Transfer of ownership will take place upon receipt of the item. Dispatch Note: refers to the dispatch label generated from the Site when a Member sells one or more Items, which must be printed and affixed to the Parcel. In the case of a purchase, delivery is charged according to the weight of the Item (the amount is specified on the Site) and, in the case of a Trade-in, the Company covers the delivery costs so that the Member can send the Items free of charge. Customer: refers to a Member who has placed an Order. Parcel: refers to the package used to pack the Item(s) purchased or traded-in on the Site, in accordance with the packaging conditions defined below, accompanied by its Dispatch Note printed and affixed correctly on the packaging and which is intended to be given to the Post Office for dispatch to the recipient in the case of a purchase or to the Company in the case of a Trade-in.

The label must be legible and the parcel may be refused if the label is illegible, badly printed, badly glued on or torn. Member: refers to any natural person of legal age, non-trading, residing in mainland France, who uses the Site after registering (a valid e-mail address) and accepting the GT&Cs/TOS.

Trade-in value: means the amount indicated in credit on the Site for the trade-in of an Item at the time of entry on the Site, in the "I sell" section. The Member obtains an estimate of the trade-in value of the Item thanks to the automatic simulator which automatically estimates the trade-in value. The trade-in value is determined on the basis of various criteria, such as the year of collection and the condition of the item. This estimated price is then re-evaluated and (where applicable) validated by the Company within 15 working days from the date of receipt of the Item. ARTICLE 2. PURPOSE These General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use are intended to define the terms and conditions applicable between \[Paul Smith\] and the Customer relating to the purchase and Trade-in of Items on the Site.

If the Member loses their password, they can click on the "forgot password" link and their login details will be sent to the email address they provided when registering. If a Member fills in the registration form with one or more erroneous or incomplete details, they may not be able to register. The Member agrees to inform the Company without delay of any unlawful use by third parties of their identifiers. Members may, at their own discretion, change the personal details they have registered on their Member Account at the time of each Order, provided that these details are accurate and do not impersonate a third party. Members agree not to use their Member Account or the Site's functionalities to: \- create more than one account, whatever the circumstances; \- transfer their account and login details to another user; \- hack modify, disorganise, damage, manipulate or deliberately disrupt the Site or the invoicing process; \- disseminate false information, defamatory, insulting, slanderous or otherwise reprehensible information under applicable laws or regulations; \- harvest or collect information about Members without their consent or without the Company's consent; \- disseminate viruses or any other technology that could harm the Site or the interests of Members. ARTICLE 4. TRADE-IN OF SECOND-HAND ITEMS The Site offers a service which takes back Items directly in exchange for a credit leading to the issue of a purchase voucher. 4.1 Items eligible for trade-in Only Paul Smith Items may be offered for sale on the Site, it being specified that the brand label must be visible and that Items without a brand label or with the brand label cut off are not accepted. All Items offered for sale must be in one of the following conditions: \- New condition: with original label, never worn; \- Excellent condition: the item is like new with no signs of wear or defects; \- Very good condition: the item shows only minor traces of wear, imperceptible at 30 cm; \- Good condition: may have slight imperfections but remains in good condition. Items offered in a condition other than those listed above will not be eligible for Trade-in, such as Items with stains, holes, deformations, a cut inner fabric label or any other defect that would make it impossible to offer the Item for sale on the Site. Members are invited to check that their Items are free from defects and comply with the Trade-In conditions. It is also the responsibility of the User to ensure that the condition of the Item entered corresponds to the actual condition of the Item. **Note: it is essential for the Member to accurately and honestly describe the actual condition of the Items as Items that do not comply with the accepted conditions (new condition, excellent condition, very good condition) and have major defects that prevent them from being offered for sale on the Site will not be returned to the Member and will not qualify for any credit or purchase voucher.