Ordering Products

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 Beauty Science UK Ltd to buy a Product via the Site (and Beauty Science UK Ltd 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 despatched (Despatch Confirmation). Our acceptance to your offer will be deemed complete and the contract between us shall be formed when we send you the Despatch Confirmation email.

10.

Pricing, availability and despatch information of Products

10.1

Information displayed on the Site as to pricing and availability is subject to change by Beauty Science UK Ltd. 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 despatch estimates on the Site in relation to Products are approximate. As we process your order, we will inform you by e-mail, telephone if any Products you order turn out to be unavailable. Please allow up to 10 business days for delivery in the UK and 21 days to the EU.

10.3

In spite of our best efforts, it is possible that a Product may be miss-priced on the Site. We do, however, confirm prices as part of our despatch 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 from the EU (see clause 10.4 below).

10.4

Products will be despatched 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 within 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 and 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 Despatch 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:

11.4

To cancel a contract, you need to let us know that you have decided to cancel by emailing us immediately at contact@beautyscienceuk.uk 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 using our returns portal.  The digital form must be completed with the relevant order number.  Refunds will be processed between 14 days and 30 days according to our warehouse process.

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 14 days for us to receive your return via our free UK returns portal. Refunds are processed through our warehouse system and it can take up to a further two weeks for the amount to show in your account.  We make all efforts to process returns and refunds as quickly as possible.

(d) Refunds in relation to Products may only be credited to the credit or debit card or PayPal or Stripe 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 through our returns portal service 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.
