All information on our Website is an invitation to treat only and is not an offer or unilateral contract. Your order represents an offer by you to purchase the Goods.

All prices are in Australian dollars (AU$) and inclusive of GST (except where otherwise stated on our Website or notified to you by telephone).

If an error is found in the price of Goods you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible and offer you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling your order. If you cancel, we will refund or re-credit you for any sum that has been paid by you or debited from your credit card for the Goods.

5.3 You must pay to us any amount ("GST Amount") which is payable by us on account of a goods and services tax, value added tax or any other similar tax ("GST") as a consequence of any supply made or deemed to be made or other matter or thing done under or in connection with these Conditions. The GST Amount must be calculated by multiplying the amount on which the GST is calculated by the prevailing rate of GST. You must pay any GST Amount at the same time and in the same manner as making any payment on which the GST Amount is calculated. You must pay any amount you are required to pay under this clause in full and without deduction.

6.1 You must pay for the Goods prior to their dispatch to you or, for Click & Collect orders, collection from store by credit card (or bank transfer on Client Services request).

We undertake to keep this information strictly confidential.

This company will be responsible for holding and automated handling in a secure environment the information relating to each order, including bankcard details.

As a result, your personal data (including name, email address, delivery details, telephone number, details of the order placed, credit card details) will be disclosed and used by Cybersource Corporation exclusively for the purposes of providing fraud screening services to us and to its own customers. We reserve the right to not accept any orders where we deem the risk of fraud to be too high.
We reserve the right to put in place additional/other payment security system(s) from time to time.

6.4 To ensure that your credit, debit or charge card is not being used without your consent, we will validate name, address and other personal information supplied by you during the order process against appropriate third party databases. By accepting these terms and conditions, you consent to such checks being made. In performing these checks, personal information provided by you may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference Agency which may keep a record of that information. You can rest assured that this is done only to confirm your identity, that a credit check is not performed and that your credit rating will be unaffected. All information provided by you will be treated securely and strictly in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988.

6.5 In the event that the sum due from you has not been debited for whatever reason (including, without limitation, stopped payment, refusal by the issuer of the card, or technical failures), the sale will be cancelled immediately. In the event that the Goods have already been dispatched to you, you will remain responsible for payment and we reserve the right to process your payment at a later time or require payment via an alternative payment method.

6.6 Where Goods are identified on our Website as requiring "additional delivery time ", you may still be able to add the Goods to your online shopping cart. Once you proceed through checkout, we will apply a pre-authorisation hold for the full purchase price to your nominated credit card or debit card if using PayPal. The amount placed on hold will not be available to you during the period of the pre-authorisation hold. The hold will automatically expire in accordance with your issuing bank's policy or when we complete the transaction and despatch the Goods to you, whichever is earlier.

6.7 The maximum authorisation hold period varies depending on your payment method. These time periods are determined by your issuing bank and may change from time to time.

6.8 If a pre-authorisation hold expires before the Goods are back in stock, we may not be able to complete the transaction. We will, however, use reasonable endeavours to notify you via email or telephone that the Goods are back in stock and to arrange payment. To the extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any unavailability or delay relating to Goods that are placed on back order in accordance with clause 6.6 above.

6.9 Where the Goods return to stock and the pre-authorisation hold has not expired, your nominated credit or debit card will be debited for the full purchase price and the Goods will be delivered to you in accordance with clause 7.

7.1 Except where you elect to collect your order from a store offering the Click & Collect service or your order is cancelled in accordance with these Conditions, the Goods you order will be delivered during normal business hours once payment has been confirmed to the address which you give to us when you place your order.
Delivery will be made by express courier. Please note that deliveries are not made outside Australia or care of hotel or PO Box addresses or to business premises.

7.2 If there is no one at the address given who is competent to accept delivery of the Goods, you will be asked to contact our Client Services in order to arrange an alternative delivery date to collect the Goods.

7.3 You may use our Gift Service to arrange for Goods to be delivered to a third party of your choice, provided always that the delivery address is in the Australia.

Any delivery date or time specified by us is a best estimate only and we will not be responsible for any loss or damage suffered by you through any reasonable or unavoidable delay in delivery. We will aim to deliver the Goods (other than Personalised Goods) within 30 days and Personalised Goods within 8 weeks.

7.5 Please note that all packages containing Goods to be delivered to you will be weighed by us prior to their dispatch.

7.7 If, at the time of delivery of delivered Goods, the packaging for your Goods is damaged, you are required to open the package in the presence of the carrier in order to verify the condition of the Goods. In the event of damage to delivered Goods, you should note the details on the delivery note and contact the Client Services team (see clause 10 below). For Click & Collect Goods, you should check the items for any damage at the time of collection and if any damage is apparent notify the store staff immediately.

7.8 If you choose to collect your order from a store offering the Click & Collect service, you will be notified via email (and/or SMS if you have provided your mobile number for this purpose) when your order is ready for collection at your selected store. Your order will be kept in store for 15 days from and including the date we notify you that is available for collection. You must collect or arrange for collection of your Goods during normal store opening hours during this period. If you are unable to collect your goods within this period, you should call Client Services to either arrange an alternative delivery option or to cancel the purchase. If you do not collect your order or arrange another delivery option within this period, the order will be cancelled and the amount of the purchase price of the uncollected goods will be automatically refunded to the payment card used for your purchase.

