Terms and Conditions

The legal bits…

You are entering into this agreement with ASOS.com Limited (“we”, “us”).
We are a company registered in England and Wales, with registered address and HQ at Greater London House, Hampstead Road, London NW1 7FB. Our company number is 3584121.

All products we offer for sale on our UK website [www.asossamplesale.com (the ‘Website’)] are ASOS products.

 

When you place an order for ASOS products on the Website, your contract is with ASOS.com Limited.
When you shop with us , these terms apply. They’re important as they set out what each of us expects from each other, and they also give you helpful info. You can also find out more on our Help pages (which also form part of these terms). Of course, if you need anything else from us , get in touch with Customer Care – we always love to hear from you!
We keep these terms and Help pages updated and we amend them every so often, so remember to check back in before you shop, as the latest set will apply.

About You

To shop with us, you need to:

  • be at least 16 years old;
  • have a credit or debit card that we accept (see bottom of page for details of current payment providers); and
  • be authorised to use that credit or debit card (e.g. it is in your name or you have permission to use it).

Just FYI, some of the goods sold through our Website may not be suitable for under 18s.

Placing an order

Where you are buying a product, you will use your card to pay us directly for the product.
When you place an order, you should receive an acknowledgement e-mail confirming receipt of your order. We then carry out a standard pre-authorisation check to make sure there’s enough money on your card to pay for or towards the order.
We only accept your order once payment has been approved and we have debited the payment card (and then the contract is made based on these terms).
As soon as we start to process your order, you will not be able to change your order before delivery– you’ll need to cancel (and/or return original item(s)), and re-order.
All orders are subject to availability and confirmation of the order price. Don’t worry, if there’s an issue with an order, we’ll get in touch with you.
All products remain ASOS property until full payment of the purchase price is received by us .
Very occasionally, we may need to refuse or cancel an order or close, block or freeze an account (even if we have previously confirmed your order) – e.g. if we notice something unusual on an order or an account or if your order goes against unit limits as detailed on the product display pages of specific products. If your account has been blocked and you think we’ve made a mistake, please get in touch with Customer Care and they’ll be happy to speak to you about it.

Prices and product descriptions

There’s a lot going on here at ASOS HQ and from time to time our busy ASOSers may price up or describe a product or promo wrongly. If we discover an error for any goods you’ve ordered, we will tell you ASAP and give you the option of reconfirming your order (at the correct price) or cancelling it.

If we can’t get in touch with you, we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and you’ve already paid, we will refund you in full.

Prices include VAT (where applicable), but keep in mind that there may be other taxes that you need to pay which aren’t imposed by us.

Delivery costs will be charged (see below) and such additional charges will be clearly shown during the checkout process and included in the 'Total Cost'.

Delivery

Orders will be delivered by Standard Delivery. Please note that this is the only available option for orders placed through this Website.
Orders are generally shipped to your delivery address from a designated warehouse. If part of your order is shipped from one of the other warehouses in our global network, this part of your order will also be delivered by Standard Delivery. You’ll see your estimated delivery date at the checkout.

You’ll only be charged one delivery fee of £3.5 for all items, even if they’re coming from different warehouses.
Next Day Delivery, Click & Collect and ASOS Premier are not be available for items sold on this Website.


We work our ASOS socks off to try to meet all delivery times but sometimes there may be delays – e.g. because of postal/carrier delays, logistics or bad weather. We will keep you updated as much as we can and you should be able to track your parcel’s progress.
Please check out our Help Page for more info. Any problems with your delivery? Please let us know within 30 days of the date which your order should have been delivered and we’ll do our best to help you.

Returns and refunds

Check out our returns and refunds policy here .

Returning an unwanted ASOS product?

We get it, sometimes something just doesn't work for you and you want your money back. Don't worry, as long as an item is still in its original condition, we accept returns subject to the rules below, which includes rules around Fair Use.

If you purchased an ASOS Sample Sale item, you must create a return and request a refund for your item within 14 days of it being delivered to you. You must then ensure that you return the item to us within a further 14 days. Provided we receive your item within 28 days of it being delivered to you, we will issue a refund to your original payment method. Please note that a returns charge of £2 will be deducted from your refund amount. 

We aim to refund you within 14 days of receiving the returned item.

If you request a refund for an item during the above time frames but you can't return it to us for some reason, please get in touch – but any refund will be at our discretion.

This does not affect your statutory rights.

 

After that?

We don't accept returns for unwanted items after the relevant returns period above. If you try to make a return, we may have to send it back to you and ask you to cover the delivery costs.

Proof of postage

For ASOS products, we strongly recommend you get proof of postage and follow our returns process (for more information on how to return, see here). Our returns address is:
Clipper Logistics plc, Barlby Road, Selby, YO8 5BL, UK

Keep it clean

Hygiene and your and all of our customers’ safety is super important, so certain items can’t be returned for refunds including:

  • Underwear if the hygiene seal is not intact or any labels have been broken
  • Swimwear if the hygiene seal is not intact or any labels have been broken
  • Pierced jewellery if the seal has been tampered with or is broken.

None of this affects your statutory rights.

Original condition

All returned items should be sent back to us in their original condition together with the original packaging and all ASOS and brand tags.

Footwear – only try on footwear on carpeted floors to protect the soles. They must also be returned with the original box (if any) and any original shoe or dust bags (if any).

All items are inspected on return. Of course, it’s fine to try an item on like you would in a store, but don’t actually wear or use it. When trying on clothing please be careful with the item (don’t use unnecessary force) and don’t wear make-up, perfume, cologne, deodorant or antiperspirant as these can mark and leave scents on the item.

If an item is returned to us worn, used, damaged or in an unsaleable condition, or where the above instructions have not been followed, we won’t be able to give you a refund and we may have to send it back to you and ask you to cover the delivery costs. Alternatively, we (at our sole discretion) may choose to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of an item.

None of this affects your statutory rights.

Fair use

Where we suspect fraudulent activity and/or we notice unusual or suspicious activity, we might have to withhold issuing a refund and block you from making future purchases.

Such activity includes but is not limited to: claims relating to orders not being received, items missing, ordering and returning loads; an unusual patterns of returns activity; where we suspect someone isn’t just trying their items on, but wearing them for longer periods, then returning them; where we refuse multiple returns by you; or returning items worn/used and not matching what was originally ordered.

This doesn’t affect your statutory rights.

When we may withhold issuing a refund

We will refuse a return:

  • on grounds of hygiene (see ‘Keep It Clean’ above); or
  • if an item has been damaged, soiled , washed, altered or worn, or if the original tags or labels are no longer intact and/ or attached to the relevant item (see ‘Original Condition’ above); or
  • if the item(s) returned to us do not match what you received; or
  • if you have returned items after expiry of the returns period (see ‘Returning an unwanted item?’ above).

If we refuse a return for any of these reasons, we will not issue you with a refund and we will send the item(s) back to you. If you attempt to return a refused item a second time, we will dispose of the returned item in a responsible way and we will continue to withhold a refund.

In certain cases, for example where we have had to refuse multiple returns by you, or there are suspicious circumstances relating to the return, we might also have to block your account and any associated accounts (see ‘Fair Use’ above).

If any of the above happens to you and you think we’ve made a mistake, please get in touch with Customer Care and we’ll be happy to discuss it with you.

This does not affect your statutory rights.
