4 Conclusion of contract and reservation

The description of products and presentation of goods on the Brewmist website in the course of sales campaigns does not constitute a legally binding offer, but merely an invitation customers to order goods or services. There is no legal claim to the availability and deliverability of the products advertised. Sales campaigns are only directed at consumers, i.e. any natural person concluding a legal transaction for a purpose that cannot be ascribed either to their commercial or independent professional activities. Brewmist reserves the right in due course to make orders under sales campaigns subject to fulfillment of certain individual conditions. To order a product advertised by Brewmist, you must take the following steps: Place an article in the basket. Enter the delivery and payment information. Actively agree to the General Terms and Conditions and the Cancellation Policy. Send your order by pressing the "Place Order" button. By forwarding your online order, you are making Brewmist an offer to conclude a legally binding contract. By clicking on the "Place Order" button, you are placing a binding order for the goods in the basket, confirming that you are authorized to place such an order, i.e. minors must have the permission of their legal representatives. Immediately on receipt of your order, you will receive an automated email in which the receipt of your offer will be confirmed, thus concluding the contract. All goods remain the property of Brewmist until full payment of the purchase price has been received and all claims resulting from the sale have been settled. You will not be entitled to dispose of the goods before transfer of ownership. If third parties should institute claims for the goods, you are obliged to inform Brewmist immediately. If, before concluding the contract, Brewmist finds that the ordered product is not available, we will immediately inform you about this and reimburse any payments already received. If, after concluding a contract, Brewmist should find that the product ordered is not available as a result of late or incorrect delivery (including delivery shortfalls) by our suppliers (where Brewmist is not responsible), unexpectedly and despite the fact that we have concluded a contract for delivery of the goods in question with the supplier, we reserve the right to withdraw from the contract. In this case Brewmist will immediately inform you about the non-availability of the product you have ordered and immediately reimburse any payments already received from you. Brewmist is entitled to reject any offers made by you without citing reasons. Brewmist particularly reserves the right to reject an offer where: the delivery address is outside Portugal; the payment is not received, even after a reminder has been sent and a payment period stipulated.
