Once you have placed your order, we conduct a standard pre-authorisation check on your method-of-payment to ensure sufficient funds. We also undertake a fraud prevention process which is outlined in “Fraud Prevention” below. If you paid using your credit card, you will be charged once the goods have been despatched to the delivery address. If funds have ceased to be available between the pre-authorisation check and the actual charge, the order will be cancelled. We will send you an email to confirm the despatch of your order.

If you have paid via your PayPal account, your account will be charged at the time of the order, once you confirm your order on the website. If we are unable to ship your items to you for some reason, we will refund the value of the items that were not sent. This refund will be made to the payment method that you used for the order.

Authorisation by Card Issuer

Orders placed using credit or debit cards are subject to authorization by the card issuer. If the card issuer refuses to authorize the payment for any reason, awear.com is unable to process the payment. In this case, you will be notified of the refusal during the check-out process.

Verified by Visa & MasterCard SecureCode

A|wear aims to provide you with a safe, reliable shopping experience. We therefore support Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode, which have the same principles as Chip & Pin, and which help to protect your card against unauthorized use. If your bank or card issuer has adopted this programme, you may receive a Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode verification page when you are shopping on the A|wear website. If you are not presented with the page but wish to register for the programme to improve the security associated with your card, please contact your bank directly, or search for Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode on the Internet for more information.

If you are prompted with a Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode screen, and you choose not to register, your card issuer may not allow your order to be processed on that card. If this occurs, you will be asked to provide a different payment method to complete your purchase.

Returns

If you are not completely satisfied with any item you ordered, we will refund the sale price of any item you return to us in saleable condition within 14 days of receipt. You may obtain a refund by posting the item back to us using the free returns label included in the package, or by visiting one of our stores.

If you choose to visit a store to obtain a refund, please ensure that you bring your despatch note with you as your proof of purchase, as well as the card you used to purchase the order online. If you are not the cardholder for the order, they will need to be present when the return takes place at the store in order to accept the refund back onto their card. Please note that refunds made for orders processed via PayPal can only be made by returning the items in the post. We cannot process Paypal orders in a store.

If you choose to return an item to us through the post, please be sure to ask your Post Office for a proof of posting. This document will include a tracking number that you can use to track your shipment and ensure it arrives safely back to A|wear. If we do not receive a returned item, and the shipment goes missing, we are unable to provide a refund, unless you can provide the proof of postage.

Once we receive the returned items, we will inspect and restock the goods before processing a refund. Please note that it may take up to 14 days for the refund to process and for the funds to show in your account. If you purchased the goods originally with a credit or debit card, we can only process a refund to the card that was used for the purchase. If your card expires before we are able to process the refund, please contact customer service and provide your name, order number, postcode, and phone number. For security reasons, we do not accept card information through email. Therefore, once you provide us with your contact information, we will contact you directly to take the new card details over the phone.

Please note that we do not offer refunds for pierced jewellery, swimwear or hair accessories – for hygiene reasons – unless the items are of unsatisfactory quality.

Discounts

If you purchase items using a discount (for instance, 3-for-2) and decide to return one or more of the items, you will be refunded the full price of the items returned less the amount of the discount. For example, if you were to purchase three items in a 3-for-2 offer, each of which is regularly priced at £10, and were to return one of the items, you would not receive a refund because three items would no longer have been purchased, and therefore the offer would no longer be valid.

If you return all of the items purchased through a discount, then you will be refunded for the full value of the offer. For buy-one-get-one-free offers, you must return any free items to us in order for the full refund to be processed.
