Description of Products

We take all reasonable efforts to ensure that the product information as detailed on the website is accurate, fair and current. This includes Specific Conditions relating to the product including but not limited to: related Terms and Conditions, estimated delivery dates and times, warranties and guarantees.

However, although we aim to keep the product information as up to date as possible, it may be the case that at the point that the order is placed, some element of the product information may not exactly reflect the details of the actual product:

  • The actual price of the product can only be confirmed once the order has been accepted, according to our order acceptance policy

  • The product packaging may vary from the product images on the website.

  • The weights and product dimensions given are approximate only.

  • The key features and product attributes are based on information provided to us by the manufacturer and these may vary. 

  • Whilst we try to show the accurate colour of the product on the website, differences in computer screens and monitors may mean the actual colour of the product that you receive will differ from how you see it on the website.

  • Colour swatches on the product details page are used as functions to change product colours only and do not represent the actual or implied colour of the products. 

  • The stock position of the product as shown on the website is a guide only and the available stock position will only be confirmed at the point that the order is accepted.

In any circumstance where the actual product information varies from that displayed on the website, we reserve the right not to accept the order.

Product Pricing

Techocy is a multi channel retailer and operates a best practice pricing strategy that attempts to ensure the consistency of pricing between its various sales channels.However, it may be the case that a product or promotion that is available in one sales channel is not available in all other sales channels.

Bulk pricing (where a product is offered at a lower unit price when purchased in volume) is available on certain products on both the website and through the telesales team but is not currently available through the stores or through the in store ordering facility.

Some products may be exempt from additional discount and this will be indicated on the product to advise also our star buys exclude additional discount as we are offering you the best price possible.

Product Pricing on the website can be displayed including VAT or Excluding VAT. However, the full price of the order will include VAT plus any additional delivery and packaging costs, where applicable.

Purchase of Goods

Placing an order on the Techocy website does not constitute a contract between you and us. The order is only confirmed once we have notified you that the order has been invoiced and despatched.

For the avoidance of doubt, any such contract between you and Techocy, will be deemed to have been concluded in Cyprus. Further, any such contract will be interpreted, construed and enforced in all respects in accordance with the laws of Cyprus, and you and X.K Techocy Limited irrevocably agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Cypriot Courts.

The order process is as follows:

  • Goods that are stocked in our main warehouse are then collected by our selected carrier and sent for dispatch according to our Delivery Options.

  • Goods that are being delivered directly from our suppliers (usually furniture or larger machines) can take a little longer to be shipped. You will be contacted by them directly to arrange delivery. Please see the Direct from Supplier section in the Delivery Options section above. 

  • Clicking on the ‘Make Payment’ button in the payment screen of the checkout process will submit the order for payment.

  • You may be required to enter some additional payment verification details from your credit card provider before the order is submitted to us. 

  • Once you see the order confirmation page, you will then receive an email acknowledgement confirming the details of each product in your order. This is not a confirmation that the order has been accepted or processed.

  • Once the goods are picked and packed and ready for despatch, a contract between you and us is in place at this point.

If for any reason, there is a problem in processing the order then we will notify you via email or telephone of the circumstances of why it could not be fulfilled. This could be for one of the following reasons:

  • There was an error in how the product was described or priced on the website.

  • One of the products in the order is currently out of stock.

  • We are unable to take full payment for your order.

  • You did not fulfil your obligations as set out under these terms and conditions.

Methods of Payment

At the present time, payment can be made using wire transfer, credit/debit cards or through a Techocy Business Account.

Cheques are not acceptable as a payment method for orders taken on the website. Cheques are accepted for orders taken over the phone but the funds must have cleared before the order will be shipped. Your cheques should be made payable to X.K Techocy Limited and then sent to Leoforos Aglantzias 54A, 2108, Nicosia, Cyprus

You are able to pay for your goods using all major credit and debit cards (Mastercard, Visa, Delta and American Express). Secure servers offer Ryman customers the highest level of security when entering credit card details over the Internet

All credit/debit card purchases are subject to the normal validation checks and authorisation procedures adopted by the card issuer. In addition we have additional Credit Card Fraud Prevention measures to protect you. Any refusal by the issuer of any payment card to authorise the payment to us, for any reason, will not render Ryman liable for any delay or non-delivery.

Delivery Options

We offer Free Standard, Next Working Day courier delivery on all orders successfully processed over €50 (inc VAT) that are received by 4pm and delivered to Cyprus. Orders placed below the value of €50 (inc VAT) will incur a small delivery charge.

Supplier delivered products and other items, such as furniture orders, are delivered separately and may take a little longer to arrive.

GDPR Compliance

Effective date: July 02, 2018

We are fully GDPR compliant. A rights request can be made by an individual or an individual’s legal representative.  Such individual could be a customer, an employee, or personnel of a supplier working for the company. Also, such request can be made through our contact form here. To learn more about your rights continue reading.

1. Right to information

This right provides the data subject with the ability to ask a company for information about what personal data (about him or her) is being processed and the rationale for such processing. For example, a customer may ask for the list of processors with whom his or her personal data is shared.

2. Right to access

This right provides the data subject with the ability to get access to his or her personal data that is being processed. This request provides the right for data subjects to see or view their own personal data, as well as to request copies of the personal data.

3. Right to rectification

This right provides the data subject with the ability to ask for modifications to his or her personal data in case the data subject believes that this personal data is not up to date or accurate.

4. Right to withdraw consent

This right provides the data subject with the ability to withdraw a previously given consent for processing of their personal data for a purpose. The request would then require the company to stop the processing of the personal data that was based on the consent provided earlier.

5. Right to object

This right provides the data subject with the ability to object to the processing of their personal data. Normally, this would be the same as the right to withdraw consent, if consent was appropriately requested and no processing other than legitimate purposes is being conducted. However, a specific scenario would be when a customer asks that his or her personal data should not be processed for certain purposes while a legal dispute is ongoing in court.

6. Right to object to automated processing

This right provides the data subject with the ability to object to a decision based on automated processing. Using this right, a customer may ask for his or her request (for instance, a loan request) to be reviewed manually, because he or she believes that automated processing of his or her loan may not consider the unique situation of the customer.

7. Right to be forgotten

Also known as right to erasure, this right provides the data subject with the ability to ask for the deletion of their data. This will generally apply to situations where a customer relationship has ended. It is important to note that this is not an absolute right, and depends on your retention schedule and retention period in line with other applicable laws.

8. Right for data portability

This right provides the data subject with the ability to ask for transfer of his or her personal data. As part of such request, the data subject may ask for his or her personal data to be provided back (to him or her) or transferred to another controller. When doing so, the personal data must be provided or transferred in a machine-readable electronic format.
