clause 3 our offer and your order

We explicitly state in our offer when the latter is only valid for a constrained period of time or is subjected to specific conditions.

We always describe as complete and accurate as possible what we sell to you as well as the course of our delivery process. The description is in any case sufficiently detailed to allow you to make a proper assessment. If we make use of graphics, they are a true reflection of the offered goods and / or services. However, to err is human and if we are clearly mistaken, we are not obliged to deliver to you.

Your order is complete and the contract between us is final once we confirm your order by mail and regarding your payment made by credit or debit cards, as soon as we receive approval from the issuer of your card. We accept Bancontact, Maestro, Carte Bleu, V-pay, Visa, Mastercard and American Express.

clause 4 Right of withdrawal

If you buy goods from us, you have the right to decide that you do not want to keep the goods for 14 days from the delivery or[1] the conclusion of the contract. You can then return your order without penalty and without giving any reason (the cost hereof is to be paid by you). Within 14 days after reception of your returned order or your indication that you wish to forgo the agreement, we will pay you back the full purchase price, by the same means of payment which you utilised for the purchase.
The direct costs of the return of the goods will thus be at your expense. We will indicate the costs of the return or make an assessment of the costs, if it is not reasonably possible to calculate them in advance. Should it be impossible to return the goods by postal service, we will pick up the goods from you without charging you additional costs.

We can refuse repayment as long as we have not received the returned goods or until you have shown you have returned the goods, depending on which event occurs first.

We expect you to handle the order as well as the packaging with the utmost care during the first 14 days after delivery. If you want to return the goods, being hair brushes, as described above, those may not have been used in the intented way due to hygienic reasons, you may only unpack the box to assess whether or not you wishes to retain them.

Clause 5 Price

During the period we mention in our offer, our prices do not change, except for price changes resulting from changes in VAT rates.

The prices are valid on the day they are being shown on the website or for the mentioned period of validity. The prices mentioned on www.delphinandemerence.com are being expressed in euro inclusive of Belgian VAT of 21% and excluding delivery or shipping costs. For certain currencies we do however give a non-binding indication of the value in other currencies. Green Fit Beauty Concept bvba has the right to change or correct pricing at all times. Green Fit Beauty Concept is not responsible for pricings that are clearly not correct, for example as a result of input- or printing mistakes and can correct those mistakes after your order. All prices on the website are therefore under the exception of those mistakes. The prices do not include local costs inherent to a certain country or area (like import duties, local taxes,…), therefore these are to be paid by the customer. These local costs depend on your region and local administration.

Professional clients (businesses)

At the moment only private clients can make an order on this website. If you are a company you can not yet place an order using your business administration number. If you have a demand for a professional order, we kindly request you to send us an email regarding your B2B-order. (info@delphinandemerence.com)

Promotional campaigns and pre-launch campaign.

GFBC, Green Fit Beauty Concept, will undertake promotional campaigns on a regular basis. (for example pre-sale, discounts, free products, free delivery,…) These promotional campaigns run till end of stock or the end of the mentioned validity period. It is possible that the delivery time for our products with special reductions, are different from our normal delivery times. In this case, this will be clearly described during the buying process. It will not be accepted as a reason for cancelling your order. The method of delivery (shipper) can also be different from normal procedure during special promotional campaigns.

A user can never benefit from 2 different promotional campaigns/discounts at the same time, unless GFBC indicates clearly that it is possible. Therefore GFBC has the right to adjust your order when we notice that by for example a technical error two promotional offers (discounts) accidentally are applied to one or more products or product categories.

Discount codes are not valid on gift cards and books, unless we clearly mention it on our website or in our offer.

As mentioned before the prices mentioned on delphinandemerence.com are being expressed in euro inclusive of Belgian VAT of 21% and excluding delivery or shipping costs. Customers living in the European Union will be charged the Belgian VAT of 21%. For clients outside of the European Union, there is an applicable VAT percentage of 0%, the difference with the Belgian VAT will therefore be deducted from the price mentioned on the website when you go through the check-out and payment procedure. The invoice you receive will clearly indicate this. This 0% VAT will compensate any local taxes and import duties you might have to pay in your country of residence. Hence, you will never experience unpleasant surprises.
