Noul LLC is a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the United Arab Emirates, with commercial license number 607562 and its registered office at PO Box 2623, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Website terms

Please read these Terms and any other terms of use posted on the Website as together they form the legal terms and conditions (“Website Terms”) governing your utilization of our Website and Website services (including the Bloomingdale’s customer contact centre (“Website Call Centre”) and mobile application).

We may change these Website Terms from time to time without notice to you by posting the updated Website Terms on the Website, so please be sure to check regularly for updates. When you place an order through our Website or the Website Call Centre (an “Order”), you are deemed to have consented to the latest version of the Website Terms then posted on our Website. If a change in law means that we have to change our Website Terms after you have placed an Order but before it has been fulfilled, we are obliged to apply that change to your Order. In all other cases, the version posted on the Website at the time your Order was placed will apply. Your continued use of the Website constitutes your acceptance of the Website Terms.

Eligibility

We aim to make the Website and its associated services available to as many of you as possible. However, we do require that you are at least 18 years of age, able to lawfully: (i) make payment through one of our accepted payment methods; (ii) agree to these Website Terms; and (iii) enter into binding Orders with us. In addition, only Orders with delivery addresses within the UAE can currently be processed via the UAE Website. Please refer to the Shipping and Delivery section below. The Website is for your personal or gift use only and commercial usage is not permitted. We reserve the right to decline Orders where we suspect commercial usage.

Registration

In order to take advantage of the features and services of this Website, you can either utilize the Website on a “guest check-out" basis or create an account and register your details with us.

If you are an Amber, Google or Facebook member, you may also login using your Amber, Google or Facebook login details. It is your ongoing responsibility to make sure that any personal and payment details you provide to us are valid, accurate and complete. You can update your details by contacting us at our Website Call Centre on our number +97144223000 or updating them in your profile on the Website. Please keep your account details and password confidential and secure. Our customer service agents will never ask you for your password. We are committed to complying with our Privacy Policy but are not responsible for any loss suffered through misuse of those details. Please refer to our Privacy and Cookie Policy for details on how we deal with your data.

Please notify us as soon as possible if you believe your account has been compromised. By registering or placing an Order you warrant that you meet the eligibility criteria described above and that the information you provide is yours and is accurate in all respects. Commercial entities are not eligible to register with us.

Orders

When you place an Order with us, subject to your rights to cancel or return the items, you commit to buy the items described in that Order, at the price indicated including any additional charges such as delivery fees, taxes and duties where applicable. Orders are subject to our acceptance, which we may withhold in our sole discretion including for reasons such as ineligibility, inability to confirm payment authorization, suspected fraud, shipping restrictions and stock availability. Items in your Website basket are not reserved until your Order is paid for. The Website (or our Website Call Centre) may contain or provide information regarding the availability of merchandise. This information can be used to estimate the likelihood that an item will be available immediately upon Order placement. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that an item stated to be available will actually be available right away, as inventory can change significantly throughout the day. In rare cases, a product may be available when you place an Order but sold out by the time we process the Order. Should this happen, we will notify you. Receipt of your Order will be acknowledged by email. However, the Order is only confirmed when you receive a notification from us confirming dispatch of the relevant item(s). No party other than us has the authority to confirm acceptance of the Order.

Complimentary Gifts

Certain purchases made on the Website come with a free gift, which we hope you enjoy where applicable. Please be aware that items purchased on the Website will be non-returnable if the free gift is not returned or where the free gift has been opened or if the packaging has been tampered with.

Prices

Prices on the Website are displayed in AED and exclude any services you may elect to pair the purchase with (such as gift wrapping), delivery costs or duties to which the purchase may be subject. Any such additional costs will be displayed before your final check out.

Where you purchase using a payment card denominated in a different currency to AED, the payment will be subject to the currency exchange rate applied by your card issuer at the time your payment is completed.

The destination you ask us to deliver to, the items and services you select and the method of delivery you choose will dictate what delivery charges and duties apply (if any). Please refer to our Shipping and Delivery section for further details on delivery options.

Although we make every effort to ensure prices displayed on our Website and in our communications are correct, errors may occur. If an error occurs and your Order:

  1. has already been processed, then we may at our discretion:
  2. cancel the Order (or part thereof), arrange for collection of the mis-priced item(s) from your original Order delivery address in the UAE and issue you a full refund including original Order delivery fees and duties (if applicable);
  3. where the price you paid is lower than the actual price of the item, honour the price in your Order; or
  4. where the price you paid is higher than the actual price of the item, refund you the difference;
  5. has not yet been processed, then we will notify you as soon as possible and only process the Order (or part thereof) once you have confirmed you are happy to buy at the correct price or otherwise cancel the Order (or part thereof) and refund your payment in full.

We are not liable or bound to inform or send specific communication to the user regarding the changes to your payment options on the Website (or any portion thereof). It is the customer’s responsibility to get in touch with us in order to get the payment options reactivated.
