The company EPQ (hereinafter referred to as the "Seller") sells perfume products (hereinafter referred to as the "Products" or the "Product") presented on its website only at retail and for strictly personal use, to end consumers (hereinafter referred to as the "Consumers" or the "Consumer").

For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, it is agreed that the Consumer and EPQ will be collectively referred to as the "Parties" and individually referred to as the "Party".

By placing an order for a Product on the Site, the Consumer acknowledges having read these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and having accepted them without restriction. This acceptance is in no way conditioned by a handwritten signature from the Consumer.

It is specified that the Consumer may save or print these General Terms and Conditions of Sale, provided that they are not modified. The Seller reserves the right to update its General Terms and Conditions of Sale at any time, it being specified that the General Terms and Conditions of Sale applicable shall be those in force at the date of the order.

The Consumer acknowledges that the translation of the online shop into Arabic is only offered for his convenience and that the language chosen by the Consumer may be different from the language used by the Seller, which depends in particular on the location of the delivery address indicated by the Consumer.

Consumers' access to the Site is also governed by General Conditions of Use of the Site, which they accept without reservation.

ARTICLE 1: PURPOSE

The purpose of these general terms and conditions of sale (hereinafter referred to as the "GTC") is to define the terms and conditions of online sale by the Seller of Products to the Consumer, as well as the rights and obligations of the Parties arising from the online sale of products offered on the Site (hereinafter referred to as the "Product(s)").

They determine all the steps necessary for the placing of the order and ensure the follow-up of this order between the Parties and apply, without restriction or reserve, to all the Products offered by the Seller on its Site.

 

ARTICLE 2: THE PRODUCTS

2.1 Description of the Products

The Products offered for sale by the Seller are those listed on the Site on the day of its consultation by the Consumer of the Site, and within the limits of available stocks.

EPQ reserves the right to withdraw the Products from sale at any time.

EPQ presents on the Site the Products for sale as well as their detailed descriptions in product sheets. The Products are described with the greatest possible care and accuracy. Nevertheless, the photographs and/or visuals on the Site are only indicative and are not contractual.

For any question relating to a Product or its use, it is therefore recommended to contact the Seller's customer service department, using the contact details provided in the following articles.

The Products comply with the French legislation in force. The Seller shall not be held liable in the event of non-compliance with the legislation of the country to which the Product is to be delivered. It is therefore up to the Consumer to check with the local authorities the possibilities of importing and/or using the Products he/she intends to order.

The Products are presented within the limits of available stocks and the Seller cannot guarantee the availability of the Products advertised on the Site.

At any time, EPQ reserves the right to modify or discontinue the sale of Products offered on the Site. However, such modifications shall not affect orders accepted by EPQ prior to the entry into force of such modifications.

In any case, in the event of total or partial unavailability of the Products after the order has been placed, the Consumer will be informed as soon as possible, by any means, of the unavailability of the Product and of the total or partial cancellation of the order.

In case of total cancellation  :

·   The Consumer's order will be automatically cancelled and his bank account will not be debited;

·   The Consumer will be informed by any means.

In case of partial cancellation  :

·   The Consumer's order will only be partially validated and his bank account will only be debited with the amounts corresponding to the available Products:

·   The rest of the order will be cancelled;

·   The Consumer will be delivered the available products.

In any case, if the Consumer's order was eligible for free delivery, the fact that the minimum rate is no longer reached does not deprive the Consumer of this free delivery.

ARTICLE 3 : PRICES

3.1 All prices are indicated in Qatari Riyals (QAR). The applicable prices are those indicated on the Site at the time the Consumer places his/her order. These costs are inclusive of all taxes, with the exception of the costs and duties related to transport, which will be invoiced in addition.

3.2 At any time, EPQ reserves the right to change its prices, without any further formality other than posting the modifications on the Site. However, such changes will not affect orders accepted by EPQ before the changes come into effect, subject to the availability of the Products ordered.

3.3  These prices do not include shipping costs, which are invoiced to the Consumer in addition to the price of the Products purchased. The shipping costs will be indicated before the Consumer places the order.

Furthermore, the prices announced on the Site do not take into account customs duties and other costs that may be associated with the import of the Products.

EPQ therefore advises Consumers to contact the local authorities to obtain, in addition, import taxes and duties.

The various shipping methods are set out in Article 6 below and are recalled on the Site; they may be modified at any time by EPQ. The Seller therefore advises Consumers to regularly consult the GTC available on the Site.

ARTICLE 4: ORDERING

4.1 How to order

By browsing the Site, the Consumer has the possibility to be aware of the Products offered for sale on the day of the consultation of the Site. Browsing the various pages of the Site does not commit the Consumer to an order.

