To place an order, you can open an account with us (“Your Account”) which will require you to provide some compulsory personal information. Alternatively, you can choose to place your order via the guest checkout.

Please see our Privacy and Cookie Policy for more information on what personal information and how that personal information will be used and stored.

You confirm that all information and details provided by you to us (including on registration) are true, accurate and up to date in all respects and at all times. You can update or correct your details at any time by going to Your Account.

When you create an account we may provide you with and/or ask you to use passwords or other means to allow you to access certain areas of the Website and/or to maintain your account security. It is your responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of your password and account information. M&S shall not be liable to any person for any loss or damage which may arise as a result of any failure by you to protect your password or account. Should you become aware of or suspect any unauthorised use of your password or account, please contact us. If M&S is suspicious of any fraudulent activity coming from your account, it can reserve the right to refuse you access to your account and can delete the account.

When you order through the Website via our guest checkout you will still need to provide us with certain compulsory personal information in order for us to process your order. However, you can choose to register an account with us after submitting your order. Please see our Privacy Policy to see how your personal information will be used and stored.

 

Acceptance of your order

Please note that completion of the online checkout process does not constitute our acceptance of your offer to purchase products or services from us. We will notify you by email as soon as possible to acknowledge that we have received and are processing your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place only when we despatch the product(s) or on commencement of the services that you ordered from us. This will be no later than 1 week after we have received payment from you. Prior to despatch of the product(s), M&S has the right to decline an order for any reason, including legal and regulatory reasons.

The duration of our contract with you will start from when you receive the order despatch email and last until the last day of your right to return the products.

If we cannot supply you with the product or service you ordered, we will not process your order and inform you of this in writing (via email) and, if you have already paid for the product or service, we will refund you in full as soon as reasonably possible, but in any event no later than 14 days after receipt of your payment.

If the fulfilment of an order (or any aspect of it) would be illegal or unlawful, including by reason of breach of export controls or sanctions rules, M&S and Global-E have the right to stop or cease to fulfil the order at any time, including after despatch of products and/or notification to you that the order has been received and is being processed. You acknowledge that M&S and Global-E shall not incur any liability in such circumstances.

 

Payment

Payment is taken by our international sales facilitation and fulfilment partner, Global-E.

Accepted Payment Methods

You may pay by debit card, credit card or another alternative payment method specified as part of the checkout process. Global E may change the payment methods at any time but this will not affect any existing order. The availability of a certain payment method may depend on your geographical location.

Payment

If you place an order on our Website, then you acknowledge and agree that: (i) Global-E will charge you through the payment method you have selected for your order and such other amounts that may accrue in connection with the order; (ii) that you will provide valid and current information for (a) yourself and (b) if applicable, another person, but only if you have first obtained their express consent to do so; (iii) that Global-E may use tools, software or services of payment processors to process transactions on their behalf; and (iv) if your payment is not received by Global-E for any reason from your card issuer, you agree to promptly pay all amounts due upon request and using the method that Global-E reasonably prescribes.

Currency

The price of products is calculated according to the rate of exchange between the base currency on our Website and the currency that you select as part of the purchase process at the time you place your order. Global-E reserve the right to update such exchange rates regularly at its sole discretion, and you acknowledge that such updates may affect product pricing on the Website. You will be charged according to the applicable exchange rate at the time you place your order via the Website.

Taxes

For certain shipping destination countries and/or products, you may be offered the option to pre-pay applicable taxes, which will then be calculated and included in the final price when you place an order through the Website. You acknowledge that such taxes are set by the shipping destination country and therefore may vary from country to country.

For clarity, the option to pre-pay taxes may not be available for your shipping destination country and/or your products, in which case: (a) you acknowledge that the amount of taxes displayed under the pre-pay option on the Website is an estimate only, and the actual taxes payable by you may be more or less than such estimate; and (b) you will be fully responsible for paying all applicable taxes directly to the relevant authority (and for reclaiming them in the event of a cancellation of your order or the return of products, to the extent permitted in these Terms) as determined by the authorities of the shipping destination country, and Global-E shall have no responsibility or liability in connection with the foregoing.

