We reserve the right to refuse service and/or terminate accounts without prior notice if you violate these Website Terms or if we decide, in our sole discretion, that it would be in our best interests to do so.

 

ELIGIBILITY TO PURCHASE

 

In order to make purchases on the Site you will be required to provide your personal details. In particular, you must provide your real name, phone number, e-mail address and other requested information as indicated. Furthermore, you will be required to provide payment details that you represent and warrant are both valid and correct and you confirm that you are the person referred to in the Billing information provided.

 

The Site is available only to individuals and others who meet the Vitamasques terms of eligibility, who have been issued a valid credit/debit card by a bank acceptable to Vitamasques, whose applications are acceptable to Vitamasques and who have authorized Vitamasques to process a charge or charges on their credit/debit card in the amount of the total purchase price for the merchandise which they purchase. Products purchased by the buyer are for personal or gift use and should not be re-sold, used for commercial purposes or any other commercial benefit. In addition, Vitamasques reserves the right to restrict multiple quantities of an item being shipped to any one customer or postal address.

 

By making an offer to purchase merchandise you expressly authorize us to perform credit checks and where Vitamasques feels necessary, to transmit or to obtain information (including any updated information) about you to or from third parties, including but not limited to your credit/debit card number or credit reports (including credit reports for your spouse if you reside in a community property jurisdiction), to authenticate your identity, to validate your credit/debit card, to obtain an initial credit/debit card authorization and to authorize individual purchase transactions.

 

Furthermore, you agree that we may use Personal Information provided by you in order to conduct appropriate anti fraud checks. Personal Information that you provide may be disclosed to a credit reference or fraud prevention agency, which may keep a record of that information.

 

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for further information about how we use your data.

 

ORDERS

 

All orders are subject to acceptance and availability, and items in your shopping basket are not reserved and may be purchased by other customers.

 

If the goods ordered are not available, you will be notified by e-mail (or by other means if no e-mail address has been provided) and you will have the option either to wait until the item is available from stock or to cancel your order.

 

We will take all reasonable care to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data provided by you when accessing or ordering from the Website.

 

You will assume the risk for the products once they have been delivered to the delivery address which you specified when ordering the products. We accept no liability where you provide an incorrect delivery address or where you fail to collect the products from the delivery address which you specified.

 

PRICING

 

All prices shown are inclusive of VAT (only where applicable) at the current rates. We reserve the right, however, to change prices at any time without notice to you.

 

If you are a customer whose credit/debit card is not denominated in the United Kingdom, the final price might be calculated in accordance with the applicable exchange rate on the day your card issuer processes the transaction.

 

If your delivery address is within the United Kingdom, no additional taxes will be charged to you. If your delivery address is outside of the United Kingdom you may be subject to import duties and taxes (including VAT), which are levied once a delivery reaches your destination country. Any such additional charges must be borne by you. You should note that customs policies and practices vary widely from country to country. We recommend that you contact your local customs office for information.

 

Please note that when shipping goods from outside the United Kingdom, cross border shipments may be subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities. In respect of all goods dispatched to you to an address outside of the United Kingdom, you are deemed to be the importer of the goods and must therefore comply with all the laws and regulations of the country into which the goods are being delivered.

 

ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR ORDER

 

Once you have made your choice and your order has been placed, you will receive an email acknowledging the details of your order. This email is NOT an acceptance of your order, just a confirmation that we have received it.

 

Unless you cancel your order, acceptance of your order and completion of the contract between you and Vitamasques will be completed when we email you to confirm the goods have been dispatched. The sale contract is therefore concluded in London, England and the language of the contract is English. Neither our third party payment processor nor our nominated courier has the authority to accept an order on behalf of Vitamasques.

 

We reserve the right not to accept your order in the event, for example, that we are unable to obtain authorization for payment, that shipping restrictions apply to a particular item, that the item ordered is out of stock or does not satisfy our quality control standards and is withdrawn, or that you do not meet the eligibility criteria set out within the T&C.

 

We may also refuse to process and therefore accept a transaction for any reason or refuse service to anyone at any time at our sole discretion. We will not be liable to you or any third party by reason of our withdrawing any merchandise from the Site whether or not that merchandise has been sold, removing, screening or editing any materials or content on the Site, refusing to process a transaction or unwinding or suspending any transaction after processing has begun.

