Eligibility to purchase

To make purchases on the Site, you need to provide your personal information. Specifically, we require your actual name, phone number, email address, and other information as prompted. Additionally, you’ll need to provide payment details that you confirm to be valid and accurate, and you acknowledge that you are the individual linked to the provided billing information.

The Site is accessible only to individuals and others who satisfy SHIVALOKA’s eligibility conditions, possess a valid credit/debit card issued by a bank recognized by SHIVALOKA, whose applications are approved by SHIVALOKA, and who have given SHIVALOKA permission to process a transaction or transactions on their credit/debit card for the total purchase price of the goods they buy. The products purchased by the customer are intended for personal use or as gifts and should not be resold, used for commercial purposes, or any other commercial gain. SHIVALOKA reserves the right to limit the quantity of an item shipped to a single customer or address.

When you propose to buy merchandise, you are explicitly authorizing us to conduct credit checks. As SHIVALOKA deems necessary and within the bounds of applicable laws, we may exchange information (including any updated information) about you with third parties. This could include your credit/debit card number, for purposes such as verifying your identity, validating your credit/debit card, obtaining an initial credit/debit card authorization, and authorizing individual purchase transactions.

Moreover, you consent to the use of your personal information for appropriate anti-fraud checks. The personal information you provide could be shared with a credit reference or fraud prevention agency, which may maintain a record of that information.

Please view our Privacy Policy for additional details on how we utilize your data.

Orders

To place an order with SHIVALOKA, you’ll need to add your desired items to your shopping bag, provide your billing and shipping information, pick your preferred delivery method, and select a payment option. Please note that items in your shopping bag aren’t reserved and can be bought by other shoppers.

At SHIVALOKA, we offer items that are in stock and ready to be dispatched from our production house in Ubud, Bali. Sometimes, an item will need to be produced upon order and therefore, it can take a few additional days before we dispatch your order. In cases that your order will exceed 7-10 days before it can be shipped, we will notify you by email. 

If you’ve signed up for email notifications regarding the availability of a specific product, we’ll try to inform you within 48 hours of the product becoming available. However, please understand that high-demand items may sell out during this time.

For your records, SHIVALOKA will store transaction details for at least one year.

Pricing Policy

The prices displayed on the Site are in US Dollars and do not include Value Added Tax (VAT). However, you can view prices in other currencies such as AUD, EUR, GBP, CAD, and IRD using the currency selection tool located at the top right corner of the Site.

Please note that prices may fluctuate from time to time due to changes in currency exchange rates, gold and silver rates, markdowns, and other commercial considerations. The price you pay will be the current price at the time your order is confirmed.

For customers purchasing from countries served as DDP, relevant import duty and taxes will apply. These costs are not included in the final purchase price. If your credit or debit card is not denominated in USD, the final price will be determined by the exchange rate used by your card issuer on the day the transaction is processed.

Sale price adjustment Policy

SHIVALOKA is pleased to provide a Sale Price Adjustment for items bought up to 3 days before the start of a sale or promotion of a specific item. However, it’s important to note that the specific style and size of the item must be available for purchase when you make your request for us to approve any adjustment in the sale price. Any approved Sale Price Adjustments will be credited to your SHIVALOKA account as store credit, which will remain valid for 12 months.

Please note that we cannot provide price adjustments on items originally purchased during a sale or on special promotional items that have been temporarily discounted. If an item is bought at a reduced sale price, we won’t offer a price adjustment if the item’s price is further reduced.

Acceptance of your order

After making your selection and placing your order, an email will be sent to you acknowledging the receipt of your order. This email is merely a confirmation of the order received and does not constitute acceptance of your order.

On your order confirmation page, you’ll find a summary of each product, its price (excluding any applicable fees and taxes), and the shipping cost. Your order represents a binding offer to purchase the products.

Please review the order details and correct any errors before proceeding with the purchase. Unless you cancel your order, the contract between you and SHIVALOKA will be completed when we send you an email confirming the dispatch of your goods. The contract will be finalized in English. Neither our third-party payment processor nor our designated courier has the authority to accept an order on behalf of SHIVALOKA.

Orders cannot be canceled once they are received by the courier and in transit. 

We reserve the right to reject your order under certain circumstances, such as if we can’t obtain payment authorization, if shipping restrictions apply to an item, if the item is out of stock or cannot be produced by us, or if you do not meet the eligibility criteria outlined in the Terms of Service.

