HMD GLOBAL EU TERMS OF SALE

Effective date: 15 December 2022

Acceptance

These HMD Global EU Terms of Sale together with the documents referred to herein (“Terms”) govern the sale and purchase of products (the “Product(s)”) through our website https://www.hmd.com (“Website”) when accepted by you in connection with your purchase. These Terms do not apply to the sale and purchase of services or insurances through our Website.

The Website is operated by HMD Global Oy, a company incorporated in Finland with its registered office at Bertel Jungin aukio 9, 02600 Espoo, Finland and with Business ID 2724044-2 (“HMD Global”, “we”, “us”).

Please read these Terms carefully and make sure that you understand them before placing orders through our Website. By placing orders through our Website, you unconditionally accept these Terms. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms, you may not order Products from our Website. These Terms do not affect or limit your statutory rights as a consumer that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

Placing orders through our Website

By placing an order through our Website, you are making an offer to us to purchase the Product(s) in your order. Orders are placed through our Website by adding the Product(s) you wish to purchase to your shopping cart. Once you have added the Products to your shopping cart, you can proceed to checkout.

Shortly after our receipt of your order, we will send you an email confirming that we have received your order. Please note that the order confirmation email merely confirms that we have received your order and does not constitute a formal acceptance of your order. All orders placed through our Website are subject to our subsequent acceptance. The decision to accept your order is at HMD Global’s sole discretion. All Products, prices, and descriptions indicated on our Website are subject to availability and do not constitute an offer by us. HMD Global reserves the right to withdraw or revise any Products, prices, and descriptions indicated on our Website at any time prior to our acceptance of your order.

Once your order has been processed and prepared for shipping, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that your order has been accepted. The email will also contain the shipping details for your order. Our acceptance of your order shall become valid at the time when the order acceptance email has been sent to you.

While we endeavor to ensure that the Products appearing on our Website are available at all times, we cannot guarantee that all Products are in stock or immediately available when you place your order. We may reject your order if we are unable to process or fulfill it. In the event that your order is rejected, we will refund all payments we have received from you for such Products.

Third party services

HMD Global resells services provided by third parties. Your purchase of these third party services may be subject to separate terms and conditions that the third party requires you to accept before purchasing services.

Eligibility

To place orders through our Website, you must meet the following criteria:

  • you are at least 18 years old,
  • you are legally competent to enter into binding agreements,
  • you provide us with information that is accurate and sufficient for us to be able to accommodate your order, and
  • you are not purchasing Products for resale purposes.
Prices

The sales prices of our Products are listed on our Website. We reserve the right to change prices at any time and to correct pricing errors that may, despite our best efforts to ensure that prices and other information on our Website is accurate, occur. Our sales prices are exclusive of delivery costs.

Orders that have already been accepted by us will not be affected by any changes in our pricing. In the event of a pricing error, we will notify you of the error and allow you to either proceed with the transaction at the correct price or cancel your order at no cost to you. You will only be notified of clear and material pricing errors. In no event will HMD be obliged to provide the Product(s) to you at a price that has been obviously or significantly lower than the prevailing retail price for the Product(s) you have ordered.

The sales prices listed on our Website include VAT (if applicable).

Payments

We accept payment methods displayed at the checkout section of our Website. You can choose to pay with a credit or debit card or opt for one of the country-specific payment methods that might be available in your country. Once you have placed your order, you will not be able to change the payment method you have chosen.

If you pay by credit or debit card, you must supply your card details at the checkout section of our Website. Payments made with credit or debit cards will be charged once we have accepted your order. To ensure that your card is not being used without your consent, we will validate personal information provided by you during the order process against information held by appropriate third-party databases. By accepting these Terms, you consent to such checks being made.

Delivery

Orders will only be accepted, and Product(s) delivered to addresses within your country of residence in the EU, excluding its overseas territories.

Delivery times are estimates only and may be subject to change as a result of manufacturing delays or events beyond our control. In the event of a significant delay in the delivery of your order, we will notify you separately.

The Product(s) will be delivered to the delivery address you have specified in your order. Once you have placed your order, you will not be able to change the address to which the Product(s) will be delivered to.

Returns policy

14-day right to return. You have the right to return your Product(s) within 14 days of the date on which you, or a person indicated by you, have or has received the Product(s).

Orders for several items. If you have made an order for several items, you do not need to return the whole order. When you are initiating the return, you can choose which items from your order you want to return. You can only make one return per order, so please ensure that you send back all of the items you do not want in one return. If you ordered items that were featured in a bundle offer, you cannot send part of the bundle offer back. For example, if you ordered a phone that came with an accessory for free or at a discounted price, you cannot return just the phone — you must send the accessory back as well. We reserve the right to charge for any accessories not returned at their full value.

Defective products. If you suspect that the Products you have purchased from us are defective, please notify us within 14 days as described below. HMD Global reserves the right to inspect all suspected defects and verify them. In the event that your Products turn out to be defective later than 14 days from the date the Products were received, please contact us immediately via the contact channels listed below.

Your obligations. You must take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession. The Products must be returned in a good and undamaged condition and, if possible, with the original packaging. All manuals, accessories, free items and other components accompanying the Product(s) must be returned in the same packaging. If you fail to comply with these obligations, we may decline to inspect your Product(s) for the suspected defects. We recommend that you to obtain a proof of mailing when returning Product(s) to us. HMD Global has no obligation to accept a refund or exchange if the Product(s) returned is deemed to have been damaged.

HMD Global reserves the right not to accept returns in the event of misuse, neglect, physical damage, tampering, normal wear and tear or incorrect adjustment or installation after purchase.

Return process. In the event that you wish to return your Products, please contact us within 14 days from the date the Products were received either through your My Account or through the order confirmation page of our Website. You can access both your My Account (if created) and the order confirmation page through the link contained in the order acceptance email that has been sent to you once your order has been prepared for shipping. If you have ordered several Products in a single order and the Products have been delivered separately, you may notify us of your intent to return the Products within 14 days from the date the last Product was received.

Once we have received your request to return the Product(s), we will provide you with the details on how to return your Products or arrange for their collection.

We will initiate a refund once we have received the Product(s) that are being returned. We will use the same payment method to refund you that you used for your order. If you paid by credit or debit card, your refund will be sent to the card-issuing bank within seven business days of receipt of the returned Product(s). The exact time until you receive the refund depends on your payment bank. Please allow 5-7 days for the refund to appear on your account.

Alternatively, you can use the withdrawal form (Annex A) to withdraw your purchase during the first 14 days from the receipt of the Product(s).
