Nothing in these terms affects your legal rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (also known as ‘statutory rights’) or any other rights otherwise granted to you by law.
Once your order has been placed with us (i.e. when you click on the “pay now” button at the end of the online checkout process) we will acknowledge it by email, assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is (it will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order). Please note that this acknowledgement email does not mean that your order has been accepted.
We will only accept your order when we email you to confirm this. At this point:
a legally binding contract will be in place between you and us governed by these terms; and
we will arrange to dispatch the products to you.
Legal ownership to the purchased products shall not pass until we received payment from you in full and cleared funds.
Circumstances where we may be unable to accept an order:
If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the products. This might be because:
the product is out of stock or unavailable;
of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for;
we cannot authorise your payment;
because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product; or
for any other reason in our sole and absolute discretion.
6. Product prices
The price of the products is as displayed on our website and is, by default, in Great British Pounds Sterling and includes VAT at the applicable rate.
You also have the option to display the product prices in various other currencies, including: Euros, US Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, New Zealand Dollars, Japanese Yen, Singapore Dollars and Hong Kong Dollars. Where an amount requires conversion from Great British Pounds Sterling, the rate of exchange shall be calculated automatically in line with the market exchange rate at the time of your purchase.
The price does not include the cost of delivering the products. The delivery options that we offer and the costs of delivery are set out in our FAQs and will be confirmed to you before you checkout and complete your order. You can access this information by visiting the following webpage: https://scientiabeauty.com/pages/faqs before you place your order. Please also refer to paragraph 13 for further details about delivery.
For some products, there may also be additional postage charges which have to be charged on top of our standard delivery charges (this is usually due to the size of the items involved or the high cost of the item). If this is the case, we will let you know of the additional charges in the relevant product descriptions and/or by contacting you in writing.
What if we get the price wrong?
It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount.
If the product's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated in our price list, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract and refund you any sums you have paid.

14. Returns, refunds and Exchange
Should you no longer want the products, or there is an issue with them, you may be entitled to a refund depending on the reason for your return and the nature of the products you have ordered. Your legal rights are summarised in paragraph 3 (your legal rights). Nothing in these terms and conditions affects your statutory rights.
Unwanted Items:
For most products purchased online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.
Please note, these terms reflect the goodwill guarantee offered by us to our UK customers, which is more generous than your legal rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations in the ways set out below. This goodwill guarantee does not affect your legal rights in relation to faulty or misdescribed products (see below):
Right under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 :
14 day period to change your mind.
How our goodwill guarantee is more generous :
30 day period to change your mind.
To exercise the right to change your mind, you can either:
- Post the products that you do not want back to us within 30 days of you (or the person nominated by you) receiving them; or
- Inform us of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or email) within 30 days of you receiving the products.
Provided that we receive the products back in their original condition and accompanied with their original receipt, we will issue a refund to you in accordance with the “Refunds” section below.
You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of:
- Products that are made to your specifications or which are personalised/bespoke;
- Any products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery;
- Products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes (including, for example, face and body products), once these have been unsealed after you receive them; or
- Products which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly.
Your rights to change your mind does not affect your legal rights in relation to faulty or misdescribed products.
Faulty Products:
We must provide you with products that comply with your legal rights (as summarised in paragraph 3 (your legal rights)). If they do not, you may be entitled to a full refund, or, depending on the time, some money back or a repair. Please contact us using the details set out at paragraph 1 should you believe that your products are non-compliant with your legal rights.
Returns:
To process your return, send us an email to hello@scientiabeauty.com letting us know your name, address and order number and we will help you place the return.
All returns must be:
- Accompanied with their original receipt;
- In respect of face and body products only: these must be unused and unopened; and
If we do not receive the products back from you and proof of postage has not been provided to us, we reserve the right to refuse all refund requests.
If the products are not suitable for posting, please let us know and we will discuss alternative options with you.
