  2. 3.2 No Orders should be placed by persons under the age of 18.
  3. 3.3 For delivery information, including costs, please see our Delivery Information page.
  4. 3.4 Whilst we try to ensure that all details (including prices) displayed on this Website are correct and up to date, we have a large number of products on our Website and sometimes products may be incorrectly priced. You must ensure that prior to placing an Order, you have checked all relevant details about the Products you have selected as their relevant details may have changed since you last visited this Website. Product prices shown on this Website may change from time to time, for example, if the Product you are ordering is subject to a promotional discount or offer which is either applied or withdrawn during the selling period. Please note if a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the relevant products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.
  5. 3.5 All Products displayed on this Website are subject to availability and all orders are subject to acceptance.
  6. 3.6 Prices do not include applicable sales taxes, delivery charges or other international taxes or duties which will be added to your total prior to you placing your Order.
  7. 3.7 Orders are submitted via the Website in the following way:
     1. (a) Once you are ready to make a purchase, click on 'Add To Shopping Bag' to add the Product you wish to purchase to your Shopping Bag. Then proceed by clicking 'Checkout' to log into secure servers to complete your Order.
     2. (b) You will be asked for your email address to proceed. At this point, you do not have to create an account with us but you are required to provide an email address to process your Order.
     3. (c) If you have already registered with us you may enter your sign-in details to access your account.
     4. (d) You will be required to enter your delivery and billing address details if this is your first Order or do not have an account. If you have an account, you can use the address details from your account or add a new delivery address. You will then be required to enter your payment details.
     5. (e) We currently cannot store payment details so you will need to enter these each time you place an Order.
     6. (f) If any delivery charges are payable these will then be added to the amount you will be charged.
     7. (g) Before checking out, you must confirm you wish to make an Order and accept these Terms of Sale.
  8. 3.8 Once you have completed your Order, you may create an account with us, which requires a password. You must keep this password confidential and must not disclose it or share it with anyone else. The address that you register with must be the address that your payment card statement is sent to, however you can use a different shipping address.
  9. 3.9 Once you submit your Order, Global-e will usually then send you a confirmatory email to acknowledge that your Order has been received ("Confirmation"). Please note that the Confirmation does not constitute acceptance of the Order, and no contract for the sale of merchandise under the Order shall come into effect, until you are notified by email that we have dispatched the Merchandise to you. At this point a contract ("Contract") is formed and, depending on your payment method, your payment will be processed in accordance with these Terms of Sale using the payment details you have given to take payment for your Order.
  10. 3.10 You will receive a further email from Global-e confirming despatch of the Product(s) to the shipping address you have requested.

However, if we find the price has changed, or that there has been a pricing error when we receive your Order, we will contact you and ask if you wish to proceed at the correct price.
  13. 3.13 If there are any problems with your Order (for example, we don't have the products you wanted in stock, we can only fulfil part of your Order, or we find the price has changed), you will be contacted by a representative from the Monsoon Accessorize Website Customer Services.

• 4. Payment

  1. 4.1 Payment is taken by our international sales partner, Global-e.

     Accepted Payment Methods

  2. 4.2 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. When being charged, the descriptor you will see shall include Global-e identified as 'Global-e' and will substantially look like this: **Global-e//Monsoon** or **Global-e//Accessorize**.
  3. 4.3 If you place an order on the 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; (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; and (v) you may be charged bank or credit/debit card issuer with additional fees (such as foreign transaction fee or cross border fee) or surcharges imposed by your bank or credit/debit card issuer.
  4. 4.4 Payment by Invoice with Klarna: In cooperation with Klarna and in certain jurisdictions only (Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Germany, Austria, Netherlands), you may be offered the opportunity to purchase goods using Klarna as a payment method. The terms and conditions which will apply to payment by Invoice with Klarna can be found here, noting that German (not English) are the governing and binding language of such terms and conditions. Eligibility for use of the Klarna invoicing payment method will be determined by Klarna in their sole discretion and we accept no liability in respect of your use of Klarna as a payment method. Where you choose to purchase your goods using payment by invoice with Klarna, you will be sharing your personal data with Klarna and the terms of Klarna privacy policy shall apply to their use of your personal information. We shall have no responsibility for their use of your personal data.

     Currency

  5. 4.5 The price of Products is calculated according to the rate of exchange between the base currency on the Website and the local currency of the destination country at the time you place your Order. Global-e reserves 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

  6. 4.6 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.
  7. 4.7 In the event that the option to pre-pay applicable Taxes is available for you and you choose to pre-pay such taxes, your final price will be fully guaranteed by Global-e, and Global-e will be fully responsible for paying the taxes determined by your delivery destination country upon import of your Order.
  8. 4.8 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 the these Terms of Sale) as determined by the authorities of the shipping destination country, and neither we nor Global-e shall have responsibility or liability in connection with the foregoing.
  9. 4.9 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 duties; and (d) if applicable, return such products to Monsoon (subject to these Terms of Sale) and (if applicable) handle the associated reimbursement claim for taxes and duties paid. You acknowledge that, in the case of a return of Products under these Terms of Sale, you (and not Global-e or anyone on its behalf) will be fully responsible for claiming back such taxes from the applicable tax authority, to the extent possible, and neither we nor Global-e shall have responsibility or liability in connection with such claim.
  10. 4.10 If you elect not to pre-pay taxes and duties, or fail to pay taxes and duties, or refuse to accept products not in accordance with a due cancellation procedure under these Terms of Sale, in each case resulting in the products being returned or needing to be returned to us, then you may be liable for the return delivery costs and may not be reimbursed or refunded for delivery costs paid by you for making the delivery to you. We may also charge you with additional direct or indirect charges resulting from said failure or refusal. We may, if it is in accordance with these Terms, reimburse and refund you for the cost of the products, but not the import charges which may or may not be reimbursable by the relevant authority

• 5. Delivery

  1. 5.1 Please see the Delivery Charges for details of delivery times depending on your location. We will arrange for delivery of the products and aim to deliver your order by the timing for your selected delivery method.
  2. 5.2 Ownership of the Product(s) you order shall pass in accordance with these Terms of Sale, in the United Kingdom (where the contract for the sale of Product is concluded). The ownership of the Products ordered will pass to you the moment Global-e has dispatched the Products to you (provided that you have made full payment of the Order price plus delivery charges and any other charges payable under these Terms of Sale, as applicable). You will be considered the 'importer of record' of the Product(s), and Global-e will only be facilitating the importation on your behalf as your agent. You therefore need to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and rules of the country into which you import the Product(s).
