These General Terms and Conditions apply to every offer made by the Seller and to every distance contract and order between the Seller and the Customer.

The General Terms and Conditions are made available to the customer before the distance contract is concluded. By placing an order through sokaswim.com, the customer agrees to these terms and conditions.

Article 4 - The offer

If an offer has a limited period of validity or is subject to certain conditions, this will be clearly stated.

The offer contains a complete and accurate description of the products and/or services offered. Obvious errors in the offer do not bind the seller.

Illustrations, specifications, product photos, descriptions, and information in the offer are for illustrative purposes only and do not give rise to any right to compensation or dissolution of the agreement.

Article 5 - The contract

The agreement is concluded when the customer accepts the offer and fulfills the necessary conditions.

In the event of electronic acceptance, the seller will immediately confirm receipt of the acceptance electronically. As long as receipt of the acceptance has not been confirmed, the customer can dissolve the contract.

The seller shall take appropriate measures to protect electronic data transmission and to provide a safe online purchasing environment.

Article 6 - Right of withdrawal

When purchasing products, the customer has the right to withdraw from the contract within 30 days without giving any reason. The period begins on the day after the customer receives the product.

During this period, the customer must handle the product and packaging with care and only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to decide whether to keep it.

The customer must notify the seller in writing or by email of the intention to exercise the right of withdrawal within 30 days of receiving the product. This can be done by contacting admin@sokaswim.com.

After this notification, the customer has a further 30 days to return the product and provide proof of timely shipment. In the absence of notification or return within the established deadlines, the purchase will be considered final.

Article 7 - Cancellation costs

In the event of exercising the right of withdrawal, the consumer shall bear the costs of returning the product, unless otherwise stated or required by applicable law.

The entrepreneur will refund the amount paid by the consumer within 5 days of receipt of the return shipment, provided that the product has been returned in full or that there is sufficient proof of complete return.

Article 8 - Exclusion of the right of withdrawal

The trader may exclude the consumer's right of withdrawal for certain products, provided that this is clearly and promptly stated in the offer before the contract is concluded.

This applies in particular to customized products, personal items, non-returnable or perishable goods, products with price fluctuations on the financial market, opened audio and video recordings, software, and hygiene products whose packaging has been opened.

Also excluded are services with specific terms or services that have already begun with the consumer's consent before the end of the withdrawal period, as well as bets and lotteries.

For hygiene and safety reasons, certain swimwear or intimate items may be excluded from return once opened, worn, used, washed, or removed from protective packaging.

Article 9 - Prices

During the period of validity of the offer, the prices of products and services will not be increased, except for changes in VAT rates or other legally required changes.

Price increases within 3 months of the conclusion of the agreement are only permitted if they are required by law. After 3 months, price increases are only permitted if the consumer agrees or has the right to terminate the contract.

Deliveries outside the EU may be subject to customs duties, import taxes, or administrative costs by postal or courier services.

Printing errors, typographical errors, and obvious pricing mistakes remain reserved. The entrepreneur is not obliged to deliver products at an incorrect price.

Article 10 - Conformity and guarantee

The entrepreneur guarantees that the products and services comply with the agreement, the specifications stated in the offer, the usual standards of quality and use, and applicable legal provisions.

Defects must be reported in writing within 30 days of delivery by contacting admin@sokaswim.com.

The warranty period corresponds to the manufacturer's warranty, and the entrepreneur is not liable for the suitability of the products for specific applications or purposes.

The warranty is void in the event of self-repairs, improper use, exposure to unsuitable conditions, damage caused by misuse, or breaches of instructions and regulations.

Article 11 - Delivery and execution

The entrepreneur undertakes to accept and execute orders for products with the utmost care.

Delivery will take place within 30 days, unless otherwise agreed. Delays or incomplete execution will be communicated to the consumer no later than 30 days after the order.

In the event of delays or incomplete execution, the consumer has the right to terminate the contract free of charge and, where applicable, to receive compensation.

In the event of termination, the entrepreneur will refund the amount paid within 5 days of termination.

If it is not possible to deliver an ordered product, the entrepreneur will try to propose a replacement item, which will be clearly stated upon delivery. The right of withdrawal also applies to replacement items, and any return costs are borne by the entrepreneur where required.

The risk of damage or loss of the products remains with the entrepreneur until delivery, unless otherwise agreed.

Article 12 - Contracts for a definite period: duration, termination and renewal

A contract with an indefinite duration that is aimed at the regular delivery of products, including electricity, or services can be terminated by the consumer at any time in accordance with the agreed termination conditions with a maximum notice period of one month.

A contract with a fixed term for the regular delivery of products or services may be terminated by the consumer at the end of the agreed period in accordance with the agreed termination conditions with a maximum notice period of one month.

Both types of contract can be terminated at any time under the conditions set by the entrepreneur.

A contract with a fixed term for the regular delivery of products or services is not automatically renewed for a fixed term. An exception applies to contracts for the regular delivery of newspapers, magazines, and periodicals, which can be tacitly renewed for up to three months, provided the consumer can cancel within one month before expiry.

A contract for the regular delivery of newspapers, magazines, and periodicals as part of a trial subscription ends automatically at the end of the introductory period.

For contracts with a duration of more than one year, the consumer may terminate the contract at any time after one year with a maximum notice period of one month, provided this is reasonable and fair.

Article 13 - Payment

Unless otherwise agreed, the consumer must make the payment within 7 working days after the start of the cooling-off period referred to in Article 6 paragraph 1.

For services, this period starts after the consumer has received confirmation of the contract.

In the event of incorrect payment details, the consumer is obliged to inform the trader immediately.

In the event of non-payment by the consumer, the entrepreneur is entitled, subject to legal restrictions, to charge the consumer the agreed costs.

Article 14 - Complaints procedure

In the event of complaints about the execution of the contract, the consumer must inform the entrepreneur fully and clearly within 30 days of discovering the defects.

Complaints can be submitted by email to admin@sokaswim.com.

The entrepreneur will respond to complaints within 30 days of receipt. If the handling of a complaint requires more time, the entrepreneur will send a confirmation of receipt within the first 30 days, stating the expected handling period.

If a complaint cannot be resolved by mutual agreement, a dispute will arise that is subject to arbitration. This complaints procedure does not affect the obligations of the entrepreneur, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

In the event of justified complaints, the entrepreneur will, at its own discretion, make replacement deliveries or repairs free of charge.
