In such a case we shall do our best to contact you using the registered information we have for you on our records.
OUR CONTRACT
Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy the products you select from the Website. All orders are subject to availability and will not constitute a binding contract of sale until accepted by us. As soon as this offer is accepted by us by sending an Acceptance Email (as specified below), your order forms a binding contract of sale between you and us as further set out at clause 5 below.
Purchases made on the Website must be for your personal or gift use and are not to be used for re-sale, commercial purposes or any other commercial benefit. We reserve the right to refuse orders for multiple quantities (more than 2) of an item ordered by you or ordered to any one postal address.
The Website only sells products to individuals who can purchase with a credit card/debit card, via PayPal or other method of payment as set out on the payment page. Payment methods may change at any time, without prior notice to previously registered customers.
The images of the products on our Website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the products. Your product may vary slightly from those images seen on your screen.
THE ORDER PROCESS
Select an item from the range of products on our website. Click on the ‘Add to Shopping cart’ button to compile items you wish to purchase at checkout. When finished and happy with your order. Click on the ‘Proceed to Checkout’ button, any additions or deductions will be made at this time for postage or discounts. By clicking on the ‘Pay now’ button you submit an offer to buy the products in the Shopping cart and agree to pay for those items. Before placing an order you can view and amend your order details at any time by clicking on the ‘Shopping Cart & Checkout’ button.
When you place your order to purchase products from the Website, we will automatically send you an email confirming receipt and the details (the “Confirmation Email”). We recommend that you print out the Confirmation email and keep it for your own records. The Confirmation Email does not constitute our acceptance of your order; it merely records the fact that we have received the order.
When we dispatch your products you will receive a second email which shall constitute our acceptance of your order (the “Acceptance Email”), at which point a binding contract of sale will be concluded between you and us.
Any products on the same order which we have not confirmed in an Acceptance Email do not form part of the contract of sale. If for any reason the products ordered by you are not available at the time you place your order, we will notify you of this by email. Our acceptance of your order in the Acceptance Email is limited only to the products that are available – no contract of sale will be concluded in respect of products that are not available. We will retain the title in the products until full payment has been received by us.
Telephone conversation you have with our Customer Services team will be recorded and will be kept by us for 5 years. Any reference to your bank data will be hidden in the recordings. Any order by phone will be only payable by card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) and will be limited to ten (10) articles maximum per order. Before providing your bank information, our Customer Services team will verify that you are the owner of the bank card being used for the purchase and summarise clearly for you some key information including references and the quantities of the products in your order, the indication of the price (inclusive of VAT), delivery costs and billing addresses. You will then be asked for the long number on your payment card, its expiration date as well as the cryptogram on the back of the card (the three last figures) and the name of the card owner. For identification, you have the choice between identifying yourself via your personal account if you already have one on the Website or providing the information requested by our Customer Services team which is necessary to identify you if you do not have an active account. This information will be kept in our customer data base. We will use such information pursuant to our Privacy Policy which you can consult here. We thank you for ensuring that the information you provide to us is complete and accurate and to inform us of any possible changes therein.
AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS AND DELIVERY TIMES
We will notify you of the estimated delivery time for your products in the Acceptance Email and/or by verbal communication when placing telephone orders. Most products on the website ( Except customisable products) will be delivered within three to five business days (i.e. excluding Saturday, Sunday and public holidays in the United Kingdom) of sending you the Acceptance Email for Standard Delivery and within one to two business days of sending you the Acceptance Email for Express Delivery. It may take slightly longer to deliver products to very remote areas. In the case of customised products, the estimated delivery date will usually be within 20 business days. We will endeavour to deliver all products you have ordered within thirty (30) days (as specified on your Acceptance Email), but these delivery dates are estimates only. Dispatch dates are not guaranteed and should not be relied upon.
In the event that we become aware that we are unable to meet the original estimated delivery time stated in the Acceptance Email, we will notify you of this as soon as possible and at the same time and without us being liable to you we will specify a new estimated delivery date.
Whilst we will do our best to deliver your products within the period of time defined above, sometimes it may take longer than expected. You accept that on some occasion, it may take us more than advised delivery time to deliver your products. If you change your mind in the meantime, you have the right to cancel your order in accordance with clause 9, except for customised products and underwear.
If your order has not been received within our specified timescales, in the first instance please check with your local mail delivery office to see that they are not holding your parcel. If they confirm that they do not have your products, please contact us and we will do our best to assist. All delivery timescales are subject to delays caused by seasonal or busy periods, weather and other unforeseen circumstances, though we will do everything we reasonably can to get your order to you on time.
Please note that the delivery company may require a signature on delivery and will not leave products without a signature. It is normally a good idea to have orders delivered to a place of work allowing you to sign for your order and avoid disappoint of parcel not being delivered to your home or other address due to a signature not being obtained.
