CONCESSIONAIRE BRANDS

Where you place an order a third-party seller that sells Products on our site (a "Concessionaire Brand") Debenhams Brands Limited acts as the Concessionaire Brand's disclosed agent and not as principal. This means the contract for the sale of such Products is made between you and the relevant Concessionaire Brand, and these terms and conditions apply to such Contracts. Other than concluding sales as a disclosed agent on the Concessionaire Brands’ behalf, we have no responsibility to you in respect of contracts made with any Concessionaire Brands and all references in the remainder of these terms and conditions to "we", "us" or "our" shall be deemed to refer to the relevant Concessionaire Brand where your order relates to Products offered or sold by such Concessionaire Brand or, alternatively, to Debenhams Brands Limited where your order relates to Products offered or sold by Debenhams Brands Limited. The Concessionaire Brand company details can be found here.

PRODUCTS

The images of the Products on our site and in our other advertising materials are for illustrative purposes only. Your Products may vary slightly from those images. Although we have made every effort to display and print the colours of the Products accurately, we cannot guarantee that your device or computer's display of the pictures, or the pictures in our other advertising materials, accurately reflect the colours of the Products that will be delivered to you. The Products may vary slightly from these images.

Whilst we take reasonable care to ensure accuracy, all sizing and measurements of Products detailed on our site are approximate. We cannot guarantee that all details are always accurate, complete, or error free.

All our Products are sold on the basis that they are suitable for domestic and private use only. As such, none of our Products are intended for use in connection with any business purpose.

Please note that Products on our site are not aimed at persons aged under 16 and may be unsuitable for persons under this age group.

PRODUCT AVAILABILITY

Some restrictions are placed on the extent to which we accept orders from specific countries. These restrictions can be found on our "Deliveries" page here.

If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the Product(s). This may happen in circumstances, including (but not limited to) where the Product(s) is/are out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, or because we have identified an error in the price or description of the Product(s).

We may make changes to these Terms and Conditions from time to time. The Terms and Conditions that apply to your Contract will be those that are displayed on our site when you place your order.

YOUR STATUS

You may only purchase Products from us if:

(a) you are legally capable of entering into a binding contract with us;

(b) you are an authorised user of the credit or debit card or payment account (i.e. PayPal, Klarna or Clearpay used to pay for your order; and,

(c) you are placing an order for delivery in a country that we deliver to (please see our "Deliveries" page here for further information).

HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US

Once you have placed your order, you should receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that We have received your order (but please contact us if you do not receive this e-mail). Please note this does not mean that your order has been accepted. All orders are subject to availability and acceptance by us (which We may refuse for any reason).

After you submit your order, We immediately contact your bank or card issuer for authorisation to take payment from your account. We will not process your order until payment has been received in full. If we accept your order We will confirm this to you by sending you a further e-mail confirming the Product is being processed ready for dispatch at which point the contract between us ("Contract") will be formed.

As soon as you place your order, we start to process your order which means you will not be able to change it before delivery, but you may be able to return your Products under clause 10 of these terms and conditions or under our Returns Policy.

From time to time We may make minor changes to a Product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements.

These Terms and Conditions, and any Contract between us, are only in the English language. Please note that we may not necessarily keep a copy of your Contract. You should keep a copy of these Terms and Conditions and your order for future reference.

DELIVERY

We will seek to fulfil your order by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then as soon as reasonably possible (depending on the delivery service you have selected). In any event, delivery will take place no more than 30 days after the day your Contract is entered into. Working Days excludes Sunday and Bank Holidays and Saturdays for some Concessionaire Brands.

If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the Products can not be posted through your letterbox or left in a safe place and/or if you do not collect the Products from an address notified to you by our carrier within the time period notified to you by our carrier at the time delivery is attempted, we may end the Contract and clause 11 will apply.

Delivery of your order will be complete when we deliver the Products to the address you gave us and the Products will be your responsibility from that time.

If you check out using your bank details, PayPal, or Apple Pay, you will own the Products once we have received payment in full. However, when you check-out using a payment instalment method, e.g. through a finance provider such as ZipPay, Klarna or Clearpay, then alternative terms will apply to you, further information on this is set out in clause 9 below.

Please note postcode restrictions apply. Delivery times and costs may be increased where the Products are shipped outside the UK. Check your eligibility here.

If you wish to dispute delivery of your order, you have 28 days starting from the day that the tracking status for you order is updated by the carrier as fulfilled (i.e. updated as delivered to the address set out in the Dispatch Confirmation). We reserve the right to request evidence, before issuing any refund of the price paid and/or any associated delivery costs.

In addition, if you order Products from us for delivery to a destination outside the UK:

(a) your order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when it reaches the delivery destination. Please note that we have no control over these charges and we cannot predict their amount. You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order. We will not be liable or responsible if you do not pay any such import duties or taxes;

(b) you must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Products are destined. We will not be liable or responsible if you break any such law; and

(c) please see our [Returns Policy] (/pages/informational/returns) for details on returning any Products to us from a destination outside the UK.

