These Terms are the basis for selling JOAN on our website. We suggest that you print a copy and keep them in your records.

These Terms of Sale, Terms of Use, Safety Instructions, Limited Warranty and Privacy policy represent the whole Agreement between you and Visionect d.o.o. (hereby Visionect), unless otherwise agreed.

Terms of Sale

Basically put, this section describes the whos and whats in the easy buying process. You choose the products you want on the website, decide how many you’d like for your office, input your payment method, and voila, you have bought JOAN, a great product that will make office life much easier and more organized. Oh, and it also says you can’t use JOAN products to do destructive things. Really.

Buying a JOAN is quick and easy, and we’re here to help. If the language in these terms gets too complicated or if you have any questions about how to buy the JOAN device, please contact our JOAN Team at [email protected] (or [email protected]), and they’ll walk you through the process.

What is JOAN?

JOAN is a digital door display and meeting room booking solution developed by Visionect, who owns all intellectual property rights within and regulates the shopping process for your convenience and safe use of the JOAN device (hereby Service).

Who can buy JOAN?

We can only sell JOAN to legally organized and incorporated legal entities that comply with the local law of the country of delivery. B2B (business-to-business) means a transaction in which the supplier and the customer are legal entities.

Your Status

By placing an order on the Website, you confirm that you are:

  1. legally capable of entering into binding contracts,
  2. if in the EU, able to provide your VAT number, when applicable.

Orders & Payment Terms

We have to receive your payment before we can accept your order. You can pay with a credit card, PayPal, or any other pre-arranged payment method. We can cancel your order if we deem it necessary.

Our price quotes are non-binding unless we let you know in writing. An order is valid and binding only after we confirm it in writing. Visionect is not responsible for any pricing, typographical, or other errors in our communications. We may process payment and ship parts of an order separately.

Basic Order Terms: All orders must include the following information: (i) which and how many JOAN devices you would like, (ii) prices, and (iii) delivery instructions, (collectively, the “Basic Order Terms”).

We can cancel or indefinitely suspend an accepted order, and refuse additional orders if: (i) you don’t do what you’re supposed to do according to these Terms, (ii) you stop doing business or enter into any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding that lasts more than 30 days, or assign your assets for the benefit of creditors, or (iii) if third-party financing in connection with your JOAN devices purchase(s) aren’t fast enough for us.

You may cancel your order prior to shipping.

Returns Policy, Your Right to Cancel and Refunds Policy

Before sending anything to Visionect, please contact our JOAN Team at [email protected] (or [email protected]). We can usually solve the problem quickly via email. If not, and if you are considered under warranty, you will receive an authorization number.

Pricing, Terms of Payment, Taxes

You can pay using Visa®, MasterCard®, American Express®, PayPal, or another option defined by Visionect. Your order is considered as accepted when your card is debited or when Visionect receives payment of invoice.

You are liable for any costs incurred by us if you change or cancel any order, and for all costs of collection of past due amounts (including attorneys’ fees).

Our stated prices for JOAN devices do not include applicable sales taxes, export or import charges, transportation or insurance charges, customs and duty fees, personal property taxes or similar charges – all of which are your responsibility to pay. You have to pay us all taxes and governmental fees we are required to collect or pay upon sale or delivery of the JOAN devices unless you provide us with direct payment authority or an exemption certificate valid in the jurisdiction the JOAN device(s) will be delivered.

Shipping, Delivery

Delivery time

When Visionect accepts your order in writing, we will also contact you with an estimated delivery time. We try hard to meet your requested delivery dates, unless you are in default under these Terms, or our performance is otherwise excused. We are not liable for late or delayed delivery. Late delivery is not a basis for cancellation of any order. Shipping and delivery dates are estimates only. The time it takes to receive your order depends on the shipping method you choose during checkout, and the time of day you place your order.

Delivery terms

When you receive the JOAN device(s), you own it, as well as the risk of loss or damage. We have the right to make partial deliveries.

Visionect can deliver the Software via e-mail if it so chooses. Visionect or its licensors still own the Title to the Software. You accept the terms of the Software when it is activated or otherwise made available for your access or use, whichever date is earlier.

You are responsible for letting us know in writing of any identified damage or nonconformance of the JOAN device within 8 days of receiving the JOAN device. Read more about Returns and Warranty here.
