Products

The Products are owned and sold on the Website by Proenza Schouler.  Proenza Schouler attempts to be as accurate as possible in the description of the Products. However, we cannot guarantee that any descriptions are totally accurate, complete, reliable or error-free. The images of the Products on the Website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we attempt to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that your computer's display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the Products. 

The Products sold are supplied for your domestic and private use only. You agree that you will not use the Products for any commercial, business or re-sale purposes. Proenza Schouler has the right to refuse or cancel orders that exceed a quantity of five (5) of the same item per Client. We reserve the right to refuse orders for any reason without explanation. Neither Proenza Schouler nor Farfetch has any liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity. 
 

Products may be ordered by clicking on the items you wish to purchase and then following the prompts that will appear on-screen. You may check and correct any input errors in your order up until the point at which you submit your order to us by clicking the "Place Order" button on the checkout page.

After placing an order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order and giving you an order reference number. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us. We are not obliged to accept your order and may, at our discretion, decline to accept any order. You do, however, acknowledge that by clicking on the “Place Order” button, you enter into an obligation to pay for the Product(s). Where we accept your order, we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an email that confirms that the Product has been shipped (Ship Confirmation). The contract between you and us in relation to the Product(s) ordered (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Ship Confirmation. After entering into the Contract, we will be under a legal duty to supply you with goods that are in conformity with the Contract.
 
The Contract will relate only to the Product(s) whose shipping we have confirmed in the Ship Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Product(s) which may have been part of your order until the shipping of such Product(s) has been confirmed in a separate Ship Confirmation. 

The health and safety of our community is our top priority. We are following the guidelines of the World Health Organization and all competent authorities and constantly ensure that hygiene and sanitary standards are respected. As a result, our shipping locations are operating with limited capacity and this could generate minor delays. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contract our customer service team.

Pre-order Items:
All items are available to ship unless it is a pre-order item. Customers will be placed on a priority waiting list for pre-order items. All pre-order items have an estimated ship date, which indicates the date that the item will ship out from the warehouse, but these items may arrive sooner or later than specified. Credit cards are charged at the time of the pre-order, subject to our usual fraud checks. Estimated shipping date is published online. Proenza Schouler is not liable for delays, cancellations or changes to pre-ordered items made during production. If a pre-ordered item will not ship out by the estimated shipping date, the customer will be notified and, at the customer’s election, either refunded in full or provided with an updated estimated shipping date. If an order includes both available and pre-ordered items, at least two separate deliveries will be most likely made to the customer.

Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Ship Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 30 days after the date of the Ship Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances. 

Your order will be delivered to the delivery address you specify when placing your order.

If your delivery address is geographically remote, for example certain outlying islands or other isolated locations, it is possible that we may not be able to deliver there. If that is the case, we will notify you before we accept your order. We reserve the right not to deliver to any country/region that is prohibited by applicable export laws. Orders cannot be delivered to PO Box or similar addresses. 

Products comprised within the same order cannot be delivered to different addresses. If you would like to ship to different addresses, please place separate orders for each destination address.

Deliveries are made by our trusted courier and take place on Monday to Friday (or other normal working week days in countries/regions that do not follow a Western pattern of working week), excluding bank and public holidays, usually within the hours of 8am and 5pm. It is not possible to specify a precise time at which a delivery will take place. Please note that the courier may require deliveries to be signed for. By opting out of the signature requirement, redirecting the delivery to a neighbor, reception, or security, rescheduling the delivery, redirecting it to a nearby collection point, or in the event that our delivery partner leaves your package outside, or if you choose any of the optional services (including any preferences you may have selected with our delivery partner separately), you acknowledge and agree that Proenza Schouler will not be held responsible or liable for any resulting loss or damage.

If you order Product(s) for international delivery, they may be opened and inspected by customs authorities and may be subject to import duties and taxes which are levied when the delivery reaches the specified destination. You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please note that we have no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order. In the event that you return an item, the import duties will be refunded if they were originally included in the purchase price. If they were not included then you will responsible for reclaiming duty directly from your local customs office.

Please also note that you must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country/region for which the Product(s) are destined. We will not be liable for any breach by you of any such laws.
 

