Without limiting the above, we reserve the right to refuse or reduce the quantity of any orders that we reasonably believe are for the purposes of resale or otherwise may result in a violation of these terms and conditions, as determined by us in our sole discretion.

Except where prohibited by law, we may limit the number of Products or Treatments available for purchase by any one customer, including without limitation so that as many customers as possible may enjoy our Products and Treatments.

In the event of the requested Products or Treatments being unavailable, we may cancel the transaction and effect a full refund.

USE OF PRODUCTS

By purchasing our Products, you acknowledge that you are bound by these terms and conditions and agree to use the Products only for their intended purpose and strictly in accordance with the Products instructions, precautions and guidelines. Any other use will cause you to assume full responsibility for any loss or damage arising from their use.

Once the pre-authorisation is processed, we will then instruct your financial institution to cancel the pre-authorisation. Please note that no funds are taken from your account at pre-authorisation, but a temporary ‘hold’ is placed on them. Once we have cancelled the pre-authorisation, it may take up to 7 days for your financial institution to release the funds before you are able to access them.

CREDIT CARD STORAGE

If you purchase Products or Treatments through our website or in our clinic, we may store your credit card details.

PROVISION OF INFORMATION

In order for us to provide our Products and Treatments to you, you may be required to complete and submit a client consent form. In some cases, we may be able to provide a limited range of Treatments to you if you do not wish to provide the information required to complete a client consent form, however we retain the right to refuse to provide our Products and Treatments Treatments to you in our absolute discretion.

In order to complete the client consent form, you will be required to provide us with a range of information about yourself including without limitation information about your health, medical conditions, treatment history, family health history, diet and lifestyle. By completing the client consent form, you warrant and represent that the information you provide to us is true and correct in all material respects and that you have provided all relevant information. Further, you acknowledge and agree that we accept no liability for any loss or damage that you suffer as a result of providing us with incorrect information or in connection with a failure to provide us with all relevant information in the client consent form.

PRIVACY

We collect personal information directly from clients or potential future clients when they personally complete and submit a client consent form, purchase Products or Treatments from us, or use our website.

We collect personal information when a Product or Treatment is purchased in order to provide the requested treatment, provide updated information, and advise which other Treatments may be of interest to you. You do not need to provide us with personal information, however this may result in us being unable to provide a Product or Treatment to you.

You acknowledge the basis on which (and purposes for which) we may collect your personal information and authorise such collection in accordance with the terms of our Privacy Policy from time to time. You must ensure that the personal information you provide is accurate and complete and that all ordering or registration details (where applicable) contain your correct name, address and other requested details. You agree not to provide misleading, deceptive or false information and that you indemnify us against any claims made against us as a result of your non-compliance with these terms.

For more information about how we deal with your personal information, please review our privacy policy on our website.

SENSITIVE INFORMATION

We may collect information disclosed to us about your physical and mental health and well-being (‘Sensitive Information’).

We will only ever use Sensitive Information for providing Treatments to customers. Sensitive Information will not be used or disclosed for any other purpose without consent, except where disclosure may be required by law or is necessary to protect the rights or property of Skinsentials, a related company, any member of the public, or to lessen a serious threat to a person’s health or safety.

BREACH AND TERMINATION

If, in our reasonable opinion, you have breached any provision of this Agreement we may immediately issue a warning or temporarily suspend or permanently prevent your access to any or all of our clinics and/or all or parts of our website. In any event, we may terminate the Agreement (and your rights to use our website) at any time and for any reason without prior notice to you.

GIFT CARDS & VOUCHERS

The following conditions apply to the use of gift cards and gift vouchers issued by Skinsentials. By purchasing or using a gift voucher with us you agree to be bound by these conditions.

Our gift cards:

• are redeemable only for merchandise or Treatments sold by us and only prior to the date of expiry;
• expire 36 months after date of purchase and will be void and no longer redeemable after that date;
• must have the serial number printed on the voucher in order for the voucher to be valid. We may permit you to use a gift voucher without the original voucher if you have the serial number, however we may refuse to do so in our absolute discretion; and
• cannot be redeemed for cash, returned for a refund, have their balances consolidated to a new gift voucher, or be replaced after expiry.

After a gift voucher has expired, it is no longer valid and all transactions attempted using the voucher will be declined. Upon expiry of a gift voucher all of Skinsentials’ obligations to redeem unused value for merchandise or Treatments are automatically satisfied in full and fully discharged.

You should treat a gift voucher like cash. Defaced, mutilated, altered, lost or stolen gift vouchers will not be replaced, refunded or redeemed.

Purchases exceeding the available balance will require the difference to be paid by other means.

Anyone holding the gift voucher can use its value to make purchases so your gift voucher should be kept secure. If your gift voucher is lost or stolen, you should immediately report this to the Skinsentials clinic from which it was purchased. We may be able to stop gift voucher value being used, but we take no responsibility and are not liable for any loss suffered by you as a result of a lost or stolen gift voucher.

We may replace a faulty, lost or stolen gift voucher in our absolute discretion. Any replacement gift voucher will have the same unused value (at the time of replacement) and expiry date. Gift vouchers will be void if they are defaced, mutilated, altered or tampered with in any way. We may subject gift vouchers to verification and security checks in our absolute discretion.

We may cancel any gift voucher, or the gift voucher scheme, for any reason at any time without notice. If so, we may either provide a refund or a replacement gift voucher of equivalent value unless we reasonably suspect fraud in relation to a gift voucher.

PREPAID TREATMENTS

We may offer you the ability to purchase one or multiple Treatments prior to you receiving those treatments (‘Prepaid Treatment’).

Pre-paid treatments/ services and service packages are not transferrable to other individuals or clinics and must be redeemed at the clinic they were purchased from.

Our Prepaid Laser Hair Removal Treatments expire on the date 18 months from the date of purchase. Our Prepaid Skin Treatments and Body Sculpting Treatments expire on the date 6 months from the date of purchase.

This policy is in place as Treatments forming a part of a Prepaid Treatment course are required to be undertaken regularly and consistently in order to achieve anticipated results. Upon expiry, all of Skinsentials’s obligations to provide the treatment that was prepaid are automatically satisfied in full and Skinsentials is fully discharged from providing such Prepaid Treatments.

ADD ON TREATMENTS

Add on Treatments must be redeemed with a full priced treatment and cannot be redeemed as a stand alone treatment.

COSMETIC INJECTABLES

All cosmetic injections require a booking made in advance and consultation with an Skinsentials nurse or doctor prior to treatment.

Initial consultations are complimentary. Some clinics may require a deposit to secure the consultation, however the deposit amount is fully refundable, whether you proceed with a treatment or not. Please note this amount is only refundable if client attends appointment. If client does not show, they will lose their deposit.

Cosmetic injectable treatments cannot be pre-paid.

The price per area treated will depend on the number of units required and the product used. For legal reasons, product names cannot be used in advertising. Please contact your closest Skinsentials for further information.

Cosmetic injectable package prices are based on specific products, up to a particular amount of ml or units. Your Skinsentials registered nurse or doctor will develop a tailored treatment plan for you and will advise if our packages are suitable for your goals.

Skinsentials reserves the right for our medical practitioners to determine suitable treatment for client and can refuse to treat at any time.

Before and after images are examples of results achieved for specific patients and not indicative of standard final results. Results will vary for each person, Skinsentials cannot guarantee longevity of product.
