1. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE

Please read these Terms and Conditions of Purchase carefully before ordering any Online Products from the Website.

 
WHEN THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE APPLY

When you place an order on the Website to purchase one of our products (“Products”), you fully accept and agree to comply with these Terms and Conditions of Purchase.
If you do not agree to one or more of the terms or conditions set forth in these Terms and Conditions of Purchase, please do not purchase any Products and contact our Customer Care Team.
The Terms and Conditions of Purchase are identical in all Countries in which the Website operates.

 
NATIONAL WEBSITE INTERFACES

Geox operates the Website with delivery in many Countries. Due to climate-related needs or the application of mandatory laws (e.g. VAT or regarding official sales), the Products sold and their prices may vary from Country to Country. This is why we have created different interfaces for the Website. When you connect for the first time you will be asked which interface you wish to use. You can always change this choice later.

 
WHO CAN PURCHASE PRODUCTS ON THE GEOX WEBSITE?

Our Website is for final consumers only. If you are a professional reseller and/or wish to resell the Products, please contact our Customer Care Team, we will be happy to creating a personalized offer based on your needs. Each customer may place a maximum order of €2,000.00 at one time.
You must be at least 16 years old to purchase Products from the Website.
You may make a purchase whether you are a registered user or a guest. If you are a registered user, the order will be made simpler by using data already recorded on our system.

You may purchase the Products from any national interface, but please pay attention to prices and shipping costs. Remember that by law we must apply the VAT of the Country of delivery of the Products.

 
HOW TO PURCHASE PRODUCTS FROM OUR WEBSITE

On our Website you will be able to view the Products for sale and all information about the Products. When you choose a Product, you will need to complete the order form and submit it in accordance with the instructions on the video that appears. Submission of the purchase order constitutes an offer to purchase the Products listed in the order and an acceptance of these Terms and Conditions of Purchase and of the Privacy Policy and the Geox Cookie Policy. The purchase offer is binding on you from the moment you submit it and therefore you will not be able to cancel it. However, you have the right to withdraw from the purchase within 30 days from delivery.
We will process the data in your order form and store it only until the warranty deadline expires and in any case not beyond the term specified by law. You will find all the information in the Privacy Policy section.
You will be able to view your orders in the My Account section.
Geox is entitled at any time to verify your order and/or decline it, without providing an explanation. We have listed some cases where Geox will decline consumer orders:

  • The Products ordered, even if still displayed on the Website, are no longer available;
  • We were not able to obtain authorization for payment from your credit card provider or from your account;
  • We suspect that the order was sent with the aid or involvement of software, robots, crawlers, spiders or other automated means or devices.

When you enter your order data, you will see the link that leads you to the order number, where you can view the details of your order.
The purchase contract is confirmed only when you receive an e-mail confirmation of the order, the order number and details of the Products ordered. We will also send you a link with the delivery information. Be careful when filling out the order form: it is your sole responsibility to ensure that the information provided in the order form is accurate and complete.
If you notice an error please contact our Customer Care Team. Please note that some courier services require an additional fee to change the delivery address.

 
MY ACCOUNT

In the My Account section you can always check the status of your orders.
An incomplete order is not confirmed. We encourage you to always check the price and shipping costs before making payment as prices may vary depending on the promotions in place at the time of purchase from the price displayed when you placed the order.

 
WISH LIST

In your Wish List you can save Products you like. Please note: these Products have not been reserved for you and their price may change depending on the promotions in place at the time of purchase compared to the price displayed when you placed the order.

 
CHANGING SIZE OR COLOUR

We are sorry, but the order is processed immediately after submission, we cannot change sizes or styles. If you wish to change a Product, you will need to return it and make a new purchase.

 
ORDER CANCELLATION

Since the order is processed within one hour of submitting it, it is impossible for us to cancel it.
If you notice an error, you can contact our Customer Care Team within 60 minutes from placing the order and they will try to assist you. Please take note that Customer Care service is only available at certain times.

 
PRICE

The prices indicated are inclusive of VAT. Prices are either in Euro (EUR) or in the local currency displayed.
Notice: We reserve the right to change the price of the Products and to change, limit or end any special offer, promotion or discount on the Products at any time.
Special promotions and sales may also depend on the selected Country.
When you place a Product in your shopping cart, but have not yet submitted your order, you have not confirmed the purchase contract. We encourage you to always check the price before submitting an order, because the price may have changed.

Notice: Prices vary from Country to Country, also due to the application of different VAT rates in the various countries. We are required by law to apply the VAT of the Country of destination, so the final price including VAT may be recalculated on the basis of the Country where you have requested delivery.
Prices may also vary during official or customary sales periods in some Countries or in promotions for some Countries.

 
DELIVERY: DESTINATIONS, TIMEFRAMES AND COSTS

To ensure you have the best service, the sale of the Products is managed by companies belonging to Geox Group and located close to the place of destination of your order. You can find the list of our companies and the Countries in which they operate here.

We have entered into agreements with the major courier services who will deliver the Products to you according to their own guidelines and policies. We will send you the information regarding the delivery including the expected time of delivery (if known) and the name of the courier so you may check its guidelines, policies and the available services. Delivery times vary depending on the Product, destination Country and type of delivery you choose in the order.

In the unlikely event that it is not possible to deliver the Products ordered within the prescribed time frame for reasons beyond our control, we shall promptly inform you and reimburse your payment. In this case, the purchase contract shall be understood to have been terminated. Each individual delivery shall constitute a separate contract of purchase. As a consequence, in the event of delay or lack of delivery of one Product, you may not terminate the sale and purchase for the other Products.

Some couriers try a second time to deliver if the first time nobody accepted the delivery. Please check the policies of the courier.

If you refuse to collect or to accept your Products, when delivered to you, the contract of purchase may be cancelled at our discretion. In this case, we will credit the price that you have paid using the same payment method you used, less delivery costs and storage costs.
