By visiting our website, creating an account, or completing a purchase, you confirm that:

  • You are at least 18 years of age, or have the consent of a legal guardian
  • You have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement
  • You have read, understood, and agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy

03

Products & Orders

Product Descriptions

We make every effort to accurately display our products, including photographs, colours, dimensions, and descriptions. However, as our lamps are handcrafted, slight variations in colour, pattern, and size are inherent to the artisan process and are not considered defects.

Actual colours may vary slightly from those shown on screen due to differences in monitor calibration and lighting conditions.

Order Acceptance

Placing an order constitutes an offer to purchase. Your order is not confirmed until you receive an order confirmation email from us. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order at our discretion, including in cases of:

  • Pricing errors on our website
  • Stock unavailability after order placement
  • Suspected fraud or unauthorised use of payment methods
  • Orders that violate these Terms

If we cancel your order, you will receive a full refund to your original payment method within 5–10 business days.

Availability

All products are subject to availability. We do not guarantee that any item will remain in stock. In the event an ordered item becomes unavailable after purchase, we will notify you promptly and offer a full refund or suitable alternative.

04

Pricing & Payment

All prices are displayed in USD unless otherwise stated. We reserve the right to change prices at any time without prior notice; however, the price at the time of your confirmed order will apply.

  • Taxes — applicable sales taxes or VAT may be added at checkout depending on your delivery country
  • Customs & Import Duties — international orders may be subject to customs duties, import taxes, or brokerage fees charged by your country. These are the buyer's responsibility and are not included in our prices
  • Payment Methods — we accept major credit/debit cards, PayPal, and other payment methods displayed at checkout. All transactions are processed securely via PCI-DSS compliant payment gateways
  • Currency — charges are processed in USD. Your bank or card provider may apply conversion fees for non-USD transactions

Luminaren is not responsible for any additional fees charged by your country's customs authority or your financial institution. Please check your country's import regulations before placing an order.

06

Returns & Refunds

Return Window

We accept returns within 30 days of delivery for items that are unused, in original condition, and in original packaging. To initiate a return, contact us at support@luminaren.com with your order number and reason for return.

Non-Returnable Items

  • Custom or personalised orders made to your specifications
  • Items damaged due to misuse, improper installation, or accident
  • Items returned without prior authorisation
  • Items returned after the 30-day window

Damaged or Defective Items

If your item arrives damaged or defective, please contact us within 7 days of delivery with photos of the damage. We will arrange a replacement or full refund at no additional cost to you.

Refund Processing

Approved refunds are processed to your original payment method within 5–10 business days of us receiving and inspecting the returned item. Original shipping costs are non-refundable unless the return is due to our error or a defective product.

Return Shipping

Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in cases where the item is defective or we made an error in fulfilling your order. We recommend using a trackable shipping service for returns, as we cannot guarantee receipt of untracked packages.

09

Dispute Resolution

We are committed to resolving disputes amicably. If you have a complaint or concern, please contact us first at support@luminaren.com. We aim to respond within 5 business days and resolve all disputes within 30 days where possible.

If a resolution cannot be reached through direct communication, you may have the right to pursue alternative dispute resolution mechanisms available in your jurisdiction, including:

  • EU / UK customers — the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform (ec.europa.eu/odr) or your local Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) provider
  • US customers — binding arbitration or small claims court, as applicable
  • Other regions — your local consumer protection authority or ombudsman service

10

Governing Law

These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable commercial law. Nothing in these Terms limits your statutory rights as a consumer under the laws of your country of residence.

For EU and UK customers, your local consumer protection laws — including the EU Consumer Rights Directive and UK Consumer Rights Act — apply and take precedence where they provide greater protections than these Terms.
