    Last Updated: April 2026 | Effective Date: April 2026

    1. Introduction & Acceptance

    Welcome to Adede's Organic Fusions (adede.tweeps.co.ke). By visiting our website, creating an account, or making a purchase, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you don't agree, please don't use our site.

    We're a Kenyan-registered skincare business committed to serving our customers fairly. These terms are governed by the laws of Kenya, including the Consumer Protection Act 2012 and the E-Commerce Act 2016.

    2. About Our Products

    Product Descriptions:

    We describe our products accurately using photos, ingredient lists, and benefit statements based on authentic customer experiences. However, individual results vary. Our organic formulations may produce different effects on different skin types.

    Organic & Natural Claims:

    All Adede products are handcrafted using 100% natural, organic ingredients. We do not use synthetic preservatives, artificial fragrances, or animal-derived ingredients. Our products are vegan and cruelty-free.

    3. Eligibility & Accounts

    You must be at least 18 years old to purchase from us. By creating an account, you confirm:

    • Your information is accurate and complete
    • You're legally able to enter into contracts in Kenya
    • You won't use the site for illegal purposes
    • You're responsible for keeping your password confidential

    4. Orders & Payment

    Payment Methods:

    We accept M-Pesa, bank transfer, and debit/credit card payment. All transactions are processed securely.

    M-Pesa Payments:

    When you pay via M-Pesa, we receive confirmation of payment but do NOT store your M-Pesa PIN or full phone number details. Your phone number is used only to send order updates and delivery notifications.

    Order Confirmation:

    Once you submit an order, you'll receive an email confirmation. This confirms your order, not that we've accepted it. We reserve the right to refuse orders that violate our policies, contain fraudulent payment details, or are being shipped to locations where we cannot deliver.

    Pricing:

    All prices are in Kenya Shillings (KES) and include VAT where applicable. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your location.

    5. Shipping & Delivery

    Delivery Timeframe:

    Nairobi & Surrounding Areas: 2-3 business days
    Other Kenyan Locations: 3-7 business days

    We ship Monday-Friday. Orders placed after 2 PM are processed the next business day.

    Shipping Risk:

    Goods are at your risk once handed to our courier partner. We use reputable logistics providers, but we're not responsible for loss or damage once the package leaves our facility.

    Track Your Order:

    You'll receive a tracking number via email. Use this to monitor your delivery.

    Incorrect or Delayed Delivery:

    If your order doesn't arrive within the stated timeframe, contact us immediately. We'll investigate with the courier and resend the order free of charge if it's lost.

    6. Returns & Refunds (Consumer Protection Act Compliant)

    We understand that organic skincare requires trust. Our return policy balances your consumer rights with our business sustainability and health standards.

    14-Day Cooling-Off Period (Your Consumer Right):

    Under Kenya's Consumer Protection Act 2012, you have the right to return products within 14 days of delivery if:

    • You change your mind about the purchase
    • You haven't opened the product (sealed in original packaging)
    • The product is unused and in resellable condition

    How to Request a Return:

    1. Email us within 14 days of delivery with your order number and reason
    2. We'll provide you with a return shipping address
    3. Ship the unopened product back to us
    4. Once we confirm receipt and condition, we'll refund your payment within 7 days

    Return shipping is your responsibility unless the product is defective.

    Defective or Damaged Products (Your Right):

    If your product arrives damaged, contaminated, or defective, we will replace it immediately at no cost to you, or provide a full refund. Contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos. We'll arrange replacement or refund without requiring return shipping.

    Why We Don't Accept Returns on Opened Products:

    For hygiene and safety reasons, we cannot accept returns on opened or used skincare products. This protects both your health and our other customers'. However, if you experience an adverse reaction (see "Safety Information" below), contact us immediately.

    Non-Refundable Items:

    • Products that show signs of use or tampering
    • Products purchased more than 14 days ago
    • Customized or personalized products (if offered in future)

    Refund Processing:

    Refunds are processed to your original payment method within 7-10 business days. M-Pesa refunds may take 2-3 additional business days.

    7. Safety Information & Liability Disclaimers
