Products listed on the Website and reserves the right to withdraw Products from
sale at any time.
In case one
or several Products are unavailable after an Order has been confirmed, LAST

of the Products in the Order be unavailable, the Customer's bank account will
be charged for the price of the available Products as well as any shipping

To file a Review, the Customer must go to the page dedicated to the Product concerned, click on "Write a review" in the "Reviews" tab and must:
- enter his first names, last name and e-mail address in order to allow LAST to identify him and, if necessary, to contact him and ensure the authenticity of the Review (this information is neither visible nor accessible by other Users).

- give an overall satisfaction rating, ranking from one to five stars,
- express a comment on the Product using a readable and understandable language excluding the use of SMS type language.
The Customer has the possibility of illustrating or supplementing his Review with a photograph or a video produced for the purposes of presenting the Product concerned.
After verification of the Review authenticity by LAST, the Review may be published on the Website and visible to all Users on the page of the Product concerned until the said Product is de-listed.
Any Customer undertakes to write a Review on a Product that they have actually used and which testifies to their personal experience relating to the use of said Product. As such, Opinions cannot replace or be considered as medical advice.
No Customer receives any consideration, financial or otherwise, in exchange for filing a Review.

- indecent, abusive, obscene, racist or defamatory remarks,
- comments undermining respect for the human person or their dignity, equality between women and men or the protection of children and teenagers,
- statements encouraging crimes and misdemeanors,
- personal information,
- content for professional, commercial or political purposes,

- and, more generally, of content establishing an abuse in the exercise of freedom of expression, in particular consisting of a systematic and non-objective criticism of the Products and LAST.
Reviews are published under the sole and entire responsibility of the Customers who submitted them, so that LAST cannot be held responsible for their content.
Any Customer submitting a Review on the Website guarantees to LAST that he holds all the rights relating to his Review and expressly authorizes LAST to use his Review in the context of its marketing and / or in its advertising.
ARTICLE 4.
PRICE
Product
prices are quoted in Euro, inclusive of all taxes (including VAT), but do not
include shipping costs, which will be indicated on the Order overview before
the Customer’s final approval. Shipping costs vary according to the shipping
method selected by the Customer.
The price
billed to the Customer is the total price specified in the Order overview at
the "Confirm Order" stage, prior to the Customer’s confirmation of
the Order, and in the Order confirmation e-mail. It includes shipping costs.
LAST
retains the right to change the price of the Products at any time, it being
specified that these changes will have no effect on Orders that have already
been confirmed by the Customer prior to the said changes, and provided that the
Products ordered are available.
Special
offers are valid within the limits of available stocks during the period
indicated in the offer and, if not, as long as they are displayed on the
Website.
LAST is and
remains the owner of any Product ordered by the Customer until the Customer has
paid the total price of the Order, including shipping costs.
The
Customer shall return to LAST without delay any delivered Product for which it
would not have entirely or partially paid the price.
ARTICLE 5.
PURCHASE
LAST sells
retail Products to end consumers. Therefore, the Customer is aware that
Products must be intended for personal use and under no circumstances for
commercial purposes (resale, distribution...), so that no more than five (5)
Products of the same reference may be ordered on the Website and/or that an
order of over five hundred (500) euros all taxes included may not be placed.
Similarly, the Customer may not place more than three (3) orders per day. Any
Order that does not comply with one or all of these conditions shall be
considered a fraudulent Order and, consequently, LAST may consider it as null
and void.
Any User
can freely browse the Website without any obligation to buy. The User who would
like to place an Order must select the desired Product(s) and add them to their
virtual shopping cart. To place an Order, the Customer must be of legal age,
have legal capacity and own a credit card. Under no circumstances can LAST be
held responsible for checking the legal capacity of the Customer. Consequently,
should a person with no legal capacity order Products on the Website, their
legal guardians shall be held fully responsible for the Order and shall be
required to pay for it.
Orders can
be placed either via a personal account that was created or to be created on
the Website, or in guest mode.
A personal
account can be created by clicking on "account" and then "Create an account" anytime during your visit on the Website. Certain information
is required to place an Order, while other information is optional and is only
used to get to know you better. The personal account, accessible through the Custome eamil address and his chosen password chosen, enables the Customer to track
their Order history, and manage the billing and delivery addresses. The Customer shall not disclose their password to any
third party and shall remain solely responsible for the use of their personal
account.
Placing an
Order in guest mode, meaning without creating a personal account, implies
filling out a form with the Customer email address, the first name and last nameincluding also necessary information for the payment of the Order
and its shipping.
LAST shall
not be held liable for any mistake made by the Customer in the information
provided that may prevent the Order from being finalized or shipped.
The Customer can check the content and amount of his basket at any time and, if needed, make changes by clicking on the "Previous
Step" icon to correct any mistakes made during the Product selection
process. Once the Customer has completed the payment for the Order by clicking
on the "Pay [amount of the order]" icon, the Customer may no longer cancel or
change the Order, except when performing their right of withdrawal.
An Order is
confirmed when the Customer pays its total price and then receives a
confirmation e-mail including an overview of the Products ordered, the total
price, the shipping costs and the order number. The Customer understands that
placing an Order obliges them to pay for it and that LAST is entitled to charge
the full price of the Purchase Order from the moment the Order is confirmed.
The invoice for the Order is accessible on the Website in the Customer account section or the Customer can get it on written request to customer service by email at lily@colors-that-last.com.
Unless the
Customer performs their right of withdrawal as defined in article 8, the Order
concluded between LAST and the Customer is irrevocable. However, LAST has the
right to refuse, suspend or cancel an Order, regardless of its nature, its
amount or its degree of completion, in case of:
- full or
partial non-payment of the Order or of a previous Order;
- payment
incident or payment denial from banking organizations;
- fraudulent
or presumed fraudulent orders;
- an existing
dispute with the Customer.:
If an Order
is refused, suspended or canceled for any of the above reasons, LAST will
promptly inform the Customer, stating why the Order was refused.
LAST
advises the Customer to keep a printed and/or electronic copy of the Order
overview as well as all e-mails related to the Order. The Parties agree that
all e-mail exchanges between them about the Order, as well as the automatic
filing system used by the Website, shall be considered as evidence regarding
the exactitude of their legally binding relation.
ARTICLE 6.
PAYMENT
All Orders
placed on the Website can be paid in Euro. Exchange rate fees or banking fees
might apply to the Customer, namely if a card with a currency other than Euro
is used.
The payment
of the Order by the Customer is done directly onto the Website by certain cards
such as Visa and MasterCard or via Paypal, as well as with e-gift cards.
For credit
card payments, the Customer will insert their card number, expiry date, name of
the holder and visual cryptogram.
For Paypal
payments, the Customer will be redirected towards the Paypal page to log in and
confirm the payment, and will then be redirected towards the Website to confirm
their Order.
In any
case, the Customer declares and guarantees to LAST that they are using a
payment method for which they have all necessary authorizations at the time the
Order is confirmed.
The
Customer’s account is charged the moment the Order is confirmed.
All
transactions on the Website are secured by Internet payments security protocol,
3D Secure and by a secure payment operator, Ogone. All information exchanged
for the payment is encrypted with the SSL protocol (Secure Socket Layer).
Payment security is also ensured by FPS Web.
In any
case, LAST shall not be held liable for fraudulent use of any payment method
undetected during the payment process.
As part of
the fight against Internet fraud, information regarding the Customer’s Order
may be transmitted to a judiciary or legally authorized authority to check the
Customer’s identity, the payment method used or the planned delivery location.
ARTICLE 7.

