Last Updated: August 1, 2026

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using the Auro Presence website or placing an order.

1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

By accessing, browsing, or purchasing from Auro Presence ("Auro Presence," "we," "our," or "us"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, together with any policies referenced within them, including our Privacy Policy, Shipping Policy, and Refund Policy. If you do not agree with these Terms, please discontinue use of our website and services.

These Terms govern your access to and use of our Shopify-powered website, including all pages, content, features, products, communications, and services made available through it (collectively, the "Services"). By continuing to use our Services, you agree that these Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and Auro Presence.

As our business evolves, we may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our products, services, legal obligations, or business practices. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Any changes become effective immediately upon publication unless otherwise required by applicable law.

Your continued use of our website or Services after revised Terms are posted constitutes your acceptance of those changes. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically to stay informed of any updates.

If you have any questions regarding these Terms, please contact us before using our Services or completing a purchase.

2. ELIGIBILITY

To use our services or place orders through Auro Presence, you must:

  • Be at least eighteen (18) years of age, or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction.
  • Possess the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts under Philippine laws.
  • Provide true, accurate, current, and complete personal and payment information as prompted during checkout.

If you are under 18, you may use our store only under the supervision and consent of a parent or legal guardian who
agrees to be bound by these Terms.

3. PRODUCTS & AVAILABILITY

Auro Presence specializes in curating artisanal, luxury, and fine perfume products. All products are offered subject to availability.

  • Stock Availability: We strive to maintain accurate inventory figures on our store. However, due to high demand or
    handcrafted batch limits, items may become unavailable. We reserve the right to limit the sales quantity of our
    products to any individual, household, or geographic region.
    Batch & Formulation Variations: Perfumes are composed of natural, aromatic ingredients, and fine botanical
    extracts. Subtle variations in scent hue, intensity, or maceration tone between manufacturing batches are natural
    characteristics of artisanal perfumery and do not constitute a product defect.
4. PRICING & TAXES

All prices listed on Auro Presence are in Philippine Pesos (PHP) and are inclusive of applicable Philippine Value-Added Tax (VAT), unless stated otherwise.

  • Price Adjustments: We reserve the right to modify pricing, promotional rates, and delivery charges at any time
    without prior notice. Price changes will not affect orders that have already been confirmed and accepted.
  • Pricing Errors: In the rare event that a product is listed at an incorrect price due to technical error, we reserve the
    right to cancel or decline any orders placed for that item, providing a full refund if payment was already processed.
5. ORDERS & ORDER ACCEPTANCE

Placing an order constitutes an offer to purchase our products. Upon receiving your order, our store will generate an
automated confirmation email acknowledging receipt.

  • Note on Contract Formation: An order confirmation email does NOT signify our official acceptance of your order. A binding sales contract is formed only when your order has been verified, packed, and assigned a shipping tracking
    number.

We reserve the right to refuse, limit, or cancel any order for reasons including, but not limited to: suspected fraudulent
activity, unauthorized resale, unavailability of stock, incorrect delivery addresses, or breaches of these Terms.

6. PAYMENT TERMS

We support secure, convenient local payment options processed through encrypted third-party payment gateways integrated into our Shopify store. Accepted payment methods include:

  • E-Wallets: GCash, Maya, ShopeePay
  • Credit / Debit Cards: Visa, Mastercard, JCB

You authorize us and our payment processors to charge your selected payment method for the total amount of your order.

7. SHIPPING & DELIVERY

Auro Presence operates exclusively within the Republic of the Philippines.

  • Coverage: We ship to major Metro Manila locations, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao via our authorized courier
    partners (J&T Express).
  • Processing & Delivery Timelines: Orders are processed within [1-3 business days] . Standard transit times are:
    Metro Manila: 1-2 days
    Provincial Areas: 2-3 days
  • Delivery Addresses: Customers are responsible for providing complete and accurate shipping details (including barangay, landmarks, and active mobile number). We are not responsible for delays or non-deliveries resulting from inaccurate customer address information.
8. RISK OF LOSS & PROPERTY TITLE

All items purchased from The Auro Presence are made pursuant to a shipment contract. Title to the products passes to you upon delivery to your designated address. Risk of loss or damage to products transfers to you upon actual delivery by our logistics provider. In the event of lost packages in transit, we will assist you in liaising with our third-party courier for investigation and resolution.

9. RETURNS, REFUNDS & CASE-BY-CASE EVALUATIONS

Due to health, hygiene, and product integrity standards surrounding personal care and fragrance products, all sales are generally final. However, in compliance with Philippine Consumer Law (RA 7394) and our commitment to customer satisfaction, we evaluate return/refund requests on a strict case-by-case basis.
Qualifying Criteria for Returns/Exchanges:

  • Damaged / Broken Bottling: Products received with cracked glass, leaking atomizers, or broken caps upon
    arrival.
  • Incorrect Item Sent: Received a different fragrance or volume size from what was ordered.
  • Defective Atomizer: Mechanical failure of the spray mechanism upon first use.

Please check our Refund Policy for more information

10. PRODUCT INFORMATION & FRAGRANCE EXPECTATIONS

We aim to accurately describe our fragrance notes (Top, Heart, Base), longevity, and olfactory profiles.

  • Individual Skin Chemistry Notice: Perfume notes interact dynamically with individual skin chemistry, pH levels, moisture, diet, and climate. Fragrance performance, dry-down notes, and longevity may vary from person to person. Descriptions on our site serve as sensory guidance and do not guarantee an identical experience.
  • Patch Testing & Sensitivity: Fragrance compounds contain essential oils and aroma molecules. Customers are advised to review ingredients and perform a small patch test before full application. Stop use immediately if irritation or allergic reaction occurs.
