To be eligible to purchase goods from this Website and legally enter into contracts under English law, you must be at least 18 years of age and, if an individual, provide accurate personal details including your full name, address, phone number, email address, and any other required information.
By making an offer to purchase goods from us on our Website, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older.
8. Placing an Order
8. Placing an Order
All orders are subject to acceptance and product availability. We only accept orders once we have checked them. We contact you via email to confirm we have received your order and will contact you again via email to confirm your order has been dispatched.
If an item you order is out of stock, we will inform you by email (or other means if no email address is provided) and give you the option to either wait for the item to be restocked or cancel your order. Sometimes we reject orders, for example, because a product is unexpectedly out of stock, because you are located outside the UK, or because the product was mispriced by us. When this happens, we let you know as soon as possible and refund any sums you have paid.
Your order will be considered an offer to purchase goods or services from us, which we reserve the right to accept or reject at any time. Any automatic order acknowledgment you receive does not signify our acceptance of your offer. A contract between you and us will be formed on the earlier of the following: (i) when you receive the order confirmation email, or (ii) when you receive the dispatch email confirmation.
We will make every reasonable effort to ensure the security of your order and payment information, but in the absence of negligence on our part, we cannot be responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized access to data you provide when using or ordering from the Website.
Risk for the products transfers to you upon completion of delivery to the address specified in your order.
9. Right to Cancel and Refunds
9. Right to Cancel and Refunds
You have the right to cancel any purchase within 14 days from the date you take physical possession of the goods and receive a refund of the price you paid for the goods.
To cancel a purchase under this clause, or for further detail regarding refunds, please refer to our Returns Policy for further information.
10. Pricing and Payment Terms
10. Pricing and Payment Terms
All prices listed include VAT (where applicable) at the current rates and are accurate at the time of entering information into the system. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the goods, we adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect. We also reserve the right to change prices at any time before submission of an order without prior notice.
You can make payments by major credit or debit cards or through your PayPal account (if available on website). Payment will be taken from your account before dispatch of the goods or the provision of the service. If using a credit card, a pre-authorization amount may be held until your card issuer validates the transaction. This pre-authorisation is used to verify that the card used for payment is valid and has not been reported lost or stolen. The pre-authorisation amount is temporary and will either be released or adjusted to the actual transaction amount once the purchase is completed.
If there is an error in the price shown at checkout, and we detect it before confirming your order (per clause 9), we are not obligated to sell the items at that incorrect price. We strive for price accuracy on our Website, but errors may occur. If this happens, we will inform you promptly and allow you to reconfirm your order at the correct price or cancel it. If you cancel an already-paid order due to such an error, you will receive a full refund.
You confirm that the payment method used is yours. All cardholders are subject to validation and authorisation checks by the card issuer. If your card issuer does not authorise payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.
If your payment is not successfully processed, we may attempt to reprocess it within 48 hours. If unsuccessful, we will notify you at least 48 hours in advance of any additional reattempts. You may cancel your order to prevent further attempts.
Only one discount code is permitted per order. Orders with multiple discount codes may be rejected or canceled. Discount codes are to be used according to their specific terms, including eligibility criteria and maximum order values. We reserve the right to cancel orders not complying with these terms, even if payment has been taken. For details on the terms associated with a specific discount code, contact customer service at:
Email: ukcontact@korres.com

- Caused by a delaying event outside our control. As long as we have taken the steps set out in the clause 15.
- Avoidable. Something you could have avoided by taking reasonable action, including following our reasonable instructions for use.

compensate you for the delay, but if the delay is likely to be substantial, you can contact our Customer Service Team to end the contract and receive a refund for any goods you have paid for, but not received.
