_____________________________________________________________________

Welcome to GPW! 

We’re so glad you’re here! By using our website or purchasing something from us, you agree to the following terms and conditions. These terms exist to ensure a safe and smooth experience for everyone. 

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at care@globalpeoplew.com. 

______________________________________________________________________

1. Introduction

When we say "us," “we," or "GPW" we mean “GPW & LIFE+DESIGN” (CVR no. 37507644), C.A. Olesens Gade 4, 9000 Aalborg, Denmark.

These terms and conditions apply when you place an order with us via our website www.globalpeoplew.shop

By placing your order, you accept these terms and conditions, or simply "the terms”. Therefore, please ensure that you have read and understood them before making a purchase.

____________________________________________________________________

2. Using Our Website 

Who Can Use It?: You must be 18 years old to use our website or have a parent/guardian's consent. To place an order, you must have the legal capacity to enter into agreements, which means you must be at least 18 years old and not under legal guardianship. Orders paid with credit cards or gift cards can be placed by individuals aged 15 or older. Additionally, you must have a valid email address and a delivery address in Denmark (excluding Greenland and the Faroe Islands).

Responsible use: Don’t break any laws, misuse our content, or harm the site (no viruses or spam, please). 

If you don’t follow these rules, we might have to stop providing services to you. 

__________________________________________________________________

3. Your Account & Purchases 

Keep It Updated: Make sure the information you provide is accurate and current so we can process your orders smoothly. 

Orders: We might limit or cancel orders if something seems off, and we’ll notify you if that happens. We reserve the right to reject any order if we suspect it may be fraudulent. If you wish to order larger amounts of the same products, please contact us beforehand.

Orders may not be placed for business, corporate, or commercial purposes. Contact us if you’re interested in such purposes. Please note that we do not provide VAT invoices for business use without prior agreement.

When you place an order with us, you are making a binding offer to purchase the items in your shopping bag, but you have 30 days to request a return from when you received your order, as described in our Return & Refund Policy, and can then return the order to us within 1 week.

_____________________________________________________________________

4. Products and Services 

Availability: Items are only available online and can become sold out. 

Details: We do our best to describe products accurately, but slight differences (like color) may occur. 

Changes: Prices and product availability might change without notice.

_____________________________________________________________________

5. Pricing

All prices are with tax included.

Shipping: Shipping is currently free for you, but we reserve the right to change this at any time without notice. If shipping is free when you place your order, it will remain free for that order, provided it was indicated as free in your shopping cart at the time of purchase.

Return Fee: All return packages weighing up to 5 kilograms cost 39 DKK. We expect that most orders will weigh below 5 kilograms. For return packages weighing over 5 kilograms, we will apply a higher return fee to cover the increased return shipping costs. This will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Offers: From time to time, we may offer special promotions, discount codes, gifts, and other deals. These offers are valid only during the specified period and subject to the terms and conditions directly associated with them. Unless explicitly stated otherwise on globalpeoplew.shop, promotions cannot be combined with other discounts. In some cases, you may need to enter a discount code at checkout to take advantage of the offer, and other times it will be applied automatically.

____________________________________________________________________

6. Payment

You can pay with Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, American Express, Google Pay, Maestro, PayPal, Shop Pay & Union Pay.

Payment is shortly after when you place an order, before we ship your order to you, because we, as a new brand, only offer made-to-order products and work with a subcontractor/supplier who only starts producing the items after receiving payment from you. Therefore, we have to charge in advance. This applies when we offer made-to-order products, but we hope to change this in the future when we can stock inventory. Thank you for your understanding.

You will receive an electronic receipt by email and an order confirmation when we approve your order. Remember to provide your correct email address and inform us if you change it, so we can ensure that you receive your order and for any relevant communication regarding your order.

__________________________________________________________________

7. Shipping & delivery

We refer to our Shipping Policy for details.

When your order is shipped, you will receive a tracking number via email to monitor its progress.

All orders are delivered to the address you provided when placing your order, but currently only to Danish adresses (except Greenland and the Faroe Islands).

Although we do our best to deliver within the specified timeframe, delivery may sometimes take longer due to unforeseen events. If your order does not arrive within 15 days from when you placed your order, please contact us at care@globalpeoplew.com and we will be happy to help you.

____________________________________________________________________

8. Returns and Refunds

________________________________________________________________

10. Your Comments & Feedback

__________________________________________________________________

13. Limitations and Responsibility

HANDELSBETINGELSER

 

Velkommen til GPW!

Vi er så glade for, at du er her! Ved at bruge vores hjemmeside eller købe noget fra os accepterer du følgende vilkår og betingelser.

