The use by customers of services of the women'secret online store implies that they have read, understood and agree to the General Terms and Conditions of Sale included in the version published by women'secret at the time the order for items is placed. It is therefore advisable that customers read these General Terms and Conditions before making a purchase.
Scope of the contract
These General Terms and Conditions of Sale are applicable to all women'secret items sold on its website to consumers to whom orders may be delivered within Europe (Euro Zone only). Cortefiel hereby informs users that its website targets customers aged 16 or over only.
Cortefiel reserves the right to restrict users’ access to their account if it detects any fraudulent or speculative act or acts of bad faith committed when using this service.
Restrictions on purchases
For security reasons, orders totalling more than €1,500 or that include more than 40 items are not accepted.
Prices
The applicable prices are those stated on the website on the date the order is placed. The prices given for each item are inclusive of VAT (Value Added Tax). Customers will be given a breakdown of the shipping costs when placing their order. Cortefiel S.A. reserves the right to make any modifications it considers necessary to the products and prices, even on a daily basis, in accordance with changing circumstances at any time and without prior notice.
In the case of goods shipped to the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla, customers must pay the corresponding customs tariffs, which vary according to the package weight. The same also applies to Switzerland and Norway, in which case customs duties will vary in accordance with the total value of the order.
Payment
Payment may be made by Visa®, MasterCard® or American Express® credit cards, or 4B or 4B Maestro debit cards, whereby the amount will be automatically debited from the corresponding account, and the PayPal system. In all cases, the choice of payment method must be made at the appropriate stage of the purchasing process.
Customers must notify Cortefiel of any incorrect or fraudulent charge on the card used for purchase, either by e-mail or telephone, at the earliest possible opportunity, thereby allowing Cortefiel to take any necessary action.
Payment service providers may also adopt anti-fraud measures that do not permit certain types of operations or transactions. Cortefiel holds no responsibility for the application of this type of security policies.
Product availability
All orders are subject to product availability. In the event of any supply incidents or if stock runs out, customers will be informed and given a full refund of any amounts paid.
Delivery
Items will be delivered to the address specified by the customer, which may differ from their home address. Items may be delivered to their work address or to a third party address as a gift. In either case, written proof of identity shall be required by means of an official document and signature of the delivery slip. The delivery date indicated on the Website is for indicative purposes only. However, womensecret shall make all reasonable efforts to comply with this date, although it shall not be liable for any possible delays to the initial estimated delivery date.
In the case of items shipped to the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla, customers are liable for the customs duties applicable on receipt of the order. These costs vary according to weight, but are usually around €20. The same applies for items shipped to Switzerland and Norway: in this case costs represent approximately 7.5% of the total order. If the customer does not collect the order from customs, they will be liable for any expenses incurred through returning the order to Cortefiel's warehouses in Aranjuez, Madrid. These expenses will be deducted from the purchase refund.
