TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALE

We accept Visa, MasterCard, Solo, Maestro, and payments made via Amazon Pay and PayPal. We charge for all items as soon as your order is accepted. Back-ordered items are also charged, but if they cannot be dispatched within 5 working days, we will contact you to either schedule a new delivery date or refund.

When confirmation of your order is received, this indicates that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you a confirmation of shipment. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.

If you place an order on our Website, then you acknowledge and agree that: f you place an order on our Website, then you acknowledge and agree that:
(i) Proswimwear will charge you through the payment method you have selected for your order and such other amounts that may accrue in connection with the order;
(ii) that you will provide valid and current information for (a) yourself and (b) if applicable, another person, but only if you have first obtained their express consent to do so;
(iii) if your payment is not received by Proswimwear for any reason from your card issuer, you agree to pay all amounts due upon request promptly and using the method that Proswimwear reasonably prescribes.

The price of products is calculated according to the rate of exchange between the base currency on our website and the local currency of the destination country at the time you place your order. Proswimwear reserves the right to update such exchange rates regularly at our sole discretion, and you acknowledge that such updates may affect product pricing on the Website. You will be charged at the applicable exchange rate in effect at the time you place your order via the Website.

For all non-EU destination countries, you will be fully responsible for paying all applicable taxes directly to the relevant authority (and for reclaiming them in the event of a cancellation of your order or the return of products, to the extent permitted in these terms) as determined by the authorities of the shipping destination country. Please note that, under the latest U.S. Customs regulations, customs fees for American customers are collected at checkout. Unfortunately, these fees are non-refundable if an item is returned, as U.S. Customs does not provide refunds at this time.

All prices listed on ProSwimwear are inclusive of VAT at the current rate where applicable. We reserve the right to alter prices without notice. For heavier items such as bags, fins and energy drinks, we reserve the right to charge additional postage at cost.

Percentage savings displayed on the website and in marketing materials are calculated from the difference between the sale price and the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP).

Orders made from the UK are subject to VAT. If we are sending products to an address within the European Union, prices are also subject to VAT. Orders sent to an address outside the EU are not charged VAT, although your order may be subject to local taxes and duties. Any additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you, the customer or the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict the charges. Customs policies vary widely from country to country, so you will need to contact your local customs office if you require further information. Under the latest U.S. Customs regulations, customs fees for American customers are collected at checkout. Unfortunately, these fees are non-refundable if an item is returned, as U.S. Customs does not provide refunds at this time.

They will enquire whether you would like the partial item/s sent out to you, or if you would rather wait for the full order to be in stock before dispatch.

It must be appreciated that Lycra is a delicate material, and life is very limited in chlorinated water. The strength of chemicals will vary; therefore, if a high level of chlorine is used,l this may degrade the Lycra quicker. The garment should be hand-washed in cold water immediately after use, as chlorine continues to affect the Lycra when left. Avoid wrapping the costume in a towel, and if possible, put your costume/suit into a mesh equipment bag where it can breathe; this is the ideal way to transport your suit home. Detergents/shampoo and shower gel will degrade Lycra quickly; therefore, we recommend that you do not shower in your suit or machine wash. We recommend the best way to dry your suit is to air dry away from direct sunlight, and do not use radiators or tumble driers. Sitting on a rough poolside can also cause damage to the material of the suit, so it is best to avoid doing this. If you are to follow these guides, you will be able to get more wear out of your suit, saving you money in the long run.
SWIM SUIT CARE GUIDE

It is the customer’s responsibility to measure the wearer correctly and to check the manufacturer’s size guide, provided on the ProSwimwear website. Customer Services are available to advise on sizing, but they cannot see the swimmer, or how the measurements are taken, so ProSwimwear does not bear any responsibility for the suit being the incorrect size.. It is the customer’s total responsibility for the size ordered.

If you have ordered a product that is currently on backorder. If the item is out of stock due to an error on our system, our Customer Service team will contact you to see if there is an alternative item you require or offer you a full refund for the item/s.

Once an item has been deemed faulty or lost as per our policies, the refund will be sent to our accounts team to be processed back to the customer within seven working days.

ProSwimwear runs promotions and special offers throughout the year. Some promotions have terms where the more you purchase, the greater discount you receive! Any items you may decide to return, we will only be able to refund you for the discounted price that you would have paid.

If you are returning an item to us, please include any free promotional items with it. We reserve the right to refuse a refund if the promotional item is not returned along with your qualifying purchase.

Only one promotional code can be used per order.

Pre-ordered items are excluded from discounts and promotions.

ProSwimwear returns department works in conjunction with our manufacturers. Our manufacturers want to be informed of any products deemed to be faulty; therefore, all items returned as faulty will be returned to the manufacturer for examination. Once the manufacturer and our returns department agree that the product is faulty, the item can be replaced or credited. ProSwimwear will endeavour to process this as quickly as possible, subject to the manufacturer’s timelines. However, if the item is deemed to be defective, due to the customer’s handling or fair wear and tear, then the item will be returned to the customer and no replacement or refund issued. At ProSwimwear Ltd, we offer a 6-month warranty on all products. If the item is deemed to have a manufacturing defect during this period, we will offer a repair/refund/replacement.

If taxes and duties are unpaid and/or returns held by couriers, then ProSwimwear will not be able to process your refund/s.

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is now UK law. The legislation aims to make producers pay for the collection, treatment and recovery of waste electrical equipment. The regulations also mean that suppliers of equipment like high street shops and internet retailers must allow consumers to return their waste equipment free of charge.

The amount of WEEE we throw away is increasing by around 5% each year, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the UK.

• Recycling reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending electrical goods to landfill.

ProSwimwear Ltd is obliged under these regulations to offer our customers free take-back of their WEEE on a like-for-like basis when they buy a new Electrical or Electronic product from us.

Customers must return their like-for-like WEEE item to us within 30 days of purchasing their new item.

Under the WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should now be marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol shown to show that they were produced after 13th August 2005, and should be disposed of separately from normal household waste so that they can be recycled.
