Conditions of Return
Please ensure the following conditions are met when returning your order:
Your return request must be submitted within 14 days of receiving your order.
After submitting your return request, your item(s) must be sent back without undue delay and in accordance with the instructions provided through our returns process.
Items should be unworn other than for reasonable fitting, unwashed, unaltered and undamaged.
Items should be free from stains, make-up, deodorant, fragrance, odours, pet hair or other marks or contamination.
Original tags and security ribbons must remain attached where supplied.
Any accessories, garment bags or other components supplied with the item should be returned with it.
Items should be returned in their original packaging where reasonably possible. If the original shipping box cannot be reused, please use secure protective packaging suitable for return transit.
Gift Cards cannot be returned for a monetary refund, except where required by applicable law.
Where permitted by applicable law, if an item has been handled beyond what is reasonably necessary to inspect or try it on and this has reduced its value, The Curated may make an appropriate deduction from your refund.
Where inadequate return packaging causes damage to or diminishes the value of an item, an appropriate deduction may also be made where permitted by applicable law.
Return Fees
For orders placed through our international store, The Curated provides a prepaid return label for $25 USD per return.
If you use our prepaid return service, the $25 USD return fee will be deducted from your refund.
The return fee does not apply where The Curated is responsible for a faulty, damaged, incorrect or otherwise non-conforming item and applicable law requires us to bear the return cost.
Return Processing Times
Once your return has been received, we aim to inspect and process it as quickly as possible.
Where applicable consumer law provides a specific deadline for reimbursement, your refund will be processed within the timeframe required by that law.
Where permitted by applicable law, we may withhold reimbursement until we have received the returned items or you provide evidence that they have been sent back.
Once your return has been processed, you will receive confirmation by email. Your bank, card issuer or payment provider may require additional time for the refund to appear in your account.
Exchanges
If you wish to exchange an item for another size, please submit an exchange request through our online returns process within 14 days of receiving your order.
Exchanges are subject to availability. If the requested size is unavailable, you may choose a refund or credit note in accordance with this Returns & Refunds Policy.
Items returned for exchange must meet the same Conditions of Return set out above.
We cannot reserve or guarantee the availability of an exchange item until the exchange has been processed.
Refunds
Refunds will ordinarily be issued to the original payment method.
Original shipping fees and duties, taxes or import charges paid in connection with the order are not refundable, except where reimbursement is required by applicable law.
Where applicable law requires reimbursement of standard outbound delivery costs following cancellation, withdrawal or return of an entire order, we will provide that reimbursement as required.
Any additional amount paid for express, premium or upgraded delivery will not be refunded except where required by applicable law.
The $25 USD prepaid return fee will be deducted where our return label is used.
Where permitted by applicable law, we may also make an appropriate deduction for diminished value resulting from handling beyond what is reasonably necessary.
If you choose a credit note instead of a refund, the applicable credit will be issued after your return has been received and approved. Choosing a credit note does not affect any statutory right you may have to a monetary refund.
Repeated Returns
We monitor returns to protect The Curated and our customers against fraud and misuse.
Subject to applicable law, we may restrict future purchases or account access where we reasonably identify fraudulent activity, wardrobing, excessive or abnormal return activity, refund or chargeback abuse, or other material misuse of our returns service.
This does not affect your rights relating to purchases already made or any mandatory statutory consumer rights.
Quality Guarantee
If you believe you have received an item that is faulty, damaged, incorrect or otherwise non-conforming, please contact Customer Care at hello@shopthecurated.net and include your order number and photographs where possible.
Faulty and non-conforming items are treated separately from ordinary change-of-mind returns.
Where The Curated is legally responsible, we will bear reasonable return costs where required by applicable law.
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, the appropriate remedy may include repair, replacement, price reduction or refund.
Damage resulting from normal wear and tear, accident, improper care or misuse is not considered a product fault unless applicable law provides otherwise.
Statutory Consumer Rights
The Curated's international store serves customers in multiple countries and jurisdictions. Statutory cancellation, withdrawal, return and refund rights may therefore differ depending on your location.
Where mandatory consumer law in your country, state, province or other jurisdiction gives you rights in addition to this Returns & Refunds Policy, those rights continue to apply.
Nothing in this Returns & Refunds Policy excludes or restricts consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.
