3. BROWSING AND SALES

(a) We guarantee that all products for sale on our Site are authentic.

(b) The handbags and products for sale on our Site are pre-owned and are in the condition depicted on the respective product page. All products are sold on an an-is basis in their present condition and we make no representations or warranties as to the extent or nature of the previous use of a product by the previous owner, as such matters are outside of our direct knowledge, other than matters we are directly aware of from inspecting the product. For this reason, and except to any extent required at law, we do not give any representation or warranty as to the remaining life of a product or any aspect thereof, nor of any condition aspects affecting the product which arise only subsequent to the sale of a product such that we had no knowledge of such aspect at the time of sale.

(c) All efforts have been made to photograph and describe the handbags and products clearly and accurately and to state any condition aspects and issues that we are aware of. The colour of our products may differ to the colour depicted in photographs due to differing lights. Measurements are undertaken by hand and while all efforts are made to depict accurate measurements, please allow for a small variation of up to 5% of the stated measurement. Customers are invited to reach out to us prior to purchasing if they have any specific sizing requirements or queries.

(d) We are not in any manner affiliated or associated with the designers/companies whose pre-owned products we sell and nor do we represent to be. The trademarks of those designers/companies is vested in them as the rights holders.

(e) If you purchase a handbag or wallet from us and wish to return this or cancel due to you changing your mind, the terms of our Returns Policy and this clause apply. Please note that watches and jewellery are not eligible for change of mind returns. Our change of mind returns is provided as a courtesy for customers and should a customer misuse that courtesy by returning excessively or attempting to re-sell the item before seeking a return (in which case the item would also be deemed to be used), then the customer will not be eligible for a return. Bags and wallets returned pursuant to our Returns Policy or cancelled orders will be refunded less retention of a $30 re-stocking administration fee per item, and less any shipping fee or shipping protection/insurance fee paid. Our returns procedure for a bag/wallet is strictly that you must request the return by emailing us at enquiries@luxeitfwd.com.au and ship the return in accordance with our return instructions given, before 5pm (EST) on the final day of the returns period. For the purposes of calculating the returns period and subject to the subsequent sentence, this period commences on the day the item is delivered, that day being counted as day 1, and ends at 5pm (AEST) on the final counted day of the returns period. The only exception to this calculation is if you delay in collecting the item from a location where it has been delivered for your collection and/or for international orders if the shipment is delayed during customs due to your failure to take such action is necessary to have the shipment processed into your country including without limitation the payment of any import duties, taxes or charges, then in such case the returns period will be reduced proportionately to the number of days of the delay due to such failure to take such action or failure to collect, which in the case of long delays on your part will mean that the change-of-mind returns period may be reduced entirely. (Please note that this condition is necessary to protect our owners who receive payment only once a sale is final upon the returns period elapsing). You must then promptly comply with our specific directions for return shipment of the product following the return being initiated, to ensure its immediate return and that it is shipped back by the final day of the returns period. Noting that our items are all one-off and the change-of-minds return is provided as a courtesy, it is imperative that you send back the item for return immediately upon our return instructions being given. Upon our return instructions being given, any delay in sending the item for return will result in the item being ineligible for return. The customer is responsible for the the postage and insurance costs of returning the item to us. The customer is fully responsible for the item while in transit until it is delivered to us, and must take out insurance to cover any loss or damage of the item while in transit. We will not be responsible for any loss or damage to the item in transit, this is the full responsibility of the customer as the sender. This change of mind returns policy above is in addition to any return rights available to a customer under the Australian Consumer Law.

(f) If in the unlikely event we are not able to fulfil an order for a product that you have purchased from us, we will immediately issue you with a full refund of any monies you have paid us for that product. We reserve the right to cancel an order for any reason, including in the event of an error, and in such case we will refund any monies paid.
