Converse Terms Of Sale
Please read these TERMS of Sale carefully before ordering Products online from THe CONVERSE PLATFORM. Please note that these terms of sale APPLY TO YOUR USE OF THE CONVERSE PLATFORM IN THE UNITED STATES ONLY AND include the ADDITIONAL TERMS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE.
APPLICABILITY
You are reading these Terms of Sale (“Terms of Sale”) because you are using a Converse website, digital experience, social media platform, mobile app, or one of our other products or services, all of which are part of Converse’s Platform (“Platform”). These Terms of Sale create a legally binding agreement between you and Converse and its affiliates (which we may refer to as “Converse,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) regarding orders placed for products available on the Platform. Converse may revise these Terms of Sale without notice by posting revised Terms of Sale on its Platform. The Terms of Sale posted on the Platform at the time you place your order on the Platform will govern that purchase. Please read these terms carefully and check that the details of your order are complete and accurate before submitting your order. If you think that there is a mistake, please contact us. Converse’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy are incorporated herein by this reference.
PLACING ORDERS ON THE PLATFORM
ELIGIBILITY TO ORDER
To place an order on the Platform, you must be of legal age in your jurisdiction of residence and a consumer - not a reseller.
NO PURCHASE FOR RESALE
The Platform is intended solely for Converse to sell Converse products directly to end consumers, and therefore purchase of products for resale is strictly prohibited. Purchase for resale means the purchase of a Converse product by someone who resells, or intends to resell, the Converse product to others (consumers, businesses or any third party). If Converse believes you are involved in purchase for resale, Converse reserves the right to take any action against you, including, without limitation, to restrict sales to you, cancel your orders, and/or suspend or close your account.
HOW TO ORDER
You need an email address to place an order, and you may need to set your browser to accept both (functional) cookies and pop-ups in order to be able to use all the functionalities of the Platform, which includes designing customized items, adding items to your shopping cart, and submitting your order.
When you submit an order, we will send you an email acknowledging receipt of your order. Our acceptance of the order takes place when the products are shipped to you - we will send you an email confirming that the products have been shipped (“Order Confirmation”). At this point a contract, containing these Terms of Sale, comes into existence and is binding on you and us (the “Contract”). We recommend that you print or download a copy of these Terms of Sale and the relevant Order Confirmation for future reference. If we are unable to supply you with a product, we will inform you of this in writing and will not process the order.
Once your order is placed, you can check on its status at any time using the Order Status link on Converse.com. Use your order number (which can be found in your confirmation email), email address and billing zip code to sign into Converse.com for up-to-date info on where your order is in the process. When your order ships, we’ll send you a shipping confirmation email with tracking information – so you can follow your shipment every step of the way. If you have a Converse Account and were logged in when you placed your order, the order information will appear within your order history in Your Account.
OUR RIGHT TO REJECT YOUR ORDER OR CANCEL A CONTRACT
Fulfillment of all orders on the Platform is subject to availability. We explicitly reserve the right not to accept your order for any reason. We also reserve the right to cancel a Contract by written notice to you in the following situations, without being liable for any damage or costs other than repayment of any amount received from you in relation to the Contract we cancelled:
• the product is not available or in stock;
• your billing information is not correct or not verifiable;
• your order is flagged by our security systems as an unusual order or an order susceptible to fraud;
• we believe you are under the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence;
• we believe that you are a reseller;
• there was an error in the price displayed on the Platform;
• we could not deliver to the address provided by you;
• due to an Event Outside Our Control (see below); or
• in the event of misspelling, pricing or other errors or mistakes in the Platform information.
DATA CHECK
When you submit your order, we may run some checks on it before it is fulfilled. These checks may include verifying your address and checking for fraud. 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 Platform will be investigated and if necessary prosecuted.
TITLE TRANSFER
The risk of loss and title for products purchased from Converse pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier.
PRICE/PAYMENT
PAYMENT METHODS
You can find the available payment methods in the Payment Options section of the Platform. We do not accept any method of payment other than those listed in this section.
PAYMENT PROCESSING
Except with respect to pre-ordered or custom products, if you pay by credit/debit card, we will deduct the amount due from your account as soon as your order leaves our warehouse. Payments can only be processed if the billing information can be verified.
PRICES AND CURRENCY
The product prices displayed on the Platform are in United States dollars and the order total will include sales tax, as applicable. Shipping rates are applied per order. Because sales tax rates and rules vary by state and local jurisdiction, we apply sales taxes based on the shipping destination of your order. You’ll see the estimated taxes in your cart during checkout, and exact taxes will be calculated and charged at the time of shipping.
