Please review our Terms and Conditions, Return Policy, Privacy and Cookies Policy (collectively, the “Site Policies"). All Site Policies are incorporated in these Terms and Conditions by this reference and, therefore, apply to your access to, use of and purchase of products from the Site (“Product”). If you do not agree to our Site Policies, please do not use the Site. We reserve the right to make changes to the Site, the Site Policies, and these Terms and Conditions at any time. If any of these conditions shall be deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that condition shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining condition.

Access to the Site

It is your responsibility to ensure your equipment (computer, laptop, netbook, tablet or other mobile device) meets all the necessary technical specifications to enable you to access and use the Site and is compatible with the Site.

We may, from time to time, restrict access to certain features, parts or content of the Site, or the entire Site, to users who have registered with us. You must ensure that any registration details you provided are accurate. If you choose, or you are provided with, a log-on ID (such as a username and password or other identifier) as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential and must not reveal it to anyone else. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your login ID and must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use or other security breach of which you become aware. We reserve the right to disable any log-on ID, at any time, if in our opinion you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these terms and conditions or if any details you provide for the purposes of registering as a user prove to be false.

Operation of Website and Delivery of Services 

Please note that the delivery logistics service is being provided by the Provider to you, the customer, and as such, you are entering into a contract for delivery services provided by the Provider. The Provider may make a charge for these services, which will be shown prior to checkout and your purchase of the Products. 

Products

The Products are owned and sold on the Website by POE. POE attempts to be as accurate as possible in the description of the Products. However, we cannot guarantee that any descriptions are totally accurate, complete, reliable or error-free. Please note that the images of the Products on the Website are for illustrative purposes only and while we have tried to accurately display the colors of products, the actual colors you see will depend on your monitor and may not be accurate.

Purchase for Personal Use Only 

You may purchase products on the Site only for personal use and not for resale. By placing your order, you certify that you are purchasing products for personal use only and not for resale and you accept our Terms and Conditions. Neither POE nor the Provider has any liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity. 

Ordering and Availability

Products may be ordered by clicking on the items you wish to purchase and then following the prompts that will appear on-screen. You may check and correct any input errors in your order up until the point at which you submit your order to us by clicking the "SUBMIT" button on the checkout page. All orders are subject to email confirmation by us. After placing an order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order and giving you an order reference number. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us. We are not obliged to accept your order and may, at our discretion, decline to accept any order. You do, however, acknowledge that by clicking on the "SUBMIT" button, you enter into an obligation to pay for the Products. When we accept your order, we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an email that confirms that the Product has been dispatched (“Dispatch Confirmation”). The contract between you and us in relation to the Products ordered (“Contract”) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation. After entering into the Contract, we will be under a legal duty to supply you with goods that are in conformity with the Contract. The Contract will relate only to the Product(s) whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation. 

Please note that the Products displayed on the Site may be out-of-stock or discontinued, and availability is not guaranteed.

Shipping Costs

You are responsible for the shipping costs associated with the delivery of the Products you purchase on the Site as specified on your order confirmation unless specified in the checkout page.

Delivery and Shipments

Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, within 30 days after the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances. Delivery is deemed complete upon receipt of the Products to the address you specified in your order. If your delivery address is geographically remote, for example certain outlying islands or other isolated locations, it is possible that we may not be able to deliver there. If that is the case, we will notify you before we accept your order. We reserve the right not to deliver to any country that is prohibited by applicable export laws. Orders cannot be delivered to PO Box or similar addresses. Products within the same order cannot be delivered to different addresses. We would like to remind you that all Products purchased are intended for use in the country they were ordered from. If, however, you decide to take the items to another country, you will be responsible for adhering to both the exportation legislation of the order country and the importation legislation of the destination country. We shall not be held liable.

Shipments are made by our trusted courier and take place from Monday to Saturday (or other normal working week days in countries that do not follow a Western pattern of working week), excluding bank and public holidays, usually within the hours between 8am and 5pm. It is not possible to specify a precise time at which a delivery will take place.

Please note that the courier may require deliveries to be signed for. If you order Products for international delivery, they may be opened and inspected by customs authorities and may be subject to additional import duties and taxes which are levied when the delivery reaches the specified destination. Place of Elms will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes, which are included in the price. Please note that we have no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount. 

Place of Ëlms, ensures compliance with all International customs laws, including the applicable duties and taxes for our customers. All shipments to the United States, E.U and UK are processed in accordance with these regulations, and any duties or taxes due are handled in line with the customs requirements.

