Purchasing Process and Rights of the User

Paid services

Procosmet Italy provides for services available upon payment of a fee.
The fees, duration and conditions for the accounts and paid services are highlighted in the relevant section of Procosmet Italy.

Purchasing process

Each order sent constitutes an offer to purchase the products. Orders are subject to availability and to the Owner’s discretionary acceptance.
Users must select the products and complete the check-out, after having attentively verified the information in the order summary. The order is placed by the confirmation of the same, and is subject to payment of the price, taxes and shipping and further payment fees indicated in the order summary.
The Order Processing Receipt does not constitute acceptance of the order. The order shall be confirmed at the time the Order Confirmation is sent by the Owner to the email address provided by the User. The Owner reserves the right to invalidate an order by informing the User within 5 business days of placing the order, using the email address associated with their purchase, about the unavailability of one or more of the purchased products. In this case, the Owner will refund the price and the delivery costs incurred by the User.

Methods of payment

Accepted methods of payment are only those listed in check-out process. Procosmet Italy uses third-party tools for its payment processing and is not connected with any of the provided payment information – such as the credit card – in any way.
If the owner of any of such third-party tools refuses to authorize a payment, the Owner cannot provide the Service and will therefore not be liable for any delay or failure to deliver. Any cost related to the User's not accepted payment process will be charged to the User.

Availability of products

Prices, descriptions, or availability of the products displayed are subject to change without notice. The photos posted are of indicative nature and do not constitute a guarantee of the quality of the products.
Descriptions and usage indications relating to each product, including their expiry date as displayed online and on or by the product's packaging at delivery, are contractually binding. Incorrect or improper use of the purchased products by the User exempts the Owner from each and every form of liability.

Order Completion

The Order is completed in accordance with the details specified on the order summary page and within the Order Confirmation email, subject to availability of the product ordered.
The Owner shall not be liable for damages suffered as a result of delays in delivery which are not dependent on circumstances foreseen by the parties at the time of the order confirmation.

Delivery

Deliveries are made during normal business hours at the address indicated by the User and in the manner specified in the order summary. The Owner delivers products purchased on Procosmet Italy worldwide, except the following territories: Bahrain, Bulgaria, Egypt, Hong Kong, Iran, Korea, Malaysia, Russia, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Taiwan and Ukraine.
Unless otherwise stated (e.g. products out of stock, personalised items etc.) products are normally delivered within 7 working days from the conclusion of the contract. Delivery times depend on the shipping address. Delivery times specified in the order summary are purely indicative. Possible delays in delivery will be immediately signalled to Users on Procosmet Italy or personally using the e-mail address communicated at purchase.
Upon delivery, the User must verify the contents specifying any anomalies in the delivery form.
In case of failure to collect the products by the deadline set by the carrier, the products will be returned to the Owner, who will refund the purchase price but not the shipping cost. The Owner cannot be held responsible for errors in delivery due to inaccuracies or incompleteness in the completion of the purchase order by the User, for any damage occurring to products after delivery to the carrier company where arranged by the User or for delays in delivery attributable to it.

Right of cancellation

In case of purchase of products or services via Procosmet Italy the User has the right to terminate the contract without specifying the reason, within 14 days. The withdrawal period expires after 14 days from the day in which the User or a third party – other than the carrier and designated by the User – takes physical possession of the products. To exercise the right of withdrawal, the User is obliged to inform the Owner of their decision to withdraw by sending an unequivocal statement to the listed contacts.

Effects of cancellation

Users who correctly withdraw from a contract will be reimbursed by the Owner for all payments made to the Owner, including those covering the cost of delivery (except for the additional costs arising from a possible choice of a certain type of delivery other than the standard delivery offered, which would have incurred lower delivery costs) without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which the Owner is informed of the User’s decision to withdraw from the contract subject as provided below. Such reimbursements will be made using the same means of payment as used by the User for the initial transaction, unless the User has expressly agreed otherwise; in any event the User shall not incur any additional costs as a result of such reimbursement. The reimbursement may be withheld until the receipt of the goods, or until the User has supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
The User shall send back the goods and return them to the Owner without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which they have communicated the withdrawal from the contract. The deadline is met if the User sends back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. The costs of returning the goods is to be borne by the User but will be reimbursed as above. The User is solely liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling of the goods other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

Limitations on the right of cancellation concerning products

Damaged goods, or goods used in any way other than what is strictly necessary to establish their nature, characteristics and functioning, will not be replaced or refunded.
The right of withdrawal does not apply to: goods that were made to the consumer’s specifications or clearly personalized or which, by their nature, are liable to deteriorate rapidly, are sealed and do not lend themselves to be returned for hygienic reasons or are related to health protection and were unsealed after delivery.

Applicability of the right of withdrawal

The clauses referring to the exercise of the right of withdrawal, and its consequences and exceptions, shall apply solely to the Users who can be qualified as consumers, i.e. Users who are acting outside of the scopes of their professional and/or entrepreneurial activity.

Guarantee

The User who buys as a consumer has the right to a guarantee of conformity for products and services bought within 24 months of their purchase, provided that notice is given to the Owner of the defects found within 2 months of their discovery.
To exercise the right of guarantee, the User is obliged to contact the Owner, using the contact information contained in this document, and provide an accurate description of the defect.
If the product does not conform to the description, the User has the right to a repair or replacement of the product.
The User also has right to request a fair price reduction or termination of the contract, in the following cases:

  • If repair and replacement are impossible or prohibitively expensive;
  • If the Owner has not taken steps to repair or replace the goods within a reasonable period, not less than 15 days;
  • Whenever a previously carried out replacement or repair has caused significant inconvenience to the User.

The User is obliged to return defective products.
