Please read these terms and conditions carefully as they affect your rights and liabilities under the law and set out the terms under which we make our goods available to you.
1 General
1.1 ‘We’, ‘us’ or ‘our’ is a reference to International Dance Shoes Limited, and ‘you’ or ‘your’ is a reference to the person or entity to whom we are supplying goods and who is required to pay for the goods we supply.
1.2 By placing an order with us you are offering to purchase goods on and subject to the following terms and conditions. You agree to be bound by all the provisions set out in these terms and conditions. Any order accepted by us is to be deemed to incorporate these terms and conditions.
1.3 No variation or amendment that you make to the terms and conditions shall be binding on us unless explicitly accepted by us in writing. We reserve the right to vary or amend the terms and conditions at any time prior to our acceptance of your order and you will be given the opportunity to agree to any variations or amendments.
2 The contract between us
2.1 Your order constitutes an offer made to us to purchase goods as specified in your order. You can make an order on our website, by emailing us or by telephone at the contact details given in condition 17, or in store at our factory at Unit 11, i.O. Centre, Fingle Drive, Stonebridge, Milton Keynes, MK13 0AT, United Kingdom.
2.2 Once you place your order on our website you will receive an automated email acknowledging that your order has been placed sent to the email address you provide in your order. We will then contact you by email again to let you know once your order is confirmed. This confirmation email will confirm our acceptance of your order which brings into existence a legally binding contract between us.
2.3 For all other orders other than on our website we will contact you by email at the email address you provide in your order to confirm our acceptance of your order which brings into existence a legally binding contract between us.
3 Pricing and payment
3.1 The prices payable for goods and the descriptions and specifications of those goods that you order are as set out in our website and as displayed in our price lists and in store at our factory unless the goods you order are bespoke goods under condition 5.
3.2 We endeavour to set out and display accurate and up to date prices, however there may be occasions where the price is incorrect due to an error or due to changes in our suppliers’ costs. We will therefore confirm the revised price by phone or email as soon as possible.
3.3 If the price of your order or any delivery charges or other charges are different at the time we are ready to send the email confirming acceptance of your order to what it was at the time you placed your order then:
3.3.1 if the price is lower at the time we send the email confirming acceptance of your order then we will charge you the lower price and dispatch the goods; or
3.3.2 if the price is higher at the time we send the email confirming acceptance of your order then we will either cancel your order or contact you to ask you either whether you wish to pay the higher price or to cancel your order. If the order is cancelled by us or you do cancel the order then if you have already made any payment, we will make a refund.
3.4 When you place an order you authorise us to debit the credit, debit or other card you specify at the time of your order unless your payment is in cash. We do not accept cheques.
3.5 You are required to pay extra for delivery and it might not be possible for us to deliver to some locations. Our delivery charges will be confirmed to you at the time of your order.
3.6 For all orders made through our website you are required to pay for the entire order (which includes delivery and any other charges) at the time of order before it will be accepted and the goods dispatched.
3.7 For all orders made by email or over the telephone you must pay for the entire order (which includes delivery and any other charges) either at the time of order where the goods require manufacture or they are bespoke goods, or before the goods are dispatched or collected by you where the goods are in stock.
3.8 For all orders made in store at our factory or at our exhibition stands you are required to pay for the entire order (which includes delivery and any other charges) at the time of order if the goods you order are available and you wish to take them away. Alternatively you are required to pay a 50% deposit of the entire order (which includes delivery and any other charges) at the time of the order, and the outstanding 50% shall be payable before collection or dispatch.
3.9 For all orders for bespoke goods you are required to pay for the entire order (which includes delivery and any other charges) at the time of order before it will be accepted and the goods dispatched.
4 Right for you to cancel your contract
4.1 Your right to cancel your contract in this condition only applies where you order goods through our website, by email or over the telephone. The right for you to cancel your contract in this condition 4 does not apply where your order is for bespoke goods (see condition 5). It also does not apply to goods ordered in store at our factory or where you are purchasing wholesale or as a business.
4.2 You may cancel your contract with us for the goods you order at any time up to the end of the seventh working day from the date you receive the ordered goods. You do not need to give us any reason for cancelling your contract nor will you have to pay any penalty.
