Terms of Use

This Terms of Use Agreement (the “ToU”) is made between JLV Creative Design Group LLC doing business as JLV Creative (“JLV Creative,” “we,” “us,” or ”our”) and you, the individual choosing to use our Online Services as defined below (“you,” or the “user”).

Our Privacy Policy is subject to this ToU. There are terms in the Privacy Policy that materially affect how your personal information is stored, accessed, and processed. As such, you should read our Privacy Policy in addition to this ToU.

Online Services this ToU Covers
JLV Creative is an interior design firm that offers interior design and staging services, and an online shop (the “JLV Shoppe”) whereby you can purchase interior items and furnishings from our showroom. This ToU applies to our online services, including our website www.jlvcreative.com, the JLV Shoppe (www.shoppe.jlvcreative.com), social media pages, and any future online services we develop (collectively the “Online Services”). Please note that our interior design and staging services are controlled by separate service agreements provided to you upon engaging us for such services.

Services This ToU Doesn’t Cover
We love supporting our partners, and to show our appreciation, we may link to their websites and services. When you click on one of these links, you are leaving JLV Creative, and this ToU no longer applies. The way our partners or other third parties do business is out of our hands, and we assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party website or service. Please note that when you are using any other third-party platform to interact with our Online Services such as ShopPay, Google, Instagram, or Facebook, you agree to their services policies, and this ToU is in addition not in place of such agreements.

Acceptance of ToU
We know these ToU’s can be tedious to get through. However, by accessing our Online Services, it is understood that you agree to comply and be legally bound by the terms set out in this ToU, which is why you really should stick it out and read the whole thing.

Changes to Terms
From time to time, we may need to make changes to this ToU and may do so at any time. The date at the top of this ToU represents when this ToU was last revised. It is important to check this ToU from time to time to ensure that you are all caught up to date. By continuing to access or use our Online Services after a change has occurred, you agree to be bound by our updated ToU.

Conditions Before You Access Our Online Services
Our Online Services are not targeted or intended to be used by people under the age of 18, and you are not permitted to make purchases from the JLV Shoppe unless you are over the age of 18. All children between the ages of 13 and 17 must have permission from their parent or guardian before accessing our Online Services. If you live outside of the United States, your country may apply stricter age limits. In some cases, even if you are older than 13, you may not be legally allowed to access our Online Services regardless of having parental permission. You must be authorized to use our Online Services and enter into this ToU if you are acting on behalf of a company.

User Accounts
We don’t personally require you to have a user account to browse our Online Services, including our JLV Shoppe offerings. However, if you wish to purchase interior items through our JLV Shoppe, you will either need to create an account to make the purchase or use our express checkout service operated by third parties, including ShopPay and Google Pay (available only if you have active accounts with such services). Further, in order to communicate via social media or interact with any of our other Online Services hosted by another third party, you may be required to provide personal information and, in some cases, create an account. Any personal information that we receive will be treated in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Suspension and Termination of Your Account
o Involuntary Suspension or Termination of Your Account
We will make best efforts to notify you if we have a reason to believe that you have violated this ToU and may issue you a written warning outlining the behavior that we believe is in violation. However, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and prevent access to our Online Services and the JLV Shoppe at any time.

o Voluntary Termination of Your Account
You are free to delete your account at any time voluntarily. Your account may be terminated by requesting via email to purchasing@jlvcreative.com for us to terminate your account manually. Deleting your account will mean that you may no longer be able to easily log in to make purchases via the JLV Shoppe or be able to view your order history online. Information that you have previously provided to us will not be deleted along with your account unless you specifically ask for such information to be deleted. We will be sad to see you leave!

JLV Shoppe Pricing & Billing
You can find the cost of our items in the JLV Shoppe clearly marked. There may be times when we need to make changes to our pricing; as such advertised prices are not guaranteed until a purchase has been made and you have received a confirmation email of such purchase. You can make your purchases using the third-party payments systems that we accept (ShopPay, Google Pay, etc.) or directly enter your credit card details. We only use PCI compliant vendors to process credit cards; this means we never personally see or store your credit card information unless we need to manually enter it due to technical issues, which we only do with your express permission. Discounts and coupons are only valid for the specific time period stated at the time of their issuance, cannot be combined with any other offer, and Page 3 of 9 are limited to one per person. Please note that all taxes and shipping costs are calculated after checkout.

JLV Shoppe Trade Program
We currently offer all fellow interior designers a 10% discount on all goods purchased from the JLV Shoppe. For recognition into our trade program, you are required to apply via email to purchasing@jlvcreative.com by providing the following:
o Your website address;
o A copy of your interior design business or retail license;
o A copy of your design related degree, proof of membership in a design organization or business bio; and
o Your contact information (name, email address, business address, and phone number).
We reserve the right to deny any application for access to our trade program at our full discretion. If you are accepted into our trade program, you will be issued a unique promotion code that can be used when you are checking out of the JLV Shoppe. You are not permitted to share your promotion code with any third parties, and trade program discounts cannot be combined with any other offer. We reserve the right to cancel our trade program at any time without notice, and we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the program at any time without notice.

JLV Shoppe Availability
While we always try to ensure that we have availability of interior items at the time of your purchase, unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that a particular product will always be in stock even if it appears on the JLV Shoppe. If, after purchase, it comes to our attention that we are out of stock of an item you have purchased, we will reach out and arrange either a refund or credit towards another item.

