ALL USERS OF THE SERVICES AGREE THAT ACCESS TO AND USE OF ANY OF THE SERVICES ARE SUBJECT TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND RELATED APPLICABLE LAW. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SERVICES.

G.M EUROCY Innovations Ltd (the “Company”) provides these Web/Mobile application services (the “Services”) to its customers, other permitted users and/or to the public depending on the service and its intended scope. We have worked hard to give you the essential information here and elsewhere on the Services website and company website to get you comfortable with the Services and to make it useful to you. These “Terms and Conditions of Use” (the “Terms”) enable us to provide you with the products and services, information, other content and features available through the Services.

  1. Scope of access to Services and related rights: Subject to these Terms, the Company grants you a limited, revocable right to access and use the Services solely for your own use. You agree not to modify, adapt, translate, or reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discern the source code of these Services. Further, you may not reproduce all or any portion of the Services. These Services and their contents are the intellectual property of and are owned by the Company and/or its service providers and collaborators. The Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate use of these Services by you or other users in its sole discretion. 2. User account: For certain Services, prior to performing a transaction through them you may optionally or mandatorily establish a user account. In case you do establish a user account it will be accessible upon input of an authorized e-mail address and a designated password. You are responsible for maintaining the security of any user passwords and other account details issued to you for use with any Service, and you are also responsible for the integrity and security of the operating environment from which you access the Service.

3. Children’s privacy and Service age limitations: The Services are intended for use by persons aged 16 or older, and by your use of any of the Services you affirm that you are at least 16 years of age. In addition, if you are under the age of 18, you are only permitted to use the Services with the consent of your parents or a legally appointed adult guardian. The Company will not knowingly allow registration of an account for any person that the Company believes to be younger than 16. We also do not collect any personal data or otherwise any personal identifiable information from any persons under the age of 16 and if we discover that we have been provided any such information, we will delete this information from our records without undue delay.

4. Data/Information errors:  Although the Company strives at all times to maintain the accuracy of information maintained on the Services, occasionally certain data and/or information errors may occur on the Services. In the event that any data/information that is available through the Services is mistakenly populated at a wrong state or with other incorrect information, the Company reserves the right to either refuse or cancel the order or to charge you the correct price when you come to pick up your order or when your order is delivered.

5.         Order acceptance and inability to fulfil orders (Applicable to Services that deal with online orders):  

5.1        Generally.   If you select the appropriate option at the time you place your order, the Company will send an order acknowledgment to your designated e-mail address once you have placed an order with us. The Company reserves the right to refuse or cancel any orders for any reason, and whether the order has been confirmed or not. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Company is not responsible for any inability to fulfil orders. If your credit card (if applicable) has already been charged for the purchase and your order is cancelled by the Company, we will return the amount charged through your credit card account.

5.2 Abandoned orders.   If you place an order with us and fail to pick it up or accept its delivery, the Company reserves the right to charge you the amount due (including by charging your credit card, if applicable). If you realize you cannot pick up the order or accept its delivery, please contact the Company as soon as possible to let us know you cannot pick up or accept the delivery of the order and to see whether a charge may be avoided. Abandoned orders lead to higher products’ costs, which in turn requires us to raise our prices. This policy is in place to help us manage products’ costs and keep our prices low.

6. Web store orders (shipped via common carrier)

6.1 For general returns:  If for any reason you are unsatisfied with what delivered following your order, we will exchange or refund the order within 2 days of delivery, once you return the original order. Return shipping charges are incurred by you, if and where applicable.

6.2 For order cancellation:  If the order has not yet been prepared and/or shipped, the order may be cancelled without any penalties and the charges refunded. If the order has already been prepared and/or shipped, then you will pay the amount of your order in full. Products must be returned unopened and in initial conditions.

6.3 For defective or damaged orders:  If the order arrives in an unsuitable condition or damaged, then we will resend the same shipment once the customer has returned the damaged shipment. Return shipping charges will be incurred by the Company.

In addition, your access rights to use the Services may also be terminated if you fail to comply with these Terms. You agree that the Company will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your use of any of the Services as a result of your failure to comply with these Terms.
