GENERAL TERMS OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS IN THE INTERNET TRADE

University of Rijeka, Faculty of Medicine, Center for Proteomics (hereafter as the Seller) is a legal entity that produces, markets and ships its products on the Web shop products.capri.com.hr (hereinafter referred to as the Web shop).

The Buyer is any legal or natural person whose headquarters / place of residence is located worldwide, and who makes orders through the Web shop.

Web shop’s terms of business comply with the Consumer Protection Act of the Republic of Croatia (Official Gazette 41/2014, 110/2015, 14/2019), Chapter III. – Contracts concluded outside business premises and at a distance, from Article 57 to Article 79. The Terms of use of the Web shop are subject to change at any time; therefore, the Web shop Terms of use should be read each time the Buyer visits the Web shop. If the Buyer continues to use the Web shop after the Terms of use have been modified, (s)he/it agrees to be bound by the new Terms of use.

Products offered through the Web shop are for laboratory research only, not for human or medical use.

All prices are quoted in EURO without VAT. If the Buyer is from one of the Member states of European Union, VAT is not charged pursuant to Art. 41 of the VAT Act of the Republic of Croatia. If the Buyer is from a country that is not a member of European Union, the VAT is not charged pursuant to Art. 45 of the VAT Act of the Republic of Croatia. The prominent prices in the Web shop are only valid for online purchase. Prices displayed in the Web shop exclude transportation.

By registering on this Web shop, the Buyer acknowledges that (s)he/it is fully acquainted with and accepts this Terms of use.

REGISTRATION AND ORDER

To make a purchase on the Web shop, registration is not required. It is necessary for the Buyer to leave a valid e-mail address (the one with access), personal information (name, surname, address, postal code, place, phone number), billing and shipping address in the first step of the checkout process, so that an order confirmation can be received after entering the data needed to perform the delivery.

If a Buyer does not want to enter the delivery address or payment information each time during the purchase, a quick registration is recommended. It is only necessary to enter a valid e-mail address, personal information (name, surname, address, postal code, place, mobile number) and password to access the user account. It can be an arbitrary string of characters – longer, more resistant to hacking.

After entering the requested data, registration must be confirmed by clicking the “Registration” field. The created user account remains registered in the system, and is accessed by a combination of user name and password on the “Login” page.

In case of forgotten password, click on “Forgotten Password” on the same page. Go to the page and enter the e-mail address used previously for registering on the Web shop. The system automatically sends a link by which password will be reset and a new one is assigned. The password can be changed later in account settings since automatically created passwords are not easy to remember (or just click on “YES” when the browser asks to remember the entered password).

In short, after creating an account, for any further purchase, only a login with a user name and a password is required.

Product ordering is possible within 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
