1. Scope and Definitions

1. These General Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") will apply when you access the Lacoste Online Shop (the "Website") or place orders to purchase any of the products on the Website. Any reference to "we"/“us”/"our" in these Terms is a reference to Devanlay E-commerce located at 23-25, rue de Provence 75009 Paris, France, (VAT registration number FR 92403285513) and any reference to "you"/"your" means you, the user of the Website.
2. Please read these Terms carefully before using the Website and placing your order. By ordering products from the Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. We recommend that you keep a copy of these Terms for future reference. Click here to print or download a copy.

2. Registering for a Personal Account

1. To make it easier for you to order products using the Website, we offer you the opportunity to register for a personal account. If you take advantage of this opportunity, any personal data that you provide us with during the registration process will be stored in our database and need not be entered with each new order; it will be entered into the order form automatically.
2. To register, you must supply us via the online registration form with the following information: your name, surname, address, date of birth, email address and, where applicable, different delivery address. Once you click on the “Register” button, this information will be stored in our customer database. We will only use the stored data in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which can be accessed here. Please ensure that the details you provide us with are correct and complete and inform us immediately of any changes to the information that you provided when you registered.
3. After registering for a personal account, you will automatically be sent an email that your account has been created. Your email address will act as the user ID for your account. During the registration process you will be asked to create your own password. You will be given the opportunity to change the password when you log in to your account. You must keep your user ID and password confidential at all times and not make them available to any third party. You shall comply with all security directions and/or recommendations given by us and inform us immediately if you become aware of or suspect any unauthorised use of your account or if your account becomes available to an unauthorised party. Without prejudice to our other rights and remedies, we may suspend your access to the Website without liability to you, if in our reasonable opinion, such action is necessary for safeguarding the Website. You will be responsible for any misuse of your user ID and password.

3. Our Contract

1. 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 in the way specified below, your order forms a binding contract of sale between you and us as further set out at clause 4 below.
2. Purchases made on the Website are 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 of an item ordered by you or ordered to any one postal address.
3. 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.

4. The Order Process

1. You may select items from our range of products, details of which will be added to the "Shopping Bag" by clicking on the “Add to Shopping Bag” button. By clicking on the “Proceed to Checkout” button, you initiate the checkout process for the products added to the Shopping Bag. By clicking on the “Continue” button you submit an offer to buy the products in the Shopping Bag. Before placing an order you can view and amend your order details at any time by clicking on the “Shopping Bag & Checkout” button.
2. When you place your order to purchase products from the Website, we will automatically send you an email confirming receipt of your order and containing the details of your order (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.
3. We will send you a second email when we dispatch your products 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.
4. Such acceptance will be complete at the time we send the Acceptance Email to you. Any products on the same order which we have not confirmed in an Acceptance Email do not form part of that contract. 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 to the products that are available. No contract of sale will be concluded in respect of products that are not available. You are seeking to enter into a contract with us when you place an order. We will retain the title in the products until full payment has been made by you and has been received by us.
5. We reserve the right to hold any orders prior to shipping for security review.

5. Availability of Products and Delivery Times

1. We will notify you of the estimated delivery time for your products in the Acceptance Email. This estimated delivery date will usually be within three to five business days (i.e. excluding Saturday, Sunday and public holidays in the United Kingdom and in Germany where the products are shipped from) 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. We will endeavour to deliver all products you have ordered within the time period specified on your Acceptance Email. Please note that delivery dates are estimates only. Unless otherwise stated, dispatch dates are not guaranteed and should not be relied upon.
2. 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 30 days to deliver your products. If you change your mind in the meantime, you have the right to cancel your order in accordance with clause 8.
3. 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 can to get your order to you on time. Please note that during exceptionally busy periods (e.g. Christmas) or when the weather is particularly inclement please allow an additional day before raising a query.
4. Please note that the delivery company may require a signature on delivery and will not leave products without a signature. Orders can be delivered to a place of work which is usually easier and avoids the disappointment and delay of products being returned to us as undelivered by the courier.
5. 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. We regret that we cannot ship to the Channel Islands. In the event that an order is placed for a delivery to a location where we do not deliver to the order will be cancelled and a refund processed.
6. 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 time.
7. Where you have ordered multiple products, we may sometimes need to deliver your products in more than one delivery.
8. 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 to the products that are available. No contract of sale will be concluded in respect of products that are not available.
9. 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.

6. Prices and Delivery Charges

1. All of the prices listed on the Website include the currently applicable statutory value-added tax.
2. 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 mis-priced. 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.
3. Our delivery charges are as follows:
   
   Standard Delivery: £3.95
   Express Delivery: £9.95
   
   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.
4. Where you order multiple products, you will only be charged one delivery charge.

7. Payment

1. Payment for your products must be made via credit or debit card, via Paypal or other means as specified on the payment page.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.

8. Returns

1. You can only return to us products which have been purchased directly through this Website. If you purchased your products at a Lacoste boutique, other retail store or from another websites the products must be returned to the original store or site which they were purchased from.
2. 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.

Our Returns Procedure does not affect your statutory rights.
