(hereinafter referred to as the "Seller")

  1. These Terms and Conditions govern the mutual rights and obligations of the Seller and a natural or legal person who enters into a purchase contract either outside the scope of their business activity as a consumer (natural person), or within their business activity (hereinafter referred to as the "Buyer"), through the web interface available at https://www.luvoti.com (hereinafter referred to as the "Online Store").

  2. These Terms and the purchase contract are concluded in the English language.

  3. The provisions of these Terms and Conditions form an integral part of the purchase contract. In case of any discrepancies, provisions agreed in the purchase contract shall take precedence over these Terms and Conditions.

II.

Information about goods and prices

  1. Information about the goods, including the purchase price of individual products and their main features, is provided for each item in the online store's catalog. Prices are listed including value-added tax (VAT). The prices remain valid as long as they are displayed in the online store. This does not exclude the possibility of concluding a purchase contract under individually agreed terms.
  2. All product presentations in the online store catalog are for informational purposes only and the Seller is not obliged to conclude a purchase contract for these products.
  3. The online store also displays information about delivery costs.
  4. Any discounts on the purchase price cannot be combined unless agreed otherwise between the Seller and the Buyer.

Notes:

  • We reserve the right to slight variations in product color (the actual color of the fabric may differ slightly from the photo due to monitor settings or lighting during photography). 
  • Minor irregularities in weaving or sewing are not defects but a natural part of the production process.
  • For fabric sold by the meter, please note that a length variation of ±1–2 cm may occur due to manual cutting. 

III.

Orders and Conclusion of the Purchase Contract 

  1. Any costs incurred by the Buyer when using means of distance communication in connection with the conclusion of the purchase contract (internet connection fees, telephone call charges) shall be borne by the Buyer. These costs do not differ from the standard rate.
  2. The Buyer may place an order in the following ways:
  • via their customer account if previously registered in the online store,
  • by filling out the order form without registration,
  • by sending a written order to the Seller's e-mail address,
  • by phone.
  1. When placing an order, the Buyer selects the goods, quantity, payment method, and delivery method.
  2. Before submitting the order, the Buyer has the opportunity to check and change the data entered in the order. The order is sent by clicking the SUBMIT ORDER button. All information provided in the order is considered correct by the Seller. The order is valid only if all required fields in the order form are completed and the Buyer confirms that they have read and agree with these Terms and Conditions. 
  3. Immediately after receiving the order, the Seller will send the Buyer a confirmation of receipt to the e-mail address provided. This confirmation is automatic and does not constitute the conclusion of the purchase contract. The confirmation includes the Seller's current Terms and Conditions.
  4. The purchase contract is concluded only upon the Seller's acceptance of the order. The Buyer will receive a confirmation of the acceptance via e-mail. The sending of a pro forma invoice by the Seller is also considered acceptance of the order.
  5. If the Seller cannot fulfill any of the requirements stated in the order, they will send the Buyer a modified offer to the provided e-mail address. This modified offer is considered a new proposal for the purchase contract. In such a case, the purchase contract is concluded upon the Buyer's confirmation of acceptance of the new offer, sent to the Seller's e-mail address specified in these Terms and Conditions.
  6. All orders accepted by the Seller are binding. The Buyer may cancel an order before the Seller sends the confirmation of acceptance. The cancellation can be made by phone or by e-mail, using the contact details provided in these Terms and Conditions. 
  7. If there is an obvious technical error on the part of the Seller regarding the price of goods displayed in the online store or during the ordering process, the Seller is not obliged to deliver the goods at the incorrect price — even if an automatic confirmation of order receipt was sent to the Buyer. The Seller shall inform the Buyer of the error without undue delay and send a modified offer to the Buyer's e-mail address. This modified offer is considered a new proposal for the purchase contract, which is concluded upon the Buyer's confirmation of acceptance sent to the Seller's e-mail address.

IV.