** 4.2 Trade-in value When submitting a Trade-in request, the Member assesses their item in the "Trade-in" section and receives an estimate of the Trade-in Value using the automatic calculator. The estimated Trade-in value is determined on the basis of various criteria (type, material, condition of items) and is generated automatically. This offer is valid for 15 calendar days. The actual amount of credit is confirmed by e-mail after verification of its actual condition, within 15 working days from the date of receipt of the Item. This amount cannot be negotiated with the Site. 4.3 Members' obligations relating to the Trade-In of Items When selling an Item on the Site as part of a Trade-in, the Member declares and guarantees that they: * are the owner of the Item; * have the legal capacity and all the necessary authorisations to offer the Item for Trade-In; * contractually agree to the accuracy of the information provided; * shall provide all necessary information on the quality and condition of the Item; * agree to respect public morality and public order in the description of the Item; * will not send counterfeit Items; * shall provide, if requested, the original copy and/or a copy by electronic means of any element of a nature to justify the ownership of the Item, its origin, as well as its authenticity, upon simple request from the Site, the Company reserving the right to verify the authenticity of an Item at any time The Member remains solely responsible for the Trade-in of an Item that is prohibited, violates applicable laws and regulations, public order, or decency. Members are reminded that it is forbidden to offer counterfeit goods, as counterfeiting is a civil and criminal offence and an infringement of the intellectual property rights of their owners. The authenticity of the Item subject to a Trade-in constitutes an essential quality of the Trade-in for Paul Smith and for the Member, which the latter acknowledges. 4.4 Packaging rules for the dispatching of Items Dimensions of the Parcel: it is the Member's responsibility to ensure that the maximum dimensions are not exceeded (the sum of the length, width and height must be less than 120 cm). Weight of the Parcel: this must correspond to the weight of the Item advertised and must not exceed 20 kg for delivery via relay points. The packaging of the Parcel must secure the contents and allow handling and transportation without risk to its integrity or the safety of the transport personnel. If a Member fails to comply with these packaging rules, the Carrier may refuse the Parcel at its sole discretion. The Member's Parcel may also be blocked at the Carrier's branch and its recovery shall be at the Member's expense. Acceptance of a Parcel by the Carrier does not constitute acceptance that the packaging complies with the rules outlined above. If failure to comply with the packaging rules results in additional transport costs, the Member acknowledges that they are liable to pay this additional cost or repossess the Parcel. 4.5 Dispatch of Items Currently, items cannot be dropped off in–stores or any wholesale partners. This policy may be subject to change in the future. At the time of the Trade-in request, the Member selects the dispatch point for the Items from among the relay points proposed. Once the Trade-in request has been confirmed, the Member will receive, via the email address given when the Member's Account was created: * a Transfer Note to be printed and inserted inside the Parcel; * a Dispatch Note to be printed and affixed correctly to the Parcel that they have prepared. **Items must be sent clean, otherwise, they may be rejected on receipt.** In order for the Item to be authenticated and eligible for Trade-in, the Member must print out the Transfer Note. This is available at the Item dispatch stage. The Transfer Note must be fully completed and signed by the Member in their own name to transfer ownership of the Item to the Company. It must include the condition of the Item and the Member's signature. Failing this, the Transfer Note will be null and void. The Item may then be refused for Trade-In procedure and will not be returned to the Member. The Dispatch Note must be legible, and the Parcel may be refused if the label is illegible, badly printed, badly glued on or torn. Members who have confirmed a Trade-in have 15 working days (following the email confirmation they have received) to drop off their Item(s) at the selected shipping point and ship the Item(s) free of charge using their own packaging. It is the sole and full responsibility of the Member to correctly and fully, truthfully, and accurately enter the information that will enable the Carrier to proceed with the dispatch of the Item from the sender relay point to the recipient relay point. A Member may be held liable if the information entered is erroneous or false and does not allow the Carrier to carry out the delivery service. 4.6 Receipt of Items The Site receives the Items within 4-5 working days and checks each Item within 15 working days of receipt of the Parcel. Once the check has been completed, the Member will receive an email at the address indicated on the Site at the time of registration: * a summary of the Trade-In request, listing the Items accepted and/or refused; * the Final Trade-In Value of each Item accepted. Accepted items are subject to quality control and repackaging by the Company's quality experts. They are then put back on sale on the Site. **Rejected Items are not returned to the Member and do not entitle the Member to any credit. At the Company's discretion, they may be donated to an association or recycled.