The placement of an order via the Website assumes prior consultation and acceptance in full by the Customer of these Terms of Sale, which are available on the Website. The Parties agree that their relationship is governed by these Terms of Sale. COSSTRA reserves the right to amend these Terms of Sale at any time, promptly and without notice, by posting a new version on the Website. These Terms of Sale may under no circumstances be amended by the Customer. The version of these Terms of Sale in force is that available on the Website at the time the order is placed by the Customer. If one or more provisions of these Terms of Sale are rendered invalid further to a Belgian statutory provision or a judicial decision, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Orders may be placed in French or English. Once an order is completed, a summary is sent to the email address provided by the Customer for the latter’s records. The order is also archived by COSSTRA.

Article 1 - The Customer

In order to be able to validly place an order on the Website, the Customer must be at least 18 years of age and have legal capacity or, if the Customer is not at least 18 years of age, have parental authorization to place an order on the Website. The Customer thus declares that he or she has the necessary capacity to enter into a contract and is not under guardianship. COSSTRA reserves the right to request that a Customer prove his or her age or parental authorization and not to honor the Customer’s order if the latter fails to provide proof to this effect. When the Customer provides to COSSTRA, via the Website, information necessary for delivery and billing of the Product(s) displayed on the Website, the Customer must ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information provided. In the event of an error in the recipient’s contact details, COSSTRA may not be held responsible should it prove impossible to deliver the Product(s) `{`as defined below`}` ordered. COSSTRA reserves the right to cancel an order (with a refund) which it suspects does not meet the abovementioned conditions, without incurring any liability in this regard.

Article 2 - Products

The products of COSSTRA Fragrances or any other product offered for sale by COSSTRA (hereinafter the “Product(s)”) are those presented on the Website on the date of consultation of the Website by the Customer. COSSTRA takes great care to ensure that the Products displayed on the Website are presented and described as accurately as possible. However, photographs and descriptions of the Products are indicative only, not contractually binding. COSSTRA is not responsible for any errors or omissions in any presentation of the Products. COSSTRA shall fill orders placed by the Customer while supplies last and shall use its best efforts to ensure the availability in stock of the Products offered for sale on the Website.

Article 3 - Orders

The Customer expressly acknowledges that the placement of an order entails a payment obligation. Once payment is made (see Article 6 below), the Customer shall receive an email from COSSTRA acknowledging receipt of the order and summarizing it. This message shall be sent to the email address provided by the Customer.

Article 4 - Unavailability

Should one or more Products ordered by the Customer be temporarily or permanently unavailable, despite COSSTRA’s best efforts, or if the delivery time exceeds by more than eight (8) days that initially indicated (except in the event of force majeure), COSSTRA shall inform the Customer accordingly by email. The Customer will then have the possibility to amend or cancel the order by sending an email to contact@cosstra.com within fifteen (15) working days after being informed of the delay by COSSTRA. If applicable, COSSTRA undertakes to refund to the Customer any payment already made as soon as possible and in any case no later than fifteen (15) days from the date of modification or cancelation of the order. No additional amounts shall be paid by COSSTRA to the Customer.

Article 5 - Prices

The prices for the Products indicated on the Website are expressed in euros (€) for deliveries in Europe excluding the United Kingdom and in pounds sterling (£) for deliveries in the United Kingdom and include all taxes. However, they do not include delivery fees or any possible import duties which may not be reasonably calculated in advance within the meaning of Article VI.45.5 of the Code of Economic Law. Delivery fees will depend on the place to which the Product(s) are sent. They are calculated automatically and expressly indicated in the order summary, prior to payment by the Customer. The delivery costs are as follows : Country of delivery : Belgium, France (with the exception of overseas territories and Corsica), Germany, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the Netherlands Fees : EUR 9/GBP 9 Free delivery from : EUR 100/GBP 100 Country of delivery : Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Hungary, Ireland, Italy (including Sardinia and Sicily), Latvia, Lithuania, Monaco, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom Fees : EUR 13/GBP 13 Free delivery from : EUR 150/GBP 150 Country of delivery : Bulgaria, Croatia, Finland, Greece, Norway and Romania Fees : EUR 19/GBP 19 Free delivery from : EUR 200/GBP 200 These delivery frees are not applicable to deliveries to islands, which are determined on a case-by-case basis. In the event of withdrawal, the fees to return the Product(s) shall be borne by the Customer (see Article 10 below). Promotions and rebates, if any, shall be applied to the Customer’s order if the Customer meets the eligibility criteria and correctly enters the promotional codes(s). COSSTRA reserves the right to modify the prices displayed on the Website at any time, without prior notice being required. The prices applicable to the Customer’s order are those indicated on the Website at the time of validation of the order by the Customer.

