Please read these terms and conditions carefully before ordering from our site. You should understand that by ordering any of our Products, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

1. Information About Us
1.1 www.lavitgallery.com is registered in the Republic of Ireland under company number 243114 and with our registered office at Lavit Gallery, Wandesford Quay, Clarke’s Bridge, Cork, Ireland.
2. Your Status
By placing an order through our site, you warrant that:
(a) You are legally capable of entering into binding contracts; and
(b) You are at least eighteen (18) years old.
3. How the Contract is Formed Between You and Us
3.1 After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Product has been dispatched (the Shipment Confirmation). The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Shipment Confirmation.
3.2 The Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Shipment Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Shipment Confirmation.
4. Consumer Rights / Cooling Off Period
4.1 If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within fourteen (14) calendar days, beginning on the day after you received the Products. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in paragraph 9 below) subject to prompt return by you of the Products in question. Your refund will be issued upon receipt of the returned order to the gallery.
4.2 To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing by sending us an email to info@lavitgallery.com and return the Product(s) to us immediately (within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date when you communicate to us that you are exercising the cooling off period), in the same condition and packaging in which you received them, and at your own cost and risk.
5. Availability and Delivery
5.1 Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Shipment Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within thirty (30) days of the date of the Shipment Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
5.2 Failure by us to deliver the Products within the agreed time period shall not amount to a breach of contract by us and you shall not be entitled to damages or other compensation or to cancel any contract by reason of such failure to deliver. Where technical or other queries requiring your approval cause the processing of the Product to be delayed, the delivery time is automatically extended by the time taken to answer such queries.
6. Risk and Title
6.1 As and from shipment, you are responsible for any loss or damage to or deterioration in the Products from whatever cause arising, unless otherwise agreed in writing by us.
6.2 Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges where relevant.
7. Price and Payment
7.1 All prices shall be payable in the currency quoted.
7.2 The price of any Products will be as quoted on our site, except in cases of obvious error. These prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs, where relevant.
7.3 All prices quoted are subject to alteration or withdrawal from time to time without notice, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Shipment Confirmation
7.4 Our site contains many Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product’s correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
7.5 We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Shipment Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognized by you as a mis-pricing.
7.6 Payment for all Products must be made by credit/debit card or any other payment mechanism made available on the site. We will require payment for the full amount on confirmation of your order.
8. Description of Products

9. Complaints and Refunds
9.1 No complaint in respect of the Products shall be considered by us unless the complaint is received in writing by us within fourteen (14) days of delivery. No complaint in respect of the delivery of Products shall be considered by us unless the complaint is received in writing by us within twenty-eight (28) days of delivery.
9.2 You shall not be entitled to return any of the Products supplied by us unless covered by the fourteen (14) day cooling off period. You shall be responsible for all shipping costs to return the Product to us during the fourteen (14) day cooling off period. When you return a Product to us (for instance, because you have cancelled the Contract between us during the fourteen (14) day cooling off period, or because you claim that the Product is defective), we will examine the returned Product and will notify you of your refund (for the price paid for the Product) via e-mail within a reasonable period of time. We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within thirty (30) days of the day we received your cancellation or the day we confirmed to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund for delivery of the defective Product.
9.3 Where a complaint has been made in accordance with the provisions of this clause and we agree that the goods are faulty due to defective workmanship, we shall at our option either:
(a) repair the goods; or
(b) when the defective goods have been returned deliver replacement goods, or
(c) cancel the agreement forthwith.
9.4 In agreeing to take such action, we shall specify whether the cost of such action shall be borne by us or by you or partly by us and partly by you.
