1) General Information

All orders for goods made through Beiersdorf UK Ltd’s ("Beiersdorf", "us", "we") website at www.NIVEA.co.uk ("NIVEA E-Shop"), are subject to these General Terms and Conditions ("GTC"). These GTC govern our relationship with you. We may change these GTC at any time, so please regularly check for updates. The version of these GTC published at the time of your order will apply to that order only. We last updated these GTC on January 1st 2021. 

If you have any queries or complaints regarding the NIVEA E-Shop, or these GTC, please contact us

www.NIVEA.co.uk may be used only for lawful purposes and in a lawful manner. You agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the NIVEA E-Shop, and any transactions conducted on or through it. 

 

2) Our contract with you

You can choose goods from the assortment available on the NIVEA E-Shop, and add them to the shopping basket by clicking the button "Add". By sending us an order request by clicking on the button "Buy now", you make a binding offer to purchase the goods added to the shopping basket. Before sending the order, you can view and make changes to the order at any time. Changes can be entered in the shopping basket and saved for the subsequent order process. 

Upon receipt of your order, we will confirm receipt of that order on screen and list the details of it via the NIVEA E-Shop. This confirmation does not constitute an acceptance of your offer, but only informs you that we have received your order. 

A contract between you and Beiersdorf for the purchase of the goods will only come into existence only once you have received an order acceptance sent to you by separate e-mail. If we are not able to accept your order, for example because the goods are out of stock or because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, we are not obliged to accept your order and can refuse to accept it accordingly. In that case, a contract will not come into existence. We will inform you immediately if we are unable to accept your order, and, if applicable, refund any payments already made. 

If the information on the goods (e.g. price etc.) in the NIVEA E-Shop is incorrect despite careful checking by us, we may refuse to accept your order as above, but make you a new offer instead based on the correct information, which you are free to accept or reject. 

We keep copies of each contract. The contract language is English. We will send you a copy of the GTC that apply to your order with the confirmation email. You can view the current version of these GTC at any time on our website:  www.NIVEA.co.uk.

Please be aware that the images of goods and packaging on the NIVEA E- Shop are for illustrative purposes only and there may be minor deviations to them.

All displayed prices are in Pound Sterling (GBP) including VAT, and do not include delivery costs. The prices displayed on the order page at the time of order applies in each case. The cost of delivery will be displayed to you on the NIVEA Online Shop. You receive FREE standard delivery on orders of £30 and over.

Payment must be made by credit card (MasterCard or Visa) or debit card. Payment by sending cash or cheques is not possible. All card payments are handled by our partners Adyen. After successful completion of the payment process, the amount equal to the purchase price, plus delivery charges will be debited from your bank account. You must pay for the goods and delivery costs before we dispatch them. 
We will take payment at the time you place your order but please note that this doesn't mean that we have accepted your order. 
If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the goods, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the goods in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

6) Delivery

We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the goods is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimize the effect of the delay. Provided we do this, we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any goods you have paid for but not received.

If after a failed delivery to you (caused by your failure to take delivery), you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot, we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract. Please see our FAQ here for more information on failed deliveries.

The goods offered in the NIVEA E-Shop are only sold for consumer use. You are obliged to use the goods for private purposes only. Commercial resale of the ordered goods is not permitted. Beiersdorf reserve the right not to accept orders which give the impression that they are made for the purpose of commercial resale of the goods. If a contract has already been concluded between Beiersdorf and you, we reserve the right to terminate it with immediate effect and to exclude you from purchasing our products in future. 

12) Our responsibility for loss of damage suffered by you

We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these GTC, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking a 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. 

We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. 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 goods, and for defective goods.

We may transfer our rights and obligations under a contract to another organisation, as long as that has no adverse effect on your rights under that contract. 

You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under a contract to another person if we agree to this in writing.

Each of the clauses of these GTC operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect.

If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these GTC, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking a 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. 

A contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms. 

These GTC are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the goods in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the goods in either the Scottish or the English courts.
