THE Hammerstroke – Terms and Conditions of Supply

Short Version: We are here for YOU! In other words, we will do our best to serve you as our customer. As tool lovers ourselves we do not want to sell anything that we wouldn’t be satisfied with. If you for some reason aren’t satisfied you really need to let us know. We take every complaint (the few we’ve had in Norway) seriously and will only keep on selling a tool if it meets our high expectations. Everything below is written formalities that need to be in place, but we will always give you your rights or better than them, depending on the situation. We are very reasonable and try to always do what’s fair.

All prices are excluding Value Added Taxes (VAT) and customs/import duties. We’ve broken down customs, duties and taxes on this page and made it very understandable. 

Long Version: May 2023

These “Terms and Conditions of Supply” apply to the contract we will be making when you place and order and we accept it.We might change them from time to time and your order will be subject to the current version on our website at the time when you placed the order.

These Terms and Conditions of Supply are the main legal regulations that we will abide by and that you agree to. If there is a conflict with a product or if there are any inconsistent terms in any order, confirmation of order, specification or anything else then these terms and conditions will apply and prevail over those errors and inconsistencies and no contract will have been made.

2. Ordering

2.1 The way our website works is that you can put products in your shopping cart and remove them at any time without it costing you anything. You can also make arrangements with us directly on Instagram, Facebook or by email, but even then we will most likely direct you to our website to create the order. When you place an order, you are making an offer to us to buy goods.

2.2 If we would send you a quotation, it is not valid until you respond positively and we again confirm that the order is valid. First then will a contract have been made. Any quotation from us will be valid for 30 days, unless anything else is explicitly mentioned. We reserve the right to withdraw the offer before the contract has been made.

2.3 In order to place an order on your own behalf as a natural person, you must be at least 18 years old.

2.4 If you are not a natural person, but a company, you still have to be 18 years old and also have the right to bind the company to the order.

2.5. Every image, picture, description, specification or any other information on this website are here to help, but they may differ from the actual product. The most common difference will be in color where we can not control what kind of colors your screen show or what kind of lighting you will view the purchased goods in. In addition to that, we can not guarantee that every batch will have the same color. Also, remember that if a picture contains accessories to a product, like tools in a tool belt, they are not included unless clearly specified. Other times we will sell you the tool that has been displayed in our store, and it can be slightly imperfect on it’s finish. We will try to let you know beforehand and offer you to wait for a product that is new in box, but we can not guarantee that. We will not send a used tool.

The provisions of clause 9.9 apply only where the buyer is a consumer:

  • any representation, statement arising in connection with or from a contract made under these terms and conditions;
  • any tortuous act or omission arising in connection with or from a contract made under these terms and conditions.

10.4 We do not make any warranties, terms or conditions other than what statute or common law force us to make. In other words, we “unpromise” as much as is not explicitly stated in our terms or conditions.

10.5 Nothing in these terms and conditions will take away our liability for death or personal injury that are caused by our willfully deceitful misrepresentation. Thankfully we don’t have any such deceitful information.

10.6 Subject to the foregoing:

  • our only liability in any dealings we might have with you, in contract, tort, misrepresentation or any other things shall and will be limited to the price of the goods and/or services you have ordered.

10.8 If you are a consumer, we only wish to deal with you if you also use the tools as a consumer, i.e for domestic and private use.

  • any breach of the implied terms for title, quiet enjoyment, for the goods to be of satisfactory quality or fitness of purpose

11. Proof of Age and Lawful Use

11.1 We are required by law to make take precautions to ensure that we do not sell any tools that can be used as weapons (knives, axes etc) to people under the age of 18 years. We can, if we deem it necessary, use any legal method to verify your age. We will not store the results, but will register that we made a search and that you either passed or didn’t pass the age test. If we find any additional information about you, we will store it in accordance with our other data and is of course confidential.

11.2 You promise and guarantee that you will only use the goods for lawful use.

12 General

12.1 If we for some reason have written these terms or part of these terms in an unlawful manner and they are found by any court, tribunal or administrative body to be wholly or partially illegal, void, voidable, unenforceable or unreasonable then we will find and follow terms that most closely apply while the rest of the terms will not be affected.

12.2 Should we fail or be slow in our enforcement or partially enforcement of any provision of these terms and conditions or any contract made under them it will not be construed as a waiver of any of the other rights under these terms and conditions or any contract made.

12.3 None of us really like long and boring texts. Let’s be gentlemen and women. If you’ve seriously read all the way down here, just understand that we are here to serve you. Terms and conditions are important, but if you have an issue with a product or delivery, please contact us for a solution instead of scrolling through the terms to see what kind of rights you might have. Claiming rights is never a good way to start a warranty since you will never get any thing more than what you can claim, while if you come in good faith and in a respectable manner we will more likely offer you more than your rights. As I said; lets be gentlemen- and woman.

12.4 In order to assign a contract made under these terms and conditions you must always first have our explicit written consent. If not, you may not assign a contract under these terms and conditions or any part of it. We on the other hand, can assign or sub contract any contract made under these terms and conditions to any person, firm or company at our own will.

12.5 If there are circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including, but not limited to, strikes, flood, governmental action, war, lock outs, civil unrest, riot, acts of God, national emergency, explosion, fire, delays affecting carriers or inability to have stock of ordered products if one of the aforementioned events would take place more than 60 days, either party can without any other reason choose to terminate the contract and will notify the other. Also, we reserve the right to either cancel the order or delay the delivery if one or more of those events would take place.

12.6 Once a contract is established under these terms and conditions, this shall then be the entire agreement between the you and us in respect of the supply of goods by us to you.

12.7 As we are based in Norway, all terms and conditions and contracts formed under these terms and conditions are governed by and will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of Norway and all disputes will if necessary be submitted to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Norwegian courts.
