2. Products & Pricing
All prices are listed in EUR and include VAT. We reserve the right to modify prices without prior notice. Product descriptions and images are provided for informational purposes and may vary slightly from the actual product.
3. Orders & Payment
An order is confirmed once payment has been successfully processed. We accept iDEAL, PayPal, Bancontact and major credit/debit cards. Payment is processed securely through our payment provider, Mollie.
4. Delivery
We deliver to 24 of the 27 EU member states; we do not currently deliver to Bulgaria, Cyprus or Malta. Delivery times are estimates and are not guaranteed. Please refer to our Shipping & Returns page for detailed delivery information.
5. Right of Withdrawal
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online at kocoa.nl/en/withdraw. If you use this online feature, we will send you an acknowledgement of receipt of the withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by email), including its content and the date and time of its submission, without undue delay.
In accordance with EU Directive 2011/83/EU, you have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days of the day you received the goods (or the last item, if you ordered multiple products in one order), without giving any reason.
To exercise this right, you must inform us of your decision before the withdrawal period expires. You may use the Model Withdrawal Form available on our Shipping & Returns page, or send a clear statement to returns@kocoa.nl.
Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in the case of defective or incorrectly delivered products, in which case KOCOA will cover the return shipping costs.
Upon withdrawal, we will reimburse all payments received from you for the products you withdraw from. When you withdraw from the whole order, this includes the cost of standard delivery (the cheapest delivery option available); if you chose a more expensive delivery method, we will only reimburse the cost of the cheapest standard delivery. Refunds are made without undue delay and at the latest within 14 days of the day we receive your withdrawal statement; we may hold back the refund until we have received the goods back or you have shown that you have sent them, whichever is earlier.
The right of withdrawal does not apply to sealed products that are not suitable for return for health-protection or hygiene reasons once they have been unsealed after delivery. All our products are delivered sealed, so this applies once you have broken the seal on a product. Products with an unbroken seal can be returned under your right of withdrawal. You may handle the product only as needed to establish its nature, characteristics and functioning, as you would in a shop. If it has been handled beyond that, we may deduct the resulting loss in value from your refund. If a product is defective, your rights under the legal guarantee are not affected.
5.6 Products returned with a broken seal. If a product whose seal was broken after delivery is returned to us, the right of withdrawal does not apply to that product and the contract for it remains in force. The product remains your property. We will inform you in writing and keep it for 30 days, free of charge. At your choice, we will (a) send it back to your delivery address after you have paid the shipping cost to your country stated on our Shipping & Returns page, which will not exceed our actual shipping cost; (b) let you collect it, or have it collected, from our address within those 30 days, free of charge; or (c) dispose of it free of charge if you tell us in writing that you give it up. If you have not chosen within 30 days of our notice, after one reminder, we will send the product back to your delivery address. We will refund any products in the same return whose seal is unbroken within the legal deadline, regardless of your choice. This clause does not affect your right of withdrawal for products whose seal is unbroken or your rights under the legal guarantee.
Your legal guarantee rights
Products you buy from us are covered by the legal guarantee of conformity for at least two years. Read the EU notice on the legal guarantee
6. Liability
To the extent permitted by law, KOCOA is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damage arising from the use of our products. This does not limit our liability for death or personal injury, our liability for defective products under product liability law, or your statutory rights as a consumer, including the legal guarantee. Our products are cosmetic products and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
7. Intellectual Property
All content on kocoa.nl, including text, images, logos and designs, is the property of KOCOA and is protected by intellectual property laws. Reproduction without written permission is prohibited.
8. KOCOA Rewards Programme
KOCOA operates a loyalty rewards programme ("KOCOA Rewards") for registered users. By participating in KOCOA Rewards, you agree to the following terms. Membership is personal and non-transferable.
8.1 Earning Points — Purchases
Points are earned on qualifying purchases based on your membership tier: Seed members earn 5 points per €1, Bloom members earn 6 points per €1 and Glow members earn 7 points per €1. Points are calculated on the ex-VAT purchase amount after discounts, excluding shipping fees and any points discount applied. Points are credited after delivery has been confirmed. Points are not earned on shipping fees, taxes or orders that are subsequently refunded.
8.2 Earning Points — Reviews
You earn 300 points for each product review we publish, positive or negative, that is written from or linked to your KOCOA account when you submit it; a review submitted without an account earns no points, even if you create an account later. One review per product earns points. The rating, tone and length of a review (beyond the 10-character minimum) never affect the points. Points are credited when the review is published. They are reversed if the order is withdrawn or refunded, if the product is returned, or if a published review is later excluded under our review rules (see "How we check reviews"); never because of the rating or the opinion a review gives about the product. If you ask us to remove your review, you keep the points. KOCOA staff, brands and suppliers cannot write reviews, and reviews by affiliate partners earn no points.
8.3 Membership Tiers
There are three tiers: Seed (upon registration), Bloom (€200+ cumulative spend in 12 months) and Glow (€500+ cumulative spend in 12 months). Tier upgrades take effect the following day. Each tier is maintained for 12 months from the date of upgrade. Upon expiration, your tier is reassessed based on your spending in the preceding 12 months. Tier changes do not affect previously earned points. Glow members receive early access to new product launches.
8.4 Using Points
100 points may be redeemed for €1 in discount at checkout. The minimum redemption is 300 points (€3.00) and the maximum discount per order is €10.00. Points cannot be applied to shipping fees or taxes. Points may be used alongside promotional codes. Points have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for cash, transferred to another user, converted to other programmes or sold.
8.5 Expiration
Points expire 12 months after the date they are earned. Points restored due to a refund expire 3 months from the date of restoration. We will send an email notification approximately 30 days before points expire. Expired points cannot be restored. Points in accounts inactive for 12 months or more will expire in full. It is your responsibility to use your points before they expire.
8.6 Birthday Benefit
Members who have set their date of birth in their account receive a 10% discount coupon once per year, valid for 30 days from the date of issue. Your date of birth may only be set once and cannot be changed after the initial entry.
8.7 Refunds & Returns
If an order is refunded, the points earned from that order will be deducted from your balance. If you used points on a refunded order, those points will be returned to your account with a shortened expiration of 3 months from the date of restoration. For partial refunds, points are deducted proportionally. If the returned points have since expired, they will not be reinstated.
8.8 Anti-Abuse
KOCOA reserves the right to suspend or revoke points and programme access in cases of fraud, abuse or violation of these terms. This includes, but is not limited to: submitting fraudulent reviews, exploiting refund mechanisms to retain points, and creating multiple accounts to abuse programme benefits.
8.9 Programme Changes & Termination
KOCOA reserves the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Rewards Programme at any time. For changes that materially reduce member benefits, we will provide at least 15 days' prior notice via email. Points earned prior to any change retain their value until used or expired under the original terms. In the event of programme termination, you will have 90 days to redeem any outstanding points.
8.10 Account Termination
If your KOCOA account is deleted, whether by you or by KOCOA due to a violation of these terms, all remaining points will be forfeited and cannot be recovered. Points in accounts that have been inactive for 12 consecutive months will expire in full.
8.11 Liability
Points do not constitute property, do not bear interest, and are not insured. KOCOA's total liability in connection with the Rewards Programme shall not exceed the euro value of the points in your account at the time a claim arises.
