10. Contests and Promotions

On occasion Luis Aponte Atelier issues promotional codes, site credits, and similar “gift certificates” which will provide a credit towards a purchase on the Website when redeemed at checkout. These codes are non-transferrable, and are to be used only by the intended recipient. In particular, Luis Aponte Atelier reserves the right to cancel a promotion and/or to reject redemption of a promotional code when the total value of the promotional code exceeds a certain value, generally the price of the item for which the promotional code is used.

Promotions are only eligible for full-priced products and are limited to one per transaction. Minimum spends may be required and will be communicated on any correspondence. Where a promotion has been communicated via email, the promotional code is non-transferable and the email address provided during checkout must be the same as the email address to which the promotion was sent.

Promotional codes do not cover the costs of any shipping, duties, and/or regional taxes where applicable. These are to be paid by you. Promotions may be applied to new Trunkshow orders, but will only be deducted from the balance due. The 50% deposit must be paid at the time the order is placed, in order to submit to the brand.

All promotions have an expiration date which will be indicated in your account or in any communication to the customer. Once a promotion has expired the amount may not be refunded. If the promotion is still active, it will be refunded back to the customer’s account to be used towards a future order.

Any and all Luis Aponte Atelier contest rules and regulations will be communicated directly to the customer.
