These Terms and Conditions exist to provide clarity for both the buyer and seller by clearly setting out the responsibilities and expectations of each party. They should be read alongside our Shipping Information, Returns and Refunds, and Privacy Policy pages.

 

We believe that buying online should be a straightforward and enjoyable experience. These Terms and Conditions exist to protect both the buyer and seller by clearly setting out the responsibilities and expectations of each party.

 

We strive to describe all items accurately, provide clear photographs, and supply authentic specimens backed by our Certificate of Authenticity where appropriate. In return, we ask customers to review item descriptions carefully before purchasing and to contact us if they have any questions prior to placing an order.

 

Product Descriptions and Authenticity

All items offered for sale are described to the best of our knowledge and based upon the information available at the time of listing. Meteorites, tektites, impactites, natural glasses, minerals, fossils, and other natural objects are inherently variable, and each specimen is unique.

Where applicable, specimens are supplied with identification labels, provenance information, and our Certificate of Authenticity. We make every effort to ensure that classifications, localities, weights, dimensions, and other details are accurate, though minor variations and revisions may occasionally occur as scientific understanding evolves.

 

Ordering and Payment

Orders are processed upon receipt of payment. All prices are displayed in your chosen currency at the current exchange rate, but will be processed in Euros at the moment of purchase. The rate may alter slightly between the initial inquiry and the actual moment of the transaction. In most cases this is just a few pennies. Prices and exchange rates are subject to change without notice.

By placing an order, the purchaser confirms that they are legally entitled to enter into a binding transaction and that all information provided during the checkout process is accurate and complete.

 

Shipping and Delivery

We take shipping extremely seriously and make every effort to package items securely and dispatch them promptly. Full details regarding packaging, shipping methods, insurance options, delivery times, and international shipments can be found on our Shipping page.

Once an order has been dispatched, responsibility for delivery transfers to the shipping provider. We will always assist where possible in resolving shipping issues and providing supporting documentation when required.

 

International Orders

Customers are responsible for complying with the laws and regulations of their own country. Any import duties, taxes, customs charges, inspection fees, or other costs associated with importing goods are the sole responsibility of the purchaser.

We cannot guarantee delivery times for international shipments, as customs procedures vary between countries and remain outside our control.

 

Returns and Cancellations

If you experience a problem with your order, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can work towards a fair and reasonable solution. We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return.

Returns, cancellations, and refunds are subject to applicable laws and the specific circumstances of each transaction. Items must generally be returned in the same condition in which they were received. Certain customised, altered, or specially commissioned items may not be eligible for return.

Full details can be found on our Returns and Refunds page.

 

Limitation of Liability

Our liability is limited to the purchase price paid for the item. We are not responsible for indirect losses, consequential damages, delays caused by shipping providers, customs authorities, natural disasters, technical failures, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

 

Scientific Information

Meteorite classifications, geological interpretations, impact origins, ages, and related scientific information are based on current knowledge and published research. Scientific understanding evolves over time, and classifications or interpretations may be revised as new information becomes available.

Such revisions do not affect the authenticity of an item but may affect how it is described or classified in future scientific literature.

Similarly, items are valued and priced based on the prevailing knowledge and values at the time of listing. If circumstances change that reduce the value of an item (or increase the value of an item), there will be no refunds nor surcharges resulting from this change of value, except where it is covered within our usual returns and refunds policy.

 

Contact

We believe most issues can be resolved quickly through direct communication. If you have any questions regarding these Terms and Conditions, an item for sale, or an existing order, please contact us and we will do our best to assist.
