2. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US
2.1 We contract with retailers worldwide pursuant to which ESW is the appointed merchant of
record, which enables us to sell retailer’s merchandise to you in your country.
2.2 By placing an order with us through our site, you acknowledge that your transaction will be
with us and not with the respective retailer. You further acknowledge that upon successful
verification by us of the authenticity and sufficiency of the information you provide, we will
then purchase the merchandise from the respective retailer for the sole purpose of
immediately reselling it to you for the amounts presented and agreed-upon when you
submitted your order. We will be responsible for fulfilling the order to you.
2.3 Our site will guide you through the steps you need to take to place an order and make a
payment with us. Our order process allows you to check and amend any errors before
submitting your order to us. Please take the time to read and check your order at each page
of the order process.
2.4 After you place an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have
received your order. The Contract between us will only be formed when you receive your
order confirmation email.
2.5 We will send you an e-mail that confirms that the Products have been dispatched ("Dispatch
Confirmation").
2.6 If we are unable to supply you with a Product, for example because that Product is not in stock
or no longer available or because of an error in the price on our site or the respective retailers
site, we will inform you of this by e-mail and we will not process your order. If you have already
paid for the Products, we will refund you the full amount including any delivery costs charged
as soon as possible and will incur no further liability to you.
2.7 You acknowledge that we shall be permitted to verify the authenticity and sufficiency of the
information you provide, and if we are unable to verify the information automatically, our
representatives may contact you and/or your debit or credit card issuing bank to confirm your
identity and/or your intent to place the order.
2.8 Please note that any Products made available through our site are intended for non-
commercial use, and purchase of any Products for resale purposes is strictly prohibited.
2.9 By placing an order or making a payment through our site, you warrant that you are legally
capable of entering into binding contracts. Your credit/debit card or other payment method
will be billed by us and charges on your statement will be accompanied by the description
"eShopWorld", “eSW”, or similar. You warrant that all the information provided to us for the
purpose of processing payments is correct and you are authorized to utilize the proffered
payment method. You acknowledge that we will be entitled to verify the authenticity and
sufficiency of the payment information you provide. ESW reserves the right to cancel your
order at any stage, in the event that we are unable to verify the information you provide, or
3
V7 - 04.05.2022
the payment method that you have selected. In the event of a cancellation by ESW, we will
refund you the full amount that you have paid.
2.10 You acknowledge and agree that we shall conduct pre-payment screening on you and the
information you have provided. These checks are designed to prevent eShopWorld from
conducting business with a sanctioned individual, entity or country in violation of any
applicable laws and regulatory requirements in the territories we operate (including without
limitation all customs laws and regulations and export and import controls administered by
the U.S. government (including, but not limited to, the Export Administration Regulations
under the U.S. Department of Commerce), the European Union and any other applicable
jurisdiction).
2.11 We provide the service of determining the appropriate taxes and duties to be applied to the
importation of the Product by you, and to collect, report and remit these taxes and duties, as
applicable, on your behalf, to the appropriate tax authority. For imports into the European
Union and the United Kingdom, the resulting taxes and duties are included in your payment
and are paid by eShopWorld and there are no additional costs. By accepting these Terms, you
authorise eShopWorld to accept any additional claims for levies (additional assessment) from
the relevant customs authorities. For certain non-European imports, you will be responsible
for the remittance of taxes and duties to the appropriate tax authority. All Products purchased
from us are made pursuant to a shipment contract. Title to the Products shall transfer from
the relevant retailer to eShopWorld after exportation of the Products. Title subsequently
transfers from eShopWorld to you prior to importation of the Product and you shall be the
importer of record (save for delivery to Switzerland, where eShopWorld will be the importer
of record). Risk of loss in the Product passes to you when the Product is delivered to you.
2.12 By ordering Products from us, you hereby authorize a licensed customs broker chosen by us
to act as your agent and transact business with foreign revenue authorities to clear your
Products, account for duties and taxes on your behalf, if applicable return your Products and
if applicable, prepare and submit refund claims on your behalf for any merchandise that you
return. Please note that this section 2.12 excludes customers in Canada; customers in Canada
should refer to section 6.4.
2.13 The price of your order will be quoted including or excluding taxes depending on the delivery
address: (a) Products delivered within Canada will be quoted exclusive of sales tax; and (b)
Products delivered within Europe will be quoted inclusive of value added tax. Shipping costs
are not included in the price; these will be added at the checkout and will be indicated as a
separate charge on your order form (except, in circumstances where free shipping is offered).
2.14 For consumers in Australia, by placing an order with us through our site, you acknowledge
that you are entering into an international transaction with us and not with the respective
retailer. Further, you acknowledge that some banks may charge an international transaction
fee according to their policies. We do not charge this fee or control when your bank will charge
it.

