General Terms & Conditions

This page (and any documents which it refers to) states the Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) under which you (“You/Your”) may use the Maru Swimwear website located at www.maruswim.com (the “website”). Please read this page carefully. By accessing and using the website, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not accept any of the Terms stated here, You must not use the website.

The website is operated by Maru Swimwear Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 02475744) with its registered address at 21 Bedford Square, London, WC1B 3HH. Our VAT registration number is 567945973. All references to “We/Our/Us” refer to Maru Swimwear Limited.

From time to time we may modify or revise these Terms (for example to reflect changes in technology, our business model, our system’s capabilities or relevant laws and regulatory requirements). We recommend that you should therefore visit this Terms & Conditions page periodically to review the Terms. In the event of substantive changes to the Terms, You may be notified by a notice on the website. Your order will be subject to the Terms in force at the time when you order products from the website, unless any change to the Terms is required to be made by law or governmental authority (in which case it will apply to orders previously placed by You).

Your use of the website constitutes your agreement to the terms.

The website is not directed at any person in any country where for any reason the publication or availability of the website is prohibited and Maru Swimwear does not represent that either the website or its content are appropriate for use or are permitted by the laws of all countries. We are sorry but we cannot accept orders from any person outside those countries.

Access to the website is provided on a temporary basis, Maru Swimwear reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the website, any part of the website and/or any and all features and sections of the website, without notice. However, where possible we will endeavour to inform registered users via a notice on the website or email; Maru Swimwear shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any such modification, suspension or discontinuance.

By placing an order on the website, you are making an offer to us to purchase the products you have selected on these Terms. You should therefore carefully check that your order is correct prior to submitting your order. During the ordering process you will be given the opportunity to correct any errors.

After placing an order you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. The email does not mean that we have accepted your order.

There will be no contract of any kind between you and us unless and until we have accepted your order. We will confirm that your order has been accepted in a further email (the “Order Confirmation”). The order confirmation will also contain full details of your order and delivery details. At any point up until then, we may decline to supply products to you without giving any reason.

You will be charged for the goods upon acceptance of your order and a contract will be made between you and us.

We store all contracts made and we recommend that you file these too, as subsequently the documents will not be accessible.

The price of our products will be as quoted on the website from time to time, except in the case of obvious errors. The price includes value added tax (VAT). Where applicable delivery charges will be added to the total cost of your product(s) and shown in the order total or notified by separate email prior to despatch.

We reserve the right to change our prices, from time to time. However, changes will not affect orders which we have accepted. We will verify prices as part of the order process and will contact you in the event of a mistake. If a product is priced incorrectly we are under no obligation to provide the product at the incorrect price, if the error is obvious and could have been reasonably recognised by You as an error.

The products will be at Your risk from the time of delivery. Ownership of the products will pass to you once we have received full payment of all sums due (including delivery charges) in respect of your order.

We hope you will be happy with your purchase. However, should you feel it necessary to return an item, we aim to make the returns process as simple as possible. If you are unhappy with an item, simply return it in the original packaging within 7 days of dispatch and we will give you a refund or replace the item.

If you have any problems with your purchase please see the Delivery & Returns on the website, for further help. If, in the unlikely event we suspect that your product may be faulty, we will ask you to return the product so that we may examine the product. If you are entitled to a refund we will notify you via email as soon as possible, and in any event within 30 days. In the case of a defective product we will refund the cost of the purchase price, and any delivery charges incurred by you.
