7.4.2 exchange your products within our stores in the United Kingdom (except at Harrods, Heathrow and Selfridges) or abroad (but not in Brazil, China, Columbia, India, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Lebanon, Mexico, Mongolia, Dominican Republic, Russia, Thailand or Vietnam), provided the store offers this product category. For example, men's shoes are exchangeable only in Louis Vuitton stores with a men's shoe offer. Our stores offer can be checked on our Website in the “STORES” section. Kindly note that perfume products may be exchanged in accordance with Condition 7.3 in any of our stores, but only in the United Kingdom (except at Harrods, Heathrow and Selfridges).

7.5 Please note that no new delivery (of an exchanged or replacement product) can take place until we have received the returned products from you. Where products are exchanged, we will end the original contract and your payment will be applied to the price of the new product. If the new product is on sale at a higher price, you must pay the difference in store or as described in Condition 5. We will not be able to provide the replacement products until we have received payment from you. If the product is on sale at a lower price, we will refund you for the difference (but not for any delivery charges) by the method you used for payment, except where you wish to exchange products in store where only a store credit can be issued. If products are exchanged using our collection and delivery service, the new sale will be subject to these terms.

7.6 Please note that you may not exchange products which you have received as a result of a prior exchange.

7.7 The terms set out in this clause 7 do not affect your legal rights.

8.1 Ending your contract with us. You may end your contract with us in the circumstances described below. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract:

8.1.2 If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see Condition 8.2;

8.1.3 If you have just changed your mind about the product, see Condition 8.4. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions.

8.2 Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at Conditions 8.2.1 to 8.2.3 below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:

8.2.1 we have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;

8.2.2 there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;

8.2.3 you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong (including because we have delivered late (see Condition 6.11).

8.4 How long do I have to change my mind? For most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within fourteen (14) days. In order to ensure the satisfaction of our customers we extend this to allow up to 30 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the products, unless your products are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 30 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receive the last delivery to change your mind about the products.

9.1 Tell us you want to end the contract. To end the contract with us, please let us know by doing one of the following:

9.1.1 Phone or email.

9.2 Gifts. If you use our Gift Service, only you may end the contract with us and not the recipient of the gift.

9.3 Returning products after ending the contract:

9.3.1 If you end the contract for any reason after products have been dispatched to you or you have received them, we provide a complimentary collection service and you must allow us to collect the item(s) you wish to return from your preferred address. Please call our Client Service team or email us to arrange collection.

9.3.2 You may also return your products within our stores in the United Kingdom (except at Harrods, Heathrow and Selfridges) or abroad (but not in Brazil, China, Columbia, India, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Lebanon, Mexico, Mongolia, Dominican Republic, Russia, Thailand or Vietnam).

Place the item(s) in the original shipping box or any other suitable box, cover the original address label with the enclosed pre-paid return label, securely seal your parcel using the adhesive strip on the inside of the original box, and drop your parcel off at any UPS store or pick-up location.

9.3.4 You must return the products with their original packaging, complete with all related accessories, instruction booklets, labels, protective covers and boxes, together with the duly completed “Return Voucher” and the original invoice. In the case of perfume products which have been sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, the seal on the crystal film covering the perfume box must not have been broken.

9.4 When we will pay the costs of return. We will pay the costs of return:

9.4.1 if the products are faulty or misdescribed;

9.4.2 if you are ending the contract because we have told you of an error in pricing or description, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong; or

9.4.3 if you are exercising your right to change your mind, by way of our complimentary collection service. In all other circumstances you must pay the costs of return.

9.5 How we will refund you. We will refund you the price you paid for the products including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.

9.6 Deductions from refunds if you are exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind:

9.6.1 We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the products, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. For shoes in particular, we highly recommend that you try your Louis Vuitton shoes on a clean floor which would not alter the sole, such as a carpeted surface. Please note that the amount of the reduction could be equal to the full amount of the price if we are unable to sell the returned products because they do not meet our high standards of sale. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the products and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.

9.6.2 As standard delivery is complimentary, we will not refund delivery costs if you choose to have the product delivered by Express or Premium delivery.

9.7 When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are exercising your right to change your mind, your refund will be made within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind, except that we may withhold refund if you did not permit collection of the products as required under these Terms of Sale within a reasonable time after notifying us of your decision to cancel the contract, or until you show us evidence you have dispatched the products in case you decided not to use our collection service.

10.1 We may end the contract if you break it. We may end the contract for a product at any time by writing to you if:

10.1.1 you do not make any payment to us when it is due;

10.1.2 you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the products to you or collect them from us.

10.2 You must compensate us if you break the contract. If we end the contract in the situations set out in Condition 10.1 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for products we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the contract.

11.1 How to tell us about problems. If you have any questions or complaints about the product, please contact us. You can telephone our Client Service Team or email us.

11.2 Your legal rights. We are under a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with this contract. Nothing in these terms will affect your legal rights.

11.3 Your obligation to return rejected products. If you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject products you must allow us to collect them from you. We will pay the costs of collection. Please call our Client Service Team or email us to arrange collection.

12.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.

12.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products; and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

12.3 We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the products for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

13.1 Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.

13.2 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

13.3 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

13.4 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.

13.5 Alternative dispute resolution. Alternative dispute resolution is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. If you are not happy with how we have handled any complaint, you can submit a complaint for online resolution to the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution platform.
