2. Cites Licences and Service Availability
Luxorexia is committed to the highest standards of ethical and sustainable production and distribution of Products and may decline to fulfil any order where, in Luxorexia’s sole discretion, it appears to Luxorexia that such order presents any risk to such standards. In particular, the Products are made from premium exotic skins and the provisions of the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) may apply to them.

It should be noted that when you order Products controlled under Cites which are destined to be sent by Luxorexia to a country within the E.E.C., no further controls are required under such legislation. Therefore, no Cites export or import licences are required.

However, when you order Products controlled under Cites which are destined to be sent by Luxorexia to a country outside the E.E.C., there may be further controls under Cites, or comparable applicable controls. In addition to any export/re-export licence under Cites which Luxorexia may be required to provide, import documentation may also be required to be provided by you. This may take the form of an import licence under Cites or comparable applicable documentation. Luxorexia will not be responsible for obtaining such import licence or documentation. You may obtain it from the appropriate Management Authority serving the country of destination of the Products. You should always check with the appropriate Management Authority before requesting Luxorexia to send Products controlled under Cites to a country outside the E.E.C. Luxorexia will not accept liability for any breach by you of any applicable laws and/or regulations of the country for which the Products are destined.

Where Products controlled under Cites are destined to be sent by Luxorexia to the United States of America, Luxorexia will provide an appropriate re-export/export licence under Cites. No Cites import licence is required.

  • 4.5.  If you make an Advance Payment in accordance with clause 4.4 above or pay a deposit for a bespoke item in accordance with clause 9.7 below then Luxorexia will send you a Provisional Acceptance Confirmation.

6. Consumer rights

In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products in accordance with Luxorexia’s refunds policy (set out in clause 10 below). The above right to cancel applies only where the contract between us provides for delivery of Products to an address within the EU and where the Products will be returned from within the EU.
  • 6.2.  If the Product has been commissioned on a bespoke basis, the refund policy set out in 10.1.a. below will not apply. However, the refund policy set out in clause 10.1.b. will apply.

You must also return the Product(s) to Luxorexia at its registered office address within 14 (fourteen) days from receipt, in the same condition in which you received them (new and unused with all tags attached), including the original packaging, boxes and dustbags where provided, and at your own cost and risk. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession. Please note that the Products are high value delicate products requiring a certain level of care. If you fail to comply with this obligation, Luxorexia may have a right of action against you for compensation and/or the right to refuse to refund all or part of the price paid.

9. Price and payment

  • 9.1.  The price of any Products will be as quoted on the site from time to time, and will be confirmed to you by email or over the telephone when you place an order for Products.

  • 9.4.  The site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite Luxorexia’s best efforts, some of the Products listed on the site may be incorrectly priced. Luxorexia will normally verify prices as part of the dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than the stated price, Luxorexia will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product´s correct price is higher than the price stated on the site, Luxorexia will normally, at its discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
  • 9.5.  Luxorexia is under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after Luxorexia has sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
  • 9.6.  Payment for all Products must be by PayPal. Save for deposits charged under clause 9.7 below Luxorexia will not charge your PayPal account until your order is dispatched.
  • 9.7.  A deposit of 50% of the price (including VAT, if applicable, but excluding delivery costs) is payable at the time of order on Products commissioned on a bespoke basis and whenever an Advance Payment is made pursuant to clause 4.4 above. The balance plus delivery costs are payable within seven (7) days of notification to you that the goods are in stock and ready for shipping. Luxorexia reserves the right at its own discretion to cancel the order and retain the deposit in the event that the balance and delivery costs are not received.
