In these Terms and Conditions, “We”, “Our” and “Us” are all references to Trouva.

3.2 How to contact us. You can contact Trouva by writing to: support@trouva.com

3.3 How We may contact You. If We have to contact You We may do so by email to the address You provided when You went through the checkout process on the Website or that is registered on Your Account from time to time.

‍4. How does Trouva work?

‍4.1 Ordering via the Website. We operate the Website as an electronic marketing platform, on which Listings may be posted by our selected Retailers for their Products. These Products are made available by those Retailers to You, and Trouva allows You to make Orders to pay for Products through the Website and either:
(a) click-and-collect the Product(s) from the relevant Retailer’s store; or
(b) have the Product(s) delivered to the address You specify.

4.2 Your Contract is with the Retailer. The Contract is between You and the relevant Retailer, not Trouva. You are buying the Products from the Retailer, not Trouva. However, We are authorised to act as the agent of Our Retailers (who act as principal) to conclude and enter into the Contract with You.

4.3 When is the Contract formed? The Contract is formed when the relevant Retailer confirms to Us that it has the relevant Products in stock and we send you an Order confirmation email to that effect. We will send You that Order confirmation email to the email address associated with Your Account or, if You check-out as a ‘guest’, to the email address You entered during the checkout process).

4.4 Incorporation of these Terms and Conditions. As noted above, in the context of any purchase of Products, Your Contract incorporates, and is governed and conditioned by, these Terms and Conditions.

4.5 Products may vary from their pictures. Trouva aims to use the Listings to give You the information You need to know the essential characteristics of the Products. Although We try to make sure they are as faithful as possible to the real thing, any images shown in the Listings are for illustrative purposes only – given the digital method of presentation it is possible that Your perception may not exactly match the relevant Product itself.

4.6 Promo Codes. Trouva may, at its discretion, give you a promo code that you can use to reduce the price of specified Products. Where you receive a promo code, it must be applied at checkout, and cannot be applied retrospectively. Any promo code will come with its own terms (e.g. minimum spend, applicable Retailers, applicable Products and time frame for use of the code), which will be made clear at the time it’s issued to you. If you’re given a unique promo code that is created specifically for your use, it cannot be shared or transferred to other customers, or posted in a public forum. Trouva reserves the right to cancel and/or suspend any promo codes that Trouva feels are being misused. Any promo codes applied against the applicable terms or these Terms and Conditions, will be removed from the Order.

4.7 Competitions. Trouva may, at its discretion, run competitions from time to time. Competitions are only open to those aged 18 years or over, and exclude Trouva and competition partner employees and their immediate family. You will be notified of other terms that relate to the competition including eligibility criteria, start and end time and date, the prize, competition rules, how the winner will be selected and notified, and how to claim the prize if you win. You will not be eligible to participate or win if you do not comply with those competition terms. Trouva’s decision regarding the winner is final. Trouva reserves the right to require participants to prove that they are eligible. If the winner is found to be ineligible, Trouva reserves the right to award the prize to another participant and to require the return of any prize already awarded. Winners may not substitute prizes in whole or in part for cash or any other item. Trouva reserves the right to terminate, amend or extend any competition (and substitute the prize to something of equal or greater value) in the event of exceptional circumstances outside its control which affect its ability to operate the competition. Trouva will not be responsible for any damage, loss or injury resulting from entry into the competition or the prize, except where its liability may not, as a matter of law, be limited.

4.8 Starting a call ("Enquiries"). Whilst you are browsing the Trouva Website, you may also have an option to speak to certain boutiques, content creators or brands (or representatives of them, such as employees ("Representatives")). By default, any call will be a video-to-audio call meaning that you will be able to see and hear the Representative but they will only be able to hear you. If you do not wish to make a call, you may instead use our online messaging services to contact any Retailer directly. If you choose to purchase an item during such calls (or indeed via any chat feature or any live event on Trouva’s platform), to protect both you and the boutique/brands, payments must be made via the Website and you should not share any payment details via Enquiries. All Enquiries are recorded. If you do not wish the call to be recorded then you must hang up and not use this service. If you have an Account, once your browsing session has ended, you may be able to retain access to your messages, view a recording of the Enquiries, and access any order information for purchases you have made Retailers. Please consult our Privacy Policy for full details.

Where Trouva adds such customs and/or import duties and taxes to the checkout page, Trouva shall be responsible for transmitting and reporting the applicable customs and/or import duties and taxes to the relevant authorities, not you, and you acknowledge and accept this.
