5.2. The price of a Product includes VAT at the applicable rate chargeable in the UK on the date of the order. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.
5.3. In the event that you are using a valid promotional code provided by SKINCEUTICALS, this cannot be used in conjunction with another offer or promotion.
5.4. The price invoiced to you is the price stated on the Dispatch Confirmation (as defined below) sent via email by SKINCEUTICALS.
5.5. The prices given do not include the delivery costs, which will be invoiced in addition and specified to you before the order is confirmed and when the order is definitively validated.
5.6. You accept SKINCEUTICALS’s right to modify its prices at any time, however the Products will be invoiced on the basis of the tariffs in force when the order is recorded, subject to the availability of such Products. The tariff in force is that stated on the Website, unless there is a typographical error.
5.7. Our Website contains a large number of Products. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Products on our Website may be incorrectly priced. If we discover an error in the price of the Products you have ordered we will contact you to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing at the postal address provided during the order process.
Please note that if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect price.

A. Arbitration of Claims.
You and Apple Payments mutually agree that anydispute, claim, or controversy (whether based incontract,tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory)arising out ofor relating to these Direct Payments Terms orthe breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitration, or to the use of the Direct Payments Service (hereinafter “Claim” or “Claims”)shall be settledby binding arbitration before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall beadministered by JAMS in accordancewith the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules”) in effect on the date the arbitration is filed, and will be governed by the JAMS Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness (the “JAMS Minimum Consumer Standards”). Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitratormay be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitrator can award any damages or relief on your individual claim that a court of law could, including individual injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees when available under the governing law. The arbitrator will also be empowered to determine the arbitrability of any Claim. Any Claim will be decided by an arbitrator, rather than by a judge or jury, and an arbitration award will be final and binding on you and Apple Payments, without any right of appeal. Court review of an arbitration award will be very limited. With the exception of Section C below, you and Apple Payments hereby waive the right to assert any Claim in any court. As set out in Section D below, all arbitrations will be conducted on an individual basis, and there shall be no class or collective actions in arbitration.
B. Other Claims Subject to Arbitration.
In addition to Claims brought by either you or Apple Payments, Claims made by or against an employee, agent, representative, affiliated company, or subsidiary of ApplePayments will be subject to arbitration as described herein.
C. Exceptions.
We agree not to invoke our right to arbitrate any individual Claim you bring in small claims court or an equivalent court with jurisdiction, so long as the Claim is pending only in that court. This arbitration provision does not limit or constrain Apple Payments’ right to interplead funds in the event of claims to funds associated with your Payment Account by several parties.
D. Individual Claims Only.
Claims may be submitted to arbitration on an individual basis only. Claims subject to this arbitration provision may not be joined or consolidated in arbitration with any Claim of any other person or be arbitrated on a class basis, in a representative capacity,on behalf of the general public, or on behalf of any other person, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing. You acknowledge and agree that you are waiving any ability to join or consolidate your Claim in arbitration with the Claim of any other person and to bring any Claim on a class basis, in a representative capacity, on behalf of the general public, or on behalf of any other person. Further, unless you and Apple Payments both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate your Claim with that of any other person, and may award relief only in favor of your individual Claim. The arbitrator may not award relief for or against any other party, whether directly or indirectly. If a court of competent jurisdiction deems this paragraph to be unenforceable with respect to any Claim, then the entirety of the Arbitration Notice (the “Notice”) will be deemed void with respect to such Claim. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Notice will survive any termination of these Direct Payments Terms. Related Apple Cash Accountsare considered as one person, and Apple Payments, its employees, officers, directors, agents, and affiliates are considered as one person. The arbitrator will be competent to determine the arbitrability of any Claim thatis attempted to be joined or consolidated in arbitration with the Claim of any other person or brought on a class basis, in a representative capacity, on behalf of the general public, or on behalf of any other person.
E. Arbitration Fees.
If you initiate arbitration, Apple Payments will advance any arbitration fees, including any required deposit. Apple Payments will also be responsible for payment and/or reimbursement of any arbitration fees which exceed either (1) the amount of filing fees you would have incurred if your Claim had been brought in the state or federal court nearest your residence with jurisdiction, or (2) US$ 250, whichever is lesser. If Apple Payments initiates or elects arbitration, Apple Payments will pay the entire amount of the arbitration fees, including any required deposit. Regardless of who initiates arbitration, Apple Payments will pay all other arbitration-related costs, including any remaining JAMS Case Management Fee and all professional fees for the arbitrator’s services.

You have the right to an in-person arbitration hearing for your Claim should you so choose. Any such hearing will take place within the federal judicial district in which you live,or in areasonably convenient location as agreed by the parties. The arbitration will be conducted in English. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorneywith at least ten years of experienceand will be selected by the parties; provided, however,that if the parties are unableto agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then JAMS will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity, but may not grant any form of relief identified in Section D above without the express written consent of both parties. Discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the dispute will be allowed, keeping in mind the reasonable need for the requested information, the availability of other discovery options, and the burdensomeness of the request on the opposing party. The arbitrator’s award will address all claims properly brought before the arbitrator and will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. This arbitration provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and will be governed by the FAA. You may obtain copies of the current JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules, forms, and instructions for initiating an arbitration with JAMS by contacting JAMS online at www.jamsadr.com.

