If You decide to place an Order, We are in no way obligated to accept that Order and the Contract between Us will only be formed in the event that We accept Your Order. Merely submitting an electronic order form and/or completing the checkout process does not constitute an acceptance of Your Order by Us. Acceptance of Your order and the enforceability of the contract between You and Us come into effect only upon the dispatch of Your Goods. You may add any number of Goods within a single Order, subject to any restrictions set out in these Terms or on the Website and each Order which You place will be a separate

Step 1 – Choosing your Goods
You can select a product for purchase by clicking on the item which You are interested in and then clicking on “Add to Basket”.
Step 2 –Reviewing Your Basket

You can change the contents of Your basket by amending the number of Goods You want to order (which may be subject to a maximum number of items, per size from time to time), removing any unwanted items by clicking ‘Remove’ and viewing the basket total value. You can also enter any voucher code which You may have. Entering a valid voucher code and clicking ‘Apply’ will update the basket total. You can then continue shopping and adding to Your basket if You wish or if You don’t want to buy anything else, go straight to the next step.
Step 3 – Going to Checkout
Once You have finished shopping, You will then be asked to choose Your delivery options. Once You have done this, You should select ‘Proceed to Secure Checkout’.

carefully as this is the final stage in the Order process at which You can correct any mistakes or change the Goods which You want to Order. You can do this by returning to the home page and completing the process set out above again. If You are happy with Your Order, click ‘Continue Securely’.
Step 6 – Placing Your Order

This is subject to You returning the Goods to Us within a reasonable period, unworn and in the same condition as they were delivered to You.

If We do not find any fault or defect then Your cancellation and refund rights are limited to those set out in Clauses 8.1 to 8.4 above although this does not affect your statutory rights. Subject to Clause 8.8 below, the remedy in this Clause 8.7 represents our entire liability to You for any claim in respect of the Goods which the law provides, in so far as We are permitted to limit Our liability to You
