If there are difficulties in supplying products or no products are in stock, The Wedding Scent agrees to contact the User and reimburse any amount that may have been paid as payment. This will also apply in cases where the provision of a service becomes impossible.

5. PRICES AND PAYMENT

The prices displayed on the Website are final, in Euros (€), and include taxes, unless legally required, especially with regard to VAT, in which case a different issue will be indicated and applied. Shipping costs are not included in the final prices of the products as shown on the Website. Thus, The Wedding Scent carries out delivery and/or shipping services through DHL, and shipping costs will be added before completing the purchase. The Website will not automatically add additional costs to the price of a product or service, only those that the User has voluntarily and freely selected and chosen. Prices may change at any time, but any possible changes will not affect orders or purchases with respect to which the User has already received an order confirmation.

The accepted payment methods will be: credit or debit card, Paypax or Klarna.

6. DELIVERY

In cases where physical delivery of the contracted goods is required, deliveries will be made in the following territory: Spain (Peninsula and Balearic Islands), and outside Spain. Except in cases of unforeseen or extraordinary circumstances, or in the case of product customization, the purchase order consisting of the products listed in each purchase confirmation will be delivered within the period indicated on the Website, according to the shipping method selected by the User and, in any case, within a maximum period of 60 natural days from the date of the order confirmation.

If for any reason, for which it is responsible, The Wedding Scent cannot meet the delivery date, it will contact the User to inform them of this circumstance, and they may choose to proceed with the purchase by establishing a new delivery date or cancel the order with a full refund of the price paid. In any case, home deliveries are made on business days.

If it is impossible to deliver the order due to the User’s absence, the order may be returned to the warehouse. However, the carrier will leave a notice explaining where the order is and how to arrange for it to be delivered again. If the User will not be at the delivery location during the agreed time slot, they must contact The Wedding Scent to arrange for delivery on another day. If 30 days have elapsed since the order is available for delivery, and it has not been delivered due to a reason not attributable to The Wedding Scent, The Wedding Scent will understand that the User wishes to withdraw from the contract, and it will be considered terminated. As a result of the termination of the contract, all payments received from the User will not be refunded.

If there is a return by the user, they must bear in mind that the transport resulting from the resolution may have an additional cost that may be passed on to them. For the purposes of these Conditions, it shall be understood that delivery has occurred or that the order has been delivered at the moment when the User or a third party indicated by the User acquires physical possession of the products, which shall be evidenced by the signature of the receipt of the order at the agreed delivery address.

The risks arising from the products shall be borne by the User from the moment of delivery. The User acquires ownership of the products when The Wedding Scent receives full payment of all amounts due in relation to the purchase or acquisition made, including shipping costs, or at the time of delivery, if this takes place at a later time than the complete receipt of the payment amount by The Wedding Scent.

In accordance with the provisions of Law 37/1992, of December 28, on Value Added Tax (VAT), purchase orders for delivery and/or provision shall be deemed to be located in the territory of application of Spanish VAT if the delivery address is in Spanish territory, except for the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla.

8. RETURNS

In cases where the User purchases products on or through the Website of the owner, they have certain rights, as listed and described below:

Right of Withdrawal

As a consumer, the User makes a purchase on the Website and, therefore, has the right to withdraw from such purchase within a period of 14 natural days without the need for justification.

This withdrawal period will expire 15 natural days from the day the User or a third party authorized by him, other than the carrier, acquired physical possession of the goods purchased on The Wedding Scent Website. In the case of goods that comprise separate deliveries, the withdrawal period will expire 15 natural days from the day the User or a third party authorized by him, other than the carrier, acquired physical possession of the last of those goods that made up the same purchase order, or in the case of a service contract, 15 natural days from the day the contract was concluded.

To exercise this right of withdrawal, the User must notify his decision to The Wedding Scent. He may do so, if applicable, through the email address hello@theweddingscent.com.