4.3 To cancel your contract you must notify us in writing by email at the email address given in condition 17.
4.4 If you have received the goods before you cancel your contract then you must send the goods back to our contact address at your own cost and risk. If you cancel your contract but we have already processed the goods for delivery you must not unpack the goods when they are received by you and you must send the goods back to us at our contact address at your own cost and risk as soon as possible. Please note that we only refund the costs of the shoes and not postage, unless there is a fault in manufacture.
4.5 Once you have notified us that you are cancelling your contract, any sum debited to us from your credit card will be credited to your account as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days of your order PROVIDED THAT the goods in question are returned by you and received by us in the condition they were in when delivered to you. For this reason we strongly recommend that you use a recorded method of delivery. If you do not return the goods delivered to you or do not pay the costs of delivery, we shall be entitled to deduct the direct costs of recovering the goods from the amount to be credited to you. Please note that we only refund the costs of the shoes and not postage, unless there is a fault in manufacture.
5 Bespoke goods
5.1 You may request to have goods that we offer on our website, price lists and catalogues modified according to your requirements or made to your specification. Orders for such goods shall be considered as bespoke goods. We will treat any request for bespoke goods as an order.
5.2 Bespoke goods shall include (but shall not be limited to):
5.2.1 goods requested in a specific style or material that is not included on our list of current styles and materials on our website, price lists or catalogues at the time of the order; or
5.2.2 goods requested in a width or size other than the standard dimensions available in accordance with our website, price lists and catalogues; or
5.2.3 goods requested in a combination of materials we do not readily provide, or in a different material to that which is available as standard in accordance with our website, price lists and catalogues; or
5.2.4 goods requested to be made in accordance with any special instructions that you give us that would mean that we have to manufacture the goods other than through our normal manufacturing process , such as (but not limited to) having a particular length cut off the sole, or specific placement of materials outside of the standard designs as set out in our website, price lists or catalogues; or
5.2.5 goods requested in your own material as opposed to the material that we provide those goods in as standard.
5.3 Where you make an order for bespoke goods there is an additional charge payable of 20% of the price for the goods which is payable at the time of the order. Where you specifically make an order for bespoke goods in accordance with condition 5.2.5 the additional charge payable shall be 50% (as opposed to 20%) of the price for the goods which is payable at the time of the order. You will always be notified that your order is for bespoke goods and also notified of the additional charge that is applicable before we accept your order and take payment.
5.4 With certain orders, where we consider the specifications of your request to require an unprecedented and unusual amount of production time and cost, we may charge a higher additional charge than specified in condition 5.3. We will always notify you and agree this with you before accepting the order and taking payment.
5.5 As bespoke orders are tailored specifically towards your requirements we strictly refuse to replace or refund bespoke orders unless the bespoke goods are not what you ordered or are damaged or defective or the delivery is of an incorrect quantity (in which case please refer to condition 8).
6 Cancellation by us
6.1 We reserve the right to cancel the contract between us if:
6.1.1 we have insufficient stock to deliver the goods you have ordered;
6.1.2 we do not deliver to your area;
6.1.3 you commit a material breach of the terms and conditions;
6.1.4 one or more of the goods you ordered was listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical error or an error in the pricing information received by us from our suppliers; or
6.1.5 you fail to make payment when it becomes due.
6.2 If we cancel your contract we will notify you by email and will credit to your account any sum deducted by us from your credit card as soon as possible but in any event within 30 days of your order. We will not be obliged to offer any additional compensation for disappointment suffered.

7.1 Unless you have specified with your order that you wish to collect the goods we will deliver the goods ordered by you to the address you give us for delivery at the time you make your order.
7.2 Delivery will be made as soon as possible after your order is accepted. Delivery times may vary during busier periods such as periods of promotion and holiday seasons. If the goods you order are in stock then we aim to dispatch them within 72 hours of your order. If your goods require manufacture then we aim to dispatch them within within 30 days of your order. We endeavour to deliver goods ordered by you within these times however if there is a possibility that delivery will be delayed then we will make reasonable efforts to keep you updated.
7.3 You will become the owner of the goods you have ordered when they have been delivered to you. Once goods have been delivered to you they will be held at your own risk and we will not be liable for their loss or destruction.
7.4 Please note that delivery/postage charges are paid by the customer. When customers return shoes for an exchange, the customer will be asked to pay the return postage. The company will pay for postage only when shoes have been returned due to a fault in manufacture. The customer must also be aware that for international orders, customs and duty charges are outside of our control and may be charged. By proceeding with your order, you agree that payment of customs charges and duty charges are your responsibility.