Customer Account 

  1. Based on the Buyer's registration in the online store, the Buyer can access their customer account. From the customer account, the Buyer may place orders. It is also possible to place orders without registration.
  2. When registering a customer account or placing an order, the Buyer is obligated to provide accurate and truthful information. The Buyer must update the data in the customer account whenever it changes. All information provided by the Buyer in the customer account and during ordering is considered correct by the Seller.
  3. Access to the customer account is secured by a username and password. The Buyer is required to maintain confidentiality regarding the login details necessary to access their customer account. The Seller is not responsible for any misuse of the customer account by third parties.
  4. The Buyer is not authorized to allow third parties to use their customer account.
  5. The Seller may cancel the customer account, especially if the Buyer does not use the account for an extended period or if the Buyer breaches any obligations under the purchase contract or these Terms and Conditions.
  6. The Buyer acknowledges that the customer account may not be available at all times, particularly due to necessary maintenance of the Seller's hardware and software or that of third parties.

V.

Payment Terms and Delivery of Goods 

  1. The Buyer may pay the price of goods and any applicable delivery costs as specified in the purchase contract by the following methods:
  • by bank transfer (cashless payment) to the Seller's account,

  • through third-party financial services – deferred payment via credit,
  • by bank transfer via a payment gateway,
  • by cash on delivery upon receipt,
  • by cash or payment card upon personal pickup at the Seller's premises,
  • by cash or payment card upon personal pickup at a collection point.

  1. Along with the purchase price, the Buyer is obliged to pay the Seller the delivery costs and any agreed installation service fee. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the purchase price also includes the delivery costs.
  2. In the case of cash payment, the purchase price is payable upon receipt of goods. For cashless payments, the purchase price is due within 3 days of concluding the purchase contract, unless otherwise agreed. The due date stated on the invoice takes precedence over the general due date.
  3. When paying through a payment gateway, the Buyer follows the instructions of the relevant electronic payment provider.
  4. In the case of cashless payment, the Buyer's payment obligation is fulfilled when the relevant amount is credited to the Seller's bank account.
  5. The Seller may require advance payment or a similar prepayment. For goods with a delivery time longer than 14 days (i.e. goods not in stock and made to order), a deposit of 70% of the purchase price is required.
  6. Goods are delivered to the Buyer:
  • to the address specified in the order,
  • to a collection point specified by the Buyer,
  • by personal pickup at the Seller's premises.
  1. The delivery method is selected during the ordering process.
  2. Delivery costs based on the method of shipping and collection are specified in the Buyer's order and confirmed by the Seller. If a specific method of delivery is requested by the Buyer, the Buyer bears the risk and any additional costs associated with that method.
  3. If the Seller is obliged to deliver goods to a location specified by the Buyer in the order, the Buyer must accept delivery upon arrival. If the Buyer fails to accept the goods and re-delivery or alternative delivery becomes necessary, the Buyer must cover the related additional costs.
  4. Upon receiving the goods from the carrier, the Buyer must inspect the packaging for damage and immediately notify the carrier of any defects. If the packaging appears tampered with or damaged, the Buyer is not obliged to accept the shipment. In case of damage, a damage report must be prepared with the carrier. If no such report is made, the delivery is considered intact.
  5. The Seller issues a tax document (invoice) for all payments, which is sent to the Buyer's e-mail address.
  6. Ownership of the goods passes to the Buyer upon full payment of the purchase price, including delivery costs, but not before the Buyer takes possession of the goods.
  7. The risk of accidental loss, damage, or destruction of the goods passes to the Buyer at the moment of receipt or at the moment when the Buyer was obliged to accept the goods but failed to do so in breach of the purchase contract.
  8. The estimated delivery date shown in the Seller's product catalog is approximate and subject to change in the event of unforeseen circumstances beyond the Seller's control, such as force majeure, strikes, or pandemics. This also applies if such circumstances occur on the part of the Seller's supplier. In such cases, the Buyer shall not be entitled to claim compensation for delay, and the Buyer agrees to tolerate any reasonable extension of the delivery time.
  9. The installation fee includes a charge for packaging disposal.

Note: External carriers (e.g., Delta, PPL, etc.) do not provide an item carry-in service. The customer must arrange this themselves. The paid Carry-in Service is available only when using our Luvoti Delivery.

VII.