In the event that you return a Product, the import duties will be refunded if they were originally included in the purchase price. If they were not included, then you will be responsible for reclaiming duty directly from your local customs office.

Pre-Orders

All Products are available to ship unless it is a pre-order item. All pre-order Products have an estimated ship date, that indicates the date that the Product will be shipped out from our warehouse, but these Products may arrive sooner or later than specified. 

Credit cards are charged at the time of the pre-order, subject to our usual fraud checks. Estimated shipping date is published online. POE is not liable for delays, cancellations or changes to pre-ordered items made during production. If a pre-ordered item will not be shipped out by the estimated shipping date, the customer will be notified and, at the customer’s election, either refunded in full or provided with an updated estimated shipping date. If an order includes both available and pre-ordered items, at least two separate deliveries will be most likely made to the customer.

Price and Payment

Prices may change without notice. While we try to ensure that all prices on our Website are accurate, errors may occur. Changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation. The Site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on the Site may be incorrectly priced. 

Payment for all orders must be made by credit or debit card on the checkout page. We accept payment by most major credit and debit cards, Google Pay, Apple Pay, PayPal and crypto payments. From time to time, we may run promotions where we issue discount codes. These can be used in part-payment of the price of Products ordered online, subject to the terms and conditions under which they were issued (as indicated in our relevant promotion from which you got the code). Discount codes can only be used once, and only during the period of validity stated and only in respect of the relevant Products stated. Discount codes cannot be redeemed for cash.

Returns and Refunds

Please refer to our Return Policy which forms an integral part of these Terms and Conditions.

Returned Products must conform to our returns policy below.

You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the products while they are in your possession, and you must return them in the same condition in which you receive them (except to the extent reasonably necessary to examine them). This includes the following guidelines:

- Products should be returned unworn (other than to try them on), unwashed, undamaged and unused with their original tags.
- Footwear and accessories should be returned in the original boxes provided and inside a protective shipping box.
- If the Product comes with a security tag this should be left on.

    You cannot cancel a contract for the supply of any of the following Products:

    - Any Products that have been personalized or made to your own bespoke specifications unless such Products were damaged or faulty when delivered to you or have been incorrectly delivered (see Returns and refunds for customized Products below for more information).

          A cookie is a simple text file that is issued to your computer when you visit a website and which stores and sometimes tracks information about your use of a website. Each cookie is unique to your browser. It will contain some anonymous information such as a unique identifier, the website name and some digits and numbers. It allows a website to remember things like your preferences or what's in your shopping cart.

          Although they do identify a user's computer, cookies do not personally identify users, and passwords and credit card information are not stored in cookies.

                External Links

                The Site may, from time to time, contain links to external sites. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and processes and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies and processes. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.

                Payment Processing

                Payment details you provide will be encrypted using secure sockets layer (SSL) technology before they are submitted to us over the internet. Payments made on the Site are made through our payment gateway provider from time to time, [including PayPal]. You will be providing credit or debit card information directly to such a payment provider which operates a secure server to process payment details, encrypting your credit/debit card information and authorizing payment. Information which you supply to such payment providers is not within our control and will be subject to their own privacy policy and terms and conditions. For more information please contact us.

                Security

                We place great importance on the security of all personally identifiable information associated with our users. We have security measures in place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of personal information under our control. For example, our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorized personnel have access to personal information. Whilst we cannot ensure or guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of information will never occur, we use all reasonable efforts to prevent it.

                You should bear in mind that submission of information over the internet is never entirely secure. We cannot guarantee the security of information you submit via the Site whilst it is in transit over the internet and any such submission is at your own risk. 

                Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.

                It is advisable to close your browser when you have finished your user session to help ensure others do not access your personal information if you use a shared computer or a computer in a public place.

                Data Retention

                We process personal data only for so long as it is necessary for the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected, after which it will be deleted or archived except to the extent that it is necessary for us to continue to process it for the purpose of compliance with legal obligations to which we are subject or for another legitimate and lawful purpose. Furthermore, the data collected may be stored to allow the company to defend itself in court. In such cases, only the data necessary to ensure full rights of defense will be stored. With regard to data collected through cookies please refer to the cookie policy.

                Storage of Your Information

                Information submitted by you may be transferred by us to our other offices and/or to the third parties mentioned in the circumstances described above. This includes staff engaged in, among other things, the processing of payment details and the provision of support services. The countries concerned may not have similar data protection laws as Canada or the USA. When we transfer your information, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is subject to appropriate safeguards, such as relying on Canadian approved standard contractual clauses relevant to transfers of personal information and that it is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.
