The "purchase procedure" in both cases will be as follows:

The purchaser acknowledges and accepts that the purchase of any add-on available on the Website (plugs, switches, cable glands or similar) will require the simultaneous purchase of at least one lamp offered on the same page. Therefore, the purchase of accessories on the Website may not be made independently.
Only in exceptional cases at the sole discretion of GEKKO BNC, may the purchase of add-ons be considered on a stand-alone basis, without requiring the purchase of a lamp. These exceptions will apply in specific situations which should be consulted in advance with GEKKO BCN at info@gekkobcn.com.

The stock of products is a determining factor in all orders and is subject to availability. However, in the event of any unforeseen difficulties in supply, GEKKŌ BCN will notify and refund any amount paid within a maximum period of 14 (fourteen) working days.
Discount codes
If you have discount codes, you must enter the code in the space provided when processing the order.
Offers, discount codes and coupons (hereinafter referred to as "Discounts") are valid only for the duration and under the conditions of validity of the offer. The Discounts may under no circumstances be converted into a refundable or payable amount to the customer.
Discounts may only be used by the customer concerned and are in no case transferable to third parties. They shall be deducted from the amount of the order including all taxes, excluding shipping costs. Unless otherwise stipulated in the case of a special discount offer, discounts cannot be combined with each other when placing an order.

All descriptions, product photographs, information and materials provided on this website are provided without express or implied warranties, except as provided by law.
Some products may appear slightly larger or smaller than their actual size due to screen settings and photographic techniques used. In addition, some items may be represented at a larger or smaller size than their actual size for the purpose of highlighting details or showing the item in its entirety.
In addition, colour tones and details in product photographs may be affected by the resolution of your monitor and may differ from the actual colours.
We strongly recommend that you carefully read the description, features, dimensions, warnings and instructions for use, maintenance and installation on the product before or during use, as these contain extremely important and up-to-date information on the use of the product.
Hipping options and delivery times
The delivery of orders will be carried out through transport companies with which we have collaboration agreements. The delivery times, with few exceptions, are as follows:
- For products in stock, the delivery time will be from 3 to 7 working days for deliveries in the Iberian Peninsula, from 7 to 14 working days for deliveries in the Balearic Islands or Canary Islands, and from 5 to 9 working days for deliveries to European Union countries or the United Kingdom.

Generally speaking, we only ship to the countries listed in the drop-down menu on our website when you place your order. If you need to place an order outside these geographical areas, we invite you to contact us at info@gekkobcn.com, and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
You can also request free collection of the product at our offices at: C/ SANT MEDIR, 15 - 08172 SANT CUGAT DEL VALLÈS (BARCELONA).

Please note that our orders are processed and managed from Monday to Friday, and no collections or deliveries are made on Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays. GEKKŌ BCN cannot assume responsibility if the data provided in the purchase is inaccurate or incomplete, or if it is not possible to complete the delivery due to the absence of the recipient or other circumstances beyond GEKKŌ BCN's control.
It is important to note that exceptional circumstances may arise, such as Christmas periods, transport strikes, adverse weather conditions or other similar factors, which may cause delays in shipments.
Shipping costs
Shipping costs shall be borne by the customer, unless otherwise specified when placing the order.
Detailed information on applicable shipping costs will be provided prior to confirmation of purchase.
Policies relating to shipping and delivery may be subject to change and will be reflected in this section or communicated in advance during the checkout process.
Payment methods
The permitted methods of payment are:
Card:
The purchase price will be charged to your bank account, usually immediately or within 24 hours from the day of the order and, this will be effective after confirmation of payment to our bank.
In the event that the POS (RedSys Point of Sale Terminal) informs us that the card has been refused, the order will be automatically cancelled, informing you on-line or by e-mail of this cancellation.
The bank details entered are encrypted and securely transmitted to the bank's servers and then verified with the issuing bank to prevent fraud and abuse.
Your card details are not stored by us and are protected by SSL protocols in their transmission over the internet.
Bizum:
By making a purchase through Bizum, the customer accepts and agrees to comply with the following conditions:
The customer must have a bank account linked to Bizum and have the necessary funds to complete the transaction.
The customer shall be responsible for providing accurate and up-to-date information at the time of payment, including the mobile phone number associated with their Bizum account.
Once the Bizum payment has been made, a confirmation of the transaction will be generated. The customer will receive a confirmation notification in their Bizum application and/or by email, as appropriate.
All transactions through Bizum are subject to the security policies and terms of use of Bizum and the bank that manages it.
GEKKŌ BCN reserves the right to reject any payment via Bizum if suspicious activity is detected or verification requirements are not met.
GEKKŌ BCN does not store or have access to the customer's financial information used in the transaction.
Bank transfer:
When you select bank transfer you will receive, together with the confirmation of your order, an e-mail with GEKKŌ BCN's bank details.
It is very important that when making the transfer you indicate in the subject line the order number, as well as your name and surname, and make the transfer within the next working day after the order confirmation date in order to validate the order.
In the case of payment by bank transfer, you must ensure that you send proof of payment by e-mail within one working day of purchase, stating your personal details and order number to: info@gekkobcn.com.
Failure to receive proof of payment within this period will mean that GEKKŌ BCN will proceed to cancel the order.
Payment must be made in EUROS. All possible exchange and bank commissions will be paid by the customer.
In the case of bank transfers made from outside Spain, it is of vital importance that, when requesting the transfer, the customer informs his bank that he will assume the commissions at origin and the expenses corresponding to his bank. Otherwise, GEKKŌ BCN may withhold the shipment of the order, as it will not have received the full amount of the order.
PayPal™:
If you select PayPal™ as payment method, the page will redirect you to its platform to complete the payment at the end of the purchase process.
If you are already a PayPal™ customer, you will be able to confirm the payment by logging into your account with your user details.
If you are not registered with PayPal™, you will simply need to complete the registration form or log in as a guest.
Only the Bank and PayPal™ have access to the bank details linked to these means of payment, so GEKKŌ BCN does not know or record these details during the payment transaction neither by POS nor by PayPal™.
Please, note that by paying with PayPal™, you accept its terms and conditions.
