All products sold by Cosmetis are guaranteed to be 100% original, sourced directly from manufacturers in Europe, and comply with European standards and formulas. The authenticity of our products is a priority, ensuring that customers receive genuine items. European formulations of cosmetics may differ from those available in other regions. Customers should be aware of these potential differences when making a purchase, as Cosmetis does not provide refunds for such variations unless the product is proven to be defective or not as described. This policy acknowledges the regional differences in product formulations and packaging, which are common in the cosmetics industry.

It's important to note that the images displayed on our website at the time of purchase are intended to help identify the type of product, but may not precisely represent the actual item received. Manufacturers frequently update product packaging, and as a result, there may be differences in appearance, packaging language, or ingredient lists. These images are for illustrative purposes only and are not contractually binding representations of the product's properties.

For specific questions or concerns about a product, including details about ingredients or packaging, we encourage customers to contact our customer support team before making a purchase. Our support can be reached via e-mail at [email protected] for general inquiries and product-specific questions.

By purchasing from Cosmetis, customers acknowledge and accept these terms, understanding that product images and descriptions may vary from the actual items received due to updates and regional differences.

Cosmetis offers payments via PayPal, credit card, and digital payments so that you can make your purchases with total security and convenience.

The shipping cost may vary depending on the volume and weight of the order, as well as the destination and chosen shipping method. You can check the final shipping cost of your order in the shopping cart before processing the payment. However, be aware that any changes you make to the products in your cart may result in a change in the shipping cost.

Free Shipping is available for orders above 110 EUR, or the equivalent value in each country's currency, with a total parcel weight of less than 5kg (including products and any shipping materials such as filling, protection, and cardboard boxes). In this case, the free shipping method will be determined by Cosmetis, either DHL or EMS.

However, you will still have the option to choose different shipping methods on the checkout page if you prefer. Please note that by selecting a shipping method other than the one offered by Cosmetis, you are renouncing the free shipping offer.

It is important to note that if a shipment using the free shipping option is returned to Cosmetis due to reasons beyond our control, such as the recipient being absent, providing an incorrect address, or refusing to pay any applicable customs duties, the customer will be responsible for the associated costs. These expenses, including any incurred fees and customs charges, will be deducted from any refund that may be issued. Customers are advised to ensure accurate address information and availability to receive the parcel to avoid these additional charges.

All orders are processed by our logistics team within 3 business days, provided that all products in the order are available. This timeframe may change if one or more products in the order are temporarily unavailable. If any products are out of stock, the customer will be notified about the shipment of the remaining items in the order, and a refund for the unavailable product(s) will be issued. If the entire order is out of stock, the order will be canceled, and a full refund will be provided.

The order is dispatched after the processing time. Please note that delivery times shown at checkout are to be considered after the dispatch of the parcel.

Cosmetis ships worldwide through certified carriers. The shipping time will vary depending on the destination and the handling time of the carriers. Delivery times may vary in certain exceptional periods of higher flow (Christmas, Holidays, Black Friday, etc.). We suggest that during holiday periods you anticipate your purchases to receive all orders promptly.

Please note that the expected delivery times presented at checkout are estimates and are not guaranteed. Various factors beyond our control, such as local customs procedures regulated by governmental guidelines, can influence these times.

The indicated delivery period does not include the time required for customs clearance in the destination country, especially for orders outside the European Union. Each country's customs regulations and processes can affect delivery times.

For international orders, particularly those outside the European Union, customs inspections may cause additional delays. Unfortunately, Cosmetis cannot expedite this process. For inquiries regarding shipments sent via DHL, a response may take up to 5 business days. For EMS shipments, responses may take up to 1 month, and for economic shipping methods, up to 2 months.

At Cosmetis, we ensure you can always keep track of your favorite products. Once your order is dispatched, you will receive an e-mail containing a tracking code.

For DHL shipments, you can track your order using the DHL tracking service.

For shipments sent via Economic Shipping or Standard Shipping (EMS), you can track your order using the following platforms:

• 17TRACK, which supports tracking for over 170 carriers worldwide.
• CTT (Portugal Mail) for Economic and Standard Shipping.

Once the parcel reaches its country of destination, it may also be tracked using the local postal service's website.

If you experience any issues with tracking information, especially with Economic Shipping, we recommend checking the delivery status using the tracking number provided in your shipping confirmation e-mail on the destination country's postal service website.

For orders shipped outside the European Union, or to European non-EU member countries and territories with special tax contexts, local customs may select shipments for random inspection. When this occurs, the applicable import duties and taxes are determined by the local government and are the responsibility of the customer.

If your order is subject to taxation, you will receive a notification from the carrier detailing the amounts to be paid. You can use the tracking code provided with your shipping confirmation to monitor the status of your shipment.

In cases where the delivery fails due to a lack of customer cooperation, such as non-payment of taxes or failure to provide necessary documentation, the order will be returned to Cosmetis at the customer’s expense. This includes any incurred fees and customs duties. These costs will be deducted from any potential refund. This policy also applies to orders with free shipping options.

Additionally, under the legislation of certain countries, customs authorities may decide to abandon or destroy the order. In such instances, Cosmetis will not issue a refund, as it is the customer's responsibility to manage customs fees and provide required documentation (e.g., import licenses).

All products and brands available on Cosmetis.com are authorized for marketing and consumption in Portugal and comply with regulations set by Infarmed and DGAV (Portuguese Regulatory Authorities). It is the customer's responsibility to check if there are any regulations in their country that restrict or prohibit the import and consumption of certain products or substances, or if there are limits on the number of units that can be imported.

For orders where entry is not permitted, the following applies:

• Refunds: A refund for the value of the products will only be issued once the parcel has been returned to our facility. This refund will be processed according to the original payment method used for the purchase or in accordance with our refund policy options. The refund amount will be minus the costs of transportation and any associated taxes or customs fees incurred during the return process.
• Destruction of Goods: If the parcel is destroyed due to customs regulations or cannot be returned to our facility, no refund will be issued.

Please note that it is essential for the customer to ensure that all local regulations are met to avoid potential issues with customs and delivery.
