4.1.1 you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts; and
4.1.2 you are aged 18 or over.

Anyone caught deliberately entering an incorrect or fictitious name or using a card that is known to be invalid to place an order will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We may track every order placed on the Site to enable us, and all legitimate crime prevention and prosecution authorities, to trace individual users engaging in criminal activities on or using the Site.
5. 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. Please take the time to read and check your order at each page of the order process.
5.2 After you place an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. This will be sent to the email address you provide to us on placing your order and will detail the Goods ordered, payment method, the price (including VAT and postage and packaging), delivery address and estimated delivery times. You must check all the details and contact us as soon as possible if any details are incorrect.
5.3 Please note our acceptance of your order will take place when we send you an e-mail that confirms that the Goods have been despatched (“Despatch Confirmation”). The Contract between us will only be formed when we send you the Despatch Confirmation.
5.4 We may send you an email to say that we do not accept your order. This is typically for the following reasons:
5.4.1 the Goods are not available;
5.4.2 we cannot obtain authorisation of your payment;
5.4.3 you are not permitted to purchase the Goods in accordance with condition 4 above;
5.4.4 we are unable to meet your requested delivery date; or
5.4.5 there has been an error by us on the pricing or description of the Goods.
5.5 If we are unable to supply you with the Goods for any of the reasons listed above we will inform you of this and we will refund the price of the unavailable Goods in full within 3 to 5 working days.
6. CANCELLATION, REFUNDS AND RETURNS
Faulty Goods
6.1 If the Goods are faulty or mis-described, you may return such Goods and request a refund or replacement Goods up to 30 days following the date on which the Goods are delivered to you.
6.2 If you have returned the Goods to us under condition 6.1 because they are faulty or mis-described, we will:
6.2.1 refund the price of the Goods in full, together with any applicable delivery charges; and
6.2.2 refund any reasonable costs you incur in returning the Goods to us.
8. DELIVERY
8.1 Delivery is by DPD (next day service) at £5.99 or other delivery service providers appointed by us from time to time.
8.2 All delivery timescales are estimated timescales only. Goods will be sent to the address given by you in your order. We will not be held liable for failed deliveries where an incorrect address is provided when placing an order.
8.3 If you have contacted us to agree a reasonable delivery deadline and we miss the delivery deadline for any Goods then you may cancel your order straight away if any of the following apply:
8.3.1 we have refused to deliver the Goods (other than in accordance with condition 8.4);
8.3.2 delivery within a particular delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or
8.3.3 you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.
8.4 If you do not wish to cancel your order straight away, or do not have the right to do so under condition 8.3, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can cancel your order if we do not meet the new deadline.
8.5 If you do choose to cancel your order for late delivery under condition 8.3 or condition 8.4, you can do so for just some of the Goods or all of them, unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. If the Goods have been delivered to you, you will have to return them to us or allow us to collect them, and we will pay the cost of this. After you cancel your order we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled Goods and their delivery.
8.6 We may request that someone signs for your delivery. If no one is available at your address to take delivery, we will leave you a note to confirm our attempted delivery and to inform you of your options for redelivery or collection from a courier’s office.
8.7 We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under a Contract that is caused by an event outside our reasonable control.
8.8 Delivery of an order shall be completed when we deliver the Goods to the address you gave us and the Goods will be your responsibility from that time.
8.9 Ownership of the Goods will pass to you when we have received payment in full and in clear funds for the Goods.

8.11 If you require delivery outside of the UK please contact us at sales@newbalanceteam.co.uk and we will be able to provide you with international shipping costs.
9. PRICE OF GOODS AND DELIVERY CHARGES
9.1 The price of the Goods includes VAT (if applicable) at the current valid rate.
9.2 The prices of the Goods will be as quoted on the Site at the time you submit your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that prices are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However it is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Goods on the Site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our despatch procedures so that:
9.2.1 where the Goods' correct price is less than the price stated on the Site, we will charge the lower amount when despatching the Goods to you; and
9.2.2 if the Goods' correct price is higher than the price stated on the Site, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Goods at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.
9.3 Prices for our Goods may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order you have already placed.
9.4 The price of the Goods does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are as advised to you throughout the checkout process, before you confirm your order.

10.1 You can only pay for Goods using a Visa, MasterCard or American Express. Unfortunately we do not accept other forms of payment.
10.2 Payment for the Goods and all applicable delivery charges is in advance. We will charge your card at the time you place your order.
10.3 We will do all that we reasonably can to ensure that all of the information you give us when paying for the Goods is secure by using an encrypted secure payment mechanism. However, in the absence of negligence on our part we will not be legally responsible to you for any loss that you may suffer if a third party gains unauthorised access to any information that you give us.
10.4 All cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorise payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.
10.5 We reserve the right to reject a payment or order that we feel is at risk or could be fraudulent. In this instance the price will be refunded using the same payment method and you will be contacted and offered the opportunity to pay by another means or to cancel your order.