 

Whilst every effort is made to make sure details on our website are accurate, we may from time to time discover an error in the pricing of products. If we discover an error in the pricing of a product in your order, we will let you know as soon as possible. We shall be under no obligation to accept or fulfil an order for a product that was advertised at an incorrect price and reserve the right to cancel such an order that has been accepted or is in transit. If you order a product that is priced incorrectly for any reason, we will email or telephone you to inform you that we have not accepted your order and/or that the relevant part of your order has been cancelled. If you have already paid for the goods, we shall refund the full amount as soon as we are able. In the event that products are recalled in transit, we will process your refund once the products have been returned to us.

 

PAYMENT

 

We accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express cards, and any other methods which may be clearly advertised on the Site from time to time. You can also choose to pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal. 

 

You confirm that the credit/debit card that is being used is yours or that you have been specifically authorised by the owner of the credit/debit card to use it. All credit/debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorization by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorize payment to Vitamasques, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.

 

To help ensure that your shopping experience is safe, simple, and secure, Vitamasques uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

 

Furthermore, we take reasonable care to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorized access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the Site.

 

PROMOTION CODES

 

Promotion codes are non-transferable and there is no cash alternative. Furthermore, they cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotion code or offers, and must be redeemed by the date published, if provided.

 

DELIVERY

 

You will own the goods on and from the later of the point in time when: (a) we receive payment in full, or (b) we deliver the goods to you.

 

Please note that we aim to dispatch all orders within 48 hours, however, during sale or other busy periods orders may take longer to be processed. Delivery times appearing on the site are estimates and are to be used as a guide only and commence from the date of dispatch. 

 

Vitamasques is not responsible for any delays caused by destination customs clearance processes.

 

If delivery is delayed by any event outside of our control, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimize the effect of the delay. Provided we do this, we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to cancel your order and we will give you a refund for any goods you have paid for but not received.

 

RETURNS

 

CANCELLING YOUR ORDER UNDER THE CONSUMER CONTRACTS ( INFORMATION, CANCELLATION AND ADDITIONAL CHARGES) REGULATIONS 2013

 

You have a legal right to cancel your order under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (ICACRs), from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation (the date on which we email you to confirm our acceptance of your order) until the date which is 14 days after you receive the Products. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep a Product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund.

 

Your right to return goods does not apply to goods:

 

  1. made to your specification; or
  2. which have been clearly personalised (such as by being engraved); or

III. which by reason of their nature cannot be returned or are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly; or

  1. where sealed goods have been supplied which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons, if they become unsealed after delivery.

 

To cancel an order, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel, 

by letter to: Vitamasques London, 12 Porchester Place, London, W2 2BS, United Kingdom; or by submitting the contact form. Please provide the details of your order (order date, order #, name of customer, address of customer, and the product you want to return if applicable) in the contact form or letter to help us to identify it.

 

If you cancel your order we will:

 

  1. refund you the price you paid for the Products. However, please note we are permitted by law to make a deduction from your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if the reduction is the result of unnecessary handling by you. (If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.)
  2. refund any delivery costs you have paid, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer.

III. make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within 14 days after the day on which we receive the Products back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Products back to us.

  1. refund you using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction. If you used vouchers to pay for the Products we may refund you in vouchers.

 

If a Product has been dispatched to you or you have received them before you decide to cancel your order then:

 

  1. our Customer Service team will reach out to you after we receive your cancellation notification and help you to arrange a return by providing all the necessary information including the return address.
  2. you must return it to us without undue delay (in the original product packaging if possible) and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the order.

III. please ensure that the items you are returning are unopened and in any original packaging. Unwanted goods need to be in pristine condition with any retail seals unbroken.

  1. any item you have accepted and then returned is your responsibility until it reaches our warehouse. Please package the item securely and ensure that you send your item back to us using a delivery service that insures you for the value of the goods.
  2. when returning goods please obtain a proof of postage (we do not accept responsibility for goods lost in transit) and ensure that the parcel is adequately sealed;
  3. unless the Product is faulty or not as described you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Product to us.

 

If you cancel your order but do not send off such goods to us within 14 working days of notifying us of cancellation, we shall be entitled to withhold payment of any refund.
