser used by the Visitor. Most browsers provide instructions on deleting and managing cookies in the “Help” function. Instructions on how to manage and delete cookies are available at www.aboutcookies.org, which explains step by step how cookies can be managed or deleted depending on different browsers.

Performance of contracts
If a Visitor registers on the E-Commerce Store, the Controller manages the Visitor’s identification details, such as in particular the contact details and the settings on the “My Profile” tab, to be able to provide the User with the use of the E-Commerce Store service, in particular, to enable the User to place an order in the E-Commerce Store. These data are used throughout the existence of the user account, which can be deleted at any time under the “My Profile” tab.
