PRODUCT AVAILABILITY
The images of the products on the Site are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colors accurately, we cannot guarantee that your computer's display of the colors accurately reflects the color of the products, and the products you receive may vary from those images.
While we use reasonable efforts to maintain accurate pricing, availability, and other information about products displayed on the Site, such information does not warrant or guarantee that the products will be available if you wish to place an order to purchase them.
We have the right, at any time, to make changes to the information about products displayed on the Site, including without limitation information about prices, description or the availability of products and we may do so without prior notice to you. Changes will not, however, impact the price, availability or description of any products for which you received an Order Confirmation.
GIFTS
You may purchase products for delivery to a recipient other than yourself (a "Gift").
Please note that it is your responsibility to provide the recipient’s personal data in compliance with all applicable privacy laws.
If we accept your order, you will receive an Order Confirmation from us at the time we ship your Gift to the recipient, and an e-invoice for your order.
PRICES AND PAYMENTS
All prices for products are displayed on the Site and will be confirmed in the order check-out page, in the Order Confirmation, and in the e-invoice you receive after we accept your order.
We reserve the right to vary the price of our products at any time, provided that we will not alter the price of any products after we send you the Order Confirmation. Please be aware that prices charged for any products purchased on the Site may vary to reflect local market pricing and applicable duties.
Any taxes and duties are not included and are calculated according to the value of your order and your shipping destination. If you placed your order from an Internet Protocol address originating in the United States, any such taxes and duties will be itemized on the order check-out page, the Order Confirmation, and the e-mailed invoice.
All shipping charges are your responsibility, unless waived by Loro Piana. Shipping charges will be calculated and displayed on the Site prior to finalizing your order. Shipping charges are subject to change without notice.
Loro Piana accepts payment by credit card, Paypal, e-wallet and Pay By Link, as listed on out check-out page. By submitting your order, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the designated payment method and authorize us to charge your order (including taxes, shipping and handling) to that payment method. Payment must be made in the currency as indicated on your order before you submit it.
Payment by credit card.
All transactions on the Site are processed using a payment gateway. By submitting your order, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the designated credit card and authorize us to charge your order (including taxes, shipping and handling) to that card. If the card cannot be verified or is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, your order may be suspended or cancelled automatically.
You must supply your card details when you place your order. We will place a “hold” on your payment card for the total value of your order. If the “hold” on your card has been authorized by your bank, your credit card will be debited for the total value of the Order Confirmation at the time the products are shipped to you. We will not accept your order or ship the products to you until your credit card issuer has authorized the use of your card for payment of the products ordered. If we do not receive such authorization, we will notify you by e-mail. We reserve the right to verify the identity of the credit card holder by requesting appropriate documentation. After a “hold” on your payment card has been authorized by your bank, please be advised that, in case your credit card is debited for a lower amount than the total amount “held”, it is possible that the balance will not immediately be fully available to you for reasons beyond our control (e.g., delays by your credit card issuer in removing the “hold” from your credit card).
Please note that Loro Piana is not responsible for any fees imposed by your credit card company, such as currency conversion fees.
If you intend to dispute the validity or amount of any charge that appears on your credit card statement with your credit card company, we encourage you to first contact our customer service department to determine if we can address any concerns that you may have.
We accept the following credit, charge and debit cards: Amex, Diners, Discover, MasterCard and Visa.
Payment by PayPal.
If you choose PayPal as your payment method, you will be redirected to the website www.paypal.com/us where the payment for the products will be carried out following the procedure outlined and regulated by PayPal. By choosing to pay using PayPal, you acknowledge and agree that you will be subject to PayPal’s terms and conditions. The data entered on the PayPal website will be handled directly by PayPal and will not be sent to or shared with us, except for the data that are necessary to perform the delivery of the products if you select the option of PayPal express check out. We will therefore have no knowledge of and cannot record in any way the details of the credit card connected to your PayPal account or any other payment instrument connected to said account.
We will place a “hold” on your PayPal account for the total value of your order. If the “hold” on your PayPal account has been authorised by PayPal, your PayPal account will be debited for the total cost of your order, as indicated in the Order Confirmation, at the time the Products are shipped to you. We will not accept your order, neither will we supply the Products to you until PayPal has authorised the use of your PayPal account for payment of the Products you ordered. If we do not receive such authorisation we will notify you. We reserve the right to verify the identity of the PayPal account holder by requesting appropriate documentation.
