All contractual details of the order will be communicated to the Customer in the language the Customer selected and confirmed their order in.
At that point, the order can no longer be modified by the Customer.

Amour & Luxe reserves the right to split orders into one or more deliveries as Products are available. Each delivery will be notified by e-mail. Deliveries will be accompanied by a delivery note which also gives details of the Products delivered. The Costumer will not bear any additional shipping costs if Amour & Luxe decides to split an order into several deliveries.
Should a delivery go missing during the delivery process, and the provisions of this article are complied with, Amour&Luxe will send a new shipment entirely at its expense if the Product is still available or refund the value of the order including transport costs.
The risks of loss and/or damage pass to the Customer on delivery to the delivery address mentioned during the ordering process or any other delivery preferences specified by the Customer.
ARTICLE 8 — RIGHT OF REVOCATION
The Customer has thirty (30) days from the day of receipt of the Products ordered to exercise its right of revocation, without the need to provide any reason.
The Customer will inform Amour&Luxe of its decision to revoke by sending a clear, unambiguous declaration to Customer Service, Notelarenstraat 23, 3, 3500 Hasselt, Belgium or by E-mail: info@amouretluxe.com.
The Customer shall return the Products to Amour&Luxe immediately and in any case, at the latest fourteen (14) days after having communicated the decision to revoke. The Customer must return the Products in a new and unused condition, with all the original labels on, and at his own expense. The Customer will bear the responsibility for the Products (including any damage or loss) until it reaches Amour&Luxe.
In case the aforementioned conditions are fulfilled and Amour&Luxe has received the Products, Amour&Luxe will refund the Customer the full sum of the order excluding the shipping costs.
The full purchase price excluding the shipping costs will be refunded within 7 calendar days of Amour&Luxe receiving the returned Products in good time, provided all conditions as specified above have been strictly complied with. Under no circumstances can the amount repaid ever exceed what the Customer actually paid.
For this refund Amour&Luxe will use the same means of payment as the Customer used for the original transaction unless expressly agreed otherwise and in no event will the Customer be charged for this refund less the sales vouchers or discounts used to pay for the order. The Customer will be refunded in accordance with the procedures agreed with the bank which issued the card.
The Customer shall be liable for any loss in value of the Products if such loss in value is due to having used the Products to an extent more than necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and the functioning of the Products.
Returns can only be accepted in the way described above. Returns must be sent to the address below:
Amour&Luxe
Notelarenstraat 23/3
3500 Hasselt

ARTICLE 10 — STATUTORY WARRANTY
In case of faulty or non-conforming goods, the Customer can contact Customer Service via the e-mail address info@amouretluxe.com.
The Customer shall be entitled to the two-year legal guarantee of conformity for goods, as described below.
From the moment Amour&Luxe receives the defective Product, Amour&Luxe will at the Customer's choice either repair the defect or replace the Product with a Product free of defects (so-called supplementary performance). Before asserting other warranty claims, Amour&Luxe shall be given reasonable opportunity and time to perform such supplementary performance. Amour&Luxe can refuse the type of supplementary performance chosen by the Customer if it is only possible with disproportionate costs.
If the supplementary performance fails, the Customer can obtain a reduction of the price according to statutory provisions or a termination of the contract at his/her choice.
The right to terminate is excluded if the delivered Products deviate only insignificantly from the agreed quality or if the contractual or normal use of the Products is only insignificantly impaired.
Customers must contact Customer Service should they wish to invoke this guarantee immediately, and notify Amour&Luxe of the non-compliance via Customer Service in writing in any case within two months of discovering the defect.
Under no circumstances does the guarantee apply to Products which are damaged intentionally or by the Customer's negligence, nor does it apply if the damage is due to sleet, transport or incorrect use.
Customers can contact Customer Service if they have any queries regarding the above.
ARTICLE 11 — SALES FOR PRIVATE PURPOSES
