2. General Principles
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale define the terms of online sales concluded between the Company and any User placing an order via the Site.
They are drafted in French in their original version, which alone is binding and prevails over any other translation.
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale apply to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions. They are accessible to the Client on the Site at any time and are systematically submitted to the Client prior to any order and again at the time the order is placed.
Any User of the Site agrees to comply, without limitation or reservation, with these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, whether they simply browse the Site or place an order. The Client is bound by the General Terms and Conditions of Sale and acknowledges having read them prior to placing any order.
Consequently, placing an order implies full and unconditional acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
A printed version of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale, as well as any information sent electronically, will be admissible in any legal proceeding concerning the enforcement of the said General Terms and Conditions in the same way as any other paper document that is preserved in hard copy format.
Failure to exercise, at any time, any right or provision under these General Terms and Conditions shall not be interpreted as a waiver of such right or provision, nor shall it affect the validity of any part of the General Terms and Conditions.
If any provision of the General Terms and Conditions is found to be unlawful or unenforceable by a court ruling, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
Changes to the General Terms and Conditions of Sale
In view of potential developments to the Site, the Company reserves the right to amend or update the General Terms and Conditions of Sale at any time. Therefore, Clients are invited to consult the General Terms and Conditions of Sale before placing any new order. The applicable General Terms and Conditions of Sale are those in force at the time the order is placed.
The prevailing version is the latest version available on the Site.
3.Legal Capacity
The Client must be a duly represented legal entity or a natural person of legal age with full legal capacity to place an order on the Site. Otherwise, they must have the authorization of their legal representative, which they expressly acknowledge and accept.
4.Products
The essential characteristics of the Products are described for each item in the online catalog. This information is presented to the Client prior to the order as part of the pre-contractual information provided.
5.Client Account
To place an order online on the Site, Users are invited—but not required—to create a Client account.
When creating an account, the Client will be asked to provide their full name, phone number, email address, and mailing address.
Once the account is created, a confirmation email summarizing the provided information will be sent to the Client at the email address entered.
The Client agrees to provide accurate, current, and complete information to the Company and to keep such information up to date. The Client agrees not to create an account under a false identity. It is the Client’s responsibility to update their personal information.
The login identifier is the Client's email address. Access to the Client’s account is protected by a personal and confidential password. The Client agrees to keep this password secure and not to disclose it to any third party. The Client is responsible for the security of their password. If the Client becomes aware of any fraudulent use of their account, they agree to notify the Company immediately.
6.Orders
The Client places their order from the Company’s online catalog available on the Site.
All orders must be placed exclusively through the Site.
It is specified that any order placed on the Site constitutes an order with an obligation to pay.
Any order implies acceptance of the Product descriptions and prices in effect on the date of the order.
To place an online order on the Site, the Client must:
-
enter their personal information (first name, last name, email address, phone number);
-
add one or more Products to their shopping cart;
-
provide billing and/or shipping address information.
Once the order is complete, the Client has the opportunity to review the Products selected, the total price of the order, and the order conditions. They may, if necessary, modify or cancel the order before final validation.
The order is definitively recorded only upon final validation of the order summary screen. This action is considered equivalent to a handwritten signature as referred to in Article 1367 of the French Civil Code and the conclusion of a contract in electronic form as defined in Articles 1127-1 and 1127-2 of the French Civil Code. From this point:
-
the Client confirms the order and declares full and unreserved acceptance of it, along with these General Terms and Conditions of Sale; and
-
the order is considered irrevocable and can only be challenged in the limited cases provided for herein.
7.Order Confirmation
Once the Client’s order has been registered, a detailed confirmation email is sent to the email address provided. This confirmation includes the total amount billed, the list and quantity of Products ordered, and the shipping terms.
This confirmation serves as acceptance of the order by the Company and validates the transaction. The Client agrees that the Company’s order recording systems shall serve as proof of the purchase and its date. By saving and/or printing this email, the Client retains proof of their order, which the Company recommends keeping.
This email confirms that the Client’s order has been received by the Company but does not guarantee the availability of the ordered Product.
The Company undertakes to fulfill online orders only while stocks last.
If a Product is unavailable, the Company agrees to inform the Client as soon as possible by email or phone. In case of unavailability, the Client may cancel or modify the order. If the Client chooses to cancel due to unavailability, they will be refunded within fourteen (14) days of the cancellation request.
