LEGAL TRANSACTION-DISCLAIMER

 

To make a legal transaction you must have legal capacity:
1) As Consumer you must be over 18 years old,
2) As Supplier-Trader you must be duly authorized to
     purchase and make the payment.
We will not be liable for any faulty, mistaken or fake data they

You do not have the obligation to register with us, in order to visit and have access in 98% of the contents of this web-site. The rest 2% is reserved for registered members and can be only accessed by the use of a username and password.

Acting as a consumer, you must have legal capacity ( be over eighteen 18 years old) to be able to make a legal transaction and payment i.e. to purchase from our e-shop.

Acting as a trader-supplier, you must have legal authorization to represent a company or organization, in case you pay and buy on the account of a firm or corporation or institution, whatever.

E-lucehabitat will not accept any responsibility for any faulty, mistaken or fake data they might be declared while purchasing and paying—since it is impossible to verify their validity when declared-- and will not accept cancelation and refund a transaction, on the grounds that the person who submitted it and made the payment was unauthorized, or underage, but still had access to other people’s bank accounts or cards and mainly access to personal passwords and usernames.

 

 

CARD HOLDER'S RESPONSIBILITY

 

It is the card holder's resposibility to keep cards, confidential
data & accounts, safe and away from possible misusers.
We will not accept any responsibity for any fraudulent use
of your cards or accounts.


Please take care of your personal or corporate credit or debit cards as well as personal access information, passwords etc. There is always a possibility for a fraudulent use. We strongly believe that it is the card holder’s exclusive responsibility and care to keep his cards and accounts safe and away from possible misusers (kids, juveniles, disloyal employees, frustrated spouses, malignant in-laws etc.).

On the other hand, if the card is stolen an immediate acknowledgement to the bank and simultaneous inspection of your card’s account, will stop any transaction on the spot. Furthermore, we don’t  really believe that any thief would use a stolen card to risk a purchase over the internet, as the declared consignee’s address will be easily traced by the police.(and we don’t deliver to parcel collect points).

So please make sure that you and only you, have access to your cards, and always keep a frequent track on your card’s account for …unexplained queer transactions… Should you discover any peculiar transactions please take all necessary action and notify all involved parties immediately.

lucehabitat will not accept any liability for any fraudulent use of your cards or accounts, whatsoever.

 

 

 

CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP-BINDING CONTRACT-ORDER CONFIRMATION  

 

Official languages are Greek or English.
The contractual relationship becomes binding for each party
and concluded after:
a) The deposit & reception of your payment (your part)
b) Shipment of goods or e-mail an order confirmation (our part)


The official languages in our contractual relationship are Greek or English.
All the information quoted and the presentation of products in our  e-shop are not legally binding but just a mere informative invitation to buy.

If you decide to buy, your purchase is concluded when you make the payment. At this moment you are placing (accepting and submitting) a binding order. The date you submit the payment is considered to be the purchase date. This concludes your part of the contractual relationship.

Upon  reception of your order, it will automatically be given an ID number, and it will be acknowledged to you by return e-mail.( yet this is NOT acceptance or an order confirmation). After we have received your payment, we will check availability and accordingly accept your order i.e. conclude our part of the contractual relationship, either by shipping the goods--if ready in stock-- or, --if they must be ordered-- by sending you an e-mail with an order confirmation and other delivery details.

Consequently, an order shall be deemed mutually binding, and the contract concluded, only after:

a) the deposit and reception of payment have been done along with your  acceptance of all conditions described in the present text and b) after we have concluded the contract either by dispatching the goods or by transmitting you a binding order confirmation.

In case of foreseen non-availability for long or even inability, for any reason, to deliver you the ordered goods, you will be immediately notified and asked to decide, whether you want to wait or change your order or withdraw, whatever, and if you withdraw we will fully refund you at no cost.

 

 

 

METHODS OF PAYMENT

Payments can be effected by:

1) Debit, Credit, Prepaid or Virtual Prepaid card

2) Deposit, money-swift or wire transfer to our bank account.

Depending on which is more convenient for You, you can make payment with any of the below listed methods (please choose the way during the procedure "Completion of Purchase")

1)  Payment with Debit, Credit, Prepaid or Virtual Prepaid card.

