Coolshop is a web shop through which the customer can purchase goods sold directly by Coolshop and other products from other companies which have decided to sell their products via the Coolshop page.

The following terms are followed when making a sales contract between Coolshop and the customer.

With any third party member affiliated with the sales contract, also customer protection laws and any specific terms affiliated with the third party will be used together with these terms.

1.1 Third party content

All trademarks belong to their rightful owners. Coolshop may provide links to websites which are not controlled by Coolshop. Coolshop cannot guarantee that the content found on third party links linked via Coolshop is accurate or up to date, neither that the websites follow the same privacy agreement and security measures as Coolshop. The address holder is responsible for the content inside the link.

1.2 Force Majeure

Coolshop is not liable for any damage that it caused by an unpreventable obstacle, unpredicted event or a change in circumstances that cannot be influenced by Coolshop and which Coolshop cannot prevent reasonably. These are for example, but not exclusively legal strikes, warfare, fire, weather phenomenon, terror strikes, changes in legislation, technical problems, communication errors, supplier difficulties, or something caused by the aforementioned. During the unpreventable circumstances the liability to cover any damage or do any compensation is voided. Coolshop is liable to inform the customer as fast as possible of any unpreventable circumstances affecting the sales contract .

1.3 Changes to these terms

Coolshop reserves the right to change these terms one sided without notifying the customer beforehand. All orders will follow the terms that were applied at the moment of purchase, visible at Coolshop’s website. All changes are immediate unless otherwise specified. The latest terms can always be found on the website. The customers will not necessarily be informed individually of these changes, e.g. via email. The customer needs to always read and accept the terms before any purchase.

2. Customer rights and responsibilities

Coolshop.co.uk sells products to private people who are of age (later on referred to as consumer) and to people under the age of 18 years with the approval of their legal caretakers. Ordering via any credit purchase method by a person under the age of 18 is strictly prohibited.

Coolshop can also sell to organizations and to other business partners with a contract made on a case by case basis directly with the buyer.

By ordering from Coolshop the buyer creates a user account to the shop. The customer is responsible for providing the seller with most up to date and accurate information, as well as responsible for any mistakes in the information. How the information will be handled and protected by Coolshop will be elaborated under Coolshop’s Privacy Policy, which is also part of these terms.

The customer can access his or her account at any time to view their current order status, and to view selected purchased download products.

The customer is liable for keeping his login information a secret and not to give the information to anyone else. Any information regarding the login information must be protected by the customer, and any documents containing this information must be kept so that outside parties have no access to them. Inability to comply will lead to liability to pay for any purchases made by another person with the account holder’s information.

The customer might be sent requests to review any ordered items or be sent other questionnaires. The customer is not required to answer or to react to these inquiries.

Any damage to goods that is noticed upon receiving the item must be informed to the seller, Coolshop, without unnecessary delay. Damages reported later after 14 days of receiving will be considered not being due to any mishandling by the sender or the courier. Any exceptions will be made on a case by case basis between a customer supporter and the customer.

Any customer account that has been used in violation to these terms can be closed without any warning.

2.1 Privacy policy

The privacy policy that is part of these terms can be viewed from: https://www.coolshop.co.uk/minisite/t/privacy

Information regarding browser cookies can be seen here: https://www.coolshop.co.uk/minisite/t/cookie

2.2 Information deletion request

Request to delete any customer information will be handled in accordance to these terms, and the request will be fulfilled in accordance to the Danish law and EU regulations regarding private information, and as fast as possible.

3. Products and prices

All prices shown on the page are including taxes and VAT. For purchases over £24.99 delivery is free of charge. For purchases below, a shipping fee of £3.99 is added to the order. All product descriptions are as accurate as possible, with the information received directly from the item publisher or manufacturer. If the item price is not correct, the item will not be sold if the customer can be recognized to have understood the price not to be accurate.

Product pictures are for illustrative purposes only. The pictures might not completely reflect the state or nature or origin of the item. Coolshop is not responsible for any information provided by a third party.

With exception to obviously incorrect prices described in the first paragraph of this point, items will be sold at the price that was agreed upon confirming the order. Price reductions on an item are not informed to the customer, but the customer has the right to inform the seller about price reductions, and the order price can be negotiated to reflect the price reduction.

Although the majority of games sold on Coolshop are specifically for the UK market, there will be some instances where in our effort to offer the CHEAPEST POSSIBLE PRICES some stock may say NOT TO BE SOLD IN THE UK’. But the game will work perfect in your machine.

We understand that this might seem surprising to some people. But let us reassure you that there is no trouble with the games. It is still a completely valid product. The main warehouse as well as the headquarters of Coolshop are located in Nordjylland Denmark. Coolshop is a Pan-European business, so the product we got can come from one of the European offices of the production company, and not from the UK office.

Coolshop is not liable for ordering items from a manufacturer in order to be able to send any item as per order request, even if the order is already confirmed. Orders with discontinued items will be refunded to the customer on an item by item basis.

