This website is operated by Converse Netherlands B.V, a company registered under the laws of the Netherlands and with its registered address at Colosseum 1, 1213 NL, The Netherlands (collectively, "us", "we" or "Converse"). By accessing or using Converse's websites or digital services (collectively the "Website") you signify that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms of Use") and any other applicable law, whether or not you are a registered member of Converse. The Terms of Use (together with the documents referred to in them) tell you (i) the terms on which Converse supplies the products  listed on the Website including digital products (“Products”); and (ii) the terms of use of the Website. If you are between 16 and 18 years old, you must obtain your parent/guardian's permission to register for the Website, purchase Products from the Website and post User Generated Content (as described in Section B of these Terms of Use).

SECTION A: BUYING PRODUCTS FROM THE WEBSITE

2             Placing an order.

The Website shopping pages will guide you through the steps you need to take to place an order.  All orders placed through the Website constitute an offer to buy the Product are subject to Converse's acceptance. In order to place an order on our Website, you must be 16 years of age or older and be a consumer i.e. an individual acting outside his or her business and not a reseller. If you are between 16 and 18 years old, you must obtain your parent/guardian's permission to register for the Website, purchase Products from the Website and post User Generated Content (as described in Section B of these Terms of Use). If we discover that you have misled us or you misrepresent your age we shall be entitled to delete your account without warning, terminate the contract between us and/or to pursue any legal remedies that Converse may have.

You need an e-mail address to place an order, and you need to set your browser to accept both cookies and pop-ups in order to make full use of the Website, which includes designing items, adding items to your shopping cart and checking out from our stores.  You must also have Flash downloaded to design your own shoes.

Placing an order on the Websites is easy.

a)    Find the Product(s) you want

b)    Add the Product(s) to your shopping cart.

c)    Proceed to checkout.

d)    Select delivery and billing options.

e)    Review your order.

f)     Submit your order.

g)    Receive an online order confirmation (“Order Confirmation”).

Once we have received your order, an automated confirmation of receipt will be displayed on the Website. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted or that a contract has been made.  Converse will confirm acceptance to you by sending you an Order Confirmation by e-mail which confirms that Converse has accepted your order and that the Product is ready for or has been dispatched.  The contract between us (the “Contract”) will only be formed when Converse sends you the Order Confirmation. We strongly suggest that you print or download your Order Confirmation for future reference.

We explicitly reserve the right not to accept your order, for any or no reason. If your credit card has already been charged for an order that is later cancelled, Converse will issue you a refund.

The Order Confirmation will include the following information:

·                              description of the Product ordered;

·                              the price of the Product ordered (including delivery and any packaging charges), including all VAT and other taxes;

·                              confirmation of the arrangement for payment, delivery and performance of the order;

·                              details of your right to cancel the order and a model cancellation form;

·                              details of Converse’s legal duty to supply goods in conformity with the Terms of Use;

·                              Converse’s identity, address and contact details, and how you can complain; and

·                              any after-sales services and guarantees.

The Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch (or readiness for despatch) Converse confirms in the Order Confirmation.  Converse will not be obliged to supply the remaining Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Order Confirmation.

We also reserve the right to cancel any Contract in (amongst others) the following situations, without being liable for any damage or costs:

·                              the Product is not available / in stock (any payments already made will be refunded);

·                              your billing information is not correct or not verifiable;

·                              your order is flagged up by our security systems as an unusual order or an order susceptible to fraud;

·                              your bank transfer payment is not received within 12 calendar days after acceptance of your order;

·                              we have reason to believe you are under 16;

·                              we have reason to believe that you are a reseller;

·                              there was an error in the price quote;

·                              we could not deliver to the address provided by you.

3             Risk and Title

The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery.

Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when Converse receives full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges.

4             Data Check

When you send us your order, we may run some checks on it before it is fulfilled. These checks may include verifying your address, creditworthiness, and checking for fraud. As to the latter: we run partly automated checks on all purchases to filter out unusual or suspect transactions, or transactions which can be identified as susceptible to fraud. Suspected fraud on the Website will be investigated and if necessary prosecuted. By submitting your order, you agree to this.

5             Cancellations

As you are contracting as a consumer, you have a statutory right to cancel a Contract if you change your mind for any reason. The provisions below set out your legal right to cancel. Further advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

You may cancel the Contract at any time from the date of the Order Confirmation up to the end of the 14th day after the day of receipt of the Product by you or the person specified by you for delivery. If the Contract is for multiple Products which are delivered on separate days, you have until the end of the 14th day after the day of receipt of the last Product which is part of the order to cancel the Contract for any of the Products.

