Please note that our offers through the Digital Points of Sale are without obligation (vrijblijvend) as referred to in article 6:219 (2) of the Dutch Civil Code.

Prices may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order which we have confirmed in the order confirmation.
In case we discover a pricing error in one or more of the products you ordered, we will inform you about this as soon as possible and provide you with the opportunity to confirm your order against the correct price or to cancel your order. In the event you wish to cancel your order and have already paid for this order, we will refund you as soon as possible.

12. Can you return the products?
Returned products must be returned in the state in which you received them: the returned products must be complete, unworn, unwashed and have all the product labels and tags intact and must not be used in any other way than what is reasonably necessary to decide if you want to keep the product(s). If you do not comply with the foregoing and the value of the product diminishes as a consequence thereof, we can hold you liable for such diminished value.
Please make sure that you do not have returns from multiple orders in one parcel to ensure that you get your refund as quickly as possible.
The following products may not be returned: personalized items and (partially) used gift cards. Due to hygiene reasons, underwear or swimwear and perfumes and make-up may not be returned unless in original sealed wrapping completely intact.
Your legal right of withdrawal
You have the right to withdraw from the agreement within 14 calendar days without giving any reason (legal withdrawal). This 14-day period commences on the day that you or a third party designated by you received the product. If you have ordered several products within one order, which were delivered separately, the period of 14 days starts from the moment you received the last product.
To exercise this right, you must notify us of your decision to withdraw from the agreement by contacting us. You may use our model form, but this is not mandatory.
If you withdraw from the agreement, the following applies.
(a) You will receive all payments related to your order that you have made up to that point without undue delay and no later than 14 calendar days after we have received your revocation statement. Unless otherwise expressly communicated, shipping costs are included with the exception of any costs resulting from your choice of a shipping method other than the standard shipping offered by us. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the products back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the products, whichever is the earliest.
(b) We will refund you via the same payment method as you used to perform the original transaction. Once the products returned by you have been checked and inspected, you will receive an email confirmation in the event of a refund.
(c) Refunds usually take 8-14 business days to appear on your statement. The length of time depends on the policy of your bank. You can always check your refund status on your online account or by contacting your bank.
(d) You must return the products to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you notified us of the revocation of the agreement. You can return the product by using the return label and handing the package over to the post office or the carrier. Only if indicated by the Store Locator that Return in Store service is available in the store, it is also possible to return the items in one of our Stores. You shall bear the risk of the products until we have received them.
Additional contractual return right
In addition to your legal right to withdraw from the agreement, we offer you an additional 46-calendar day period to return the products. The period starts after your statutory right of withdrawal has expired. This means that you can return products up to 60 calendar days from the day of receipt of your products. If you have ordered several products with one order that are delivered separately, the 60-calendar day period starts from the moment you receive the last product. The above clauses regarding your legal right of withdrawal as mentioned under (a), (b), (c) and (d) apply also in case you use your contractual right of withdrawal.
Return in case of defective products
If the delivered products contain obvious material or manufacturing defects, including damage as a result of transport, we request that you report these defects to our Customer Service immediately by telephone or email. You can return items received by you if they are defective, incorrectly described or otherwise not in accordance with your order. You can do this within two years after you have received your order and by using the return label and delivering the package to the post office or the carrier. If your reason for return is well-founded, the purchase price and the shipping costs (if applicable) are refundable. The foregoing is without prejudice to your statutory rights in case of non-conformity.
We moreover remind you that under Dutch and EU law, the delivered products must comply with the agreement, we are liable towards you for any lack of conformity and that you have several statutory rights in this context, providing that you complain within a reasonable time after discovery of the defect. After your complaint, a limitation period of two years in respect of your rights begins. The foregoing does not limit the statutory rights in any way.
13. Can you exchange products?
It is not possible to exchange products. You can return any product that you are not fully satisfied with and receive a refund, in the way described in these Conditions. If you would like another product, color or size, please place a new order.
14. What law applies to the agreement including these Conditions and which court can I go to?
The agreement including these Conditions is governed by the laws of the Netherlands, but excluding the Vienna Convention for the International Sale of Goods. This choice of law does not deprive you of the protection you may have by provisions that cannot be derogated from by agreement by virtue of the law of the country in which you live, providing that we sell our products in this country.
The competent court in Amsterdam, the Netherlands shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute in connection with these Conditions, which means that you may bring a claim to enforce your consumer protection rights in connection with these general terms and conditions in Amsterdam In the event that we decide to commence proceedings against you before the court in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, you have the right, within one month after we have notified you in writing, to inform us that you opt for resolution of the dispute by the court with jurisdiction under the law.

We will also collect data on the usage of your vouchers (e.g., validity and amount) or gift cards.

During the purchasing process, you will be presented with the option to set up a personal account.

We only use your data for this purpose if you have given your consent to set up a personal account.
You can also create an account by signing up to our website via a (social media) provider. This is called a social login. When using a social login, we receive information about you through the relevant (social media) provider. This information only includes your full name and email address and is collected by us in order to perform our contract with you and create an account for you. More information about the data collection through the use of a social login can be found in article 3.
In our store, depending on whether you are a consumer, we collect your name, address and other relevant personal details if this is needed to comply by local fiscal and legal requirements. We may need this information to be able to provide you with a refund or a fiscal receipt (VAT receipt). If you have opted in to receive an e-receipt, we will process your e-mail address. This data is collected via our point of sale terminal in the store.
In addition, some of our stores offer the opportunity to collect or return your items ordered online in one of our selected stores. In order to provide these services to you we will process your personal data such as your email address to send you information about your order. For example, when your order is ready to be collected. Furthermore, our store associates will register whether you have collected or returned an order.

Depending on the local legal requirements, the data is stored for two to four weeks from the time of your visit. Then they will be deleted.
2.1.2. CCTV usage
To contribute to the safety and security of our stores, we may have a CCTV system in operation. The CCTV cameras may be placed in public areas of our stores and will capture images in real time. The CCTV system helps us to secure and protect our stores, our store associates and customers, and products located or stored on store premises. The CCTV system also helps us to prevent, detect and investigate theft of our products or threats to the safety of our store associates or customers.
We process the CCTV footage to serve our legitimate business interest to protect our store premises and store associates, and to prevent, detect, and investigate incidents. The CCTV footage is generally kept for a maximum of 30 days from the time of recording before it is automatically overwritten or deleted, unless an incident has been recorded. In such cases, such footage may be kept until the incident has been dealt with or resolved, or longer as required or allowed under applicable laws.
2.1.3. Customer service and other requests
We also collect data to answer your queries on the phone, via post, via email or online via a chatbot or online form or via live-chat functionality. In such case we will only ask you to provide the data necessary to handle your request (to manage our contractual relationship with you and/or to comply with a legal obligation). For example, if you contact us regarding item return, we may ask you for purchase date and location, or information about your decision to return.
