By accessing this website you agree to these terms and conditions. If you do not agree to them then please do not use this website. We reserve the right to change these terms and conditions from time to time and any such changes will be effective from the time they are published on our website. It is the responsibility of each customer to familiarise themselves with these terms and conditions before placing an order or using our website.
By placing an order (though our website / by telephone) you agree that all information provided is correct and complete. All orders are subject to approval and product availability.
Once you have placed an order we will send you email confirmation with details on goods ordered, cost (including VAT and postage) and delivery details. It will also include details on how to contact us for edits to your order. You must check that all the details on this email confirmation are correct and contact us as soon as possible if any details are incorrect.
Please note the email confirmation is only an acknowledgement of your order; it does not form a binding contract. No contract for the sale of any product will exist between you and our company until we accept your order by dispatching the goods to you, notwithstanding that we have sent an email confirmation.
We reserve the right not to accept any order. If we cannot process your order we will inform you via email or telephone, and advise why. Possible causes for our non-acceptance of your order may be due to one of the following:
You may only buy products from us for your own personal use or for gifts. You warrant that products purchased are not being purchased for commercial resale and such reselling is specifically prohibited.
Unless we have informed you that we cannot accept your order or you have cancelled your order (in accordance with Order Cancellation set out below), our acceptance of your order and the completion of the contract between you and us will take place when you receive an email from us stating that we have dispatched the goods ordered by you.
Our acceptance of your order will be deemed complete and received by you at the time and date of sending of the email, regardless of whether, for reasons outside our control, you have not received that email.
You can cancel your order in accordance with your rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. This allows you to cancel your contract with us and receive a refund if you change your mind about the goods you have ordered.
To cancel an order before it has been dispatched (and you have received email confirmation of dispatch). Please quote your order number and:
Email us: order(at)runandbecome.com
or
Telephone us on: 0207 2221314
To cancel an order after dispatch you must complete the returns form and return the goods in their original condition. For orders delivered within the UK we will supply a free returns label* for Royal Mail, and you can drop-off the parcel at any post office. If you choose to return the goods via another method this will be at your own cost. You can also return the goods to our branch.
If the goods are in transit at the time you decide to cancel you order, you may refuse delivery or receive it and follow the steps laid out above.
You may cancel an order up to 28 days after the order has been delivered. The goods must be returned to us within these 28 days. Cancelled orders will be refunded via the original method of payment within 5 days of return, as long as the goods are in their original condition.
*Free returns is not available for Garmin monitors. If you wish to cancel your order for such, you must cover the cost of return yourself. We cannot be held responsible for returned goods that become lost in transit, therefore we strongly recommend you choose a guaranteed and insured postage option.
Our website only shows stock that we hold. However, on rare occasions we may be unable to fulfil an order due to stock inaccuracies or an issue with the goods. In such circumstances we will contact you as soon as possible and offer any of the following: an alternative product, cancellation of the order, the option to wait until the product comes back into stock.
Our website shares stock with our shop. Everything advertised on our website is available in our branch. All orders will be dispatched from the shop and some of our shoes will have been tried on during a shoe fitting process.
We will take all reasonable care to ensure that all details, description and prices of products appearing on our website are correct. We reserve the right to refuse orders where the product’s information is incorrect, including prices. All sizes are approximate, although we make every effort to ensure accuracy and provide sizing scales where appropriate.
Product images are as accurate as possible, but due to a number of factors out of our control (such as internet browsers and monitor controls) we cannot be held liable for any differences in appearance between the image and the product itself.
Within the UK, all prices are displayed in UK Pounds Sterling and inclusive of VAT where applicable. When browsing our site outside of the UK, you may choose whether to view prices in your local currency or Pounds Sterling. At any time you may see prices in another currency by selecting the appropriate country at the top of our website.
We reserve the right to adjust prices and offers at our discretion.
You are responsible for ensuring the information you enter when creating an account and/or placing an order on our website is correct. If you provide incorrect information you will be responsible for the costs in resolving the matter. We will not take responsibility for goods delivered to an address supplied by you but which is incorrect.
You agree not to impersonate any other person or entity, or to use a false name or a name that you are not authorised to use.
Full payment for the goods and delivery must be received before we can accept an order. For payments by credit/debit card we take payment from your card at the time we dispatch your order, once your card details have been validated. All credit and debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by their card issuer. By using a card to pay for your order you confirm that you are the authorised card holder. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorise payment to us, we will not fulfil your order and will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery of your order.
If we are unable to fulfil your order due to stock shortages, we will not take payment from your credit/debit card and will cancel the reservation of funds request initiated by your order. Your card issuer should then return any reserved funds to you.
You may not use more than one offer/promotion per order. Offers and promotions are not valid in conjunction with any other offers, discounts or sale products unless they specifically state otherwise. Gift cards and nutrition products are excluded from all offers and promotions.
Discount codes cannot be applied to orders already placed.

For the purposes of the contract, the customer is the importer of record for goods, and as such takes on responsibility for payment of VAT and import duties. Please note our company pays all import and VAT duties on your behalf when dispatching your order. However, in the event of any underpayment in import and VAT duties, it is your overall responsibility to ensure any additional payment is made.
