I - General sales conditions

1.1 Ordering and purchasing process

toutelacosmetique has the following payment options available for purchases made at its online store:

Credit Card

The customer will be able to pay using a credit card and take advantage of the liquidity and payment deadlines offered by his/her bank.

All transactions on our website are secure.

Is it safe to pay online using my credit card?

toutelacosmetique uses a sophisticated fraud detection and prevention mechanism. This solution makes it possible to verify the authenticity of online payments, while simultaneously ensuring our customers' data integrity and security, as well as their identification.

This security feature is provided via SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology that encrypts communications between the customer's computer and our server, so that they cannot be intercepted. Thus, toutelacosmetique reserves the right to refuse payment of any order by any transaction considered to be illicit. Any and all activities considered as illegal will be immediately reported to the competent authorities.

3D Secure: 3D Secure is a communication protocol designed to improve online payment security and enable the authentication of the card user by the credit card issuer. When paying at an online store, a credit card validation process is triggered. Should the credit card be considered valid, 3D Secure protocol security systems check the customer's identity, resorting to the credit card issuer in real time. The issuer validates the customer's identity and informs the store system that the card being used is legitimate.

The goal is to protect credit card users, minimising the possibility of fraudulent credit card use and improving overall transaction performance. This protocol is used by Visa, as "Verified by Visa", and by Mastercard, as "Secure Code".

How is credit card payment processed?

After selecting the credit card payment option and clicking on "Place Order", the customer is directed to the payment platform where the necessary credit card data needs to be entered, namely the credit card number, expiration date and security code. Finally, clicking on the "I validate my payment" button will set the transaction in motion.

If payment is declined, an error message will be displayed in the shopping cart window. In such an event, attempting to complete the transaction again is recommended. If the problem persists however, we advise the customer to contact his/her bank or credit card issuer for further information.

The transaction will be captured, when your product has been shipped.

If, for any reason, it proves necessary to completely or partially cancel the order, the corresponding value will be refund within 5 working days. The transaction will show on the customer's credit card statement three working days following the reimbursement date.

Warning: Payments are always charged in Euros, even if prices are displayed in other currencies. Some banking institutions may charge currency exchange rates. toutelacosmetique is totally alien to this fact and is not to be held responsible for it.

WIRE TRANSFER

In case the customer prefers to make the payment after registering his order, the bank transfer option is available so that he can pay for the order later. The shipment of the package will only be possible once the transfer has been made and after we have obtained confirmation from our bank that the payment is available on our account.

It is strongly recommended to indicate the order reference number on the bank transfer and to send a proof of payment to our Customer Service department for faster identification of the payment and processing of the order.

Any bank charges claimed by the customer's bank are at the customer's expense.

Products are put on hold for 6 days. If the payment has not been received by toutelacosmetique within this period of time, the order will be automatically cancelled. 

1.2 Delivery Process

Once the order has been shipped, the customer will receive a confirmation e-mail with the respective invoice, assigned tracking number and a link that allows tracking of the order on the carrier's website.

The customer may also access this link by logging into his/her toutelacosmetique account and clicking on the "Orders" tab shown on the login page. By clicking on an order in the "Orders" column on the left-hand side of the screen, the customer will be given all the information about that same order in the column "Order Details" on the right-hand side of the screen, including the aforementioned link.

Trying to track the order at the time the shipping confirmation with the tracking number is received may not return any results. Shipping information may take up to 24 hours from reception of the shipping confirmation e-mail to be updated on the carrier's website. toutelacosmetique cannot be held responsible for this.

Orders are delivered from Monday to Friday, with the exception of national or municipal holidays, at the address provided by the customer when placing the order.

The customer may receive the order at whatever address s/he prefers (with the exception of PO Boxes). S/he should provide an address where s/he will be between 9 am and 7 pm. The chosen carrier will attempt to deliver the order at the address indicated by the customer.

Warning: Choosing a specific delivery time is not possible, as deliveries are conditioned by the routes defined by the carrier on the respective delivery date.

