prices presented in the online store include the prevailing value added tax.

specifications.
If the product is in our warehouse, the estimated delivery time is three to seven (3–7)
working days. However, the delivery time for some products may be seven to fourteen (7–

If the Customer purchases several products for which LUTShop has announced differing
delivery times, the longer delivery time will apply.
We will not deliver products beyond Finland.
6. Return, exchange and product defect policy
Under the Finnish Consumer Protection Act, Customers have a 14-day right to return or
exchange a product. The right of exchange or return starts when the Customer receives the
product, publication or service. We will not take back products after 14 days have elapsed
since their delivery. Products returned or exchanged should be in their original package and
in the condition in which they were delivered to the Customer. All expenses ensuing from
the return/exchange will be paid by the Customer unless there is a clear error through fault
of the Retailer.
Customers must inform LUT of product errors within a reasonable time of having noticed
the error or from when the error should have been noticed. LUTShop will compensate for
the error without cost primarily by replacing the product with a flawless one. If this is not
possible, LUT will refund the price paid by the Customer to the account given by the
Customer when LUT has received the defective product back from the Customer.
Product returns must always be agreed on separately with the Retailer. The Customer
should contact the Retailer before returning a product.
7. Maintenance, usability and errors of service
The Retailer does its best to provide uninterrupted and error-free service in the online
store. The Retailer has the right to interrupt the online store’s service for technical reasons
in order to make changes or renew the store, because of telecommunications network
maintenance, instalment or service work, or if legislation or orders by authorities so require.
The aim is to schedule service breaks so as not to inconvenience Customers excessively.
The Retailer is not liable for mistakes due to third-party telecommunications connections or
other telecommunications-related service interruptions or errors in such services. The
Retailer is not liable for errors resulting from the Customer using the online store in
violation of guidelines or orders or otherwise resulting from the Customer’s actions.
8. Data protection
Privacy in the online store is ensured with the SSL protocol. Customers are responsible for
the appropriate data protection of their own information systems. The Retailer keeps all
data on Customers or sent by Customers confidential. The Retailer arranges the data
protection of its online store in an appropriate and efficient way and applies suitable
technical solutions to prevent unauthorised parties from accessing its information systems.

allowed to disturb or otherwise impede the operation of the online store or other network

may be refunded to the Customer.
The Retailer is not liable for any indirect or direct compensations due to disturbances or
errors referred to in section 6.

order issued by authorities, interruption in energy supply, raw material shortage, cable or
other telecommunications disturbance caused by a third party, or a similar reason that
could not be foreseen and prepared for within reason. The Retailer will announce any force
majeures on the online store’s site after they have occurred and if announcing them is
possible.
