3.1 Placing Orders 

When you place your first order, we will ask you to open a client account and to fill out an order form, providing information in certain mandatory fields so that we can process your order.

In the event of a period of inactivity during the connection, it is possible that the KENZO Products that you have chosen will no longer be available. You will then be asked to re-enter your selection of KENZO Products from the beginning.

Some products can be pre-ordered. These products are identified as pre-orderable, on the Website. Unless specific provision related to pre-ordered products indicated in these General Conditions of Sale, the same provisions apply to orders and pre-orders.

Before any final order, you will have the opportunity to check the details of your order and its total price, and to correct any potential errors, before confirming that order in order to express your acceptance. Any order placed implies, from your side, an obligation to pay for it.

For any order that you place through our Website, a confirmation email will be sent to you with your order number and the details of the KENZO Products you have ordered.

All of the steps necessary to place an order are described on our Website.

Despite all the care we take in presenting the KENZO Products on our Website, we cannot guarantee that their real appearance will correspond exactly to how they appear on our Website, your computer screen or mobile device.

3.2 Limitations

Where permitted by law, we reserve the right to limit the quantities of KENZO Products that we supply, and/or to refuse any order for any reason including orders that appear to us to be unusual, designed to permit resale of KENZO Products, fraudulent orders or orders placed in bad faith. In addition, we reserve the right to refuse any order from a client with whom there is a dispute concerning the payment on a previous order.

Certain KENZO Products may be subject to certain import restrictions specific to your country.  In that circumstance, you will be notified at the checkout page and be asked to remove the item from your cart.
 

The price of KENZO Products is given either:

• in Euros, including all taxes and duties,
• in the currency of the country you wish your product to be delivered, 
• in the country where you are geolocated, if the case may be. 

Outside the EU, the locales taxes and duties are calculated and added in the cart 

You will not receive a VAT refund for your purchases on our Website.

A printed invoice will be sent with your KENZO Products.

We pay the closest attention to the accuracy of the prices on our Website. However, in the case of an error on our part and subject to applicable law, we reserve the right to not provide the KENZO Products for which the posted price was manifestly incorrect.

We can modify the prices listed on our Website at any time and without prior notice. However, such modified prices will only be applied to new orders made after the price change, and will not affect the pricing on orders that have already been placed.

There is no duty if the KENZO Products are shipped to you in the EU. 

Outside the EU, customs duty and import tax are specific to the particular country. Customs authorities in each country calculate duty and tax based on a number of factors, including: 

• the category in which the KENZO Product is classified in the international Harmonized Code (HS) system;
• the value of the KENZO Product (based on the price you paid);
• for most countries, duty is calculated on a “CIF” basis (meaning Cost, Insurance and Freight), so the shipping charges you pay will also be factored in to the calculation of the amount of duty you will pay.

The total cost of your order includes:

• The KENZO Product purchase price (including all applicable local taxes and handling fees);
• Where applicable, customs duty, import tax and any local clearance fees (evaluated by our service provider, Glopal, a French company having its main office at 1501 Routes des Dolines - Le Thélème - 06560 Valbonne, France, and registered into the Grasse Commercial Register under n°501 2016 071);
• The shipping fees calculated when you have specified your delivery address and chosen your shipment method. 

You will pay for the KENZO Product and the cross-border delivery in a single checkout.

For countries where tax and duty is pre-calculated and pre-paid, you will generally not see Customs paperwork and your total cost is fixed and guaranteed.  You should be aware that the actual tax and duty charged by the Customs authorities in your country sometimes turns out to be higher or lower than the amount you paid, for a number of reasons. For example, a particular Customs authority may classify your product in a different category in the Harmonized Code (HS) system from the category used by Glopal, or your local Customs authorities may (for whatever reason) use a different formula to calculate the duty; or the calculation may be affected by a change in currency exchange rates between the time of calculation and the time the tax and duty is paid to Customs authorities. In such situations, you will not receive a refund (if the amount is less) or be charged extra (if the amount is greater). This is due to the administrative time and costs that such arrangements would require.
 

Methods of payment accepted are: credit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Carte Bleue and Maestro), Paypal, Wechatpay, Alipay, China UnionPay, Discover, Diners Club et JCB. Local payment methods are also accepted: Sofort in Austria, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland, Ideal in the Netherlands and Bancontact in Belgium.

Your credit card will be charged (or your debit card debited) (i) at the time of shipment of your order, for orders delivered in a European Union member country; (ii) thirty minutes after placement of your order, for deliveries out of the EU (Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, Hong-Kong SAR, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, Australia and Japan).

Payments made with Paypal, Sofort, Bancontact and Ideal are debited immediately.

For pre-orders, payments are debited immediately, regardless the method of payment.

In jurisdictions where permitted, your payment will be regarded as a deposit. Consequently, if, for any reason beyond our control, we could not deliver the products you ordered, we would refund the amount you paid to us, but we won't pay any damages. Moreover, if this amount was paid to us more than 3 months prior to the report of our inability to deliver to you, additional interest calculated at the legal rate will be deducted, the countdown beginning retroactively on the day of your payment.

For that purpose, you will guarantee that you are the holder of the Paypal account or the bank card to be charged or debited and that the name appearing on that card is in fact your own.

You will then provide the 16-digit number and the expiry date that appear on the front of your bank card and, as applicable, the number of the visual cryptogram appearing on the back. This information will be encrypted using current industry standards (including the SSL protocol) (confirmed by the appearance of the “https” in the address displayed by your navigator).

The security of this bank information and the online check towards banking institution and agencies will be made by Adyen, our payment service provider, a finance company approved by Banque de France (Agreement n °73829) through its safe solution Adyen.

If the amount owed cannot be charged or debited for any reason whatsoever (objection, refusal by issuing center, etc.), the order will be immediately cancelled and the online purchasing process will be terminated.

In order to fight fraud and abusive usage of bank cards, KENZO automatically analyses the transaction, including the bank card information. To learn more about the processing of such data, please consult our Privacy Policy (§3.1).

Some banks charge additional fees for foreign money transfers and credit card transactions in foreign currencies. If your order is not priced in the currency of your country, you should confirm the applicability of any fees before placing your order with your bank. KENZO will not be liable for additional charges associated with foreign currency transactions.

Signature will be required upon delivery.

If, at the time of delivery, the exterior appearance of the package is not perfect, we would ask you to open it in the presence of the carrier, in order to check the condition of the KENZO Products that have been delivered.
