These Terms and Conditions set forth the legally binding terms and conditions governing your use of the Service.

The Galiatea General Terms and Conditions and Use (https://www.galiatea.com/pages/terms-and-conditions) (the “General Terms”) are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully stated forth herein. In the event of a conflict between the General Terms and these Terms and Conditions, the terms of the General Terms shall control.
PURCHASE- TERMS OF ORDERING
The Galiatea Website may be used to order a variety of products from Galiatea’s various collections directly online via the Internet.
You can also discuss your order by telephone by dialing (409) 234 6763. These Terms and Conditions will also apply to orders placed by phone.
PLACING AN ORDER
For each product selected on the Galiatea Website, a summary page (cart page) will be displayed automatically featuring a photograph of the item, its coloring and references, the quantity selected and its estimated price (price will vary depending on shipping). You should check that this information accurately reflects your selection before confirming your order by pressing “Request a quote”. Upon confirmation, your order will be submitted to Galiatea for processing. Once it has been cleared we will submit the actual invoice with payment options, and the price quoted will be valid for 10 calendar days. If payment has not been received within 10 calendar days, you will need to contact Galiatea to obtain an updated quote.
While every effort is taken to try to ensure that the coloring, design and style of the Galiatea products in the photographs displayed on the Galiatea Website are representative of the products you will actually receive, variations will occur due to the nature of the products (e.g., not all solid wood will have the same wood grain or indentations, each alpaca product is unique since it is made from different animals, etc.). Variations may also occur due to technical restrictions of color reproduction on your computer equipment. Accordingly Galiatea shall not be liable for any error or inaccuracy in the photographs or graphical representations of Galiatea products displayed on the Galiatea Website. If you have any questions about the products, you may, of course, contact us by email: info@galiatea.com or by phone: (409) 234 6763.

CUSTOM ORDERS
Please contact a sales representative to create a custom order. Confirmation by email of the custom product desired will be used as a positive affirmation to complete order and acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.
CANCELLATION
Once you place an order with Galiatea, we will check to see that the product is available to the specifications you require, and that all of your billing and shipping information is verified. This process takes us approximately 24 hours. Your order is then forwarded to the manufacturer. The customer has 24 hours after ordering to cancel the order. Once the production has begun on any merchandise, the order is not cancelable. Custom orders and non-stocked items are not cancelable.
AVAILABILITY
Our offers of products and corresponding prices are valid as displayed on the Galiatea Website, subject to availability. In this regard, instructions about the availability of the products will be given at the time of the order. However, due to the nature of Galiatea’s business, errors regarding the stated availability of a product could exist, especially in case of simultaneous orders of the same product by several customers. In case of unavailability of a product after ordering, you will be informed of that by email or by phone as soon as possible, and it will be proposed to you either to order another item shown on the Galiatea Website in substitution or to cancel your order. Since many items are one-of-a-kind pieces, the image will be of the original piece, thus when ordering the substituted (“made to order” item) there will be slight variations since no two pieces may be duplicated exactly.
