Website Terms & Conditions

 

Contract of Service

A contract between the customer and British Shoe Company will only exist once an order has been accepted, processed and dispatched. During which British Shoe Company will charge the customer's credit/debit card for goods, including any postage charges when shipment is outside of the United Kingdom.

All reasonable care has been taken to ensure that the descriptions and colour matching are accurate. However, the reproduction of colours is only as accurate as photographic and publishing processes will allow.

Although we carry high stock levels at British Shoe Company, we do rely on the manufacturer's stock. This can in turn cause minor delays on delivery times and on rare occasions the manufacturer may run out of certain items. With all orders placed with British Shoe Company, the customer will be informed of any such delays as soon as reasonably possible.

Clearance items are generally in stock items and although every effort is taken to keep up to date with availability, due to the high volume of sales of these limited stock products occasionally some are out of stock.

We are unable to offer VAT free shopping at this time.

Availability and prices of our goods are subject to change without notice.

We do not hold customers credit card information.

Custom shoe orders

Shoes customised and ordered on the "design your own" platform are final sale products and cannot be cancelled or refunded once production has begun. Please ensure the options you select during the design process are those that you wish to go ahead with.

Occasionally there may be delays with the factory due to circumstances outside of our control and the order may fall outside of the time period advised. We will ensure you are kept up to date with progress.
