By placing your order, you agree to pay the Fees in accordance with these Terms, the terms and conditions of the respective Fees, and other terms and conditions in force at the moment the service contract is concluded. The Fees remain valid for as long as (i) they are indicated on the Website or (ii) as communicated by us. The Fees are subject to a change without a prior notice.

You are responsible for ensuring that all payment information is correct and the funds necessary for paying the Fees are available.

If you use the Website as a consumer (i.e., a person acting wholly or mainly outside the scope of trade, business, or profession), you have the right to withdraw from a service contract within the period of 14 days after you have physically taken possession of the Products without providing any reason to us.
    • How to exercise your right of withdrawal for the Products? If you qualify for withdrawal and you would like to exercise your right of withdrawal and receive a refund, you must inform us of your decision to withdraw from the contract by email before the 14-day period expires. After you get our return notice, you have to return the Products at your own cost to the address indicated by us without undue delay and in any event no later than 14 days from the day on which you informed us about your wish to return the Products. The deadline is met if you send back the Products before the period of 14 days expires. The shipping costs for the return of the Products shall be paid fully by you and are non-refundable. To be entitled for a refund, the Products must be (i) new, (ii) unused, (iii) complete, (iv) in an impeccable condition, (v) with all manuals and accessories, (vi) with the applicable tags on, and (vii) in their original packaging. If any of these conditions are not met, we will not refund you for the returned Products.

When you exercise your right of withdrawal, we will refund the Fees, including initial basic (cheapest) delivery costs, by using the same payment method that was used to make the payment. In any case, you will not incur any fees as a result of the refund. The refund may be withheld until we receive the returned Products, the Products are assessed as being properly returned back (e.g., they are in an impeccable state, unused, and properly labelled), or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the Products, whichever is the earliest.
    • Cancellation of subscription. If you hold an annual subscription plan to our Embroidery Academy, your subscription must be cancelled at least 1 calendar month prior to expiration of the then-current billing period through your User Account to avoid automatic renewal and charge.