After a “hold” on your PayPal account has been authorized by PayPal, please be advised that, if your PayPal account is debited for a lower amount than the total amount so “held” (eg: if certain products are out of stock), it is possible that the balance will not be immediately fully available to you for reasons beyond our control (eg: delays by PayPal in removing the “hold” from your PayPal account).

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
Please read the following Dispute Resolution and Arbitration; Class Action Waiver provision (this “Provision”) carefully. It affects your rights.
Please read this Provision carefully. It provides that all Disputes (as defined below) between you and Loro Piana shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution and replaces the right to go to court. In the absence of this arbitration agreement, you may otherwise have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). Except as otherwise provided, entering into these Terms of Sale constitutes a waiver of your right to litigate claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow these Terms of Sale and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees).
For purposes of this Provision, “Loro Piana” means Loro Piana & C. Inc. and its parents, subsidiaries, and affiliate companies, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents. The term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Loro Piana regarding, arising out of or relating to any aspect of your relationship with Loro Piana, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable cause of action or claim for relief, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below). “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced, and shall include any claims against other parties relating to services or products provided or billed to you (such as Loro Piana’s licensors, suppliers, dealers or third-party vendors) whenever you also assert claims against us in the same proceeding.
YOU AND LORO PIANA EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION.
Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution
For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first give Loro Piana an opportunity to resolve the Dispute. You must commence this process by emailing us written notification to customerservice.us@loropiana.com . That written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of the Dispute, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. If Loro Piana does not resolve the Dispute within 45 days after it receives your written notification, you may pursue your Dispute in arbitration. You may pursue your Dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.
Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out
Notwithstanding the above, you or Loro Piana may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if (a) the Dispute qualifies, it may be initiated in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THESE TERMS OF SALE (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). You may opt out of this Provision by emailing us written notification to customerservice.us@loropiana.com Your written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with Loro Piana through arbitration. Your decision to opt-out of this Provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with Loro Piana. Any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your Dispute in arbitration or small claims court.
Arbitration Procedures
If this Provision applies and the Dispute is not resolved as provided above (Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution) either you or Loro Piana may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com, will arbitrate all Disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration only, and shall in no event be commenced as a class arbitration or a consolidated or representative action or arbitration. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Provision.
For arbitration before AAA, for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules For Emergency Measures Of Protection shall apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols For Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. This Provision governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class action or representative action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.
Because these Terms of Sale concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all Disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.
Arbitration Award – The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party or if required by applicable law. Such award will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA or other applicable law, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.
Location of Arbitration – You or Loro Piana may initiate arbitration in either New York City, NY or the federal judicial district that includes your billing address. However, if Loro Piana initiates the arbitration in New York, you shall have the right to have the arbitration transferred to the AAA or JAMS office within the judicial district that includes your billing address.
Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs – Loro Piana will pay all arbitration filing fees and AAA or JAMS hearing fees and any arbitrator's hearing fees, costs and expenses upon your written request to the arbitrator given at or before the first evidentiary hearing in the arbitration. You are responsible for all additional fees and costs that you incur in the arbitration, including, but not limited to, attorneys or expert witnesses. Fees and costs may be awarded as provided pursuant to applicable law. In addition to any rights to recover fees and costs under applicable law, if you provide notice and negotiate in good faith with Loro Piana as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.
Class Action Waiver
Except as otherwise provided in this Provision, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action, representative action, or private attorney general action) unless both you and Loro Piana specifically agree to do so in writing following initiation of the arbitration. If you choose to pursue your Dispute in court by opting out of the Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to you. Neither you, nor any other user of the Loro Piana Service can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.
No Judge or Jury in Arbitration
Arbitration does not involve a judge or jury. You understand and agree that by entering into these Terms of Sale you and Loro Piana are each giving up the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this Provision, you and Loro Piana might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring Disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that you would have if you went to court, such as the right to appeal and to certain types of discovery, may be more limited or may also be waived.
Severability
If any clause within this Provision (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Provision, and the remainder of this Provision will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Provision will be unenforceable, and the Dispute will be decided by a court.
Continuation
This Provision shall survive the termination of your service with Loro Piana or its affiliates. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Sale to the contrary, you and Loro Piana agree that if Loro Piana makes any change to this Provision (other than a change to the Notice Address), you may reject any such change and require Loro Piana to adhere to the present language in this Provision if a dispute between us arises.
