SECTION 2 - USING THIS WEBSITE

You agree to use this website only for lawful purposes.

You must not misuse this website, attempt to interfere with its security, copy or scrape content without permission, upload harmful code, impersonate another person, or use the website in a way that could damage LouLou Art, Shopify or other users.

You must ensure that any information you provide when placing an order is accurate, current and complete.


SECTION 3 - OUR PRODUCTS

We make every effort to describe and photograph products accurately.

However, please note:

  • Colours may appear slightly different depending on your screen, lighting and device settings.

  • 3D printed items may show small layer lines, slight texture, minor imperfections or small variations.

  • Handmade and printed-to-order items may vary slightly from photographs.

  • Sizes are approximate unless stated otherwise.

  • PLA items should be kept away from high heat, hot cars, radiators and prolonged direct sunlight, as PLA can soften at higher temperatures.

  • Products are intended for decorative, storage or accessory use only unless clearly stated otherwise.

  • Items are not toys unless specifically described as such.

Product descriptions, prices and availability may be changed or withdrawn at any time.


SECTION 4 - MADE TO ORDER AND CUSTOM ITEMS

Some LouLou Art items are printed to order, made to order, personalised or custom made.

This may include, but is not limited to:

  • personalised pet portraits

  • items with names, dates or custom wording

  • custom colour combinations

  • custom designs

  • made-to-order pieces created specifically for your order

For personalised or custom-made items, please check all details carefully before ordering.

Once work has started on a personalised or custom-made item, cancellations may not be possible unless the item is faulty or not as described.

For custom orders, we may contact you to confirm details, request images or approve a design draft before printing begins. Please check your email and spam/junk folder after ordering.

If you do not provide the information needed to complete a custom order within a reasonable time, this may delay your order.


SECTION 5 - ORDERS

When you place an order, you are making an offer to buy the item(s) in your basket.

Your order is accepted when we confirm it and begin processing it.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order if:

  • there is an error in the product listing or price

  • the item is unavailable

  • payment cannot be processed

  • the order appears fraudulent

  • required custom information has not been provided

  • the order cannot reasonably be fulfilled

If we need to cancel your order, we will contact you using the details provided and issue any refund due.

Please check your order details carefully before completing checkout.


SECTION 6 - PRICES AND PAYMENT

All prices are shown in GBP (£).

Prices may change at any time, but changes will not affect orders already placed and accepted.

Shipping costs are shown at checkout before payment is completed.

Payment is processed securely through Shopify and/or the payment providers available at checkout. We do not store your full payment card details.

You are responsible for providing accurate billing, delivery and contact information.


SECTION 7 - DELIVERY

Delivery times shown on the website are estimates only.

We will aim to dispatch orders within the processing time shown on each product listing. Made-to-order and custom items may take longer than ready-made items.

We are not responsible for delays caused by postal services, couriers, incorrect delivery information, strikes, severe weather, customs delays or events outside our control.

Please make sure your delivery address is correct before placing your order.

If an item is returned to us because the address provided was incorrect or incomplete, you may need to pay for redelivery.

If your parcel appears lost or delayed, please contact us and we will look into it.


SECTION 8 - RETURNS, REFUNDS AND CANCELLATIONS

Please see our Refund Policy for full details.

For standard non-personalised items bought online, you usually have the right to cancel your order within 14 days of receiving it, unless an exception applies.

Returned items must be returned in unused condition and safely packaged.

Personalised or custom-made items cannot usually be returned or cancelled once work has begun, unless they arrive faulty, damaged or not as described.

This does not affect your statutory rights.

If an item arrives damaged, faulty or incorrect, please contact us as soon as possible with your order number and photographs so we can help resolve the issue.
