Why We Have The Terms And Conditions
We have terms and conditions (“T&Cs”) for a few different reasons:
- they contain the rules which apply to your use of the Site, including material you might upload to the blog and in reviews;
- they set out all the rules which apply to your purchase of a Product; and
- they contain information which we need to tell you, for example your rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations.
If you use the Site, purchase a Product or upload any material onto the Site, you are confirming to us that you agree to the then current T&Cs. They are legally binding on us both.
So, please read them and click here to print or save them if you like. Our T&Cs were last updated on 6 June 2014. Contact us if you have any questions about them.
The T&Cs go hand in hand with some other documents which contain other important information:
- our Privacy Policy, where we tell you what information we collect about you and how we use and disclose it (“Privacy Policy”);
- our Delivery Policy, where we tell you about delivery options for a Product and any restrictions on where we can deliver or extra charges (“Delivery Policy”); and
- our Returns Policy, where we tell you how to return a Product in certain circumstances including because you have changed your mind under the Consumer Contracts Regulations (“Returns Policy”).
Ordering A Product From Us: How The Contract Works
When we sell a Product to you, just like all purchases, there’s a contract in place for that sale. This section of our T&Cs explains how that works.
Your order via the Site for a Product is an offer to buy that Product from us. When we get your order, we will send you an order confirmation email listing each Product you have requested to buy and an estimated delivery date.
This order confirmation email is acceptance of your offer by us. At that point a contract will be made between us for you to buy, and for us to sell, the Product that you have requested to buy.
You’ll know when we have despatched a Product, because we will send you an email letting you know.
Price And Payment
The price of any Products will be as quoted on our Site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. These prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due. See our Delivery Policy for more information on this.
Our Site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our Site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our despatch process so that, where a Product’s correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when despatching the Product to you. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our Site, we may either contact you and ask you if you would like to proceed with the order at the correct price, or we may contact you to tell you that we have cancelled your order (and you will then need to place a new order if you still wish to buy the Product).
We accept payment via the payment methods shown here.
By placing an order on the Site, you confirm that the payment details provided by you are valid and that when your order is accepted and processed by us, payment will be made in full.
Availability And Delivery Of Products
Delivery dates are estimated and are not guaranteed. Subject to stock availability, we aim to despatch a Product ordered before 7.30pm on the same working day.
We will always try to fulfil orders, but our only responsibility to you where a Product is no longer available, or if we are unable to supply a particular Product for whatever reason, is to make sure we do not charge you for the Product.
Our standard UK delivery service is free. If you select an express delivery method there will be a delivery charge.
Next day delivery available on orders placed before 10pm. Please note this is on UK orders being fulfilled by our UK Distribution centre only. Any UK orders being dispatched from our European distribution centre will take 2 days to be delivered.
For delivery to the United States of America, you will be liable to pay for any customs and duty charges for orders over $800. Please note, the value of $800 is the total order value before promotions or discounts have been applied.
There may also be some places we cannot deliver to. If you would like to know more about delivery options, prices and restrictions, see our Delivery Policy.
I’ve Changed My Mind About My Order – I’d Like To Return A Product For A Refund
Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations you have until 14 working days after you receive certain products to tell a retailer that you’ve changed your mind and would like to send it back. In fact, we don’t think that’s long enough, so we’re giving you 28 days after you receive a Product.
The Consumer Contracts Regulations only apply to certain categories of products. What this means is that you cannot change your mind and send any of the following Products back:
- Products that have been personalised for you, including items that have been tailored or altered by you
- Products that, by their nature, cannot be sent back (e.g. swimwear and underwear)
If you change your mind, you must return the Product to us. Until you have decided whether to send a Product back to us, remember that the Consumer Contracts Regulations put a duty on you to take good care of them.
This doesn’t mean you can’t try the Product on or inspect it to see if it’s right for you. All we ask is that you treat our Products with the same care as you would in our stores. So please try to keep the tags on, don’t mess with any hygiene seals or stickers and retain the original packaging as neatly as you can.
You will not be responsible for the cost of sending the Product back to us if you change your mind as long as you use our recommended delivery service, details of which are given in our Returns Policy. If we do not receive the Product back we may arrange for collection of the Product from you at your cost. If you do not send the Product back, or have not looked after the Product and we receive it back damaged, we could make a claim against you for the loss/damage.
Full details on returns can be found in our Returns Policy.
To let us know you have changed your mind and wish to cancel your order, please contact our Customer Service team. Once you have contacted us, please follow the instructions in our Returns Policy on how to return the Product to us.
We will issue you with a refund within 14 days of the earlier of receipt of proof of posting of the Products or the date that we receive the Products, including the cost of delivering the Products to you.
We issue refunds via the payment method you used to place the order. If you would like to exchange your Product(s) rather than be issued with a refund, please see the section below.
I Like The Product I’ve Ordered – But I’d Like A Different Size/Colour
If you would like to exchange your Product for a different size or colour, please let us know within 28 days of the date of receipt of the Product. Please follow the section above on cancelling your order and, at the time you cancel your order, just tell us that you’d like an exchange instead of receiving a refund.
If the size/colour you have requested in exchange is unavailable we’ll let you know and issue you with a refund instead.
Problems With Your Order
It is important that each Product’s use and care instructions are followed properly.
For garments, it is important that washing instructions are followed exactly as stated on the label. Each garment is wash-tested thoroughly and quality-checked on each production batch prior to leaving the manufacturer. For accessories, it is important that manufacturers’ instructions about any restrictions on use are followed.
It is your responsibility to take reasonable care of the Product you have bought. We are not responsible to you to the extent that the problem with your Product is caused by your incorrect use or care.
But we also understand that sometimes things don’t go according to plan. If there is a problem with your Product, just get in touch as described below and we’ll try and help you.
