7.- PRICES AND PAYMENT

Here we provide you with some aspects to be taken into account at the time of purchase, regarding the price and method of payment of the products:

1. Through this Website, you will pay the price specified in the contract for the services requested. Payment is made in the different ways specified in the purchase procedure of the Website and according to the deadlines indicated therein. The prices indicated on the Website are the final prices and include taxes, except if by legal requirement, specifically in relation to VAT, a different matter is indicated and applied. Prices do NOT include import duties or any other import or intermediary fees, which are also to be borne by the customers.
2. The prices indicated always appear in Euros (€), except in the case of a customized quotation, in which case payment in USD ($) may be agreed.
3.  The price of our products will be broken down into:
   • Product value.
   • Shipping costs.
   • Handling fees, which include the associated transaction fees and the pre-production costs, a percentage of the total cost of the final product, that will vary depending on the method of payment the client chose during the checkout and the product selected.
4. If the order is placed by credit card, the viability of the payment will be verified at the time the order is placed. If the credit card is rejected, AURUM will not complete the transaction.
5. If you make payment by card, you must also take into account the following:
   1. AURUM guarantees that each transaction made is 100% secure. All transactions involving the transmission of personal or banking data are carried out in a secure environment to ensure the confidentiality and security of the payment data you provide to us during the transaction procedure carried out through the Website. AURUM uses a server based on the standard security technology SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). All the information you provide to us circulates in encrypted form through the network.
   2. Your credit card information is not registered in any database. They are sent directly to the POS (Point of Sale Terminal) of the financial institution in question.
   3. Additionally, we inform you that, to provide greater security to credit card holders, AURUM has incorporated the secure payment system called CES (Secure Electronic Commerce). Thus, if you are a <<secured>> cardholder, you will always be able to make payments with VISA or MASTERCARD in our online store.
   4. In case your card is not adhered to this payment system, AURUM will only admit payment by VISA or MASTERCARD to customers with proven seniority and reliability.
   5. In both cases, when paying with VISA or MASTERCARD, the following data will always be requested: card number, expiration date and validation code that coincides with the last 3 digits of the number printed in italics on the back of your VISA or MASTERCARD, thus offering more guarantees on the security of the transaction.
   6. Important: Credit card fraud is a crime, so we reserve our rights to take legal action as we deem appropriate against anyone who makes a fraudulent transaction in our online store.
6. The prices indicated on the Website and in commercial advertisements may be changed without prior notice. The price charged for an order will be the price in effect at the time the order is placed.
7. Personalized quotations are valid for 15 days from the time they are prepared and sent. This is normally indicated on the quotation itself.
8. Finally, we inform you that AURUM will not be liable for any additional surcharge due to payment in different currencies, nor for user errors related to the payment in the account number indicated by AURUM, since this would be the sole liability of the client. In these cases, AURUM may pass these surcharges on to the client.

8.- ORDER PROCESSING AND SHIPPING

Given that the only way to purchase our products is remotely, it is understood that the delivery is made at the address of each of our customers, or at the place they indicate when making the purchase.

The orders received by AURUM will be completed within the period we specify throughout the purchase process and order confirmation, being the maximum delivery period of 30 calendar days from the moment we receive the payment of the product/s, unless prevented by force majeure or lack of stock of any of the components of the product, in which case we will inform you in case, apart from the solutions offered by our team, you would like to cancel the order, returning the money paid, except for the expenses that would have been incurred. Thus, if for any circumstance this deadline is not met, AURUM will inform (before the end of the initial delivery period) the client of the status of the order and will try to expedite the shipment of the order as much as possible.

However, AURUM will not be liable for delays due to external causes. Also, the following shall apply:

• Delays in the delivery time do not give the right to cancel the order placed or to claim damages.
• The delivery time of the products will depend on the shipping address.
• When the products are sent to you by a common carrier, our liability regarding for such damages due to breakage and/or non-delivery of the products by the common carrier will be limited by the terms agreed between said carrier and AURUM as well as by Contract of Land Transportation of Goods Spanish Act. From AURUM we recommend that you do not accept boxes with evident signs of deterioration and in case of doing so, it is imperative that you leave a record of the poor condition of the box to the carrier according to what we indicate in section 9.2 of these T & C.
• Import duties, or any other import and brokerage fees, shall be borne by the customer.

Delivery may be made by any of the following means depending on the particular situation of each user:
