Orders

All orders are subject to acceptance and availability.

APLACE.COM offers products for sale that are in stock and available for dispatch from our distribution center. Occasionally, however, we may be waiting for shipments from our designer suppliers. Consequently you may from time to time be given the possibility of making an Advance Payment for certain. This will ensure that you receive this item in priority once designer stock has been delivered to APLACE.COM.

Customers making Advance Payments will receive items in priority to customers ordering through the Site for immediate delivery. Please be aware that we may be unable to deliver selected Advance Payment merchandise due to production problems or quality check issues identified when we receive an order into stock. In these circumstances we will notify you by email and refund the Advance Payment to your credit card within thirty days of being advised that merchandise has become unavailable.

Please note that items in your shopping basket are not reserved and may be purchased by other customers.

 

Pricing Policy

Prices shown on the Site are in EUROS and SEK and are inclusive of VAT at the applicable rate unless you have selected an alternative country where VAT is not chargeable (non EU).

All prices and offers remain valid as advertised from time to time. The price of a product displayed on the Site at the time the order is accepted will be honoured, except in cases of patent error.

Product prices are set at the beginning of each season using existing currency exchange rates. These prices are subject to change if the applicable currency exchange rate changes before your order is accepted or the items are subject to markdowns at any time during the selling period.

We recommend you contact your local customs authority to determine a landed cost price prior to purchase completion.

If you are a customer whose credit card is not denominated by our currencies, the final price will be calculated in accordance with the applicable exchange rate on the day your credit card company processes the transaction.

 

Acceptance of your order

Once you have made your choice and your order has been placed, you will receive an email acknowledging the details of your order. This email is NOT an acceptance of your order, just a confirmation that we have received it.
Unless you cancel your order, acceptance of your order and completion of the contract between you and APLACE.COM will be completed when we email you to confirm the goods have been dispatched.

We reserve the right not to accept your order in the event, for example, that we are unable to obtain authorization for payment, that shipping restrictions apply to a particular item, that the item ordered is out of stock or does not satisfy our quality control standards and is withdrawn, or that you do not meet the eligibility criteria set out within the TOC.

We may also refuse to process and therefore accept a transaction for any reason or refuse service to anyone at any time at our sole discretion. We will not be liable to you or any third party by reason of our withdrawing any merchandise from the Site whether or not that merchandise has been sold; removing, screening or editing any materials or content on the Site; refusing to process a transaction or unwinding or suspending any transaction after processing has begun.

 

Payment

Payment can be made by Visa, Visa Electron, MasterCard and Dankort debit cards and any other methods which may be clearly advertised on the Site from time to time. Payment will be debited and cleared from your account upon dispatch of your order by APLACE.COM. You confirm that the credit/debit card that is being used is yours or that you have been specifically authorised by the owner of the credit/debit card to use it. All credit/debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorise payment to APLACE.COM, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.
We take all reasonable care to make our Site secure. All transactions are handled by Dibs. Your credit card number is sent by an encrypted connection to your bank. Dibs secure server software (SSL) is an industry standard and one of the best software available for secure digital payments.

If your card is connected to UCAF / 3-D Secure, it will automatically be processed by Dibs UC3-D server.

Furthermore, we will take all reasonable care, in so far as it is in our power to do so, to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorized access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the Site.

 

Insurance and delivery

APLACE.COM insures each purchase during the time it is in transit until it is delivered to your specified delivery address. We require a signature for any goods delivered, at which point responsibility for your purchased goods passes to you. If you have specified a recipient who is not you for delivery purposes (for example as a gift) then you accept that evidence of a signature by them (or at that delivery address) is evidence of delivery and fulfillment by APLACE.COM and transfer of responsibility in the same way. Please note that we aim to dispatch all orders within 48 hours. Estimated delivery times are to be used as a guide only and commence from the date of dispatch, APLACE.COM are not responsible for any delays caused by destination customs clearance processes.

APLACE.COM will store a record of your transactions for a minimum of one year.

 

Returns and exchanges

You may, for a full refund or exchange, return the goods to us by any secure means within 14 days from receiving the goods.

When you return or exchange garments, you have to cover the shipping charges. You also take responsibility for any items lost during shipping when exchanging or returning product.

 

Receiving a refund

Your refund will be credited to the original purchaser’s credit card.

If your order has been sent to a destination within the EU, all VAT will be refunded. Outside the EU, customs duties and sales taxes are non-refundable through APLACE.COM. However, you may be able to recover these by contacting your local customs bureau directly. Exchanges made to destinations outside of the EU will be submitted to the same customs procedures, therefore applicable for duty and tax again.

We recommend that you send all items you wish to return from an order in the same shipment to ensure your return is processed as quickly as possible.
Items should be returned in their original packaging to ensure they are adequately protected in transit. Shoe boxes should also be returned in the original outer packaging in order to ensure they are protected from damage, shoe boxes are considered part of the product, and your return may not be accepted if the box is damaged.

 

Our policy

Items should be returned unused, and with all APLACE.COM and designer garment tags still attached. Returns that are damaged or soiled may not be accepted and may be sent back to the customer and/or a refund refused.
