Purchase Offers are for a fixed period of time.
At the end of the period indicated in the Purchase Offer, the Customer may no longer use pay by link and any intention to purchase expressed by the Customer after the expiry of the period will not be considered valid. The Company, therefore, shall not be liable for any change in the price of the Products. In this case, the Customer shall again express to the Company his/her interest in purchasing the Products in accordance with this Article 3.1 and shall receive a new Purchase Offer together with a new payment link.

3.2. The Customer must check the accuracy of the Purchase Offers’ content and report any errors, additions, or changes to their content. The Company will therefore send new Purchase Offers with the changes indicated by the Customer by email.
In the event of a distance sale other than a sale subject to approval, the Customer shall confirm the Purchase Offer directly via the pay by link contained in the Purchase Offer, within the terms indicated therein. Confirmation of the Purchase Offer by the Customer via pay by link shall be construed as an express and unequivocal manifestation of the Customer’s intention to purchase the Products, if available, in accordance with the Purchase Offer received, as well as full acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale (which must be saved by the Customer) and of all the terms indicated in the Purchase Offer, as well as confirmation by the Customer that he/she has read the Information on the processing of personal data (hereinafter “Purchase Confirmation”).
In the event of a Distance Sale Subject to Approval, the Customer must indicate to the Company his/her approval of all or part of the Products by the date indicated in the Purchase Offer Subject to Approval.

3.3. The purchase is concluded when, upon verification of the availability of the Products, the Customer receives confirmation of the purchase and shipping by the Company.
In the event of a Distance Sale Subject to Approval, the Customer expressly acknowledges the Company’s right to temporarily block an amount in the Customer’s payment card equal to the total price of the Products made available to the Customer, it being understood that no charge will be made for Products returned at the end of the period granted for the expression of satisfaction, without prejudice to the provisions of article 8.12 below.
If the Customer expresses his/her interest in purchasing a Product that is currently unavailable from a sales outlet, the sales outlet will send the Customer a summary of the Products ordered and the relevant prices by email, making available the General Terms and Conditions of Sale and the Privacy Policy.

3.4. The Company will store each Purchase Offer and Purchase Offer Subject to Approval as well as the Customer’s data required for the purchase for the period of time and in accordance with the conditions provided for by the applicable legislation.
The sale of the Products to Customers in accordance with the General Terms and Conditions of Sale implies the processing of the Customers’ personal data by the Company. In particular, the Company shall process the Customer’s personal data in accordance with EU Regulation No. 679/2016 (“GDPR”) and/or any other applicable personal data protection legislation. The purposes and methods of processing are specified in the “Privacy Policy” provided to the Customer.

3.5. The Customer is aware that he/she is responsible for the correctness and truthfulness of all data transmitted to the Company and contained in the Purchase Offers confirmed by the Customer.

4. Execution of the contract

4.1. The contract of sale shall be deemed to have been executed:

a) in the event of a distance sale other than Distance Sale Subject to Approval, when the Customer receives confirmation of the purchase and shipping of the Products (hereinafter referred to as “Confirmation of Sale”).
The Confirmation of Sale will also contain a summary of the purchase conditions, such as: the description of the Products purchased and their main characteristics, the price of the Products and the total price of the order, including any taxes and shipping costs, the address to submit any communications, information on after-sales services, the existence of the right of withdrawal and how to exercise it;
b) in the event of a Distance Sale Subject to Approval, when, and for the Products for which, the Customer communicates to the Company by email his/her satisfaction (hereinafter referred to as “Confirmation of Approval”), or at the expiry of the period granted by the Company to express his/her satisfaction without any notice having been sent by the Customer, and without the Products made available to the Customer having been returned.

Upon receipt by the Company of the Confirmation of Approval, or upon expiry of the period for expressing satisfaction without any notice from the Customer and without any return of the Goods, the Company shall charge the price of the Goods delivered to the Customer, and any other costs if specifically indicated in the Purchase Offer Subject to Approval. The price of the Products will also be charged to the Customer in the event that the Customer returns Products that have been used or in any other way tampered with, as better specified in Article 8.12 below.

4.2. In the event that a Product, which was not available when requested by the Customer at a sales outlet, continues to be unavailable, the Company shall contact the Customer to inform him/her that the Product is unavailable, agree on the price refund procedures and the contract of sale shall be considered definitively terminated. Alternatively, with the express consent of the Customer, the parties shall agree on the replacement of the unavailable Product with another Product of equal or greater value if the Customer agrees to pay the Company the difference between the price already paid for the unavailable Product and the price of the new Product, where possible. Alternatively, the parties may agree on the issue of a voucher of a value equal to the price paid for the unavailable Product, to be spent, within one year from its issue, for the purchase of other products at the same or other sales outlets of the same type (boutique or outlet), in the same Country in which the sales outlet that made the sale is located.

