We will confirm acceptance of your order by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Products have been dispatched ("Dispatch Confirmation"). A legally binding contract between us will be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation (or, in the unlikely event that a Dispatch Confirmation is not sent due to a processing error, when we dispatch the Products to you) ("Contract"). If you require any information concerning your order please Contact Us during business hours, quoting your order number. We may not accept your order if a Product you have ordered is out of stock, if we have identified a Product or pricing error, or if we are unable to obtain authorisation for your payment.

11. Delivery

Deliveries can be made worldwide. As all our parcels require a signature upon delivery, we are unable to deliver to PO Box addresses. If you have a question about delivery please Contact Us during business hours.

We will deliver the merchandise in accordance with the delivery option selected by you. Please view our delivery options below for full details and terms. Whenever referred to, working days exclude Saturday, Sunday and English bank holidays. Orders to one address may be delivered in one or more deliveries; however, you will incur only one delivery charge. If you have specified delivery to more than one address when placing your order, there is a separate charge for each destination address. Any delivery timescales are indicative only.

We are not responsible for delivery delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.

Standard delivery service is available for all addresses. In the event of adverse weather conditions there may be some delays to the delivery of your order. During Sale periods and promotional offers delivery may take longer.

Subject to security checks, your order maybe delayed. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.

We are unable to accept any responsibility for any charges incurred and are unable to offer any assistance or advice. We advise that you check with your local customs agent before placing an order. In the event you wish to return your Products to us, and local taxes have been imposed and paid in the country of delivery, you must request a refund of the customs duties and tax directly with your local customs office.

You (or the recipient of the Products if different) will be the importer for all international deliveries of the Products. Therefore, before placing an order, it is your responsibility to check that any Products ordered comply with country, state and/or federal government regulations, and that there are no local requirements or restrictions which may affect receipt of your order.

International parcels cannot exceed 2kg.

All prices include VAT, the total for your order is confirmed at checkout before you proceed to pay and complete your order. Once your parcel arrives in its destination country, local taxes, duties and charges may be added, which beauty-scin is not responsible for.

12. Click & Collect

Orders placed online will be ready for collection in-store between 5-8 days from the order date. E-mail notifications for dispatch, arrival and return to the warehouse upon non-collection, will be sent to the e-mail address provided when the order was placed.

Our Click & Collect service is available for most but not all of our items. Items available for Pre/Back order are excluded. We are unable to accept orders that include items for both store collection as well as postal delivery, so in these cases please place two separate orders – one for store collection and one for postal delivery.

When collecting your order please remember to bring a copy of your order confirmation with you. If you are unable to collect your order when it is ready, please Contact Us to arrange an alternative date for collection. We will hold your order at your chosen store for 9 days from the date of delivery to the store. After this period, your order will be returned to our warehouse and your order will be refunded via your original payment method.

13. Inspection

You should inspect the Products upon receipt and check that everything specified on the delivery note is included. You will be deemed to have accepted the order unless you notify us otherwise and return the Products in accordance with your cancellation rights or other statutory rights (as referred to below).

14. Payment

Payment can be made through any of the following methods: Visa, Mastercard, Delta, Electron, Solo, JCB, Maestrol, Paypal and American Express. Payment will be debited and cleared from your account at the point at which your order is dispatched. You confirm that the credit or debit card being used is yours. Please note that all credit/debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the issuer of the card. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to pay or does not for any reason authorise payment to beauty-scin, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery of Products. We retain the legal ownership of all Products until full payment has been made by you and received by us and legal ownership of the Products will immediately transfer back to us if we refund any payment for the Products to you. Risk in the Products transfers to you upon delivery.

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for further information regarding secure payment and internet fraud.

15. Your cancellation rights

15.1 As you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation until the date which is 14 days after you receive the Products. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep a Product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund.

15.2 Your right to return goods does not apply to goods (i) made to your specification; or (ii) which have been clearly personalised; or (iii) which by reason of their nature cannot be returned or are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly; or (iv) where sealed goods have been supplied which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons, if they become unsealed after delivery.

15.3 To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. The easiest way to do this is to Contact Us during business hours. In any such written communication, you must include details of your order, including your order number, to enable us to identify it. Your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the e-mail or post the letter to us.

15.4 If you cancel your Contract we will:

(a) Refund you the price you paid for the Products. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a store. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover that you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you will be liable to pay to us an appropriate amount.

(b) Refund any delivery costs you have paid, although the maximum refund will be the cost of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer (as permitted by law).

(c) Make any refund due to you as soon as possible and in any event within 14 days after the day on which we receive the Products back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Products back to us.

(d) Refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay. If you used vouchers to pay for the Products we may refund you in vouchers.

(e) In the event of an international delivery where you have been charged local taxes on the Products you wish to return, you will need to approach your local customs office and present proof of return in order to reclaim any taxes paid.

(f) Exchanges. If you indicate on your cancellation form that you would rather receive an exchange than a refund then this will be processed within 7 working days of receiving your returned goods and will be delivered via standard delivery. In these circumstances, a new Contract will be deemed to have been formed between us in relation to the new Product you have selected (and your various rights of cancellation and return as set out herein will apply to that Product). In the event that we are not able to satisfy your request for an exchange then we will refund you the cost of the Products and the original Contract between us will be cancelled.

15.5 If a Product has been dispatched to you or you have received it before you decide to cancel your Contract:

(a) you must return it to us in its original packaging without undue delay and in any event no later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the Contract;

(b) Products should be returned to the following address –

beauty-scin

Returns Department

Address of the Company

(c) you should have regard to any labelling and packaging guidelines produced by Royal Mail or any other courier used;

(d) unless the Product is faulty or not as described you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Products to us;

(e) if sending by post, we recommend that you obtain proof of postage as we do not accept responsibility for items lost in transit; and

(f) if you cancel your order but do not return such goods to us within 14 working days of notifying us of cancellation, we shall be entitled to withhold payment of any refund.

16. Your other statutory rights to return Products under the Consumer Rights Act 2015

16.1 Because you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with the Contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights (which are summarised in general terms below) are not affected by your right of return and refund in clause 15 (above) or anything else in these T&Cs.

16.2 The Consumer Rights Act 2015 states that goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of your Products your legal rights entitle you to the following:

(a) Up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you are entitled to an immediate refund.

(b) Up to 6 months: if your goods cannot be repaired or replaced, then you are entitled to a full refund in most cases.

(c) After 6 months (depending on the type of Product): if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time then you may be entitled to some money back.

17. Sale

All sale and promotional items have been displayed and available to buy at the original, higher price for at least 28 days online before being reduced to the reduced price stated either on the website or in-store. Some items within the sale are promotional, therefore the price of these items are subject to change and may increase after the sale period. Standard delivery of Sale purchases may take up to 10 working days. Sale items may take longer to arrive due to the volume orders through our sale period.

• Please note that while all products remain in pristine condition, due to the nature of the sale some external packaging may appear slightly worn.
• Sale items cannot be gift wrapped.
• Please note that an item could go out of stock during checkout and your purchase is only confirmed once dispatched.

18. Our liability for loss or damage suffered by you

We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these T&Cs we will be responsible for loss or damage that you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen (for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process).

We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Products as summarised at clause 16; and for defective Products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

We only supply Products for domestic and private use. You agree not to use the Products for any commercial, business or resale purposes. We have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

20. Transfer of rights

We may transfer our rights and obligations under these T&Cs to another organisation and we will always notify you in writing if this happens (but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these T&Cs).