JLV Shoppe Returns & Exchanges
All change of mind returns and/or exchange requests must be submitted via email to purchasing@jlvcreative.com along with proof of purchase. You will be responsible for any fees associated with change of mind returns and exchanges, including return shipping costs which you will be required to coordinate, and a 25% restocking fee which will be deducted from any refund issued. If you receive an item from the JLV Shoppe that is damaged or faulty, you must report the damage or fault via email to purchasing@jlvcreative.com within 7 days of delivery of the item, and we will make all reasonable efforts to replace the item free of charge or issue a refund. All products returned to us for any refund or exchange must be in the same condition you received them and with all tags (if any) attached.

JLV Shoppe Shipping Conditions
JLV only ships within the United States. If free shipping is available for your area, this will be via residential curbside delivery. If white glove delivery is needed, a quote can be requested by emailing purchasing@jlvcreative.com after an order is placed. All delivery timelines are communicated after an order is placed and are estimates only. All deliveries are Page 4 of 9 conducted by third parties, and we have no control over delivery delays. Any issues concerning delivery should be communicated via email to purchasing@jlvcreative.com.

International Users
JLV Creative’s Online Services are controlled, operated, and administered from our offices within the United States of America and are not intended to be subject to the laws or jurisdiction of any country outside of the United States of America. WE DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT OUR ONLINE SERVICES ARE APPROPRIATE, LEGAL, OR AVAILABLE FOR USE IN ANY PARTICULAR JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Those who choose to access JLV Creative’s Online Services outside of the United States of America do so on their own initiative and assume all risks associated with such access, including but not limited to any compliance with their particular jurisdictions’ laws and regulations and any United States export controls. We reserve the right to limit our Online Services, in whole or in part, to any geographic location or jurisdiction we choose.

Dispute Resolution
THIS SECTION OF OUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND YOUR RIGHT TO BE PART OF A CLASS ACTION. PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THIS SECTION BEFORE USING AND ACCESSING OUR ONLINE SERVICES. THIS SECTION WILL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THIS TOU AND TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF ANY ONLINE SERVICES PROVIDED BY JLV CREATIVE.
● Letting Us Know About Complaints At JLV Creative, we hope that we can work out any complaints or differences that we may have with you respectfully and calmly. If you have any concerns about JLV Creative's Online Services, please reach out to JLV Creative to let us know. If we cannot work out our differences together, then the following mandatory binding arbitration will apply to resolve the dispute.
● Mandatory Binding Arbitration If any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to Online Services provided under this ToU cannot be amicably resolved, such controversy or claim will be determined by binding arbitration rather than in a court of law. Except that mandatory binding arbitration will not apply with respect to any claims relating to infringement or misuse of intellectual property or any legal dispute that falls into the jurisdiction of a small claim court and would be more efficiently and cost-effectively resolved in a small claims court. The binding arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) and administered by the AAA in Charleston County, South Carolina. Arbitration must be commenced by filing a demand for arbitration with the AAA within one (1) year after the claim occurs or within one (1) year of the party asserting the claim becoming reasonably aware of the act or omission giving rise to the claim. If applicable law prohibits a one-year statute of limitations for asserting claims, claims must be asserted within the shortest period of time permitted by the applicable law. Except for attorney fees, all other costs associated with the arbitration will be shared equally between the parties, except where the AAA Rules provide otherwise.
● Prevailing Party If an arbitrator or court of law determines a claim against JLV Creative to be frivolous or an opinion is found in our favor by the arbitrators or court, you agree to reimburse JLV Creative for all fees associated with the arbitration and/or court case, including attorneys’ fees and arbitration/court costs.
● Class Action Waiver You agree to waive any right to participate in a class or representative action or proceeding and warrant that any claims brought against JLV Creative will be initiated only in your individual capacity. Any relief awarded by an arbitrator or court of law will not affect other users of JLV Creative’s Online Services.

Assignment
You are not entitled to assign this ToU, in whole or in part, to another person, without the prior written consent of JLV Creative. JLV Creative reserves the right to assign this ToU, in whole or in part, to any third party at any time without notice, including but not limited to any individual or entity acquiring all or substantially all of the JLV Creative business or assets.

Survival of Terms Beyond Termination
All provisions in this ToU that specifically state or logically ought to survive the termination of this ToU, or the termination of a user’s account, will survive such termination, including but not limited to payment obligations, intellectual property rights, warranties, indemnities, and limitation on liability clauses.

Waiver and Severability
No waiver by JLV Creative of any term or condition in this ToU will be deemed or construed to be a waiver of such term or condition in the future, or of any preceding or subsequent breach of the same or any other term or condition of this ToU or any other agreement. If any term or condition in this ToU is declared to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, for any reason, the remainder of the provisions will remain in effect and will be enforceable to the fullest extent possible.

Applicable Law and Jurisdiction
Except where otherwise required by mandatory law, this ToU, as well as our Privacy Policy, is to be governed by and interpreted, constructed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state of South Carolina without regard to conflict of law provisions. All disputes are to be resolved in the jurisdiction of Charleston County, South Carolina.

Entire Agreement
This ToU and our Privacy Policy represent the entire and exclusive agreement between JLV Creative and users of our Online Services. All previous written and oral agreements and communications related to the subject matter of this ToU and Privacy Policy are superseded. If any interior design service agreement or staging agreement is provided or has been provided in addition to this ToU and Privacy Policy, such agreements are intended to be in addition and not in lieu of this ToU. To the extent that there are any provisions in such service agreements that conflict with the terms of this ToU, the terms of the service agreement will prevail.
