Clause 2.
(Object and Scope of Application)
- This agreement, written only in Portuguese, covers 2 chapters which are hereby entitled “I - Terms and Conditions of Use and of Sale” and “II – General Conditions of Sale”, and whose purpose is to determine the conditions which must be respected during the use of the website by its registered users and/or customers or future customers.
- The goods and/or services provided by the company associated with the registered brand “TIKETA” and normally referred to simply as “Tiketas”, have the purpose of creating personalised labels (namely using names) which serve purposes such as identifying and labelling items of clothing and other items that may be mentioned on the website.
- For the purposes of interpreting this agreement:
a) “Website Use” means any operation and/or transaction, commercial or otherwise, carried out on the website on the content accessible on it, and for a previously determined purpose, or not – namely, but not only, the purchase of any product and/or service available on the website, the download of videos, images or other content available on the website which may be protected by copyright or industrial property rights.
b) “Website User” is anyone who uses it with a view to obtaining, or not, the products and/or services provided on it by the company, under the terms established for the website use.
c) “Registered customer” is the “user of the website” after effective purchase of the product and/or service provided and once registration as such has been granted on the website; remaining in the position of “registered potential customer” when, despite being duly registered, no purchase has yet been made.
- The company reserves the right to change these Terms and Conditions of Use and of Sale and General Conditions of Sale without prior notice, with these changes published in the appropriate space on the website.
- If any clause in this agreement is declared void or is annulled due to a violation of any mandatory rule, by a Portuguese court or any other competent authority, if it cannot be interpreted in legal terms, it will be understood as an exclusion and an unwritten clause, with the lacuna being incorporated according to the law.
Clause 3.
(Consent and Online Registration
- Proper use of the website assumes that the clauses in this agreement are expressly, irrefutably and unconditionally accepted by its user and customer or registered potential customer, who hereby declares that he/she understands the terms, namely, but not only, the processing of personal data provided during registration.
- In order to ensure that the user of the website and registered potential customer provides their consent as defined in the previous point freely and voluntarily, the company has created a tick box to validate the clauses of this agreement, without which no customer record may be disclosed.
- For the purposes of the point immediately above, and notwithstanding the option to be able to withdraw their consent under the best terms explained in due course in this agreement without any kind of disadvantage, apart from the tick box and accompanying click to validate the clauses in this agreement, when the user and customer or registered potential customer makes a purchase, it is enough to indicate their clear wish to enter into an agreement with the company in compliance with this agreement. They also hereby declare that they have understood this by reading the information that is accessible through the website.
- Without prejudice to the provisions in points 2 and 3 of this Clause, proper use depends on the user being over 16 and having a valid email address. If the user is under 16, prior authorisation must be received from their parents and/or legal representatives, without which proper use of the website cannot be guaranteed by the company, which accepts no responsibility for its use in these terms that are in express violation of the clauses of this agreement.
- For the purposes of “registration” under the terms of this agreement, the user agrees to provide some personal data, to which he/she will have access once registered. The user may alter and delete the data, using their own password, under the terms better explained in Clause 7 of this agreement (“Personal Data Processing”).
- The registration mentioned in the previous points of this Clause is intended to allow the proper implementation of the agreement, and without which the company is not bound to this agreement, with the parties hereby recognising the importance of this condition. If the user provides incorrect data, this amounts to lack of registration.
- When the user registers on the website, she/he qualifies as a registered potential customer, in as much as it is through registration that the customer can purchase the goods and/or services provided by the company.
- During the purchase process, registration may still not have taken place, which does not prevent the customer from continuing the purchase process and using the “shopping cart” already created, registering at the time the order is completed.
- Once registered, the customer may also access their order in their reserved area, for the purposes of overseeing the order.
- Registration also allows the customer to apply for any special offers and other promotions or deals, whose terms will be communicated in due course, and presented by the company, when the company sees fit and at its convenience, with this agreement being part of its content.
Clause 4.
(On-line Agreement)
- The website user may consult it free of charge provided that they fully comply with this agreement, though this does not imply, namely, having to register as a customer and entering into a contract with the company./li>

- After the user or registered potential customer has indicated that they wish to order a good and/or service provided by the company, namely by registering and selecting the electronic option “buy”, they shall receive email notification of the receipt of their order sent to the address provided when they registered./li>
- At no time shall the notification or receipt of the order by the company amount to the entering into/conclusion of an agreement, which is only considered as such when the company has received confirmation of payment of the order./li>
- For the purposes of the point immediately above, the “notification” will be sent indicating the order number - which must be used by the customer in any communication with the company concerning it - and with all the personal information provided by the customer at the time of registration - which the customer should check for accuracy and request any correction if necessary, otherwise the company cannot be held responsible for any damages resulting from uncorrected errors./li>
- When the order is made and before making the payment, the customer must check all the registration elements and respective invoice data as well as the contents that they are asked to print, correcting any errors, especially, but not exclusively, the customer shall have the option to change the quantity of products they wish to purchase, adding or deleting one or more products to their order), otherwise the company cannot be held responsible for any damages arising from these uncorrected errors./li>
- The company shall reject any order which suggests it may have been made in bad faith, in total disrespect of this agreement, in violation of the legal provisions in force, or on other grounds it considers legitimate, if detected, and at the time this is verified./li>
