Thank you for visiting Loupe.co.uk. Here’s our terms and conditions - all the important information you might need when using the Loupe website. We’ve broken it down so it's easier to navigate and so you don’t get lost in all the legal jargon.

General

These terms and conditions apply to the use of this website. By accessing and ordering from this website you agree to be bound by the terms set out below. Any contract formed between ourselves shall be governed by English Law and any disputes that arise will be resolved exclusively in the Courts of England.

Content and amendments

We take care and time to try and ensure our website is as accurate as possible, both in terms of prices displayed and description of products and services. All measurements displayed are approximate and any errors will be wholly unintentional. Orders will only be accepted should there be no material errors. We take no responsibility for colours of products not matching the colour displayed on your monitor as this depends entirely on the colour reproduction and capabilities of your screen.

We may make changes to the website at any time without notice or warning, including:

  • Changes to these terms and conditions
  • Changes to promotions, offers and discounts
  • Changes to content and product information
  • Temporary or permanent withdrawal of the website

Copyright and intellectual property

All website content, copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights available when using this website shall remain the property of Loupe the Jewellers Ltd or its suppliers. Permission is given to all purchasers to electronically copy and print sections of this site for personal non-commercial use only and for the sole purpose of using this website. Any other use, without the written permission of Loupe, is strictly prohibited.

Pricing

Prices displayed are in Pounds Sterling and inclusive of VAT.

If a sale price is quoted, the normal price will have applied either online or in the boutique for at least 28 consecutive days in the last six months.

Whilst we endeavour to ensure all prices are correct at time of publication, we reserve the right to reject an order should there have been a material error in the price advertised at time of order.

Placing an order

Once you have completed your online purchase, we will send an email confirmation containing details of your order. This confirmation does not act as acceptance of your order as this is subject to the following:

  • The product being in-stock and available for delivery
  • The information and pricing being accurate
  • Fraud and identity checks being passed (for which we use 3rd party services)
  • Payment being authorised

Subject to the above, we will despatch your order and send an email confirmation to let you know it’s on its way. It is at this point that a contract will exist under these terms and conditions.

Identity checks

We carry out identification checks on all orders to validate the details supplied within your order. This is to prevent against fraudulent card activity and to promote a secure shopping experience. When carrying out checks, we use publicly available records such as the Electoral Roll and may elect third party services such as Experian to perform checks on our behalf. Should we suspect fraudulent activity we may need to contact you to verify your information. If your order fails identification checks we reserve the right to refuse your order and cancel any pending payments.

Whilst we’ll endeavour to meet your promised delivery date, if we do need to carry out further security checks, there may be a slight delay with your order.

Finance and payments

Finance is offered by V12 Retail Finance and PayPal Credit. V12 Retail Finance is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Credit is subject to status. Terms and Conditions apply.

At time of ordering, we will contact your card issuer to authorise payment and validate that you have the relevant funds available. Should the card issuer authorise the payment we will place a hold on those funds to ensure they can be debited at time of despatch. This means you will be unable to access those funds within your account. We do not have knowledge of your card number. Instead, our payment processor sends us a secure token, which we store; we use this token to request the processor to debit the funds from your card, when we despatch your order.

No charge will be made until your order is despatched.

Should we need to cancel your order, we will release the ‘hold’ that we have over any funds. Please be aware that dependant on your bank it may take up to five working days before those funds become cleared again in your account.

If you choose to pay for your order using Interest Free Credit your order must be delivered to your billing address or to a Loupe boutique or Post Office using our Boutique Collection service. Interest Free Credit is not available on orders delivered outside the UK.
