Preamble

We are happy to welcome you on our Website li-vy.com (hereinafter the “Website”).

The present General Terms and Conditions of Sale exclusively regulate the sales of goods offered on the Website. They are accessible at all times on the Website and the Customer must declare that it has read them and acknowledged them when registering its order.

Consequently, the act of placing an order implies the complete acceptance by the Customer, without reserve, of the General Terms and Conditions of the Sale, to the exclusion of any other condition notably those applicable in the LIVY stores that may be, for example, presented in prospectuses, catalogues issued by LIVY.

Any conflicting condition laid down by the Customer, unless expressly and previously accepted, is not binding on LIVY no matter when it may have been informed thereof. The fact that LIVY does not invoke any of the General Terms and Conditions at a given time must not be interpreted as a waiver of its rights to invoke any of said Terms and Conditions subsequently.

LIVY endeavours to insure, as much as possible, that the information on the Website is accurate and updated, and reserves the right to correct, at any time and without warning, the content thereof.

If a condition is missing, it should be considered as being subject to the practices and laws of France in the field of distance selling. The potential invalidity of one of the terms of the General Terms and Conditions does not cause the invalidity of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale as a whole. Only the invalid clause must be considered as not being written and should lose its effects.

Although LIVY operates the Website https://int.li-vy.com, LIVY works with a company called Global-e France SAS (referred to below as “Global-e”), which provides order processing and fulfilment services and is the seller of all products and services purchased through the https://int.li-vy.com Website. The checkout pages are provided by Global-e. On successful verification of your order and payment information, Global-e buys products from us and resells them to you in accordance with the Global-e Terms of Service.

Article 2. PRODUCTS

2.1 Characteristics of the Products 

The Products offered for sale online are those presented on the Website. They are described and reproduced by LIVY on the Website with as much accuracy as possible. The information communicated on the Product description page notably mention the essential characteristics of the Products (colours, description, composition, maintenance, dimensions), their price.

Nevertheless, LIVY draws the Customer’s attention on the fact that the photos cannot insure a perfect similarity with the Products offered for sale, notably as regards colours, but also as regards the look of the Product on the Customer.

The differences can result from the quality of the photos’ colour, de difficulty to display materials on the screen or, without this list being exhaustive, the technical adaptation. These differences cannot be interpreted as lack of conformity and result in the invalidity of the sale.

In case of a non-significant manifest error or omission between the characteristics of the Product and its representation and/or its description, LIVY cannot be held liable.

The Product offers and the prices (except when the terms of Article 3 of the present General Terms and Conditions of Sale apply) displayed on the Website are valid as long as they are displayed on the Website, within the limit of available stocks. 

2.2. Product Availability

The Products are offered for sale within the limit of available stocks, subject to a stock variation. Only the Products displayed on the Website at the time of the visit by the Customer are offered for sale.

Hence, when the offer is placed, the availability of the selected Product is confirmed by the Website.

In case the Product is not available due to a variation of the stock, LIVY will inform the Customer in the shortest amount of time possible by email and will indicate, if applicable, the waiting time for the delivery of the Product. The Customer will be able to confirm its order or ask for a reimbursement of the Product on the basis of the invoiced price.

The costs of preparation and delivery will be reimbursed to the Customer if the latter confirms the cancellation of the entire order.

2.3. Purchase limits

The Website does not allow the purchase of Products for resale. In this respect, the Customer's attention is particularly drawn to the fact the Order shall not exceed fifteen (15) items per Order or 2,000 Euros (or equivalent amount in another currency). Customers wishing to purchase more than this amount or quantity for purposes other than resale should contact LIVY's Customer Service at customer.service@li-vy.com to find out about the possibilities and conditions of purchasing on this Website.

Article 3. Price

For European Union (EU) countries, the prices are indicted all tax inclusive, including VAT. The prices indicated include the applicable VAT at the day of the order. Should the VAT amount be amended, it would be automatically applied to the prices of the products.

For countries outside the European Union (EU) and the French DOM-TOM, the prices are indicated exclusive of VAT. For information about customs duties and other local taxes, please refer to the Global-e Terms of service.

The prices are indicated exclusive of preparation and delivery costs which depend on the selected delivery country. The lump sum for participation to the costs of preparation and delivery is communicated to the Customer on the order summary, before the order is confirmed.

Any order shall imply acceptance of the prices and descriptions of the Products available for sale.

At any time, LIVY reserves the right to amend the prices and descriptions of the Products and notably in case of increase of taxes applicable to sales and notably the amount of VAT, and/or in case of a manifest typing or entry error.

Nevertheless, the Products will be invoiced based on the applicable price at the time the order is placed, except manifest error.

Indeed, despite LIVY’s care, it is possible that errors on the price occur on the Website, no matter the reason (computer error, manual error, technical error...). If orders are placed for prices that are wrong or manifestly low (worthless price), or if reductions that are not justified are wrongly applied, the orders will be cancelled, even if they were confirmed. LIVY will then inform each of the concerned Customers, so that they can, if they wish, place the order again at the right price.
