We reserve the right to change these terms and conditions from time to time by changing them on the Site, although no such change will affect any order you have already placed. These terms and conditions were last updated on 26 May 2017.

Ordering and availability

2.1

Products may be ordered by clicking on the items you wish to purchase and then following the prompts that will appear on-screen. You may check and correct any input errors in your order up until the point at which you submit your order by clicking the "Complete Payment" button on the checkout page.

2.2

After placing an order, you will receive an email acknowledging that your order has been received and giving you an order reference number. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to buy Product(s). All orders are subject to acceptance by us. We are not obliged to accept your order and may, at our discretion, decline to accept any order. You do, however, acknowledge that by clicking on the "Complete Payment" button, you enter into an obligation to pay for the Product(s) in the event that your order is accepted. Once your order is accepted, you will be sent an email that confirms that the Products have been despatched (Despatch Confirmation). The Contract between you us in relation to the Products ordered will only be formed when the Despatch Confirmation is sent. After entering into the Contract, we will be under a legal duty to supply you with goods that are in conformity with the Contract.

2.3

The Contract will relate only to those Products whose despatch has been confirmed in the Despatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the despatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Despatch Confirmation.

2.4

In the event that you provide us with any specification, design or other material ("Customer Material") in relation to a proposed bespoke order (i.e. an order for Products which are not available from stock but which, by special arrangement, we may (in our discretion) agree to supply following a specific request from you) ("Bespoke Order"), you are responsible for such Customer Material as submitted by you. You must not submit any Customer Material that:

  • infringes on the intellectual property rights or other rights of any third party, or is unlawful, threatening, abusive, libellous, pornographic, obscene, vulgar, indecent or offensive;
  • contains or distributes any viruses and/or other code that has contaminating or destructive elements; or
  • impersonates, or misrepresents an affiliation with, any person or entity.

2.5

By submitting any Customer Material, you confirm you have the right to do so and grant to us and our affiliates a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free and fully sub-licensable right and licence to use, reproduce, modify and adapt such Customer Material (in whole or part) and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form.

Delivery or collection

3.1

Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Despatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 30 days after the date of the Despatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

3.2

Your order will be delivered to the United Kingdom delivery address you specify when placing your order, unless you opt (where available) to collect it from one of the collection points offered by our courier from time to time, where the courier offers such a collection service. A current list of the available collection points can be found on the Site. If you opt for this collection service, your entire order will be delivered to your chosen collection point and will be available for collection by you from the date notified to you by our courier. When collecting your order, you should take with you the Despatch Confirmation, along with some form of identification (such as a credit card or driving licence).

3.3

You are responsible for making sure your delivery address is correct. If the delivery address is a business address, please ensure the business name is specified in the first address line. If your address is geographically remote, for example certain outlying islands or other isolated locations, it may not be possible to deliver there. If that is the case, you will be notified before your order is accepted. Orders cannot be delivered to PO Box or similar addresses.

3.4

Products comprised within the same order cannot be delivered to different addresses.

3.5

Orders are delivered by courier, using your chosen delivery method and service where prompted on the Site. Courier deliveries take place on Monday to Saturday, excluding bank and public holidays, usually within the hours of 8am and 5pm. It is not possible to specify a precise time at which a delivery will take place. Please note that the courier may require a delivery to be signed for.

Risk and title

4.1

Products ordered will be at your risk from the time of delivery or collection (as the case may be). Ownership of the Products ordered will also pass to you on delivery or collection (as the case may be), provided full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including any delivery charges, has been received.

Price and payment

5.1

The price of Products is as quoted on the Site from time to time.

5.2

Prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be added (at the cost shown) to the total amount due, once you have selected your chosen delivery method and service where prompted on the Site.

5.3

Prices and delivery costs are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which a Despatch Confirmation has already been sent.

5.4

The Site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite best efforts, some of the Products listed on the Site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of the despatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than the stated price, you will be charged the lower amount. If a Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on the Site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before the Product is despatched, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

5.5

Payment for all orders must be made by credit or debit card on the checkout page. Most major credit and debit cards are accepted. Your credit or debit card will not be charged until your order is despatched.

5.6

You should be aware that online payment transactions are subject to validation checks by your card issuer and we are not responsible if your card issuer declines to authorise payment for any reason. Please note, it is possible that your card issuer may charge you an online handling fee or processing fee. We are not responsible for this.

Consumer rights

6.1

Except in relation to certain Products set out below, you may cancel a Contract at any time before your order is delivered and up to 28 days afterwards, beginning on the day after your order (in its entirety) is delivered to you or, if you opt (where available) to collect it from one of the collection points offered by our courier and that collection point is managed by a third party other than the courier (for example, a local convenience store), the day after it is delivered to that third party.

6.2

If you cancel, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products in accordance with the refunds policy (see below).

6.3

To cancel a Contract, you must clearly inform us, preferably:

6.4

You must also return the Products within 28 days after the day of cancelling, in the same condition in which you receive them, together will all the original packaging, labels and tags. This does not affect your right to take reasonable steps to examine the Products, including taking them out of the packaging and trying on any item of clothing.

6.5

You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products whilst in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation and you return the Products not in the same condition in which you receive them (for example, they are returned stained, marked, torn or showing other signs of having been worn (and not merely tried on) or otherwise used), then the cost of any such deterioration, up to the full purchase price of the Product, may be deducted from any refund to which you are otherwise entitled. This may mean you receive no refund at all.

6.6

You will not have any right to cancel a Contract for the supply of any Products that have been personalised or made to your own bespoke specifications (if such options are offered), unless such Products were damaged or faulty when delivered to you or have been incorrectly delivered.

To return the Products, you should package the parcel securely (making sure you include a note of your name and address (enclosing any returns slip, if you have been provided with one) inside the parcel) and then return it, either by courier or by recorded delivery mail or other form of certified mail, to the following address:

If you cancel a Contract within the 28-day cooling-off period (see above), the refund due to you will be processed as soon as possible and, in any case, within 14 days after the day on which the Products are received back or, if earlier, the day on which you provide evidence that you have returned the Products to the returns address (see above). The full price of the Products will be refunded to you, in full (subject to any deduction we are entitled to make due to your use of or damage to the Products), including the cost of standard delivery. However, your cost of returning the Products will not be refunded.