Providing an incorrect or incomplete address may lead to the parcel being returned to toutelacosmetique, which may mean additional costs imputable to the customer. As such, we recommend the customer makes sure that the delivery address provided when placing the order is complete and accurate. Once the order is placed, it is no longer possible to change either the delivery address, or the billing details.

toutelacosmetique has the following delivery services available:

We will ship the customer's order the day within 48H following the payment used: credit card, bank transfer.

WARNING: Delivery deadlines are guidelines and are therefore only to be considered valid when there are no physical or structural impediments to delivery (e.g. incorrect delivery addresses or force majeure, such as strikes, missed connections, poor weather conditions, etc).

DELIVERY TIME

Standard Delivery:

Once the customer's order has been shipped, we guarantee a delivery time of 7 to 10 working days, depending the country of destination.

CAUTION: Delivery times are provided as an indication and should therefore be taken into account only when there are no physical or structural obstacles to delivery, such as an incorrect delivery address or factors beyond our control (strikes, loss of air links, bad weather conditions, among others).

SHIPPING COSTS

Shipping costs are automatically calculated by our system, depending on the following factors: 

• actual or volumetric weight of the parcel (whichever the highest)
• order amount
• carrier prices, which are updated on a regular basis

Shipping costs are automatically updated as the customer adds items to the shopping cart. 

REFUNDING SHIPPING COSTS

There are three situations that can lead to a refund of the order shipping costs:

• i) Failure to deliver the order for reasons directly attributable to toutelacosmetique or the carrier: the customer will be refunded in full for the amount paid for shipping. An employee from the refunds and reimbursements section of the toutelacosmetique Customer Service team will get in touch with the customer to confirm his or her right to receive a shipping refund and to clarify any additional questions on this subject. 

• ii) One or more errors in products shipped or shipping of faulty products: the shipping amount paid by the customer will be refunded in full only if the error or fault is present in all shipped products. For more information please check article 1.7 below. 

• iii) Right to Contract Termination: in compliance with articles 9 and 11 of Directive 2011/83/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011 applicable to distance and off-premises contracts, the customer can exercise his or her right to contract termination within 14 days from the day s/he receives the ordered product or, should the order be composed of several items to be delivered in different days, from the day s/he received the last article. To exercise this right, the customer must send toutelacosmetique a clear statement of contract termination before the deadline indicated. toutelacosmetique will refund the shipping amount paid by the customer in full. An employee from the refunds and reimbursements section of the toutelacosmetique Customer Service team will get in touch with the customer to confirm his or her right to a shipping refund and to clarify any additional questions on this subject.

Applicable procedures in case of occurrences

Should a prepaid order be returned to toutelacosmetique for reasons not imputable to toutelacosmetique or the transport service, toutelacosmetique will reimburse the amount paid for the order, including shipping and return costs. Prepaid orders are those paid for by Credit Card, PayPal, ATM or Bank Transfer.

The customer can choose to be reimbursed via original payment method, or by means of a reimbursement coupon to be applied to a future order. The coupon will remain valid for 12 months from its creation. After that, no further reimbursement will be issued. In case the original payment was made by ATM or bank transfer, the customer will be contacted to, if willing, provide the necessary bank account details for the reimbursement.

If the reason for the unsuccessful delivery and return of the order falls under the responsibility of the carrier, regardless of the chosen payment method, the customer must write a complaint that will be subjected to analysis by the carrier. In case the delivery problem is due to incomplete or incorrect delivery address, the customer should attach a proof of address (e.g. a gas, water or electricity bill) to the complaint.

ORDER CANCELLATION

The customer can only cancel the order as long as it has not yet been paid for and is not yet being processed. If this is the case, the customer can simply access their account and click on "Orders". In the "Order History" column, the customer must select the order to be cancelled, and then click on "Cancel Order" in the "Order Details" column. Once the order is cancelled, a confirmation message will be displayed.

Order cancellation is only possible via the previously described procedure. Any cancellation request made by any other means will not be fulfilled.

