We only use your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US

5.1 Our shopping pages will guide you through the steps you need to take to place an order with us. Our order process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your order to us. After you place an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. However, please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Our acceptance of your order will take place as described in clause 5.2.

5.2 We will confirm our acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Products have been dispatched (Dispatch Confirmation). The Contract between us will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.

5.3 If we are unable to supply you with a Product, for example because that Product is not in stock or no longer available or because we cannot meet your requested delivery date or because of an error in the price on our site as referred to in clause 10.6, we will inform you of this by e-mail and we will not process your order. If you have already paid for the Products, we will refund you the full amount including any delivery costs charged as soon as possible.

OUR RIGHT TO VARY THESE TERMS

6.1 We amend these Terms from time to time. Please look at the top of this page to see when these Terms were last updated, and which Terms were changed. Every time you order Products from us, the Terms in force at the time of your order will apply to the Contract between you and us.

6.2 If we must revise these Terms as they apply to your order, we will contact you to give you reasonable advance notice of the changes and let you know how to cancel the Contract if you are not happy with the changes. If you opt to cancel, you will have to return (at our cost) any relevant Products you have already received and we will arrange a full refund of the price you have paid, including any delivery charges.

YOUR CONSUMER RIGHT OF RETURN AND REFUND

7.1 If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract during the period set out below in clause 7.2. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep a Product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

7.2 However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of:

(a) Non-regular stock items such as dropship items; (b) Hats, wigs, hair accessories and foot accessories; (c) Face Masks; (d) Items where the costume bag, packaging or the label inside the garment has been marked or labelled in any way; (f) Underwear where the hygiene seal is not intact, or any labels have been broken. This includes bras, briefs, thongs, bra straps, body stockings, undergarments/body liners, dance supports/dance belts, foot thongs, socks and ToeSox. This is due to hygiene reasons; (g) Toiletries including make-up and brushes which are unsealed after delivery. This is due to hygiene reasons. (h) Where a product has a hygiene sticker warning that the product cannot be returned once the sticker is removed, a refund or exchange will not be given if the seal is broken except in accordance with legal rights; (i) Items which have been returned without the included accessories (j) Items which have been worn or washed

7.3 Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation (the date on which we e-mail you to confirm our acceptance of your order), which is when the Contract between us is formed. Your deadline for cancelling the Contract then depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered, as set out in the table below:

Your Contract	End of the cancellation period
Your Contract is for a single product.	The end date is the end of 28 days after the day on which you receive the Product.
Your Contract is for multiple products which are delivered on separate days.	The end date is 28 days after the day on which you receive the last of the separate products ordered.

7.4 To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know as set out in clause ‎1.2 above

7.5 If you cancel your Contract we will:

(a)refund you the price you paid for the products once we have received them back. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop.

(b) refund any delivery costs you have paid, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a Product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the Product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

(i) if you have received the Product and we have not offered to collect it from you: 14 days after the day on which we receive the Product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Product back to us. For information about how to return a Product to us, see clause 7.7;

(ii) if you have not received the Product or received it and we have offered to collect it from you: 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.

7.6 If you have returned the Products to us under this clause 7 because they are faulty or mis-described, we will refund the price of the Products in full, together with any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us. We will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay.

7.7 If a Product has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract:

(a) then you must return it to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the Contract.

(b) unless the Product is faulty or not as described (in this case, see clause 7.6), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Products to us;

And in each case you can send the Products back by post or contact us for further advice.

7.8 Because you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with this Contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this clause 7 or anything else in these Terms. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

7.9 All returns should be sent to the following address:

Dance Direct c/o International Dance Supplies, 7 Silverhills Road, Decoy Industrial Estate, Newton Abbot TQ12 5ND, United Kingdom

DELIVERY

8.1 We will provide an estimated delivery date upon checkout. We will e-mail you to confirm our confirmation of your order and we will endeavour to meet the estimated delivery date given. Occasionally our delivery to you may be affected by an event outside our control. If this happens, and the delay is significant, we will inform you and you will have the right to cancel.

8.2 Delivery of an Order shall be completed when we deliver the Products to the address you gave us, and the Products will be your responsibility from that time.

8.3 You own the Products once we have received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges.

8.4 If we miss the estimated Delivery date for any Products then you may cancel your Order straight away if any of the following apply:

(a) we have refused to deliver the Products;

(b) delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or

8.5 If you do choose to cancel your Order for late delivery under clause 8.1 or clause 8.4, you can do so for just some of the Products or all of them. If the Products have been delivered to you, you will have to return them to us or allow us to collect them, and we will pay the costs of this. After you cancel your order, we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled Products and their delivery.

8.6 It is your responsibility ensure the correct delivery address is entered when placing an order. If a parcel fails to arrive due to an incorrect or incomplete address, we can only process a refund for the goods if the parcel is returned to us.

8.7 We may dispatch some of your items in multiple parcels.

INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY

9.1 We deliver to the countries listed on the website (International Delivery Destinations). However, there are restrictions on some Products for certain International Delivery Destinations, so please review the information on that page carefully before ordering Products.

Please note that Dance Direct cannot be liable for any local import duties and taxes imposed.

9.4 If you return Products to us, please mark them as "Goods returned to the UK". Any charges arising from a failure to do this will be passed back to you and deducted from any credit.

PRICE OF PRODUCTS AND DELIVERY CHARGES

10.1 The prices of the Products will be as quoted on our site at the time you submit your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However please see clause 10.6 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of Product(s) you ordered.

10.2 Prices for our Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order you have already placed.

10.3 All prices on our website are now shown inclusive of VAT. The price of a Product purchased with a DAP service does not include VAT and VAT will be refunded to you after you place your order if you do not choose the DDP option. However, VAT may accrue once the shipment arrives in your country.

The price of a Product purchased with a DDP service excludes VAT but VAT will be calculated in your customs fees (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable for the time being. We are registered for VAT as follows:

10.4 The price of a Product does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are as advised to you during the check-out process before you confirm your order. To check relevant delivery charges, please refer to our Delivery Charges page.

10.5 Our site contains a large number of Products. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products on our site may be incorrectly priced. If we discover an error in the price of the Products you have ordered, we will contact you to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. Please note that if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.

OUR WARRANTY FOR THE PRODUCTS

Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is an obvious consequence of our breach or if it was contemplated by you and us at the time we entered into this contract. For the avoidance of doubt, we are not responsible for any loss or damage you suffer as a result of not using the Products in line with the manufacturer's recommendations or as a result of using the Products for any purpose which they were not intended to be used for.
