Rating – a method of expressing the degree of satisfaction of a User/Client/Buyer with a product. The Rating is expressed in the form of stars, with each Good receiving a score from one to five stars.

“Recommended Retail Price” (or “RRP”, as applicable) is a recommended resale price of the Good, communicated directly by the manufacturer, and, as applicable, through the distributor, supplier, or Seller, with the Sale Price being independently determined by the Seller based on their own commercial policy. The sole purpose of this information is to assist the Buyer/Client/User in making the purchasing decision of the Good. The Buyer/Client/User understands that the less prominent marking of this information is not intended to cause confusion and that, in making the purchasing decision of the Good, the Buyer/Client/User must strictly consider the Sale Price communicated by the Seller and requested by the latter to the Buyer/Client/User for the marketed Good.
“Strikethrough Price” represents the reference price, which is the lowest price practiced by the Seller at least during the last 30 days before the price reduction was applied to the Good. Under the law, the Strikethrough Price may be maintained even in the case of successive, gradual reductions. The Strikethrough Price is valid within the available stock of the Good/Service.
“Sale Price” represents the value of the Good, claimed and requested by the Seller from the Buyer/Client/User, properly displayed on the product page on the Site, or in the presentation label for products displayed in Showrooms. The Seller may display separately, in a visible manner, the monetary difference between the Sale Price and the RRP and/or the monetary or percentage difference between the Sale Price and the Strikethrough Price. The Sale Price is valid within the available stock of the Good/Service.

The Seller may cancel the Order placed by the Buyer without any further obligation from either party to the other or without either party being able to claim damages from the other, in the following cases:

Diminishing Value of Returned Goods
Since, in the case of distance sales, the Buyer does not have the opportunity to inspect the Goods before concluding the contract, they have the right to withdraw from the contract. For the same reason, the Buyer is allowed to test and inspect the Goods they have purchased to the extent necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and functionality of the Goods.
To establish the nature, characteristics, and functionality of the Goods, the Buyer must handle and inspect them in the same way they would be allowed to do in a physical store. For example, the Buyer should only try on clothing/jewelry, not wear it on multiple occasions.
The Buyer is only responsible for the reduction in the value of the Goods resulting from handling them beyond what is necessary to determine their nature, qualities, and functionality.
If the Buyer exercises their right of withdrawal after using the Goods beyond what is necessary to establish their nature, characteristics, and functionality, the Buyer is responsible for any reduction in the value of the Goods.
Returned Goods showing signs of wear (stains, scratches, bends, cracks, impacts, etc.) will be accepted for return only after being brought into compliance, involving the costs of cleaning, cosmetic restoration, repair, replacement of any damaged parts, and making them suitable for sale as Refurbished/Resealed products. The final value will be determined based on the value of the parts that need to be replaced and the cost of reconditioning or as the difference between the original value of the new product and the resale value of the used product.

The following are exempt from the right of withdrawal from the Contract:

the supply of Goods made according to the Buyer's specifications or clearly personalized;
the supply of sealed Goods which cannot be returned for reasons of health protection or hygiene and which have been unsealed by the Buyer;
the supply of Goods which, after delivery, are inseparably mixed with other elements due to their nature.

In the event of any such changes, we will display the revised version of the document on the Site, and we recommend that you check the content of this document regularly.
WRITING REVIEWS, COMMENTS, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Writing reviews, comments, questions, and answers can be done by users/customers/buyers in the sections "Customer Questions and Answers" and "Reviews." The submitted information may be both positive and negative, and should refer to the characteristics and usage of a product or service.
By registering a specific review/comment/question/answer on the website, users/customers/buyers grant the seller a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, territorially unlimited license and give the seller the right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, and display this content.
Each User/Client/Buyer, upon submitting a Review/Comment/Question/Answer in the mentioned sections, agrees to follow the following rules: – Refer only to the features and/or usage of a specific product or service, avoiding information related to variable aspects (price or promotional offers) or details about the Order process; – Use appropriate, non-offensive language, avoiding terms that could insult or affect any other User/Client/Buyer; – Ensure the correct categorization of the content submitted on the Site: any Question should be entered in the "Customer Questions and Answers" section, and any Review should be entered in the "Reviews" section; – Ensure that the information they provide is realistic, correct, non-misleading, and in compliance with applicable laws, respecting the rights of other parties, copyright, trademarks, licenses, or other proprietary, publicity, or privacy rights; – Use this feature solely to communicate or obtain further details regarding a specific product or service on the Site without referencing other companies that promote the sale and purchase of products or services; – Not provide or request, in any way or to any extent, personal data (contact details, information about the delivery or home address, phone numbers, email addresses, names, and/or surnames, etc.) or any other information that may reveal such personal data; – Not post information and/or details about URLs (links) from other commercial websites conducting the same commercial activity as the Seller; – Not attempt to defraud the services provided by the Seller or post Reviews/Comments/Questions/Answers containing advertising materials; – Not use the Review/Comment/Question/Answer as a means of communication with the Seller; for this purpose, use the Seller's contact details listed on the Site.

