2. SERVICE AVAILABILITY

Our site is only intended for use by people resident in the Serviced Countries (See Here). We do not accept orders from individuals outside those countries. Some restrictions are placed on the extent to which we accept orders from specific countries. These restrictions can be found on our Serviced Countries page. Please review our Serviced Countries page before ordering Products from us.

3. YOUR STATUS

3.1. By placing an order through our site, you warrant that:

3.1.1. You are legally capable of entering into binding contracts;

3.1.2. You are at least 18 years old;

3.1.3. You are resident in one of the Serviced Countries; and

3.1.4. You are accessing our site from that country.

4. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US

4.1. After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mailed invoice that confirms that the Product has been dispatched (the "Dispatch Confirmation"). The contract between us (the "Contract") will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.

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

5. OUR STATUS

5.1. We may provide links on our site to the websites of other companies, whether affiliated with us or not. We cannot give any undertaking, that products you purchase from third party sellers through our site, or from companies to whose website we have provided a link on our site, will be of satisfactory quality, and any such warranties are disclaimed by us absolutely. This disclaimer does not affect your statutory rights against the third-party seller. We will notify you when a third party is involved in a transaction, and we may disclose your customer information related to that transaction to the third-party seller.

6. CONSUMER RIGHTS

6.1. If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within thirty working days, beginning on the day after you received the Products. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in clause 10). Further advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or the Netherlands Authority for Consumer and Markets.

6.2. To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. The easiest way to do this is to download and complete the returns form on our website. If you use this method, we will email you to confirm that we have received your cancellation. You must return the Product(s) to us without undue delay and in any event not later than thirty days after the day on which you let us know that you wished to cancel the Contract at your own cost and risk. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation.

6.3. You will not have any right to cancel a Contract for the supply of any of the following Products if opened:

  • Tights
  • Underwear
  • Foundations

6.4 Details of this statutory right, and an explanation of how to exercise it, are provided in the Dispatch Confirmation. This provision does not affect your statutory rights.

7. AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY

7.1 We will contact you with an estimated delivery date, which will be within thirty days after the dispatch of the Dispatch Confirmation. Occasionally our delivery may be affected by an event outside our control, a force majeure event, see clause 15 for your responsibilities when this happens.

7.2 Delivery of an order shall be completed when we deliver the Products to the address you gave us.

7.3 If we miss the thirty-day deadline for any Products then you may cancel your order straight away if any of the following applies:

7.3.1 we have refused to deliver the Product;

7.3.2 delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or

7.3.3 you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.

7.4 If you do not wish to cancel your order straight away, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can cancel your order if we do not meet the new deadline.

7.5 If you do choose to cancel your order for late delivery under clause 7.3, you can do so for just some of the Products or all of them, unless splitting up would significantly reduce their value. If the Products have been delivered to you, you will have to return them to us. After you cancel your order, we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled Products and their delivery. Full details of our delivery terms can be found here.

8. RISK AND TITLE

8.1 The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery.

8.2 Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges.

9. PRICE AND PAYMENT

9.1 The price of any Products will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.

9.2 These prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due as set out in our Delivery Guide here.

9.3 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.

9.4 The price of a Product does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are as advised to you during the checkout process before you confirm your order. To check relevant delivery charges, please refer to our delivery charges and options page, which can be found here.

9.5 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 dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

9.6 We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing.

9.7 Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card. We accept payment with Visa/Mastercard/American Express/EPS/Giropay/iDEAL/Bancontact. We will not charge your credit or debit card until we dispatch your order.

10. OUR REFUNDS POLICY

10.1 When you return a Product to us:

10.1.1 because you have cancelled the Contract between us within the fourteen-day cooling-off period (see clause 6.1) we will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within fourteen days of the day on which we receive the Product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Product back to us. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by you handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. Normally we will refund the price of the Product in full, and any applicable delivery charges, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the cost of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer (providing that this is a common and generally accepted method) however, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us.

10.1.2 for any other reason (for instance, because you have notified us in accordance with paragraph 20 that you do not agree to any change in these terms and conditions or in any of our policies, or because you claim that the Product is defective), we will examine the returned Product and will notify you of your refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund for the defective Product. Products returned by you because of a defect will be refunded in full, including a refund of the delivery charges for sending the item to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the item to us.

10.2 We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.
