Ordering Products
8.1
IMPORTANT: When you order a Repeat Purchase, you agree that we may send you the same Product(s) in the same quantities and on the same chargeable basis every 30, 60 or 90 days (depending on which frequency you have chosen) from the date of your first order, and that we may debit the credit or debit card or charge the PayPal account you submit for your first order for the same amount (including applicable sales tax and postage) on each subsequent dispatch of Products. We will send you a confirmatory email with each dispatch of Products. Unless you notify us that you want to cancel these Repeat Purchase orders you will continue to be sent the same Products and your credit or debit card or PayPal account will be charged the price and relevant sales tax and postal charges every 30, 60 or 90 days (depending on which frequency you have chosen). Once you have purchased your first Products, the price for such Products will change if:
(a) you change your address and the applicable sales tax or postage changes accordingly; or
(b) our prices advertised on the Site increase in which case, we will notify you the new price and the first of your Products to be affected will be the first batch of Products sent after the price change. Price changes will not affect your cancellation rights.
8.2
You may cancel future Repeat Purchase orders at any time by:
(a) sending an email to info@richardjamesfragrances.com or
On receipt of your email, we will make every reasonable effort to cancel your Repeat Purchase orders before any further Products are dispatched to you. If, however, your cancellation is not processed by us in time to prevent a further dispatch of Products to you, you can cancel such Products when you receive them. Your cancellation rights in relation to dispatched Products are set out in clause 11 (such cancellation rights shall apply to each dispatch of Product(s) you receive under a Repeat Purchase).
8.3 When you select the option to allow us to store your card details we will do so using the Worldpay Token System. When you select a Repeat Purchase Product we will automatically store your card details via the Worldpay Token System.
The Token System is a safe way for us to keep card details without actually storing them. Worldpay store and convert your sensitive payment information into a secure token or "alias". This token is then used by us to process future transactions as and when required, without asking for your card details each time.
8.4
It is your responsibility to inform us of any change of address or other relevant details such as payment card details.
9.
Contract Formation
9.1
After placing an order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your Order has been accepted. Your Order constitutes an offer to Cult Beauty to buy a Product via the Site (and Cult Beauty reserves the right to refuse orders for Products). No contract will exist in relation to the Products until we have confirmed to you by email that the Product has been dispatched (Dispatch Confirmation). Our acceptance to your offer will be deemed complete and the contract between us shall be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation email.
10.
Pricing, availability and dispatch information of Products
10.1
Information displayed on the Site as to pricing and availability is subject to change by Cult Beauty. Payment for the Products will be made via the Site in accordance with the procedure explained on the Site.
10.2
While we aim to be accurate, any availability information or dispatch estimates on the Site in relation to Products are approximate. As we process your order, we will inform you by e-mail, telephone or SMS, if any Products you order turn out to be unavailable. Please allow up to 10 business days for delivery.
10.3
In spite of our best efforts, it is possible that a Product may be mispriced on the Site. We do, however, confirm prices as part of our dispatch procedures. Where a Product's actual price is lower than that stated on the Site, we will charge the lower amount and send you the Product. If, however, the actual price is higher than that stated on the Site, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatch or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation. Prices are inclusive of VAT so the price of a Product may change if you are ordering from outside the UK (see clause 10.4 below).
10.4
Products will be dispatched to your delivery address as soon as reasonably possible after acceptance of your order. Delivery charges and sales tax will be made in accordance with your location and you will be informed of the relevant charge on the Site before you confirm your order. Please note, any orders we accept which require delivery outside the EU will be delivered duty unpaid.
11.
Cancellation rights for dispatched Products
11.1
If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a contract under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 during the period set out below. 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.
11.2
You will not have any right to cancel a Contract for the supply of any Products in the following circumstances:
(a) where by reason of their nature (and the manner in which you have taken care of them) the Product(s) cannot be returned (for example, without limitation, any cosmetics which have been unpackaged and treated in any way that renders it no longer marketable to other customers due to health & safety or hygiene reasons); and/or
(b) where the Product(s) have been customised to your chosen specifications.
11.3
Your legal right to cancel a contract starts from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, which is when the contract between us is formed. Your deadline for cancelling the Contract then depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered, as set out in the table below:
Your Contract
End of the cancellation period
Your contract is for a single product (which is not delivered in instalments on separate days).
The end date is the end of 14 days after the day on which you receive the product.
Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the product on 10 January you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January.
Your contract is for either of the following:
(a) one product which is delivered in instalments on separate days.
(b) multiple products which are delivered on separate days.
The end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive the last instalment of the product or the last of the separate products ordered.
Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the first instalment of your product or the first of your separate products on 10 January and the last instalment or last separate product on 15 January you may cancel in respect of all instalments and any or all of the separate products at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 29 January.
Your contract is for the regular delivery of a product over a set period.
The end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive the first delivery of the products.
Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January in respect of products to be delivered at regular intervals over a year and you receive the first delivery of your product on 10 January, you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January. 24 January is the last day of the cancellation period in respect of all products to arrive during the year.
11.4
To cancel a contract, you need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. The easiest way to do this is to complete the cancellation form which can be found here (Cancellation Form) and email this to us at info@richardjamesfragrances.com If you use this method we will e-mail you to confirm we have received your cancellation. The Product(s)covered by the cancellation must then be returned to us at the following address:
Colbico . Return products department . 256 Old Street London EC1V9DD
When returning items you are strongly recommended to carefully pack the items and obtain proof of posting. We cannot accept responsibility for parcels lost in transit.
11.5
If you send us your cancellation notice by e-mail or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the e-mail or post the letter to us. For example, you will have given us notice in time as long as you get your letter into the last post on the last day of the cancellation period or e-mail us before midnight on that day.
11.6
If you cancel your contract we will:
(a) refund you the price you paid for the products. However, please note:
(i) 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 shop; and (ii) when returning Products on which you have received any promotional or other discount the refund will only cover the price you paid.
(b) refund any delivery costs you have paid, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer (provided that this is a common and generally acceptable method). For example, if we offer delivery of a product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.
(c) make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:
(i) if you have received the product and we have not offered to collect it from you: 14 days after the day on which we receive the product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the product back to us.
(ii) if you have not received the product or you have received it and we have offered to collect it from you: 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the contract.
Please note that it can take up to 10 days for us to receive your return, depending on which postal service you use. Refunds are usually processed on the day of receipt, although it may take up to a further week for the amount to show in your account.
(d) Refunds in relation to Products may only be credited to the credit or debit card or PayPal account originally used to make the purchase. If we are unable to put the refund through on this card or account for any reason, we will try to contact you to discuss alternative arrangements. If you used vouchers to pay for the product we may refund you in vouchers.
11.7
If a product has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your contract:
(a) then you must return it to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the contract. If you do not return the Products within 14 days of your cancellation, you will be deemed to have accepted the Products, at which point a new purchase contract will be made and you will be charged for your order at the price set out on the Site;
(b) subject to clause 11.7 (c) below, unless the product is faulty or not as described you will be responsible for the cost of returning the products to us. If the product is one which cannot be returned by post, we estimate that if you use the carrier which delivered the product to you, these costs should not exceed the sums we charged you for delivery. If we have offered to collect the product from you, we will charge you the direct cost to us of collection (which will not be materially inconsistent with the sums we charged you for delivery);
(c) If you have returned the products to us because they are faulty or mis-described, we will refund the price of the products in full, together with any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.
11.8
As you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with this contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to products that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this clause or anything else in these Terms.