The User, regardless of the means chosen to communicate his decision, must express clearly and unequivocally his intention to withdraw from the purchase contract. In any case, the User may use the withdrawal form template. To fill out this form, the user must send an email to hello@theweddingscent.com. To comply with the withdrawal period, it is sufficient that the communication that unequivocally expresses the decision to withdraw is sent before the corresponding deadline expires.

In the event of withdrawal, The Wedding Scent will reimburse the User for all payments received, including shipping costs (with the exception of additional costs chosen by the User for a different shipping method than the least expensive one offered on the Website), without undue delay and, in any case, no later than 14 natural days from the date on which The Wedding Scent is informed of the User’s decision to withdraw.

The Wedding Scent will reimburse the User using the same payment method used by him for the initial purchase transaction. It is possible to return the product within the first 15 days from its receipt, provided that it has not been manipulated and all products are in perfect condition. To do so, an email must be sent to hello@theweddingscent.es with the order number and the reason for the return, and the indicated instructions must be followed.

The order will be returned in full, and returns of individual products are not accepted. The customer bears the return costs. The User may return or send the products to The Wedding Scent at c/ Laraña, 6, 3C – 41003 Sevilla, without undue delay and, in any case, no later than 7 natural days from the date on which The Wedding Scent was informed of the User’s decision to withdraw.

The User acknowledges that he must bear the direct cost of returning the goods (transport, delivery), if any. In addition, he will be responsible for any decrease in the value of the products resulting from any handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and operation of the goods.

The User acknowledges that there are exceptions to the right of withdrawal, as set out in Article 103 of Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007, of November 16, which approves the revised text of the General Law for the Defense of Consumers and Users and other complementary laws. Among others, this would be the case of personalized products, products that may deteriorate or expire quickly. In their return, the products must not have been used or manipulated, and all products must be in perfect condition.

In the same sense, the provision of a service that the User may contract on this Website is governed, since the same Law establishes that the Right of Withdrawal will not apply to Users when the provision of the service has been completely executed, or when it has started, with the express consent of the consumer and user and with their recognition that, once the contract has been completely executed by The Wedding Scent, they will have lost their right of withdrawal. In any case, no refund will be made if the product has been used, if the products are not in the same conditions in which they were delivered or if they have suffered any damage after delivery.

Likewise, products must be returned using or including all their original packaging, instructions, and other documents that may accompany them, as well as a copy of the purchase invoice.

Return of detective products or shipping errors

This refers to all cases in which the User considers that, at the time of delivery, the product does not comply with what is stipulated in the contract or purchase order, and therefore, they must contact The Wedding Scent immediately and inform them of the existing non-compliance (defect/error) through the same means or using the contact information provided in the previous section (Right of Withdrawal).

The User will then be informed on how to proceed with the return of the products, and once returned, they will be examined, and the User will be informed within a reasonable period of time whether a refund or, where appropriate, a replacement is due. The refund or replacement of the product will be made as soon as possible and, in any case, within 15 days following the date on which we send an email confirming that the refund or replacement of the non-conforming item is due.

The amount paid for those products that are returned due to a defect, when there is actually one, will be fully refunded, including delivery costs and any costs that the User may have incurred to return the product. The refund will be made using the same payment method that the User used to pay for the purchase. In any case, the rights recognized in the current legislation for the User, as a consumer and user, will always be respected.

Guarantees

It is understood that products are in compliance with the contract as long as they comply with the description made by The Wedding Scent and possess the qualities presented therein, are suitable for the uses to which products of the same type are ordinarily intended, and present the usual quality and performance of a product of the same type that can be fundamentally expected of it. When this is not the case with the products delivered to the User, they must proceed as indicated in the section on Return of defective products or shipping errors. However, some of the products marketed on the Website may present non-homogeneous characteristics as long as they derive from the type of material with which they have been manufactured and will therefore be part of the individual appearance of the product and not a defect.

Except where provided otherwise by law, The Wedding Scent shall not accept any liability for the following losses, regardless of their origin:

  • Any losses not attributable to any breach on their part;
  • Business losses (including loss of profits, revenue, contracts, anticipated savings, data, loss of goodwill or unnecessary expenses incurred); or
