This website and online store are operated under the Alimma Scents brand by Styles By Alimma.
Throughout these Terms of Service, references to “Alimma Scents”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the Alimma Scents store and, where legally applicable, Styles By Alimma as the business operating the store.
By visiting our website, purchasing a product or otherwise using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service together with any policies referenced on this website.
Please read these Terms carefully before accessing or using our website. If you do not agree with these Terms, you should not use the website or services.
1. Online Store Terms
By using this website, you represent that you are legally permitted to use the website and enter into transactions under the laws applicable to you.
You may not use our products, website or services for any illegal or unauthorized purpose or violate applicable laws while using our services.
You must not transmit viruses, malicious code or any other material intended to damage, disrupt or interfere with the website or services.
2. General Conditions
We reserve the right to refuse or restrict service, orders or access to the website where reasonably necessary, subject to applicable law.
You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any portion of our website or services without our written permission, except where permitted by law.
3. Product Information
We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate descriptions, photographs, prices, sizes, fragrance notes, ingredients and other product information.
However, product information may originate from manufacturers, distributors or suppliers and may occasionally be updated or changed.
We reserve the right to correct errors, inaccuracies or omissions in product information where necessary.
4. Fragrance Descriptions & Notes
Fragrance descriptions, scent families, top notes, heart notes, base notes and similar information are provided to help customers understand the general character of a fragrance.
Such descriptions should not be interpreted as a guarantee that every person will perceive the fragrance in exactly the same way.
Fragrance perception is subjective and can be affected by individual skin chemistry, application, climate, environment and personal perception.
5. Fragrance Longevity, Projection & Performance
Statements about fragrance longevity, projection, sillage or performance are general guidance only unless expressly stated otherwise.
Performance can vary according to:
- Fragrance composition and concentration
- Skin type and skin chemistry
- Application method and quantity
- Temperature and humidity
- Storage conditions
- Individual perception
A fragrance performing differently from a customer's personal expectation does not by itself mean that the product is defective.
6. Skincare, Cosmetics & Beauty Products
Product descriptions for skincare, cosmetics and personal-care products are intended to provide general product information and are not medical advice.
Customers should review product ingredients, manufacturer instructions, warnings and intended use before applying a product.
Individual skin types and sensitivities vary. A product suitable for one person may not necessarily be suitable for another.
If irritation occurs, discontinue use. Customers with known allergies, sensitive skin, medical conditions or specific dermatological concerns should seek appropriate professional advice where necessary.
7. Product Images, Colours & Packaging
We make reasonable efforts to display products accurately.
However, colours and appearance may vary depending on screen settings, lighting and photography.
Manufacturers may also change bottle designs, boxes, labels, caps, cellophane, ingredient presentation or other packaging without prior notice.
Minor manufacturer packaging changes do not necessarily mean that the product received is different or defective.
8. Brands, Trademarks & Manufacturers
Alimma Scents sells products from a variety of independent fragrance, skincare and beauty brands.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, Alimma Scents and Styles By Alimma are independent retailers and are not the owners of third-party manufacturer trademarks, logos or brand names displayed in connection with those products.
All third-party trademarks, product names, logos and other intellectual-property rights remain the property of their respective owners.
9. Prices
Product prices are displayed on our website and may change from time to time.
Unless otherwise stated, prices on our Kenya store are generally displayed in Kenyan Shillings (KES / KSh).
We reserve the right to change product prices, promotions and discounts, subject to applicable law.
10. Product Availability
All products are subject to availability.
Products may have limited quantities and may sell out.
Adding an item to your shopping cart does not necessarily reserve that product until the order has been successfully completed and accepted.
11. Orders
We reserve the right to accept, reject, limit or cancel an order where reasonably necessary, including in cases involving:
- Product unavailability
- Incorrect pricing or product information
- Suspected fraud or unauthorized payment
- Unusual order quantities
- Delivery restrictions
- Technical or payment-processing errors
If we cancel an order after payment has been successfully received, an appropriate refund will be arranged.
12. Customer Information
You agree to provide accurate and complete information when placing an order, including your name, telephone number, email address and delivery information.
We are not responsible for delays caused by incorrect or incomplete information supplied by the customer, except where otherwise required by law.
13. Payments
Available payment methods may include M-Pesa, Visa, Mastercard, PayPal and selected cash or store-payment options.
The payment methods available for a particular order will be shown or confirmed during the ordering process.
Online payments may be processed by third-party payment providers. Their own terms, security procedures and processing requirements may apply.
14. Shipping & Delivery
Delivery methods, charges and estimated timelines are described in our Shipping & Delivery Information.
Delivery times are estimates and can be affected by order time, location, courier availability, traffic, weather, public holidays and circumstances outside our reasonable control.
15. Special Shipping Conditions for Perfume
Many perfumes contain alcohol and may be classified as restricted or regulated goods by airlines, couriers or transport authorities.
International or certain domestic shipping options may therefore be unavailable for some fragrances, destinations or quantities.
We reserve the right to change the shipping method or cancel an affected order where a fragrance cannot legally or practically be transported to the requested destination.
If an order must be cancelled for this reason after payment has been received, an appropriate refund will be arranged.
16. Returns, Exchanges & Refunds
Returns, exchanges and refunds are governed by our Return & Refund Policy.
Due to hygiene, safety and product-integrity considerations, special restrictions apply to perfumes, skincare, cosmetics and personal-care products.
Opened, sprayed, tested, used or unsealed products cannot normally be returned simply because of a change of mind or personal preference.
This does not affect any rights that cannot legally be excluded under applicable consumer-protection law.
17. Damaged, Defective or Incorrect Products
Customers should inspect products promptly after delivery.
If a product arrives broken, leaking, damaged or incorrect, please contact us promptly and preferably within 48 hours, together with your order number and photographs where appropriate.
Please retain the product and packaging while the issue is being reviewed.
18. Promotions, Discounts & Offers
Promotional offers may be subject to additional terms, validity periods, minimum order values, product exclusions or availability restrictions.
Unless otherwise stated, promotional offers cannot normally be combined.
We reserve the right to correct or withdraw a promotion where it has been published in error, subject to applicable law.
