3. COST, AVAILABILITY AND INFORMATION ON GOODS
3.1 The prices of all goods on the asapparts e-shop are listed in euros and include the current value-added tax of Estonia.
3.2 In addition to the price of the goods, the buyer is responsible for paying the cost of transportation to the delivery location. This cost varies depending on the quantity, weight, dimensions, and location of the goods. It is possible to receive the goods without transport costs at the seller's shop and/or warehouse, unless otherwise stated on the website asapparts.ee.
3.3 The goods selected by the buyer are added to a virtual shopping cart, and their cost is automatically calculated. Before making the payment, the buyer can review the contents and cost of the cart on the website.

3.6 The seller has the right to change the prices of goods at any time without prior notice to the buyer.

If the price becomes more favorable than the one set on the invoice, the buyer is not entitled to claim compensation for the difference in price.
3.7 It is the responsibility of the buyer to immediately inform the seller of any errors or issues that prevent the use of the asapparts e-shop.

6.10 The Buyer is responsible for the costs associated with returning the goods, except in cases where the goods do not match the description provided on the asapparts e-shop.
6.11 If the goods and/or packaging returned by the Buyer are damaged or in poor condition (showing signs of installation, paint, writing on the package, etc.), the Seller has the right to reassess the price of the goods and lower it due to the damage and deduct it from the amount refunded to the Buyer; or refuse to accept the goods altogether. In the event that the Buyer disagrees with the reduction in the value of the goods as a result of the reassessment, the Buyer has the right to engage an independent, licensed expert for a fair evaluation of the value reduction. The cost of the expert assessment will be borne by the party whose opinion is deemed unfounded.
6.12 The Seller reserves the right to terminate the sales contract if a technical error causes a product's price to be disproportionately low compared to market prices and the Seller is unable to prove that the price is a result of product damage. Additionally, the Seller has the right to withdraw from the contract if the goods are out of stock even after the Buyer has made payment. The Seller has the right to refuse to fulfill these transactions and will notify the Buyer accordingly.
