11. Your Cancellation Rights
11.1 As you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation until the date which is 7 business days after you receive the Products. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep a Product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund.
11.2 Your right to return goods does not apply to goods (i) made to your specification; or (ii) which have been clearly personalised; or (iii) which by reason of their nature cannot be returned or are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly; or (iv) where sealed goods have been supplied which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons, if they become unsealed after delivery.
11.3 To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. The easiest way to do this is to complete the Cancellation Form which can be accessed at the bottom of this section, or by e-mailing us at customercareHK@diptyqueparis.com. In any such e-mail or written communication, you must include details of your order, including your order number, to enable us to identify it. Your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the e-mail or post the letter to us.
11.4 If you cancel your Contract we will:
(a) Refund you the price you paid for the Products. However, please note we are permitted by law to reject your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a store. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover that you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you will be liable to pay to us an appropriate amount.
(b) Delivery cost of the original order will not be refunded. The cost of the pick-up service of returning goods will be borne by diptyque HK.

(b) Products should be handed to our courier service, Kerry Express, following the pick-up instructions they provide

12. Your other statutory rights to return Products under applicable laws
12.1 Because you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with the Contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights (which are summarised in general terms below) are not affected by your right of return and refund in clause 12 (above) or anything else in these T&Cs.
12.2 Goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of your Products your legal rights entitle you to the following:
(a) Up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you are entitled to an immediate refund.
(b) Up to 6 months: if your goods cannot be repaired or replaced, then you are entitled to a full refund in most cases.
(c) After 6 months (depending on the type of Product): if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time then you may be entitled to some money back.
13. Our liability for loss or damage suffered by you
13.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these T&Cs we will be responsible for loss or damage that you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen (for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process).
13.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Products as summarised at clause 13; and for defective Products.
13.3 We only supply Products for domestic and private use in reasonable quantities expected of a consumer and we do not make bulk sales. We do not sell more than 5 of the same item to any consumer and if you order more than this quantity in one order or in a series of orders we may request confirmation from you that you are a consumer rather than an un-authorised re-seller and we may refuse to accept your offer to purchase the Products ordered. You agree not to use the Products for any commercial, business or resale purposes. We have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