** If an Item is refused for Trade-in, the Member can find the reasons for refusal in their Customer space. As delivery is carried out by third-party service providers, the Seller customer is informed that Paul Smith can in no way be held liable in the event of non-performance or poor performance of this delivery. In the event of a lost Parcel, the seller Customer must provide proof of delivery of the Parcel from the DPD agency or relay point, together with the weight associated with the Parcel. However, in the event of proven loss by the DPD carrier, Paul Smith will exceptionally compensate the seller Customer according to the weight of the lost parcel recorded by DPD up to a limit of £23 in credits per kilo lost per parcel on the seller's wallet. 4.7 Purchase vouchers Once the Trade-in offer has been validated, the Member will receive the credit corresponding to the Trade-in on their Member Account. If several Items are accepted, the Member will be credited with an amount corresponding to the value of all accepted Items. However, if all the Items are not checked at the same time, the Member may receive one credit per Item every few days.The credits are valid for twelve months and may be accumulated. The Member may use all of their credit at once for a single Order if they so wish and if the amount of the purchase voucher does not exceed one thousand (1000) pounds. The vouchers are valid for twelve months and can be used on the Site (second hand) and on website Paulsmith.com (new products). On the Site, delivery charges cannot be paid with a purchase voucher. If the value of the Order is greater than the amount of the voucher, the difference must be paid by the Member using one of the other payment methods offered on the Site or on website Paulsmith.com. A voucher cannot be used for an Order that has already been confirmed. A voucher cannot be exchanged or refunded for cash. All vouchers have an expiry date specified on them. ARTICLE 5. PURCHASE OF SECOND-HAND ITEMS Members can order second-hand Items directly on the Site, via the "Buy" section. All Items offered for sale have undergone quality control and repackaging by the Company: hand inspection by quality experts, wet or dry cleaning and ironing. Offers of Items are valid as long as they are visible on the Site, within the limit of available stocks. 5.1 Orders Any Order may be placed when the Member has registered on the Site and has a Member's Account, or independently of the opening of a Member's Account. Once the buyer has opened a Member Account, they can log in to their Member Account and add Items to their virtual shopping basket. They can then access the summary of their virtual basket to confirm the Items they wish to order and complete their Order by pressing the "Order" button. The Member must enter a valid address, delivery method and payment method in order to finalise the Order and effectively form the sales contract between them and the Company. Completion of the Order implies acceptance of the prices of the Items sold, as well as the delivery terms and times indicated on the Site. Customers have 48 hours from the time the last Item is added to their basket to confirm their Order. At the end of this period, the basket is automatically emptied of its contents and the Order is deemed to have expired. To enable Customers to modify their Orders or rectify any errors before finally confirming them, they may freely return to their shopping baskets. Without prejudice to the exercise of the right of withdrawal, any Order implies express and irrevocable acceptance of the price and characteristics of the Item described on the Site. The Customer (i) is informed that placing an order creates an obligation to pay and that the personal data necessary for processing the order is collected by Paul Smith, (ii) selects a payment method from those offered, (iii) accepts the General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use and (iv) proceeds to payment. Once the Customer has paid for the Order, it is definitively concluded (except where the right of withdrawal is exercised). The Customer will then be given an Order number, which must be retained by the Customer for the purposes of tracking the Order and any subsequent complaints. A confirmation message summarising the essential characteristics of the Order and containing the General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use, and the invoice and the withdrawal form will then be sent to the Customer (in the absence of correct receipt, the Customer is invited to contact Paul SmithCustomer Services). If an Item ordered by the Customer has ordered is unavailable on the Site, Paul Smith will inform the Customer by email or telephone as soon as possible, offering either to cancel the Order in its entirety, or to refund the Customer for the Item that cannot be delivered. In the event of non-compliance with any of the provisions of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Use, such as, for example, making purchases on the Site with the intention of reselling the Items on a commercial basis, or in the event of abuse of rights on the part of a Customer, Paul Smith reserves the right, either anticipatorily or retrospectively, and to take the necessary steps and proportionate measures to protect its rights, including in cases of fraud. 