By completing and submitting your account registration, you have opted in to receive email communication from us. You may not use the Platform for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms, or to solicit the performance of any illegal activity or other activity which infringes the rights of THE FASHION SQUARE or others. Notwithstanding any other rights or restrictions in these Terms, you may not use this Platform to:

3. Registration and Account

To access certain features of the Platform, you may be required to create an account. You must provide accurate and complete information when registering and keep your account up-to-date. You are responsible for the confidentiality and security of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

4. Pricing and Bidding

Any product available on The Fashion Square platform is available for direct purchase or for purchase via our bidding system.

4.1 Direct purchase:

For a direct purchase, the product will be sold at the local retail price as listed by our partner boutiques. The purchase can be made directly via the product page of any product.

4.2 Bidding:

With our innovative bidding system, you have the option to submit a bid at a lower or higher amount than the local retail price. All bids are subject to acceptance by the partner boutique, which may accept or reject any bid at its sole discretion. Any submitted bid is binding, and if any boutique accepts the bid, the order will be concluded instantly.
Please note that you will need to be logged in to your account to make a direct purchase or to submit a bid.

Payment

Order payments must be made through the payment methods available on the Platform. By submitting your payment information, you authorize THE FASHION SQUARE and our third-party payment processors to charge the applicable amount to your selected payment method.
When using a credit card for your transaction, you must use your own credit card. THE FASHION SQUARE will not be liable for any credit card fraud. The liability to use a card fraudulently will be on the user and the onus to 'prove otherwise' shall be exclusively on the user.

Product quality

All products undergo strict quality control procedures before they are shipped. We do not allow the shipment of flawed items or products that are of lower quality than the corresponding market standards for sale on our platform. Please note that items that are damaged as a result of normal wear and tear, by accident, or through misuse will be considered faulty and will not be accepted, and any refund request will be refused.

If you receive an item that is not as described, flawed, or of lower quality, you can return it to us within the prescribed return period. For further information, please see our Return Policy.

As a consumer, you have legal rights concerning products that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by anything in these Terms and Conditions.

7. Order and Delivery

The expected delivery time is our best estimation of the time required to get your order to you. We cannot be held responsible for any losses resulting from delivery taking place outside of our expected timeframe. You are still obligated to fulfill your customer obligations or any other relevant terms and conditions, even if your order is delivered outside of the expected delivery time frame. If your account needs to undergo security validation, this will affect the delivery time. THE FASHION SQUARE is not responsible for any delays caused by destination customs clearance issues.

All orders are insured during their time in transit until delivery to your specified delivery address. THE FASHION SQUARE will hold the title to the goods until they are delivered to and accepted by you in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. We require a signature for any order delivered, and at that point, the responsibility and title for your purchased items pass to you. 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 at that delivery address) is evidence of delivery and fulfillment by THE FASHION SQUARE, and the transfer of responsibility and title in the same way. The items become your responsibility from the time we deliver them to the address you gave us.

In certain circumstances, our delivery partner may provide you with the following options when delivering your order: (a) signature release: opting out of the requirement to provide a signature on delivery; and/or (b) leave with neighbor: redirecting the delivery to a neighbor. You acknowledge and agree that we shall bear no responsibility or liability for any loss or damage that may result from delivering your order in accordance with your request.

While every effort is made to ensure that the information on our platform is accurate, errors may occur from time to time. If we discover an error in the price of any items you have ordered, we will notify you via email as soon as possible and provide you with the option to re-confirm your order at the correct price or cancel it. In the event of such an error, we reserve the right to decline to sell the product to you at the original listed price, even if you have completed the checkout process. If we are unable to contact you, your order will be treated as cancelled. If you cancel, and you have already paid for the order, we shall refund the full amount as soon as possible.

For customers in the USA, we do not collect sales or use tax in all states. We do not collect use tax for international purchases. For states imposing sales or use tax, your purchase may be subject to use tax unless it is specifically exempt from taxation. Many states require customers to file a sale and/or use tax return at the end of the year reporting all taxable purchases that were not taxed and to pay tax on those purchases. For more details, please contact your local taxing authority.

8. Returns and Refunds

Our Return Policy allows eligible items to be returned within a 14-day period from the delivery date. To facilitate the return, a $15 contribution will be deducted from the refund value. Please note, the initial shipping contribution is non-refundable per our Terms & Conditions.

To initiate a return, please email returns@the-fashion-square.com providing your order number and reason for return.

Please ensure that all items are unworn, undamaged, and unused, with all security tags and labels attached, and included in the original packaging. All footwear and accessories must be returned with their original branded boxes and dust bags and placed inside a protective box. Hosiery, lingerie, and swimwear items must be returned with the hygiene seals attached and in unopened and undamaged packaging, where applicable. Jewelry must be returned in the same condition as it was delivered, including all branded packaging and accompanying documents.

To avoid any inconvenience, please ensure that you include any accessories, branded boxes, or cases delivered with your order and use our reusable packaging. Please note that if any element is damaged or missing from your return, we may not be able to accept it.

Return Label and Return Note will be provided within 2 business days of your request. Make sure to ship the return from the same country where your order was delivered.

Returns may be shipped back using the complimentary home pick-up service or by dropping off the item at any authorized FedEx service point.
