If you do not collect your Products within such thirty (30) day period, PRADA reserves the right to terminate the sale and purchase contract between PRADA and you, cancel your Order, and consider your Products as abandoned (in which case PRADA may give to such Products the destination that it may determine in its sole discretion).
8. Product Non-Conformity
8.1. The sale of the Products is subject to the legal warranties provided for under applicable laws, as well as to the additional contractual warranties specified in these Terms.
8.2. In the event any Product sold to you is defective, you will be entitled to demand, in your sole discretion, the following:
(a) that the defective Product be repaired, free of charge; or
(b) if the Product cannot be repaired within thirty (30) days of your demand (unless a longer period not exceeding one-hundred and eighty (180) days is agreed between PRADA and you at the time) or the extent of the defect is such that the quality and characteristics of the defective Product will be adversely affected if it is repaired:
(b.1) a refund of the price paid for the defective Product;
(b.2) that the defective Product be replaced by a non-defective Product of the same kind, free of charge; or
(b.3) that you receive a proportional reduction in the price of the defective Product;
in each case, provided that you inform PRADA of such defect by contacting us at client.service.americas@prada.com or by phone at 0800 777 7232 / 080077PRADA, within the later of:
(1) two (2) years from the delivery date of the Product or, in the circumstances described in item 7.4 above, the date you collect the Product, which period includes any legal warranty period provided for under applicable laws (if shorter than two (2) years); or (2) ninety (90) days from the date the defect is discovered (in case of hidden defects).

9.3. The return of Products under this Section is applicable to all Products purchased on the Website and is only permitted in respect of such Products. No returns of Products purchased on the Website will be accepted at PRADA’s physical stores even if you have chosen to collect such Products from a physical store as provided in item 7.7 above.

You are also informed that perfumes cannot be returned if the sealing cellophane and the original packaging have been opened, damaged, altered or removed. PRADA will check the packaging and conditions of each Product returned, being the substantial integrity of such Products an essential requirement for the exercise of the right of withdrawal.

9.9. PRADA will process any refunds due to you in relation to the Products for which you have exercised the right of withdrawal as provided in these Terms without undue delay and in any case within ten (10) days of (a) the date on which PRADA becomes aware of the exercise by you of the right of withdrawal (in case you exercise such right before receiving or collecting the Products), or (b) the date the Products are returned to PRADA (in case you exercise the right of withdrawal after receiving or collecting the Products), provided, however, that PRADA reserves the right to withhold or delay such refund if you do not and until you take the necessary actions to have the Products returned to PRADA as required in these Terms. The aforementioned refund shall be made by the same payment method used by you when purchasing the Products. PRADA will inform you in writing when the refund is processed.

