Eligibility to Purchase
The purchase of merchandise through HEMISPHERE SUD Ltd. ("HS") is strictly limited to parties who can lawfully enter into and form contracts on the Site in accordance with Mauritian law.

In order to make purchases through the Site, you will be requested to register and provide your personal details. In particular, Customers must provide their real name, phone number, e-mail address and other requested information as indicated. Furthermore, when ordering items, you will be required to provide payment details and you represent and warrant that the payment details you provide on ordering are both valid and correct and you confirm that you are the person referred to in the Billing information provided.
The Site is available only to individuals and others who meet the HS terms of eligibility, who have been issued a valid credit card by a bank acceptable to HS, whose applications are acceptable to HS and who have authorised HS to process a charge or charges on their credit card in the amount of the total purchase price for the merchandise which they purchase. HS reserves the right to restrict multiple quantities of an item being shipped to any one customer or postal address.

Moreover, by making an offer to purchase merchandise, you expressly authorise us to perform credit checks and, where HS feels necessary, to transmit or to obtain information (including any updated information) about you to or from third parties from time to time, including but not limited to your credit-card number or credit reports (including credit reports for your spouse if you reside in a community property jurisdiction), to authenticate your identity, to validate your credit card, to obtain an initial credit card authorisation and to authorise individual purchase transactions.

Orders
All orders are subject to acceptance and availability.

HEMISPHERE SUD usually offers products for sale that are in stock and available for dispatch from our distribution center.

If you have registered your email address for notification of the arrival of a specific product featured on our website, we will attempt to notify you by email within 48 hours of the product becoming available on the site. Please note that on occasion certain products that are in particularly high demand will sell out during this period.


Pricing Policy
Prices shown on the site are in EURO exclusive of local Value Added Taxes.

All prices and offers remain valid as advertised from time to time. The EURO price of a product displayed on the website at the time the order is accepted will be honoured.

Product prices are set at the beginning of each season using existing currency exchange rates. These prices remain static for the duration of the selling period, allowing for a stable environment in which customers from all over the world can shop. Customers buying from outside of Mauritius will also incur carriage costs and any duties levied by the jurisdiction to which you have specified delivery.  Customers should note that where their credit card is denominated in a currency different from that of the purchase, the card company may charge commissions and will apply an exchange rate in accordance with the terms of their credit card agreements.

Acceptance of your order
Once you have made your choice and your order has been placed, you will receive an email acknowledging the details of your order. This email is NOT an acceptance of your order.

Unless you cancel your order, acceptance of your order and completion of the contract between you and HS will be perfected when we despatch the goods to you. The sale contract is therefore concluded in Port Louis, Mauritius and the language of the contract is English.

We reserve the right not to accept your order in the event, for example, that we are unable to obtain authorisation for payment, that shipping restrictions apply to a particular item, that the item ordered is out of stock, or that you do not meet the eligibility criteria set-out above.

Furthermore, we may refuse to process a transaction for any reason or refuse service to anyone at any time at our sole discretion. We will not be liable to you or any third party by reason of our withdrawing any merchandise from the Site whether or not that merchandise has been sold; removing, screening or editing any materials or content on the Site; refusing to process a transaction or unwinding or suspending any transaction after processing has begun.

Payment
Payment can be made by Visa or MasterCard credit/debit cards. Your credit card will not be charged until your order is shipped. You confirm that the credit/debit card that is being used is yours. All credit/debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer.
If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorise payment to HS, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.

We take all reasonable care to make our Site as secure as we can make it. All credit card transactions on this site are processed using a secure online payment gateway that encrypts your card details in a secure host environment. We will also give you the opportunity to securely store your credit card details on our systems. These details will be fully encrypted and only used to process card transactions.

To help ensure that your shopping experience is safe, simple and secure HEMISPHERE SUD uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
Furthermore, we will take all reasonable care, in so far as it is in our power to do so, to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the Site.

Insurance and Delivery
HEMISPHERE SUD insures each purchase during the time it is in transit until it is delivered to you. We require a signature for any goods delivered, at which point responsibility for your purchased goods passes to you. If you have specified a recipient who is not you for delivery purposes (for example as a gift) then you accept that evidence of a signature by them (or at that delivery address) is evidence of delivery and fulfilment by HEMISPHERE SUD and transfer of responsibility in the same way.

Tracking your order
You can check the current status of your shipment by signing into your account and selecting ORDER STATUS. Simply type in your unique tracking number which we emailed to you, and we will track your shipment for you.
HEMISPHERE SUD will store a record of your transactions for a minimum of one year.
