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 L 10.000,00 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, we may delegate the sales and delivery to companies belonging to our group. 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, but we cannot guarantee delivery to every location in the world.

Costs for shipping and delivery times vary depending on the Product, destination country and type of delivery.

We will deliver within the time frame that you will find in the order, or within 30 days at maximum, and to the place you have indicated; please be advised that we are only able to deliver to private residential and/or office addresses. We are not responsible for delivery to individuals not authorised by you. If you have purchased several Products, we may make partial deliveries so that you receive the delivery as soon as possible, without charging you additional costs. 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 sale. In the event of a delay in a delivery or a failure to deliver a Product, in the case of purchases involving several Products, you will not be able to cancel the order for the other Products.

SCHEDULING DELIVERY

The ability to schedule a delivery depends on the courier service. We will notify you of the chosen courier service when we send you an order confirmation, and you may contact them directly. Some couriers require a fee for scheduling a delivery.

DELIVERY ATTEMPT

If the courier service does not locate anyone who can accept the delivery, they will leave a notice indicating whether they will attempt the delivery again or where you can collect the package.

DELIVERY NOT COLLECTED

Uncollected Products shall remain in storage until the deadline set by the courier service. You can check this deadline on the courier service’s website.
After this deadline, the courier will return the Products to us.

We will send you information regarding this matter to the e-mail address you entered in the order.

RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within thirty (30) days of delivery without being required to provide reasons. We will ask you if you want to inform us of the reason for the sole purpose of improving our service, but you are free to not answer.
In the case of several Products ordered in a single order and shipped separately, this time period is calculated from the last delivery.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform Geox by sending a document (e.g. a letter sent by post, a fax or an e-mail) stating that you wish to withdraw from the purchase contract. You may use the withdrawal form found by clicking here, although the use of said form is not mandatory.

For any other information, follow the instructions provided in the returns section or the FAQs on our Website.

CONSEQUENCES OF WITHDRAWAL

If you decide to withdraw from the contract, all payments made will be reimbursed, including any shipping costs from Geox to yourself (with the exception of additional expenses if you have chosen a method of delivery other than the standard delivery offered by Geox), with immediate effect and within a maximum of thirty (30) days from the date on which Geox received notification of withdrawal from the contract. The same payment method chosen during the initial transaction will be used for reimbursement.
In the case of cash on delivery, the reimbursement will be made by bank transfer: you will need to provide us with your IBAN number in order to be able to process the credit.
Reimbursement may remain pending until we have received the Products, or until you have submitted proof that the Products have been returned, whichever of these options occurs earlier.
You are responsible for the shipping costs of the return, unless it is specified that Geox will bear these costs.
If you have paid customs duties for delivery, after the return you may request a refund of customs duties from the competent customs authorities.

Notice: You must return the Products no later than thirty (30) days after the date on which withdrawal from the contract is announced. The withdrawal period is deemed to have been respected if the Products are sent before the thirty (30) days have elapsed.

Notice: You can only return unused Products, in their original packaging and intact. Geox may reject the return and return the Products to you in the event that the Products have been used, are not intact, were not returned in the original packaging, or are not saleable by us.

In the event of rejection of the return, you will be contacted by our Customer Care Team at the e-mail address you entered in the order and we will return the Product to you; you will be liable for the shipping costs and for collecting the Product. If you refuse the return, the Product will remain in stock for a maximum of 30 days to allow you to further reconsider your decision. You agree that Geox, and/or any company controlled by Geox, on the expiry of these 30 days, is free to donate said Product to charity or to organizations at Geox’s discretion or else to dispose of it. You will still be kept informed by our Customer Care Team at the e-mail address you provided in the order.

NON-CONFORMING OR FAULTY PRODUCTS

The shipping fees for a return due to a fault or non-conformity will be borne by you (unless you use our courier), but you will be reimbursed once quality control has confirmed the fault or non-conformity. Returned Products shall be inspected by our Quality Control department.
If the inspection confirms the fault or non-conformity, all costs you have incurred, including the cost of the Product and its shipment, will be reimbursed.
If the inspection fails to reveal the fault or non-conformity, we will return the original Product and you will be responsible for the cost of shipment.

Products damaged due to improper use or negligence (exposure to chemicals, caustic agents, open flame, high heat, sharp objects, etc.)
Products damaged due to improper use or use in activities other than those for which they were intended (for example, the use of shoes to play sports or as work shoes, etc.)

Our Customer Care is available for any need you may have. We invite all of our Customers not to hesitate to contact us should they have any questions or comments.

Products that we return to you because they are not faulty, which you do not collect, will remain in storage until the deadline set by the courier company. After this deadline, the courier company will return the Products to us. In this case, you agree that Geox, and/or any company controlled by Geox, is free to donate the Product held for more than 30 days to charity or to organizations chosen by Geox at its discretion, or else to dispose of said product, without crediting you for the price paid.
