You will be guided through the process of placing an order by a series of instructions on the Website. You place your order for Items from the Website by clicking on the Purchase Now button at the end of the online order process.

Once you have placed your order, we will send you an email acknowledging the exact details of your order, providing you with an order reference and the total value of your order. This is not an order confirmation or order acceptance from By Told.

Unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or you have cancelled your order in accordance with the Returns policy set out in section 3b below, our acceptance of your order and the completion of the contract between you and us will take place when you receive an email from us notifying you that we have dispatched the Items ordered by you.

Our acceptance of your order will be deemed complete and received by you at the time and date of sending of the email, which time and date is specified on the email. The deemed time and date of receipt by you shall apply regardless of whether, for reasons outside our control, you have not received that email.

If you require any information regarding your order(s) please contact Customer Care on info@by-told.com

We may not accept your order if (i) an item you have ordered is out of stock, (ii) if your card is due to expire within 28 days of your purchase date (iii) we are unable to obtain authorization for your payment or (iv) if we identify a product or pricing error. We reserve the right to reject any offer to purchase by you at any time and at our sole discretion.

If we are unable to fulfil your order following our order acknowledgement, we will contact you by email or telephone advising you of this. See the Returns policy set out in section 3b below.

We will try to keep our Website as up to date as reasonably possible, but cannot guarantee that any particular Item will always be available. If we can't supply any Item we will release the funds being held in your account for the purchase.

3. Price and Delivery

3a. Orders

Currency: Your card will be charged in the currency you choose: GBP £, EUR €, USD $. Please note, the purchase currencies you can choose from may be restricted by your shipping destination. Prices for shipment to the UK will be shown in GBP £. Where shipment is outside Europe to the Americas – North and South including Canada– prices are shown in USD $. Prices for shipment to all other countries will be shown in EUR €.

The price displayed to you at the checkout is the price you pay. This will not vary later whatever currency fluctuations occur. Refunds will also be set at the price you paid not the price in the currency concerned at the date of refund.

VAT: If you are in the Eurozone and choose to have the goods shipped to the Euro prices will be shown inclusive of VAT (where applicable) at the current rate.

For international shipping outside the Eurozone countries, please note that customs duties are not included in the prices quoted. We ask you to please contact us at info@by-told.com to organize a purchase.

While we try and ensure that all details, descriptions and prices that appear on the website are accurate, there may be cases where errors 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 that product at the incorrect price. If an error in the price of any products that you have ordered is discovered, Customer Care will inform you of this as soon as possible.

We aim to deliver your chosen items to the place and person of your choice, in perfect condition and in the shortest possible time. Our delivery charges are dependent on your shipping destination. By Told cannot take responsibility for delays owing to customs clearance or payment issues. All purchases are insured by us while in transit until it is delivered to you. If you wish to track your parcel, please refer to the email you were sent containing your tracking number or alternatively email us at info@by-told.com and we will track your shipment for you.

Please order from By Told with enough lead-time to prevent any loss or disappointment resulting from the delivery time as By Told cannot be responsible for this.

If your order will not be delivered within the timeframe specified at ordering we will notify you and try to rectify the situation as quickly as is practically possible.

All new orders are deemed separate and each is treated individually.

As By Told online purchases may be delivered to addresses other than the billing address given by the card holder, for example as with the case of a gift being purchased and addressed to a friend, as a security precaution, an email and a copy of the invoice will be sent to the cardholder’s registered email address and home address, and we will require a signature upon delivery for all goods shipped.

3b. Returns and Cancellation

Customer satisfaction is always our top priority, and as such we handle each query on an individual basis to the best of our ability. While we hope that you are delighted with your order, if you are not perfectly satisfied with your goods we will happily offer you a full refund.

Please read our return policy carefully to ensure you can proceed with your request as quickly as possible.

All returns should be sent back to us in their original packaging provided. Please ensure when returning the parcel that the By Told box is properly protected with the plastic bag provided.

You have 28 days from receipt of order to request your returns number, which will be displayed online and emailed to you. Unsuitable items must then be returned within 14 days of receiving your returns number. Returns outside this window may be accepted at our discretion. The item(s) should be returned unworn and in perfect condition, with all By Told and designer garment tags still attached. Returns that are damaged, soiled or returned without their original labels may not be accepted and may be sent back to the customer.

To ensure your return is covered by our returns policy and does not encounter a delay, items must be returned using the original packaging provided and from the same country to which they were delivered. Items returned from a different country may incur additional charges or be delayed by customs. You can return using any secure means but we may not accept liability.

Before your parcel leaves our offices, it is fully checked and controlled by our packing team. If you receive an item which is damaged, please contact us immediately.

All pieces at By Told are handmade. Each piece will therefore be unique and customers should expect to see some minor variations even from the images displayed on our website.

Returning Goods

You will also have received a Proforma Invoice with your package. This needs to be completed and enclosed with the items you wish to return. On this form you will need to indicate which item(s) are being returned by ticking the boxes alongside the product details. You will need to complete the Returns Number section with the number you have been issued and sign appropriately. All successfully returned items will be only credited to the account used originally to purchase the items incurred and will be refunded in the currency in which you paid at the price you paid at the exchange rate prevailing on the day when you bought the item. For more information about our returns process, please see our Returns Policy or contact us by email on info@by-told.com.

Our returns policy does not affect your statutory rights in any way.