Disse vilkår er skabt for at sikre en tryg og smidig oplevelse for alle der bruger vores webshop/hjemmeside (www.globalpeoplew.shop).

Hvis du har spørgsmål, er du velkommen til at kontakte os på care@globalpeoplew.com. 

_________________________________________________________________

1. Introduktion

Når vi siger "os," "vi" eller "GPW," mener vi “GPW & LIFE+DESIGN” (CVR-nr. 37507644), C.A. Olesens Gade 4, 9000 Aalborg, Danmark. 

Disse vilkår og betingelser gælder, når du afgiver en ordre hos os via vores hjemmeside www.globalpeoplew.shop. 

Ved at afgive din ordre accepterer du disse vilkår og betingelser, eller blot "vilkårene". Sørg derfor for at have læst og forstået dem, inden du køber. 

___________________________________________________________________

2. Brug af vores hjemmeside

Hvem kan bruge vores webshop?: Du skal være 18 år gammel for at bruge vores hjemmeside eller have samtykke fra en forælder/værge. For at afgive en ordre skal du have retsevne til at indgå aftaler, hvilket betyder, at du skal være mindst 18 år og ikke være under værgemål. Ordrer, der betales med betalingskort eller gavekort, kan afgives af personer på 15 år eller ældre. Derudover skal du have en gyldig e-mailadresse og en leveringsadresse i Danmark (eksklusive Grønland og Færøerne). 

Ansvarsfuld brug: Overtræd ikke nogen lovgivning, misbrug ikke vores indhold, og skad ikke hjemmesiden (ingen vira eller spam, tak).

Hvis du ikke følger disse regler, kan vi være nødt til at stoppe med at levere vores tjenester og produkter til dig. 

____________________________________________________________________

3. Din konto og køb

Korrekte oplysninger: Sørg for, at de oplysninger, du giver, er nøjagtige og aktuelle, så vi kan behandle dine ordrer uden problemer. 

Bestilling af ordrer: Vi kan begrænse eller annullere ordrer, hvis noget virker mistænkeligt, og vi giver dig besked, hvis det sker. Vi forbeholder os retten til at afvise enhver ordre, hvis vi mistænker svindel. Hvis du ønsker at bestille større mængder af de samme produkter, bedes du kontakte os på forhånd.

Ordrer må ikke afgives til erhvervs-, virksomheds- eller kommercielle formål. Kontakt os, hvis du er interesseret i sådanne formål. Bemærk, at vi ikke leverer momsopkrævninger til erhvervsmæssig brug uden forudgående aftale. 

Når du afgiver en ordre hos os, giver du et bindende tilbud om at købe varerne i din shoppingbag, men du har 30 dage til at anmode om returnering fra det tidspunkt, du modtager din ordre, som beskrevet i vores Returnerings- og Refunderingspolitik, og kan dernæst returnere ordren til os indenfor 1 uge.

___________________________________________________________________

4. Produkter og tjenester

Tilgængelighed: Varerne er kun tilgængelige online og kan blive udsolgt.

Detaljer: Vi gør vores bedste for at beskrive produkter præcist, men små afvigelser (som farve) kan forekomme. 

Ændringer: Priser og tilgængelighed kan ændres uden varsel. 

____________________________________________________________________

5. Priser

Alle priser er inkl. moms. 

Levering: Levering er i øjeblikket gratis for dig, men vi forbeholder os retten til at ændre dette til enhver tid uden varsel. Hvis levering er gratis, når du afgiver din ordre, forbliver den gratis for den ordre, forudsat at det var angivet i din indkøbskurv på købstidspunktet. 

Returneringsgebyr: Alle pakker der sendes retur til os og som vejer op til 5 kg, koster 39 DKK. Vi forventer, at de fleste ordrer vejer under 5 kg. For returneringspakker, der vejer over 5 kg, pålægges et højere gebyr for at dække de øgede omkostninger. Dette vil blive specificeret fra gang til gang.

Tilbud: Fra tid til anden tilbyder vi kampagner, rabatkoder, gaver og andre tilbud. Disse tilbud er kun gyldige i den angivne periode og underlagt de specifikke betingelser, der gælder for dem. Medmindre andet er udtrykkeligt angivet på globalpeoplew.shop, kan tilbud ikke kombineres med andre rabatter. I nogle tilfælde skal du tilføje en rabatkode ved checkout for at udnytte tilbuddet, mens det andre gange bliver anvendt automatisk. 

___________________________________________________________________

6. Betaling

Du kan betale med Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, American Express, Google Pay, Maestro, PayPal, Shop Pay og Union Pay. 