1.3 Return and Exchange Procedure

RETURNS

Should the customer wish to return one or more items, this can be done within 14 days after receiving the order, as long as the products are still intact, sealed, complete and inside the original packaging, which cannot be damaged, altered or scratched. It is up to the customer to ensure that the returned items arrive at the facilities mentioned below within 28 days from the day on which the order was delivered.

To exercise the right of return, the customer must contact our Customer Service. It will be necessary to specify the order number, description(s) or reference number(s) of the product(s) to be returned, and how the reimbursement is to take place. Reimbursement is possible either via the original payment method or by means of a reimbursement coupon that will remain valid for 12 months after it is issued, after which no further reimbursement can be issued.

The customer also needs to check if the product(s) s/he wishes to return was/were acquired as part of any promotional campaign, and if, for that reason, s/he received any free product(s). If that is the case, it will be necessary not only to return the product(s) in question, but also the gift added for free. Both are required to comply with the aforementioned guidelines.

A pack, composed of various products, can only be returned in its entirety. If the customer wishes to return a product belonging to a pack, all products that are part of that particular pack must be returned. All products in the pack are required to comply with the aforementioned guidelines.

Returning incomplete, damaged or scratched products, products without their original packaging and/or label, or products that present signs of use, will not be accepted.

Should any item be received in any of the above-mentioned conditions or with the carrier label placed directly on the respective product packaging, the customer will lose the right to be reimbursed and will be granted 10 days to have the item(s) picked up from the above-mentioned facilities, paying for the collection costs.

EXCHANGES

The customer will have to return the item(s), request the respective reimbursement, and subsequently place a new order.
The entire return process is described in detail in the item RETURNS.

REFUND METHODS

toutelacosmetique will do everything in its power to reimburse the customer as quickly as possible. There is, however, a maximum reimbursement period of 15 days from the day the product arrives at the above-mentioned warehouse.

RETURN COSTS

If toutelacosmetique is so notified and if it there is confirmation of an error in the shipped product(s) or that flawed product(s) have been shipped, toutelacosmetique will bear the costs of their return by collecting the product(s) in question at the delivery address. With this purpose in mind, an employee from the returns and reimbursements section of the toutelacosmetique Customer Service team will get in touch with the customer to schedule the aforementioned collection and to provide any additional clarification on this matter.

In case the customer wishes to exercise his/her right to contract termination, and whenever the delivery address' city or any other selected by the customer has this service available, the customer will be able to return the product(s) in question at the toutelacosmetique pick-up point. With this purpose in mind, an employee from the returns and reimbursements section of the toutelacosmetique Customer Service team will get in touch with the customer to confirm the nearest pick-up point and to clarify any additional questions on this matter. If the customer chooses to return the order by any alternative way, the costs of said return will be borne by the customer.

1.4 Product Information

toutelacosmetique takes all necessary precautions to ensure that all details, descriptions and prices of products on our website are correct. Nevertheless, situations may occur in which information regarding products, including prices and promotions, have not been published correctly. In cases like these, toutelacosmetique reserves the right not to process orders containing such products. If a customer places an order for these products, they will be contacted by our Customer Service, informing them that it will not be possible to proceed with the order process.

Orders may also be rejected due to other reasons, such as: 

• out of stock products
• inability to obtain payment authorisation
• order is considered to be fraudulent 

All products, campaigns, promotions and offers are limited to the available stock and/or stock allocated for the campaign in question.

Whenever an order is placed using the Cash on Delivery payment method*, and it contains a product that we no longer have in stock, it will be removed from the order and we will, after contacting the customer and confirming it should be so, dispatch the remaining products. If the order contains one or more products that are part of a pack, once the customer has been contacted for confirmation, this pack will be removed from the order entirely.

If the order has been paid for via Credit Card or PayPal*, and it contains a product that we no longer have in stock, it will be removed from the order and the remaining products will be dispatched so as not to delay the process. If the order contains one or more products that are part of a pack, this pack will be removed from the order entirely. The customer will always be informed about the changes made. A reimbursement via the original payment method will be issued immediately. The customer will be informed by the Customer Service team about both the changes made to the order and the scheduling of the reimbursement.

