The offers on our website www.zalando.ie are directed exclusively at consumers who conclude the purchase for a purpose that cannot be attributed to their commercial or professional activity.

1. Formation of contract and delivery of merchandise

1.1 By placing an order you confirm to purchase for private purposes exclusively.
1.2 For orders placed online at www.zalando.ie, we enter into English language contracts only. When you order Zalando merchandise and Zalando Pre-owned merchandise, your contract is with Zalando SE, Valeska-Gert-Str. 5, 10243 Berlin.
1.3 When you order Zalando pre-owned merchandise, depending on the Product you select, you either have a contract solely with the respective Zalando Partner or with both, Zalando SE and the respective Zalando Partner together (joint seller). Information on the respective contractual relationship is displayed on each product details page.
1.4 By clicking on "Buy now", you are placing a binding order for the items in your shopping cart. Once you have submitted your order, we will immediately send you an e-mail confirmation of your order. A binding contract is formed when you receive the order confirmation from us. Please note that items ordered by advanced payment (reserved) will be dispatched as soon as we receive payment of the full purchase price and any shipping costs. We therefore ask you to transfer the purchase price immediately after receiving the order confirmation, but at least within 7 days.
1.5 You consent to the assignment of the seller's claims for payment of the purchase price to third parties, in particular to Zalando Payments GmbH.
1.6 Please note that, by way of exception, we are under no obligation to deliver your order if our suppliers fail to deliver stock correctly or on time, despite us having followed proper ordering practice at our end (matching purchase transaction). For this exception to apply, we must not be legally responsible for the merchandise being unavailable, and we must have notified you of the situation without undue delay. In addition, we must not have assumed a procurement risk in relation to the ordered merchandise. If merchandise is unavailable, we will refund any payments made by you without undue delay.
1.7 We do not assume the risk of having to procure ordered merchandise elsewhere (procurement risk). This applies also to orders for generic goods (where only the type and features of the goods are described). We are obliged only to make deliveries from our available stock and from the stock we have ordered from our suppliers. Where we make deliveries of goods from our available stock, the goods provided will be consistent with the order made by you. We deliver within Ireland. Where time periods are expressed in working days, we understand working days to mean all of the days between Monday and Friday inclusive, but not public holidays.
1.8 We inform you about the delivery time on each product detail page as well as before you place an order.
1.9 We reserve the right not to accept an order or to cancel the order if the order is being placed by the use of software, robot, crawler, spider or any automated system or scripted behavior and any use of third party services used to place an order on your behalf.

2. Prices, shipping costs and express delivery

2.1 The prices set out in the offer as at the date on which the order is placed shall apply. The stated prices are final prices (totals), in other words they include Irish value added tax at the applicable statutory rate. The merchandise remains our property or the property of the relevant Zalando partner, as the case may be, until full payment of the purchase price.
2.2 We assume the costs of shipping for all orders with a minimum order basket value of €30.00.
2.3 Shipping costs amount to €3.90 including VAT for all orders with a value of less than €30.00, as indicated on the product detail page and in the shopping cart when placing the order. The fee relates to costs resulting from the size of the order, inter alia shipping handling and other services. The costs accrue and are levied by Zalando. In case that the customer returns the goods within the procedure and in accordance with this contract and the applicable law, the shipping costs will be refunded.
2.4 Express delivery is available for certain orders. When placing your order, you will see whether this option is available for your particular order as well as the costs of this option. Merchandise will be delivered within 2 working days at the latest. If the merchandise does not arrive within that delivery period, you will of course receive a refund of the delivery costs.
2.5 Depending on where your item is being shipped from, long-distance delivery fees of €3.90 including VAT may apply. We will inform you accordingly before your order is placed if long-distance delivery fees apply for the item selected. Long-distance delivery costs accrue and are levied by Zalando. If you decide to return any item for which long-distance delivery fees have been charged, we will refund the long-distance delivery fees if the full order is returned. Your statutory rights remain unaffected.

3. Payment

3.1 We generally accept the following payment methods: credit card, prepayment and payment through Paypal.

5.1 Gift vouchers are vouchers that can be purchased. They may only be redeemed to purchase Zalando merchandise and Zalando partner merchandise, not more gift vouchers. If the value of a gift voucher is not enough to cover the order, the difference can be paid using any of the accepted payment methods.

10.2 Please note that when ordering Zalando-Pre-owned items, these are second-hand items. The liability period for defects of Zalando-Pre-owned merchandise is one year. Liability claims are therefore only valid for defects that occur within one year after delivery of Zalando-Pre-owned merchandise.
10.3 Quality conditions of the Zalando-pre-owned merchandise: Since Zalando-Pre-owned merchandise are second-hand goods, usual signs of use, which can be expected due to the used quality of the goods, do not constitute a defect.