In addition to a realistic critical evaluation, when submitting a Review, the User/Client/Buyer will also add a relevant Rating for the associated product or service. Reviews, along with their corresponding Ratings, will influence the overall Rating of the product or service, a number that appears in parentheses next to their title. Thus, a Review accompanied by a high Rating increases the overall Rating, while a Review with a low Rating decreases the overall Rating.

Users/Clients/Buyers who submit Reviews with attached photo or video files must follow these rules: – The uploaded files will contain images and/or videos referring to the product or service for which the Review is being written, ensuring that the uploaded files respect copyright; – The uploaded files will not contain violence, adult content, obscene language, or any content that offends a person/group based on race or ethnicity, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, sexual orientation, or political orientation; – The uploaded files will not contain information related to other individuals; – The uploaded files will not contain URLs or watermarks leading to websites conducting the same commercial activity as the Seller.

When a Review/Comment/Question or Answer is reported by a User/Client/Buyer as having inappropriate content, from a strictly subjective perspective, this content is carefully reviewed by the Seller to determine if it violates the Terms and Conditions of the Site. Texts, photos, or videos entered are removed from the Site only after being reviewed by the Seller.
If the Seller finds repeated violations of the Terms and Conditions, it reserves the right to suspend the User's/Client's/Buyer's ability to post Reviews/Comments/Questions or Answers in the "Customer Questions and Answers" and "Reviews" sections. Any complaints or claims related to the Goods and/or Services purchased by Buyers cannot be the subject of any Review; Buyers are required to follow the provisions of the section below for the prompt and amicable resolution of any such complaints/claims. Regardless of the method of collection or the product or service concerned, all reviews are subject to the rules described in this section, supplemented by those provided by the applicable law.

Review Collection Reviews can be collected either upon request or unsolicited, as follows:

reviews can be requested via email, adhering to personal data protection regulations. Users are not obligated to provide reviews.
reviews can also be requested through general campaigns organized by KASKADDA. KASKADDA may organize campaigns encouraging users to publish a review of a product or service they purchased. The purpose is to obtain personal, constructive, and honest feedback, without any rewards being offered to influence the content of the review or rating. Rewards, if offered, are solely to thank customers for their reviews, which will help other users make informed purchasing decisions.
reviews can also be left unsolicited through the "Write Your Review" section on the product page of the SITE. Within a reasonable time after purchasing a product or service (usually after the 14-day return period), the customer may be contacted through the same communication channels used at the time of placing the order to submit a review related to the product or service purchased. If we determine that any of KASKADDA's review guidelines have been violated, the review will not be published.

Review Publication
If we determine that KASKADDA's review guidelines are followed, the review will be published on the site within 60 days of its submission.
Duration of Review Retention
Reviews will remain on the site for the entire duration of the product's availability on the site or as long as the seller deems them useful.
Personal Data Processing
Please review the Privacy Policy regarding the processing of personal data.

This chapter and the procedure below demonstrate the Seller's willingness to resolve complaints/disputes quickly and amicably, utilizing all legal mechanisms available in Romania.
Buyers can submit complaints at any time to contact@kaskadda.com. The maximum response time for complaints by the Seller is 30 calendar days from receipt. If Buyers:

do not receive a response within 30 days,
receive a delayed response, or
are dissatisfied with the handling of the complaint, they can resort to alternative dispute resolution (ADR/SOL) and subsequently to the competent courts.

ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION (ADR)
ADR is an alternative mechanism to the judicial system, offering consumers the possibility to resolve potential disputes when they face an issue related to the purchase of a Good and/or Service. Complaints against merchants are voluntarily submitted by consumers and resolved independently, impartially, transparently, quickly, and fairly. Access to this alternative resolution can be achieved online as per section 19.5 below or through traditional methods on paper or another durable medium as per section 19.4 below.
ADR and ODR are not two separate mechanisms. The buyer understands that alternative dispute resolution and online dispute resolution coexist as a single mechanism, serving the same purpose, object, and goal. The difference lies in the method of access: for ADR, the complaint is submitted in writing (via email, postal mail), whereas ODR is submitted through a digital platform.
If amicable or alternative dispute resolution is not possible, disputes will be resolved by the competent Romanian courts in Mehedinti County.