5.2 Items Items are those which appear on the Site and which are sold by the Company. Items are described on the corresponding page of the Site and all their essential characteristics are mentioned. The offers for Items are valid for as long as they are listed on the Site and within the limits of available stocks. Paul Smith cannot guarantee the permanent availability of each Item placed online on the Site, nor the absence of possible stock shortages. Paul Smith reserves the right to modify at any time and without notice the range of Items that are offered for sale on the Site. 5.3 The Prices of Items The prices of second-Hand Items are indicated on the Site in pounds, inclusive of all taxes, excluding delivery costs (which will be specified when the delivery method is confirmed), and take into account any applicable voucher discounts in force on the day of the Order. Under no circumstances may a Member demand the application of vouchers that are no longer in force on the day of the Order. Prices include VAT applicable on the day of the Order, but exclude delivery costs, which remain payable by the Customer, unless otherwise stipulated. Paul Smith reserves the right to modify the prices displayed on the Site at any time but agrees to apply the prices indicated to Customers at the time their Orders are placed for any ongoing Orders. If an Order cannot be fulfilled because an Item is unavailable or out of stock, placing a new Order at a later date will result in the application of the price valid at the time the new Order is placed. In the event of a data entry or calculation error resulting in a price that is obviously incorrect, i.e. a price that bears no relation to the actual value of the Item ordered compared to the price normally charged, the Order shall, in accordance with the provisions of the law, be cancelled and the Customer shall be refunded, unless the Customer wishes to place a new Order at the price normally charged. 5.4 Payment Unless otherwise stipulated, all sales are paid for in cash when the Order is placed. Payment can be made by: \- credit card (CB, Visa, MasterCard, American Express) via a secure connection; \- iDeal, Bancontact or Paypal depending on the geographical zones of the order. These payment methods are optional; \- or by voucher. Once payment has been confirmed by the Site's payment service provider, the Customer's bank account will be debited for the total amount of the Order. If a voucher is used, it will be deducted from the total amount of the Order. All transactions on the Site are secure and comply with the legal provisions in force: they take place within a strict framework of confidentiality and data encryption. The Company does not have access to the Customer's personal data concerning payment methods and does not store it on its servers. In order to ensure the security of payments, Paul Smith uses the secure payment service provided by STRIPE ("STRIPE"). This service incorporates the DSP2 security standard. Confidential data is encrypted on the STRIPE server and is not transmitted to the Paul Smith's IT server at any time. This standard is an international security standard whose objectives are to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of cardholder data and to secure the protection of card and transaction data. STRIPE ensures the security of the data concerning the Clients' means of payment. The payment request is routed in real time to the STRIPE secure remote payment manager, which carries out various checks to prevent abuse and fraud. When validating the Order, Customers must provide their credit card number, expiry date, and security code. The bank card details are then stored in encrypted format by Paul Smith's secure payment provider, STRIPE, during the actual payment of the Order until the expiry of the Customer's right of withdrawal, to allow for a refund by credit to their account, and then for a period of thirteen (13) months from the date of the transaction. After this period, the data will be deleted or made anonymous. Data relating to bank cards communicated at the time of the Client's Orders is used by STRIPE solely for the purposes of carrying out the transaction. The Customer's full bank card number appears when entered but only the last four (4) digits will be visible in the Customer's account for Visa, Eurocard Mastercard and American Express cards, with the others masked for security reasons. Adapting the law of evidence to information technology and electronic signatures, the online transmission of the Customer's bank card number and the final validation of the Order of Items by the Customer are considered proof of the sums owed for this Order. In the event of fraudulent use of the Customer's card, it is the Customer's responsibility to contact Customer Services immediately after becoming aware of such use, at +44 (0) 115 968 5821 or by email by writing to [customerservices@paulsmith.com](mailto:customerservices@paulsmith.com)**.** The Customer is informed that, as part of their order, the "Fraud Expert" solution is used in addition to remote payment processing and that his personal data is processed by STRIPE, the purpose of which is to prevent and combat fraud (determining a level of risk linked to a transaction, detecting and managing any resulting alerts, informing Paul Smith for decision-making by the latter, human verification of transactions presenting a certain level of risk, modelling the score). Personal data collected in this way is processed in accordance with what is specified in the Article below entitled "Personal Data". 