4. Payment

You can pay by the following means of payment VISA, MasterCard or VISA Electron. All payments are charged in GBP.

The most up to date information regarding different payment methods can always be found from https://www.coolshop.co.uk/minisite/t/payment.

Coolshop is a Danish merchant, and therefore some cards can be charged a small fee for making purchases at an international merchant. This is a charge levied by the card issuer NOT by Coolshop. Some banks only charge if a foreign currency is being used - i.e. a FX charge is charged. However, this depends upon the issuer themselves.

For questions regarding your Coolshop invoice please contact our customer support team.

You'll receive advance notice on email when we have dispatched a product to you. Any objection must be made within 4 working days of advance notice being sent. Payments made by debit card are always protected against abuse. You have the option to refuse payment when you receive your payment history. In the unlikely event that your card is misused in an Internet store that uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) in its payment system you will be fully protected and can recover any loss incurred. Thus, you are better protected than in the physical world.

The data you submit in connection with purchases paid with by credit card is encrypted (SSL). Neither Coolshop or others have the opportunity to read the data you provide.

If the customer holds Coolshop points on his or her account, the customer can use those points to lower the price of his or her order in accordance to the point terms visible on https://www.coolshop.co.uk/min... Card Payment

When using a VISA, MasterCard or VISA Electron we will only charge your card when the goods are in stock and ready to be dispatched to you. Due to the way Solo and Maestro cards are processed by the banks, we are required to take payment in advance and regardless if an item is in stock or not.

For all card types and payments we can only charge you for the amount you have ordered and can never charge a larger amount than you have authorized and approved.

IMPORTANT! Your statement will show withdrawals from Entertainment Trading A/S. Coolshop is the trading name of Entertainment Trading A/S.

5. Delivery and transport

Coolshop.co.uk delivers to UK (for Denmark go to: http://www.coolshop.dk or for Sweden go to http://www.spelbutiken.se). Average shipping time will vary from product to product, but you can always see the expected delivery time on the product.

We always aim to send all orders before 3pm Monday-Thursday (Friday 2.30pm). During busy periods this is not always possible due to order volumes and therefore your orders will be sent as soon as possible. We can not offer refunds for late delivery.

All shipping time estimates are made on the basis of the information that has been provided to Coolshop by the couriers which are used to ship goods, and the information that has been received from the manufacturers and publishers of the goods.

Delivery time depends on whether the product is in stock. Normal delivery times are expected to take 6-12 business days from the date of dispatch but may take longer if circumstances beyond our control disrupt postal services. Missing / delayed items: Please note that we will need to wait 15 days before being able to trace, replace or refund lost items.

If the product is not in stock delivery time will be dependent on the time taken to source the goods from our suppliers. You can always see the status of your orders by viewing your personal account at Coolshop.co.uk as we constantly update you with the latest information we have received from the manufacturer. Just click on "Your Account" on the left or click on the link at the top of your Order Confirmation mail. You can always see the expected delivery time and inventory status on the product description before ordering.

After a product has been dispatched, we send a notification email to you. The email is automatically generated and sent from us at approximately 7:00pm. Once you have received your dispatch confirmation email, it means that we have charged, picked and dispatched the order to the address specified on account. If after 12 business days from the date of the confirmation email being sent, you do not receive your order, please contact our customer service team in order to initiate an inquiry. If no contact is made, we will consider orders successfully delivered after 5 business days.

If a consignment is lost or delayed as a subsequent result of entering incorrect/wrong details on the order, Coolshop.co.uk will not be held liable under any circumstances.

We offer a split order service on all orders at no extra cost. E.g. if an order contains 2 video games, one of which is 'out of stock', the in stock video game would be shipped immediately. The final product will be sent as soon as it arrives back in stock. We will deduct money from your credit card until the entire order is delivered to you.

If a video game/ product is on back order, you will automatically receive updates on the delivery time via email with new information we receive direct from the manufacturer.

Orders will be dispatched on a item by item basis based on the item stock, excluding bulk items which are sent only when the whole bulk can be dispatched. This means that an order can be sent in multiple shipments on different dates.

If a shipment is delivered to a pick up location the customer is responsible for retrieving the item within the holding time. Parcels are to be picked up personally and usually require a picture ID to be handed.

6. Cancellation right

The customer may cancel any not handled order through his or her Coolshop account. Note that the system can take up to 15 min to register the order confirmation, and during that period cancellations might not be registered. Also, after cancelling the order the cancellation will be confirmed within 15 minutes. Successfully cancelled orders will be refunded to the customer.

Cancellation request can also be done by contacting Coolshop customer support and by giving a written notice of the cancellation request, either via email or via the support chat function. After giving the cancellation request to a Coolshop employee it may take up to 48h for the order to be cancelled, in which time the order may already been sent out, thus making the cancellation impossible.

Orders that could have been cancelled in good time by the customer through their Coolshop account but were already sent out are not considered cancelled.
