SECTION 2 - CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT
Any and all offers submitted by HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® are subject to confirmation. HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® products are natural products; changes in shape, colour and/or weight as a consequence of natural characteristics of the products do not represent defects and must be regarded as reasonable and acceptable.
By placing an order for goods, the Orderer declares his binding intention to purchase the ordered goods, subject to the above terms and conditions of HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ®. HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® is entitled to accept the offer of a contract inherent in the order within two weeks after its receipt. Acceptance may be declared either in writing or by delivery of the goods to the Orderer. If the Orderer places his order for goods electronically, HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® will confirm the order immediately. The receipt confirmation does not represent a binding acceptance of the order. The receipt confirmation may be coupled with a statement of acceptance.
The conclusion of the contract is subject to correct and due time delivery to us by our supplier. The above provision applies only in the event that HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® is not responsible for the failure to deliver, in particular in the event of conclusion of a congruent hedging transaction concluded by HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® with a supplier. Orderers will be notified immediately if we are unable to provide the service. Any consideration, which has already been paid will of course be reimbursed to the Orderer immediately. If the Orderer has placed his order for goods electronically, HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® will save the text of the contract and, upon request, send it and these General Terms and Conditions to the customer by e-mail.
SECTION 3 - DELIVERY/DELIVERY PERIODS
Any delivery dates or delivery periods, whether agreed as binding or non-binding, must be stated in writing. We hope you will understand that any and all delivery dates and/or periods are generally non-binding, unless a period or date has been expressly designated and agreed as binding.
In the event of a mail order purchase, we will strive to deliver goods which can be sent by post within 10 workdays after placement of the order. When bulk goods are dispatched, the shipping agent or the supplier HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® has instructed to make delivery will contact the Orderer for arrangement of a delivery date. If no definite delivery date or delivery period has been agreed, HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® will regard 30 workdays as a reasonable period for performance/delivery of the goods
SECTION 4 - PRICES/TERMS OF PAYMENT
Unless otherwise stated in the offer or the order confirmation, we show all prices as "ex registered office of HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® “. Statutory value-added tax is included in the prices given by HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® and will be shown separately on the invoice in the amount applicable on the day of issue of the invoice. All prices and rebate information shown by HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® on the Internet, in brochures or other advertising materials are given errors excepted. Any and all offers submitted by HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® are subject to confirmation. Any and all agreements should on general principle be made in writing.
If goods are delivered to countries outside of the European Union, the Orderer is responsible for payment of any import turnover tax or customs duties specific to the country. Unless otherwise agreed, payment for the ordered goods is due and payable upon initial process of the order. The goods must be paid for by the Orderer by direct bank debit or transfer immediately and at no cost to us; we are not obligated to ship the ordered goods until payment has been received. If, in exceptional cases, we dispatch goods before receipt of payment, the goods remain our property until full payment has been effected.
If the Orderer is in default of payment, default interest at the legal rate, namely at this time 5% above the base rate for Consumers and 8% above the base rate for commercial Customers, will be charged. HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® reserves the right to claim compensation for greater losses resulting from the default. The Orderer has the right to set off his own counter-claims only if and when said claims have been recognized by declaratory judgment, are undisputed or have been acknowledged by us. The Orderer is entitled to exercise a right of retention only if and when his counter-claim arises from the same contractual relationship.
SECTION 5 - TRANSFER OF RICK
The risk of accidental loss or of accidental deterioration of the goods is transferred to the purchaser upon the handover of the goods. Purchaser's default of acceptance is the equivalent of handover of the goods. If HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ®, at the Orderer's request, sends the goods to a city other than the registered office of HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ®, the risk is transferred to the Orderer as soon as HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® has handed the goods over to the shipping agent, the freight carrier or other person or agency designated for performance of the shipment.
SECTION 6 - WARRANTY
HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® is obligated to supply the goods free of material and legal defects to the Orderer. We offer a 30 Day Guarantee on all products. The goods must be free of material defects at the point in time of the transfer of risk for the goods to the Orderer. Goods sold by HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® are natural products; changes in shape, colour and/or weight as a consequence of natural characteristics of the products do not represent defects and must be regarded as reasonable and acceptable. HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® will not reimburse payments confiscated by the customs but may refund payment for items that are shipped back in its original untampered and undamaged state, minus shipping cost. Money back guarantee covers solely and only damaged, material defects, opened and/or tampered goods upon arrival to the customer. The customer has 14 days to contact HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® with a written reclamation.
HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® does not offer money-back guarantee or product exchanges on products that have been opened, tampered or used.
If a material defect occurs, the Orderer's warranty claims are initially limited to the right of subsequent performance. If the Orderer is a businessman, HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® will initially, at its discretion, remedy defects in the goods by subsequent improvement or substitute delivery. If the purchaser is a Consumer, he initially may choose between subsequent performance in the form of subsequent improvement or substitute delivery. If the Orderer is a commercial Customer and not a Consumer, the aforementioned option may be exercised solely and exclusively by HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ®.
The subsequent performance requested by the Orderer or offered by HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® must be carried out within a reasonable period; 20 workdays will generally be regarded as a reasonable period for the subsequent improvement. However, HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® is entitled to refuse the type of subsequent performance chosen if its performance would result in unreasonable costs for HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® and the other type of subsequent performance would not entail major disadvantages for the Orderer.
HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® does not offer money-back guarantee if the product does not work for customer as described.
Even if we are highly positive about the product's effectivity and safetiness, we cannot offer a money-back guarantee since there are parameters that can be a reason for the product not to work and we have no control over that. An example would be a user who exposes him or herself to the sun very often or a user who is not taking the right dosage or applying the product as advised. It would be hard for both parties to prove whether the product did really work or not. There is no exact science to measure whether the product will work, has worked and will not work for every customer. (Results vary from customer to customer). Money-back guarantee does not cover shipping fee. Buyer should send back the item(s) first (at their cost) in its original packaging before payment can be credited back, less shipping cost. If buyer has more than 1 item, the second and all other remaining items should also be sealed. Individuals with very dark skin tones may take longer to see results. Every skin needs special treatment. For those who are unsure which product is best for his or her skin type, it is recommended that you consult with your dermatologist before purchasing. The compatibility of the product to your skin type will determine whether or not it will be effective or safe for you. Skin care is always about finding your perfect match.
Results will vary depending on your skin type, skin tone, skin condition and the amount of sun exposure you receive on a daily basis. Please “Do not expect a beauty miracle”, every goal has its process and in this case its also takes time to achieve a lighter skin tone. Initial goals should not be skin lightening immediately, although the initial change can be smoothening of the skin or if you suffer from acne, it will gradually clear up in a matter of weeks. For very dark tones it could take longer to see results. The ingredients need time to absorb into your body for providing the results in which indicated on each product description. Why is it that some customers see results early and others take longer before they see results? For the simple reason that people have different metabolism, weight is also a factor, the fact that some people see results early is because their bodies have absorbed the components well. Finally, proper use and dosage is a very important factor.
The Orderer does not have any right to cancel the contract in cases of only minor breach of contract, in particular in cases of only slight defects. If the customer elects to cancel the contract due to a legal or material defect, the Orderer must notify HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® in writing, attaching the invoice or receipt, of obvious defects within a period 14 days of the handover of the goods. Commercial Orderers must submit the complaint immediately in accordance with the provisions of HGB (Commercial Code). HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® receipt of the notification is decisive for determining observance of the time period. If the Orderer fails to submit the notification, warranty rights do not apply. The Orderer bears the burden of proof for the point in time at which the defect is determined.
The warranty period is 30 days as of the handover of the goods. The warranty does not apply if the customer has not notified HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® of an obvious defect in due time. Please note, however that the HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® products are natural products and that these products, by their nature, have a limited storage life. The Orderer must therefore store the products according to the instructions included in the packaging and keep them as dry and cool as possible. Guarantees are on principle limited to the guarantees given by HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ®.

HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® is liable to commercial Orderers in cases of breach of minor contractual obligations due to slight negligence.
The aforementioned limitations of liability do not apply to Orderer's claims arising from product liability. The limitations of liability also do not apply to cases of injury to body or health or of loss of the Orderer's life for which HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® is not accountable. Orderer's damage compensation claims due to a defect are time-barred one year after handover of the goods. The above provision does not apply to the extent that HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® is unexpectedly culpable of fraudulent intent or gross negligence or in cases of injury to body or health or of the loss of the Orderer's life, to the extent that HOLLYWOOD ESSENTIALS ® is accountable for said cases.