5.5 Invoices When the Order has been processed, the Customer will receive by email a summary of the Order, the contents of which are as follows: * the Order number; * the number, date and amount of the bank transaction; * a detailed and exhaustive list of the Items covered by the Order; and * the method and cost of dispatch. An invoice can also be downloaded from their Member Account. Customers are advised to keep this document as official proof of their Order. 5.6 Delivery of Orders Orders are only delivered in mainland UK. Delivery is by DPD to the recipient's home address or to a relay point. The applicable delivery charges are specified on the Site. In the case of delivery to a relay point, the Customer must collect their Parcel as soon as they are notified of its arrival at the chosen delivery address. However, if the Member has particular difficulties in collecting their Parcel, they must immediately inform the Site by email or telephone, so that a solution can be found. For UK, the delivery time is between 2 and 5 working days The delivery time mentioned on the Site and in the Order confirmation email is given in working days (subject to stock availability), from the time Paul Smith sends the Order confirmation email. This time corresponds to the average time taken and is an indication of the time taken to process, prepare and deliver the Order to the Customer. Irrespective of this indicative processing time, it is specified that, the Order may not in any event be delivered more than thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the contract. In the event of failure to deliver within the applicable period, the Customer may, where applicable, notify the suspension of payment or rescind the contract, if, after giving formal notice to Paul Smith to effect delivery within a reasonable additional period, Paul Smith has not complied within that period (without prejudice to the award of damages and the possibility of immediate termination of the contract in the event that (i) the delivery date constitutes an essential condition of the contract with regard to the circumstances and terms of the conclusion of the contract, or (ii)Paul Smith refuses to deliver the Item or clearly does not intend to proceed with delivery). The contract shall be deemed to be terminated on receipt by Paul Smith of the letter or document informing it of such termination, unless delivery has taken place in the meantime. When the contract is terminated, Paul Smith shall reimburse the Customer for all sums paid, at the latest within thirty days of the date on which the contract was terminated. If this time limit is not respected, interest will accrue on the outstanding amount at the UK bank base rate plus 2% per annum, calculated on undisputed amounts, until full payment is made. Paul Smith guarantees the proper delivery of the Items and bears the risks associated with transport. However, "_receipt of the items transported extinguishes any action against the carrier for damage or partial loss if, within three days, not including public holidays, following the day of such receipt, the consignee has not notified the carrier, by extrajudicial act or by registered letter, of his reasoned protest_", it is imperative that the Customer, at the time of receipt of the Item, checks the condition of the packaging and the contents of the Parcel. VERY IMPORTANT: If the Customer notes that the Parcel or its contents present a delivery anomaly (damaged Parcel, missing Parcel, damaged Item, missing Item), they must: * make all necessary reservations on the Carrier's delivery note, before signing it (do not sign the delivery note with the mention "_subject to unpacking_" as this mention does not prove that the damage existed at the time of delivery), or refuse delivery; * inform Customer Services of any problem with the delivery of the Items within 24 hours of receipt, even in the case of carriage-paid shipments (without prejudice to the possibility, for the Customer, of sending a registered letter to the Carrier within the three-day period, in which case the Customer agrees to send a copy to Customer Services to enable it to conduct an investigation with the Carrier). Failing this, no claim regarding a delivery anomaly will be considered admissible by Paul Smith, without prejudice to Paul Smith's liability in respect of Items that do not conform to the Order placed or are the subject of a hidden defect. It should be noted that, in the event of a parcel being lost in transit, it may take between one and three weeks to investigate. In the event of an incomplete or inaccurate address or lack of information resulting in the impossibility of delivering the Item to the recipient in due time, Paul Smith cannot be held liable for a failure to deliver. Addresses with BP, Cedex, Camping, Armed Forces or Institutions will not be processed if they are not accompanied by a physical address. If this lack of information results in a second presentation to the addressee, Paul Smith reserves the right to ask the Customer for the costs corresponding to this second delivery. If the recipient is absent at the time of delivery, as part of the delivery service provided by the Carrier, the delivery person will leave a delivery notice in the recipient's letterbox. The recipient must then collect the Parcel from the address specified on the delivery notice, on presentation of the delivery notice and an identity document in the name of the person making the collection. In the event