During his navigation, the Consumer wishing to place an order will be able to do so by respecting the following stages:

·   Fill your virtual basket by clicking on the "Buy" icon, which appears next to each product viewed.

As soon as this operation has been carried out, the Consumer will see a message validating the addition of the item "Product successfully added to the basket", and the number of items in the basket will be displayed at the top right of the screen.

·   Continue your visit by clicking on "Continue shopping" or click on "Order" to see the items in your order displayed on the screen, including the total amount (without shipping costs), the type of products ordered and their quantity.

The Consumer may return to this order, complete it, modify it, or cancel it as long as it has not been validated.

A new web page will then open inviting the Consumer to :

i)   login with email and password to order using your customer account or

ii)   order by creating a customer account.

The Consumer will then have to communicate his/her contact details, by informing with exactitude the form placed at his disposal. In particular, he/she undertakes to indicate an address to which the delivery can be made during working hours, as well as his/her surname(s) and e-mail address.

For any order delivered outside the European Union, the price will necessarily be exclusive of tax.

The Consumer may refer to EPQ's "Privacy Policy" for more details on how EPQ collects and processes personal data

- Either to click on the "Confirm order" button in order to proceed with the payment of his/her order, in accordance with the provisions of article 4 of these GTC;

In accordance with Article L121-11 of the French Consumer Code, EPQ reserves the right to refuse or cancel, for legitimate reasons, any order for which the number of products or the amount to be paid (for a single order or for several orders combined) does not correspond to the usual average use of a household, any order which suggests that an economic activity is being carried out by the purchaser in relation to the products ordered, or, more generally, any order which is anormal in the sense of the case law applicable in this area.

EPQ may not be held responsible in the event of the Site being unavailable at the time of the order, for any reason whatsoever.

If the Consumer fails to reply within fifteen (15) days of EPQ
sending the request or for any other legitimate reason, the order will be automatically cancelled and EPQ will proceed as soon as possible to reimburse the Consumer to the bank account debited at the time of the order.

The Products ordered by the Consumer will be delivered to the postal address given by the Consumer when ordering online, by the Postal Services or by private carriers.

The Consumer may follow the progress of his delivery on the Site, by clicking on his customer account.

As delivery is carried out by a third party service provider, EPQ cannot be held responsible in any way if the non-performance or poor performance of this obligation is attributable to the Consumer, to the unforeseeable or insurmountable act of a third party to the contract or to a case of force majeure.

The Consumer shall also bear the consequences (delay in delivery, impossibility of delivery, return of the Products to EPQ, additional transport costs) resulting, where applicable, from the erroneous and/or incomplete nature of the information provided by the Consumer for delivery and/or the absence of the Consumer at the time of delivery.

6.3. Delay in delivery

If the maximum delivery time of two (2) days is exceeded and if the Product(s) ordered have not yet been shipped, and if this is not due to a case of force majeure, the Consumer may cancel the order by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt sent to the following address:

From the date of receipt of the Consumer's letter and if delivery has not taken place in the meantime, EPQ will reimburse the bank account debited at the time of the order, as soon as possible, to the exclusion of any other compensation.

In the event of partial delivery, the delivery could be carried out in several times, and the Consumer will be able to cancel his order only for the undelivered balance.

Any delay in delivery must be reported as soon as possible by the Consumer by e-mail to contact@exclusiveperfumes.qa, so that EPQ can carry out an investigation with the postal services or the carrier. The Consumer must be informed that the time taken to carry out an enquiry is random, as EPQ has no control over its execution. If during this investigation the parcel is found, it will be immediately redirected to the place of delivery designated in the Consumer's order.

Nevertheless, if at the end of this investigation it is confirmed that the package containing the Product(s) has been lost, EPQ will, at its own expense, reship the Product(s) to the Consumer or, in the event of definitive unavailability, reimburse the Consumer for the sums received, to the bank account debited at the time of the order, in accordance with the terms of these general conditions of sale.

6.4. Delivery made

Each delivery is deemed to have been made as soon as the Product(s) are made available to the Consumer by the carrier, as evidenced by the control system used by the carrier, such as the delivery tracking system.

In accordance with the applicable provisions of the Consumer Code, the Consumer will receive, at the time of delivery, an invoice detailing the price of the products ordered and, where applicable, the delivery costs charged to him/her, as well as a return form enabling him/her to exercise his/her right of withdrawal and obtain reimbursement of the products or to exchange them.

Any claim made after this period or without respecting the required form will be rejected and EPQ will be released from all responsibility.

The Consumer must also ensure that the products delivered to him correspond to the order placed by him on the Site. In the event of non-conformity, the Consumer must inform EPQ at the above address, and return the products to the address indicated and under the conditions set out in Article 7.
