Should a product be damaged or defective at the time of delivery, please notify us within 7 (seven) days of such delivery by logging a return on the website. We will arrange to collect the product from you at no charge. Once we have inspected the product and validated your return, we will at your choice replace the product as soon as possible or credit your account with the purchase price of the product (or refund you if that is your preference). If the replacement takes longer than 21 days, we will get in touch with you to see if you would rather receive a refund. Please note that we only refund to the payment method that you originally used, payment by credit card will be refunded to the same credit card

Unfortunately, we cannot facilitate returns that fall outside of a 30 (thirty) day period.

To ensure your request is processed as quickly as possible you are responsible to package your goods safely and securely for protection during transit; clearly mark your return reference number on the outside of the parcel. Failure to adhere to any of these requirements could delay the processing of your request.

Registration and use of the website 

Only registered users may order goods on the website. To register as a user, you must provide a unique username and password and provide certain information and personal details to LV Nutritional Products (Pty) Ltd.

You will need to use your unique username and password to access the website in order to purchase goods. You agree and warrant that your username and password shall be used for personal use only and not be disclosed by you to any third party.

For security purposes you agree to enter the correct username and password whenever ordering goods, failing which you will be denied access. You agree that, once the correct username and password relating to your account have been entered, irrespective of whether the use of the username and password is unauthorised or fraudulent, you will be liable for payment of such order, save where the order is cancelled by you within 3 (three) days. You agree to notify LV Nutritional Products (Pty) Ltd immediately upon becoming aware of or reasonably suspecting any unauthorised access to or use of your username and password and to take steps to mitigate any resultant loss or harm.

By using the website you warrant that you are 18 (eighteen) years of age or older and of full legal capacity. You may not use the information contained in the website without the express prior written consent of an authorised LV representative.

Conclusion of sales and availability of stock

Registered users may place orders for goods, which LV Nutritional Products (Pty) Ltd may accept or reject depending on the availability of Goods and receipt of payment or payment authorisation for the Goods.

LV Nutritional Products (Pty) Ltd will process your order within 3 (three) working days after all required information has been received and confirm delivery by way of a tracking company waybill number which will indicate the acceptance of your order. LV Nutritional Products (Pty) Ltd will indicate the rejection of your order by cancelling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid.

Prior to delivery of the goods, you may cancel an order at any time although such cancellations will attract a 5% (five percent) administration fee. After delivery, you may return the Goods only in accordance with the Returns Policy.

Placing Goods in a wish list or shopping basket without completing the purchase cycle does not constitute an order for such goods. Goods may be removed from the shopping basket  if stock is no longer available or the price thereof changed without notice to you.

Goods may not be purchased for resale. Should we suspect that any such goods are being purchased for sale, we are entitled to cancel your order immediately on notice to you.

Payment 

We are committed to providing secure online payment facilities. All transactions are encrypted using appropriate encryption technology.

Payment can be made by debit card or credit card. Where payment is made by credit card, we may require additional information in order to authorise and/or verify the validity of payment. In such cases we are entitled to withhold delivery until such time as the additional information is received by us and authorisation is obtained by us for the amounts. If you pay by direct bank deposit or electronic funds transfer, payment must be made immediately on placing your order. Once you have selected your payment method, you will be directed to a link to a secure site for payment of the applicable purchase price for the Goods. LV Nutritional Products (Pty) Ltd will not accept your order if payment has not been received.

You may contact us to obtain a full record of your payment. We will also send you email communications about your order and payment.

Shipping and delivery

After acceptance of your order, LV Nutritional Products (Pty) Ltd will deliver the goods to you as soon as reasonably possible, but no later than 30 (thirty) days of receipt of your payment. We will notify you if we are unable to deliver the Goods within 30 (thirty) days. You may then, within 7 (seven) days of receiving such notification elect whether or not to cancel your order for the goods. If you elect to cancel your order, we will reimburse you for the purchase price.

LV Nutritional Products (Pty) Ltd’ obligation to deliver a product to you is fulfilled when we deliver the product to the physical address nominated by you for delivery of the order.