Costs of return:
We will pay the costs of return:
- If the products are faulty or misdescribed; or
- If you are ending the contract because we have told you of an error in pricing or description or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong.
In all other circumstances (including where you are exercising your right to change your mind) you must pay the costs of return.
Refunds:
If you are entitled to a refund, we will make any refunds (less any deductions that we are entitled to make (see below)) to you as soon as possible and, in any event, no later than 10 working days from the day on which we receive the products back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the products back to us.
We may reduce your refund of the price to reflect any reduction in the value of the products, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which is unacceptable. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the products and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount (as directed by us) on demand.
If you qualify for the delivery fee to be refunded, we will refund the exact delivery fee paid and no other amount.
We will make the refund using the same method of payment as you used for the initial transaction and you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement. If full or part payment has been made via a gift card, you will be issued with a new gift card credited with the amount that was paid on the gift card for your original purchase.
All refunds will take into account any offer codes used in connection with your purchase.
Exchanges:
If you are eligible for a refund, you may request an exchange (for products of the equivalent value than the products being returned) rather than a refund. We reserve the right to reject such a request in our sole discretion. This does not affect your legal rights in relation to faulty or misdescribed products.
15. Our Responsibility for Loss or Damage Suffered By You
We are only liable to you as set out in this contract. We have no other duty or liability to you. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products including the right to receive products which are: as described and match information we provided to you and any sample or model seen or examined by you; of satisfactory quality; fit for any particular purpose made known to us in advance; supplied with reasonable skill and care; and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.
We only supply the products for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
In the absence of negligence on our part, any failure by us to comply with this contract or our Privacy Policy (see paragraph 4) or breach by us of our duties under applicable laws we will not be legally responsible to you for any loss that you may suffer if a third party gains unauthorised access to any information that you give us.
16. INGREDIENTS AND ALLERGY INFORMATIONM
We choose our ingredients very carefully to ensure that our formulas are as gentle as possible but it is important that you check the ingredients carefully if you suffer from any allergies or have sensitive skin.
Full ingredient lists can be found on our product pages. If you would like further information about any of the specific ingredients used please send a message to hello@Scientiabeauty.com to talk to a member of our team.
You should ensure that you have read the ingredient description thoroughly before purchasing any product and/or applying it on your (or another person’s) face and/or body.
It is your sole responsibility to ensure that the product is suitable for the face and/or body that it is intended to be applied to and we shall, to the extent permitted by law, not be responsible in any way for any loss or damage (including any death or personal injury arising from an allergic reaction or similar) suffered by you or any other person where such loss or damage arises as a result of you incorrectly determining the suitability of the product for your (or another person’s) face and/or body.
17. Other Important Terms
We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.
You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.
This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these terms.
Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
This contract and any documents referred to in it reflect the whole agreement between us.
If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
These terms and conditions, their subject matter and their formation, are governed by English law. You and we both agree that the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction except that if you are a resident of Northern Ireland you may also bring proceedings in Northern Ireland, and if you are resident of Scotland, you may also bring proceedings in Scotland.
18. ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLYING TO OVERSEAS ORDERS
This paragraph 19 applies to you if are purchasing products from outside of the United Kingdom. The terms of this paragraph 19 shall take priority over any of the preceding terms and conditions in the event of there being any conflict.
Whilst we do accept orders for products from outside of the United Kingdom, we reserve the right to refuse orders in certain territories (for example, territories that are subject to trade sanctions, embargoes or other restrictions). We will let you know once you have placed your order with us if we are unable to accept it for any reason.
Your order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when the delivery reaches the relevant destination. Please note that we have no control over import duties and taxes and we cannot predict how much they will be. You will be fully responsible for obtaining information relating to, and payment of, any such import duties and taxes. We recommend that you contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order.
You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the products are destined. We will not be responsible if you order products in breach of any such laws and regulations or if you otherwise break any such laws or regulations.
