Products

Products Perfectibility of Man offers are those as they appear on the Sites at the time the Customer implements their order subject to those Products being available. Notwithstanding any evidence the Customer may have in writing, it is expressly agreed that data registered in Perfectibility of Man’s IT systems, those of its hosting partners or Internet payment partners alone shall constitute evidence of the communications, the content of the orders and the entire transactions which have taken place between the Parties. To place an order, the Customer goes to the heading of their choice, chooses the product, color and size they wish to receive and then click on ‘Add to cart’. This puts the article selected in the ‘Cart’. The Customer can correct their order as long as they are in the ‘Cart’. If the Customer wishes to confirm their order, they must select a delivery and payment method. The total amount that must be paid is stated clearly throughout the whole of the billing process. Once the payment process is completed, the order is now final and cannot now be changed.

The Customer will be sent an initial e-mail confirming their order once they have made their purchase in any case. They will then get a second e-mail when their order is dispatched. All contractual details of the order will be communicated to the Customer when they registered at the time they confirmed their order.

Should Products be found to be unavailable and the Customer is informed of this but they have already paid for their Products, Perfectibility of Man will ask its bank to refund the amount paid for the products in question immediately, informing the Customer by e-mail accordingly. How fast the refund is actually made depends on how the Customer chose to pay when making their purchase. If they paid by credit card, the refund will appear on the next following monthly statement for that credit card.
