5 Products, Descriptions & Availability

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that Product descriptions, images, and other information on the Website are accurate and up to date. However, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • Colors, textures, and appearances of Products may vary slightly from how they appear on your device screen, due to display settings and lighting conditions.
  • Product specifications, formulas, packaging, and availability may change from time to time due to updates from suppliers or regulatory requirements within Europe.
  • All Product offers are subject to availability. We may limit the quantities of any Products offered and reserve the right to discontinue any Product at any time.

We do not guarantee that all Products described on the Website will be available at all times. Any typographical, photographic, or technical errors in Product information may be corrected without prior notice.

6 Pricing, Currency & Taxes

All prices displayed on the Website are shown in the currency indicated on the Website, typically euros (EUR), unless stated otherwise.

  • We reserve the right to change prices at any time without prior notice. However, the price displayed at the time of your Order will apply to that specific Order.
  • Prices may include or exclude applicable taxes, duties, or VAT depending on your location and the applicable regulations. Any additional fees will be clearly presented at checkout where reasonably possible.
  • Shipping costs, if applicable, will be displayed separately and added to your total before you confirm your Order.

In the event of an obvious pricing error (for example, a significantly incorrect or unrealistic price), we are not obliged to fulfill the Order at the incorrect price. We reserve the right to cancel such Orders, inform you, and refund any payments already made.

7 Payment Methods & Processing

We offer secure payment options through trusted third-party payment service providers. Accepted payment methods typically include:

  • PayPal

By submitting your payment information, you confirm that:

  • You are authorized to use the selected payment method.
  • The payment details provided are valid, correct, and complete.

All payments are subject to validation checks and authorization by the relevant payment service provider. If a payment is refused, declined, or flagged as suspicious, we may:

  • Cancel the Order and refund any payments already made, where applicable.

8 Orders, Acceptance & Contract Formation

By placing an Order on the Website, you make a binding offer to purchase the selected Products under these Terms. The ordering process generally involves:

  • Selecting one or more Products and adding them to your cart.
  • Reviewing your cart, providing required information, and selecting the shipping method.
  • Confirming your acceptance of these Terms.
  • Submitting your Order and completing payment.

After you place an Order, you may receive an Order confirmation via email or other communication channels. This confirmation acknowledges receipt of your Order but does not necessarily constitute our acceptance of your offer.

A binding contract between you and Verde Oro is formed when:

  • We explicitly confirm acceptance of your Order via email or through the Website; or
  • We dispatch the Products to you and send a dispatch or shipping confirmation.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to refuse, cancel, or limit any Order, including but not limited to cases involving:

  • Product unavailability or stock issues;
  • Errors in product information or pricing;
  • Suspicion of fraud, misuse, or violation of these Terms;
  • Incorrect or incomplete billing or shipping details.

9 Shipping, Delivery, Risk & Title

We work with reputable shipping partners within Europe to deliver your Orders. Estimated delivery times and shipping fees will be displayed at checkout and may vary depending on your location and the chosen shipping method.

  • We aim to process and dispatch Orders within a reasonable time frame (for example, 1–3 business days), subject to Product availability and operational capacity.
  • Delivery times are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. Delays may occur due to customs, carrier issues, adverse weather, public holidays, or other factors beyond our reasonable control.
  • You are responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address and ensuring that someone is available to receive the shipment, where required.

The risk of loss or damage to the Products passes to you when the Products are delivered to the address you provided, or to a designated pick-up point as agreed. Title to the Products passes to you only once we have received full payment for the Products and any applicable shipping charges.

10 Inspection on Delivery, Returns & Exchanges

Upon delivery, you are responsible for promptly inspecting the Products for any visible damage, defects, or discrepancies. If you notice any issue, you should contact us within a reasonable period, providing:

  • Your Order number and contact details;
  • A clear description of the issue; and
  • Photographs of the Product and packaging, where applicable.

Returns and exchanges are governed by our separate Return & Refund Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms. The Return & Refund Policy sets out the conditions, timeframes, and procedures for returning or exchanging Products.

Certain Products may not be eligible for return due to hygiene, safety, or logistical reasons. Where possible, such conditions will be clearly indicated on the relevant Product page.

11 Promotions, Discount Codes & Vouchers

From time to time, we may offer promotions, discount codes, vouchers, or other special offers (collectively, “Promotions”). Promotions may be subject to additional terms and conditions, which will be communicated separately.

  • Promotions are typically valid only for the specific period stated and cannot be applied retroactively to previous Orders.
  • Unless otherwise indicated, only one discount code may be used per Order.
  • Promotions may be limited to certain Products, categories, or minimum Order values.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or cancel any Promotion at our discretion, particularly in cases of suspected misuse, abuse, or fraud.
