The terms of use govern exclusively the sale of products that are available in our catalog SOINS 2 BEAUTE. They are systematically available in the catalog by the buyer.
As a result, making an order implies that the buyer is fully aware and without reservation of the terms of use, even if a signed contract is not involved. The signature and finalization of the order serve as the validation and proof of the payment due for the aforementioned order. All other conditions laid down by the buyer will therefore be, in case we didn’t get your final agreement, non-invocable to the seller at any moment. If the seller does not prevail at any given moment of these terms of use, this cannot be interpreted as a viable renunciation to the subsequent claim of one of these conditions.
These terms of use are only for people that are buying products that are not involved with business purposes. Products bought under these terms of use are used only for the personal-use of the buyer, with no direct connection to their profession. Furthermore, the same buyer may not order more than 10 of the same product each month. In the case that a buyer orders more than the aforementioned limit, the order will not be accepted.
The rules enforced by these terms of use are French law.
Any person that wishes to buy products from the catalog must be at full legal capacity to purchase products.
