​

• These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "GTC") of Lou Fiedeler, trading under "L'OU skincare" (hereinafter "Seller"), apply to all contractual relationships between Seller and consumers or entrepreneurs (hereinafter referred to as "customer"), who purchase goods in Seller’s online store. Conditions that contradict or differ from our GTC shall not apply.

• This GTC apply as well to the selling of the gift cards and promotional vouchers.

​

​

2. Conclusion of the contract

​

• The offers in Seller’s online store are non-binding from the Seller’s side and serve as an invitation to customers to buy goods.

​

• The customer may submit the offer via the online order form integrated into the online shop of the seller. In this case, after the customer has placed the selected goods in the virtual shopping cart and has gone through the electronic ordering process, by clicking on the button concluding the ordering process, the customer submits a legally binding contract offer in relation to the goods contained in the shopping cart.

​

• The seller may accept the offer of the customer within five days,

​

• by providing the customer with a written order confirmation or an order confirmation in text form (fax or e-mail), in which case the receipt of the order confirmation by the customer is decisive, or

​

• by delivering the ordered goods to the customer, in which case the access of the customer to the goods is decisive, or

​

• by asking the customer for payment after submitting his/her order. 

 

If several of the aforementioned alternatives exist, the contract is concluded at the time when one of the aforementioned alternatives occurs first. The period for acceptance of the offer begins on the day following the date on which the offer is sent by the customer and ends on the fifth day following the dispatch of the offer. If the seller does not accept the offer of the customer within the aforementioned period, this shall be deemed a rejection of the offer with the consequence that the customer is no longer bound by his/her declaration of intent.

​

• If the payment method "PayPal Express" is selected, the payment is processed via the payment service provider PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, SCA, 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter "PayPal"), under the terms of the PayPal Terms of Use, available here:  or - if the customer does not have a PayPal account - under the terms and conditions of payments without a PayPal account, available here . If the customer selects "PayPal Express" as the payment method in the online order process, the payment order is also issued to PayPal by clicking on the button that concludes the order process. In this case, the seller already declares the acceptance of the offer of the customer at the time in which the customer triggers the payment process by clicking the button concluding the order process.

​

• When placing an offer via the online order form of the seller, the contract text will be stored by the seller after the conclusion of the contract and sent to the customer together with the order in writing (eg e-mail, fax or letter). Any further provision of the contract by the seller is not possible. If the customer has set up a user account in the seller's online shop before submitting the order, the order data will be archived on the seller's website and can be called up by the customer via the password-protected user account with the corresponding login data.

​

• Prior to the binding submission of the order via the seller's online order form, the customer can recognise possible input errors by carefully reading the information displayed on the screen. An effective technical means for better recognition of input errors can be the enlargement function of the browser, with the help of which the display on the screen is enlarged. As part of the electronic ordering process, the customer can correct the input via the usual keyboard and mouse functions until clicking on the button that concludes the ordering process.

​

• The contract is concluded in English.

​

• Order processing and contacting are carried out by e-mail and automated order processing. The customer must ensure that the e-mail address specified by him/her for the order processing is correct so that at this address the e-mails sent by the seller can be received.