We only deliver products to the locations listed on the Website subject at all times to the relevant EU regulations concerning free trade within the European Union. In the event that an order is placed for a delivery to a location where we do not deliver, the order will be cancelled and a refund processed.
Where you have ordered multiple products, we may sometimes need to deliver your products in more than one delivery.
Your order will be sent to the delivery address that you have given on your order form. We are not responsible if that delivery address is incorrect or incomplete. The responsibility lies with you to ensure all order details are filed correctly before order has been placed.
PRICES AND DELIVERY CHARGES
All of the prices listed on the Website include the currently applicable statutory value added tax.
The prices shown on the Website are stated in Pounds Sterling and exclude delivery charges. Despite our best efforts, a small number of the products on our Website may be mispriced. If a product’s correct price is lower than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount and send you the product. If a product’s correct price is higher than our stated price we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping the products, or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation. Allowing you to make a decision on whether the price is suitable.
Our delivery charges are as follows:
Standard Delivery: £3.95 – Free standard delivery over £50
We reserve the right to make a surcharge for deliveries to some areas. If a surcharge is applicable to your order, you will be informed at the checkout stage of the order process, prior to placing your order. If you have ordered for delivery to a location that for some reason may not be listed and the delivery surcharge isn’t sufficient to meet our delivery costs we will notify you of extra costs by email and/or telephone and will delay order until payment is received.
Where you order multiple products, you will only be charged one delivery charge.
The coordinates of the credit card used for your orders payment may be registered in all security. The cryptogram on the back of your card is systematically required to use the card for any future purchase, and you may delete it at any point from the list recorded for the final payment.
PAYMENT
Payment for your products must be made via credit or debit card, PayPal, or other means as specified on the payment page.
The full payment price, including delivery charges and any additional charges for services you may have ordered, will be debited from your card or PayPal account upon or shortly before dispatch of the products to you.
You confirm that the credit or debit card or PayPal account that is being used is yours. All credit or debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your card refuses to authorise payment we will not accept your order and we will not be responsible for any delay or non-delivery and we are not obliged to inform you of the reason for the refusal.
When you visit the Website or send emails to us, you are communicating with us electronically. We will communicate with you by email or by posting notices on the Website. For contractual purposes, you consent to receive communications from us electronically and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. This condition does not affect your statutory rights.
RETURNS
You can only return to us products which have been purchased directly through this Website. If you purchased your products at a LYFE retail store, or from another website, the products must be returned to the original store or site which they were purchased from.
Please note that you are not entitled to return underwear and products that have been customised unless the products are faulty or otherwise delivered not as ordered.
If for any reason you are not happy with your products, please follow our Returns Procedure, so that we can assist you in the refund of your order. We reserve the right to reject the return of products which are not returned in accordance with our Returns Procedure and we may request that you pay for the shipping of such products back to you unless the products are faulty, not as described or otherwise not of satisfactory quality. Our Returns Procedure does not affect your statutory rights.
As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to products purchased from us that are faulty or not as described. We are also under a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with these Terms. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund described above or anything else in these Terms. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office. Nothing in these Terms will affect these legal rights.
In case you used a promo code on your order, please note the value of the promo code is divided up proportionately to the item price. In case of return, you will get the refund of the amount paid on the returned item minus the promotion amount applied. You will then loose the promotion amount of the returned item.
RETURNS PROCEDURE
Right of Return
You have the right to cancel your purchase and return any purchased products (other than customised products and underwear) without giving any reason. This right lasts until fourteen (14) days after the day on which you (or a person indicated by you) acquires physical possession of the products (The day delivery signature was obtained). If you order multiple products at the same time on the same order number and they are delivered on different days, the fourteen (14) day period during which you can cancel your purchase without giving any reason will commence on the day you receive the last product. However, please note that this right to refund without a reason does not extend to products which have been customised or underwear.
If you wish to exchange your products, your exchange will be treated as a return, you will be refunded in accordance with this clause and you should place a new order for the replacement products.

Effects of Cancellation
If you cancel your purchase in accordance with the “Right of Return” section above, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the cost of Standard Delivery. If you selected Express Delivery, then you will not be reimbursed for the difference between Standard Delivery and Express Delivery unless this is because the product is faulty, mis-described or any fault by us in which case we will refund the delivery costs paid by you in full.
If, as a result of unnecessary handling by you, the value of the goods is reduced, then we are entitled to make a deduction from the reimbursement to take into account any such reduction without notice.
Your refund will be processed and paid no later than fourteen (14) days after we receive the returned products from you. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the products back from you, or you have supplied evidence that you have sent the goods back (whichever is the earliest).