4.3. The Company reserves the right not to accept one or more of the Customer’s purchase requests in the following cases:

a) non-availability of the Products requested by the Customer;
b) failure to confirm or receive the payment within the deadlines indicated by the Company;
c) the existence of a legal dispute between the Company and the Customer relating to a previous order;
d) if the Customer has on previous occasions breached the General Terms and Conditions of Sale or failed to fulfil its obligations;
e) if it transpires that the Customer purchases the Products with a view to reselling or transferring them for commercial or professional purposes;
f) if the Customer has been involved in or is suspected of illegal or fraudulent activities.

In the aforementioned cases, the Company shall notify the Customer by email, within 30 (thirty) days from the date of actual receipt of the purchase request or, in the event of an advance payment at the sales outlet, within 30 (thirty) days from the conclusion of the contract, respectively, of any cancellation of the request received and of the contract. In such case, no request for purchase by the Customer shall be deemed accepted by the Company and/or no contract shall be deemed concluded between the Company and the Customer, and any payment made by the Customer for the purchase of the Product shall be refunded by the Company.
With specific reference to purchases made in the Principality of Monaco: (i) in the event of total unavailability of the Products, the Customer will be asked whether he/she wishes to receive an available Product at the same price as the unavailable one or to cancel his/her purchase request in full and be reimbursed the price paid, if payment has already been made (this reimbursement will take place within 30 days following the cancellation); (ii) if, however, the Products ordered are only partially available, the Customer will be given the choice of receiving the available Products plus other available Products at the same price as the unavailable ones, or cancelling his/her purchase request entirely.
If the cancellation is only partial, the Customer will only be charged the amount of the Products actually purchased.

5. Price and payment method

5.1. The prices of all Products offered for sale by means of distance sale are inclusive of VAT or any relevant locally applicable taxes.

5.2. These prices will be indicated in Euro (EUR). Any other or different currencies may be indicated in the Purchase Offers and the Confirmation of Sale.

5.3. The total amount of the price shown in the Purchase Offer includes any shipping costs, which shall be indicated separately in accordance with Article 6.4.
In any event, the Company will seek the express consent of the Customer for any additional charges, if applicable.

5.4. The Customer shall be charged the prices stated in the Purchase Offer.

5.5. The Company only accepts the payment methods indicated to the Customer and set out in the Purchase Offer (by way of example, pay by link and vouchers issued by the Company or by the sales outlets it manages).

5.6. The Products purchased will only be dispatched once the payment of the amount due by the Customer has been successfully made, with the exception of Distance Sale Subject to Approval. In the event of a Sale Subject to Approval, the Products will be shipped following the temporary blocking of an amount on the Customer’s payment card (pre-authorisation) equal to the total price of the Products requested.

6. Delivery

A. Rules applicable to distance sales other than sales subject to approval.

6.1. The Products will be shipped to the Customer as soon as the Company receives confirmation of payment or, in the event of payment made at the sales outlet, as soon as they are available. The Products will be shipped to the address indicated in the Purchase Offer. The Customer’s signature may be required upon delivery of the Products.
If the Company is unable to deliver the Products to the address provided due to the Customer’s absence, the customer service, the sales outlet or the courier appointed by the Company will contact the Customer to arrange a new delivery.
If the Product is to be delivered in Slovenia and cannot be delivered for reasons not attributable to the Company, within eight (8) days after the date on which the Product is made available for delivery, the Company shall assume that the Customer wishes to withdraw from the contract. Following withdrawal from the contract, all payments received by the Customer shall be refunded and the contract shall be deemed to have been definitively terminated.

6.2. For security reasons, the Company will not process any purchase request addressed to a P.O. box and will not accept any purchase request in which the natural person to whom the request is addressed, and his/her address may not be identified.

6.3. The Products may only be delivered in the Country or territory to which the Company delivers, as set out in Article 1.3 above.
Therefore, any purchase requests with shipments to be made outside such Country or territory will be automatically rejected. The Customer may in any case submit a new purchase request indicating a different delivery address, in accordance with Article 1.3.

6.4. In cases where the Customer is charged shipping costs, these shall be expressly stated, separately from any other costs or expenses.

The right of the Customer to terminate the contract immediately if the ordered Product is not delivered within the agreed deadline shall remain unaffected.

6.7. In the event of a shipment to Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia, the Customer may cancel all or part of an already confirmed order by sending an email to the address indicated by the Company, stating the reasons for the cancellation. Following cancellation, the Company will refund the amount of the cancelled Products. If the Products have been delivered to the Customer, the Customer shall either return them to the Company (if this is possible) or allow collection from the Customer. The Company shall bear the shipping or collection costs, unless otherwise provided for in the Purchase Offer. The Customer shall contact the Company in accordance with Article 8.

