Our terms
1. Understanding these terms and conditions
1.1 Why you should read these terms and conditions. These terms tell you who we are, how we will provide Products to you, how you and we may change or end the contract, what to do if there is a problem and other important information. If there is something within these terms which you don’t understand, please contact us for further information.
1.2 Defined terms. When certain words and phrases are used in these Terms and Conditions, they have specific meanings (these are known as ‘defined terms’). These defined terms start with capital letters even if they are not at the beginning of a sentence.
1.3 Headings and other information. We have used headings to help you understand these Terms and Conditions and to easily locate information. These Terms and Conditions are only available in the English language. We will not file copies of the contracts between us and you relating to our supply of the Products.
1.4 Entire Agreement. These Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between us in relation to your orders for the Products. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, promise, representation, assurance or warranty made or given by or on behalf of us which is not set out in these Terms and Conditions and that you shall have no claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation or negligent misstatement based on any statement in these Terms and Conditions.
2. Your orders for Products
2.1 How we will accept your order request. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we send an email confirming our acceptance of your order to the email address you have provided to us, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.
2.2 If we cannot accept your order request. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you in writing and will not charge you for the Product. We may reject an order request for several reasons including but not limited to if the Product is unavailable, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the Product, or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.
2.3 Your order number. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.
2.4 Products and Product packaging may vary slightly from pictures. The images of the Products and Product packaging displayed on our Platforms are for illustrative purposes only. We make every effort to display the colour, shape and size of Products and Product packaging accurately but we cannot guarantee that this will be reflected on the device through which you are browsing display. As such, your Product or Product packaging may vary to that shown.
3. Your rights to make changes
If you wish to make a change prior to shipment of your order please contact us at questions@elvie.com. We will let you know if the change is possible. If the change is possible, the price of the Product, the timing of supply and other terms may also change. We will ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the contract.
4. Our rights to make changes
4.1 Minor changes to the Products. We may change the Products:
(a) to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, including but not limited to compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation and any other applicable privacy and data protection laws; and
(b) to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to improve the functionality of our Products. These changes may affect your use of the Product, which we will endeavour to tell you about in advance.
4.2 Significant changes to the Products and these terms. As stated in the description of the Products on our Platforms, we may make changes to the Product, but if we do so we will notify you and you may then contact us to end the contract before the changes take effect and receive a refund for any Products paid for but not received.
4.3 Product recall. Several of our products are registered as medical devices in certain territories. Elvie Trainer is registered in the EU as a MDD Class I product and in the USA as FDA Class II with a 510(k) medical device exemption. Elvie Pump and Elvie Stride are registered in the USA as FDA Class II devices. As such, we are under an obligation to maintain procedures for identifying and tracing each unit, lot or batch of these products and, where appropriate, components of the product. We are also under an obligation to establish and maintain procedures to control units of these products that do not conform to specified requirements and may recall non-conforming units at any time where required by law or in our discretion.
5. Providing the Products
5.1 Delivery costs. The costs of delivery will be displayed to you on our Platforms prior to you placing an order request for a Product through our Platforms.
5.2 When we will provide the Products. If we accept your order request, we will provide you with an estimated time frame within which the Products will be delivered to you. Unless we agree a different time frame with you in which to make delivery, we agree to provide the Products to you within 30 days after the day on which we send you notice of acceptance of your order.
5.3 We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the Products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any Products you have paid for but not received.
5.4 If you are not at home when the Product is delivered. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the Products cannot be posted through your letterbox, our delivery partner will follow the standard procedure it applies in the event that a Product cannot be delivered.
5.5 If you do not re-arrange delivery. If, despite our (or our delivery partner’s) reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract.
5.6 Your legal rights if we deliver Products late. You have legal rights if we deliver any Products late. If we miss the estimated delivery timeframe agreed for any Products then you may treat the contract as at an end straight away if any of the following apply:
(a) we have refused to deliver the Products to you
(b) delivery within the estimated delivery timeframe was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances), and we agreed to deliver the Product to you within that estimated delivery timeframe; or
(c) you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the estimated delivery timeframe as essential and we agreed to deliver the Product to you within that estimated delivery timeframe.
If you do choose to end the contract for late delivery under paragraph 5.6 (a) – (c) you can do so in relation to Products that have or have not been delivered to you. If Products have been delivered to you, you must ensure that these Products are returned to us. In the event that paragraph 5.6 (a) – (c) applies, you may choose to rearrange delivery instead of ending the contract. To rearrange delivery please contact us via email at questions@elvie.com.
5.7 When you become responsible for Products. A Product which is a good will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the Product to the address provided to us. You will own a Product which is a good once we have received payment for that Product in full.
5.8 What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can accept your order and provide the Products to you, for example, your name, your email address, telephone number, credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card, billing address and delivery address. Further information relating to how we collect, manage, store and process personal data can be found in our privacy policy. If you do not provide this information to us at the time of placing an order, or within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may end the contract. We will not be responsible for supplying Products late if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
5.9 Reasons we may delay Products being provided to you. We may have to delay supplying a Product to you if:
(a) you fail to make payment to us for the Product;
(b) if we suspect any order or transaction to be fraudulent or suspicious;
(c) we choose to deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes to the Products; and
(d) we choose to update the Product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements.
We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be delaying supply of the Product, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we have to delay supplying you with the Product for longer than 30 days you may contact us to end the contract for a Product if we suspend it, and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the Product.

10. Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you

10.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes, but may not be limited to, liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

11.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
