4. Pricing
4.1 We endeavour to ensure that all Products on the Platforms are available at the same price in all our stores (Oxford Street, London; Bullring, Birmingham; Exchange Square, Manchester; and The Trafford Centre, Manchester). However, from time to time we may offer additional discounts for purchases made via the Platforms that do not apply in store, or vice versa. Additionally, Products offered as sets on the Platforms may not be offered as part of a set in store and individual prices may apply.
4.2 Any coupons, discounts, offers or promotional discounts (the “Promotions”) offered on the Platforms are non-transferable and valid only for use as part of a purchase made via the Platforms unless otherwise stated and subject to availability. No cash alternative will be offered on any Promotion. No Promotion can be used in conjunction with any other coupon, offer or promotional discount and it must be redeemed by the date published (if applicable and provided). Under no circumstances will we be able to honour incorrect promotions and discount codes offered by third parties who we are not affiliated with and/or with whom we have not agreed to run a Promotion.
4.3 Product prices shown on the Platforms are in British Pounds, US Dollars, Hong Kong Dollars, Chinese Yuan, Australian Dollars, Euros, Canadian Dollars, Taiwanese Dollars, South Korean Won, Singapore Dollars or such other currency as we may offer from time to time and are inclusive of UK value added tax ("VAT") (where applicable) at the appropriate rate. Where you have requested delivery of your Order to an EU country, the total cost of your Order will include VAT. Where you have requested delivery of your Order to a non-EU country, the total cost of your Order will not include VAT. However, it will include any taxes, duties, fees, levies or other charges levied by that non-EU country, which will be added to your Order at checkout and paid on your behalf by Selfridges to the relevant local customs authorities (where possible). You acknowledge and accept that additional taxes, duties and charges may be levied on your order delivered outside of the EU despite Selfridges’ efforts to ensure no additional charges are levied upon or following delivery.
Product prices shown on the Platforms (irrespective of which currency you choose to pay in) may change from time to time. The price of a Product may change at checkout if it is subject to any taxes, duties, fees, levies or delivery charges applied in the country you have selected for delivery of your Order.
4.4 Although we try to ensure all our Products' prices displayed in the Product Description are accurate, errors may sometimes occur. If we discover an error in the price of a Product, we shall be under no obligation to accept or fulfil an order for this Product at the incorrect price and reserve the right to cancel such an order that has been accepted or is in transit.
4.5 You will be the importer for the international delivery of your Order (i.e. any Order delivered to a country other than the UK). Therefore, before placing an Order, it is your responsibility to check that the Products you are planning to import comply with state and federal government import regulations, and that there are no local requirements or restrictions which may affect receipt of your Order. If any customs requirements apply or charges are due, you agree to be responsible for these.
5. Product Restrictions
5.1 There may be instances where due to restrictions (legal or otherwise) or practices in relation to a Product, we are prevented from being able to deliver it to you (for example, age- or country-restricted products such as alcohol). Selfridges shall not be held liable in relation to any Product that we are unable to sell or deliver to you as a result of such restrictions. Please refer to the Product Description of your selected Product(s) to see if any restrictions apply. In the event that a restriction is enforced after you have placed your Order with us, we will do our utmost to notify you as soon as reasonably practicable.
5.2 If you place an Order for any Products which are age-restricted, you warrant that you meet the age requirement for that Product, for example over eighteen (18) years to place an Order for any alcohol product. It is an offence to buy or attempt to buy age-restricted Products if you are under age or to purchase such Products for someone else who is under age.
5.3 We reserve the right not to sell or deliver any age-restricted Product to anyone who is, or appears to be, under the required age. If you have purchased an age-restricted Product and have ordered it using the Selfridges 'Click & Collect' service, proof of ID may be requested upon collection of that Product.
6. Order Process
6.1 Selfridges takes all reasonable care, in so far as possible, to keep the details of your Order and payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part, we will not be liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any Personal Information you provide when accessing or placing an Order on the Platforms.

6.2 The technical steps to place your Order and create a contract of sale between you and Selfridges are as follows:
a) You place an Order on the Platforms by pressing the 'Buy Now' button at the end of the checkout process. You will be guided through the process of placing an Order by a series of simple instructions on the Platforms.
b) We will send you an email confirming your Order which will detail the Product(s) (including their Product Descriptions) that you have ordered. This email does not constitute an acceptance of your Order by us and a contract does not exist between us at this point.
c) As your Order is shipped by us we will send you a dispatch confirmation email. Please note, that we may also send you an SMS to notify you that your Order has been dispatched. Alternatively, in relation to Click & Collect, we will send you an email (as well as possibly an SMS) to confirm that your Order is ready for collection. Upon sending either of these emails, your Order will be taken to have been accepted by us unless we have notified you that we do not accept your Order, or you have cancelled it.
d) Subject to us having accepted your Order, we will then arrange for delivery of it to you at your nominated address on the date and time nominated by you (as far as applicable) or make it available for collection through Click & Collect.

b) the date and time of collection of it from a Click & Collect collection point, in a Selfridges store or delivery by us to your nominated address, safe place, neighbour or as specified by you to our delivery partner. The Order is your responsibility from the time the delivery is made to the address or safe place you gave to us.
6.4 We shall be entitled to supply Products ordered as part of one Order separately. This may mean that Products are dispatched or available for collection separately. There may be certain circumstances where we can supply only part of an Order.
6.5 Non-acceptance of your Order (or parts of your Order) may be due to any one or more of the following non-exhaustive reasons:
a) A Product you ordered is out of stock;
b) We are unable to obtain authorisation for your payment;
c) We have identified an error with a Product Description, including but not limited to a pricing error;
d) You do not meet the eligibility requirements as specified in these Terms and Conditions;
e) There is a system or procurement failure;
f) You fail our customer validation checks;
g) There are restrictions (legal or otherwise) or practices in relation to a Product which prevent us from being able to sell or deliver it to you; or
h) We believe you are generating orders for commercial gain and not personal use.