6.8. At the time of shipment of the purchased Product, the Customer will receive a Confirmation of Sale which will contain a shipment tracking code and a link to the carrier’s website to monitor the shipment in real time as well as the telephone number and email address of the sales outlet which he/she can contact for any problems relating to the delivery. If the Confirmation of Sale does not contain the aforementioned link, the Customer may in any case request information on the status of the shipment from the sales outlet through which he/she made the purchase of the Product.

6.9. As an alternative to delivery by courier, and where the service is made available by the Company, the Customer may request to collect the Products purchased directly from the sales outlet indicated by the Company that made the sale. If the Customer does not collect the Products within 14 (fourteen) days from receipt of the email informing him that the Product is available for collection, the Company may cancel the sale.
In this case, the Customer will be notified by email of the cancellation and will be promptly reimbursed for any amounts already paid.

6.10. The Customer shall bear the risk of loss, theft or damage to the Products only when the Customer, or a third party designated by the Customer other than the carrier, takes physical possession of the Products.
If, on the contrary, the loss, theft or damage of the Product occurs before the material delivery to the Customer or to a third party designated by him, the Company shall reimburse the Customer for the amounts already paid.

B. Rules applicable to Distance Sale Subject to Approval

6.11. Articles 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 apply to sales subject to approval. In the event of Customer’s non-satisfaction, if expressed within the deadline indicated by the Company, he/she shall not be charged for the cost of collecting the Products, unless otherwise provided for in the Purchase Offer Subject to Approval.

6.12. The Customer shall bear the risk of loss of or damage to the Products only when the Customer, or a third party designated by the Customer other than the carrier engaged by the Company, takes material possession of the Products, and for as long as the Products remain at the Customer’s disposal.

7. Conformity of Products

7.1. The Products shall be delivered to the Customer free of defects. The Company complies with all the requirements of European and other applicable legislation in relation to the packaging and safety of the Products.

At the time of delivery, the Customer shall check the Products to ensure that they correspond to the items ordered and that they have no manufacturing defects or lack of conformity in accordance with the applicable national legislation. The legal warranties under current legislation are applicable to the sale of the Products, in addition to any additional conventional warranties provided to the Customer at the Company’s discretion.

7.3. In the event of manufacturing defects or lack of conformity, the Customer shall be entitled either to have the Product repaired or, if repair is impossible or overly expensive, to be reimbursed the price paid upon return of the Product.
Pursuant to the applicable legislation, the Company shall only be liable for conformity defects that occur within 2 (two) years from delivery of the Product. An action to enforce defects shall be time-barred after 26 (twenty six) months from the shipping of the Product or another period specified in accordance with any applicable mandatory rules.
With specific reference to France, the Company is liable for the non-conformity of the Products under this contract (Articles 217-4 to 217-16 of the French Consumer Code) and for any hidden defects under the conditions provided for in Articles 1641 to 1648 and 2232 of the French Civil Code. In addition, statutory product conformity warranties apply in all cases irrespective of conventional commercial warranties. The Customer may decide to invoke the guarantee for hidden defects in accordance with Article 1641 of the French Civil Code. In this case, the Customer may choose between termination of the sale or a reduction in the sale price in accordance with Article 1644 of the French Civil Code.
Nothing in this Article 7.3 shall prejudice the application of mandatory rules that are more favourable to the Customer under local consumer protection legislation.

7.4. To report the presence of defects in the Products and seek one of the remedies listed above, the Customer may contact the Company in accordance with Article 14 below.

8. Returns and refunds - Withdrawal - Return due to non-satisfaction

A. Withdrawal:

8.1. The Customer has the right to withdraw from the contract without specifying the reason within 14 (fourteen) days from the date of delivery or collection of the Products or, in the event of a Distance Sale Subject to Approval, from the conclusion of the contract, without any charge for the relevant transport costs, unless otherwise provided for in the Purchase Offer.

8.2. The Customer may exercise the right of withdrawal by sending an email to the address indicated by the Company or, where the relevant service is expressly provided by the Company and confirmed in the Purchase Offer, at one of the sales outlets managed by the Company and authorised to receive returns.
Following withdrawal, the Customer shall have the right to either a refund of the price paid or, if previously agreed with the Company, the replacement of the Product with another Product of equal or greater value if the Customer agrees to pay the Company the difference between the price already paid for the returned Product and the price of the new Product. Otherwise, a voucher can be issued with a value equal to the price paid for the returned Product, to be spent, within one year from its issuance, for the purchase of other Products at other sales outlets of the same type (boutique or outlet), present in the same Country in which the sales outlet that made the sale is located or at the Company’s e-commerce site, if available. The Product shall be shipped to the address that will be communicated to the Customer in accordance with the procedures and instructions included in the package of the Product that the Customer wishes to return, unless the Customer delivers the Product to a sales outlet in the Country where the Company is established and authorised to receive returns, where applicable.