Article 6 - Payment

The Website allows secure payments to be made by Bancontact debit cards or Visa, Mastercard and Maestro. No banking information is stored on the server, and COSSTRA does not have access to the bank details of the Customer : payments are made through an external platform, which guarantees a heightened level of security for transactions performed via the Website. If the Customer wishes to pay with a foreign credit or debit card, the card must be authorized for international transactions. Any commission or cost associated with payment for which the Customer is billed shall be borne by the latter. The Customer warrants to COSSTRA that he or she is entitled to use the bank card used to make the payment. The total amount to be paid for the order is indicated to the Customer on the web page summarizing his or her “shopping basket”, i.e. all items that make up the order. Before proceeding with payment, the Buyer thus has the possibility to verify online the details of his or her order and the total price and to correct any possible errors that he or she could have made when placing the order. Once payment is made by the Customer, the order is validated and becomes final, without prejudice to the right of withdrawal provided for by Article 10 below. The Customer expressly accepts and acknowledges that the provision of his or her bank details (full name, card number, expiration date and CVC number) are equivalent to an authorization to debit his or her account up to the total amount due for the order. In principle, the Customer’s account is only debited when the order is dispatched to the Customer, in order to avoid the Customer being charged for a Product that is not immediately available.

Article 7 - Title to the Products

COSSTRA retains title in full to the Products until the receipt of payment in full of all invoices, including fees and taxes.

Article 8 - Delivery

The order shall be shipped to the delivery address indicated by the Customer when placing the order via the Website. If delivery cannot take place or if the Customer refuses delivery, the package shall be returned to COSSTRA, and the Customer shall be refunded within fifteen (15) days from receipt of the package by COSSTRA. COSSTRA may not be held liable for the proper performance by external carriers of their obligations, without prejudice to any rights the Customer may have in their regard (within the meaning of Article VI.44 of the Code of Economic Law). If the direct liability of COSSTRA is raised, COSSTRA may be released from said liability, in whole or in part, by producing proof that the breach or improper performance of the contract with the Customer is attributable to the latter or to an unforeseeable and unavoidable act by a third party to the contract or to an event of force majeure.

Article 9 - Delivery times

Upon receipt of payment for the order, COSSTRA shall do the necessary to process it and ship the Product(s) ordered as soon as possible. Delivery times may vary depending on the country of delivery selected by the Customer and the time at which the order is placed. Overall, delivery times shall not – except in exceptional cases – exceed eight (8) days from the day after which an order is paid for by the Customer and received by COSSTRA, from Monday to Friday before 12.00. Delivery times depend on (1) the processing time by COSSTRA, (2) the carrier’s delivery times, and (3) customs clearance. 1. Processing time In the vast majority of cases and for information purposes only, it should be noted that Products are shipped by COSSTRA within two working days following the placement of an order before midnight (GMT+1) on the preceding day. 2. Carrier delivery times COSSTRA ships orders through external postal services, primarily DPD (hereinafter DPD). For information purposes only, their delivery times are as follows: Europe : 3 to 8 working days 3.

The Customer bears all risk associated with return of the Products.

Article 11 - Delivery mistakes

Should the Customer exceptionally receive from COSSTRA a Product that does not correspond to the order, the Customer should contact COSSTRA at contact@cosstra.com as soon as possible, and in any case within fourteen (14) days following receipt of the order. COSSTRA shall then confirm noncompliance of the delivery with the order and indicate the return procedure, which shall be at COSSTRA’s expense. IMPORTANT: For returns/exchanges originating from countries outside the EU, the Customer shall clearly indicate on the customs waybill that the shipment pertains to non-commercial goods without resale value, so that no customs duties will be charged to COSSTRA. In the event of a return, COSSTRA shall proceed likewise to that the Customer does not have to pay customs duties twice. The Customer may not exercise the right of withdrawal set out above for Products made to the Customer’s specifications or that are clearly personalized within the meaning of Article VI.53 of the Code of Economic Law.
