General terms and conditions Janssen Cosmetics

1. Scope of application

This Online Shop is for end-users (consumers), for retailers and resellers (salons & spas) as well as for wholesalers (distributors).

The following terms and conditions apply to all orders via our online shop. They apply to all orders originated from Germany, France and Great Britain.

Orders from other countries are not delivered by Janssen Cosmetics GmbH (Germany), the order will be forwarded to the corresponding representative of that country. At the moment of the conclusion of the order, the purchaser is informed by a pop-up notification of the representative for his country.

The following conditions are therefore only applicable for orders from Germany, France and Great Britain.

2. Contracting party, conclusion of contract

The purchase contract is concluded with Janssen Cosmetics GmbH. The presentation of the products in the online shop does not constitute a legally binding offer, but a non-binding online catalogue. You can initially place our products, without further obligation into the shopping cart and correct your entries before sending your binding order at any time by using the tools provided for this in the order process and as explained by correction aids. By clicking the order button, you place a binding order of the goods contained in the shopping cart. The confirmation of the receipt of your order is made by e-mail immediately after sending the order.

The moment when the purchase contract comes into effect, depends on the type of payment chosen by you:

PayPal Plus
As part of the PayPal Plus Payment Services, we offer various payment methods. After placing the order, you will be redirected to the PayPal website. There you can specify your payment data and confirm payment instructions to PayPal. This concludes the contract with us.

3. Contract language, contract renewal

The language available for the contract is either German or English or French or Dutch. We store the contract text and send you the order data together with our GTC by e-mail. You can also view and download the terms and conditions on this page at any time. You can view your past orders in your customer account in our online shop.

4. Registration

Consumers can order in the shop without registering an account. They always see the consumer prices including VAT. However, consumers are still free to register and to open an account, as this will offer them certain advantages and perks.

Retailers (such as beauty institutes, spas, wellness centers or other institutions of professional cosmetics) have to register first and to open an account. The registration will be verified and the tax-number will be requested. If the verification process is successful, the retailer will receive an account number from Janssen Cosmetics and will be allocated all relevant parameters (region, representative number, salon purchase price tax excluded, tax system and tax rate depending on the country) and the registration will then be confirmed. Once the registration is confirmed, the customer will see the product catalogue for retailers, i.e. items for retail sales, salon items for professional use and free of charge promotional items.

Wholesalers or distributors must also register. The procedure is identical to that of the retailers, but the characteristics of the customer number and above all the prices are different.

5. Product Catalogue

The product catalog of the website Janssen-Cosmetics.Com contains all products of Janssen Cosmetics, products for retail sale to end users as well as products for professional use in beauty salons, spas or other professional institutions where cosmetic treatment services are delivered. Consumers have access to the consumer items only.

Retailers have access to the consumer items, but also to the so-called professional salon items which are only for the use in the cosmetics cabin, but not for resale. In addition, the retailers also have access to the so-called promotional items. These are specific sales promotion products used by the retailer in his salon, such as posters, decoration material, product knowledge materials and treatment protocols; or product samples and information brochures/flyers or gift items intended for free distribution to the consumer.

Wholesalers also have access to all three product types: consumer items, professional salon items and promotional items.

If you want to know more about the products or want to buy them, you can do so as consumer, as retailer (beauty institute) or as wholesaler (distributor).