Global-E may contract with a local licensed customs broker in your country, in which case, by placing an order through the Website, you authorise the applicable customs broker to act as your agent to: (a) conduct transactions with the local customs authority, (b) execute related documents on your behalf in connection with the import of products in your order, (c) facilitate your payment of applicable taxes; and (d) if applicable, return such products to M&S (subject to these General Terms and Conditions of Sale) and (if applicable) handle the associated reimbursement claim for taxes paid. You acknowledge that, in the case of a return of products under the General Terms and Conditions of Sale below, if Global E are able to obtain on your behalf reimbursement of taxes paid on orders, any such reimbursement will be paid by the applicable tax authority to the customs broker, and then Global-E will reimburse such amounts directly to you if and to the extent, and only after, Global-E receives such amounts from the customs broker.

Delivery and Collection

Delivery (including delivery charges and timescales)

Delivery charges and timescales vary depending on the type of products ordered, the service you select and the delivery address. You’ll find full details of our delivery charges here.

If no fixed date or timeline has been agreed upon, our deliveries are performed within a maximum period of 30 days.

Please note that certain products and services may be subject to alternative delivery charges, restrictions and/or timescales. If delivery cannot be made to a customer due to the customer not being present at the address at the time allotted by the carrier or if a customer refuses to accept the products, M&S reserves the right to deduct the cost for returning products to the M&S returns centre from the customer's refund for the order.

All risk in the products you order (including risk of loss and/or damage to the products) shall pass to you when they are delivered to the delivery address specified in your order.

Delays

Where the supply of your product(s) or service(s) is delayed or prevented for reasons beyond our control (for example, material shortages, import delays or higher than anticipated demand) we will make every effort to keep you informed but shall be under no liability to you for such delay or failure. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph does not exclude or effect in any way any statutory right that is afforded to you to cancel an order when a product is delayed or not provided.

Our Goodwill Refund Policy

Our “goodwill” refund policy does not affect your legal rights under the CRD or other applicable legislation.

Our “goodwill” refund or exchange policy (where there is no legal right to a refund or exchange under the CRD or otherwise) is offered on clothing and homeware when goods are returned in a resalable condition with a parcel summary document within 35 days of placing your order. For a refund under our goodwill policy, items must be unused, returned in the original packaging and in a re-saleable condition.

To return your items under our “goodwill” refund policy, please use our returns portal to print a returns label and returns note. You will need to return all or part of your order at your own cost through your preferred carrier.

If you choose to return any products to us, we will not be responsible for any loss or damage to them in transit and, for this reason, we recommend that you use a recorded delivery service. If returned products are lost or damaged in transit, we reserve the right to charge you (or not to refund any amounts attributable to) such loss or damage.

Please note that you may have cancellation rights governed by local legislation. Nothing in these General Terms and Conditions of Sale will affect these statutory rights.

Exclusions from the goodwill policy

The following items are excluded from our "goodwill" returns policy:

Earrings, hampers, duvets*, pillows*, bra accessories, lingerie (not including bras), swimwear*, toiletries*, non-M&S branded toys and gifts*, non-M&S branded luggage and personalised items and any products with a seal where the seal is broken. These products can only be returned in accordance with your legal rights (for example, if they are not fit for purpose or not as described).

*Please note that these products and electronic items can only be returned under our goodwill policy if they are unopened and have the security seal intact.

Some of these items may have their own terms and conditions which will be provided to you at the time of purchase.

 

Self-postage return to the UK

Alternatively you may return your order by post. Items returned by post will have to be returned at your cost unless in accordance with your statutory rights. You’ll find full details of how to return your order by post here.

Damaged or incorrectly supplied products

You should check all products you receive against your order. If the products you receive are damaged or incorrectly supplied on delivery then you must note the details of any damage or error in supply on the delivery documentation or if you are unable to view the items on receipt, you must inform us (by post, phone or email only) within a reasonable period of time. You must return the products to us as soon as possible after informing us that the products are damaged or have been incorrectly supplied.

In the case of damaged or incorrectly supplied goods, we will offer you a refund. Any refunds will be given by Global-E and will be made to the debit/credit card account provided when you placed your order and will be subject to our right to withhold amounts for products which are damaged on return or for which we arrange collection.

