Our Online Store

Lou the Chichi offers a variety of products, including pet apparel, pet accessories, Lou the Chichi merchandise, and made-to-order products.

Some products are stocked and fulfilled directly by us, while others are produced and shipped by third-party print-on-demand or fulfillment partners.

Because fulfillment methods vary, processing times, shipping locations, return eligibility, and other conditions may differ between products. Please refer to the applicable product description and our Shipping & Delivery Policy and Return & Refund Policy before purchasing.

Eligibility to Use Our Website

By using this website, you confirm that you are legally permitted to enter into a purchase or other agreement in your jurisdiction.

If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the website only with the permission and involvement of a parent or legal guardian.

You may not use our website or products for any unlawful or unauthorized purpose.

Product Information

We do our best to provide accurate product descriptions, measurements, sizing information, photographs, colors, and other product details.

However, slight variations may occur. Colors may appear differently depending on your screen or device, and handmade, manufactured, embroidered, printed, or made-to-order items may have minor variations from one piece to another.

For pet apparel, we strongly recommend reviewing the product-specific size chart and measuring your pet before ordering. Sizing may vary between styles.

For print-on-demand products, minor variations that fall within normal manufacturing tolerances are not considered defects.

Nothing in this section limits any rights you may have under applicable consumer protection laws.

Prices & Currency

Product prices are displayed in the currency selected or shown on our website.

Prices may change at any time without notice. A price change will not affect an order that has already been accepted, except where otherwise permitted or required by law.

Shipping charges, applicable taxes, tariffs, duties, and other charges will be displayed or disclosed as applicable before you complete your purchase.

Orders

Submitting an order does not necessarily mean that the order has been accepted.

After you place an order, you will receive an order confirmation at the email address provided during checkout.

We reserve the right, where permitted by law, to refuse, limit, or cancel an order for reasons including suspected fraud, unauthorized activity, incorrect product information, inventory issues, or other legitimate circumstances.

If we cancel an order after payment has been collected, any amount owed to you will be refunded in accordance with applicable law.

Order Information

You are responsible for providing accurate and complete information when placing an order, including your:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Billing information
  • Shipping address
  • Apartment or unit number, where applicable
  • Postal or ZIP code

Please review your information carefully before submitting your order.

If you notice an error after ordering, contact us at info@shoplouscloset.com as soon as possible. We will do our best to make changes before fulfillment begins, but changes cannot always be guaranteed once an order has entered processing or has shipped.

Payment

We will work quickly to ship your order as soon as possible. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with further information. Delivery times vary depending on your location.

Shipping & Delivery

Processing and delivery times depend on the products purchased, fulfillment location, shipping destination, carrier, and selected shipping method.

Some orders may arrive in multiple packages, particularly when an order contains both products fulfilled directly by us and made-to-order or print-on-demand merchandise.

Estimated delivery dates are estimates unless expressly stated otherwise.

For complete information regarding processing times, tracking, international shipments, delivery delays, incorrect addresses, lost packages, and other shipping matters, please review our Shipping & Delivery Policy.

Nothing in these Terms or our Shipping & Delivery Policy limits any delivery rights or remedies available to consumers under applicable law.

Gift Cards & Store Credits

Gift cards and store credits may be used toward eligible purchases from our online store.

Unless otherwise required by law, gift cards and store credits:

  • Cannot be redeemed for cash;
  • Cannot be used to purchase another gift card where restricted;
  • Cannot be transferred for value or resold without authorization.

When store credit is issued as part of a U.S. exchange, the credit may cover the value specified in our Return & Refund Policy. Any new tariff amount applicable to the replacement order remains the customer’s responsibility unless otherwise stated.

Any additional terms shown when a gift card or store credit is issued also apply.

Promotions, Discount Codes & Gifts With Purchase

From time to time, we may offer discounts, promotional codes, free gifts, giveaways, or other special offers.

Unless otherwise stated:

  • Promotions cannot be combined;
  • Discounts have no cash value;
  • Promotions may be limited by product, order value, location, or time period;
  • Only one promotional offer may apply to an order;
  • Promotional offers may be modified or discontinued where permitted by law.

If a free gift requires a minimum purchase amount, the qualifying merchandise total must meet the stated threshold after discounts and before any excluded charges specified in the promotion.

Abuse, duplication, manipulation, or unauthorized use of promotional offers may result in the offer being declined or an order being cancelled where permitted by law.

Product Use & Pet Safety

Pet products should always be used appropriately and under reasonable supervision.

You are responsible for choosing products that are appropriate for your pet’s size, needs, and circumstances and for regularly inspecting accessories and apparel for signs of damage or wear.

Pet apparel and accessories are not intended to replace proper supervision, veterinary care, safety equipment, or professional advice.

Discontinue use of any product that becomes damaged or appears unsafe.

Nothing in this section limits any legal warranty or other right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Errors & Inaccuracies

Occasionally, information on our website may contain typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions relating to product descriptions, availability, pricing, promotions, shipping charges, or other information.

Where permitted by applicable law, we may correct errors and update information.

Nothing in this section permits us to disregard a price, representation, contractual obligation, or consumer right that must be honoured under applicable law.

Availability of the Website

We work to keep our website available and functioning properly, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access at all times.

The website may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, technical problems, updates, third-party service interruptions, or circumstances outside our reasonable control.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue website features from time to time.

Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the website and its content are provided on an “as available” basis.

However, nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any legal warranty, statutory right, consumer protection, or remedy that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

Where applicable consumer protection legislation provides greater rights than these Terms, those legal rights prevail.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lou the Chichi & Lou's Closet will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses resulting solely from the use or inability to use our website where such liability may legally be excluded.

This limitation does not apply where liability cannot legally be excluded or limited, including any rights or remedies available under applicable consumer protection legislation.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude liability in circumstances where doing so would be prohibited by law.

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold Lou the Chichi & Lou's Closet harmless from claims, losses, or expenses arising directly from your unlawful use of the website, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another person’s rights.

This provision does not apply to ordinary consumer claims relating to products purchased from us or otherwise restrict rights provided by applicable consumer protection laws.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to our business, products, website, fulfillment practices, or applicable requirements.

The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.

Changes will apply prospectively unless otherwise required or permitted by law and will not remove rights that have already arisen under an existing purchase.

Your continued use of the website after updated Terms become effective means that the updated Terms will apply to your future use of the website.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will apply only to the extent permitted by law.

The remaining provisions will continue to apply unless the law requires otherwise.

If we do not immediately exercise or enforce a right under these Terms, that does not necessarily mean that we have waived that right.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our applicable policies and the information provided to you in connection with your order, form the agreement governing your use of our website and purchases from our store.

If there is a conflict between these Terms and a mandatory law applicable to your purchase, the mandatory law will prevail.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in the Province of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without limiting any mandatory rights that may apply to consumers in their own jurisdiction.

Nothing in these Terms requires a consumer to waive a legal right regarding the jurisdiction or forum in which a dispute may be brought where such a waiver is prohibited by applicable law.
