Orders

Only individuals who (a) have reached the age of majority (eighteen in most countries/regions), (b) have legal capacity to enter into contracts, may place orders for Bulgari products either through the Website, following the indications thereon. We do not accept orders by email. All orders are subject to written acceptance by Bulgari. It is your responsibility to check that the information displayed in your Shopping Bag accurately reflects your selection before completing your order. Upon submission (i.e. clicking the "Place Order" button as explained below), the order will be sent to Bulgari for processing and you will receive an acknowledgment email containing the main details of your order. Said acknowledgement email does not represent acceptance of your order. After processing, upon shipment of the product you have ordered, we will send you a confirmation email of your order. Bulgari 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 colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the products. Your products may vary slightly from those images. Accordingly, Bulgari shall not be liable for any error or inaccuracy in the photographs or graphical representations of Bulgari products displayed on the Website. If you have any questions about the products, you may contact the customer service department by emailing uk.cs@bulgari.com , calling 080 0048 8945 (Toll Free) or +44 020 3808 5090. Orders may be placed for personal use only, any commercial use excluded. Bulgari 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 Bulgari 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. Bulgari has the right to refuse any order at its discretion.
Certain product categories can't be combined with others as they're shipped from different countries/regions. As a result, the Website will restrict you from combining different product types in the same order, and you will see an error message when trying to add them to your shopping bag. Specifically, if you wish to order one or more products from the “Bags & Accessories” category together with other products from different categories, you will need to place separate orders.

 

Confirmation of Orders

In order to process the order, you must select the product you wish to buy and click the "Add to 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. Prior to submitting the order you are required 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, 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 Bulgari 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 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. Bulgari files for its own records evidence of all transactions between Bulgari and its customers. Download and file for your own records these General terms and Conditions and the Order Confirmation. In the event of a dispute between Bulgari and one of its customers relating to a transaction conducted on the Website, the data recorded by Bulgari shall be treated as evidence of the details of the transaction.

 

Pre-orders and Flash Sales

Some products on the Website may only be available for pre-order or during flash sales. Subject to the terms and conditions stipulated in this document as well as those mentioned on the web pages of the individual products available for pre-order or flash sales (delivery period and delivery options), pre-orders and flash sales are covered by the same processes and conditions applicable to standard orders. It is not possible to purchase in-stock products together with pre-order or flash sales 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 and flash sales is available on the dedicated checkout page, before the order is completed. In the case of pre-orders, when the pre-order has been completed, Bulgari will process the purchase transaction by immediately debiting the amount from your chosen payment method and sending 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. In the case of flash sales, registered users may sign up for a chance to purchase one of the limited products available. To participate in flash sales as a registered user, participants should provide the following information: name, surname, email address, phone number and full address. Flash sales are managed by a third party, and further terms and conditions may apply. Following the end of the flash sale period, participants in flash sales will be contacted to be notified of the outcome of the flash sales. If the flash sale order is accepted, the payment process of the order will be automatically completed. Due to production constraints, Bulgari may have to fully or partially cancel a pre-order. Bulgari 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.
