ORDER ACCEPTANCE & CONTRACT CREATION
You will be guided through the process of placing an order by a series of simple instructions on the Site. Once you have placed your order, we will send to you an email acknowledgement providing you with the details and value of your order, which has been debited to your credit/debit card. This is not an order acceptance.
Unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or you have cancelled your order (see Cancellations), our acceptance of your order and the completion of the contract between you and us will take place when we have dispatched the goods ordered by you (again via email confirming your items have been dispatched).
If you require any information regarding your order(s) please contact Customer Services via email at support@lauramercier.co.uk
We may not accept your order if an item you have ordered is out of stock, we are unable to obtain authorisation for your payment, we suspect fraudulent activity or violation of these Terms (including our Privacy Policy) or if we identify a product or pricing error.
If you require a VAT invoice, please email us at support@lauramercier.co.uk.
PAYMENT
You may pay using any of the methods specified in the 'payment details' section shown when you proceed to checkout. All credit/debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses or does not, for any reason, authorise payment to us, whether in advance or subsequent to a payment, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.
ACCEPTANCE OF GOODS
Upon receipt, you must inspect the goods. You will be deemed to have accepted the goods unless you notify us that you have cancelled the order and/or you return the goods in accordance with our Returns Policy. If no such action is taken, we shall not be obliged to accept any rejection of the goods at a later date. Your statutory rights are not affected.
If you have not received the entire order as detailed in the order confirmation email sent to you when your order was received, please contact Customer Services support@lauramercier.co.uk.
RETURNS
We hope that you are delighted with your order. However, if for any reason you are not entirely satisfied, you may return any item (with receipt) within 30 days of delivery if the product is in its original condition.
You have the right to a price reduction, or the right to demand a full refund of the price paid and your reasonable costs of returning the products, if:
1) the product delivered is not what you ordered (including any substitute products), or does not correspond with its description; or
2) the product delivered is not of satisfactory quality.
Please note that we're currently unable to offer product replacements.
If you choose to return items for reasons other than defects in the goods, or incomplete, or incorrect delivery, delivery charges are not refundable, and you will be required to arrange and pay for the return of the goods to us.
Please ensure you obtain a proof of postage when you return the goods to us. You should retain your proof of postage as we cannot accept liability for missing returns.
For more information on the returns process, please refer to our Returns Policy, or email support@lauramercier.co.uk with your order number and Customer Service will explain to you how to proceed.
If Laura Mercier issues a refund and you fail to return any products to us where required to do so and/or fail to make them available for collection after receiving notice requiring you to do so, Laura Mercier shall be entitled to compensation from you equal to the sum of the purchase price for the relevant products and the original delivery charges. You hereby authorise Laura Mercier to deduct any such sums from the payment method used by you to make the purchase.
By law, customers located in the UK have the right to withdraw from the online purchase of an item within 14 days of the day the item is delivered. You can exercise this right in accordance with our Returns Policy.
Your statutory rights remain unaffected.