Rights Arising from Defective Performance 

  1. The Seller is responsible to the Buyer for ensuring that the goods are free from defects upon receipt. In particular, the Seller guarantees that at the time the Buyer received the goods:
  • the goods possess the properties agreed between the parties; if no agreement was made, the goods have the properties described by the Seller or manufacturer, or expected by the Buyer based on the nature of the goods,
  • the goods are suitable for the purpose stated by the Seller or for the usual purpose for goods of that kind,
  • the goods match the quality or design of the agreed sample or model, if quality or design was specified according to a sample or model,
  • the goods are in the correct quantity, size, or weight,
  • the goods comply with legal regulations.
  1. The Seller's obligations for defective performance shall be at least to the same extent as those of the manufacturer. Otherwise, the Buyer may claim defects that occur in consumer goods within 24 months of receipt.
  2. If a period for which the goods can be used is specified on the packaging, instructions, or advertising (in accordance with legal regulations), such a period is considered a warranty of quality. Under a quality warranty, the Seller guarantees that the goods will be fit for normal use or retain usual properties for the stated period. If the Buyer validly claims a defect, the period for asserting rights from defective performance or warranty is suspended for the time during which the Buyer cannot use the defective goods.
  3. The provisions of this Article VII do not apply to goods sold at a reduced price due to a defect for which the discount was agreed, to wear and tear caused by normal use, to used goods with a defect corresponding to the level of use or wear at the time of acceptance, or if it results from the nature of the goods. The Buyer is not entitled to rights from defective performance if the Buyer was aware of the defect before accepting the goods or if the Buyer caused the defect.
  4. In the event of a defect, the Buyer may file a complaint and request:
  • replacement with new goods,
  • repair of the goods,
  • a reasonable discount from the purchase price,
  • withdrawal from the contract.
  1. The Buyer has the right to withdraw from the contract if:
  • the defect is substantial,
  • the goods cannot be properly used due to recurring defects or after repair,
  • the goods have multiple defects.
  1. A breach of contract is considered substantial if the breaching party knew or should have known at the time of the contract that the other party would not have entered into the contract had it foreseen such a breach.
  2. In the case of a non-substantial defect (regardless of whether it is repairable), the Buyer may request a repair or a reasonable discount.
  3. If a repairable defect occurs repeatedly (typically the third complaint for the same issue or the fourth for different ones), or if the goods have multiple simultaneous defects (usually at least three), the Buyer may request a discount, replacement, or withdraw from the contract.
  4. When filing a complaint, the Buyer must specify which right they are exercising. Changing the chosen remedy is only allowed with the Seller's consent, unless the Buyer originally requested a repair that proves impossible. If the Buyer does not specify a right from a substantial breach in time, they have the same rights as in case of a non-substantial breach.
  5. If repair or replacement is not possible, the Buyer may withdraw from the contract and request a full refund.
  6. If the Seller proves that the Buyer knew about the defect before acceptance or caused it, the Seller is not obliged to comply with the Buyer's claim.
  7. The Buyer cannot claim for a defect on discounted goods for which the discount was applied due to the defect.
  8. The Seller must accept complaints at any of its premises where it is possible, or at its registered office or place of business. The Seller must provide a written confirmation of when the complaint was made, what it includes, and what method of resolution the Buyer requested, along with the outcome and details of any repair or a written justification of rejection.
  9. The Seller or an authorized employee must decide on the complaint immediately, or within three working days in complicated cases. This period does not include the time necessary for expert assessment depending on the nature of the goods or services. Complaints including defect resolution must be settled without undue delay, no later than 30 days after being made, unless a longer period is agreed with the Buyer. Missing this deadline is considered a substantial breach and entitles the Buyer to withdraw from the contract. The moment the Seller receives the returned goods is considered the moment the complaint is made.
  10. The Seller shall notify the Buyer in writing of the result.
  11. The Buyer is not entitled to claim rights from defective performance if they knew about the defect or caused it.
  12. In the case of a justified complaint, the Buyer is entitled to reimbursement of reasonably incurred costs related to the complaint. This must be claimed within one month after the warranty period ends; otherwise, the court may not recognize the claim.
  13. The rights and obligations of the parties concerning defective performance are governed by Sections 1914–1925, 2099–2117, and 2161–2174 of the Civil Code and Act No. 634/1992 Coll., on Consumer Protection.