Accepted cards are  VISA, VISA ELECTRON, MAESTRO, MASTERCARD or AMERICAN EXPRESS

Debit card is any CASH CARD connected with your bank's account, and allows you to make transactions via ATM's instead of cash. The whole amount of your payment will be charged to your account immediately. 
Credit card is a card that gives you credit up to a limit, and the payment will be charged to your card's account to be settled either next month, or whenever if you use amortization by minimum deposits. 
Prepaid is a card issued by a bank, after you have prepaid (charge it) any amount usually the amount equal to the purchase you intend to make. It is used instead of cash, and is a very safe way of payment (anywhere and the Internet too), because you do not run the risk of a theft or a fraudulent use of your finacial data, as there are no more money in it to be charged. If you want to make a new purchase, you prepay again (recharge it) at the bank and so on. Each time the payment is settled by deducting the relevant amount from the each time prepaid residual balance .

Virtual prepaid  is a card with no plastic, that you issue in your computer if you have e-banking and it is supported by your bank (it is a rather new way of payments not supported by all banks yet). It is used only for payments over the Internet, and is the most safe method, because each time you want to make a purchase, you do not have to declare your personal financial data, but instead you issue and declare a new virtual prepaid card, which cannot be used again. 

2) Payment with deposit, money swift or wire-transfer to our bank account.

You may choose among 2 banks: ALPHA BANK & PIRAEUS BANK

Account numbers,  ΙΒΑΝ  and SWIFT BIC CODE listed at the end

Payment can be effectuated by the following ways:

a) At a bank's counter  Deposit or wire-transfer done personally at a bank's counter.

Attention  this way may involve expenses for you. Please ask the bank a priori to avoid any surprise, because paying by this method you must cover both banks' expenses (transfering and receiving).
Please scan and send by e-mail the deposit documentation (with the purchase ID) or fax it to +302107258892. 

b) By e-banking Deposit or money transfer through the Internet.

It is the best and less expensive way to pay. Expense charges are negligible, especially between Eurozone countries, when for SEPA transfers the expenses are SHARED about € 3,00-6,00 for each party for transactions up to €12000,00.

Please check the relevant point, to make sure that expenses will be SHARED. In any case please consult your bank as well.

You can easily save or print and send by e-mail the deposit documentation (with the purchase ID)

PRICES – DISCOUNTS- PROMOTIONS

All prices include the legal VAT. Prices do not include bulbs (unless included by the manufacturer).

We follow the pricelists of manufacturers. Our prices are more or less discounted depending on each manufacturer pricing policy. 

For each item you can see two prices:
 - THE STRIKED i.e. the recommended manufacturer's  retail pricelist (incl VAT)
 - THE RED i.e.our offered discounted price at which you can aquire  the item.(incl VAT)

--Extra quantity discounts are offered (additionally and on the total amount) as follows:

2% if you exceed the purchase amount of € 1.000,00  (including VAT)

3% if you exceed the purchase amount of € 2.000,00  (including VAT)

4% if you exceed the purchase amount of € 3.000,00  (including VAT)

5% if you exceed the purchase amount of € 5.000,00  (including VAT)

7% if you exceed the purchase amount of € 8.000,00  (including VAT)

The above quantity discounts are quite significant  if you take into consideration

 that our  e-shop offers some single items exceeding  € 8.000,00 !(chandeliers,

collector’s items, big luminaires etc.).

These discounts are calculated automatically in your basket.

 

--Free shipping is also offered when you exceed the purchase amount of  € 300,00  in Greece, or € 400,00 in most EU and other countries. Please consult the section with the shipping costs details. In any case please contact us directly (e-mail or phone) and we will inform you accordingly.

But If you place an order and leave to transfer the payment later on (bank deposit, web-banking etc) , the price for the transaction would be the valid price at the moment you will effectuate the payment. So, please when you  make a transfer payment, always make sure that you have the correct  prices in your order.

    We deliver "Door-Door" and in special circumstances (inaccessible areas) "Door-Point" unless you want to cover the extra door-door costs.


    Delivery times are the dates of receipt of the goods by the carrier and are always INDICATIVE.


    Depending on their availability, the goods may be:

    a) ready-made in our warehouses.

    b) ready-made in the manufacturer's warehouses.

    c) Not ready for delivery temporarily but expected by the manufacturer's department.

    d) not ready-manufactured only on request.

    As already mentioned, the orders are forwarded and the products are shipped after your payment and after it has been credited to our account.

    •  IF YOUR ADDRESS IS IN A SMALL TOWN, VILLAGE, INACCESIBLE AREAS etc.

