4. RETURNS

You can only return to LONDON SOCK COMPANY products which have been purchased directly through this Website. If you purchased your LONDON SOCK COMPANY products at a retail store or from another websites the products must be returned to the original store or site which they were purchased from.

If for any reason you are not happy with your LONDON SOCK COMPANY products, please follow our returns procedure, so that we can assist you in the exchange or refund of your order. LONDON SOCK COMPANY reserves the right to reject the return of products which are not returned in accordance with our Returns Procedure and we may request that you pay for the shipping of such goods back to you. Our Returns Procedure does not affect your statutory rights.

4a. RETURNS OR EXCHANGES

You may return new, unworn or unused products which you wish to exchange or return within fourteen (14) days from the date on which the goods were shipped to you. Where you wish to exchange a product, please note that you will only be able to exchange with a product of the same or less value than the original item you wish to exchange.

Please note: your right to exchange or return products is separate from your statutory right to cancel your order under the Distance Selling Regulations (see below).

Delivery Costs

a) If you are returning goods for exchange or return, there may be additional delivery charges.

b) We will not refund the original delivery charge in the case of exchanges or returns.

Please note: you will only be reimbursed the original delivery charge where you exercise your statutory right to cancel your entire order within the 14 working day period beginning after the day of receipt of the goods under the Distance Selling Regulations, see Statutory Right to Cancel below.

c) You will not be liable for the delivery costs incurred by us in sending you any products as exchanges.

d) In the case of returns, you will only be refunded the value of the goods ordered.

e) We will only pay the return costs and subsequent re-delivery costs (if applicable) if the return is a result of our error or the goods are faulty.
This Returns Procedure does not affect your statutory right to cancel or any of your other statutory rights.

4b. STATUTORY RIGHT TO CANCEL

In addition to our Returns or Exchange Procedure, under the Distance Selling Regulations you also have seven (7) working days (beginning the day after receipt of the goods) to cancel your purchase order.

Delivery Costs

a) Where you exercise your statutory right to cancel, we will provide a full refund on the price paid for the goods. If you have cancelled your entire order, we will also refund your original delivery charge. If you only cancel part of your order and return only some of the goods delivered to you, delivery charges will not be refunded. This is because the delivery charge is normally the same regardless of the number of items delivered and, if you retain part of your order, the delivery charge still applies to the part that you retained.

b) Where you fail to return the product(s) in question or you send them at our expense, or if our appointed courier collects the goods from you, we reserve the right to charge you for the direct costs incurred by us in collecting or returning the goods (other than where the goods have been sent to you in error or where such goods are faulty in which case, such costs shall be at our expense).

Where you exercise your right to cancel within 7 (seven) working days, you should return the goods to us as soon as reasonably practicable. Please note: if we have provided any services as part of the purchase (e.g. products made to order or gift wrapping) and we have begun to provide these services before you have exercised your right to cancel, we shall not reimburse the costs of such services.

How do I exercise my statutory right to cancel?

In order to exercise your right to cancel, please send an email to [email protected]. Making it clear in your correspondence that you are giving notice to exercise your statutory right to cancel.

Your email or letter will be deemed to have been received by us on the date you send it (provided it is sent to the correct address and it is sufficiently clear that you are exercising your right to cancel). Please try and keep the confirmation of any letter or email to demonstrate the date when you sent it.

4c. CONDITIONS FOR ALL RETURNS, EXCHANGES OR STATUTORY RIGHT TO CANCEL

All goods must be returned to us unused, together with all original packaging (please note you have a duty to take reasonable care of returned goods and any refund may be withheld or a charge incurred if you fail to take such care and damage the goods).