If the selected payment method was ATM or Bank Transfer*, and the order contains a product no longer in stock, it will be removed from the order and we will, after contacting the customer and confirming it should be so, dispatch the remaining products. If the order contains one or more products that are part of a pack, once the customer has been contacted for confirmation, the pack will be removed from the order entirely. Reimbursement can be issued immediately in the form of a coupon that will be valid for 12 months from its issue date, after which there will be no further reimbursements. A message will be sent to the customer by our Customer Service team about the changes made to the order and the reimbursement coupon code issued. If the customer prefers to be reimbursed via the original payment method, s/he can request this by replying to the Customer Service message and re-sending the reimbursement coupon code along with the details of the bank account to which the reimbursement is to be made (bank name, IBAN and SWIFT).

* The above-mentioned payment methods are not available for every country. Please check the information above, under "Payment Methods", to know the ones that are available for the customer's country.

toutelacosmetique reserves the right to change prices at any time, without prior notice.

• Contract resolution and subsequent reimbursement in case none of the previous options is possible 

To exercise his/her warranty right, the customer will always be required to file a complaint with our Customer Service team and return the goods that are malfunctioning or that do not match the purchased item.

Our Customer Service team will check the article(s) in question so as to confirm the validity of the warranty claim made by the customer, from which all situations resulting from the following, among others, are excluded:

• Customer misuse and intentional or unintentional harm
• Normal wear and tear of the product, provided it matches the levels that are expected and declared by the manufacturer
• Inability to confirm the malfunctioning or defect described by the customer
• All situations identified as attempted fraud

Once the returned product has been inspected, the customer will be informed about his/her request.

In cases where the exercise of warranty proves applicable, toutelacosmetique will promote the repair, replacement or reimbursement of the item within the shortest possible time up to a maximum of 30 days from the day of written confirmation sent by e-mail stating that the customer is entitled to exercise the right of warranty.

The reimbursement of any amount will be made through the original payment method, unless a different agreement is reached with the customer.

These provisions do not affect the customer's statutory rights.

II – Data Protection and Privacy Policy

2.1. Introduction

By browsing the toutelacosmetique website and registering as a customer in the online store you confirm you understand and accept the present Data Protection and Privacy Policy.

toutelacosmetique continues to care for the defence of personal data privacy and is playing a pre-emptive role concerning the safety of the website and data protection of its customers and visitors.

New data protection measures have been implemented, both to verify the legitimacy of personal data processing and to ensure the rights granted to the subjects of said data are being observed, so as to reinforce the guarantee of personal data confidentiality. Within this scope, and through a specialisation of our customer service channels, toutelacosmetique aims to promote a clearer, more objective transmission of the purpose and transparency of personal data processing operations.

Thus, the information contained in this text seeks to convey in a clear, unequivocal way, the content of the data protection and privacy policy, data which will be processed in compliance with the terms of the current Data Protection and Privacy Policy (henceforth referred to as RGPD) and defined by the content of the commercial relationship to be established between the data subject and toutelacosmetique.

2.2. Types of personal data processed

In general terms, personal data will be gathered in three situations directly resulting from toutelacosmetique' line of business:

2.2.1. User registration: toutelacosmetique customer account creation and purpose of data processing

A personal area is made available for the customer to enter the data needed for his or her identification so as to create a customer account. The first purchase will depend on the additional personal data being supplied, since they are essential for his or her identification as a customer and respective delivery of goods.

Any mandatory fields in the forms available for these registration stages are marked with an asterisk (*). 

toutelacosmetique commits to protecting customer data and never make them available to a third party without the knowledge or consent of the subject, as required by law.

When processing a customer order, it is possible that certain personal data – such as address and postal code – are disclosed to third parties for the sole purpose of preventing and detecting fraud, and always after being required to do so by the competent authorities. 

Also, when purchasing on the website, delivery address and payment details will be requested so as to guarantee the best possible efficiency and deadline compliance. 

