Depending upon your choice of currency, our prices are stated in Euros (€) and include Sales Tax (VAT) at the rate of 21%.

3.2

Our VAT Number: 9666715N

3.3

We clearly show you the price you have to pay for our products. If, by mistake, we have under-priced a product, we will not have to deliver that product to you at the stated price, provided that we tell you before we post the product. You can then decide if you still want the product.

3.4

You can only purchase Instant Gift Cards™ at full value (including paying VAT) and cannot pay for them using any other promotional offers or codes. Once you purchase an Instant Gift Card™ we will send it by email to the recipient and you cannot cancel it.

3.5

If you have received an Instant Gift Card™, you cannot transfer it to anyone else and you cannot use it to purchase other Instant Gift Cards™. You can only use it to make purchases up to the value of the Instant Gift Card™ (if your purchase is over the value of the Instant Gift Card™, you will need to pay the additional amount). You cannot use an Instant Gift Card™ anywhere except online at the Sobe Brown website. When you do use your Instant Gift Card™, you will be able to use the value in whole or part, and in conjunction with any promotional offers or codes applicable to the goods which you are buying.

3.6

When an Instant Gift Card™ is used on the Sobe Brown website we only check the Instant Gift Card™ code and assume the Instant Gift Card™ is being used by the recipient. Once you have received an Instant Gift Card™, please be careful with it to ensure it is not used to make any unauthorised purchases.

4 Acceptance of your order

4.1

Our products are sold for personal use only. There will be no contract of any kind between you and us unless we actually dispatch the products to you. Your order (including payment) is an offer to buy from us, so nothing we do or say will amount to any acceptance of that offer until we actually send the product to you. At any point up until then, we may decide not to send the products to you and to give you a full refund. If an item is out of stock, we will let you know and unless you then request your payment be returned we will hold your payment until the product is next in stock. At the moment the goods are dispatched (and not before), a contract will be made between you and us.

5 Delivery and charges

5.1

The cost of shipping and delivery is clearly displayed at 'checkout' for your approval prior to confirming your order. For detailed shipping and delivery information see our current Delivery Times & Charges.

5.2

Our delivery within Ireland is usually 2-3 working days. Our delivery overseas is usually within 4-7 days. Reasonable allowance should be made for orders made over the weekend and at National Holidays. We do our best to deliver within 30 days of the date of your order but shall not be liable for loss occasioned by delay in delivery arising out of any cause beyond our control.

5.3

We are not responsible for Instant Gift Cards™ not received due to your failure to provide us with accurate delivery information, such as an incorrect or non-existent email address.

6 Cancellation and return

6.1

You have the right to cancel your order for goods at any time up to 7 working days after the day following the delivery of the goods by contacting our Customer Services department by telephone, fax, email or post. If your order is the purchase of an Instant Gift Card™, you cannot cancel it because we will already have sent the Instant Gift Card™ to the recipient by email. Your right to cancel is on the basis that we will be able to re-sell the goods to another customer as new when you return them to us; so please do not use or open any sealed packaging. If you have any questions about the goods or need help on deciding whether or not to keep them, please contact Customer Services for more information.

6.2

If the products have already been posted to you (or on your behalf to any other person), you (or the other person) must return the products to us at the time of cancellation and we will credit your credit or debit card with the price of the products within 30 days beginning with the day on which notice of cancellation was given. If you paid by Instant Gift Card™, we will provide you with a new Gift Card™. You should return products to Returns Dept. Sobe Brown Salon, Island House, Morrisons Quay, Cork City, Co.Cork, Ireland enclosing a copy of the original invoice. When returning goods we recommend that you use recorded delivery, or obtain a proof of posting (a proof of posting can be obtained free of charge at any Post Office).

6.3

If you do not return the goods within 7 days of your cancellation, we will make a charge in respect of the cost of recovering the goods. If you do not return the goods or fail to make them available for collection within 30 days of your notice of cancellation, you will be deemed to have accepted the goods, at which point a new purchase contract will be made and you will be charged for your order at the price set out on the web site.