Betaling sker kort efter, at du afgiver en ordre og inden vi afsender varerne til dig, da vi som nyt brand kun tilbyder bestillingsvarer og samarbejder med en underleverandør/producent, som først starter produktionen efter at have modtaget betalingen fra dig. Derfor opkræver vi forudbetaling. Dette gælder, når vi tilbyder bestillingsprodukter, men vi håber at kunne ændre dette i fremtiden, når vi kan lagerføre varer. Vi takker for din forståelse.

Du vil modtage en elektronisk kvittering via e-mail og en ordrebekræftelse, når vi godkender din ordre. Husk at oplyse din korrekte e-mailadresse og give os besked, hvis du ændrer den, så vi kan sikre din ordre bliver leveret til dig, og sikre al relevant kommunikation i forbindelse med din ordre.

___________________________________________________________________

7. Levering og forsendelse

Se venligst vores Leveringspolitik (Shipping policy) for detaljer. 

Når din ordre sendes, vil du modtage et trackingnummer via e-mail, så du kan følge din pakkes aktuelle status.

Alle ordrer leveres til den adresse, du opgav ved bestilling, men i øjeblikket kun til danske adresser (undtagen Grønland og Færøerne). 

Selvom vi gør vores bedste for at levere inden for den angivne tidsramme, kan levering nogle gange tage længere tid på grund af uventede begivenheder. Hvis din ordre ikke ankommer inden for 15 dage fra bestillingstidspunktet, kontakt os da venligst på care@globalpeoplew.com, så sørger vi for at hjælpe dig.

___________________________________________________________________

8. Returnering og refundering

For returneringer eller ombytning henvises til vores Returnerings- og Refunderingspolitik (Return and refund policy) samt vores Returneringsguide (Return Guide) på www.globalpeoplew.shop/pages/returnguide. 

 

___________________________________________________________________

9. Links til tredjeparter og tredjepartsværktøjer 

Vi kan tilbyde links til andre hjemmesider eller værktøjer. Selvom vi har tillid til disse tredjeparters hjemmesider og vælger dem med omhu, er vi ikke ansvarlige for noget på disse sider - brug dem på egen risiko. 

__________________________________________________________________

10. Dine kommentarer og feedback

Feedback velkomment: Vi vil gerne høre dine forslag og idéer, og kan bruge dem til at forbedre vores tjenester (selvom vi dog ikke er forpligtede til det).

Vær respektfuld: Del eller skriv ikke noget skadeligt, ulovligt eller vildledende. 

___________________________________________________________________

11. Privatliv

Dine personlige oplysninger behandles i overensstemmelse med vores Privatlivspolitik (Privacy policy), som vi henviser til. 

 

__________________________________________________________________

12. Opdateringer af tjenester og produkter

Vi forbeholder os retten til at opdatere eller stoppe vores tjenester og produkter når som helst. 

Hvis vi ændrer disse vilkår, vil de opdaterede vilkår blive offentliggjort her. Sørg derfor for jævnligt at vende tilbage til denne side for at holde dig opdateret. Ændringer træder i kraft, når du accepterer dem, typisk i forbindelse med et nyt køb. 

___________________________________________________________________

13. Ansvarsbegrænsning og ansvar

Ansvarsfraskrivelse: Selvom vi stræber efter at levere en problemfri og pålidelig oplevelse, kan vi ikke garantere uafbrudt eller perfekt service til enhver tid. 

Begrænset ansvar: Vi er ikke ansvarlige for tab eller skader, medmindre loven kræver det. 

Produktgarantier dækker ikke skader der er fremkommet ved almindelig slid og slitage som følge af brug af produkterne, og de dækker heller ikke ved forkert pleje eller ved anden forsætlig skade pådraget produkterne. Vi angiver plejeanvisninger på vores webshop ved det enkelte produkt.

 

Force Majeure: Vi er ikke ansvarlige for manglende opfyldelse af vores forpligtelser på grund af hændelser uden for vores kontrol. Dette inkluderer, men er ikke begrænset til, naturkatastrofer, pandemier, krig, terrorisme, strejker, regeringsbeslutninger, strømafbrydelser eller andre uforudsete omstændigheder ("Force Majeure"). I sådanne tilfælde suspenderes vores forpligtelser, og eventuelle deadlines kan forlænges. Vi vil gøre en rimelig indsats for at minimere påvirkningen og genoptage vores tjenester hurtigst muligt. Hvis Force Majeure-situationen fortsætter i længere tid, forbeholder vi os retten til at ændre eller ophæve aftalen uden ansvar. 

 

Forbrugerbeskyttelse: Vi overholder gældende obligatorisk forbrugerbeskyttelseslovgivning og disse vilkår, vores handelsbetingelser, har ikke til hensigt at begrænse dine rettigheder i forhold til de gældende obligatoriske rettigheder du har som forbruger i Danmark.

