                If your credit/debit card is not denominated in Hong Kong Dollars (HKD), the final price charged in your currency will be calculated by your issuing bank in accordance with the applicable exchange rate on the day your card issuer processes the transaction.

                The price of the products is exclusive of any applicable taxes or excises (including VAT or sales taxes, if any) under any applicable laws. You shall be liable and shall indemnify us for any taxes payable.

                  9. ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR ORDER

                    Once you have entered your personal and payment details and placed your order, we shall send you an email acknowledging the receipt of your order, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and DDT Store . Your order will be accepted and the contract between you and DDT Store  will be completed when we send you an email to confirm that the goods have been dispatched to you. Once an order has been accepted, it cannot be modified or cancelled.

                    Notwithstanding the above, DDT Store  reserves its right not to accept an order for any reason at its sole discretion. Such reasons include, but are not limited to, any one or more of the following:

                    • The product you ordered is out of stock.
                    • We identify a pricing or product description error.
                    • We are unable to obtain authorisation for payment.
                    • You do not meet the eligibility criteria to purchase as set out in this TOS.

                    Our Customer Service team will contact you as soon as possible if there are any problems with your order.

                    10. DRAW

                    Registration to a draw is limited to one entry per person. Repeated draw entry for the same item is not allowed. Multiple entries under the same name,  email address or shipping information will be deemed invalid, and result in entry disqualification. 

                    No cancellations and modifications are accepted once the draw entry is confirmed. Entries are not transferrable.

                    A credit card pre-authorization is needed upon draw entry. The credit card pre-authorization is to reserve the eligibility to purchase the product. The credit is held by the cardholder’s financial institution. No transaction will be made until the draw is successful.

                    Successful entrants will receive a notification email confirming the order, with the held credit automatically charged. If the payment cannot be completed due to any reasons, the winning chance will be randomly given to a new entrant. 

                    In case of unsuccessful draw, credit card pre-authorization will be cancelled, with the fund to be released back to the cardholder automatically. The exact time for refund varies with each financial institution’s policy.


                    11. SHIPPING, DELIVERY AND COLLECTIONS

                      Once the order is confirmed, no information or delivery details can be changed. DDT Store ’s teams will send you a delivery notice by email with shipping details to your registered email address. Your products will generally be sent out within 14 working days after your order is placed. (Note: Pre-order items will be sent out after a designated period.) We will try our best to meet these estimates but cannot guarantee delivery times. 

                      Orders will be shipped by third party courier. You may refer to the tracking number from the link in the delivery notification email and check the status of your shipment by visiting the courier service's official website.

                      Please ensure all delivery information is correct. If there is incorrect and/or missing information, we may be required to contact you to update the delivery information, which may cause delays in delivering your order. Delays may also occur as a result of pending payment verifications or customs clearance.

                      Products purchased may be subject to customs and export control laws and regulations. You agree to comply with all applicable international and national laws and regulations. Your local customs office may require additional documents and time to clear your package, which may delay the estimated delivery time.

                      Import Taxes & Duties - Import taxes, duties and related customs fees may be charged once the parcel arrives at the destination country. These charges are determined by the customs office of the specific destination and shall be charged on top of our selling price.

                      Payment of these charges and taxes is the responsibility of the recipient and will not be covered by us here at DDT Store . For further details of charges, please contact your local customs office.

                      Customs & Regulations - You are responsible for checking your local postal regulations for restricted items, as we cannot be held liable for any items that are not accepted into the specific country.

                      Foreign Transaction Fees - Foreign transaction fees may be charged once your payment transaction has been settled. These fees are determined by your bank's pricing and transaction fee policies. For further details of foreign transaction fees, please contact your bank.

                      A product will be your responsibility from the time the product is sent out to the registered address. You bear the possible risk of loss upon delivery to your registered address. If the recipient or collector is not the original purchaser, or in case of delivery of a gift, then you accept that the signature of the recipient or collector is evidence of due delivery and fulfilment of your order by DDT Store  and you will release us from any and all liability with respect to the due and complete performance of your purchase order of products. You also accept the associated transfer of responsibility (including risk of loss) in the same way.

                      *An administration fee per contact information or delivery address change will be charged directly.

                      **For service coverage and the exact terms of conditions of third party courier, please refer to courier service’s official website.