Supplied data will be stored only for as long as strictly necessary, which is usually while the customer has an active customer account. For this reason, as soon as the customer sets the customer account cancellation process in motion, his or her personal data will be permanently deleted, except for data needed to meet legal obligations, which will be stored in a specific database and for only as long as absolutely necessary. Should the customer wish to place a new order on the website, s/he will need to register again, being subject to the terms and conditions in effect at that time.

We can also gather other information regarding customers' website experience, which we will do only after confirming the subject is aware of and, if necessary, has given specific consent for such, and with the exclusive purpose of improving customer service. For assessment and certification of quality of service and response efficiency, toutelacosmetique shares data with entities specialised in that field, namely eKomi Ltd., Trustpilot and Trustedshop.
Completing customer registration will trigger a registration confirmation that will be sent to the e-mail address associated to the customer account by the customer, and which will include a link to the present text.

In terms of customer data update, whenever the customer wishes to check the data supplied to toutelacosmetique, s/he can do so by accessing his or her toutelacosmetique account. The customer is required to keep his or her account access information secure since any and all action taken, or request made, from his or her account will be the sole responsibility of the customer, provided that the customer identity validation procedures described below have been performed.

We advise the customer not to store his or her password in the browser, since anyone else who has access to his or her computer will be able to access his or her personal data. 

For what purpose are gathered data used?

Customer data are processed to perform actions such as order processing, notification of possible changes to website functionalities, surveys and interaction assessment for statistical purposes.

We can also send product and service information, campaigns, promotions and special offers by e-mail from time to time. Should the customer not wish to be contacted for said purposes, s/he can cancel his or her newsletter subscription by opting out in the Manage Permissions tab of the account data area or by clicking the link made available for that specific purpose. 

2.2.2. Customer contact with toutelacosmetique

Whenever the customer, of his or her own initiative, contacts toutelacosmetique to obtain information regarding products, the purchase process, order status or to report any website-related situation, toutelacosmetique may need to gather additional personal data for several purposes, which will be specifically transmitted but that can generally fit the following situations:

i) confirming customer identity and reason for contact.

toutelacosmetique has implemented additional measures to confirm the identity of the person in cases where s/he is contacting us by phone, as a way of guaranteeing we are indeed contacting the account data subject.

Thus, from May 25th, 2018 onwards, the operator will only proceed with the call once s/he has transmitted, in a clear, objective way, the purpose and conditions of validating a customer's identity and after receiving from said customer the intention of proceeding with the contact under such conditions.

With this is mind, and as an example, the operator will ask permission to access the shopping history of the last 6 (six) months) and will only do so should the customer be asked to specify one or more products purchased in previous orders.

As an alternative, and after describing this identity validation mechanism, an alphanumeric validation code may be sent to the mobile phone or e-mail address registered to the customer account, which should then be conveyed to the operator at the beginning of the call.

Once the customer's identity has been validated, the operator will ask some key questions based on the reason for contact so as to have a better context of the situation and possibly forward it to another Customer Service employee that specialises in said subject.

A possible recording of the phone call for service quality assessment will depend on previous and express consent from the customer.

Every time there is a contact between the customer and the Customer Service team, and once the situation that determined said contact is deemed to be resolved, the customer will receive an e-mail confirming the complaint/request status update. Any personal data that is part of the process of the initial contact will be kept for 30 months, after which they will be permanently deleted. For statistical purposes, if the customer consents to it, his or her customer service satisfaction level will be registered. This does not mean any personal data will be saved – only the assessment level, anonymously.

2.2.3. toutelacosmetique' contact with the customer

toutelacosmetique may need to contact the customer regarding a specific order so as to:

i) confirm or correct any personal data necessary to complete the delivery process (e.g. delivery address). In these cases, the mobile phone number registered in the customer file will be contacted and, once the call has been placed, the operator will confirm the identity of the speaker following the procedure described in 2.2.2./i above, if necessary.
ii) inform the customer that a message has been sent to his or her account message box due to one or more articles in the order being out of stock and that as an alternative to the unavailable products there can be a full refund or a replacement of the items for similar products, as mentioned in article 1.4 of the General Conditions of Sale.