Vi stræber efter at sikre, at det er en god oplevelse for alle, at vælge GPW og shoppe hos GPW.

Shipping Policy

____________________________________________________________________

1. Processing Time
Orders are typically processed and sent within 2–6 days from the time the order is placed.

___________________________________________________________________

2. Payment 

Payment is shortly after when you place an order, before we ship your order to you, because we, as a new brand, only offer made-to-order products and work with a subcontractor/supplier who only starts producing the items after receiving payment from you. Therefore, we have to charge in advance. This applies when we offer made-to-order products, but we hope to change this in the future when we can stock inventory. Thank you for your understanding.

___________________________________________________________________

3. Shipping Locations
At this time, we only ship to addresses in Denmark (except Greenland & Faroe islands). We are working on expanding our brand to other EU countries in the future.  

__________________________________________________________________

4. Delivery Times
The expected delivery time for orders within Denmark is 7–10 days, from when you placed your order. This is the expected delivery time and might vary, so please be patient. If 15 days have passed since you placed your order and you still haven’t received it, please contact us at care@globalpeoplew.com. We’ll be happy to assist you.

Once your order is shipped, you will receive a tracking number via email to monitor its progress.

__________________________________________________________________

5. Shipping Costs
Shipping is free for all orders. However, return shipping incurs a flat fee of 39 DKK, which will be deducted from your refund if you choose to return an item.

__________________________________________________________________

6. Customs and Duties
We currently only ship within the EU, so there are no additional customs duties or import taxes for orders delivered to Danish adresses.

___________________________________________________________________

7. Shipping Methods
To keep things simple, we use a standard shipping method that does not allow customization. However, shipping is flat rate and free for our customers.

All orders are delivered to your home address.

If you are not home when the package arrives, the carrier will leave a notice in your mailbox. It is your responsibility to collect your order before it is returned to us. If you don't pick it up, we will receive the returned package and refund the amount you paid, minus a return fee of 39 DKK. Please note that the refund process may take up to 10-15 business days from the day we receive the returned package, due to administration time and the processing time required by banks and payment systems.

____________________________________________________________________

8. Eco-Friendly Practices
We recommend keeping the packaging if you anticipate a need to return your item. This helps reduce waste and ensure items are returned safely.

___________________________________________________________________

As of the Effective Date of this Privacy Policy, we do not have actual knowledge that we “share” or “sell” (as those terms are defined in applicable law) personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.

Security and Retention of Your Information

Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee “perfect security.” In addition, any information you send to us may not be secure while in transit. We recommend that you do not use insecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us.

How long we retain your personal information depends on different factors, such as whether we need the information to maintain your account, to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes or enforce other applicable contracts and policies.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the rights listed below in relation to your personal information. However, these rights are not absolute, may apply only in certain circumstances and, in certain cases, we may decline your request as permitted by law.

Right to Access / Know: You may have a right to request access to personal information that we hold about you, including details relating to the ways in which we use and share your information.

Right to Delete: You may have a right to request that we delete personal information we maintain about you.

Right to Correct: You may have a right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.

Right of Portability: You may have a right to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to request that we transfer it to a third party, in certain circumstances and with certain exceptions.

Restriction of Processing: You may have the right to ask us to stop or restrict our processing of personal information.

Withdrawal of Consent: Where we rely on consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw this consent.

Appeal: You may have a right to appeal our decision if we decline to process your request. You can do so by replying directly to our denial.

Managing Communication Preferences: If you have signed up for newsletters/marketing emails, you may opt out of receiving these at any time by using the unsubscribe option displayed in our emails to you. If you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional emails, such as those about your account or orders that you have made.

You may exercise any of these rights where indicated on our Site or by contacting us using the contact details provided below.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights. We may need to collect information from you to verify your identity, such as your email address or account information, before providing a substantive response to the request. In accordance with applicable laws, you may designate an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf to exercise your rights. Before accepting such a request from an agent, we will require that the agent provide proof you have authorized them to act on your behalf, and we may need you to verify your identity directly with us. We will respond to your request in a timely manner as required under applicable law.

Complaints

If you have any complaints about how we process your personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided below. If you are not satisfied with our response to your complaint, depending on where you live you may have the right to appeal our decision by contacting us using the contact details set out below, or lodge your complaint with your local data protection authority.

International Users

Please note that we may transfer, store and process your personal information outside the country you live in. Your personal information is also processed by staff and third party service providers and partners in these countries.

If we transfer your personal information out of Europe, we will rely on recognized transfer mechanisms like the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, or any equivalent contracts issued by the relevant competent authority of the UK, as relevant, unless the data transfer is to a country that has been determined to provide an adequate level of protection.
