Article 3 - Applicability

1. These general terms and conditions apply to every offer made by Metalbird and to every (distance) contract that has been realised between Metalbird and a customer.
2. Prior to the conclusion of a distance contract, the text of these general terms and conditions will be made available to the customer. If this is not reasonably possible, Metalbird will indicate, before the distance contract is concluded, in what way the general terms and conditions are available for inspection at Metalbird’s premises and that they will be sent free of charge to the customer, as quickly as possible, at the customer’s request.
3. If the distance contract is concluded electronically, then, contrary to the previous paragraph, and before the distance contract is concluded, the customer will be provided with the text of these general terms and conditions electronically, in such a way that the customer can easily store them on a durable data carrier. If this is not reasonably possible, then before concluding the distance contract, Metalbird will indicate where the general terms and conditions can be inspected electronically and that at his request they will be sent to the customer free of charge, either electronically or in some other way.

Article 4 - The offer

1. If an offer is subject to a limited period of validity or is made subject to conditions, this will be explicitly mentioned in the offer.
2. The offer contains an accurate description of the products offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to enable the customer to make a proper assessment of the offer. If Metalbird makes use of illustrations, these will be a true representation of the products and/or services being offered.
3. Metalbird is not bound by obvious errors or mistakes in the offer.

Article 5 - The contract

1. The contract will be concluded, subject to that which is stipulated in article 4, at the moment at which the customer accepts the offer and the conditions thereby stipulated have been fulfilled.
2. Metalbird may obtain information – within statutory frameworks – about the customer’s ability to fulfill his payment obligations, as well as about facts and factors that are important for the responsible conclusion of the distance contract. If that research gives Metalbird proper grounds for declining to conclude the contract, then Metalbird has a right, supported by reasons, to reject an order or application or to bind its implementation to special conditions.
3. Metalbird shall be entitled to assign all or part of the rights and obligations arising from the contract (possibly to its affiliated companies).

Article 6 - Right of withdrawal

1. When purchasing products, a customer has the right to dissolve a contract, without giving reasons, during a period of at least 14 days. Metalbird is allowed to ask a customer for the reason of this dissolution, but the customer is under no obligation to state his/her reason(s).
2. The period stipulated in paragraph 1 commences on the day after the product was received by the customer, or a third party designated by the customer, who is not the transporting party, or if the customer has ordered several products with the same order number: the day on which the customer, or a third party designated by the customer, received the last product.
3. A customer who wants to exercise his right of withdrawal shall report this to Metalbird, within the withdrawal period, in an unequivocal way.

Article 7 - Customers’ obligations during the withdrawal period

1. The risk and the burden of proof for exercising the right of withdrawal correctly and in time rest upon the customer.
2. As quickly as possible, but no later than 14 days after the day of reporting as referred to in paragraph 1, the customer shall return the product, or hand it over to (a representative of) Metalbird. The customer will in any case have complied with the time for returning goods if he sends the product back before the withdrawal period has lapsed.
3. During the withdrawal period, the customer shall treat the product and its packaging with care. The customer shall only unpack or use the product in as far as necessary in order to assess the nature, characteristics and efficacy of the product. The point of departure here is that the customer may only handle and inspect the product in the same way that he would be allowed in a shop.
4. The customer returns the product with all relevant accessories, if reasonably possible in the original state and packaging, and in accordance with the reasonable and clear instructions provided by Metalbird.
5. The customer bears the direct costs of returning the product.
6. The customer is only liable for the product’s devaluation that is a consequence of handling the product other than as stated in paragraph 1.
7. If a customer exercises his right of withdrawal, all supplementary agreements are legally dissolved.

Article 8 - Metalbirds’ obligations in a case of withdrawal

1. Metalbird reimburses the customer as soon as reasonably possible with all payments, including any delivery costs Metalbird charged for the returned product, though at the latest within 30 days after the day on which the customer reported the withdrawal. Except in cases in which Metalbird has offered to retrieve the product himself, he can postpone refunding until he has received the product or until the customer proves he has returned the product, depending on which occurs earlier.
2. For any reimbursement, Metalbird will use the same payment method that was initially used by the customer, unless the customer agrees to another method.
3. If the customer chooses an expensive method of delivery in preference to the cheapest standard delivery, Metalbird does not have to refund the additional costs of the more expensive method.

Article 9 - The price

1. The total amount stated on the shopping cart, quotation or invoice is final and includes the prices of the ordered products, their processing, packaging material and transport.

Article 10 - Delivery

1. Taking into consideration that which is stated in article 4 of these general terms and conditions, the company do everything possible to have the goods delivered to the address clearly indicated by the customer as soon as the order has been accepted and it has received confirmation of payment.
2. The ordered goods will be delivered by an external party. For orders outside the EU, the customer is responsible for the import duties in his or her country.
3. All costs related to the delivery are for the account of the customer.
4. The shipping costs within Europe are charged by the Dutch State with the then applicable VAT rate.
5. If the customer refuses to take receipt of the goods or fails to provide instructions or information regarding their delivery, any additional costs for a new delivery or storage of these goods will be borne by the customer.
6. Any delivery date that may be mentioned by Metalbird VOF can only be subject to change.
7. Depending on the country, the delivery time can vary from one (1) to (30) working days, but normal European delivery will usually take place in one (1) to five (5) days.

1. All sums payable by the customer must be made before delivery, unless other arrangements have been made.
2. Processing and dispatch of the ordered items takes place after the payment has been confirmed by the bank.

4. After that, an e-mail will automatically be sent to you with a number to confirm your order.
5. In accordance with the law on personal registration, no information will be passed on to third parties; exceptions to this are parties involved in executing the order. The customer is obliged to report immediately to Metalbird any inaccuracies in payment data provided or stated.
6. If a customer fails to fulfil his payment obligation(s) in good time, after Metalbird has informed the customer about the late payment, the customer is allowed 14 days in which to fulfil the obligation to pay; if payment is not made within this 14-day period, statutory interest will be payable over the sum owed and Metalbird has the right to charge reasonable extrajudicial costs of collection he has incurred.

Article 12 - Disputes

1. Contracts entered into between Metalbird and a customer and which are subject to these general terms and conditions are exclusively ruled by Dutch law.

Article 13 - Amendment to the general terms and conditions

LIFETIME GUARANTEE

For over ten years now, Metalbird has been producing quality works of art that last a lifetime, wherever you install them. We stand by the materials and craftsmanship of our birds, and if you’re unhappy with either, please contact us to discuss your concerns.

All of our birds, and occasionally our bees, are made from Corten Steel, designed to form a protective patina that resists corrosion, decay and damage. Corten is used for industrial architecture and large scale sculptures because of its longevity and weathering capacity. This is how we know that your Metalbird will not only last for decades, but will likely outlive us all.

How’s that for a Lifetime Guarantee?
