Terms & Conditions

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS & CONDITIONS THEY FORM A CONTRACT THAT IS LEGALLY BINDING ON YOU. 

Welcome to our website (www.myhaute.co.nz) (the "Website" or the "Site")
These Terms of Sale (the "Terms") are supplemented by our Website Terms of Use and they are binding upon you.

These Terms tell you the terms and conditions on which we supply to you any of the products/services ("Products/Services") listed on our website. The following Terms apply when you order Products/Services from our site. Please read these Terms carefully before ordering any Products/Services. You should understand that by ordering any of our Products/Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you find yourself unable to agree to these Terms please do not use our ordering service and we ask that you do not proceed to purchase any Products/Services listed on the Site.

By using this website you acknowledge that you accept these Terms when you order any Products/Services from our Site. 

www.myhaute.co.nz is a Site owned and operated by My Haute Limited ("we", “us”, “our”). We are a limited liability company registered in New Zealand.

Our Products, except where expressly stated, are pre-loved, meaning that the Product has been pre-owned and usually worn. Please take into consideration that our Products may therefore have slight imperfections due to their age and previous wear. Where Products have a material imperfection this will be stated in the description of the item on the Site. We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours and images of our products, we cannot guarantee that your electronic display of any colour will be accurate. If in doubt, please ask us to elaborate on item specifics.

We guarantee 100% authenticity of Products which are stated in the item description to be a designer label. By accepting these Terms you confirm that you have understood the description of the Product including any imperfections.

All Products are measured lying flat.

Products are measured in the following way:
 bags and wallets are measured by width, height, depth and, where applicable, handle drop;
 accessories are measured by width, length and height. All other curiosities and objects are measured by height, width, and depth.

By placing an order through our Site, you warrant that you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts.

6. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US

Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy one or more of the Products/Services listed on our Site.

After placing and paying for your order via the Website, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order and that the order is accepted (the "Order Confirmation"). Alternatively, we will send you an email advising that we are unable to fulfil the order. The contract between you and us for the purchase of Products/Services (the "Contract") will only be formed when we send you the Order Confirmation, whether or not you receive such email. At that time a legally binding agreement on these Terms will become effective.

If you notice an error in the Order Confirmation you must notify us immediately by emailing shop@myhaute.co.nz.

7. AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY

Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Order Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within a reasonable time of the date of the Order Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

The Products/Services ordered by you can only be delivered to the delivery address provided by you when placing your order and upon which our Order Confirmation is based. We only deliver to physical residential or business addresses, not to PO Box addresses or the like.

If we cannot deliver your order within the period specified in our Order Confirmation then we will contact you (Within 48 hours) to notify you of the same and you may choose to cancel your order, and in those circumstances we will provide you with a full refund if we receive notice of cancellation before dispatching the Products for delivery to you.

If by chance a customer has purchased the same item as you in a concession or private viewing at the same time as you have purchased online, we will refund you fully or endeavour to find you a similar item if you wish.

When we deliver the Products to you we will always require a signature confirming that all Products covered by the specific Order Confirmation have been delivered.

8. RISK AND TITLE

Ownership will pass to you when we receive payment in full for the Products ordered. The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery. When posting items to us, we recommend a signature required courier service, no liability will be accepted for items lost or damaged in transit, or while in our care. 

9. PRICE AND PAYMENT

The price of any Products/Services will be as quoted on the Site from time to time. These prices are inclusive of goods and services tax (if any) but are exclusive of all other levies, charges, taxes and duties.

The prices quoted exclude delivery costs, which will be clearly stated and added to the total amount due. The cost of delivery will vary upon the weight of the Products, the packaging required and the delivery address.

Our Site contains a number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed may be incorrectly priced or already sold. We will normally verify prices and availability as part of our Order Confirmation procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will refund the difference. 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 and the reason for it.

We are under no obligation to provide any Product/Service to you at an incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you an Order Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a miss-pricing.

Payment for all Products/Services must be by credit or debit card, cash or bank transfer from a New Zealand bank account. For bank transfers, payment is required upon completion of checkout. Cards accepted by us are listed on our Website on the date when your order is placed.
For our spa services, online authentication and valuation services, payment is required in advance, if for any reason we are unable to assist, a full refund will be provided to you within 5 days. For our consignment service, a service fee of $50 plus any applicable return courier cost may be charged at our discretion in the event a consignment is cancelled.

For lay-by payment, a non-refundable deposit of 10% of the total order amount is required on completion of checkout. The balance is due over a maximum period of 6 weeks in either weekly or fortnightly instalments, unless otherwise agreed by us. Myhaute.co.nz will send you a confirmation that we have received your deposit and to confirm the terms of your lay-by. We reserve the right to cancel a lay-by contract with no notice if these conditions are not met and in this instance the 10% deposit will be forfeited.

All credit/debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses or for any reason does not authorise payment to us, whether in advance of or subsequent to a payment, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery of the Products/Services ordered.

10. SECURITY TAGGING

Our Products are packed and delivered with a noticeable tag ("Tag") or several Tags attached. Once the Tag is unsealed it must not be resealed. The purpose of the Tag is to assure us that an item has not been worn. A Product is deemed to have been worn once the Tag is unsealed.

11. OUR REFUNDS AND RETURNS POLICY

We hope you are pleased with your purchase but should you wish to return it you must notify us in writing at shop@myhaute.co.nz within 24 hours of the date of delivery otherwise your right to return the item or product will be deemed to have been forfeited by you. We do not offer returns for change of mind.

We pride ourselves on sourcing products in the best condition possible, however pre-loved items will show age appropriate wear unless otherwise stated. Our condition rating is only our professional opinion. Surface wear and general wear and tear is to be expected. This includes surface scratches and light markings. Email us for extra photos if required. We will not refund or exchange items based on "condition" or change of mind. As these are pre-loved and at times vintage items, we do not provide guarantees on workmanship or warranty on longevity of use. We recommend general designer care guidelines as described here.
