exceptional return

For any requested refund, or any dispute whatsoever, please refer to the paragraph titled ‘DISPUTE RESOLUTION’ in these terms and conditions.

If for a reason relating to the quality only of the Items received, the Renter or Borrower is unhappy with their transaction through the Website or Mobile App, the Renter must notify the Lender or Owner immediately upon receipt. Where the Renter or Borrower receives the Items from the Lender, the Renter must refuse the Items immediately if they are unhappy with their quailty. The Renter will not be able to make a return pursuant to this clause if they accept the Items, or be seen as having accepted the Items, or do nothing.

Where the Renter chooses for the Items to be delivered and the Items do not match those ordered or are faulty to the extent that they cannot be worn, the Renter must notify the Lender within 2 Hours of receipt.

To return Items, the Renter must follow the instructions that are supplied with this Site or with the Order and return any disputed Items immediately upon receiving them. In circumstances where the Items are not faulty and they correspond to the Order, the Renter is not entitled to any refund, exchange or credit note.

The Renter shall pay for the costs of delivery or any other associated costs when returning the Items.

On an Exceptional Return, all Items must be returned with their delivery note to the Lender. You must not send returned Items to Us.

If, due to a fault a Refund is payable, refunds will only be credited to the original payment method used. Save for when the Items are faulty or clearly not fit for purpose, and the dispute resolution process has firstly been followed, the refund does not include any shipping or handling costs or administration fees charged for use of a credit card.

We strongly advise You to send all returned Items in a secure manner as advised to you from time to time. Any returned Items must be insured for the full amount of the sum paid and signed for on delivery.

Neither us nor the Lender shall be responsible for any lost or damaged Items. Therefore, You are advised to retain the proof of postage certificate for any Items returned.

On an Exceptional Return, where You decide that You will not use any Items that You have ordered, postal costs for returned Items will be Your responsibility, and you must notify the Lender immediately upon receipt of the item, and then adhere to the dispute resolution process contained in these Terms and Conditions.

If a refund is determined payable, we will credit the Renter’s credit/debit card for the sum paid in due course, at our discretion, minus any associated costs, for example such as postage and our Service Fees. If the Renter’s funds have already been paid by us to the Lender, then the Lender will refund the Renter or be directed by Us to refund the Renter direct. You agree not to dispute or cause any dispute in relation to the refund to the Renter.

If you are a Lender, you agree, that if it has been determined by Us that a refund is payable to the Renter, then, if you have not already been paid by Us, you authorize us to refund the rental fees and any other applicable fees to the Renter on Ours or Your behalf (less any applicable service fees and associated costs as determined by Us). If the amount that we hold on account for you does not cover all of these costs payable to the Renter, then you authorize us to withhold future monies held on account for you, or to seek recovery of any monies or associated costs, at our discretion, from you.

If you are a Lender, you agree, that if it has been determined that a refund is payable to the Renter, and, if you have already been paid for your rental fees by Us, then you are responsible to refund the Renter if so directed by Us, and if necessary at our discretion, you authorize us, to claim any outstanding monies plus recovery costs or any associated damages, on behalf of Us or the Renter, against you.

late fees

If you are a Renter, and you do not return your dress by the designated return date, you will be liable for late fees. Late fees are either calculated daily, pro-rata to your rental fees or calculated to be the full rental fee of a minimum rental period, at our discretion. Late fees are also subject to a Lender’s own rules, which are provided to you prior to booking a clothing item.
You authorize Us to charge your credit or debit card late fees if applicable, which may be deducted from any Security Deposit, if applicable.

damaged or missing designer clothes

If you are a Renter, you agree, that you are liable, from the time the dress item is dispatched for delivery until it is return to the custody of the lender, for any damage that is caused to the designer clothing item, or if the item is misplaced, missing or stolen. If you are a Renter, and the dress is damaged in any way, or becomes misplaced, missing, stolen, or not returned satisfactorily, at our discretion, to the Lender or to any location nominated by Us, you authorize Us to charge your credit or debit card, or commence legal recovery from you, for the full recommended retail price or replacement price, as determined by Us, either or both of which, was provided to you, prior to your booking. If applicable, you authorize us at our discretion, to apply your security deposit (if any) for any dress damage, or for any repair, or for any insurance excess payable (if any), or for any other costs associated with the clothing damage. If a security deposit has not been provided by you, or if your security deposit or credit card does not cover all the costs related to the dress damage, then you authorize us to commence recovery, or take any action whatsoever, for any such outstanding costs and any applicable damages, plus any administrative costs, and interest, against You. If we form the view that the dress has been stolen or fraudulently obtained, then you as a Renter acknowledge that we may involve Government authorities against You.

If you are a Lender, you agree that although we may carry out security measures for a Rental Booking and use our best endeavours for recovery, we cannot ultimately guarantee the recovery of your Designer Clothing or it’s cost and any related costs or damage, in the event that it is damaged or missing.