For example: if you receive an Order Confirmation on 1 January and you receive a Product on 10 January, you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January.

To cancel the Contract, you must inform us of your intention to cancel the Contract. The easiest way to do so is to complete the cancellation form available in the Schedule at the end of these Terms of Use which will also have been provided with the Order Confirmation.  If you use this method Converse will email you to confirm it has received your cancellation. Alternatively, you can email us at helpme.europe@converse.com.  If you send us your cancellation notice by email or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the email or post the letter to us.

If you exercise the right, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products in accordance with Converse’s refunds policy (set out below). When exercising the cancellation right, you must return the Products to us immediately (as set out below).

You are entitled to a reasonable opportunity to inspect the Products (which will include removing them from their packaging and trying them on).  At all times, you must take reasonable care of the Products and must not let them out of your possession.  If you are in breach of your obligations to take reasonable care in this paragraph, Converse will have a claim against you and may deduct from the refund costs incurred by us as a result of the breach.

Details of this statutory right, and an explanation of how to exercise it, are also provided in the Order Confirmation.  This provision does not affect your statutory rights.

The cancellation right described in this paragraph is in addition to any other right that you might have to reject the Products, for instance because they are faulty or misdescribed as set out in paragraph 6 below.

6             Returns

As explained above, orders for Bespoke Products cannot be cancelled. You are however entitled to return your order in accordance with the return procedures and conditions below.

Returning orders after delivery – defectives

You are entitled to return Products (including Bespoke Products) delivered to you in the event that they are defective or otherwise do not conform to the quantity, quality, standards or description shown on your Order Confirmation when you received them. You can do so within 6 months after you notice the defect. This does not affect your statutory rights. In the event your claim is justified, the purchase price and the shipping costs will be refunded without deduction. For practical information on how to return Products, visit our help section.

Returning orders after delivery – for any other reason

If you are for whatever reason not happy with the Products you ordered, you may return the Products delivered to you within thirty (30) calendar days after delivery, without giving us any reason, as long as:

·                              the Products are unwashed and not used in any way (you are allowed to try garments or shoes on for fit, unless we have indicated otherwise - but you cannot wear them);

·                              the Product is in its original, undamaged packaging (a carefully opened package will not be considered damaged);

·                              the Product is complete: e.g. both items of a pair must be returned;

·                              the Product has not been tampered with.

7             Our Refunds Policy

When you return a Product to Converse, a refund will be issued as follows: 

Right of Cancellation exercised: where you have validly returned a Product under your right of cancellation described in paragraph 5, Converse will refund the full amount paid by you for the Product, including the cost of delivery to you.  Please also note that Converse is permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the Product, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way contrary to the conditions specified in these terms or which would not be permitted in a shop. If Converse refunds you the price paid before it was able to inspect the Product and later discovers you have handled it in an unacceptable way, you must pay Converse an appropriate amount.

Defective Products: where you have validly returned a Product to Converse because it is defective or for some other reason for which Converse is responsible, Converse will inspect the Product and, where that Product is defective, either repair or replace the Product or, if not possible, refund the full amount paid by you for the Product together with any applicable delivery charges and the reasonable cost incurred by you in returning the Product.

Other returns: where you have returned a Product in circumstances other than as set out above (which includes rejecting a non-defective Product outside the cancellation period), any repair, replacement or refund (in that order) will be at Converse’s discretion. If Converse does agree to provide a repair, replacement or refund, Converse will not refund the cost of delivery to you and Converse will not reimburse the cost incurred by you in returning the Product.

Converse will process any refund due to you within the deadlines below:

  • if you have received the Product and Converse has not offered to collect it from you: 14 days after the day on which Converse receives 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; or
  • if you have not received the Product or you have received it and Converse has offered to collect it from you: 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.

Converse will refund you using the same means of payment that you used for the transaction.

Legal ownership of a Product will immediately revert to Converse if Converse refunds any such payment to you.

For practical information on how to return and for refund timelines, visit our help section. Please read the help section information and follow the directions carefully in order to prevent unnecessary delay

Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Order Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 30 days of the date of your order, unless there are exceptional circumstances. If a Product (or substitute product) is unavailable so that Converse cannot deliver it to you within 30 days of your order, Converse will contact you and either agree a later delivery date or permit you to cancel the Contract, in which case Converse will refund all monies paid in accordance with Converse’s refunds policy.