Product and service descriptions

We have taken reasonable precautions to try to ensure that prices quoted on the Website are correct and that all products have been fairly described. However, when ordering products or services through the Website, please note that:

• orders will only be accepted if there are no material errors in the description of the goods or services or their prices as advertised on this Website;

• all prices are displayed in your local currency and local tax where applicable unless expressly indicated otherwise;

• packaging may vary from that shown on the Website;

• the weights, dimensions and capacities shown on the Website are approximate only;

• whilst we try to display the colours of our products accurately on the Website, the actual colours you see will depend on your monitor and we cannot guarantee that your monitor's display of any colour will accurately reflect the colour of the product on delivery; and

• all items are subject to availability. We will inform you as soon as possible if the product(s) or service(s) you have ordered are not available and we may offer alternative product(s) or service(s) of equal or higher quality and value.

 

You agree that you will not use, sell or supply any product(s) purchased from M&S in an unlawful manner and, in particular, will comply with all export controls and sanctions rules.

Liability

Nothing in these General Terms and Conditions of Sale limits our liability for personal injury or death caused by our negligence, fraud or any matter that cannot be limited or excluded by law. Nothing in these General Terms and Conditions will affect your statutory rights and, in particular, we will perform our obligations under these General Terms and Conditions of Sale with reasonable care and skill.

Any products we supply to you will be of satisfactory quality. If we deliver a product to you that is not of satisfactory quality, you can contact us for a repair or replacement or, where this is not possible, for a refund.

We are only responsible for losses that are a natural, foreseeable consequence of our breach of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale. We will not be liable to you if we are prevented or delayed from complying with our obligations under these General Terms and Conditions of Sale by anything you (or anyone acting on your behalf) does or fails to do or due to events which are beyond our reasonable control.

You must follow any advice we give you to keep products we supply to you safe (including any instructions or product manuals provided with the products). We cannot accept liability for damage to products we have supplied which is caused by your failure to follow this advice.

In any event we will not be liable for any losses related to any business of yours including (without limitation) lost data, lost profits, lost revenues or business interruption.

Exclusions of liability

Except as expressly provided in these Terms and Conditions, we exclude all representations, warranties, conditions and terms (whether express or implied by statute, common law or otherwise) to the fullest extent permitted by law. We accept no liability for any losses or damages which are not reasonably foreseeable arising out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions or your use of the Website.

These exclusions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law, subject to other mandatory laws which cannot be excluded in the country where you are resident. If any provision of these disclaimers and exclusions shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable then that provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall exclude or limit our liability for personal injury or death caused by our negligence. In addition, these Terms and Conditions shall not limit or exclude any other liability that we are not permitted to limit or exclude under applicable law.

There may be legal notices on other areas of this Website which relate to your use of the Website, all of which will, together with these Terms and Conditions govern your use of this Website.

Assignment and Third Party Rights

You may not assign or sub-contract any of your rights or obligations under these Terms and Conditions to any third party unless we agree in writing.

We may assign, transfer or sub-contract any of our rights or obligations under these Terms and Conditions to any third party at our discretion. However, where we have engaged a third party to perform part of the contract with you, we remain liable towards you for the full performance of our agreement and also for the performance by the third party.

Only you, Global-E and M&S shall be entitled to enforce these Terms and Conditions. No third party shall be entitled to enforce any of these Terms and Conditions, whether by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or the applicable local legislation.

Waiver

No relaxation or delay by us in exercising any right or remedy under these Terms and Conditions shall operate as waiver of that right or remedy or shall affect our ability to subsequently exercise that right or remedy. Any waiver must be agreed by us in writing.

Severability

If any of these Terms and Conditions are found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the rest of these Terms and Conditions shall remain in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement

These Terms and Conditions and any document expressly referred to in them set out the entire agreement between you, Global-E and us and supersede any and all prior terms, conditions, warranties and/or representations to the fullest extent permitted by law.

If you are a consumer resident in an E.E.A member state, you may bring a claim to enforce your consumer rights in connection with the use of this Website before the courts of England and Wales or the courts of your resident country, it being agreed and understood that in no case may this governing law prejudice the level of a consumer’s protection ensured by the laws of your country of residence.
