In addition to confirming your age yourself, you as a cardholder need to be 21 years or older to complete the transaction.

An order made in another person’s name (falsification of a document), or in any other way that causes Vapeshires to risk a financial damage, will be reported to the authorities.
Vapeshires reserves the right to refuse to carry out an order if irregularities or misuse of our order function are suspected.

Vapeshires personal data handling

Personal data is handled according to the Vapeshires Privacy Policy.
By ordering products at The Website you confirm that you have read and accepted the Vapeshires privacy policy and that the personal data you have stated is correct.

Delivery and delivery time

Vapeshires offers a range of different shipping alternatives depending on the size of the packaging, your place of residence etc.
The shipping alternatives as well as the delivery time for each shipping alternative are further described in the checkout at the Website.

When ordering through UPS you may need to present a valid identification at delivery. Thus, only the person placing the order at The Website should receive the order.

Unredeemed package/shipment

A package shipped according to any of our delivery alternatives will either be sent back to Vapeshires or discarded if you have not been able to redeem it.
Unredeemed packages are usually not seen as an exercise of your rights of return.

Complaints and returns

If a product differs from the purchase agreement or does otherwise not correspond to the description provided by Vapeshires , you have the right to make a complaint about the product to Vapeshires .

In that case you’re welcome to make a complaint about your product. You can contact our customer service team to file a complaint here.

The right of complaint only includes faults at delivery (and not faults that for instance occurred due to the product’s expired shelf life or due to normal wear and tear).
You need to notify Vapeshires about the fault within a reasonable time from when you discovered or should have discovered the fault and at the latest two months after you received the product.
Vapeshires therefore recommends you to carefully inspect products directly upon receiving them.

Depending on the type of product fault we may require you to provide photographic proof. Throughout the reclamation period you are required to retain original packaging, packing slip and the products in question.

Depending on the extent of the damage you will be able to get a replacement, remediation, or a price reduction.
For further claims, exceeding the costs of the product, Vapeshires will act in accordance with applicable consumer purchase law.

Transport damages

In order for issues regarding transport damages to be resolved as quickly as possible, we kindly ask you to keep the product packaging for inspection.
In order to be able to claim a reclamation on products you also need to prove your purchase from The Website, for instance through the order confirmation or receipt Vapeshires sent to the e-mail address you provided in connection with your purchase.
We may also request photographic proof of damages.

Right of withdrawal and returns

When shopping online as a consumer, as a general rule you have a right of withdrawal of 14 days.
The right of withdrawal, however, does not apply to the purchase of products which are perishable goods with a limited shelf life, such as oral nicotine products.

Force majeure

Vapeshires is not required to fulfil the purchase agreement if the fulfilment is complicated due to an event outside of the reasonable control of Vapeshires (e.g. changed legislation, government measures, strikes, blockades, sabotage, war, terrorism, fire, floods, natural disasters, or other extraordinary events).
Such circumstances also relieve Vapeshires from the obligation to pay compensation.
If these circumstances last longer than two (2) months, both the consumer and Vapeshires have the right to cancel the purchase with immediate effect.

Price and product information on The Website

Vapeshires strives to make sure that all information provided on The Website is correct, but with reservations for limited availabilities and possible errors in pictures or writing, e.g. errors in product descriptions, incorrect prices, or erroneous information about stock availability.