In this case, PRADA will not be liable if the Products you wish to purchase are no longer available or if there has been any change in the price of such Products.
4.7. After clinking on the Pay By Link tab and entering in your payment details, your Order may no longer be modified and the provisions of Section 5 below will apply.
4.8. You will need to provide certain personal information to PRADA so that your Order may be processed, which PRADA will use (a) to sell the Products to you; and (b) to process your payment for the Products. You are aware that you are responsible for the accuracy and truthfulness of any personal information provided to PRADA. PRADA will only share your personal information with third parties or use your personal information for any other purpose as required or permitted by applicable laws. You will be able to access PRADA’s Privacy Policy for further details on how we process your personal information and how you can manage the personal information we collect from you through a link in the Order Receipt Email.
5. Execution of Sale and Purchase Contract
5.1. Once you click on the Pay By Link tab and enter in your payment details, you agree to pay the price of the Products in your Order and your Order will be validated (but not yet accepted) by PRADA.
5.2. PRADA’s acceptance of your Order will take place when PRADA sends you an email confirming that the Products in your Order are available (such email, the “Confirmation Email”), at which time a sale and purchase contract will come into existence between PRADA and you for all legal purposes. The Confirmation Email will set out a confirmation of the Order and a summary of the Order details, such as Product descriptions and main features, the total Order price, the address for complaints, the shipment tracking number for the delivery of the Products, and information on after-sale services and your right of withdrawal (for more information on your right of withdrawal, please refer to Section 9 below).
5.3. PRADA reserves the right to not accept your Order, in which case you will receive an email from PRADA, within fifteen (15) days of the date of receipt of your Order, informing that your Order has not been accepted, upon the occurrence of the following events: (a) there is a dispute between PRADA and you relating to a previous Order; (b) you have breached these Terms or have not fulfilled your obligations arising therefrom, including by purchasing Products in order to resell them or use them for any business, commercial or professional purposes; and/or (c) you have been involved in, or are suspected of, illegal or fraudulent activities.
6. Prices and Method of Payment
6.1. The prices from time to time established by PRADA are applicable to purchases made in accordance with these Terms and may be modified by PRADA at any time without notice to you. Price changes will not affect Orders that have already been accepted by PRADA. All prices include any relevant applicable taxes and all shipping and handling costs. The prices from time to time established by PRADA in relation to Distant Sales may be different from the prices displayed on the Website for identical or similar Products.
6.2. PRADA makes every effort to ensure that the prices from time to time communicated to you are correct. However, certain errors may occur. Should PRADA notice a price error in an Order placed by you before sending you the Confirmation Email, PRADA will inform you of the correct price, and will ask you whether you want to cancel or confirm your Order.
6.3. Payments for Distant Sales must be made by credit card or other acceptable methods of payment as set forth in the Pay By Link tab, and exclusively via Pay by Link. PRADA will only accept other payment methods when expressly indicated in the Pay by Link tab. Credits issued in connection with previous purchases or otherwise are not redeemable for purchases through the Pay By Link tab. PRADA only accepts the credit cards denoted in the Pay By Link tab. When submitting credit card information to PRADA, you confirm and warrant that you are the owner of the relevant credit card and that all credit card information provided is accurate, such as credit card number, expiry date and, if applicable, the security code.
6.4. The prices displayed in the Order Receipt Email will be charged to you when (a) PRADA confirms that the Products in your Order are available, (b) your credit card information is verified and the company issuing your credit card receives the corresponding debit authorisation, and (c) you receive the Confirmation Email in respect of your Order. This will not be the case in the event you have selected the payment by credit card in installments method, in which case you will be charged before you receive the Confirmation Email for your Order, that is, before your Order is accepted and confirmed as provided in item 5 above. In this case, if your Order is not accepted and confirmed as provided in item 5 above, or if you cancel your Order before it is accepted and confirmed as provided in item 5 above, PRADA will refund any amounts you have paid to PRADA for such Order on the same payment method originally used for payment. PRADA will not be liable for any losses arising from delays or problems in the processing of your credit card information by the company issuing such card.
6.5. For all Orders, the total transaction amount will be charged for all Products at the time of the Confirmation Email. This will not be the case in the event you have selected the payment by credit card in installments method, in which case you will be charged before you receive the Confirmation Email for your Order, that is, before your Order is accepted and confirmed as provided in item 6.4 above.
6.6. The Products in an Order for which a Confirmation Email has been sent shall only be shipped after the payment of that Order has been received or authorized as provided in these Terms. If no payment is received or authorized, the sale and purchase contract between PRADA and you will be terminated and your Order will be cancelled.
7. Delivery
7.1. The Products may only be delivered to addresses in Brazil. For security reasons, PRADA shall not process any Order addressed to a post office box or that does not allow PRADA to identify the natural person who is the recipient of the Order and the relevant address.
7.2. As soon as your Order is shipped, you will receive a confirmation email of your purchase, as well as an email from our designated courier to the address indicated in your Order containing a shipment tracking number and an exclusive link that will allow you to real-time monitor the delivery of your Order. If you have any questions or problems with the shipment of your Order, you may contact us at client.service.americas@prada.com or by phone at 0800 777 7232 / 080077PRADA or by contacting the sales associate that assisted you with your initial Order.
7.3. You may receive the Products in your Order separately (i.e. in multiple shipments), depending on the availability of the Products in your Order, unless you have informed us that you would like to receive your entire Order as a whole. The Products shall be delivered to the address indicated by you in the Order, except as provided in item 7.7 below.
7.4. PRADA makes every effort to deliver the Products in the Order to the address indicated in the Order. However, if PRADA is not able to deliver your Order, including, without limitation, as a result of any error or missing information in the address indicated in the Order or if there is no one to receive your Order at the time of delivery after two (2) attempts on different days, your Order will be returned to one of our physical stores. PRADA will then inform you in writing thereof and will provide you with instructions on how your Products can be collected. If you do not collect your Products within thirty (30) days from the date you receive such instructions from PRADA, PRADA reserves the right to terminate the sale and purchase contract between PRADA and you, cancel your Order, and consider your Products as abandoned (in which case PRADA may give to such Products the destination that it may determine in its sole discretion).
7.5. You will be informed of the estimated delivery time of your Order during the purchasing process. PRADA makes every effort to make sure that you receive your Products on a timely fashion. In the event that PRADA realizes that it will not be able to deliver the Products within the estimated delivery time, PRADA will inform you in writing about the delay and will indicate the new estimated delivery time of such Products. You will have the right to cancel an Order that is delayed or reject the Products included in an Order that is late delivered. If you decide to cancel the Order or reject the Products, please contact us at client.service.americas@prada.com or by phone at 0800 777 7232 / 080077PRADA or by contacting the sales associate that assisted you with your initial Order. PRADA will refund any amounts you have paid to PRADA for the cancelled Order or rejected Products. If the Products are delivered to you notwithstanding your cancellation of the Order, you must return the Products to PRADA following the instructions set forth in Section 9 below.
7.6. Title to and risk of loss or damage to the Products will pass to you at the time your Order is delivered or, in the circumstances described in item 7.4 above, at the time you collect the Products.
7.7. Without prejudice to the provisions in items 7.1 to 7.6 above, instead of having the Products of your Order delivered to you, you may choose to collect such Products from a PRADA physical store selected by you from a list informed to you by PRADA. If you chose to collect the Products of your Order from a PRADA physical store, you must do it personally, bearing an official identification document with picture, within thirty (30) days of your receipt of an email from PRADA informing you that your Products are available for collection from the selected PRADA physical store. Further, you may designate a representative to collect your Products of your Order from a PRADA physical store so long as the security and identification requirements that PRADA informs you of for the representative are met. If you (or your representative) do not collect your Products within such thirty (30) day period, PRADA reserves the right to terminate the sale and purchase contract between PRADA and you, cancel your Order, and consider your Products as abandoned (in which case PRADA may give to such Products the destination that it may determine in its sole discretion).
