Terms of Service

Acceptance of Terms

By using the DesPois website (despois.co) or purchasing any DesPois product, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our site or purchase our products.

We reserve the right to update these terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the site following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.

Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to use the DesPois website or purchase any DesPois product. By placing an order, you represent that you meet this age requirement. If you are under 18, you represent that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these terms on your behalf.

Products & Editions

Each DesPois release is a limited, serialized collectible tied to a specific album era. Every release includes a collectible bottle, an album-era fragrance, and authenticated access to a Digital Album World. All three components are included in the purchase price and are delivered as a single ownership experience.

Each album-era release includes three bottle variants — Original, Gold, and Platinum. Within each variant, a limited subset may be artist-signed, creating six possible collector configurations across the full edition (each variant in unsigned and signed form). The variant and configuration a buyer receives is determined by the serialized allocation of the production run. All variants are offered at the same purchase price and include identical fragrance and Digital Album World access.

Each album-era release is limited to fewer than 50,000 bottles across all variants and collector configurations. Edition allocation is fixed at the time of production and is never reprinted. Once an edition closes, it does not reopen and the original album-era edition is not reproduced once sold out.

DesPois may release separate, artist-approved products, fragrance refills, tour exclusives, or special editions related to an album era. These are distinct from the original album-era edition and do not reopen or expand it.

Preorders & Payment

DesPois releases are offered on a preorder basis. By placing a preorder, you are securing a serialized claim on a production run prior to manufacture and shipment.

• Charge timing. Your payment method is charged in full at the time your preorder is placed. This confirms your claim and secures your position in the production run.
• Fulfillment timeline. Estimated shipment timelines are stated on the product page at the time of preorder. DesPois will communicate proactively if any timeline changes occur.
• Pricing. All prices are listed in US dollars and are inclusive of the bottle, fragrance, and Digital Album World access. Applicable taxes and shipping costs are calculated at checkout.

Priority waitlist deposit. Joining the DesPois priority waitlist requires a $25 deposit. This deposit secures priority access and becomes a sample credit applied toward the DesPois sample experience or your first eligible purchase, depending on the final launch structure. The deposit does not guarantee final allocation unless otherwise stated. The deposit amount is applied as credit rather than refunded as cash.

Future refills. Verified owners are expected to receive access to future compatible fragrance refills at a planned price of $160, subject to availability, artist approval, and production constraints. Planned refill pricing is not a permanent contractual guarantee.

Cancellations & Refunds

Because DesPois releases are produced in limited, serialized editions, our ability to accommodate cancellations is limited once production has commenced.

• Before shipment. If your order has not yet shipped, you may request a cancellation and full refund by contacting us at perfumalbums@despois.co. We will process eligible refunds within 10 business days.
• After shipment. Once your order has shipped, all sales are final. We do not accept returns or offer refunds on shipped orders, except in cases of damage or fulfillment error as described below.
• Damaged or incorrect items. If your bottle arrives damaged or you receive an incorrect item, contact us within 7 days of delivery with photos and your order details. We will work to resolve the issue promptly.

Digital Album World Access

Each DesPois bottle includes NFC-enabled authentication that unlocks access to a release-specific Digital Album World. This is an owner-only digital environment accessible exclusively to registered bottle owners.

• Registration required. To access the Digital Album World, you must register your bottle by tapping the NFC point on the object with a compatible device and creating or signing into a DesPois account. A fallback registration code is included in your packaging for devices without NFC support.
• One registration per bottle. Each bottle may only be registered to one DesPois account. Once registered, ownership is linked to that account.
• Access tied to ownership. Digital Album World access is granted to the registered owner of the physical bottle. DesPois does not guarantee continued access in the event of account termination due to a violation of these terms.
• Service availability. DesPois makes reasonable efforts to maintain Digital Album World access for the lifetime of each release. However, we reserve the right to modify, update, or discontinue features of the digital environment with reasonable notice to registered owners.
• No unauthorized sharing. Digital Album World access follows verified ownership of the physical object. When ownership is transferred through the official DesPois transfer flow, the new verified owner inherits access to the corresponding Digital Album World, and access to the previous account is released. You may not share, sublicense, or sell access to your Digital Album World independently of the verified object it belongs to.

Intellectual Property

All content on the DesPois website — including text, design, graphics, logos, and the DesPois name and brand — is the property of DesPois and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from any DesPois content without our express written permission.

Artist names, imagery, and associated content included in any DesPois release remain the intellectual property of the respective artist or rights holder. Purchase of a DesPois release does not grant any license to that artist's music, name, likeness, or associated intellectual property beyond personal, non-commercial enjoyment of the physical and digital product.

Secondary Market & Resale

DesPois releases are collectible objects and may be resold on secondary markets at the discretion of the owner. However, please note the following:

• Digital Album World access. Ownership of a DesPois object can be transferred. When a piece is transferred through the official DesPois verification flow, the new verified owner inherits access to the corresponding Digital Album World, and the prior owner’s access is released. Unofficial resale or transfer completed outside the DesPois verification flow may not automatically update digital access until the new owner verifies ownership.
• No endorsement. DesPois does not endorse, facilitate, or guarantee any secondary market transaction. We are not responsible for the condition, authenticity, or pricing of products sold through third-party platforms.
• Authentication. Each DesPois bottle carries a unique serial number and NFC chip that can be used to verify authenticity. DesPois makes no representations regarding the value of any release on secondary markets.