2.2.4.2. Activating and deactivating cookies and other similar technologies

Newsletters and other communications may contain information to indicate if they have been opened and check if enclosed links have been clicked on, for statistical purposes. However, the customer can always cancel the newsletter and e-mail communications by selecting the option mentioned in the received communications.

Furthermore, the customer will be able to manage the use of cookies and other similar technologies in the browser's Help menu. Such as mentioned in the message on top of this page, access to the toutelacosmetique online store depends on the use of cookies, meaning that deactivating them may condition website browsing.

For more information, please check the information made available in each browser or articles containing specific information on this subject (e.g. http://www.allaboutcookies.org). 

2.2.4.3. Personalised communications for product promotion

Depending on whether the customer chooses the standard or the custom experience, toutelacosmetique may or may not send e-mails, in the form of notifications or newsletters, through which it performs general or customer-oriented promotional campaigns. On both cases, said communications only happen after confirming the customer has expressly and unequivocally consented and that s/he has been informed of his or her right to cancel permissions granted for such purposes at any time. The customer can check permissions granted in the scope of personal data processing in the "Manage Permissions" tab of his or her account.

Personal data processing for personal communications is handled in strict compliance with the GDPR both by toutelacosmetique employees and by third parties to which the abovementioned data is disclosed for purposes of performing services necessary for launching promotional campaigns. 

2.2.4.4. Redirection

Some website hyperlinks will redirect the customer to toutelacosmetique-partner external websites. By clicking on those hyperlinks, you will be leaving the toutelacosmetique website. As it's not possible to control those websites, toutelacosmetique will not be liable for any content made available there.

2.3. Processing Security

toutelacosmetique uses one of the safest online order systems and is constantly improving its software so as to offer the best possible security to its customers. It uses a server certificate, also known as a digital certificate, to keep customers' identity safe, as well as SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption of transmitted data.

2.4. Limitation of Purpose, Access and Retention

toutelacosmetique commits to using its customers' and visitors' personal data for purposes strictly necessary to pursuing its activity, with limitations resulting from the scope of said activity or range of consent expressly given by data subjects. This means that data will not be conveyed to a third party without the knowledge and/or authorisation of data subjects in the cases where toutelacosmetique is thus legally bound.

As such, toutelacosmetique ensures that its employees only access said data as needed to perform a given action. Employees are identified and monitored according to functions and tasks assigned to them in the scope of their contractual relationship. 

2.5. Data Subject Rights

2.5.1. Right to Information and Right of Access to Personal Data

Customers have the right to request information about stored personal data at any time regarding category, origin and recipient(s), data retention period, processing purposes, identification of the data controller, data protection officer and respective contacts.

Where requests from a data subject are manifestly unfounded or excessive, toutelacosmetique may charge a fee of EUR 100/hour (one hundred euros) to process the request. This fee must be paid within 5 (five) working days after receiving payment instructions. The instructions shall be sent in writing to the e-mail address provided by the data subject and/or via SMS to the mobile phone number registered to your user account or specified in the relevant information request. 

2.5.2. Right to rectification and erasure of personal data

To exercise his or her right to rectify data, the customer must send their request identifying the data to be modified and its new enunciation by e-mail to info@toutelacosmetique.com. The same process must be followed if the customer wishes to exercise their right to erasure of personal data. In both cases, the customer will receive confirmation, via the same channel, that their request was answered as requested.

2.5.3. Right to object and withdrawal of prior consent

To strengthen the principle of transparency in the processing of personal data and customer communications, toutelacosmetique allows the customer to modify the data processing permissions granted for each of the indicated purposes at any time. Through the opt-in and opt-out features made available for the activation and deactivation of granted permissions — the "Manage Permissions" tab of the customer’s personal account — the customer may modify or withdraw previous consents, namely those provided for the purpose of receiving advertising campaigns, newsletters and other individualised communications aimed at optimising the toutelacosmetique-customer relationship or the custom experience.

As a way of guaranteeing the right to withdraw consent and to limit the processing time of personal data, toutelacosmetique provides the customer with access to his or her permission management actions in the "Manage Permissions" tab of his or her personal area, under the option "Permission History".