applicable, pick up his Order from the post office in the time frame stated on
the delivery notice.
Any Order
that fails to be picked up from the pickup points or delivery address indicated

end, the Customer must get in touch with customer service via e-mail at
lily@colors-that-last.com.
The
Customer must then return the said Product(s) suitably protected, new and
unused, in their undamaged original packaging, within a new period of fourteen

- 50 points offered when the profile of the Customer's personal account is completed;
- 50 points offered when the Customer posts the link to the Website on their social networks;

- 100 points offered on the Customer's birthday.
The points accumulated on the Customer's personal account are valid for 365 rolling days from the date of placing the Order or gaining the points.
The number of loyalty points accumulated by the Customer can be viewed directly on his personal account on the Website. The Customer is informed that the update of the loyalty counter is not done in real time.
The LAST loyalty program allows the Customer to benefit from loyalty discounts that can be used for his next Orders on the Website.

- 5% loyalty discount on the next Order from 200 loyalty points
- 10% loyalty discount on the next Order from 400 loyalty points;

- 20% loyalty discount on the next Order from 800 loyalty points;
When a loyalty discount level is reached, the Customer will automatically receive an email from LAST informing him that he can benefit from the corresponding loyalty discount. He will also be sent the promotional code to enter during their next Order to use their loyalty discount. The loyalty discount as well as the promotional code are valid as long as the corresponding loyalty points are valid. However, when the Customer reaches a new loyalty discount level, the promotional code relating to the loyalty discount of the previous level expires.
The use of a loyalty discount cannot be combined with any other promotional operation in progress on the Website for the same Order.
Loyalty points and the corresponding loyalty discount used when placing a new Order are automatically deducted from the Customer's loyalty balance.
Neither the points accumulated nor the loyalty discounts of the Customer can be transferred.

b. LAST Referral Program
The LAST Referral Program is a Program allowing the Customer to sponsor a person making a first Order on the Website so that the new sponsored Customer and him can benefit from a loyalty discount on their Orders.
Any Customer may invite a person of his choice to discover the Products by sending him an email or message in which he will copy the sponsorship link made available to him by LAST on his personal account on the Site. When this person clicks on the referral link sent by the Customer, the Site will launch so that he creates a Customer account and makes a first Order. When validating the creation of an account, the referral will be automatically taken into account and the sponsored customer will find their promo code in their Loyalty Program area. He must then enter this code when finalizing his order to benefit from the discount.
For each new sponsored Customer, the Customer may benefit from a loyalty discount of ten (10) euros which can be used on his next Order on the Site.
The new sponsored Customer will be able to benefit from a loyalty discount of ten (10) euros directly usable on his first Order on the Site.
The Customer will receive an information email from LAST providing them with the promotional code to enter when placing an Order to use their loyalty discount. The loyalty discount as well as the promotional code are valid for a limited period of thirty (30) clear days from the sending of the information email by LAST.
The use of the loyalty discount cannot be combined with any other promotional operation in progress on the Site for the same Order.
No Customer loyalty discount can be assigned.
