If, after reasonable attempts by the courier, delivery cannot be completed due to your fault (e.g., incorrect address provided, failure to collect or arrange re-delivery), the Products may be returned to us. In such cases, we reserve the right to deduct from any refund due to you the actual, reasonable costs incurred by us for the failed delivery and return shipping. We will contact you to discuss re-shipment (at your cost) or a refund minus these costs. We will not retain all sums paid as a penalty.

11.7. Receipt of Delivery: Deliveries are typically made by hand upon signed acknowledgment.

COOKIE POLICY

Last Updated: June 1, 2025

This website uses cookies to improve your experience while you navigate through the website. Out of these, the cookies that are categorized as necessary are stored on your browser as they are essential for the working of basic functionalities of the website. We also use third-party cookies that help us analyze and understand how you use this website. These cookies will be stored in your browser only with your consent. You also have the option to opt-out of these cookies. But opting out of some of these cookies may affect your browsing experience.

Minoar uses traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyze data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.

Cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.

Understanding Cookies and Their Classifications

Cookies are small text files that are used to store small pieces of information. They are stored on your device when the website is loaded on your browser. The information encoded in cookies may include personal data such as an IP address or a unique identifier, but may also contain non-personal data such as language settings or device type.

Cookies serve various purposes, from enabling basic site functionality and security (Technical/Essential Cookies) to analyzing site usage, personalizing content and user experience, and supporting marketing efforts (Analytical, Functional, Preference, and Marketing Cookies). Cookies can also be distinguished by their duration (session or persistent) and by who places them (first-party, set by us, or third-party, set by other companies whose services we use).

Generally, cookies can be classified as follows based on their purpose and legal requirements:

• Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies: These are vital for the website to function correctly (e.g., enabling navigation, shopping cart functionality, security features). Under EU law (including GDPR and specific national laws like the German TTDSG for users in Germany), these cookies typically do not require your prior consent for their use, provided they are strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by you or for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication. Our „Essential“ cookies fall into this category.

• Non-Essential Cookies (including Performance/Analytics, Functional, Preference, Marketing): These cookies are used for purposes beyond the strict necessity of website operation, such as analyzing website performance, remembering your preferences, enabling additional functionalities (like embedded videos), or delivering targeted advertising. For these cookies, your explicit prior consent is required before they can be placed or accessed on your device.

About this cookie policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are and how we use them, the types of cookies we use i.e, the information we collect using cookies and how that information is used, and how to control the cookie preferences. For further information on how we use, store, and keep your personal data secure, see our Privacy Policy.

You can at any time change or withdraw your consent from the Cookie Declaration on our website.
Learn more about who we are, how you can contact us, and how we process personal data in our Privacy Policy.
Your consent applies to the following domains: www.minoar.com
(Note: The line „Your current state…“ from your original CMP output is best handled dynamically by your Consent Management Platform (CMP) to reflect the user’s actual choices. If your CMP doesn’t do this, you might omit this static line here as it could be misleading if they’ve already consented.)

International Data Transfers and Cookies

Some of our third-party service providers, whose cookies are used on our Site (as detailed in our cookie list and Privacy Policy, such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Stripe, etc.), may transfer and process data collected through these cookies in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including the United States. These countries may not offer a level of data protection equivalent to that within the EEA, and there may be risks, such as potential access to your data by governmental authorities in those countries with limited legal remedies available to you.

Where such transfers occur, MINOAR takes steps to ensure your data is adequately protected. This typically involves ensuring that our service providers implement Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission or operate under an applicable adequacy decision.

By consenting to the use of non-essential cookies from these providers, you also acknowledge and, where required by law for such transfers, consent to the potential transfer of your data to these third countries for the purposes described. You can find more specific information about these transfers and the safeguards in place in our main Privacy Policy and by reviewing the privacy policies of the respective third-party providers. You can manage your consent for these cookies at any time via our cookie consent management tool.
