Terms of use and sale
1. Operator and scope
BOMBA is an independent surf magazine and brand based in Malta. Contact team@bombasurf.com about these terms, an order or a concern.
Registered legal name: bombasurf. Registered business address: 45, Triq Is Salvatur, Sliema, Malta, Europe. Any applicable registration details and tax disclosures still need review. These draft terms are not a substitute for the mandatory trader information that must be supplied before a consumer purchase.
These terms describe intended conditions for the website and shop. Publishing a draft does not by itself establish that a buyer accepted new contractual terms.
2. Editorial content and surf safety
BOMBA publishes surf stories, interviews, commentary, videos and forecasts. Opinions belong to their stated authors; a link to another service is not an endorsement of everything it publishes.
Forecasts and spot information are guidance, not a guarantee of safe or surfable conditions. Conditions can change rapidly. Make your own safety assessment, follow local rules and emergency advice, and do not rely on this website as a safety service.
We try to correct material errors. Send corrections or concerns to team@bombasurf.com with the relevant page link.
3. Using the site and submitting material
Do not misuse the site for unlawful activity, spam, fraud, interference with security or unauthorised access. Where you use a protected area, keep its credentials secure.
BOMBA and its contributors retain rights in their original work, photographs and branding. Reading or linking to a story does not transfer those rights. Obtain permission before reproducing protected material beyond what applicable law permits.
You retain ownership of material you send. Only submit work you are entitled to share and obtain appropriate permissions for identifiable people. Sending a tip or clip lets the team assess it and contact you; it does not automatically transfer ownership or grant a blanket publication licence. Publication terms and credits should be agreed separately.
4. Products, prices and ordering
Product descriptions, available variants and euro prices are shown in the shop. Choose the correct size and colour. Applicable shipping charges and the final payable amount must be shown before payment; no free shipping, discount or fixed delivery time is promised by these terms.
Stripe processes checkout payments. The shop sells individual orders, not recurring subscriptions. Payment confirmation and order acceptance must be distinguished from fulfilment progress.
If an item is unavailable or there is a material pricing or listing error, contact with the customer and a lawful resolution or refund are required. These terms do not authorise charging a higher amount without the buyer's agreement.
5. Fulfilment and delivery
Some items are produced to order through Printify and its partners; others are fulfilled directly by BOMBA. Production and delivery can involve different providers and separate parcels. Any estimates shown for an order are estimates, not guarantees.
The operator remains responsible for its obligations to the consumer even when a fulfilment partner is used. Contact team@bombasurf.com about delays, missing parcels or damaged goods. Mandatory delivery and consumer remedies continue to apply.
Owner review required: confirm shipping destinations, charges, production/delivery information and how customers are told about any applicable import duties before purchase.
6. Cancellation, withdrawal and returns
Where EU distance-selling withdrawal rights apply, a consumer generally has fourteen days from receiving the goods to notify the trader of withdrawal, followed by the applicable period for returning them. Contact team@bombasurf.com to notify withdrawal and obtain the return instructions. Do not send goods to a production partner without confirmed instructions.
A print-on-demand production method alone does not automatically remove withdrawal rights. An exception may apply to goods genuinely made to the customer's specifications or clearly personalised, only where the legal conditions are met and the exception was properly disclosed before purchase.
Applicable law determines refunds, standard outbound delivery reimbursement, return-cost disclosures, timing and any permitted deduction for diminished value. Return postage must not be presented as the customer's responsibility unless that obligation was lawfully disclosed.
Faulty, damaged or misdescribed goods are separate from change-of-mind returns. Statutory conformity, repair, replacement, price-reduction or refund rights are not excluded by print-on-demand fulfilment or these draft terms.
Owner review required: confirm the returns address, practical return process, withdrawal form/information and lawful cost disclosures before relying on this section.
7. Privacy, availability and liability
The privacy policy explains information handling and optional cookies. Contact or ordering information must not be reused for marketing without the appropriate lawful basis.
The website may be interrupted for maintenance or faults. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including mandatory consumer rights or liability arising from fraud or other conduct for which exclusion is prohibited. No arbitrary compensation cap is imposed by this draft.
8. Malta law, disputes and changes
These terms are intended to be governed by Malta law, subject to any mandatory protections available to consumers in their country of habitual residence. They do not remove a consumer's right to bring proceedings in a court available under applicable law.
Contact team@bombasurf.com first so the team can try to resolve a concern. Applicable consumer complaint and dispute-resolution rights remain available.
Changes will be displayed on this page. New terms must not retrospectively alter an accepted order or remove accrued statutory rights. Have a qualified Malta/EU legal adviser review this draft and the shop's actual processes before adopting it.
