Purchase through the Application

If such expenses can not reasonably be calculated in advance, there will be an indication of which expenses will be charged to the User.

Delivery of material products
Material Products (including any goods with digital elements) will be delivered to the address indicated by the User, using the methods and within the deadline chosen or indicated on the Application and indicated in the order confirmation. Unless otherwise specified, the delivery terms specified in the order confirmation indicate the usual period of time required to deliver the Product from the time it is taken over by the courier.
In the event that it is not possible to provide the requested Products, timely notice will be given by e-mail to the User, indicating when it is expected to be able to deliver them or the reasons why supply is impossible.
If the User does not wish to accept the new term or delivery has become impossible, he can request a refund of the amount paid, which will be refunded promptly in the same payment methods used by the User for the purchase at most within 14 days from the date of the Owner's knowledge of the refund request.
