Terms of service

1. General information

This website (thevaporcorp.com, the "Site") is operated by Vapor Corp, registered in Spain (VAT No. to be added) with registered address in Barcelona. Contact: vaporwavecorporation@gmail.com.

These Terms govern the browsing of the Site, the purchase of products and the rental service. By placing an order, you confirm that you have read and accept these Terms.

These Terms comply with Spanish Royal Decree 1/2007 (LGDCU), EU Directive 2011/83 (Consumer Rights) and EU Directive 2019/771 (Sale of Goods).

2. Products and pricing

All items sold on the Site are authenticated second-hand goods. Each piece is unique: once sold, it will not be restocked.

Each product listing contains the piece's specific condition grade (on a scale of 1–10), an accurate description of visible wear, alterations or flaws, measurements, size, era and designer. Buyers are deemed to have read and accepted the condition stated before purchase. Imperfections described in the listing do not constitute a "lack of conformity" under Article 7 of EU Directive 2019/771.

Prices are displayed in euros (€) and include VAT where applicable. Prices may change at any time before an order is placed. We reserve the right to correct pricing or description errors and, in the event of a material error, to cancel the order with a full refund of any sums paid.

3. Orders and payment

Orders are processed through Shopify. Payment is processed by Shopify Payments / Stripe or PayPal. We do not store card details.

An order is binding on both parties once you receive an order confirmation email. We reserve the right to cancel an order where (i) payment cannot be verified, (ii) the buyer appears to be acting fraudulently, (iii) a pricing or stock error occurred, or (iv) shipping to your country is not available.

4. Shipping

Orders are shipped within 2 business days from Barcelona, via insured courier (DHL/UPS/Correos Express). Delivery times and costs are displayed at checkout.

Risk of loss or damage passes to the buyer at the moment of delivery. Any visible damage to the package must be reported to the courier and noted on the delivery slip immediately, and communicated to us within 48 hours of delivery.

International buyers are responsible for any import duties, taxes or customs fees charged by the destination country.

5. Right of withdrawal (14 days)

In accordance with EU Directive 2011/83 and Article 102 LGDCU, consumers purchasing online from Vapor Corp have the right to withdraw from the contract within 14 calendar days of receiving the goods, without giving any reason.

To exercise this right, email us at vaporwavecorporation@gmail.com with your order number and withdrawal statement before the 14-day period expires. Goods must be returned within 14 days of notifying us.

Cost of return: the buyer bears the direct cost of return shipping, as permitted by Article 14.1 of Directive 2011/83 and expressly accepted here.

Condition of returned goods: items must be returned in the same condition as received, unworn (beyond mere trying-on to assess fit and nature), with tags attached where applicable, and in the original protective packaging. The consumer is liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods (Article 14.2 of Directive 2011/83).

Refunds will be processed within 14 days of receiving the returned item or proof of dispatch, whichever is earlier, to the original payment method. Where the returned item shows signs of use beyond the permitted inspection, an amount proportional to the loss of value will be deducted.

Exclusions: the right of withdrawal does not apply to (i) goods made to order or customised for the buyer; (ii) sealed goods unsealed after delivery and unsuitable for return for hygiene reasons; (iii) any restoration or alteration service performed at the buyer's request.

6. Legal warranty (1 year)

Pursuant to Article 10.6 of EU Directive 2019/771, which permits the parties, in the case of second-hand goods, to expressly agree a shorter liability period, Vapor Corp and the consumer hereby expressly agree a legal warranty period of one (1) year from delivery of the goods — the statutory minimum for second-hand goods.

This warranty covers any lack of conformity that existed at the time of delivery and becomes apparent within that 1-year period. It does not cover:

  • Defects, wear, imperfections or alterations disclosed in the product listing, photos or communications prior to purchase.
  • Ordinary wear and tear resulting from the buyer's use.
  • Damage caused by incorrect care, cleaning, storage or alteration of the garment by the buyer or third parties.
  • Damage resulting from use that is inconsistent with the nature of a vintage/archive garment.

To make a warranty claim, contact vaporwavecorporation@gmail.com with the order number, detailed description and photographs of the issue. Claims must be submitted within 2 months of the consumer becoming aware of the lack of conformity. Remedies are, in order: repair, replacement (where possible), price reduction, or — where other remedies are impossible or disproportionate — termination of the contract.

7. Rental terms

Pieces in our archive may be rented for editorial, film, theatre, music video and private event use. Rental is offered as a service contract and, where the renter acts in a professional capacity, many consumer protections (including the 14-day right of withdrawal) do not apply.

Minimum rental period: 3 days. Rental fees are calculated as a daily rate based on the piece's value.

Security deposit: a refundable deposit equal to the full retail value of each piece is required prior to shipment. Deposit is refunded within 14 days of the piece's return in acceptable condition.

Ownership: all pieces remain the property of Vapor Corp at all times. The renter holds the pieces as a bailee and must take all reasonable care of them.

Damage, loss or late return:

  • Minor damage (cleanable soiling, loose threads): invoiced at cost of restoration.
  • Major damage (tears, stains, alterations, burns): renter pays the full retail value of the piece, from the deposit and, if insufficient, invoiced separately.
  • Loss or theft: renter pays the full retail value.
  • Late return: a penalty equal to 20% of the daily rental fee per day of delay is charged, up to the full retail value of the piece.

Insurance: the renter is responsible for obtaining and maintaining adequate insurance (all-risk, including transit) for the full retail value of each piece for the entire rental period. Proof of insurance must be provided on request.

Permitted use: rented pieces may be worn, photographed and filmed. They may not be altered, dyed, cleaned, sub-rented, modified or copied without prior written consent.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Vapor Corp's total liability arising out of or in connection with an order or rental shall not exceed the amount actually paid by the buyer/renter for the piece(s) concerned.

Vapor Corp excludes liability for indirect or consequential damages, loss of profit, loss of opportunity, loss of image, and any damages not directly caused by our action or omission.

Nothing in these Terms limits any liability which cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or mandatory statutory consumer rights.

9. Intellectual property

All content on the Site — including photographs, text, layout, logos, the "Vapor Corp" name and trade dress — is owned by or licensed to Vapor Corp and is protected by intellectual property laws. Unauthorised reproduction, redistribution or commercial use is prohibited.

Product descriptions, images and authentication notes may not be republished without prior written consent.

10. Data protection and privacy

We process personal data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Spanish Organic Law 3/2018 on Data Protection.

Full details are provided in our separate Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. Data controller: Vapor Corp (contact above). You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, port and object to processing. To exercise your rights, contact vaporwavecorporation@gmail.com.

11. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by Spanish law, with EU consumer protection rules applying where mandatory.

We encourage customers to contact us first at vaporwavecorporation@gmail.com to attempt an amicable resolution. Consumers also have access to the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform (ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr).

Subject to mandatory consumer jurisdiction rules under Regulation (EU) 1215/2012 (Brussels I bis) — which may allow a consumer to sue in their domicile — the courts of Madrid, Spain shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction for any dispute arising from these Terms.

12. Changes to these Terms

Vapor Corp may update these Terms from time to time. The version applicable to your order is the one published on the Site at the time of order confirmation. Material changes will be signalled on the Site.
