El Granero Typewriter Company
Fuengirola, Málaga, Spain
Last updated: 6 October 2026

These Terms of Service govern purchases from and use of the El Granero Typewriter Company website and services.

Please read them before placing an order.

By completing a purchase, you confirm that you have had the opportunity to review the product information, price, shipping information and the policies applicable to your order.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or restricts mandatory consumer rights that cannot legally be waived.

1. ABOUT EL GRANERO TYPEWRITER COMPANY

El Granero Typewriter Company is an independent family workshop specialising in vintage and antique typewriters, restoration, repairs, accessories, parts, rentals and related services.

We have been restoring and working with typewriters since 2013.

We are not a mass-production retailer. Vintage machines are individually selected, inspected, restored, adjusted, tested and prepared by hand.

Our products may therefore require different preparation, handling and after-sales procedures from newly manufactured modern goods.

Seller identification, tax information and other legally required business information are provided through our Legal Notice, invoices and other applicable website information.

2. SCOPE OF THESE TERMS

These Terms apply to:

• purchases through our website;
• orders placed directly with us where these Terms are incorporated into the transaction;
• typewriters and other physical products;
• custom and made-to-order products;
• accessories and spare parts;
• restoration and repair services;
• digital products where applicable;
• reservations;
• and other services offered by El Granero Typewriter Company.

Our separate Returns, Cancellations, Refunds, Warranty & Vintage Goods Policy, Privacy Policy, Shipping information and any product-specific conditions also form part of the applicable contractual information.

Where mandatory law conflicts with these Terms, mandatory law prevails.

3. VINTAGE & ANTIQUE PRODUCTS

Vintage typewriters are historical mechanical objects.

They are not newly manufactured consumer electronics and should not be evaluated as if they were factory-new products.

Depending on age, previous use and history, a machine may retain:

• patina;
• small scratches;
• minor paint imperfections;
• slight colour variations;
• previous repairs;
• small marks;
• wear consistent with age;
• differences in finishes or materials;
• manufacturing characteristics typical of its period;
• or other cosmetic evidence of its history.

Professional restoration does not mean manufacturing an old object again as new.

Known material characteristics are disclosed through descriptions, photographs and other product information where reasonably possible.

If a particular cosmetic feature, colour, keyboard arrangement or historical characteristic is important to you, please contact us before purchasing.

4. PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHS

We make reasonable efforts to photograph products accurately.

Colours may nevertheless appear differently depending on:

• lighting;
• reflections;
• camera exposure;
• white balance;
• screen calibration;
• device settings;
• brightness;
• display technology;
• and surrounding viewing conditions.

A reasonable photographic or screen-related colour variation does not, by itself, establish that the wrong item was supplied.

If an exact colour shade is essential to your decision, request additional photographs or video before ordering.

For individual vintage machines, the photographs, product description, disclosed condition and specifications form important parts of the product information.

5. PRODUCT INFORMATION & PRE-PURCHASE QUESTIONS

Customers are responsible for reviewing the available product information before completing an order.

Please check, where relevant:

• model;
• keyboard layout;
• writing language;
• typeface;
• colour;
• condition;
• dimensions;
• accessories;
• carrying case;
• voltage for applicable electrical products;
• and custom specifications.

We encourage questions before purchase.

Whenever reasonably possible, we can provide additional photographs, videos, typing samples or information.

6. ORDERS

An order submitted through the website constitutes an offer to purchase.

The automated confirmation generated by our website confirms receipt of the order.

We reserve the right, where permitted by law, to reject or cancel an order before fulfilment in exceptional circumstances including:

• payment failure;
• suspected fraud;
• unauthorised payment;
• manifest pricing or technical error;
• impossible custom specification;
• duplicate sale of a unique vintage item caused by an inventory synchronisation error;
• legal or export restrictions;
• inability to deliver to the supplied destination;
• or another legitimate reason preventing fulfilment.

Where we cancel an order that we cannot fulfil, and the customer is entitled to reimbursement, the amount received for the cancelled order will be refunded.

7. UNIQUE INVENTORY

Many of our typewriters are unique individual objects.

Two machines of the same model and year may differ in:

• condition;
• colour;
• typeface;
• keyboard;
• serial number;
• case;
• cosmetic history;
• restoration requirements;
• and price.

The availability of one machine does not guarantee availability of an identical replacement.

8. PRICES

Prices shown on the website apply at the time the order is placed, subject to correction of manifest technical or typographical errors where legally permitted.

Prices may change without notice for future purchases.

A later price reduction or increase does not retrospectively alter the price of a completed transaction.

9. VAT, REBU & TAXATION

Vintage and Second-Hand Goods

Where applicable, vintage and second-hand goods are sold under the Spanish Régimen Especial de Bienes Usados, Objetos de Arte, Antigüedades y Objetos de Colección (REBU).

For transactions subject to REBU, VAT is included within the total price according to the applicable margin scheme and is not separately itemised as deductible VAT.

The invoice will contain the legally required reference to the applicable special regime.

Not every product necessarily falls under REBU. Tax treatment depends on the nature and acquisition of the individual item.

New Goods & Services

New goods, accessories, services, digital products and other transactions not qualifying for REBU are subject to VAT or other applicable taxation according to the relevant tax rules.

Non-EU Sales

Local import VAT, sales tax, customs duty, brokerage costs and similar destination charges.
