How We will Communicate with You info@fitflop.com. We may give notice to you by posting it on the Website or at any address (email or postal) you provide to us. Notice will be deemed received and properly served immediately when posted on the Website, 24 hours after an e-mail is sent to your email address, or three days after the date of posting of any letter.

When using the Website, you accept that communication with us will be mainly electronic. We will generally contact you by e-mail or provide you with information by posting notices on the Website. By using the Website you agree to this means of communication and you acknowledge that all contracts, notices, information and other communications that we provide to you electronically comply with any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. This condition does not affect your legal rights.

We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under these terms and conditions, including any contract between you and us concluded under these terms and conditions, such as, but not limited to, a contract for the sale of Products to you, that is caused by events outside our reasonable control (a ‘Force Majeure Event’). A Force Majeure Event may include for example (but without limitation) the following: strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action; civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war; fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic or other natural disaster; impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport; impossibility of the use of public or private telecommunications networks; the acts, decrees, legislation, regulations or restrictions of any government.

Our performance under any contract is deemed to be suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues, and we will have an extension of time for performance for the duration of that period. We will use our reasonable endeavours to bring the Force Majeure Event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under any contract may be performed despite the Force Majeure Event.

These terms and conditions including the documents referred to in them (in each case, as amended from time to time) constitute the entire agreement between us and you in relation to use of the Website and/or supply any of the services or any of the Products to you and supersedes all previous agreements in respect of the same.

If we fail, at any time during the term of any contract between you and us concluded under these terms and conditions, such as, but not limited to, a contract for the sale of Products to you, to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations under that contract or any of these terms and conditions, or if we fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled under the contract or these terms and conditions, this shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve you from compliance with such obligations.

No waiver by us of any of these terms and conditions shall be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to you in writing in accordance with the Notices section of these terms and conditions. A waiver by us of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any other default.

If any of these terms and conditions or any provisions of a contract concluded under these terms and conditions are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent allowed by law.

The terms and conditions, as well as any contract in respect of a transaction carried out through the Website are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute (including non-contractual disputes) which cannot be resolved between us shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

Delivery charges will be displayed on the order page before payment is requested. The time frames shown for delivery are subject to availability and are not guaranteed.

Delivery can be made to the majority of UK addresses excluding P.O. Boxes. Unfortunately at this time we cannot take orders for delivery to British Forces Post Offices (BFPO), Freight Forwarders, International addresses.

The following area postcodes have extended delivery lead times as shown:

For security reasons the precise timing of a delivery cannot be specified. All deliveries require a signature to confirm receipt.

Once delivered and paid for in full, the Product(s) ordered will become your property and your responsibility and, except in relation to Products that are damaged or faulty when delivered or have been incorrectly delivered, we will not accept any liability for their loss, damage or destruction after delivery.

We strongly advise you to thoroughly check your Products upon receipt. Please read through and sign the "Proof of Delivery" (POD) as this will protect your interests regarding any claim concerning short delivery and/or damaged and/or defective goods found on delivery, or concerning damaged or defective goods found at a later date. We do not accept any claims for damage caused by you.

In order to make sure you receive your goods as soon as possible, if you are not at home when we try to deliver we might leave your parcel with one of your neighbours. If we do this we will leave a card stating where the parcel has been left. In case we cannot reach you or your neighbours to receive your parcel we will leave a card in your letterbox to notify you that we tried to deliver your parcel. Please follow the instructions on the card to schedule a replacement delivery day.

In addition to your right to cancel, you may return Products for any reason within 28 days of the dispatch date. This is in addition to your legal rights as a consumer. Any order returned 6 months or longer after the purchase date will not be entitled to a refund.

If you wish to return any Products, please package them well to prevent any damage during transport and send the parcel back to the return address shown on the paperwork included with your delivery. If for any reason you cannot find the return address, please use the following address:

Please ensure that you complete the returns note on the reverse of your dispatch note and include it inside your package. We recommend that you use a ‘signed for’ delivery method and obtain proof of postage.