    Delivery will become a "Door-Point" which means that the goods will be delivered to the closest customer service point of the carrier in the nearest city from where you can pick them up.


    If you still want a door-to-door delivery, you will have to cover the extra cost. If your address is in an extremely inaccessible area (eg a mountain, a small island etc) we will work out the best way of delivery. Anyway, in such a case, we will always be in touch to discuss the most mutually convenient solution to the issue.


    If you want an express air express, we can take care of it, and you have to cover all costs. If the carrier does not accept payment of the fare at the destination, we will inform you to advance the fare to our account.


    The delivery dates displayed in the e-shop or order confirmations - mainly for goods produced on demand (demand) and expected by the manufacturers - are indicative and any delay, under any circumstances, is a reason for claiming damages for any damage form. Date of delivery is the date when the goods will be collected by the courier-carrier to be sent to you.


    This means that it will take a few days to reach you, about 3-6 days for regular packages and 6-12 days for bulky loads, but in any case it depends on the destination.


    All goods are shipped, in their original packaging which has been tested for safe international transport.

    Goods travel on behalf and at the purchaser-recipient risk. Nonetheless, they are insured as described in the following chapter INSURANCE-CLAIMS.

In case you want full insurance coverage of the value of the order (full insurance package) you must pay the corresponding value after contacting the store at [email protected].

Upon reception of the goods, should you detect any damages or squeezes or openings or distortions or any sign of mishandling of the packages, you must do the following:

a)  TAKE SOME SNAPSHOT PICTURES WITH YOUR MOBILE OR CAMERA. (Take shots including the lamp and the packaging in the same picture, as well as some detail pictures of the part that has been damaged) Without pictures we will not accept any damage claim.

If there are REFUSE to accept the goods and notify us immediately by e-mail sending the pictures as well.

SPECIAL ORDERS & OFFERS

 

a) The "Special Orders" as explained below, are marked on each product page with the corresponding word marking and their order is irrevocable.

Not all luminaires are in stock, even by the manufacturers. Many luminaires are only produced when requested, which makes them, by nature, considered "special orders" or personalized constructions.

Although these models appear in the catalogs of the companies, they are not kept in stock and available at the moment, due to their complexity, the difficulty in their construction, their high price, their slow traffic speed, the wide variety of colors and sizes, the large their volume, etc. and are produced only after a customer requests them. 
Also, some companies keep in stock semi-finished or spare parts of the products and only when they are ordered do they proceed with painting, assembly, final finishing, packaging and shipping. Products of this kind are indicative lighting systems, special lighting, all kinds of handmade chandeliers, objects made of blown crystal, furniture, fiber optics, special colors, industrial lighting, specially designed orders, special devices LED etc.). These orders concerning goods that are made only on demand, ie after a relevant order, are considered and are "special orders".


All these orders are irrevocable (without the right of withdrawal) strictly after the date of confirmation of the order. However, we will make sure that the order confirmation is sent to you at least seven (7) days after you have made the payment, since there is time until they are sent.

We have included them in our e-shop simply to give you the opportunity to choose from a wide variety, and especially the opportunity to obtain high value luminaires at extremely affordable prices. On the other hand, we hope it is understandable that it is not at all easy (not to say impossible), to start the production of a special item and suddenly have to stop, or worse in the end to remain as a stock ...


b) "Special Offers" are luminaires that are no longer in the manufacturer's production and their order is irrevocable.

These luminaires are available at special prices (even below cost) until stock runs out.

These luminaires are included in the "Special Offers" category on our website.

These luminaires are stored in our warehouses or of the respective supplier while samples of them are displayed in our showroom.

For the specific products there is no right of withdrawal and they are not returned.

No returns will be accepted (even defective items covered under warranty) if not returned within the full (internal and external) packaging. This is very important because it is the only way we can and we also return those goods manufacturers. 

So, please when you receive an item, do not dispose or destroy the package, at least for the first 72 hours, you can raise a claim of defect or damage. In fact you have to keep forever, does need to load the goods for any reason safely. 

Important when receiving the parcel, please check if everything is okay. If you notice any signs of distortion packaging or mishandling, you should take all necessary steps outlined in Section-INSURANCE CLAIMS REQUIREMENTS. Please read and act accordingly, otherwise you will not be reimbursed. 

We will deny any liability and any refund if you do not do so in this manner, and therefore, the insurance company rejected the claim as time-barred.
