Article 1: General provisions 

 The e-commerce website of Skin Secrets, with registered office at 9990 Maldegem, Bezembindersstraat 8, offers its customers the opportunity to purchase the products from its web shop online. 

These Terms and Conditions ("Conditions") apply to every order placed by a visitor to this e-commerce website ("Customer"). When placing an order via the Skin Secrets webshop, the Customer must expressly accept these Terms and Conditions, thereby agreeing to their applicability to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions. Additional terms and conditions of the Customer are excluded, except when previously, in writing and expressly accepted by Skin Secrets. 

Article 2: Price

All prices stated are expressed in EURO, always including mandatory taxes or duties to be borne by the Customer. 

If delivery, reservation or administrative costs are charged, this will be stated separately. 

The indication of price refers exclusively to the articles as described verbatim. The accompanying photos are for decorative purposes and may contain elements not included in the price. 

Offers and prices are indicated in euros and are valid only on the date the order is placed. They may be changed at any time, without prior notice. 

Rate reductions or other promotional offers indicated on the packaging of the products ordered are already included in our sales prices listed on our website. 

Only the price indicated on the site is valid between the contracting parties. The prices indicated at the end of the ordering process indicate the total prices, including all taxes, as well as delivery and any other costs. 

Article 3: Offer 

Despite the fact that the online catalogue and the e-commerce website are compiled with the greatest possible care, it is still possible that the information offered is incomplete, contains material errors, or is not up-to-date. Obvious mistakes or errors in the offer do not bind Skin Secrets. 

If the Customer has specific questions about e.g. availability, delivery time or delivery method, we request the Customer to contact us in advance.

The offer is always valid while stocks last and may be modified or withdrawn by Skin Secrets at any time. Skin Secrets cannot be held liable for the unavailability of a product. If an offer has a limited period of validity or is made subject to conditions, this will be explicitly stated in the offer. 

Article 4: Online purchases 

Each order placed on the Site follows several steps: each step is completed successively by the "click" of a confirmation icon. 

The ordering process follows a logical and transparent path that you can see thanks to a layout and graphic design provided for this purpose. 

When you click on an icon whose designation or presentation entails a commitment that any Internet user can understand, you are bound by your click. This is the case, for example, for icons named "Place order", "Payment" or similar designations. 

The ordering process gives the opportunity to correct errors.

The ordering process allows you to easily understand which payment methods are accepted, which delivery methods are proposed and their costs. 

By clicking on the "Pay" button, you place a firm order of the items in your shopping cart. Confirmation of receipt of the order occurs immediately upon receipt of the order. This confirmation of receipt of the order does not constitute a binding acceptance of the order. 

The Customer has the choice between the following payment methods 

  • by bank card 
  • via banking app

Skin Secrets is entitled to refuse an order due to a serious shortcoming of the Customer in relation to orders involving the Customer.