We encourage to you to indicate the reason for return on the returns note using the codes provided and, in the case of a fault or error on our part, please provide a full description in the space provided. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our service.

If you have any difficulty or have any other queries regarding the returns procedure, our Customer Services Department will be able to assist at info@fitflop.com or on 0207 751 3694.

You must obtain a receipt for your return package at the Post Office counter, which can be used to track the Product(s) you are returning. Unfortunately we cannot accept liability for returned goods that we don’t receive, or for those that get damaged in shipping on their return.

Please Look After the Products

It's important that returned Products are in the best possible condition, so please take reasonable care of them and keep all packaging.

In all cases, except where an item is faulty or where you have cancelled your order in accordance with the Cancellation section, the item(s) returned must be in their original and saleable condition without having been worn outdoors. This includes all packaging and labelling.

All Products will be inspected on return.

Returned Products are your responsibility until they reach our warehouse, so make sure you package them up well to prevent any damage or lost shoes during shipping.

If we have sent you the wrong items, or your order is faulty (see the Faulty or Damaged Products section below), damaged or not as described on arrival, please contact us. We will refund the postal charges you incur to return such items. Please make sure that you obtain proof of postage from your post office, and we will credit your account as soon as possible.

If you cancel an order in accordance with the Cancellation section, we will not (unless otherwise stated) refund the postal charges you incur to return such items.

For all other returns, the initial delivery charge is non-refundable (unless otherwise stated) and you must also pay the postal charges for returning the Products.

If you cancel an order in accordance with the Cancellation section we will refund the price paid (including the amount of the minimum delivery charge) to the original payment method within 30 days of your notice of cancellation.

For all other returns, on receipt at our warehouse, standard inspection checks will be carried out on the returned Products and, once approved, a refund to the original payment method for the price paid will be issued (note that except where we have sent you the wrong items, or your order is faulty, damaged or not as described on arrival, we will not unless otherwise stated refund the initial delivery charge or the postal charges you incur to return such items). Please allow up to 10 working days from receipt for this refund to be made.

We cannot accept liability nor can we take responsibility for any bank charges that you may have incurred during the order process.

Items purchased may not be returned via any of our retailer partners.

In the UK you have the legal right to cancel your order within 14 days following your receipt of the goods. Refunds for orders cancelled under the provisions of the Consumer Contracts Regulations will be processed in accordance with your legal rights. For further information about your statutory rights, contact your local authority Trading Standards department or consumer advice centre (for example the Citizen's Advice Bureau).

If you wish to cancel (or are considering cancelling) a product or service you have ordered from us, please be aware of the following terms that apply:

If you choose to exercise you right to cancel, you will need to return the entire order at your cost (although if we offer free returns on the order then you can use this to return it).

In all cases goods must be in their original condition and will be inspected on arrival. Should we ship out but not receive a cancelled order back, we reserve the right to have it collected at your cost.

Nothing in this section affects your legal rights as a consumer under applicable laws. If any Product you purchase is damaged or faulty when delivered, we may offer an exchange or refund as appropriate, in accordance with your legal rights. Please note that if the damage to a Product is deemed to be malicious by a competent court, no refund (not Product, nor delivery charge, nor return postage) will be made.

This website is not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children.

If you are under 16, please do not send any information to us.

If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from a child under the age of 16 without parental or guardian consent, we will delete that information.

If you are under 18 but over 16, please make sure you ask your parents or guardians for permission before sending any information to us.

We share your personal data within the FitFlop group of companies. This sometimes involves sharing your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Some of our suppliers are based outside the EEA so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

• We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
• Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.
• Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US.

Please Contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.

We have put in place security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. We also limit access to your personal data to a ‘need to know’ basis. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We always use industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring and receiving consumer data exchanged with our Website.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure and we have no control over the public network through which personal information may be sent to our website. Once we receive your transmission, we will do our best to protect its security on our systems. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Ordering online using your credit card details can be just as safe as ordering goods over the telephone. Where we have one, our Website will display any issued Secure Server Digital Certificate by a relevant online Certification Authority such as VeriSign.