We may also decline to process and thus accept a transaction for any reason, or refuse service to anyone at any time, particularly if the transaction or service doesn’t align with our business policy, or in cases of suspected or reported fraudulent or illegal activity. We will not be liable for refusing to process a transaction, or for reversing or suspending any transaction after processing has begun. We won’t be liable to you or any third party if we choose to withdraw any merchandise from the Site, whether or not that merchandise has been sold, or for removing, screening, or editing any materials or content on the Site. We reserve the right to reject orders from users who are acting for commercial or professional purposes.

While we strive to ensure accuracy in the details on our Site, there may be instances when errors in product pricing occur. If we discover an obvious error in the pricing of a product in your order, we will notify you as soon as possible. We are under no obligation to accept or fulfill an order for a product advertised at an incorrect price, particularly if the error was noticeable, and we reserve the right to cancel such an order that has been accepted or is in transit. If you order a product that’s clearly priced incorrectly for whatever reason, we will email you to inform you that we haven’t accepted your order and/or that the relevant part of your order has been canceled. If you have already paid for the goods, we will refund the full amount as soon as we can.

Payment

SHIVALOKA accepts payments through Visa, MasterCard, and American Express via Stripe. We also accept PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. After completing the transaction, you will be redirected back to www.shivaloka.co. The payment will be debited from your account upon placing the order by SHIVALOKA. You confirm that the credit card being used is either yours or that you have explicit authorization from the card’s owner to use it. All credit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorization by the card issuer. In case the issuer of your card refuses to authorize payment to SHIVALOKA, we will not be held responsible for any delay or non-delivery.

We prioritize making our Site safe and secure. All credit card transactions on this site are processed using Stripe, a secure online payment gateway that encrypts your card details within a secure host environment. To further enhance the safety of your shopping experience, SHIVALOKA employs Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

Moreover, we take reasonable measures, as far as they are within our control, to ensure the security of your order and payment details. However, except in cases of negligence on our part, we cannot be held accountable for any loss you may incur if a third party gains unauthorized access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the Site.

Gift Cards

Gift Cards are no longer available to purchase. 

Promotion Codes

Promotion codes are strictly non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash. Additionally, these codes cannot be combined with any other promotional codes or offers. It’s important to note that the codes must be used by the published expiry date, if one is provided.

Shipment Value Protection and delivery

SHIVALOKA is unable to deliver to PO Box addresses via our courier services. 

Shipments are dispatched from our own production house in Ubud, Bali, Monday through Friday, excluding public Indonesian holidays by 3pm.

We offer shipment value protection for each purchase shipped via DHL from the time it’s in transit until it’s delivered to your specified address, up to a value of USD$1000. If your order exceeds this amount, you have the option to purchase additional insurance at 5% of the commercial value through the courier, which we can help facilitate. Please reach out to our customer care team to request full value insurance for your parcel.

A signature is required upon delivery, at which point the responsibility for your purchased goods transfers to you. If you’ve designated a recipient other than yourself for delivery (for example, as a gift), you acknowledge that their signature, or a signature at that delivery address, signals successful delivery and fulfillment by SHIVALOKA, and the transfer of responsibility occurs in the same manner. Once delivered to the address you provided us, the goods are your responsibility.

Please note, we do not offer shipment value protection for orders shipped with EMS postal service or domestic couriers such as JNE. If no signature is obtained, you agree to our terms and conditions, confirming that SHIVALOKA may leave your package(s) outside the premises at the shipping address provided by you without obtaining a signature for proof of delivery. Be aware that if no signature is collected, you agree to our terms and conditions and assume full responsibility for any loss or damage that may occur. In some cases, our courier may refuse to deliver your order if they deem the shipping address unsafe.

We strive to dispatch all orders within 48-72 hours, excluding weekends and public holidays, except during sale periods when due to high volumes, dispatch can take up to 5-9 workdays. Delivery times listed on the Site are estimates and should be used as a guide only, starting from the date of dispatch. We will deliver the goods to you within 30 days of the day we accept your order. SHIVALOKA cannot be held responsible for any delays caused by customs clearance processes at the destination.

In the event of a delivery delay beyond our control, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you and will take steps to minimize the effect of the delay. As long as we do this, we won’t be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of significant delay you may contact us to cancel your order and we will refund any goods you have paid for but not received.