Subject to deviating provisions under sections 9.7 and 9.8 for Consumers in Germany (for
which solely the provisions in these sections 9.7 and 9.8 shall apply), the following applies with
regard to product warranties and our liability:
9.1 Any warranty related issues arising in respect of a Product should be communicated to the
respective retailer's customer support team. In these circumstances, we will provide a refund
or replace the product as appropriate and solely upon instruction from the retailer.
10
V7 - 04.05.2022
9.2 ALL PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS ARE PROVIDED TO US BY THE RETAILER.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR COMPLETENESS OF SUCH
DESCRIPTION OR SPECIFICATION. WE PROVIDE NO WARRANTIES, GUARANTEES OR
COVENANTS OF ANY KIND RELATING TO THE FITNESS, QUALITY, SAFETY, OR INABILITY TO USE,
OR INABILITY TO HAVE REPAIRED OR SERVICED, ANY PRODUCT PURCHASED BY YOU. TO THE
MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
RELATING TO FITNESS, QUALITY, OR SAFETY OF THE PRODUCT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED AT LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE (WHETHER IN
CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO NEGLIGENCE), OR UNDER ANY
STATUTORY IMPLIED TERM) FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF REVENUE OR LOSS
OF DATA) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PRODUCTS PURCHASED OR
OBTAINED, WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGE. OUR MAXIMUM LIABILITY TO YOU IS THE AMOUNT CHARGED TO YOUR CREDIT
CARD OR OTHER FORM OF PAYMENT. DESPITE ANYTHING ELSE CONTAINED IN THESE TERMS.
NEITHER PARTY EXCLUDES ANY LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY TO THE EXTENT
ONLY THAT IT ARISES AS A RESULT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF THAT PARTY, ITS EMPLOYEES,
AGENTS OR AUTHORISED REPRESENTATIVES.
9.3 To the extent permitted by law, we exclude all conditions, warranties, representations or
other terms which may apply to our site or any content on it, whether express or implied.
9.4 We will not be liable to any user for any loss or damage arising under or in connection with:

9.6 We assume no responsibility for the content of websites linked on our sites. Such links should
not be interpreted as endorsement by us of those linked websites. We will not be liable for
any loss or damage that may arise from your use of them.
For Consumers in Germany
9.7 Regardless of deviating provisions in this section 9, the German consumer’s statutory warranty
rights for defects of goods remain unrestricted and can thus be asserted by them within the
scope of the legally mandatory scope to be granted by us.
11
V7 - 04.05.2022
9.8 Regardless of deviating provisions in this section 9, the following applies with respect to
liability provisions and limitations (both in manner and amount) for consumers in Germany:
9.8.1 We shall be liable without limitation to the extent that the cause of the damage is
based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by eShopWorld or a legal
representative or vicarious agent of eShopWorld.
9.8.2 Furthermore, we are liable for the slightly negligent breach of material obligations.
Material obligations are obligations whose breach jeopardizes the achievement of
the purpose of the contract or whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of
the contract possible in the first place and on whose compliance you regularly rely.
In this case, however, eShopWorld shall only be liable for the foreseeable damage
typical for this type of contract. eShopWorld shall not be liable for the slightly
negligent breach of obligations other than those specified in the preceding
sentences.
9.8.3 No limitation of liability shall apply in the event of injury to life, limb or health, for a
defect following the assumption of a guarantee for the quality of the Product and
for fraudulently concealed defects. Liability under the German Product Liability Act
shall remain unaffected.
9.8.4 Insofar as our liability is excluded or limited, this shall also apply to the personal
liability of our employees, representatives and vicarious agents.

under a Contract:
10.3.1 you will be contacted as soon as reasonably possible to notify you; and
10.3.2 our obligations under a Contract will be suspended and the time for performance of
our obligations will be extended for the duration of the Event Outside Our Control.

11.1 International authorities such as UNECE and the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations classify
Products containing fragrances and perfumes as dangerous goods (“Dangerous Goods”) and
as such these Dangerous Goods are subject to strict shipment requirements. The returns
process for Dangerous Goods differs from the returns process for non-Dangerous Goods.

other Dangerous Goods (if appliable), all shipping and handling charges are prepaid, and no
subsequent payment will be payable by you for the returns service. The Dangerous Good you
are returning must be in a fully resaleable condition i.e. unopened and unused and the packing
must not be damaged.

the Dangerous Goods to return and generate your returns label. eShopWorld will notify you
when the returned Dangerous Goods are received into the eShopWorld returns facility. The
returned Dangerous Goods will be inspected at the eShopWorld returns facility for
confirmation and we will refund any amounts due to you. Deductions may be made from
refunds where any such returned Dangerous Goods are returned in an unacceptable
condition. If the returned Dangerous Goods are not fully resaleable or the packaging is
damaged, we reserve the right to refuse a refund.
For Consumers in the European Union
11.4 If you make your purchase in the European Union (excluding United Kingdom) eShopWorld
will provide you with an online returns label through the Return Merchandise Portal, which
will include the applicable eShopWorld return address. You shall pay all shipping and handling
charges from your address to the eShopWorld return address. The Dangerous Good you are
returning must be in a fully resaleable condition i.e. unopened and unused and the packing
must not be damaged.
11.5 You are required to inform the carrier that the returns package contains fragrances and or
perfumes, and this will also be notified to you on the Return Merchandise Portal. Once the
Dangerous Goods are returned to the eShopWorld returns address, we will inspect the
returned Dangerous Goods and we will refund any amounts due to you. Deductions may be
made from refunds where any such returned Dangerous Goods are returned in an
13
V7 - 04.05.2022
unacceptable condition. If the returned Dangerous Goods are not fully resaleable or the