The Product(s) ordered will be at your risk from the time of delivery or collection (as the case may be). Ownership of the Product(s) ordered will also pass to you on delivery or collection (as the case may be), provided full payment of all sums due in respect of the Product(s), including any delivery charges, has been received.

The price of Products is as quoted on the Site from time to time.
 
If you are shipping to US, prices do not include sales tax and delivery costs, both of which will be automatically added (at the cost shown) to the total amount due when you view the items in your shopping bag, and have indicated your shipping address and selected your delivery method. 

If you are shipping to Europe, prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be automatically added (at the cost shown) to the total amount due when you view the items in your shopping bag, and have selected your delivery method.

Prices and delivery costs are liable to change at any time. The Site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on the Site may be incorrectly priced. Prices listed on product pages are for informational purposes only, and may be changed by Proenza Schouler at its own discretion without notice. We will normally verify prices as part of our Ship procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge you the lower amount. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on the Site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before Shipping the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection. In the event a product is listed at an incorrect price, Proenza Schouler has the right to refuse or cancel orders placed for the product listed at the incorrect price, regardless of whether the order has been confirmed or the customer card charged. If customer card has already been charged for the purchase and the order is canceled, Proenza Schouler will issue a refund on the customer card.

Payment for all orders must be made by credit card, debit card, virtual gift card, or store credit on the checkout page. We also accept Klarna, Paypal, Alipay, Sofort, iDeal where applicable.

You should be aware that online payment transactions are subject to validation checks by your card issuer and we are not responsible if your card issuer declines to authorise payment for any reason. We also carry out a standard pre-authorisation check on your payment card, and Products will not be shipped until this pre-authorisation check has been completed. Please note, it is possible that your card issuer may charge you an online handling fee or processing fee. We are not responsible for this.

From time to time we may run promotions where we issue discount codes. These can be used in part-payment of the price of Product(s) ordered online, subject to the terms and conditions under which they were issued (as indicated in our relevant promotion from which you got the code). Discount codes can only be used once, unless otherwise specified and only during the period of validity stated and only in respect of the relevant Product(s) stated. Discount codes cannot be redeemed for cash.

Returned Products must conform to our Returns Policy below.

You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the products while they are in your possession, and you must return them in the same condition in which you receive them (except to the extent reasonably necessary to examine them). This includes the following guidelines:

• Products should be returned unworn (other than to try them on), unwashed, unaltered, undamaged and unused with their original tags;
• Products must be returned in the original packaging, including any boxes, hangers. Any designer packaging such as authenticity cards, dust bags, and leather tags must also be returned as they are considered part of the product.
• Footwear and accessories must be returned unmarked and unscuffed in the original undamaged boxes provided and inside a protective shipping box; 
• If the Product comes with a security tag this should be left on;

If you fail to comply with the above obligations (including the conditions of return), the item will not comply with the Returns Policy. Rejected items will be sent back to the original shipping address without any refund being processed.

You cannot return or cancel a contract for the supply of any of the following Products:

• Sale items. All sale and markdown Products are final sale and may not be returned. 
• Any Products that have been autographed, personalised, monogrammed, or made to your own bespoke specifications(see Returns and refunds for customised Products below for more information);
• Jewelry;
• Any masks, masked turtlenecks, swimwear or lingerie for sanitary reasons;
• Fragrance, cosmetics, or beauty products; and
• Shipping and handling charges, unless item is damaged or we have shipped you an incorrect item.

Returns and refunds for customised Products

Proenza Schouler is not responsible for any spelling errors or mistakes entered by the customer during the ordering process. Due to the bespoke nature of our monogramming process, there may be small variations in the position of the monogram and therefore the monogrammed item you receive may differ slightly from the image or description on the website. Personalised Products, monogrammed, or bespoke Products are final sale, and not eligible for refunds. Please note, that personalised and/or customised Products may have a long lead in time before shipping, but payment will be taken at the time of or shortly after you submit your order and in advance of shipping.

At this time, we are unable to accept returns for online orders in store.

We recommend that you return Products in their original packaging to ensure the necessary protection when in transit. Instructions for the return of the Product(s) will be included with the delivery package.