8.3. If the Customer does not comply with the return instructions provided by the Company, the relevant transport costs and the liability for loss, theft, damage or delay in delivery shall be borne by the Customer, unless otherwise provided for by the applicable mandatory regulations.

8.4. The Customer undertakes to return the Products for which he/she has exercised his/her right of withdrawal without undue delay and, in any event, within 14 (fourteen) days from the date on which he/she informed the Company of his/her decision to withdraw from the contract.

8.5. Products must be returned in the same condition in which they were delivered. The Customer must therefore ensure that the Products are intact and complete, never used, worn or damaged in any way, and that they are returned in their original packaging, with all the original labels. Where a Product has a security label, the return of the Product will not be accepted if the original security label has been removed, broken or tampered with. The Customer also acknowledges that, for reasons of safety and hygiene, perfumes cannot be returned if the sealing cellophane and the original packaging have been opened, damaged, altered or removed. The Company, or the sales outlet authorised to receive the return, will check the packaging and the condition of the individual Products returned, the substantial integrity of the same constituting an essential requirement for the exercise of the right of withdrawal.

8.6. The Company shall reimburse the price of the returned Products and any other costs incurred by the Customer for the purchase thereof without undue delay and in any event within 14 (fourteen) days from the date on which the Company received notice of withdrawal from the Customer.

8.7. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company reserves the right to refuse the return of any Product that is damaged, deteriorated, dirty or in such a state as to suggest, unequivocally, that it has been used, not in good faith, for purposes other than during checks performed by the Customer, strictly necessary to ascertain the characteristics and type of the Product purchased as well as if the original security label has been removed, broken or tampered with or, in the case of perfumes, if the sealing cellophane and the original packaging have been opened, damaged, altered or removed.

8.8. In all cases, the Company shall send a specific notice to the Customer informing him/her of the acceptance of the return and the re-credit or, where agreed, the replacement of the Product or the issue of the voucher, or of the non-acceptance with a specific indication of the reasons thereto.
None of the provisions contained in this Article 8 shall prejudice the application of local mandatory consumer protection rules that are more favourable to the Customer.

8.9. The return of Products pursuant to this article is only permitted in connection with purchases made by means of distance sale.

B. Return of Products due to non-satisfaction:

8.10. In the event of a sale subject to approval, the Customer is entitled to return the Products that he/she does not intend to purchase without being charged any costs for collection and transport, unless otherwise agreed in the Purchase Offer Subject to Approval, and provided that he/she has notified the Company of his/her wish to return the Products within the deadline stated in the Conditional Purchase Offer.

8.11. If the Customer does not return the Products within the deadline indicated in the Purchase Offer Subject to Approval, or in any case according to the instructions received by the Company, the costs of collection and transport and any liability for loss, theft, damage or delay in delivery shall in any case remain the responsibility of the Customer, unless otherwise provided for by the applicable mandatory regulations.

8.12. The provisions of Articles 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 8.8 and 8.9 above shall apply to the return of Products sold subject to approval. The Company therefore reserves the right to refuse the return of any Product that is damaged, deteriorated, dirty or in such a state as to suggest, unequivocally, that it has been used not in good faith, for purposes other than during checks performed by the Customer, strictly necessary to ensure they are satisfied with the product, as well if the original safety label has been removed, broken or tampered with. In this case, the Company shall send a communication to the Customer stating that it does not accept the return of the Product and that the relevant price will be charged.

9. Limitation of liability

9.1 With the exception of cases of fraud or gross negligence, the Company shall not be liable in any way to the Customer for indirect or consequential damages that the Customer may suffer as a result of purchasing Products offered for sale.
To the extent permitted by law, and subject to the provisions of Article 9.2 below, the Company’s total liability to the Customer shall in no event exceed the total price of the Products purchased. This limitation shall not apply if the Customer is domiciled in Slovakia, Poland, Bulgaria or Croatia.

9.2. The Company does not waive or in any way limit its liability to the Customer in the event of (i) death or personal injury caused by the negligence of the Company or its employees, agents or subcontractors; (ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (iii) infringement of the Customer’s legitimate rights in relation to the Products under applicable mandatory consumer protection legislation; and (iv) defective products within the meaning of applicable mandatory consumer protection legislation.
