SECTION 3 | Products and Product Information

We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that the information, descriptions, photographs and other content relating to our products are accurate and up to date.

However, the colors and appearance of products may vary depending on the settings of the device or screen being used, and therefore we cannot guarantee that the colors displayed on your screen correspond exactly to the actual colors of the product.

Our products are handcrafted in Portugal. Due to the nature of handcrafted production, there may be small differences in color, texture, finish or appearance between individual pieces. These differences are a natural characteristic of handmade products and do not, in themselves, constitute a defect.

Some products may be available in limited quantities or made to order. Product availability is subject to change without prior notice.

When a product is made to order, the order will only be shipped once the product has been completed. In these cases, the production time may be added to the standard delivery time.

Where applicable, the estimated production and delivery time will be indicated on the product page or during the checkout process.

RAFIBAGOAL reserves the right to discontinue products, change descriptions or modify their availability at any time.

RAFIBAGOAL offers the payment methods displayed at the time of purchase, including credit or debit card payments and PayPal.

Payment must be successfully completed before an order can be processed and shipped.

RAFIBAGOAL reserves the right to refuse or cancel an order in cases of suspected fraud, unauthorized transactions, technical errors, pricing errors or other legally permissible circumstances.

If an order is cancelled after payment has been made, any amount owed to the customer will be refunded using the payment method used for the purchase, without prejudice to applicable law.

RAFIBAGOAL reserves the right to refuse or cancel an order where there are reasonable grounds to do so, including suspected fraud, unauthorized activity, technical errors, product unavailability or incorrect pricing information.