YOUR TOTAL PRICE
The total price specified in the final check-out screen includes tax and shipping costs. This price will be recorded in the Order Confirmation, which we recommend you print or download for future reference. If paying by credit card, the total amount for your entire order will be reflected on your statement.
PRICE CHANGES
The prices of the products will be as displayed on the Platform. Prices may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order which we have confirmed in an Order Confirmation.
PROMOTIONS
Promotional codes are limited in nature, void where prohibited, and may expire or discontinue with or without notice. Promotional codes may not be copied, sold, or applied to prior or future purchases. They are not redeemable for cash and are subject to cancellation or change at any time for any reason. Items eligible for promotional discounts may be limited to stock on hand.
SHIPPING & DELIVERY
DELIVERY – WHERE AND WHEN
Please refer to the Shipping & Delivery section of the Platform for dates and the available delivery times and methods.
SPLIT DELIVERY
When possible, we try to deliver all items which you have ordered at the same time. However, please note that an order for customized products may result in split shipments. We reserve the right to split the delivery of your order, for instance if part of your order is delayed. In the event that we split your order, we will notify you of our intention to do so by sending you an e-mail to the e-mail address provided by you at the time your order was placed. You will not be charged for any additional delivery costs.
INSPECTION UPON DELIVERY
Upon delivery, please inspect the packaging for damage. If it appears that the products are damaged, please do not accept the shipment and contact Customer Service immediately.
SHIPPING RATES
Free standard shipping is available for all orders over $50.00, or for all orders placed by Converse.com members. See the Shipping & Delivery section of the Platform for additional delivery rates for standard and expedited shipping.
RETURNS & CANCELLATIONS
CANCELLING ORDER BEFORE DELIVERY
We do try to process all orders as quickly as possible, but we might be able to help if the order has not been shipped. Please check the status of your order first by visiting the "Order status" link at the top right of the Platform. If the status of your order is "Pending" or "On Hold" you may cancel your order by contacting our customer service. Our customer service agents will request a cancellation of your order at our warehouse. If successful, they will send you an email and the cancellation will be free of charge. If we’re unable to cancel your order, it will ship as scheduled. But don’t worry – you can return it for any reason within 30 days, free of charge. See details below.
RETURNING ORDERS AFTER DELIVERY
Whether you buy online or in-store, you may return your Converse.com purchase for any reason for a refund or exchange within 30 days of the date of delivery. After 30 days, Converse product must be unused, unworn, unwashed, and untreated to receive a refund or exchange. For in-store purchases, bring back your Converse products with your receipt for a full refund to the original form of payment. Converse product purchased from another authorized retailer or vendor cannot be returned to Converse.com or a Converse retail store.
For online purchases, Converse.com offers free returns within the continental U.S. Just use the return label included in your shipment. If your order did not include a return label or if you’ve misplaced or discarded the label, you can get a new one in a couple of ways:
- Simply enter your order number in the Order Status window.
- Contact our Customer Service Team.
- Or, you can always return your items to your nearest Converse store.
We stand behind our products. If your Converse products contain a defect not caused by normal wear and tear, we want to know about it and more importantly, get you back in the game. If it's been longer than 30 days since your purchase was delivered, contact the Customer Service Team to discuss your options. You may also have other rights that vary from state to state.
REFUND INFORMATION
After we receive and process your return, we’ll send you a confirmation email and process your refund to your original form of payment within two business days. Please note that it may take up to 10 additional business days for your payment method to reflect the refund. Gift cards purchased on Converse.com are not refundable. See additional Refund information here.
EVENTS OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL
An Event Outside Our Control means any act or event beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, strike, lock-out or other industrial action by third parties, civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war, fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic or other natural disaster, or failure of public or private telecommunications networks.
If an Event Outside Our Control takes place that affects the performance of our obligations under these Terms of Sale:
a) We will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to notify you; and
b) Our obligations under these general conditions will be suspended and the time for performance of our obligations will be extended for the duration of the Event Outside Our Control.
If the Event Outside Our Control affects our delivery of a product to you, we will arrange a new delivery date with you after the Event Outside Our Control is over. In many circumstances, you may cancel the Contract if an Event Outside Our Control takes place and you no longer wish us to provide the products. Please see your cancellation rights under the Cancellations section above.
OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS
We may transfer our rights and obligations under a Contract to another organization, but this transfer will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms of Sale.
You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms of Sale to another person if we agree in writing.
Each of the paragraphs of this Terms of Sale operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms of Sale, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations.
If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you. We will not file a copy of the Contract between us.
