Terms & Conditions

0.0 We amend these terms from time to time. Every time you order products from mychaeldarwin.com, please check these terms to ensure you understand the terms in force at the time of your order, which terms will apply to the contract between you and us.

0.1 If we have to revise these terms as they apply to your order, we will contact you to give you reasonable advance notice of the changes and let you know how to cancel the contract if you are not happy with the changes. You may cancel either in respect of all the offered products or just the products you are yet to receive. If you opt to cancel due to these changes of terms, you will have to return any relevant products you have already received and we will arrange a full refund of the price you have paid, including any delivery charges.

1.2 You can contact us by telephoning our Customer service team by emailing: customerservice@mychaeldarwin.com. If we have to contact you we will do so by telephone or in writing to you at the email address or postal address you provided to us in your order.

1.4 When we use the words “writing” or “written” in these terms, this includes emails.

2.1 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.

2.2 After you place an order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order. However, please note that this does not mean your order has been accepted. Our acceptance of your order will take place as described in clause 2.3.

2.3 Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to confirm dispatch of your product, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.

2.4 If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing and we will refund you any money charged for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources, which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified. We reserve the right not to accept an order for any reason.

2.5 We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.

3.1 The images of the products on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the products. Your product may vary slightly from those images.

3.2 The packaging of the product may vary from that shown on images on our website.

4.1 If you wish to make a change to the order after processing, please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the product, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change.

5.1 The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our website.

5.2 During the order process we will let you know when we will provide the products to you. Our estimated delivery times are set out on our Shipping Information page.

5.3 We are not responsible for delays outside our control (including customs clearance processes). Please see clause 14, which relates to events outside our control.

5.4 We insure each order during the time the product is in transit until it is delivered to the address you have provided.

5.5 We require a signature for all products delivered.

5.6 If you have specified a recipient who is not you for delivery purposes (for example as a gift) then you accept that evidence of a signature by them (or a person at their delivery address) is evidence of delivery and fulfilment of the order and you become responsible for the product from this time.

5.7 The product will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the product to the address you gave us and you (or a person at your delivery address) have signed for the products.

5.8 You own the products once we have received payment in full.

5.9 We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the products to you. We will contact you in writing to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may end the contract. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

5.10 Reasons we may suspend the supply of products to you. We may have to suspend the supply of a product to:

5.10.1 deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;

5.10.2 update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;

5.10.3 make changes to the product as requested by you or notified by us to you.

5.11 We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the product, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. You may contact us to end the contract for a product if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than 30 days and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the product in respect of the period after you end the contract.

5.12 If we miss the delivery deadlines for any products then you may cancel your order straight away if any of the following apply:

5.12.1 we have refused to deliver the products;

5.12.2 delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or

5.12.3 you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.

5.13 If you do not wish to cancel your order straight away, or do not have the right to do so under clause 5.12, 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.

5.14 If you do choose to cancel your order for late delivery under clause 5.12 or 5.13, you can do so for just some of the products or all of them, unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. If the products have been delivered to you, you will have to return them to us, and we will pay the costs of this. After you cancel your order we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled products and their delivery.

6.1 We deliver to the countries listed on the country selector located in the top right corner of the website if you are using a desktop or tablet, and in the footer if you are using a mobile device. However, there are restrictions on some products for certain delivery destinations.

6.2 Orders may be subject to Import Taxes & Duties. We have ecommerce dispatch centres in Italy, USA, Japan, Hong Kong and China. Orders to these delivery destinations or destinations in the European Union will not be subject to Import Taxes & Duties. We ship DDP (Delivery Duties Paid) to the following destinations: UAE, South Korea, Norway, Switzerland, Greece. DDP means that Mychael Darwin will cover the Import Taxes & Duties. You will be responsible for payment of Import duties and taxes to all other destinations.

6.3 You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the products are destined. We will not be liable or responsible if you breach any such laws.

7.1 You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract:

7.1.1 If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 10;

7.1.2 if you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 7.2;

7.1.3 if you have just changed your mind about the product, see clause 7.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any goods.

7.2 If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at 7.2.1 to 7.2.5 below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:

7.2.1 we have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these terms which you do not agree to;

7.2.2 we have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;

7.2.3 there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;

7.2.4 we have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 30 days; or

7.2.5 you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.

7.3 As a consumer you have a legal right to cancel the contract. You have 14 days from after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods, unless your goods are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery to change your mind about the goods. (Mychael Darwin offers an extended returns policy of 28 days from delivery on full price goods within EMEA territories). This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for any reason that you do not want to receive or keep a product you can notify us within the relevant period of your decision to cancel and receive a refund.

8.1 To end the contract with us, please let us know by phone, email or logging into your account/visiting the guest portal or email. Log into your Mychael Darwin account or the guest portal detailed in the returns section and request a return. You can callcustomer services 39051 6019520 or email us at mychael-darwin.myshopify.com. Please provide your name, home address, details of the order and, where available, your phone number and email address.

8.2 If you end the contract for any reason after products have been dispatched to you or you have received them, you must return them to us no later than 14 days after the day on which you receive your “Return Request Authorised” email from us. You must post them back to us by secure means and ensure the products reach us in good condition and unused at your own cost, or you may use our free DHL collection service within Europe. Cancelled orders and returns should be returned to Mychael Darwin E-Commerce, Via Enrico Mattei 10, 40138 Bologna, Italy.

8.3 When we will not cover the return shipment unless specified in your RMA confirmation email or;

8.3.1 if the products are faulty or misdescribed; or

8.3.2 if you are ending the contract because we have told you of an upcoming change to the product or these terms, an error in pricing or description, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong.

8.4 In all other circumstances (including where you are exercising your right to change your mind) you must pay the costs of return.

8.5 We will refund you the price you paid for the products including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.

8.6 If you are exercising your right to change your mind:

8.6.1 We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount. For this reason we recommend that you insure the products whilst they are being returned to us.

8.6.2 The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

8.7 We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. Your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive 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.

8.8 We recommend that you retain proof of sending the products back to us. If we do not receive the products, we will arrange to have them collected at your cost.

8.9 If you are exercising your right to change your mind, you may prefer to return or exchange items using our free return and exchange collection service. You will need to request your Returns Merchandise Authorisation (“RMA”) number within 28 days after the day you receive the goods and return your unwanted items within 14 days after the day of receiving your RMA number. You can exchange the item for the same item in a different size, if available. Shipping is complementary on a replacement item.

9.1 We may end the contract for a product at any time by writing to you if you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the products, you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the products to you.

If the product’s correct price at your order date is different to the price stated, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.
