Orders
All orders are subject to acceptance. Any orders placed by the User will be treated as an offer to purchase our goods or services and, as such, we reserve the right to refuse these offers at any time. The User acknowledges that the automated confirmation of their order does not validate our acceptance of their offer to purchase products or services advertised on the Website. The conclusion of a contract between us and the User will take place when:
(i) payment for the order has been made; or
(ii) we dispatch the goods or begin providing the services, whichever occurs later, at which point an email will be sent to the User confirming that the contract has been concluded, referred to as the “Dispatch Confirmation”.
The contract will relate only to the goods or services whose dispatch has been confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation.
We will take all possible care to keep order and payment details secure. Therefore, in the absence of negligence on our part, we shall not be held responsible for any loss you may suffer if a third party obtains unauthorised access to any data provided by the User when accessing or ordering from the Website.
The products sold on the Website are not intended for resale or distribution. We reserve the right to cancel orders and suspend accounts that we believe are ordering products in breach of this provision.
The User shall be responsible for assuming the risk of the products once they have been delivered to the delivery address specified at the time of ordering. We do not accept responsibility where an incorrect delivery address has been provided or where the User fails to collect the products at the specified delivery address.
Nevertheless, the risk of loss of or damage to the products will only become the User’s responsibility after delivery to the delivery address.
Alma Colchões delivers all orders through an external transport service, with the cost of delivery included in the product price. Delivery is only available in mainland Portugal, and the average order dispatch time is 15 working days. This timeframe may be subject to delays during periods of higher order volume.
Delivery is considered completed upon signature of the delivery receipt at the agreed address.
If the carrier is unable to complete the delivery due to reasons attributable to the customer, a fee of €50 + VAT will be charged for the redelivery of each item.
The purchase of the Alma Lift bed includes, in addition to delivery to the address, the assembly of the item.

Exchange or Cancellation Rights
As provided by law, Alma Colchões allows the exchange or return of items within 14 days after delivery of the order, provided that the items meet certain requirements, namely:
the items are sealed and in their original packaging;
the items show no signs of use, handling or alteration;
the items are returned with all original documentation, including the invoice and packaging.
To request an exchange or return, the customer must access their customer account area and start the request through the return option.
If the exchange or return is being requested due to a defect or other non-conformity, Alma Colchões will bear the costs related to the exchange or return process. After receiving the exchange or return request, we will send the customer the return label(s) and will dispatch a new item once the returned item has been received at our warehouse.
If the exchange or return is requested solely at the customer’s discretion, the costs related to the exchange or return process shall be borne by the customer, who must send the item with postage and all charges prepaid to the address indicated by the customer support team.
After receiving the items at our facilities, we will carry out a careful inspection and, once the conditions for the exchange have been confirmed, Alma Colchões will proceed with the refund or new shipment within 14 days.
In the case of a return, the amount to be refunded will exclude shipping costs and will be returned using the same payment method originally used by the customer, unless the original payment was made by Multibanco, using entity and reference. In that case, the customer must provide their IBAN so that the amount can be refunded by bank transfer.
In accordance with the tolerances established by national and international industry standards, the materials used in the manufacture of mattresses may show a dimensional variation of up to 10% with use, due to material adaptability.

Prices and Payment
The prices displayed on the Website include VAT at the legal rate in force.
The prices shown are correct at the time the information is entered into the system. However, we reserve the right to change prices at any time without prior notice, except for changes affecting orders for which an Order Confirmation has already been sent.
In the unlikely event that the price shown on the confirmation page is incorrect and this error is discovered before we accept the User’s order, in accordance with clause 9, we are not obliged to sell the goods at the displayed price. We always try to ensure that the prices of goods displayed on the Website are accurate, but errors may occasionally occur. If we discover an error in the price of the goods ordered by the User, the User will be informed as soon as possible and will have the option to maintain the order at the correct price or cancel it. If the User chooses to cancel and has already paid for the goods, but they have not yet been dispatched, the User will receive a full refund.
The User confirms that the payment method is managed by them, from among the options made available by Alma Colchões: debit/credit card, Klarna, MB Way, Multibanco, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
We reserve the right to wait for payment within 48 hours. If payment is not successful, the User will be notified through the email address provided.
If the User does not want us to attempt to process the payment again, they must cancel their order before processing.
We authorise the use of promotional codes strictly under the terms and conditions under which they were issued. These may include, among others, terms relating to the User’s eligibility to use them and a maximum order value. The User should familiarise themselves with such terms and conditions before placing an order, as we reserve the right to reject or cancel any orders that do not comply with these Terms, even if the User’s credit or debit card has been charged.
If there is any inconsistency between the terms and conditions under which the promotional codes were issued and these Terms, the terms and conditions of the promotional codes shall prevail. A copy of the terms and conditions of discount codes can be obtained through our email or telephone contact.