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for.

We always consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk unauthorised use of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.

You have rights relating to your personal data. These may include a right to:

• Request access to your personal data
• Request correction of your personal data.
• Request erasure of your personal data.
• Object to processing of your personal data.
• Request restriction of processing your personal data.
• Request transfer of your personal data.
• Withdraw consent
• Complain to your regulator – in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office

When we think that a breach of this Policy has occurred, we may take any action we consider appropriate, including immediate temporary or permanent withdrawal of your right to use the Website, immediate removal of any Contribution, issue of a warning to you, and/or legal proceedings.

By submitting a Contribution or using this Website, you warrant that you are in compliance with the standards set out in this policy, and that you will compensate us for any losses we suffer in the event of a breach of this warranty.

This section sets out the conditions under which we will supply Products to you through the Website.

Although we do our best to ensure that all material and information published on the Website is accurate, all Products are subject to availability. If we cannot supply you with the Product(s) you ordered, we will not process your order and will inform you of this in writing (including email). If you have already paid for the Product or service, we will refund you in full as soon as reasonably possible.

To place an order through the Website, you warrant that you are at least 18 years old, legally capable of entering into binding contracts, and resident in the UK. We do not accept orders on this Website from people outside the UK.

You can check and correct your order at any point up until you have clicked the ‘Place Order’ button on the payment and delivery page. Details of your order history will be available through your ‘My Account’ page.

The contract between us shall be concluded in English. If these terms and conditions (or any part of them) are made available in languages other than English, the English language version shall take priority.

You are required to provide us with your email address when placing an order (or when registering an account with us). We will notify you by email as soon as possible to confirm that we have received your order. Please note that all orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail confirmation that the Product has been dispatched (‘Dispatch Confirmation’). We may choose not to accept your order for any reason and will not be liable to you or to anyone else in those circumstances. The contract between us (‘Contract’) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.

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.

During the checkout process, you will be asked to complete your payment details. All fields shown as compulsory must be completed. Please note that we will collect and store your information using an encrypted secure payment mechanism and will only use it in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

The price of any Products will be as quoted on the Website from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. These prices include VAT and any other applicable sales taxes but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to your order before your payment is finalised. Prices and delivery charges displayed are valid and effective only in the United Kingdom.

Prices are liable to change at any time, but (except in cases of obvious error) changes will not affect orders in respect of which the ordering process is complete.

We may from time to time offer promotional discount codes (either directly or via third parties) which will apply to specified purchases made though this Website. Unless otherwise expressly stated, such codes may only be applied to purchases of full-price items and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer or discounts. Codes must be correctly entered at the checkout to be valid.

Only one discount code may be used per order. Discount codes may not be used against delivery prices or gift vouchers unless otherwise stated.

You can pay by MasterCard, Visa credit, Visa debit, Visa Electron, JCB, Maestro, Solo, PayPal and Apple Pay. In placing your order with a credit or debit card or by PayPal or Apple Pay you confirm that the card/payment method being used is yours and/or you are authorised to use it and that there are sufficient funds or credit facilities to cover the cost of any Products or services. We may obtain validation of your credit or debit card details or payment method details before providing you with any Products or services. All customers are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer/payment provider.

If the issuer of your payment method refuses to authorise payment we will not accept your order or be under any obligation to deliver the relevant Products. We will not be obliged to inform you of the reason for the refusal, and we will not be liable for non-delivery of the Products ordered.

We are not responsible for your card issuer, bank or payment provider charging you as a result of our processing of your credit/debit card/payment method in accordance with your order.

Your credit/debit card or payment method will be charged when we dispatch your order from our warehouse.

