You are at least 18 years old;

You are resident in one of our serviced countries; and

You are accessing our Websites from one of our serviced countries.

HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US

After placing an order using our Websites, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order.  This does not mean that your order has been accepted.  Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a product or products.  All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you a further e-mail, which confirms that the product has been dispatched (Dispatch Confirmation).  The Contract will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.

The Contract will relate only to those products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation.  We will not be obliged to supply any other products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.

We will inform you if we decline all or any part of your order. If we do so, no Contract will be formed between us in relation to and we will not charge you for the items we have declined to supply.  We may do this for various reasons including, for example, because a product you have ordered is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of a product you have ordered or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

If we notice something unusual in an order or an account, we may need to refuse or cancel an order or close or freeze an account even though we have previously confirmed such order.  Please contact us straight away if this happens to you and you think we have made a mistake.

 

OUR PRODUCTS

The images of products on our Websites are for illustrative purposes only.  Although we try to display the colors of our products accurately, we cannot guarantee you will see those colors with complete accuracy on any particular device in any given situation so you may find some difference between the product you receive and its appearance on yours or any other device’s display.

Product packaging may vary from that shown in images on our Websites or from packaging used when you ordered from us previously.

The occurrence of differences and discrepancies of the kind mentioned in …….

OUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES

We may change our products to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements and to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements.

In addition, we may make other and potentially significant changes to our products, but if we do so in relation to anything you have ordered, then we will notify you to give the chance to end the Contract before the changes take effect and to receive a refund for any affected products you have paid for but not yet received.  The refund will be paid to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 14 days of your cancelling the Contract.

DELIVERY

Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Despatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 30 days after we send our Despatch Confirmation.

We may deliver products in separate deliveries.  Each separate delivery will be invoiced and paid for in accordance with the Contract.  Each delivery will constitute a separate Contract.

If you fail to take delivery of the products and they are returned to us, you will be charged an administration fee.  We may also end the Contract.

If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our reasonable control, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimize the effect of the delay.  Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the Contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.  We will keep you updated as much as we can in these circumstances.

RISK AND TITLE

The products will be your responsibility from the time we deliver them to the address you give us.

Ownership of the products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the products, including delivery charges.

PRICE AND PAYMENT

The prices displayed on our Websites include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due.

Our Websites feature many products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products listed on our Websites may be incorrectly priced.  We will normally verify prices as part of our despatch procedures so that, where a product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge you the lower amount.  If the product's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order to give you the opportunity to cancel.

If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognized by you as a mispricing, we may end the Contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you. In these circumstances, we are under no obligation to provide the product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Despatch Confirmation.

If we discover a pricing error and we cannot make contact with you, we will treat the order as cancelled.

Payment for all products must be by credit card, debit card, Amazon Pay or PayPal.  We accept payment with Visa Debit, Visa Credit, Mastercard.  You must pay for products before we dispatch them.  We will charge your credit or debit card when you place an order with us.

You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of products that are sealed for hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you received them pierced jewellery if the seal has been tampered with or is broken.

HOW TO END THE CONTRACT WITH US (INCLUDING IF YOU HAVE CHANGED YOUR MIND)

To cancel a Contract, please inform us in writing via email at help@theesmei.com with CANCELLATION in the email title before the cancellation period has expired.  Your cancellation will be effective from the date of your cancellation email.

If you end the Contract for any reason after products have been despatched to you or you have received them, you must return them to us.  To start a return or to find out more about the different return options available to you, please RETURN YOUR ORDER.  If you are exercising your right to change your mind, you must send off the goods within 14 days of telling us you wish to end the Contract.

Any returned products you return should be sent in their original condition and packaging where possible (with original tags, labels and hygiene strip in place).  You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the products while they are in your possession.  We would advise that you keep evidence of returning the products to us in case they are lost.  We will not refund your payment without either receiving the returned products or evidence to our reasonable satisfaction of their return.

We may reduce your refund of the price to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods (up to the full price). If this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop.  For example:

where possible, all returned items should be sent back to us in their original condition together with the original packaging and all tags;

footwear should only be tried on carpeted floors to protect the soles; and

footwear should be returned with the original box (if any) and any original shoe or dust bags (if any).

When trying on products, you must not use unnecessary force and you must not wear make-up, perfume, cologne, deodorant or antiperspirant as these can mark and leave scents on the products.

If an item is returned to us worn, damaged or in an unsaleable condition, or where the above instructions have not been followed, we won’t be able to give you a refund and we may have to send it back to you and ask you to cover the delivery costs.  Alternatively, we (at our sole discretion) may choose to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of an item.

If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way or if they have been worn, used, damaged or are in an unsaleable condition, you must pay us an appropriate amount which we will determine at our discretion.