8.Prices
– Product Prices
All Product prices are shown in euros, inclusive of all taxes.
The listed prices do not include shipping fees, which are generally the responsibility of the Client, in accordance with the "Shipping Fees" article below.
Promotional offers are valid only within the dual limits of the offer’s validity period and available stock.
Promotional codes apply only to full-price, non-discounted Products and cannot be combined with each other or with gift cards. Each promotional code can only be used once per Client account.
– Cost of Using a Remote Communication Method
Access to the Site is via the Internet.
Any Internet access costs incurred while using a remote communication service are the responsibility of the Client.
9.Shipping Fees
Shipping/return costs are the sole responsibility of the Client, except in the limited cases outlined in the “Delivery” article of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, specifically for non-conforming or defective Products. These fees include order handling and packaging.
However, by exception, for any order totaling more than one hundred and twenty (120) euros, worldwide shipping costs are covered by the Company.
10.Payment
Orders must be paid in full on the day the order is placed. “Payment” under this clause means the effective transfer of funds to the Company.
– Payment Methods
Payment is made online by credit card at the time of the order.
In all cases, the order will only be processed once payment is received and successfully credited.
If payment is declined by the bank, the order will be automatically cancelled.
– Transaction Security
To enhance transaction security over the Internet, the Site uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) online payment technology to ensure the confidentiality and security of all transmitted data during online payment.
Our online payment system automatically verifies the validity of access rights during payment by credit card and encrypts all exchanges to ensure confidentiality.
To benefit from SSL-secured payment, the Client must use browsers compatible with the SSL system.
11 – Delivery
- Delivery Methods
Delivery is made to the mailbox in mainland France, within the European Union, or internationally, at the Client's choice.
The parcel tracking number will be sent to the Client via email, enabling them to track the status of their delivery.
Shipping costs will be charged at ten (10) euros on the day of the order.
The Client is informed of the delivery terms before the final validation of their order.
- Delivery Time
Estimated delivery times are indicated on the Website at the time of ordering. They are generally between 7 and 10 business days, but the Company reserves the right to notify the Client by email of a longer delivery time after the order has been confirmed. Delivery times begin once the payment is received by the Company.
If several items are ordered at the same time with different delivery times, the latest delivery time will apply. However, in such cases, the Company reserves the right to deliver the order in multiple shipments.
Although the delivery times are indicative, the Company will make its best efforts to respect the times stated at the time of the order.
In the event of a delivery delay attributable to the Company, the Client may request the cancellation of the sale by sending a registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt, or any other durable medium (such as email with acknowledgment of receipt), if, after requesting delivery within an additional fifteen (15) day period under the same conditions, the Company has still not delivered.
In such a case, the sale shall be considered canceled upon receipt by the Company of the letter informing it of the termination, unless the delivery has taken place in the meantime.
In case of cancellation, the Company will refund the Client within fourteen (14) days from the date of the cancellation.
Late delivery shall not entitle the Client to any form of compensation.
12 - Receipt of Products
The Client must check the condition of the packaging and the conformity of the Product at the time of delivery and immediately report any reservations to the delivery agent to be noted on the delivery slip: damaged packaging, product damage, discrepancies with the order, etc.
Any complaint concerning visible defects or the non-conformity of the delivered Product with the information provided on the Website, or any damage resulting from transport, must be confirmed by the Client to the Company within 48 hours following receipt of the Product by email to the following address: contact@bloomycosmetics.com.
The Client must provide evidence of the reported non-conformities, defects, or damages (order number, photo of the product, reason for return, request for exchange/store credit/refund).
If no complaint is made within the time frame and conditions specified above, the delivered Products shall be deemed accepted by the Client.
Upon reporting the defect or non-conformity, the Client will receive a return authorization from the Company, including the return address and conditions.
Once the return authorization has been obtained, the Client shall return the Products to the address indicated on the return authorization, in accordance with the specified procedure.
Any Product returned without the Company’s prior agreement will be refused and returned to the sender at their own expense and risk.
To be eligible for return and/or exchange, Products must not have been used and must be returned intact in their original packaging along with any accessories, user manuals, and other documentation.
If the Client returns the Product due to a confirmed and acknowledged non-conformity, the Client must use the same delivery method as was used for the initial shipment. In such cases, return shipping costs will be covered by the Company either via a prepaid return label or by reimbursing the Client for the actual return shipping cost (a proof of postage must be included in the package; without it, no reimbursement can be claimed).