If your payment is not received and you have already received the Products you ordered from us, you must pay for the Products or return those Products to us in accordance with reasonable return instructions that we provide to you and in the same condition that you received them at your own expense. If you do not do this within 30 days of the date on which we cancel your order, we may collect (or arrange for collection) the Products at your expense. We reserve the right to charge you for any and all damage to any Products that are the subject of an unpaid order.

Apple Pay is a trademark of Apple Inc.

Very occasionally we may need to cancel an order at our discretion. If this becomes necessary, it will be without charge to you.

If you order Products from our site for delivery outside the UK, they may be subject to import duties and taxes which are levied when the delivery reaches the specified destination. You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please note that we have no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order.

Please also note that you must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the products are destined. We will not be liable for any breach by you of any such laws.

In this section we set out what we are and are not liable to you for in the provision of the Website and our Products. This section applies to all our terms and conditions.

The terms in this section apply only to the extent allowed by law and do not affect your statutory rights as a consumer. Nothing in these terms and conditions limits or excludes our liability for: (a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (c) any other liability that may not be excluded or limited under applicable law.

We will not be responsible or liable to you for any damage caused by any Contribution, or the loss of any Contribution. You agree to fully compensate us and our employees, agents, and suppliers for all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including legal fees) arising out of any Contribution, or any non-compliance with or breach of these terms and conditions by you, or any other liabilities arising out of your use of the Website, or the use of the Website by any other person using your shopping account and/or your personal data and information.

We will do our best to ensure that all material and information published on the Website is accurate. However, the Website is provided on an ‘as is’ and ‘as available’ basis and may contain technical inaccuracies or typographical errors. We give no warranties, whether express or implied, in relation to the Website, or any third party content accessed on or through the Website, or any transaction that may be conducted on or through the Website, including any warranties of: (a) non-infringement, security or accuracy; (b) that your use of the Website will be uninterrupted, error or defect free; or (c) that the Website or the server that makes it available to you are free of viruses or bugs or that any defect will be fixed promptly or at all.

Commentary and other materials posted on the Website are not intended to constitute advice upon which any reliance should be placed. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we therefore disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such materials by any visitor to our site, or by anyone who may be informed of any of its contents.

The Products offered or promoted on the Website are not medical products or medical devices, and may produce different results for different users. Notwithstanding any third party content or promotional or marketing material, the Products should be used by you as directed (and subject to such precautions as notified) to you from time to time by us, whether through the Website or otherwise.

We warrant to you that any Product purchased from us through the Website is of satisfactory quality and reasonably fit for all the purposes for which products of that kind are commonly supplied. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, we disclaim any and all other warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, in relation to the Products. This does not affect your legal rights as a consumer, nor does it affect any right to cancel.

We will not be responsible for any losses you suffer as a result of us breaching these terms and conditions that were not reasonably foreseeable to both you and us when you commenced using the Website, or when the contract for the sale of Products by us to you was formed. However, to the extent allowed by law, where any claim relates to the supply of Products by us to you, our liability for losses you suffer is limited to the purchase price of the Product you purchased.

This does not include or limit in any way our liability for any matter for which it would be illegal for us to exclude, including for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

To the fullest extent permissible by applicable laws, we are not responsible for indirect losses which happen as a side effect of the main loss or damage and even if such losses result from a deliberate breach of these terms and conditions by us that would entitle you to terminate the contract between us, including but not limited to:

(a) loss of income or revenue 

(b) loss of business 

(c) loss of profits or contracts 

(d) loss of anticipated savings 

(e) loss of data 

(f) loss of data, or 

(g) waste of management or office time however arising and whether caused by tort (including negligence), breach of contract or otherwise, even if foreseeable.

We accept no liability, to the extent allowed by law, for any costs, losses or damages resulting from or related to the purchase or attempted purchase of our Products by persons in jurisdictions outside the United Kingdom or who are nominees of or trustees for citizens, residents or nationals of other countries.

We exclude liability for actions taken in response to breaches of our Acceptable Use Policy. The responses described in this policy are not limited, and we may take any other action we reasonably deem appropriate.
