- Before submitting the order, the Customer may review and correct the information entered, the contents of the cart, the delivery method and the payment method.

- The automated email confirms receipt of the order. Where an order cannot be fulfilled due to availability, transport restrictions or another objective reason, AMZ will notify the Customer and refund any amounts paid in advance.

- AMZ may request additional confirmation in the event of incomplete or questionable information, an unusual quantity, special transport requirements or suspected unauthorised use of a payment instrument.
- The Customer must provide complete and accurate information. The Customer is responsible for additional costs arising directly from an incorrect address, telephone number or recipient specified by them.
- An invoice is issued where the necessary information has been provided and the relevant request has been indicated when placing the order.
VII. Payment Methods
AMZ offers one or more of the following payment methods, as displayed at checkout:
1. Cash on Delivery
The amount due is paid to the courier upon receipt of the shipment where this payment method is available for the relevant delivery.
2. Bank Transfer
Payment is made to the bank account stated in the pro forma invoice or order confirmation. The order may be processed and dispatched after the payment has been received or confirmed.
The Customer must state the order number as the payment reference.
3. Payment by Debit or Credit Card
- Card payments are made through the secure payment environment of the payment service provider displayed at checkout.
- The cards and digital wallets bearing the logos displayed on the payment page are accepted.
- Payment may require additional authentication by the card issuer, including through 3D Secure.
- AMZ does not receive or store the full card number, its expiry date or security code. This information is processed by the relevant payment service provider.
- The order is considered paid once payment has been successfully confirmed. If a transaction is declined or unsuccessful, the Customer may select another available payment method.
- Where an amount paid by card is refunded, it will be refunded to the same card or by the same payment method unless the Customer has expressly agreed otherwise. The time required for the refund to appear in the account also depends on the servicing bank or payment service provider.
- If the card account is denominated in another currency, the card issuer may apply its own exchange rate or charge a fee for which AMZ is not responsible.
VIII. Delivery
- The usual delivery time is 1 to 5 business days from the date on which AMZ confirms the order. In the case of payment by bank transfer, this period begins once the payment has been received and confirmed.
- The stated delivery time is indicative unless AMZ has expressly confirmed a specific delivery date.
- Delays may occur during public holidays, promotional campaigns, periods of increased workload for courier operators, adverse weather conditions, restricted access to the delivery address or other circumstances affecting transport and delivery. Where AMZ becomes aware of a delay, it will notify the Customer as soon as reasonably possible.
- A different delivery period may be agreed for products subject to special transport requirements, products of considerable size or weight, products that are temporarily out of stock and deliveries outside Bulgaria.
- Unless otherwise agreed, goods will be delivered to a Consumer without undue delay and no later than 30 days after the conclusion of the contract.
- AMZ is not liable for delays caused by force majeure or other extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, fires, floods, acts of war, strikes, epidemics, actions or restrictions imposed by public authorities, the closure of roads or borders, and substantial disruption to courier and logistics services. Normal or foreseeable seasonal demand affecting courier operators does not, in itself, constitute force majeure.
- If a circumstance described in the preceding paragraph occurs, AMZ will notify the Customer as soon as reasonably possible, provided that it has the Customer’s current contact details, and will provide information about the expected delay to the extent that such information is available.
- These provisions do not limit the Consumer’s mandatory statutory rights. If the goods are not delivered within the agreed or applicable statutory period, the Consumer may specify an appropriate additional delivery period and, if delivery is not completed within that additional period, terminate the contract and obtain a refund of the amounts paid. Where delivery on a specific date has been expressly agreed as essential, the Consumer’s rights provided by law will apply.
IX. Consumer Right of Withdrawal
- The Consumer has the right to withdraw from the distance contract without giving any reason within 14 days.
- In the case of a contract for the sale of goods, the withdrawal period begins on the day on which the Consumer, or a third party designated by the Consumer other than the carrier, receives the goods.
