Orders

8. When placing an Order for the first time or when signing up to the JOSEPH Newsletter, a User may need to provide their name, postal address, email address, telephone number, age and gender (Information).

9. In registering, the User warrants that the Information is true and accurate in all respects, that the User is the person identified by the Information, that the User is eligible to buy from the Site.

10. The User accepts full responsibility for ensuring that the account password provided is unique and kept strictly confidential, and agrees to notify JOSEPH immediately if the User suspects any breach of security or unauthorised use of their account. Without prejudice to other rights and remedies which JOSEPH may seek to rely upon under these T&C, JOSEPH reserves the right to suspend a User's access to the Site if JOSEPH reasonably believes that such action is necessary for safeguarding the Site.

11. By entering payment details, the User represents and warrants that such details are complete and correct and that the billing address and the name correspond to the Information the Buyer has provided.

18. JOSEPH will send the Buyer a second email stating that the Order has been accepted and the Goods have been dispatched. This is an acceptance of the Order placed and therefore concludes the contract between JOSEPH and the Buyer (Contract). This second email is also referred to in these T&C as the Order Dispatch Confirmation.

However, this is for indication purposes only, and JOSEPH is not responsible for delays caused by elements beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to delays caused by carriers, customs or delays at ports as a result of a Brexit-related event or otherwise.

The Goods cannot be redelivered to a different delivery address. Following a second failed delivery attempt, if the Buyer does not call to arrange a redelivery within 7 days, the Goods will be sent back to JOSEPH and the Buyer shall be refunded in full.

41. The Buyer is responsible for ensuring that the delivery address provided is correct and complete. JOSEPH shall not be liable for unsuccessful delivery attempts resulting from the Buyer having provided inaccurate or incomplete information.

42. Where the Buyer makes an Order for multiple Goods ('multiple' meaning more than one), JOSEPH shall endeavour to deliver the Order in one conveyance, unless the Buyer has requested otherwise. However, JOSEPH shall be entitled to deliver the Goods in more than one conveyance if reasonably necessary, in which case each delivery shall be viewed as a separate Contract.

Basic delivery charges will only be refunded where an entire Order has been returned.

46. All Goods returned to JOSEPH must be undamaged and in saleable condition (unused), with their original packaging and with garment tags still attached. The Buyer is advised to contact JOSEPH customer services if any Goods are delivered without tags.
