Terms of Purchase

Terms of Purchase - Tartecosmeticsoutlet

Welcome to Tartecosmeticsoutlet (tartecosmeticsoutlet.com), your trusted destination for Tarte’s iconic makeup—including the #1 concealer brand and best-selling Shape Tape™ concealer. These Terms of Purchase (“Terms”) govern your purchase of all Tarte products from our website, encompassing order placement, payment processing, shipping, delivery, returns, and refunds. By placing an order with Tartecosmeticsoutlet, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, as well as our Privacy Policy and Return Policy.

1. Order Placement & Acceptance

The process of purchasing Tarte products through our site involves a series of steps, and your order is not finalized until we confirm acceptance. Please review the following details to ensure a smooth transaction:

1.1 Order Submission

When you add products (such as Shape Tape™ concealer, vegan eyeshadow palettes, or clinically proven blushes) to your cart, proceed to checkout, and submit your order, you are making a binding offer to purchase those items at the listed prices. You agree to provide accurate, complete, and current information during checkout, including your shipping address, billing details, and contact information. Inaccurate or incomplete information may lead to delayed delivery, order cancellation, or additional processing fees.

1.2 Order Confirmation

Immediately after submitting your order, you will receive an automated email acknowledging that we have received your request (the “Order Acknowledgment”). This email does not constitute acceptance of your order—it only confirms receipt. We will send a second email (“Order Confirmation”) once we have verified your payment, confirmed product availability, and processed your order. A binding contract between you and Tartecosmeticsoutlet is formed only when we send the Order Confirmation.

1.3 Order Modification & Cancellation

We process orders quickly to ensure timely delivery of your Tarte essentials. You may request to modify or cancel your order only within 24 hours of submission. To do so, contact our support team immediately at service@tartecosmeticsoutlet.com with your order number and specific details of the request. We cannot guarantee modification or cancellation after 24 hours, as your order may have already been shipped. If the order is shipped, you will need to follow our Return Policy to return the products.

1.4 Product Availability

We strive to maintain accurate inventory levels for all Tarte products, but occasional stockouts may occur due to high demand or supply chain delays. If a product in your order is unavailable after you receive the Order Acknowledgment, we will notify you via email and offer the following options: (1) a full refund for the out-of-stock item; (2) a replacement with a similar Tarte product of equal or greater value; or (3) backorder the item and ship it once it is restocked. You may also choose to cancel the entire order for a full refund.

2. Pricing & Payment

All pricing and payment terms are transparent, and you will have clear visibility of all costs before completing your purchase. We only use United States Dollars (USD) for all transactions.

2.1 Pricing

Product prices on Tartecosmeticsoutlet are listed in USD and include applicable taxes based on your shipping address. Prices are subject to change without notice, but we will honor the price listed at the time you submit your order, provided that we accept the order. Promotional discounts, coupons, or special offers are valid only for the specified period and may have additional terms (e.g., minimum purchase requirement), which will be clearly stated at the time of the offer.

2.2 Payment Methods

We accept the following secure payment methods to process your order:
  • Major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover)
  • Debit cards (linked to major payment networks)
  • PayPal
  • Apple Pay
  • Google Pay
All payments are processed through our trusted third-party payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal), which use industry-standard encryption to protect your payment information. Tartecosmeticsoutlet does not store your full payment details—they are securely managed by our payment partners in compliance with PCI DSS standards.

2.3 Payment Authorization & Fraud Prevention

When you place an order, we will request authorization from your payment provider to verify that the payment method is valid and has sufficient funds. This authorization may appear as a “pending” charge on your account. If authorization is denied, we will notify you via email, and your order will not be processed until valid payment is provided.
We reserve the right to verify your identity and payment information to prevent fraud. If we suspect fraudulent activity (e.g., unauthorized use of a credit card), we may cancel your order, hold the shipment, or request additional documentation (e.g., proof of address) before proceeding. We may also share information with fraud prevention agencies to protect our business and customers.