Shipping Information

Standard orders are shipped directly from our warehouse in Germany. Tracking is provided and will be sent to the email address you provided when you placed the order.

Our shipping method to Belgium is via BPost. We will not deliver to P.O., APO, or FPO Boxes.

If it appears that the Products are damaged, please do not accept the shipment. We will refund the purchase price and all delivery costs as soon as the warehouse has handled your return.

11           BESPOKE PRODUCTS

For most Bespoke Products, you can submit a combination of letters, spaces and numbers to form an ID – a personalized message that appears on your creation. While we honor most IDs, we cannot honor all of them. Some may contain trade marks or intellectual property rights of third parties, or the names of certain professional sports teams, athletes or celebrities that you (or Converse) does not have the right to use. Others may contain material that we consider inappropriate or simply do not want to place on our Products. Unfortunately, at times this means that we may decline IDs that may otherwise seem unobjectionable. If your ID is, in our sole opinion, unacceptable, your order may be immediately rejected or your purchase will be cancelled at a later stage – if so, you will be notified by e-mail. Converse reserves the right to reject any ID’s after they have been submitted to Converse.

12           Consumer acknowledgements relating to customiSation

Both your design of the Bespoke Product (the color combination etc) and the personalization shall be created by yourself, or, to the extent this is not the case, you hereby guarantee that you are authorised to use the design or the personalisation created by someone else.

Please understand that whilst we have the right to decline your personalisation or your design, you are solely responsible for your design and personalisation, and we have no obligation to review or decline your design and personalisation.

You agree that Converse will own all intellectual property rights in the design or personalisation of your Bespoke Products and/or ID. By submitting the design or personalisation of your Bespoke Products and/or ID to Converse, you transfer all intellectual property rights in the Bespoke Products and/or ID that automatically vest in you by operation of law to Converse. To the extent such transfer is not valid, you grant to Converse an exclusive, fully paid, perpetual, royalty free licence to use your design and personalization in the widest sense of the word, including but not limited to copy, edit, modify, publicly display, digitize, reproduce and distribute, and to sublicense (parts of) this right as we see fit.

You agree and understand that you shall have no claim against Converse or any other party in the event a design or personalization and/or ID similar to yours is used or designed. We expect you to follow the same rules in respect of the design or personalisation of your Bespoke Products and/or ID that apply to User Generated Content as set out in paragraph 16a below.

SECTION C: GENERAL

25           WEBSITE OWNER

This Site is controlled by Converse Netherlands B.V. from its offices in Colosseum 1, 1213 NL Hilversum, The Netherlands.

26           Severability

If any provision in these Terms of Use is held invalid, the remainder of these Terms of Use shall continue to be enforceable. If any provision in these Terms of Use is deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable, then that provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and the remaining provisions are still valid and enforceable.

27           WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS AND NOTICES

We will mainly communicate with each other electronically, such as by email.  Applicable laws may require that some of the information or communications Converse send to you should be in writing, for which purpose we both agree that electronic communications will suffice.  This paragraph does not affect your statutory rights.

All notices given by you must be given in writing and delivered by email.  Notices to you may be given to the email address or the invoice address provided when you placed your order.

28           EVENTS OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL

Neither of us shall be liable to the other for any delay or non performance of its respective obligations under the Terms of Use to the extent that performance is interrupted or prevented by any act or omission beyond its reasonable control.  This paragraph does not affect your statutory rights and in particular Converse’s obligation to perform the Contract within 30 days of order as set out in paragraph ‎10.

Such delay or non-performance will not be a breach of the Contract and the time for performance will be extended by the period during which performance is prevented. 

29           Variations

Converse may change these Terms of Use at any time without notice, effective upon its posting to the Website. You agree to review these Terms of Use regularly to make yourself aware of any changes.

In relation to Products, you will be subject to the policies and terms in force at the time that you order Products from us, unless any change to those policies or these terms is required to be made by law or governmental authority (in which case it will apply to orders previously placed by you), or if Converse notifies you of the change to those policies or these terms before Converse sends you the Order Confirmation (in which case Converse has the right to assume that you have accepted the change to the terms, unless you notify us to the contrary within seven working days of receipt by you of the Products).

30           WAIVER

If either of us does not insist upon strict performance of any of the other’s obligations under the Contract or any of these terms, or if either of us does not exercise any of the rights or remedies to which Converse is entitled under the Contract, this shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve the other of us from compliance.
