any responsibility for the accuracy, content, or availability of information
found on sites that link to or from the Avon websites from such third parties.
We cannot ensure that you will be satisfied with any products or services that

Limitation
of liability
In no event shall Avon be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special
or consequential damages, arising out of the use of or inability to use the
Avon website, even if Avon or an Avon authorised representative has been advised
of the possibility of such damages. Applicable law may not allow the limitation
or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, so the above
limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. In no event shall Avon's total
liability to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action (whether in contract,
tort, or otherwise) exceed the amount paid by you, if any, for using or accessing
this site.

you submit, post to or transmit through a Interactive Medium, your use of the
Avon website, your connection to the Avon website, your violation of the Terms
and Conditions of Use, or your violation of any rights of another.
Miscellaneous
These Terms and Conditions of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with English law, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. You agree
that any lawsuit arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions of
Use shall be filed only in the courts located in England and you hereby consent
and submit to the jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating
any such lawsuit. If any provision of these terms shall be unlawful, void, or
for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable
from these terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any
remaining provisions. This is the entire agreement between us relating to the
subject matter herein and shall not be modified except in writing, signed by
both parties.

that your order has been accepted. Our acceptance of your order brings about
a legally binding agreement between us. All orders are subject to availability
and if your order cannot be fulfilled our Substitution Policy comes into effect.

Online - your right to cancel
The Avon guarantee offers a 100% satisfaction promise, so if you don't like
any of your purchases for whatever reason, simply return them and we'll give

Shop
Online - substitutions policy
In the event that the products you have ordered are not available, we will contact
you as quickly as possible either by telephone, e-mail or post, depending on
what information you have supplied to us and your preferred method of communication.
We will ask you to select one of the following ways to proceed with your order:
Accept an alternative product, which we have recommended because it is similar
in style, properties, ingredients and price, as a substitute for the missing
product. This product will then be added to your order in place of the unavailable
item, and will be invoiced in its own right at its own price. Under the Avon
guarantee, you can return this product and receive a replacement or a refund
it is unsuitable for whatever reason. Allow the remainder of your order to be
processed and despatched, including payment for the missing product. As soon
as the product comes into stock, it will be sent to you separately, free of
delivery charge. Cancel the missing product from your order and allow the remainder
of your items to be processed and despatched as normal. If we have been unable
to make contact with you to allow you to make this decision, we will cancel
the product from your order and you will receive the balance of your order as
normal. The invoice that accompanies this delivery will explain what action
has been taken.