of the recipient's absence, Paul Smith cannot be held liable for failure to deliver. In any event, delivery can only take place if there is no dispute with the Customer, who must be up to date with their obligations to Paul Smith. Any risk of loss or damage to an Item is transferred to the Customer at the moment the Customer or a third party designated by the Customer takes physical possession of the Item. 5.7 Order tracking As soon as the Customer receives the Order confirmation email, they can track the progress of the Order and its delivery by logging into their Member Account and by checking any emails that have been sent. In any event, Customer Service can be contacted, by email at [customerservices@paulsmith.com](mailto:customerservices@paulsmith.com) or by telephone at (+44) xxxxxxx for any question relating to the taking of an Order and its execution. ARTICLE 6. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL 6.1 Withdrawal period The Customer has the right to withdraw from the contract for a period of 14 days from the date of delivery of an Article, without having to provide a specific reason for their decision to withdraw. 6.2 Notification of withdrawal To exercise their right of withdrawal, it is sufficient for the Customer to inform Paul Smith of their wish to withdraw before the expiry of the aforementioned period of 14 days, by means of the withdrawal form made available to them or by means of any other unambiguous statement. 6.3 Returns procedure A module for generating a returns label is available in the customer area, in the "My orders" section. Items being returned must be in the same condition as described at the time of purchase, without being damaged, stained, washed, altered, or worn (except for trying on), and must include all accessories related to the Items, as well as the original invoice, if possible in the original packaging or otherwise in packaging that ensures the integrity of the Items. Returns can only be made by post, in accordance with the following procedure: * The Member must affix the prepaid label to the Parcel (it being specified that the amount corresponding to the return dispatch costs will be deducted from the refund); * The Member must then deliver the returned Parcel to a post office or relay point within a maximum of 14 days from receipt. Upon receipt of the Parcel, the Company will objectively judge the condition of the returned Item. If the return is accepted by the Company, the Customer will receive an email confirming the refund, as soon as possible and within no more than 14 days of the date of receipt of the return in our warehouses. The Customer may be held liable in the event of depreciation of the Item resulting from handling other than that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and proper functioning (for example, for a fastener) of the Items (except in the case referred to in the paragraph below, the Items may be tried on but not worn). Underwear (briefs and socks) cannot be the subject of a right of withdrawal if their packaging has been unsealed and the Items tried on. Items are returned at the Customer's expense and risk (except where such return is justified by a hidden defect or the non-conformity of the Items delivered). If the Items are not received at the warehouse, Paul Smith will not be able to process returns. In any event, Paul Smith cannot be held liable for the loss of a Parcel returned by the Customer. In the event of Items returned incomplete, spoiled, damaged, deteriorated, or soiled due to the Customer's fault, Paul Smith reserves the right to refuse the return or apply appropriate measures to address the issue, including withholding reimbursement where applicable. 6.4 Refund On receipt by Paul Smith of the Item returned by the Customer, the corresponding refund will be made, standard delivery costs included, by crediting the bank account attached to the payment made at the time of purchase, within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date of notification of the Customer's decision to withdraw. The refund will be made by the same means of payment as that used for the Order. The Customer bears the cost of returns. It is hereby specified that if the Item is not received before the expiry of the period of fourteen (14) calendar days following the date of notification of the Customer's decision to withdraw, the refund of the Item returned by the Customer, including delivery costs, may be deferred until the earlier of the following two dates: * the date on which the Item is received by Paul Smith; * or the date on which the Customer provides proof of dispatch of the Item. In any event, no credit note, electronic or otherwise, may be issued by Paul Smith for this account purpose. 6.5 Exchanging Items The exchange or refund of an Item ordered on the Site is not possible from a Paul Smith shop. ARTICLE 7. GUARANTEES Paul Smith is liable for defects in the conformity of the Article to the contract and for hidden defects in the Article. These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable by any court or competent authority, that provision will be severed to the extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. Failure by us to enforce any of our rights or remedies under these Terms and Conditions shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies, nor shall it prevent us from enforcing them in the future.
