Once the Customer has placed their order, a contract for purchase is concluded between the Customer and BabyBjörn. BabyBjörn then sends an order confirmation to the e-mail address the Customer has specified when placing the order. A contract for purchase is concluded between the Customer and BabyBjörn as at the date of an order confirmation. The Customer should save this order confirmation in case they need to contact BabyBjörn’s Customer Service. The Customer can cancel their order up until the point it is confirmed by BabyBjörn and, in this case, any payments made by the Customer or their debit or credit card company in respect of the order will be refunded.
BabyBjörn reserves the right to cancel an order that contains incorrect personal data or if the Customer has a record of non-payment.
If errors in price, delivery time or other circumstances should arise, BabyBjörn is entitled to change this afterwards. In this event, BabyBjörn will contact the Customer to inform them of this. In such a case, the Customer is entitled to either change or cancel their order. BabyBjörn waits for the Customer ’s approval of the modified terms before BabyBjörn proceeds with the order.

The possible payment methods are specified on the Website. BabyBjörn uses third-party payment services.

The expected delivery time for the product is stated on the order confirmation, at the checkout and/or on the product page in question on the Website. If it is not possible to deliver a product in time, BabyBjörn will send an e-mail message with information to the Customer. If a product is unavailable or cannot be delivered for some other reason, the product will be cancelled from the order and, in this case, any payments made by the Customer or their debit or credit card company in respect of the order will be refunded.
Parcels must be collected by the Customer within the time specified on the notification. Parcels should normally be collected in person with valid proof of identity and order number. The Customer always receives notification of where and when to collect the parcel. Notification may be made via SMS, the postal service, email or telephone. In the event of non-collection of a parcel, BabyBjörn reserves the right to invoice the Customer for return shipping, a service charge and handling fee.
7. Warranty and Complaints
Certain BabyBjörn products may be covered by a warranty which is more favourable than the Customer’s rights under applicable consumer protection legislation. In these cases, information about any warranty period and the specific warranty terms and conditions for any such product are specified in the product description.
The warranty only covers original manufacturing defects and not defects arising from the Customer’s alterations to the product’s function and appearance, accidents, misuse, deviations from care and servicing instructions, as well as normal use and wear and tear.
A Customer who wishes to complain about a defect in a product they have ordered should contact BabyBjörn’s Customer Service and notify them of the defect within a reasonable time after the Customer has noticed or should have noticed the defect (complaint). Complaints made within two (2) months of the Customer noticing the defect are considered to have been made in the right time.
BabyBjörn pays return shipping costs for approved complaints.
Once the complained about product has been returned and the complaint approved, we will notify you for a replacement or refund (if any) within a reasonable period of time. BabyBjörn endeavours to do so within 30 days of the date on which BabyBjörn received the complaint, but it may take longer depending on the nature of the product. BabyBjörn reserves the right to reject a complaint if the product turns out not to be defective in accordance with applicable consumer protection legislation.
8. Changes to the Terms
BabyBjörn reserves the right at any time and at its own discretion to make changes to these Terms without giving any prior notice. When BabyBjörn makes changes to these Terms, BabyBjörn will post the new Terms on the Website. Changes apply from the time the Customer accepts the Terms (by making a new purchase or by visiting the Website), or 30 days after BabyBjörn has informed the Customer about the changes by posting the new Terms on the Website. BabyBjörn recommends that the Customer checks the Website regularly to find out about any changes to the Terms.
Each purchase that the Customer has made, however, will be governed by the Terms in force at the time each respective order was placed.
9. Invalidity
If any provision or part thereof in these Terms should be held by any court to be invalid or unenforceable, this will not invalidate the Terms in their entirety. Reasonable adjustment of the invalid provision should be made instead, so that it becomes valid and enforceable to the extent that the applicable law allows.
10. Applicable law and disputes
Disputes should be resolved in the first instance by amicable agreement after discussion with BabyBjörn’s Customer Service. The courts of Hong Kong shall have exclusive jurisdiction in relation to any claim or dispute concerning or arising from these Terms and the order terms.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong.