1. We shall not be responsible if you are unable to use your Pay in 3 Plan or should we be unable to carry out any of our obligations under this Agreement due to:
our compliance with applicable laws or regulation; or abnormal and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our reasonable control, the effects of which would have been unavoidable despite our efforts to the contrary.
2. You cannot use a claim against a merchant as a reason for not making repayments to us unless you have a legal right to do so.
7. Communication
1. By derogation from your PayPal User Agreement, any notice to be provided to you by us under this Agreement will be exclusively sent by posting it on the PayPal website(s) (including the posting of information which is only accessed by logging into your Account), emailing it to the email address listed in your Account, calling you by phone, or sending you a “text” / SMS message.
2. If we have reasonable grounds for believing that you have changed your email and postal addresses, for example because our correspondence is returned to us, we may instruct agents to trace you.
3. You can contact us online at www.paypal.com/uk by selecting ‘Help’ and then ‘Contact us’.
8. Changing this Agreement
1. We may change any term of this Agreement where the change is necessary to make the Agreement fairer to you or easier to understand or reflects a change in relevant laws or regulation. Unless prohibited from doing so by law or regulation, we may make the change immediately and tell you about it within sixty (60) calendar days.
2. If you apply for and are offered further Pay in 3 Plans, those Plans will be subject to the terms that apply as at the date of the relevant Pay in 3 Plan, which may differ from the terms of this Agreement. You are responsible for ensuring that you are familiar with the terms of each Pay in 3 Plan you enter into.
9. Termination
1. This Agreement shall automatically terminate once the Loan Amount is repaid in full.
2. We may terminate this Agreement and the related Pay in 3 Plan and demand immediate repayment of the full amount you owe us if: we find out that our decision to lend to you was based on inaccurate, misleading or incomplete information;

c. we have a reasonable belief that you no longer have the ability to control your account, including if you are deceased or of unsound mind;
d. you have broken the terms of another agreement with us (including other Pay in 3 Plans or a PayPal Credit agreement);

f. if you close or attempt to close your PayPal account.

10. General
1. The laws of England and Wales apply to this Agreement and any dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
2. PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. (a limited liability partnership registered at the companies register of Luxembourg under number B 118 349, having its registered office at 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449, Luxembourg) is duly licensed as a Luxembourg credit institution and is under the prudential supervision of the Luxembourg supervisory authority, the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier, with registered office in L-2449 Luxembourg.
3. This Agreement contains the whole agreement between us and you regarding your Pay in 3 Plan and supersedes and replaces any prior written or oral agreements, representations or understandings between us and you in relation to this Agreement. Each party confirms that it has not entered into this Agreement on the basis of any representation that is not expressly incorporated in this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any provision of the PayPal User Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
4. You acknowledge and agree that any liability that we may have in connection with your PayPal Account and the PayPal products and services we may provide to you from time to time may be subject to write-down and conversion powers by a competent regulatory authority that supervises us, notwithstanding any term of any other agreement or arrangement between us. This is due to a requirement in a European Union Directive (2014/59/EU) (as transposed into relevant national law) which provides regulatory authorities with such powers to manage the resolution of relevant financial institutions like PayPal. These powers are intended to avoid or reduce the need for governments and taxpayers to bail out relevant failing financial institutions.
5. By your use of your PayPal Account and any PayPal products and services, you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the effect of such write-down and conversion powers, which include (among others) (a) a reduction, in full or in part, of any amounts that may be due by PayPal to you; (b) a conversion of all, or part of, any such liability into shares in PayPal; (c) a cancellation of any such liability; and (d) a variation of any term of our relevant agreement(s) in connection with your PayPal Account and any PayPal products and services with a view to enable the effective exercise of these powers. For example, the money that PayPal owes you may be converted into PayPal shares instead of being paid to you in cash.

12. Data Protection
Please refer to our Privacy Statement at https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full for more information about how PayPal processes your personal data.
If you want to exercise your data protection rights or have any questions about our Privacy Statement, PayPal's data protection practices, or your PayPal Pay in 3 application, you can contact us online at www.paypal.com/uk by selecting ‘Help’ and then ‘Contact us’, or by writing to us at the following email address [email protected] or at PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A Société en Commandite par Actions 22-24 Boulevard Royal L-2449, Luxembourg.
The details you provide in your application form help us make responsible lending decisions. We ensure the security of your personal data.
For credit decisions and the prevention of fraud and money laundering, we may use credit reference and fraud prevention agencies (“FPAs”) to help us make decisions.
When you apply to us to open a Pay in 3 Plan, we will check the following records about you:
• Any PayPal data that we currently hold in relation to you.
• Potentially, those at credit reference agencies (“CRAs”). The identities of the CRAs, and the ways in which they use and share personal information, are explained in more detail at:
www.transunion.co.uk/crain
www.equifax.co.uk/crain
www.experian.co.uk/crain
Information on applications will be sent to CRAs and will be recorded by them. Where you borrow from us, we will give details of your Pay in 3 Plans and how you manage them to CRAs. If you do not repay in full and on time, CRAs will record the outstanding debt. This information may be supplied to other organisations by CRAs and FPAs to perform similar checks and to trace your whereabouts and recover debts that you owe. Records remain on file for 6 years after they are closed, whether settled by you or defaulted.
If you provide false or inaccurate information and we suspect or identify fraud, we will record this and will pass this information to FPAs and other organisations involved in fraud and money laundering prevention.
