If the delivery address has any problem resulting in the return of the package, our company will try to contact the Client, by telephone and/or by e-mail, so that the delivery can be rescheduled, but in this situation all extra delivery expenses will be borne by the Client. If the package is returned due to the lack of answer from the Client, all extra expenses will be borne by the Client. In these cases, we will provide the Client with the instructions to proceed with the extra payment.
Before ordering a product from our online store, the Client should confirm about its availability in stock, by consulting it on the product’s page. If the product refers “in stock” it means there are some units available, and it will take the delivery period mentioned in the Shopping Cart.
If the product’s page indicates that it’s “Sold out” or “in production”, the Company reserves the right to take a minimum of 30 days for its production, in our Jewellery Workshop, plus the chosen delivery period.
Customized products have specific production dates, previously agreed with the Client.
In both situations, we will inform the Client when the product is available for delivery and when the shipping will take place.
When placing an online order, in our online store, the Client will be asked to choose between two different transport methods – Standard delivery (by land) or Express delivery (by air) (see “Transport and Delivery” chapter) – depending on the destination.
In the act of purchase (“BUY”), a summary of the Purchased Order is presented to you. If such summary is according with the products you have selected to purchase and if you agree with the overall amount of price you must pay for your order, you will be required to Register or Login with your personal data and during this process expressly accept these “Terms and Conditions” and our “Privacy and Cookies Policy”. For you to finalize your Purchased Order, you must click the button “BUY” and by doing so, you are formalizing the sales contract you have entered with 3D+Dreams Company.
Once you complete this process, the Company will send you an e-mail acknowledging receipt of your order, within 8 hours of placing it (“Order Confirmation”).
The Client has a maximum period of 5 working days to make the payment for their Purchased Order. If after this period, the payment is not yet confirmed, our Company will contact the Client through email (preferably) and/or phone reminding him/her about this payment. If the Client does not answer, he/she will be informed about the order cancellation, by email.
After confirmation of successful payment, the Client will receive an e-mail informing that the order is on the way to his/her address (“Shipping Confirmation”), with a link to the transport company, so that the Client can follow his/her order, at any time, during its delivery. In case needed, this follow up can be done also by contacting our Company, by email (preferably) or by calling our Customer Care Service. It’s important to emphasize, that only after the order’s payment has been confirmed, we can send the Client’s order, and the delivery period mentioned in our products’ page can be counted.

All our Payment Methods are guaranteed to be 100% secure. Our Payment Methods are rigorous and private, safely connecting to Portugal, the European Union and the World. When making the payment, the Client will be provided with several payment options, each one with the guarantee that all our Client´s data will be securely treated and deleted after each purchase. The Payment Methods accepted by our Company are:
The Client will be informed that his/her order is on the way, as soon as the order’s payment is confirmed, and this includes all the timing necessary for the payment to proceed, independently of the payment method.
The Client will then receive an email informing that the payment has been confirmed that the Purchased Order is being dispatched, and informing as well about the expected delivery date, with the Client’s invoice attached, and within the timing referenced in our online store, according to what was mentioned in the previous chapter “Purchase Orders”.
5. PRICES AND TAXES

It is important to emphasize that there might be some unpredictable extra charges coming from transportation deliveries, or any other expenses, when such charges cannot be reasonably calculated before the contract is concluded.
Another issue is about the customs taxes, and on this subject, it is important to notice that the country of destination might have additional customs taxes, so the Client should get the information about this situation.
After confirmation about the Purchase Order, the Client will receive an e-mail with a summary about the Purchase Order, including the data to proceed with its payment, and after confirmation about the payment, the Client will receive another e-mail with the product’s receipt.

When placing an online order, in our online store, the Client will be asked to choose between two different transport methods – Standard delivery (by land) or Express delivery (by air), depending on the destination. Transport delivery costs will vary depending on the chosen delivery method, on the weight of the package and on the destination location, and these costs will be added to the product value. In any case, the Client will be informed about these values for the Transport, Delivery and Handling, during the Purchase Order in our online store.
When shipping our products to the Islands of Azores and Madeira, the Client should inform and verify if there are any extra taxes coming from these different locations. Our website informs the Client about the delivery by the transport company about the Purchase Order but is not responsible for any extra taxes.
Due to Covid-19 and because of the restrictions by the General Health Department, the delivery period of our products may exceed the period referenced in Standard or Express Delivery, but our Company will surely do our best to keep the referred delivery timings.
If for any reason our Company could not meet the delivery dates previously referenced and mentioned on the website, the Client will be informed by email of this circumstance, as soon as our Company is aware of it, and the Client will then be given two options:
When the Client receives the package of his/her Purchase Order, delivered by the transport company, the Client is responsible to carefully confirm and check if the delivered package and all purchased products are in order, and the Client is recognizing, for all legal purposes, that those articles are in good conditions, by signing the delivery documents.