PRICE AND PAYMENT

The price payable for the Products shall be as shown on our site in pounds sterling (GBP), although please see clauses 9.5 below for what happens if we discover an error in the price of any Product you order. Prices advertised on our site include UK VAT at the relevant rate chargeable for the time being, but exclude delivery charges which are payable in addition and shown separately during the checkout process.

We can change the prices on our site at any time without notice, but changes will not affect orders which we have already accepted. However, if the rate of VAT changes after the date of your order, we will adjust the rate of VAT you pay unless you have already paid for the Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.

We accept payment by debit card, credit card, Apple Pay (iOS only), PayPal, ZipPay, Clearpay, Klarna and Laybuy (not available on App). We accept the following cards: Visa, VISA Electron, Mastercard, Maestro, American Express.

You must pay for the Products (including all applicable delivery charges), and we will charge the card you have chosen to use to pay for your order once you reach the final billing page and submit your order. We immediately contact your bank or card issuer for authorisation to take payment from your account. If you are using Clearpay, such payment will be subject to additional terms between you and Clearpay, available at https://www.clearpay.co.uk/en-GB/terms-of-service and these terms may specify when you will own the Products that you purchase in this way. For more information about how Clearpay will handle your personal data see their Privacy Notice, available https://www.clearpay.co.uk/en-GB/privacy-policy. If you pay using Klarna, such payment will subject to additional terms between you and Klarna, available at https://www.klarna.com/uk/terms-and-conditions.

For more information about how ZipPay will handle your personal data see their Privacy Notice, available here https://zip.co/uk/privacy-policy/.

It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We have the right to reject an order if we discover a pricing error. We will normally check prices before accepting your order and if the price is incorrect, we will try to contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we are unable to contact you, your order will be cancelled. If we accept and process your order where there is a pricing error that is obvious and unmistakable and which could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the Contract, refund to you any sums you have paid under the Contract and require the return of any Products provided to you.

If you wish to apply a discount code or e-gift voucher code to your order, you must enter the relevant code during the online checkout process. Only one discount code and/or a maximum of five e-gift voucher codes, can be used per order and additional terms and conditions may apply in respect of each discount code. We reserve the right to decline to accept any discount or e-gift voucher code that is invalid for your order or that has expired.

YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL THE CONTRACT

If you are a consumer in the UK or the European Union ("EU"), you have a legal right to cancel a Contract if you change your mind, until 14 days after you receive (or someone you nominate receives) the Product(s), unless the Products are split into several deliveries over different days, in which case you will have until 14 days after the day you receive (or someone you nominate receives) the last Product which you ordered under the Contract which you wish to cancel. We are entitled to extend your period for cancellation at our discretion and you should review our Returns Policy from time to time for further information.

You are entitled to exercise your rights to cancel an order in respect of any one, or all Products from an order. Please see our Returns Policy for more details.

You may be entitled to a repair, replacement, or refund where you receive faulty Products, or your Products become faulty. Please let us know as soon as reasonably possible after becoming aware of a fault with your Product. For further information, please see our Returns Policy.

If you wish to cancel a Contract under clauses 8.1 to 8.3 above, please let us know within the timescales set out under those clauses. There are a few ways to contact us, you can:

Write to us via post: Debenhams Brands Limited, PO Box 553, Burnley, BB11 9GD.

For full details on returns and items that are excluded from being returned, please see our Returns Policy.

If you cancel a Contract under clause 9.1 before you receive the Products, but after the Products have been dispatched to you, you must return them to us once received. You must send off the Products for return within 14 days of telling us that you wish to cancel the Contract. Please note there will be a cost of £1.99 for returning the Products to us (this cost is not appliable to Burton VIP Customers).

If you cancel your Contract under clause 10.1, we will: (a) subject to clause 10.9, refund you the price you paid for the Products (minus the £1.99 cost for returning the Products). However, please note that we may reduce the value of your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the Products if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the Products and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount; and (b) refund some or all of charges you have paid for delivery of the Products to you on the basis that the maximum refund for delivery costs will be the least expensive delivery method we offer to your delivery destination; and (c) make any refunds due to you by the method you used for payment: (i) 14 days after the day on which we receive the Products back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Products back to us; or (ii) 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.

Please see our Returns Policy here for more information about returns and refunds.

If you wish to return any Product that you have purchased or if you wish to cancel an order for a Product after having used ZipPay, Clearpay, Klarna or Laybuy (a “buy now, pay later” service provider) to pay for the Product (assuming that you are entitled to do so in accordance with this Contract and/or our Returns Policy), we will notify the relevant service provider that you have cancelled or returned your items to us and the relevant service provider will process your full or partial refund as applicable, in accordance with its Terms and Conditions. Please note that different refund processing times may apply and you should review the applicable terms for your chosen service provider for further information.
