Payment is successfully authorised;

QKDEU issues an order confirmation;
-
Goods are dispatched to the provided delivery address.
QKDEU reserves the right to decline any order for reasons including pricing errors, stock limitations, regulatory restrictions, suspected fraud, or incomplete customer information. Should an order be declined after payment, a full refund will be issued.
6. Product Information, Authenticity, and Descriptions
QKDEU is committed to providing precise, accurate, and comprehensive product descriptions. All products sold through Our Website are 100% authentic and sourced through legitimate channels. While every effort is made to represent product images, descriptions, and specifications accurately, minor variations in packaging, colour, or format may occur.
QKDEU does not warrant that descriptions, images, pricing, ingredient lists, or documentation are free from errors, omissions, or typographical inaccuracies. In the event of any discrepancy, your sole remedy shall be to return the product in accordance with our Refund & Returns Policy.
7. Pricing, Taxes, and Payment Terms
Product prices displayed on Our Website are presented in the relevant currency and include Value Added Tax (VAT) where legally applicable. Additional taxes, import duties, or international levies may apply depending on your jurisdiction.

8. Order Processing and Acceptance
Orders placed through Our Website are processed in the sequence received and are subject to availability. QKDEU reserves the right to conduct identity verification, address confirmation, or additional fraud checks before processing an order. Orders may be rejected or delayed if inconsistencies, high-risk indicators, or incomplete information are detected.
Order confirmation emails serve as acknowledgement of receipt, not acceptance. Acceptance occurs only when goods are dispatched. QKDEU may, at any time and without prior notice, limit quantities, refuse transactions, or impose restrictions based on operational requirements or legal obligations.
9. Shipping, Delivery, and Risk of Loss
QKDEU ships products globally through reputable carriers such as Royal Mail, international couriers, Amazon fulfilment partners, eBay logistics services, and other logistics providers.
Shipping times displayed on Our Website are estimates only and may vary due to customs processes, international transit delays, operational constraints, or unforeseen circumstances. QKDEU shall not be liable for delays outside its control.
Risk of loss and title to the goods transfer to the customer upon successful delivery to the address provided. Customers are responsible for ensuring accurate delivery details. QKDEU bears no liability for non-delivery due to incorrect or incomplete address information.
10. Returns, Refunds, and Exchanges
All returns, refunds, and exchanges are governed by the QKDEU Refund & Returns Policy. For hygiene and safety reasons, QKDEU reserves the right to decline returns of opened, unsealed, or used fragrances, in accordance with consumer protection laws relating to cosmetic and personal care products.
QKDEU may issue refunds or replacements solely at its discretion and only when conditions defined within the official policy are satisfied.

These technologies may analyse browsing behaviour, purchasing patterns, geographical indicators, and device identifiers to prevent fraud, personalise content, or recommend products. QKDEU also reserves the right to adopt future technological innovations—including AI models, predictive engines, biometric authentication, and advanced security architectures—to enhance ongoing business operations.
Where legally required, users may request human review of decisions generated by automated systems.
