PRIVACY, TERMS & CONDITIONS

General Customer Terms & Conditions 

1. Introduction

My Luxury Channel is a New Zealand-owned and operated online shopping platform (Platform). You can use our Platform to buy a wide range of products from third party retailers and suppliers (Merchants). We connect you to Merchants, who pay us a commission for each order you make on the Platform. While we operate the Platform, when you are buying products on it, you will be transacting directly with Merchants, and My Luxury Channel is not a party to these transactions.

By using the Platform (and any of our associated websites, Apps or social media pages), you accept these terms and conditions (Agreement) and our Privacy Policy. We may change these terms at any time, and changes will be posted on the Platform. We will notify you where there are any material changes to these Customer Terms. By continuing to use the Platform, you agree to be bound by any changes.

To the extent that Merchants’ own terms and conditions are inconsistent with the terms and conditions in this Agreement, the terms and conditions in this Agreement will take precedence and apply.

2. The Platform

2.1 Registration

You must be a registered member to place orders on the Platform. To register as a member, you must be at least 18 years old and have a current New Zealand residential address. You will also need to provide us with personal information including your name, address, valid mobile phone number and email address. You are responsible for ensuring this information is up to date at all times.  One account per user.

We may disable your registration at any time if we believe that you are not using My Luxury Channel in an appropriate or reasonable way. 

2.2 Use of the Platform 

You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account, and you must keep your account password secure. We are not responsible for any unauthorised activity on your account if you fail to keep your account login information secure. If you suspect or become aware of any unauthorised use of your account, you must notify us immediately and take immediate steps to re-secure your account.

Other than connecting to My Luxury Channel through the Platform, you must not gain or attempt to gain access to My Luxury Channel’s servers. You agree not to disrupt, modify or interfere with the Platform and its associated software, hardware and data in any way.

We do not warrant that the Platform will be available at all times and without disruption. We may make changes to the content on the Platform at any time without notice.

The Platform has some links to third party websites. These sites have not been prepared by us and are not under our control. Any third party links are only provided as a convenience and we are not responsible for the content or availability of any of these links.

2.3 Placing orders on the Platform 

Information about products on the Platform is based on material provided by Merchants. We cannot be held responsible for incorrect information supplied by Merchants and you agree to make your own enquiries to verify information and assess the suitability of products before placing an order. We also note that due to photographic and screen limitations, some actual products may differ to a small extent in visual appearance from the way they appear on the Platform. Any information contained on our Platform (and any of our associated websites, Apps or social media pages) constitutes an invitation to treat only and is not an offer by us to supply any products.

To order a product, add it to the shopping cart and proceed through the checkout process. You will be required to enter payment information, which, if successfully completed, will lead to a confirmation page (which you can use as a receipt of your order). Once you complete an order (including payment), it will be sent to the Merchant who will confirm whether your order has been accepted or rejected. If the Merchant rejects your order, you will be refunded in full. 

Some products on the Platform carry an age restriction. If a product you have selected is age restricted, you will be required to confirm that you are an appropriate age to purchase the product. Confirming this means you represent to us and the Merchant that you are of an eligible age and that you are not purchasing the product on behalf of a person who is not the appropriate age. The Merchant may require you to confirm your age upon delivery of your products.

 Please Note:

Unless otherwise stated, reward programs or special discounts applicable to individual retailers do not apply to orders placed on My Luxury Channel.

2.4 Cancelling Orders

We reserve the right to cancel orders that we believe to be placed for commercial purposes or are fraudulent (including where we believe there may have been credit card or a payment related fraud). We may also cancel orders where there has been an error in the listing of the product (e.g. an incorrect price). If we cancel your order, you will be refunded in full.

My Luxury Channel has a “no regrets” policy which allows you to cancel your order (or part of your order) at any time for any reason before the Merchant has dispatched your order. Where you have cancelled your order (or part of your order) under our “no regrets” policy, you will receive a full refund of any payments you have made for that order (or part of that order). You will not be able to cancel your order under the “no regrets” policy once it has been dispatched by the Merchant.

My Luxury Channel has a “change of mind” policy, which allows you to return any products you have ordered within 30 days of receiving them and get a refund. Any products returned under our “change of mind” policy must be returned in their original condition and packaging (e.g. with any tags still attached). Our “change of mind” policy does not apply to hygiene products (such as underwear, swimwear and earrings), perishable products (such as alcohol), or products capable of copyright infringement (such as CDs, DVDs and gaming software).

3.1 Transacting with the Merchant 

As noted above, when you order products on the Platform, you are transacting directly with Merchants. To the extent permitted by law, My Luxury Channel makes no warranty or representation regarding the standard or description of any products to be supplied by the Merchants. Merchants are the 'supplier' of the products under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and are responsible for all statutory guarantees and warranties (if any).

GST receipts will be provided by My Luxury Channel.com Ltd, who issue tax invoices to Buyers on The Merchant's behalf with My Luxury Channel acting as The Merchant's agent.

3.2 Delivery of your order 

Delivery times are set by Merchants and therefore vary depending on which Merchant you are buying from. After placing your order, you will be able to track its progress by logging into the Platform which will either display the progress of your order, or provide a link to the relevant carrier’s site (on which you can check your order’s progress).

To ensure successful delivery, you must provide a delivery address where someone will be present during business hours. The Merchant will not be liable for late delivery where attempted delivery has occurred on or before the relevant delivery timeframe.

3.3 Returns and Refunds

All products sold on My Luxury Channel are likely to come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. If you believe that you have a claim under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you may have the right to a replacement or a refund. Please see our Buyer Guarantee which outlines the process to follow if you believe you have the right to a replacement or refund, or if you think your goods have been damaged or lost during delivery.

As set out in the Buyer Guarantee, you must lodge any complaint you may have through our Platform. Once your complaint has been lodged, we will liaise with the relevant Merchant to resolve your complaint. My Luxury Channel attempts to resolve complaints as quickly as possible and relies on you to promptly provide all the information needed to resolve your complaint.

If free shipping has applied to you order, and you return the item due to change of mind, the original shipping amount, at the merchants discretion, may be deducted from the return refund. 

3.4 Consumer Rights / Liability

Our Buyer Guarantee sets out our standard process for handling certain claims under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, however, nothing under clause 3 (or our Buyer Guarantee) is intended to have the effect of restricting or modifying your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, the Fair Trading Act 1986, or any other obligations that cannot be restricted or modified by law.
