Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we or our partners despatch your product.

If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within fourteen (14) working days, starting on the day after the contract is made. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products in accordance with our refunds policy. To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing.

Price and payment
The price of the Products and our delivery charges will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.

Product prices include VAT
Product prices and delivery charges are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already Dispatched.

Our site contains a large number of products, and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a product’s correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the product to you. If a product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the product or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

We are under no obligation to provide the product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as an error.

Payment for all products must be by credit or debit card. We accept payment with Visa and Mastercard.

Warranty
We warrant to you that any Product purchased from us through our store will, on delivery and for the following twenty four (24) months* (excluding ride-on toys which have a 12-month limited warranty, see below section), conform in all material respects with its description, be of satisfactory quality, and be reasonably fit for all the purposes for which products of that kind are commonly supplied, provided that said Product has been used in accordance with the manufacturers usage instructions.

All warranty claims must be supported with the original purchase receipt.

Warranty - Battery-operated Ride-On Toys*
All Battery-Operated Ride-on Toys (“Ride-on”) come with a 12-month (twelve month) Limited Warranty.

Please see below for details of parts not covered by warranty (“Warranty”) which extends to the original retail purchaser only, proof of purchase will be required to validate any claim.

By purchasing and using your new Battery-Operated Ride-on Toy (“Ride-on”) you agree to be bound by the terms of this Warranty as set out below.

What the Warranty covers:

This Warranty only covers defects in materials or workmanship which result in the Ride-on malfunctioning
The Warranty is only valid if the electric Ride-on is used under normal conditions for its intended purposes by a person who is below the maximum weight as stated by the manufacturer, who properly fits in the toy and is capable of controlling the toy correctly
The Warranty is also only valid if the assembly of the Ride-on was performed correctly, the Ride-on has not been modified in any way and has also been maintained correctly and any adjustments that are made are only done in accordance with those described in the owner’s manual provided with the Ride-on
The Warranty is only valid in Cyprus.

The Warranty does not cover and will be voided if:

The Ride-on is used in a manner contrary to the instructions as stated in the Owner’s Manual included with the Ride-on

  • If the Ride-on is exported outside of Cyprus
  • If the Ride-on is incorrectly assembled
  • If the Ride-on is damaged due to incorrect use, misuse, accident or abuse
  • If the Ride-on is damaged due to alterations or modifications which have been made to the Ride-on or repairs performed by an unauthorised person
  • If the owner of the Ride-on has failed to perform regular, correct maintenance
  • If the Ride-on is rented or used for any commercial purposes

The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear or any other causes not arising from defects in materials or workmanship. The Warranty does not cover Batteries, Steering Wheels, cosmetic parts or any other components that wear with use as detailed below:

Batteries are considered consumable products and also require regular maintenance in order to ensure good battery health. All batteries include a 3-month warranty. Steering wheels are not covered as the steering wheel is often used to lift the Ride-on, an action they are not designed for and we strongly advise against. We class damaged or broken steering wheels as normal wear and tear and as such, they are not covered by the Warranty. Mirrors, Doors, Body plastics, Stickers & Decals, Decorations & Accessories and Seats & Seat coverings are classed as cosmetic parts and are not considered essential for the operation of the Ride-on. Unfortunately, items made from moulded plastic may have slight mould irregularities, such as small dents in the plastic or scratches, these are unavoidable side effects of the manufacturing process and happen when the sheet plastic is being moulded into shape. These irregularities are purely cosmetic and do not affect the operation of the toy and as such, they are not considered a warranty issue. Components that wear with use, including but not limited to tyres/wheels, wires, chains or belts.

In order to rectify any Warranty issues, we will:

Repair and replace parts covered by the Warranty as long as they are caused through manufacturing defect or fault of production which caused the product to malfunction, as well as repair of a fault of the material of the product's construction which resulted in the product malfunctioning.

If we are unable to fix the Ride-on after our technicians have investigated the issue and the fault is covered by the Warranty guidelines as stated above, we will provide a replacement. If a replacement is not available, we will issue store credit.

If a store credit is provided it will be calculated so as to allow for fair use based on a pro-rata basis, calculated as shown in the example below.

Example calculation:

A ride-on toy was purchased for €200 and returned to us 6 months after the purchase date.

Purchase cost divided by 12 months (356 days) €200 / 356 = 0.56
Owned for 178 days. Warranty period 356 days.
356-178 = 178 days remaining of warranty
0.56 * 178 = €99.68

In the above example calculation, a TOYBOX credit voucher for €99.68 would be provided.

We will notify you by email when your goods are ready for collection. The goods must be collected within 30 days. Any goods not collected within 30 days will be disposed of.

Faulty Goods

Should any product be found to be faulty, please return it to us together with proof of purchase (the original receipt). Please note that goods cannot be returned under any circumstances without the original purchase receipt. Goods will not be accepted if they show any signs of damage or misuse. The returned product will be inspected which usually takes up to 7 days. If we deem it necessary to return the product to the manufacturer for a replacement authorisation then please allow up to 60 days.

If the product is found to be defective one of the following solutions will be provided, at our discretion:

  • a repair
  • a replacement
  • a credit note

If a credit note is provided it will be based on a pro-rata basis, calculated on the amount of time that you have had the product so as to allow for fair use, as shown in the example calculation above. 

Cancellations

Should you instruct us to cancel your order before it has been despatched, we will issue a full refund. If your cancellation instructions are received after the goods have been despatched, we will only be able to affect a refund once you have returned the goods to us. The returned goods must be received in the same condition as they were sent. Once the goods have been despatched they cannot be retrieved and our refund will only be for the value of the goods paid. Shipping costs are non-refundable.

Severability
If any of these terms and conditions or any provisions of a Contract are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
