Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions (together with privacy policy on the website and any other documents referred in these terms and conditions) (“Terms and Conditions”) set out the legal terms that apply to your use of our website http://www.congocongo.com, any of its sub-domains and any other websites operated by us or on our behalf and any mobile device application or desktop application developed by us or on our behalf (together, the “Websites” and “Website” being a reference to any one of them) and the other services that we provide (the “Services”).
Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully and make sure that you understand them before using the Services. Please note that by using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not accept these Terms and Conditions, you will not be able to use the Services and you should leave the Website immediately. If you continue to use the Website or if you order products, we will take this as your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.
When we refer to “Congocongo”, “we”, “us”, or “our”, we mean Sun Hing Petrochemical Co., Ltd., or where relevant, its affiliates. Where we refer to “you” or “your” we mean you, the person using the Services.
These Terms and Conditions are only available in the English language. We will not file copies of the contracts between you and us relating to our supply of these Terms and Conditions for your records (but please not that we may amend these Terms and Conditions from time to time so please check the Website regularly, and each time you use the Services to order products, to ensure you understand the legal terms which apply at that time).
We are Sun Hing Petrochemical Co., Ltd., along with certain of our affiliates, we operate the Website. Sun Hing Petrochemical Co., Ltd. is a company registered in Hong Kong and our registered office is at Unit 2, 4/F, Block D, Tuen Mun Industrial Centre, No. 2 San Ping Circuit, Tuen Mun, N.T., Hong Kong.
We, along with certain of our affiliates, provide the Services to you through the Website. Further details of the Services we provide are set out in section 3 below. When you purchase products using the Website, you are purchasing them from the third party retailers (“Vendor(s)”) named on the Website. It is important that you understand that the contract for the purchase of the products is between you and the relevant Vendor. We are acting as agent on behalf of the Vendors, which are the principals. You are not purchasing the products from us. We are authorized by the relevant Vendors to conclude the contract on their behalf but we are not a party to that contract and you are not purchasing the products from us. Further details about the products, the Vendors and the contract between you and the Vendors in relation to your purchase of the products are set out in section 5, 6, and 7 below.
The Services we offer allow you to search through the Website and purchase products from a large number of Vendor shops and brands worldwide. As part of the Services, we also provide some ancillary services such as arranging delivery of the products, providing you with customer service assistance (if you are unable to settle issues directly with the Vendor) and payment processing. As stated above, the contract for the purchase of the products is between you and the relevant Vendor. This means that it is the Vendor (not us) who is legally responsible for selling the products to you.
Please note that some of the delivery logistics services are being provided by us to you and as such you are entering into a contract for delivery services provided by us. For delivery logistics services provided by the vendor to you, you are entering into a contract for delivery services with our Vendor. We may make a change for these services which will be shown at checkout and prior to your purchase of the products. Your contract with us or the Vendor is concluded once the products have been delivered to you by the courier or have been collected by you from a Vendor.
In order to use the Services, you must be over 18 years of age.
If, in providing the Services to you, we fail to comply with these Terms and Conditions, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms and Conditions or our negligence, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable such as logistics restrictions due to Covid-19. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it was an obvious consequence of our breach or if it was contemplated by you and us at the time you started using the Services.
Our vendors attempt to be as accurate as possible in the description of the products displayed on the Website. However, we cannot guarantee that all details are always accurate, complete or error free. Please contact the Vendor directly through their shop page on our Website if you would like more information about a product. The images of the products on the Website are for illustrative purpose only, and although we request our Vendor to display colors accurately, we cannot guarantee that your computer’s display of the images accurately reflect the true color of the products.
We do not allow Vendors to offer flawed items or products of low quality than the corresponding market standards for sale on the Website. If an item you have ordered is not described, is flawed or of a lower quality, and you have notify the Vendor upon receiving the delivery within 48 hours and yet the Vendor still refuses to refund the item, you can return it to us and we will liaise with the Vendor on your behalf. Once the item is received by the relevant Vendor, you will receive a full refund of the defective product, or alternatively a discount, replacement or repair for the item where possible, agreed on a case by case basis by us. We will refund you any applicable delivery charges and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the products (we will advise you whether the products will be collected from you or whether you need to arrange for them to be returned).
