Any purchase of products completed by customers is done so in coordination with what is displayed and described on the website, including the indicated price and additional taxes and fees, which may vary depending on location. Additional costs include the cost of shipping and legislation charges.

Methods of Payment
Payment by installments is strictly prohibited.
Should the customer choose to pay by one of the credit cards options that are accepted and displayed in the website, any payment must be made with the submission of the purchase order. The validity of the payment method will be stringently checked by the provider during the order process, and an E-Mail confirming the success of the payment is sent to the customer. Credit is received by Brands Vice at the moment of the shipment of products.
Product prices are subject to change, however, confirmed orders will not be affected by any such alterations.
Should the provider or institution issuing the credit card refuse payment for any reason, Brands Vice will not be held responsible for any delay or non-delivery of items.
Brands Vice reserves the right to automatically cancel any order in the absence of relevant information needed to complete a transaction.
Information from the buyer’s credit card or financial information will at no time be known by Brands Vice. Such information is transmitted through a secure and safe connection to an online portal for the bank or finance company provided by the customer. Therefore, Brands Vice will not be responsible for any fraudulent or illegal use of credit cards which may potentially occur during the transaction of a purchase. If PayPal is used as a method of payment, customers will be directed immediately to the PayPal login page in order to complete their order.
When using PayPal, the amount of the purchase is charged to your PayPal account at the time of the order. In case of cancellation by the customer or non-acceptance by Brands Vice, the amount will be refunded to the Customer’s individual PayPal account. Brands Vice will in no event be liable for any damages, direct or indirect, as a result of any delays in releasing the amount committed by PayPal. For each transaction made with the PayPal account, the customer will receive, by e-mail, confirmation from PayPal directly. Brands Vice reserves the right to cancel and/or suspend the order if PayPal sends an e-mail message showing errors and/or irregularities in the payment. In such instance, Brands Vice reserves the right to obtain additional information from the customer, as well as the sending of documents to prove the ownership of credit cards. Brands Vice also reserves the right not to accept the order without any right for the Customer to claim damages.
Should the customer cancel an order reserved with payment by credit card, bank transfer or PayPal, Brands Vice will reimburse through the same chosen method of payment made by the Customer, and requests for other methodology will not be permitted under any circumstances.
Customer data is processed in a manner which prevents third parties from coming into contact with them. To increase security further, customers should strive to use an internet provider such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla or Safari. Until the time when customers confirm any order, data surrounding credit card details reside exclusively on the customer’s computer or device.
Delivery
Brands Vice accepts orders worldwide, however, delivery times may increase depending on the delivery destination.
Invoices for orders delivered by carriers are available to both download and print online from the customer’s individual account area. Once such information has been issued, no changes can be generated.
Any shipment costs added to the price of products will be calculated by our system. With larger orders, a member of our customer services team will contact the client to discuss shipment details and delivery time.
Verification is required if the number of packages delivered corresponds to that shown on the transport document, if the packaging is intact, and/or if the product matches the order. If this is the case, customers must sign the delivery correspondents with ”the right to check the integrity of the products”. If this fails to be completed, customers may not dispute the non-matching appearance or quantity of the product ordered after delivery.
Products are delivered from Brands Vice within 2-3 working days from the dispatch of the order & payment confirmation. The regularity of payment is always checked before carrying it out. In case of orders with payments in advance other than by bank transfer and where Brands Vice has reported of anomalies, such as mismatch of the name of the person registered and the holder of the credit card, the goods are delivered within 7 working days after the check for regularity of payment. In the unlikely event that a product has not been delivered after 10 working days from the order confirmation, customers should send a direct E-Mail to sales@brandsvice.com with the subject line “non-delivery”, while also stating the order number as well as any other additional information. Having received the E-Mail, Brands Vice will contact the customer within 2 working days in order to resolve the problem and explain why the order has not been delivered, if necessary.
Although customers outside EU are responsible for taxes and duties, import duty or tax costs will be invoiced to them directly from Fedex or an import broker appointed by them. We recommend you to contact your local customs authority to determine a landed cost price prior to purchase completion. If you have any questions about how your shipment can be solved please email or call us.

The main focus of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the protection of personal data and digital privacy. Because of this, your Privacy Policy is going to be an important part of your GDPR compliance plan.
Here’s what you need to know about updating your current Privacy Policy, having adequate Privacy Notices and getting your users to consent to your Policy terms in accordance with the GDPR.
Data protection laws around the world require a Privacy Policy when you collect or use personal information from your users, so chances are that you already have this agreement in place on your website.
The GDPR applies to any business that does one or both of the following:
- Offers products or services to citizens of the EU
- Collects personal information from citizens of the EU
- Note that if you meet either of these criteria, it doesn’t matter where your business is located.
This means that a U.S.-based business that simply collects email addresses from EU citizens will be required to comply with the GDPR.
