We will send you a written Order and Shipping Confirmation (by e-mail or otherwise) when we ship your order. This Order and Shipping Confirmation constitutes acceptance of your order by us, indicating the existence of a binding contract of sale.

Delivery

We will use reasonable efforts to ensure that delivery is made by the carrier within the estimated delivery time from the date of our written Order and Shipping Confirmation, and in any event within thirty (30) days of that date, except if your purchase is for a product or service that will require additional time for delivery as we have explained to you, such as products or services that we customize or manufacture according to your instructions.

If the delivery of products is delayed by an event beyond our control, we will inform you as soon as possible and use all reasonable efforts to minimise the consequences of the delay. If we do not deliver within thirty (30) days from the date of the written Order and Shipping Confirmation or such other period as we specify, you may contact the Customer Relations Centre to cancel the relevant order and obtain a refund of any monies you have paid us in advance for any products you have not received.

We will require a handwritten or electronic signature from you, or from any person at the delivery address provided (unless you make other arrangements), to confirm delivery of each product, after which the risk and responsibility for the products you have purchased is transferred to you. If you have specified a recipient other than you for delivery (for example, a gift), you understand and agree that a signature of such recipient (or a person at the delivery address) constitutes proof of delivery and acknowledgement of the contract of sale by XRby, implying a transfer of responsibility to the recipient’s address as if the product had been delivered to you.
