In our effort to showcase our products comprehensively, we’ve captured numerous images from various angles. This is to highlight as many features as possible and aid you in making an informed choice.

TERMS OF SALE
Prices
All prices listed on our website are presented in your local currency, based on your geographic location. You have the option to change your delivery location, which may result in a change in currency. Due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates and regional pricing variations, prices may differ. The price indicated at the time of your purchase is final, except in instances of clear pricing errors. In such cases, we will address the issue with the customer individually.
Please note, product prices do not include delivery charges. A single delivery fee will be applied to your order, irrespective of the number of items, and is determined by the delivery destination. For detailed information, consult our Delivery policy.
Be aware: Online prices may differ from one country to another and may not match those in our physical retail stores.
Duties & Taxes
Our goal is to deliver all parcels on a Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) basis, where feasible. This means we aim to handle any import duties and additional clearance charges for you. Nevertheless, the parcel recipient might need to assist with customs clearance. In such instances, either our courier service or the local customs office will directly contact the recipient to facilitate this process. Any expenses incurred beyond standard import duty clearance, imposed by local customs or tax authorities, are the responsibility of the recipient.
For shipments to Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) destinations, please be aware that your order may attract additional customs fees upon arrival in the destination country. These duties and taxes are not pre-paid by us, and you may have to hire a personal customs broker to manage customs clearance for your items.
Purchase of Products
When you place an order on ALTANZ.COM, you’re proposing to enter into a sales agreement with us. After you order online, via phone, or email, you’ll receive an email acknowledging we’ve received your order. This acknowledgment does not mean your order is accepted. Acceptance of your order occurs when we send you an email confirming the dispatch of your order. This agreement is exclusive to you, and you may not transfer any obligations under it without our explicit written consent.
It’s essential to provide accurate billing address details when ordering. Failure to do so might lead your payment to be flagged by our payment security system, which could delay or cancel your order.
By ordering, you confirm you’re legally able to enter binding contracts and are at least 13 years old.
Under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000, you can cancel your order within 14 days of delivery. If you cancel, you must return the product to us in its original condition and packaging at your expense, unless otherwise indicated. After our Customer Service team inspects the returned item and approves its condition, you’ll receive a full refund, excluding delivery charges. Contact us for more information.
Pre-Ordering
We occasionally offer the chance to pre-order items from upcoming collections, giving you early access to new products before their general release on our website, in our showroom, and via our stockists.
Pre-orders are paid for in advance, and you can cancel at any time before dispatch. If items are ready to ship when you pre-order, the same terms here apply.

Delivery & Shipping Limitations
When you place an order, it will be shipped to the delivery address you provided, unless you request a change before we dispatch it. If there’s an error or omission in the address you’ve given us, please contact us immediately. We cannot be held responsible for deliveries made to incorrect addresses if they were provided by you.
Please note that all deliveries require a signature upon receipt. Consequently, we are unable to ship orders to PO Box addresses.
Estimated delivery times for various global locations are available on our website. These estimates are based on typical shipping durations but actual delivery times may vary due to factors such as the destination’s remoteness, customs processing times, and other logistical considerations.
While we strive to ensure timely delivery, there may occasionally be delays caused by factors outside ALTANZ.COM’s control. In the event of such delays, we are committed to delivering your order as soon as possible, but we cannot be liable for any losses that may occur due to these delays.
Delivery Loss or Damage
We and our shipping partners work hard to ensure your order arrives in perfect condition. If you receive a damaged order, please contact our Customer Service team within 48 hours of receipt. Similarly, if your order has not arrived within 14 days of the dispatch date, please inform our Customer Service Team. Our shipping partners keep proof of delivery for verification purposes, which may be used in case of disputes.
Importer of Record
When ordering from ALTANZ.COM, international buyers become the importer of record and must comply with all local customs regulations in their country. This includes providing necessary documentation for customs clearance. For shipments to China, the receiver must appoint a customs broker. ALTANZ.COM is not responsible for any non-compliance with import regulations or for any costs associated with returning goods due to such non-compliance.
