2.1. Every order that you place on this website will be subject to acceptance in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

The final details of your order will be set out on the "Check Out" page prior to proceeding to the "Payments" pages.

After the authorization of your debit card or credit card, we will send you an email confirming receipt of your order detailing the products you have ordered together with an order number. This email is not an order confirmation or order acceptance from LAT56. We reserve the right to cancel any order and/or refuse access to the website.

It is your responsibility to inform us immediately if there are any errors in your order.

 

3. PRODUCT GUARANTEE

3.1. We make high quality, durable products that are guaranteed to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for the first five years of ownership. If you find that your product is defective due to a problem with our manufacture, at our sole discretion, we will either repair or replace it free of charge. We hope you’ll be a lifelong customer and so we’ll treat you that way.

We recognise our responsibility to the environment and a key part of this is the quality of the products we create and the longevity they deliver. Increased durability means that we as a company consume only what we need and are firmly focused on minimising the impact on the environment. LAT56 has taken more care in design and manufacture which frees you to concentrate on travelling from A to B.

3.2. Once you own a LAT56 product you become an elite status customer instantly. Not only do you get to enjoy using our innovative products which are designed to be the best they possibly can, you also get to experience personal, world-class, after-sales customer service and peace of mind that for five years after you purchase a LAT56 product from an authorized LAT56 store or retailer you will be covered by our Limited Lifetime Guarantee.

For the first five years that you own your LAT56 product, LAT56 will repair or replace any items that are defective in materials or workmanship, including any structural defects (such as defective handles or zippers). However, we will not cover damage resulting from wear and tear that is not the result of defects in materials or workmanship. We also will not cover damage caused by airlines or other transit damage. Damage claims in transit cases should be filed against the carrier. Other damages not covered are damage resulting from abuse, cosmetic damage (such as scratched leather, nylon, EVA or stained fabrics) and incidental or consequential damages, such as damage to or loss of the contents of a bag, loss of use, loss of time, or similar expenses.

If we determine that a replacement product is not available, we will provide you with a product of comparable value.

The LAT56 Limited Lifetime Guarantee extends to the original owner; it makes life simple and is part of the overall LAT56 experience.

3.3. What You Need To Do:

Get it to us:

Your only responsibility is to ship your product to us (postage paid by the customer). We will repair or replace it quickly and courier it back at no additional cost to you. In those cases where our warranty does not apply, we will promptly provide you with an estimate of any repair and return shipping costs that may be involved.

Keep your Proof of Purchase:

Please save your receipt as proof of purchase. This will be needed to demonstrate your warranty coverage. Additionally, this will serve as proof that your purchase was made at an authorised LAT56 retailer. The Limited Lifetime Guarantee only applies to products that were purchased from an authorised LAT56 store or retailer.

3.4. If you do have a problem, please get in touch by email: [email protected].

At LAT56 you will always be able to speak to someone at the heart of the company to get the service you deserve. Even if you want to speak to the designers of the actual product, we’ll sort it for you!

8.4 LAT_56 will not accept any order cancellation request if the goods have been used on a trip and are no longer in 100% resalable condition, and where the reason provided for the cancellation is product performance or that the product has negatively impacted your personal belongings packed inside our luggage.

Damage or change in the condition of your personal belongings packed into our luggage does not qualify as a reason for order cancellation or refund.

We do not accept returns when goods have been used on a trip, 'in the field'. Goods must only be assessed in an environment with conditions where they can be returned after assessment in a 100% resalable condition, just as the goods arrived to you. This environment, such as your home, must be in a condition where no wear or tear, or contamination can occur to the bag. There must be no sign of usage or the Order Cancellation will not be accepted. It is your responsibility to assess the goods before it is used 'in the field' on a trip and this assessment must be made within the order cancellation period set out in 8.1.

We are not held liable for the way you pack, the method of doing so, or what you choose to pack in our luggage. This is due to the extreme variables outwith our control, such as but not limited to; humidity, temperature, variables in personal clothing fabrics packed into our luggage (such as suits), other contents you have packed (or overpacked) inside the luggage which may have a negative impact on your other belongings (e.g. suits), your own packing method, external forces on our luggage when in transit, or the duration that items are packed inside our luggage.

Using goods on a trip 'in the field', with unlimited extreme variables outwith our control, and then attempting to cancel the order does not meet the terms of your right to Order Cancellation, whether within the 14 day period as described in 8.1 or after.

8.5. If you choose to exercise your right of cancellation, please email our customer services team at [email protected] for instructions on the returns procedure.

Once goods arrive at the return address provided they shall go through Quality Control assessment. Only once deemed a pass shall the refund be made. The refund may take up to 14 days upon receiving the goods.