7.9 When collecting an order from our Click & Collect service, you will be required to provide the following items to in store staff: Receipt of purchase, Photo id and the credit card used to make the purchase. If a third party will collect the item on your behalf you must either call Client Services to notify us that a third party will collect the item or provide the third party with a signed letter expressly authorising them to collect the Goods on your behalf. The third party will be required to show the Receipt for the purchase and Photo id, and, where you have not previously notified Client Services that the third party will be collecting the Goods, the signed letter of authority from you, prior to LVA releasing the Goods. LVA reserves the right to decline to release a Click & Collect order if the identity and authority of the person seeking to collect the Goods has not been established to LVA's reasonable satisfaction. To the full extent permitted by law and subject to clause 8 below, you agree that LVA is entitled to release Goods in accordance with this clause in satisfaction of LVA's obligation to provide you with the Goods and LVA takes no responsibility for Click & Collect orders once released in accordance with this clause.

8.1 To the full extent permitted by law and subject to clause 8.4.4, we will not be responsible to you under the Contract or otherwise at law for:

8.1.1 any losses which are not reasonably foreseeable by both Parties when the Contract is formed arising in connection with the supply of Goods and related services or their use by you or. where you use our Gift Service, the recipient;

8.1.2 any losses which are not caused by any breach by us;

8.1.3 business or trade losses.

8.2 To the full extent permitted by law and subject to clause 8.4.4, our entire liability in connection with the Contract will not exceed the purchase price of the Goods in question.

8.3 Nothing in this Contract means that our liability to you, or, where you use our Gift Service, the recipient, for fraud or for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence or that of our employees, agents or sub-contractors is limited.

8.4 We shall repair or replace, free of charge any Goods damaged or lost in transit where delivery has been made by our carrier, provided that:

8.4.1 you give us written notification via email at contact_au@louisvuitton.com or by mail at Louis Vuitton Client Services, 70 King Street, Basement, Sydney NSW, 2000, Australia of such damage or loss within 24 hours of the delivery date in the case of damage and within 24 hours of the anticipated delivery date notified to you at the time you placed your order in the case of loss, in order that we may comply with our carrier's conditions of carriage;

8.4.2 you deliver or produce to us at Louis Vuitton Client Services, 70 King Street, Basement, Sydney NSW, 2000, Australia any receipt or other documents relating to the Goods in question together with (in the case of a claim for damage) the original packaging for the Goods and the Goods.

8.4.3 If we accept your claim, we will bear the cost of repair or replacement and of sending you your repaired or replacement Goods. If we do not accept your claim, we will notify you and (in the case of damaged Goods) make the Goods available for collection. If, in such circumstances, you wish us to repair or replace your Goods and/or send them back to you, we will provide you with details of the costs of doing so, as well as details of our repair policy.

8.4.4 Your right to a repair or replacement under clause 8.4 above is in addition to and not in substitution of any other rights and remedies you may have under laws applicable to the Goods. Our Goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the Goods repaired or replaced if the Goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

8.4.5 The limitations on our liability contained in these Conditions is made to the full extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Conditions restricts the effect of the guarantees referred to in clause 8.4.4 above, or any other law which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified.

9.1 In addition to your legal rights, we operate an exchange policy for our customers in respect of items delivered (other than Personalised Goods), subject to the following conditions:

Within 30 days following the date of delivery or, for Click & Collect orders, collection from store, you may choose to:

9.1.1 Return the items in question, in their original packaging, complete with any related accessories or instruction booklets, labels, protective covers and boxes, together with the original invoice and the Return Voucher, to the following address: Louis Vuitton Client Services, 70 King Street, Basement, Sydney NSW, 2000, Australia. It is your responsibility to obtain proof that the goods have been returned, by returning the items by registered post or by such other means which gives proof of date of postage and delivery. The cost of returning the goods shall be borne by you. No new delivery can take place until we have received the returned goods from you.

9.1.2 You can also exchange your products within our stores in Australia and abroad (with the exception of India, Russia, Ukraine, China, Brazil, Lebanon, Argentina or Mexico. Special regulations are applied in Korea, Taiwan and Venezuela). Please note that, in order for a store to accept a product for exchange, the store should have this product category in its offer. 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 under the STORES section.
No exchange will be offered for Goods that are returned by the Customer incomplete, damaged or soiled. You must take reasonable care of the Goods if you wish to return them exercising your consumer rights under this section. 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.

9.2 In the event that Goods are exchanged, the initial sale will be cancelled. The new transaction payment will be set off against the amount of the preceding sale. Any credit balance will be either re-credited directly to your bank account or a credit card or a credit note will be issued to you. Any additional payment will be debited directly from your credit card.

9.3 In the event that Goods are exchanged by post, the new sale will be subject to these Conditions.

9.4 Nothing in this clause 9 will affect your rights referred to in clause 8.4.4 above. This exchange policy is in addition to those rights and is not intended to exclude or limit those rights.
