Upon confirmation (i.e. clicking the “Place Order” button as explained below), the order will be sent to Bvlgari for processing and, within twenty-four (24) hours, you will receive an acknowledgment email containing the main details of your order. Orders will be confirmed in writing, by Bvlgari by e-mail. Bvlgari also reserves the right to require verbal confirmation of orders. If we request verbal confirmation of an order, you shall give confirmation by phone and email confirmation will not be sufficient.
The images of the products on our Website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colors accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colors accurately reflects the color of the products. Your products may vary slightly from those images. Accordingly, Bvlgari shall not be liable for any error or inaccuracy in the photographs or graphical representations of Bvlgari products displayed on the Website. If you have any questions about the products, you may contact the customer service department by emailing ca.cs@bulgari.com , calling +1-800-Bvlgari or by live chat through the “Contact Us ” section of the Website. Orders may be placed for personal use only, any commercial use excluded. Bvlgari has the right to cancel any order placed by you in the event you have been involved in a dispute concerning a prior order, or if Bvlgari has reasonable ground to suspect that you have violated these Terms and Conditions, or are or appear to be engaged in fraudulent activities or use of purchased products other than for personal use as permitted by these Terms and Conditions. Bvlgari has the right to refuse any order at its discretion. Orders may not exceed three (3) products in any buying session.

Confirmation of Orders

In order to process the order, you must select the product you wish to buy and click the “Add to Shopping Bag” button. The selected products will then be included in the “Shopping Bag” and the order can be placed by filling out the order form and accepting the General Terms and Conditions of Sale (i.e., these Terms and Conditions). Prior to submitting the order, you are given the opportunity to verify the accuracy of the information provided and make the necessary corrections. The order is submitted when you click the “Place Order” button. After placing an order, within twenty-four (24) hours, you will receive an automatic e-mail confirmation from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that clicking the “Place Order” button does not mean that your order has been accepted and purchase completed. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a product. Upon receipt, the order will be submitted to Bvlgari for processing and may not be changed or cancelled except as expressly provided in these Terms and Conditions or as required by applicable law. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the product you have purchased has been dispatched and which contains the relevant tracking number (the “Order Confirmation”). The contract between us will only be formed when we send you the Order Confirmation. The contract will relate only to those products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Order Confirmation. Bvlgari files for its own records evidence of all transactions between Bvlgari and its customers. Download and file for your own records these Terms and Conditions and the Order Confirmation. In the event of a dispute between Bvlgari and one of its customers relating to a transaction conducted on the Website, the data recorded by Bvlgari shall be treated as evidence of the details of the transaction.

Some products on the Website may only be available for pre-order. Subject to the terms and conditions stipulated in this document as well as those mentioned on the webpages of the individual products available for pre-order (delivery period and delivery options), pre-orders shall be covered by the same processes and conditions applicable to standard orders. It is not possible to purchase in-stock products together with pre-order items in the same order, meaning you will need to place separate orders. If you pre-order several products with different delivery dates, the entire order will be sent as soon as all products are ready for shipment, i.e. the latest shipping date will apply. The full list of payment methods accepted for pre-orders is available on the dedicated checkout page, before the order is completed. When the pre-order has been completed, Bvlgari will process the purchase transaction by immediately debiting the amount from your chosen payment method and send you a receipt confirmation for your order. As soon as your pre-order product is ready to be shipped, you will receive an email confirming the shipment. Due to production constraints, Bvlgari may have to cancel a pre-order in whole or in part. Bvlgari will inform you of this cancellation as soon as possible and the amount paid will be credited back to the same means of payment used for the purchase.
