- The invalidity of these terms and conditions or of one of the clauses of these terms and conditions mentioned below does not affect the validity of the agreement and the other clauses. In such a case, the disputed clause will be replaced by mutual agreement by an enforceable and legally valid provision that is as close as possible to the purpose of the original clause.
Section 3 - Offer
- Mystique Candles' offer contains as complete and accurate a description as possible of the products offered. The description is sufficiently detailed to allow a proper assessment of the product.
- However, all images, photographs, drawings, data concerning size, color, images of labels on the Mistique candles website are only approximate, indicative and not binding. Colors and application of decoration may differ from reality to a certain extent given the handmade character. Any deviations cannot give rise to compensation or termination of the agreement.

- either the day after the customer, or a third party designated in advance by the customer who is not the carrier, has received the product;

- or, in the case of regular delivery for a certain period of time, the day after the customer or a third party designated in advance by the customer who is not the carrier has received the first product.
4.

8. The customer is liable for the depreciation of the product that is the result of a way of handling the product that goes beyond what is necessary to establish the proper functioning of the product.

10. We accept returns if the item and its packaging are returned in perfect and original state. Because of the nature of our products, we can't accept returns of used candles. We reserve the right to refuse returns or not fully refund your purchase if we suspect that the candle has been used or if the item has been damaged due to the return shipment.
