Failing this, the Company reserves the right to cancel the order and the corresponding payment.

4.2 Steps to place an order

Step n°1: selection of the Products

    On the Website, the customer selects the Product(s) of its choice, their required quantity and, as the case may be, the relevant size or format, and adds the selected Products to its shopping cart by clicking on the “ADD TO BAG” button.

    Step n°2: verification of the selected Products

      The customer may freely modify online his/her “SHOPPING BAG” containing the Products selected, remove a Product initially selected, modify the quantities ordered or alternatively add a Product to its “SHOPPING BAG”. The price of the Products selected will be automatically displayed in the “SHOPPING BAG”.

        The customer can choose the offered samples by clicking on “CHOOSE YOUR SAMPLES” and add a personalized message by clicking on “ADD A PERSONALIZED MESSAGE”. He/She can also add a promo code by clicking on “APPLY”.

        Step n°4: order validation

          Once the customer has made his/her selection and wishes to validate the contents of his/her “SHOPPING BAG” he/she must click the “PROCEED TO CHECKOUT” button and then, identify himself/herself as follows:

          • If he/she has an account on the Website: by entering his/her login and password;
          • If he/she does not have an account on the Website he/she can also place the order as a guest: by adding his/her name, address to which the order will be invoiced to him/her, telephone number.

          The customer must validate:

          • the delivery address, which must be in one of the countries where Company offers the delivery of the Products on its Website (See Article 2);
          • the shipping method opted for, standard delivery costs being borne by the Company;
          • the chosen payment method.

          Once all this information has been duly fulfilled and validated, the price of the Products, and, as the case may be, the extra shipping costs, will be automatically displayed on the Website and the customer must click on the “NEXT STEP” button.

          After communicating its payment information, the customer must then click on the "PAY" button in order to debit his/her bank account.

          Provided that the customer's bank has authorized the debiting of his/her bank account, his/her “SHOPPING BAG” will be directly forwarded to the Company’s department responsible for preparing orders; the customer will then see his/her order number displayed.

          This order will be binding on the customer as from the time when the "SHOPPING BAG", duly filled and validated by the display of the registration page for the order, is received by the Company.

          Step n°5: acknowledgement of receipt of the order

            The Company will acknowledge having received the order by means of an e-mail sent to the email address communicated by the customer. This confirmation e-mail will contain the ordering and customer information and/or, where relevant, any difficulties concerning the order (availability of the Products, delivery timeframes or payment difficulty). The orders are binding for the Company once a confirmation e-mail without reservations has been sent to customer.

            Step n°6: dispatching of the Product(s)

            At the time of dispatching the Products to the delivery address chosen by the customer, the Company will send the latter an email informing him/her of the said dispatch.

            Article 5 – Price of the Products

            The prices displayed on the Website are given in Euros and include all taxes applicable, such as VAT, but do not include extra delivery costs.

            The amount of the extra transport costs (other than standard delivery), if any, will be automatically displayed, if relevant, on the Website at the time of the validation of the order.

            The prices of the Products are those in force at the date of placing the order.

            Article 6 – Payment

            The customer's purchases will be paid for by credit card, Paypal or Klarna. The following credit cards are accepted by the Company: [VISA, MASTERCARD, AMERICAN EXPRESS].

            The customer must provide his/her credit card number and/or his/her bank details by filling in the online payment form.

            The transaction will then be effected by the customer in accordance with secure banking standards, by communicating his/her credit card number and/or bank details; the customer unconditionally agrees in advance that the Company may complete the secure transaction in question. The authorization to debit the customer's account is always given only for the amount of the Products bought.

            The customer's credit card will then be debited after verification of its identification and banking information. If, for any reason whatsoever (objection, refusal on the part of the issuing centre, etc.), debiting the sums payable by the customer proves to be impossible, the order will not be registered by the Company and/or will be cancelled.

            The Company reserves the ownership of the Products until the full price of the Products has been paid to Company, i.e. once the price has effectively been debited from the customer’s bank account.

            Article 7 – Delivery

            Products can only be delivered to the delivery address indicated by the customer at the time of placing his/her order, provided that such delivery address is located in one of the countries where Rabanne offers delivery of its Products (see Article 2).

            To that end, the customer undertakes to have communicated an exact delivery address to the Company.

            Once payment of the amount payable for the Products ordered has been duly validated, these Products will be delivered to the delivery address indicated by the customer.