As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to products that are faulty or not as described. Advice about your legal rights is available from your Consumer Council. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions will affect these legal rights.
The products sold by the Vendors are supplied for your domestic and private use only. You agree that you will not use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purposes. You further agree that you will not export, reexport, or otherwise transfer the products to countries or territories that are the target of comprehensive embargoes or sanctions or to parties identified on the U.S. Treasury Department’s List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List or the E.U.’s Consolidated Financial Sanctions List. Neither we nor the Vendors have any liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, interruption of business or loss of business opportunity.
As explained above, the contract for the purchase of the products is between you and the relevant Vendor. We are acting as agent and are authorized by the relevant Vendor to conclude the contract on its behalf but we are not a party to that contract and you are not purchasing the products directly from us.
We request that all Vendors using the Website have and maintain reasonable business policies which comply with our own business policies. We cannot, however, be responsible for the Vendor’s business policies. If you are unhappy with the product or service you have received from a Vendor, you should contact us and we will liaise with the relevant Vendor on your behalf to try and resolve the issue.
By completing the checkout process and successfully made your payment, you are offering to purchase the products from the relevant Vendor (and not directly from us). Your order for the products is subject to these Terms and Conditions which are incorporated into the contract between you and the relevant Partner. All orders are subject to availability and confirmation of the order price, which is determined by the relevant Vendor. After entering into the contract for the products with the Vendor, the Vendor will be under a legal duty to supply you with the goods that are in conformity with the contract. Legal title to the product purchased will pass to you upon your payment being accepted. Risk in the product will remain with the Vendor and/or Congocongo (as applicable) until it is delivered to you at the address specified when you placed your order.
To order products, you must be over 18 years of age and possess a valid credit or debit card. By placing an order, you are promising that all details you provide are true and accurate, that you are over 18 years of age, that you are an authorized user of the credit or debit card used to place your order and that there are sufficient funds in the account to cover the cost of your order.
The Website allows you to check your order and correct any errors before completing a purchase. Please take the time to read and check your order at each page of the order process as you are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide is accurate (for example, the correct products, quantities, size, color, etc.)
When you place an order, you will receive an email confirming receipt of your order, which concludes the contract between you and the Vendor.
Depending on your delivery address, different taxation rules and additional charges may apply. If you are shipping items from a Vendor outside of your territory, you may need to pay import duties upon receipt of the products. You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes that are not written on checkout. Please contact your local customs office for further information and a “landed cost estimate” before placing your order.
The estimated delivery date of the products will be stated in your order confirmation email. We and the Vendor supply delivery services to you depending on the product purchased and we will try to ensure that your order is delivered by the estimated delivery date, but there may be circumstances where delivery is delayed because of events beyond our reasonable control (please see section 15 below for further information). If this happens, we will not be liable to you for any losses caused as a result of such delay.
Delivery times may vary depending on the availability of the products and your delivery address. The product(s) will be delivered to you directly by the Vendor(s) so your order may arrive in multiple deliveries and at different times.
In certain circumstances, the delivery partner may leave your package outside or provide you with optional services when delivering your order, such as: (a) signature release: opting out of the requirement to provide a signature on delivery; (b) leaving with neighbor, reception or security: re-directing the delivery to a neighbor, reception or security; (c) reschedule a new delivery date: selecting a delivery date that best sutis you; (d) re-directing to a collection point: collecting your package from a collection point nearby. If the delivery partner leaves your package outside, or if you select any of the optional services (including through any default preferences you may have selected with our delivery partner separately) you acknowledge and agree that Congocongo and the Vendor(s) shall bear no responsibility or liability for any loss or damage that may result from delivering your order in that way.
Depending on where you live, you have a legal right to cancel your order under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (“CCRs”) or equivalent consumer legislation in the EU. This means that, during a certain cancellation period, if you change your mind or for any other reason you decide you do not want to keep the purchased products, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the order. Once the products are returned to the relevant Vendor, you will receive a refund minus the original delivery costs; you will also be liable to arrange and cover the full cost of returning the order to the Vendor.
