(a) LUVOCRACY SERVICES (I.E. LUVOCRACY SHOPPING SERVICE). Our services include processing your order, purchasing products on your behalf, ensuring your products are shipped to you or the intended recipient, and returning products on your behalf (see “Returns,” below, for details). Luvocracy enables users to add products available for sale from anywhere on the Internet.

However, where the actual shipping charges exceed $5.99, we may, at our discretion, notify you of the higher shipping charge to receive your approval before proceeding with the transaction.

Once we confirm that the products you requested are available, we guarantee that your package will be delivered the same day, or the next day if your order is placed after 6pm in your designated time zone. If your order doesn’t arrive the next day, we will refund you the service fee. If there is a mistake with your order, we will take care of the return shipping and send you a replacement product (if the retailer’s inventory allows) with no additional charge for shipping either way.
