Website: www.soleparis.co.nz

These Terms & Conditions govern your access to and use of our website, including purchases made through www.soleparis.co.nz and all related pages, services, features, and content.

By accessing our website, creating an account, or placing an order, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions and our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree with these Terms, you must not use this website.

1. Introduction

These Terms & Conditions, together with our Privacy Policy, govern your access to and use of the SOLE PARIS website, including all related pages, content, products, and services made available through our website.

In these Terms, "SOLE PARIS", "we", "us", and "our" mean SOLE PARIS, and "you" and "your" mean the user, customer, or visitor to our website.

By accessing our website, registering an account, or placing an order with us, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions.

We reserve the right to update or amend these Terms at any time by publishing the revised version on our website. The Terms in effect at the time an order is placed will apply to that purchase.

SOLE PARIS operates in accordance with New Zealand law, including:

  • Consumer Guarantees Act 1993
  • Fair Trading Act 1986
  • Privacy Act 2020

2. Eligibility to Purchase

You may only purchase products from our website if you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts under New Zealand law.

You agree that all billing, shipping, payment, and other information supplied when placing an order is accurate, complete, and current.

If purchasing on behalf of another person or using another person's payment method, you confirm that you have authority to do so.

We reserve the right to refuse service, reject orders, or cancel transactions where we reasonably believe an order breaches these Terms, is fraudulent, or is otherwise unsuitable for fulfilment.

3. Our Business Model

SOLE PARIS operates as a hybrid e-commerce business.

  • Selected products may be stocked locally in New Zealand.
  • Other products may be supplied through third-party suppliers, fulfilment partners, or drop-shipping arrangements.
  • Some products may ship directly from suppliers.
  • Items from the same order may arrive separately.
  • Packaging, labels, branding, or presentation may vary depending on supplier or fulfilment source.

We do not manufacture every product sold through our website and do not physically inspect every item before dispatch.

4. Product Information and Product Variations

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product descriptions, images, specifications, ingredients, and pricing displayed on our website are accurate at the time of publication.

You acknowledge that:

  • product images are for general illustrative purposes;
  • screen settings may affect how colours appear;
  • packaging, branding, labels, and presentation may vary;
  • specifications or ingredients may be updated by suppliers or manufacturers;
  • minor variations do not automatically mean an item is faulty or misrepresented.

Material differences, faults, damage, or quality issues will be assessed in accordance with these Terms and applicable New Zealand consumer law.

5. Stock Availability

All orders are subject to stock availability and acceptance.

Products shown as available may be held directly by us, available through third-party suppliers, or available through fulfilment partners.

If an item becomes unavailable after ordering, we may:

  • cancel the order and issue a refund;
  • offer store credit;
  • offer an exchange for a similar item;
  • contact you with another resolution.

Products placed in your shopping cart are not reserved until payment has been received and the order accepted.

6. Order Acceptance

An acknowledgement email does not necessarily mean an order has been accepted.

An order is accepted once it has been processed and dispatch confirmed, or acceptance is otherwise confirmed by us.

We may reject, suspend, or cancel an order before dispatch where:

  • payment cannot be verified;
  • stock is unavailable;
  • a pricing or listing error exists;
  • shipping restrictions apply;
  • fraud is suspected;
  • supplier or fulfilment issues arise.

7. Pricing and Currency

All prices displayed are in New Zealand Dollars (NZD) unless otherwise stated.

Prices may change without notice. The price payable is generally the price displayed when the order is placed, except where an obvious pricing error occurs.

If a pricing error is identified, we may cancel and refund the order or contact you with the correct price.

Shipping and other applicable fees may be additional and shown at checkout.

8. Payment

Available payment methods may include Visa, Mastercard, Afterpay, and other methods displayed on our website.

By placing an order, you confirm:

  • you are authorised to use the payment method;
  • payment details are valid and correct;
  • payment remains subject to verification and authorisation.

Payments are processed through trusted third-party payment gateways. If payment authorisation fails, we may refuse or cancel the order.

9. Shipping and Delivery

Shipping costs, where applicable, are displayed at checkout.

Estimated delivery timeframes may vary because of:

  • stock source;
  • supplier handling;
  • courier processing;
  • customs clearance;
  • weather;
  • public holidays;
  • peak periods;
  • other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Orders may arrive in multiple parcels, and some products may ship directly from suppliers.

Delivery timeframes are estimates only and are not guaranteed.

10. Tracking Information

Tracking details may be provided where available but are not guaranteed for every order or supplier.

Tracking may take time to update after dispatch and may only become available once a parcel has progressed through part of the delivery network.

Failure to provide tracking information does not automatically mean an order has not been shipped.

11. Returns, Exchanges, and Change of Mind

11.1 Change of Mind

Change-of-mind return or exchange requests must be made within 5 days of delivery.

Any approved change-of-mind return must generally meet the following conditions:

  • the item is unused;
  • the item remains in original condition;
  • original packaging is retained;
  • proof of purchase is provided;
  • the item is returned within the approved timeframe.

Clearance, sale, personalised, hygiene-sensitive, opened cosmetic or skincare products, and other non-returnable items may not be eligible.

Return shipping costs for change-of-mind returns are generally the customer's responsibility.

11.2 Exchanges

Exchanges are subject to stock availability and our approval.

11.3 Returned Goods Condition

Returned goods must be adequately packaged and may be refused where the item:

  • has been used;
  • has been damaged after delivery;
  • is missing original packaging or accessories;
  • has been opened, altered, or contaminated;
  • is no longer suitable for resale.

12. Faulty, Damaged, Incorrect, or Not-As-Described Products

If you believe a product is faulty, damaged on arrival, materially incorrect, or not consistent with its core description, please contact us as soon as reasonably possible.

Please provide:

  • your order number;
  • a clear description of the issue;
  • clear photographs or video;
  • any additional information reasonably requested by us.

We may require inspection or return before confirming a remedy.

Possible remedies may include:

  • repair;
  • replacement;
  • store credit;
  • refund;
  • another remedy required by law.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 where applicable.

13. Cosmetic and Skincare Products

Cosmetic and skincare products may vary slightly in colour, consistency, fragrance, packaging, or appearance between batches.

  • product appearance may vary slightly;
  • ingredients or packaging may be updated;
  • results may vary between individuals;
  • customers should always read labels, ingredients, and directions before use.

Customers should discontinue use and seek professional advice if irritation occurs.

14. Supplier and Manufacturer Responsibility

Some products sold through our website are sourced from third-party suppliers or manufacturers.

Where appropriate, we may assist with communication or resolution with a supplier or manufacturer.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude any non-excludable consumer rights available under New Zealand law.

We do not intentionally disclose sensitive payment information to suppliers or fulfilment partners.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services.

We do not control or accept responsibility for their content, availability, products, services, or privacy practices.

Use of third-party websites is at your own risk.

20. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SOLE PARIS excludes liability for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss.

Where legally permitted, our total liability relating to a product or order is limited to the amount paid for that product or order.
