Please note that we have no control over any customs or import duties that could be levied when the package reaches your destination country and for which you will be liable. You must pay by debit or credit card at the time of the order. The price of any product is the price listed at the date and time of your order. We may change the price of any product before you place an order.

CANCELLATION AND RETURNS
RETURNS BY YOU
You have the right to return your order within 14 business days of receipt of the goods. If you want to return your order, you need to notify us in writing within those 14 days. Once you have notified us, the cost of merchandise that was debited from your credit or debit card will be re-credited to your account as soon as possible. Shipping costs will not be refunded.
CONDITIONS IN RELATION TO RETURNS
All items intended for return must adhere to our return policy. Once the return eligibility is confirmed, we will then provide the return label and instructions. Once you have received the label and confirmation, please ensure that you follow the instructions emailed to you.
Notification of returns received beyond 14 days will not be accepted. Returns of United States orders will be complimentary. For international orders, you will be required to arrange and pay for the return of the products to us. Please be aware that international customs duties and sales taxes are not refunded for shipments outside of the USA.
International customers will also be responsible for all international customs duties levied, even if the item you received is defective.
We will only accept returns provided that the goods in question are returned by you and received by us in the condition they were in when delivered to you. If you do not return the goods delivered to you or do not pay the costs of delivery, we shall be entitled to deduct the direct costs of recovering the goods from the amount to be re-credited to you.
You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the items while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, your entitlement to a refund may be affected. Do not remove tags until you are completely satisfied that the items will not be subject to return. Items must be returned with their original packaging, including, in the case of shoes, original boxes. Unless a perfume is defective, it may not be returned unless it is in new, unopened condition with all original packaging intact.
Personalized items or goods which have been made to a customer's specification may not be returned.
For reasons of hygiene we do not accept the return of any beauty product or fragrance, pierced earrings, ladies' and men's briefs, or swimming suits and bikini bottoms, unless the protective adhesive strip is still in place or the item is unsoiled and in a saleable condition.
DEFECTIVE GOODS
Defective items will only be accepted if the goods we have delivered to you were damaged on arrival. All items returned as defective will be inspected and any items deemed subject to fair wear and tear will not be accepted as defective. Where possible, items may be repaired on request, but only where such items are deemed defective and repairable. Repairs do not come with any guarantees.
We will replace a defective item if a replacement is in stock and available. If you wish to be sent a replacement or request an exchange, please make your request clear when contacting us. As stated above, the request must be submitted to us within 14 days of receipt of your merchandise.
If we are unable to offer you a replacement, we will refund the value of the item at the time of purchase. International clients will be responsible for all duties levied upon shipping, even if an item is deemed defective. Please note that refunds onto credit cards can take up to 30 days and are subject to your bank’s refund regulations.
LINKS TO OTHER SITES
You may be able to link from the Site to other web sites owned by third parties. Your use of each of those sites is subject to the conditions, if any, that each of those sites have posted. We have no control over sites that are not ours and we are not responsible for the content, accuracy or opinions expressed in such web sites, and such web sites are not investigated, monitored or checked for accuracy or completeness by us. Inclusion of any linked web site on or through the Site does not imply approval or endorsement of the linked web site by us. If you decide to leave the Site and access these third-party sites, you do so at your own risk.
USE OF SITE CONTENT
All content on the Site is the property of DSM or its licensors who have all right, title and interest in the content, including but not limited to any copyrights, trademark rights, patent rights, database rights, moral rights, sui generis rights and other intellectual property and proprietary rights therein. Use of the Site does not grant to you ownership of any content, code, data or materials you may access on the Site. Subject to these Terms, no content may be modified, copied, distributed, framed, reproduced, republished, downloaded, displayed, posted, transmitted, or sold in any form or by any means, in whole or in part, without the prior written permission of the DSM or the owner of the content. Except as otherwise set forth in the Terms, any use of the content is strictly prohibited.
TRADEMARKS
The trademarks, logos, trade dress, trade names and service marks displayed on the Site (collectively the "Trademarks"), whether registered or unregistered, may not be copied, imitated or used, in whole or in part, in connection with products and/or services that are not related to, associated with, or sponsored by DSM that are likely to cause customer confusion, or in any manner that disparages or discredits the rights holders, who may or may not be affiliated with, connected to, or sponsored by DSM. Nothing contained on the Site should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use any Trademark displayed on the Site without the written permission of the DSM or the third party that may own the applicable Trademark. Your misuse of the Trademarks displayed on the Site is strictly prohibited. DSM will aggressively enforce its Trademark rights to the fullest extent of the law, including seeking criminal prosecution.
APPLICABLE LAW
By visiting the Site, you agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Conditions of Use and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and DSM.
DISPUTES
Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your visit to the Site or to products or services sold or distributed by DSM or through the Site will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in a small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award, on an individual basis, the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow these Terms as a court would.
The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in New York, New York under its rules, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules.
We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Site or the Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
JURISDICTION
The New York Courts (State and Federal) shall have sole jurisdiction over any controversies regarding the use of the Site not subject to the arbitration clause above; Any action or other proceeding which involves such a controversy shall be brought in those courts in New York, New York and not elsewhere. The parties waive any and all objections to venue in those courts and hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts.