3. Shipping & Delivery

We offer reliable shipping with free delivery on every order, ensuring your Tarte products reach you conveniently and affordably.

3.1 Shipping Options

  • Standard Shipping (Free): No minimum purchase is required for free standard shipping. Orders are processed within 1–3 business days and delivered within 6–12 business days from the date of shipment. This option is available for all Tarte products, including Shape Tape™ concealer and limited-edition sets.
  • Expedited Shipping: For faster delivery, you may select expedited shipping at checkout. The cost is calculated based on your shipping address and order weight, and the exact amount will be displayed before you complete your purchase. Expedited orders are processed within 1 business day and delivered within 2–5 business days from the date of shipment.

3.2 Shipping Restrictions

We currently ship to all 50 United States. You must provide a valid physical street address for delivery—we do not ship to P.O. boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or U.S. territories. If you provide a P.O. box address, your order may be delayed or canceled, and we will notify you promptly.

3.3 Delivery Tracking

Once your order ships, we will send a Shipping Confirmation email with a unique tracking number and a link to monitor your package’s progress. You can also track your order by logging into your Tartecosmeticsoutlet account and accessing your order history. Please note that tracking information may take 24–48 hours to update after shipment, as it requires scanning by the carrier.

3.4 Delivery Issues

If your order is delayed beyond the estimated delivery window, or if it is marked as delivered but you have not received it, contact our support team at service@tartecosmeticsoutlet.com within 3 days of the estimated delivery date. We will investigate the issue with the carrier and resolve it promptly, which may include arranging a replacement order or issuing a full refund.

4. Returns & Refunds

We want you to be completely satisfied with your Tarte products. Our return and refund terms are designed to be hassle-free, aligned with our commitment to quality and customer care:

4.1 Return Eligibility

You may return any unused, unopened, and resalable Tarte products within 60 days of delivery for a full refund or exchange. Due to hygiene standards, opened or used makeup products (such as applied concealer or swatched eyeshadow) cannot be returned, unless they are defective or damaged. Final sale items (clearly marked on the product page) are not eligible for return or refund, except in cases of defect or damage.

4.2 Return Process

To initiate a return, contact our support team at service@tartecosmeticsoutlet.com to request a Return Authorization (RA) number. You must include this number on the return package. We provide a pre-paid shipping label for eligible returns, so you will not incur any shipping costs. Once we receive and inspect the returned products, we will process your refund within 5–10 business days, crediting the original payment method.

4.3 Defective or Damaged Products

If you receive a defective (e.g., a broken lipstick, a leaking foundation), damaged (e.g., crushed packaging, shattered powder), or incorrect product (e.g., wrong Shape Tape™ shade), contact us within 7 days of delivery with your order number and photos of the issue. We will offer a full refund, free replacement, or store credit—no return is required in most cases. We will handle any claims with the carrier on your behalf.

5. Product Information & Warranties

We strive to provide accurate and detailed information about all Tarte products on our website, including ingredients, usage instructions, shade descriptions, and benefits. However, we do not warrant that product descriptions, images, or other content are error-free, complete, or up-to-date. If you have questions about a product (e.g., suitability for sensitive skin, vegan certification), contact our support team before purchasing.
Tarte products are backed by the manufacturer’s warranty. If you experience a defect in materials or workmanship within the manufacturer’s warranty period, contact us at service@tartecosmeticsoutlet.com, and we will assist you in filing a claim with Tarte.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Tartecosmeticsoutlet shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your purchase or use of our products, including but not limited to damages for delayed delivery, product unavailability, or inconvenience. Our total liability to you for any claim related to a purchase shall not exceed the total amount you paid for the affected product(s).
This limitation does not apply to damages caused by our gross negligence, willful misconduct, or failure to comply with legal obligations, or to damages for personal injury or property damage caused by defective products.

7. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Purchase periodically to reflect changes in our business practices, legal requirements, or industry standards. When we make material changes, we will post the revised Terms on our website with a clear notice of the update.