- To exercise the right of withdrawal, the Consumer must send an unequivocal statement before the withdrawal period expires:
- by email to office@amz.bg; or
- – to AMZ’s address; or
- through the standard form on the returns and complaints page.
- After giving notice of withdrawal, the Consumer must send back or hand over the goods no later than 14 days thereafter.
- Goods must be returned to:
AMZ OOD
2E Acad. Ivan Evstratiev Geshov Blvd.
Serdika Business Centre, Building 2, Floor 2, Office 206
1303 Sofia, Bulgaria
Before sending chemical products, aerosols or other goods subject to special transport requirements, the Consumer must contact AMZ to confirm the permitted method of return.
- The direct cost of returning the goods is borne by the Consumer unless AMZ has agreed to bear it or the law provides otherwise.
- For goods that, due to their nature, weight or transport requirements, cannot normally be returned by post, information or a reasonable advance estimate of the direct return costs is provided on the product page or before the order is placed.
- The Consumer is liable only for any diminished value of the goods resulting from handling beyond what is necessary to establish their nature, characteristics and proper functioning.
- Opening, using, mixing, diluting or contaminating a chemical product may result in a substantial or total reduction in its value where this goes beyond what is necessary for an ordinary inspection.
- AMZ will reimburse all payments received from the Consumer, including the cost of standard delivery, without undue delay and no later than 14 days after being informed of the Consumer’s decision to withdraw.
- AMZ may withhold reimbursement until it has received the goods or until the Consumer provides evidence that the goods have been sent back, whichever occurs first.
- Additional costs arising from the Consumer’s express choice of a delivery method that is more expensive than the standard method offered will not be reimbursed.
- Reimbursement will be made using the same means of payment as used for the original transaction unless the Consumer expressly agrees otherwise and provided that the Consumer does not incur any costs as a result.
- The right of withdrawal does not apply in the cases provided for by law, including in relation to:
- goods made to order or made to the Consumer’s individual specifications;
- goods that are liable to deteriorate rapidly or have a short shelf life;
- sealed goods that are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons and have been unsealed after delivery;
- goods which, after delivery, have become inseparably mixed with other goods due to their nature.
These exceptions apply only where the specific statutory requirements are met.
X. Lack of Conformity and Consumer Claims
- AMZ is liable for any lack of conformity of consumer goods with the contract that exists at the time of delivery and becomes apparent within the period prescribed by law.
- As a general rule, this period is two years from delivery for consumer goods, unless the law provides otherwise in view of the nature of the goods.
- The Consumer may submit a claim:
- by email to office@amz.bg;
- at AMZ’s address; or
- through the standard form on the complaints page.
- It is recommended that the claim include:
- the order number and date;
- the product and batch number, if available;
- a description of the lack of conformity;
- when it was identified;
- photographs or other relevant evidence.
- Providing proof of purchase facilitates the handling of the claim, but the Consumer’s rights may not be made conditional solely on the presentation of a sales receipt where the purchase can be proven by other means.
- Where a claim is justified, the Consumer is entitled to the remedies provided by law, including having the goods brought into conformity by repair or replacement, where applicable, a proportionate price reduction, or termination of the contract under the conditions provided by law.
- For chemical products, consumables and other goods for which repair is not applicable, AMZ will offer replacement, a price reduction or a refund, depending on the nature of the lack of conformity and the applicable statutory requirements.
- Claims are entered in a register and handled within the time limits prescribed by law.
- Prompt notification after identifying a leak, damaged packaging or another problem is recommended for safety purposes and to facilitate determination of the cause, but it does not limit the statutory period for submitting a claim.
- The rights under this section do not apply to damage caused solely by:
- failure to comply with the label or instructions;
- improper storage after receipt;
- use for a purpose other than the intended purpose;
- mixing with incompatible products;
- normal consumption of a consumable product;
- mechanical or chemical impact occurring after delivery for which AMZ is not responsible.
XI. Orders from Traders and Professional Customers
