Preamble

The Terms and Conditions of Use define the general rules for using the website. They specify the conditions of access to the Services and outline the rights and obligations of users.

Welcome to EquoNova®! The terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to EquoNova®. EquoNova® operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, and services, to provide you, as a customer, with a personalized shopping experience (the “Services”). EquoNova® is a store powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.

The General Terms of Use below describe your rights and responsibilities when using the Services.

Please read these Terms and Conditions of Use carefully, as they contain important information about your legal rights and cover areas such as disclaimers and limitations of liability.

By visiting, interacting with, or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use or this Privacy Policy, you must not use or access our Services, and you must not use the site or purchase our products or services.

You must be of legal age to use our services or have the permission of a responsible adult.

Your information must be accurate, complete and up-to-date.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all actions taken through your account.

To use the Services, including accessing or browsing our online stores, or to purchase any of the products or services we offer, you may be asked to provide certain information, such as your email address, billing, payment, and shipping information. You represent and warrant that all information you provide in our stores is correct, current, and complete, and that you have all the necessary rights to provide such information.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all account activity. You are not authorized to transfer, sell, assign, or give away your account to any other person.

Section 2 – Our services

We strive to provide an accurate and comprehensive description of our services on our website. However, the content presented (descriptions, images, illustrations, testimonials) is for informational purposes only and may change depending on your needs or updates to our offerings.

We cannot guarantee that the final product will exactly match the expectations or the preview presented on the website.

All service descriptions are subject to change at any time without notice, at our sole discretion. We also reserve the right to temporarily or permanently suspend or withdraw certain services, or limit their availability based on workload, geographic area, or other criteria defined by EquoNova®.

Section 3 – Request for a quote and initial contact

Before any service is provided, you can contact us for information, initial advice or a free analysis of your needs, as well as a personalized estimate or quote.

All requests for quotes constitute a request for information and not a firm order. EquoNova® reserves the right to refuse or not respond to a quote request for any reason whatsoever.

The quote provided by EquoNova® must be approved by you before any work is carried out. The service will only begin after your explicit acceptance of the quote.

We make every effort to provide accurate information in quotes, but the proposed timelines, prices and content are indicative and can be adjusted according to your specific needs or constraints.

The services are intended for your personal or professional use and may not be resold or transferred without the written consent of EquoNova®.

Section 4 – Pricing and Billing

Service fees, as well as any promotions or special offers, are subject to change without notice. The price quoted is the price applicable at the time of its creation and is valid only if the quote is accepted by the client.

Unless otherwise stated, service prices do not include any costs related to travel, specific supplies or other additional costs necessary to perform the service.

Prices quoted by EquoNova® may differ from those indicated in other media or by third parties. Any promotion or special offer is governed by specific terms and conditions which, in the event of a conflict with these Terms and Conditions, shall prevail.

You agree to provide accurate, complete and up-to-date information when validating any quote or payment for services, and to promptly inform EquoNova® of any changes (address, contact details, payment information).

You represent and warrant that: (i) the payment information you provide is accurate and complete, (ii) you are duly authorized to make the payment for the service in question, (iii) the amounts due will be honored according to the terms set out in the validated quote, and (iv) you will pay all the amounts indicated, including any applicable fees and taxes, if any.

Section 5 – Performance of services

EquoNova® strives to complete services within the timeframes agreed upon with the client, as indicated in the quote or during prior discussions. However, these timeframes are indicative only and do not constitute a firm commitment.

We cannot be held responsible for delays due to events beyond our control, such as customer unavailability, technical constraints, weather conditions, or other exceptional circumstances.

EquoNova®'s responsibility for the service begins at the time of completion of the service or delivery of the agreed deliverables, and is understood within the framework of the terms defined in the quote accepted by the client.
