Customs

If your order is to be delivered outside the European Union, it may attract import duty and local sales taxes which customers will need to pay on receipt of the shipment.

These rules vary by country and your local government determines duty and customs charges, so you should contact your local customs office for further information.

No provision of these Terms shall affect your statutory rights.

Gift Certificates are valid for 2 years from the date of issue. Gift Certificates are issued at the discretion of Pourquoi Pas, who reserves the right to cancel or suspend the Gift Certificate at any time if they have reason to suspect misuse.

If the value of a Gift Certificate exceeds the total order value, the Buyer will receive store credit to be redeemed against subsequent orders placed on the Site.

If the value of a Gift Certificate is less than the total value of an order, any store credit on the Buyer’s account will automatically be redeemed to cover the remaining balance.

All remaining balances exceeding the value of the Buyer’s Gift Certificate or store credit must be paid by credit or debit card.

The Recipient of the Gift Certificate is responsible for ensuring that the Gift certificate is kept secure, and Pourquoi Pas shall not be held responsible if a Gift Certificate is lost, stolen, destroyed or used without permission.

If a Buyer returns Goods purchased using a Gift Certificate, Pourquoi Pas will credit the Buyer’s account with the total value of the purchase.
