1. Understanding these Terms and Conditions
When certain words and phrases are used in these Terms and Conditions, they have specific meanings (these are known as 'defined terms'). You can identify these defined terms because they start with capital letters (even if they are not at the start of a sentence). Where a defined term is used, it has the meaning given to it in the section of the Terms and Conditions where it was defined (you can find these meanings by looking at the sentence where the defined term is included in brackets and speech marks).
When we refer to "we", "us" or "our", we mean Open For Vintage Limited. Where we refer to "you", "your" or “Customer” we mean you, the person using the Services.
We have used headings to help you understand these Terms and Conditions and to easily locate information. These Terms and Conditions are only available in the English language. We will not file copies of the contracts between us and you relating to our supply of the Services, or between you and the Boutique relating to the sale of the products, so we recommend that you print or save a copy of these Terms and Conditions for your records (but please note that we may amend these Terms and Conditions from time to time so please check the Website regularly, and each time you use the Services to order products, to ensure you understand the legal terms which apply at that time).
2 Changes to our Website
We may update our site from time to time, and may change the content at any time. However, please note that any of the content on our Website may be out of date at any given time, and we are under no obligation to update it.
We do not guarantee that our Website, or any content on it, will be free from errors or omissions.
3. About us
We are Open For Vintage Limited and we operate the Website from the company’s operation in the UK. We are a company registered in England and Wales and our registered office is at Open for Vintage, 7/10 Chandos Street, Cavendish Square, London, W16 9DQ, United Kingdom. Our registered company number is 09684926 and our VAT number is GB 226 6963 80.
The Website provides an online marketplace for appropriately qualified sellers (including online sellers) ("Boutiques") to offer to sell goods ("Items") to Customers. The sale is directly between the Customer and the Boutique. The role of Open For Vintage is expressly limited to making the Website and Services available and maintaining the Website. Open For Vintage is an intermediary and not an agent for the Boutiques.
It is important to note that Open For Vintage is not responsible for the actual sale of Items and does not control the information provided by either Boutiques or Customers nor their acts or omissions. Open For Vintage is authorised by the relevant Boutique to conclude the contract on their behalf but we are not a party to that contract and you are not purchasing the products from us.
Open For Vintage is independent from the Boutique and Customer and no partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by the operation of this Website by Open For Vintage.
4. Services provided by Open For Vintage
The Services we offer allow you to search through the Website and purchase products from a number of Boutiques. As part of the Services, we also provide some ancillary services such as arranging delivery of the products and providing you with Customer Service assistance.
However, as stated above, the contract for the purchase of the products is between you and the Boutique. This means that it is the Boutique (not us) who is legally responsible for selling the products to you. However, Open For Vintage remain responsible in respect of its obligations to you in accordance with these Terms and Conditions which shall be legally binding, and in particular if you have any questions, complaints or requests for refunds, we can be contacted directly via our Customer Services Team. Contact Information is available here. Open For Vintage will remain the point of contact for the Customer.
Open For Vintage shall, if requested, provide intermediary services between the Customer and Boutique in connection with Customer Service or dispute resolution matters. In the event Open For Vintage provides intermediary services, then the decision of Open For Vintage is final and binding on all parties and cannot be appealed, challenged or reversed.
In order to use the Services you must be over 18 years of age. The Website is designed for persons with experience with, and who are accustomed to, buying Items based on photographs and the Customer represents having such experience.
5. Our liability to you in relation to the Services
If, in providing the Services to you, we fail to comply with these Terms and Conditions, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms and Conditions or our negligence, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable.
We do not in any way exclude or limit our liability for:
(a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
(b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
(c) any other liability which cannot be limited by law.
6. Products Sold via Open For Vintage
We attempt to be as accurate as possible in the description of the products. However, Boutiques are responsible for the accuracy in describing and pricing the Items on the Website. Open For Vintage relies on Boutiques for such information and is not responsible in any way for the description or pricing of Items on the Website. The images of products sold on the website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we attempt to display each product accurately, we cannot guarantee it or that your computer's display settings support showing the photography and product descriptions on the website clearly.
Open For Vintage sets a criteria for accurate descriptions and photography that Boutiques need to adhere to. We do not permit Boutiques to offer flawed products unless specifically stated in the product description and all products that are preowned must include details of any wear and tear. If a product is of a lower quality than described on the Website you can return it.
Open For Vintage will liaise with the Boutique on your behalf and you will receive a full refund of the price of the defective product, any applicable delivery charges and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the products.
Please see section 11-14 below for details of how to return products to us.
As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to products that are faulty or not as described. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions will affect these legal rights.
The products sold by the Boutiques via Open For Vintage are supplied for your domestic and private use only and not for commercial reasons. Neither we nor the Boutiques have any liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption or loss of business opportunity.
7. Boutiques
As referred to in section 2 the contract for the purchase of the products is between you and the relevant Boutique. We are authorised by the relevant Boutique to conclude the contract on its behalf but we are not a party to that contract and you are not purchasing the products from us.
Open For Vintage takes all reasonable measures to ensure only reputable Boutiques are listed on the website. We request that all Boutiques using the Website have and maintain reasonable business policies which comply with our business policies. We cannot, however, be responsible for Boutiques' business policies.

8. Orders, prices and payment
Ordering with Open For Vintage is made as simple as possible for you. The process is documented in our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section here and should you have any questions about it please contact us. Contact details can be found in the Contact Us section of the website here.
By completing the check-out process and placing an order, you are offering to purchase the products from the relevant Boutiques (and not Open For Vintage). All orders are subject to availability and confirmation of the order price.
To order products you must be over 18 years of age and possess a valid credit or debit card. By placing an order, you are confirming all details you provide are true and accurate, that you are over 18 years of age, that you are an authorised user of the credit or debit card used to place your order and that there are sufficient funds in the account to cover the cost of your order.
Prior to purchase, the Website will provide you with an order summary and allow you to check your order and correct any errors before sending it. Please take the time to read and check your order at each page of the order process as you are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide is accurate and that the products you are ordering are what you want (for example, size, colour, etc.).
(a) Formation of the contract between you and Boutique(s)
The identity of the Boutique is shown on the product description page of the relevant products, in your basket when the products are added and on the order confirmation page when you place an order.
Please note when you place an order, you will receive an acknowledgement email confirming receipt of your order. This email is only an acknowledgement for information purposes and it does not constitute acceptance of your order by the Boutique(s).
The contract between you and the Boutique in relation to the products will not be formed until the Boutique has accepted your order. Once a Boutique accepts your order, we will send you an email confirming this. If you have purchased items from multiple Boutiques’ you will receive multiple emails confirming or rejecting your order as each boutique must accept your order.
The confirmation email sent by us on behalf of the Boutique concludes the contract with you on behalf of the Boutique. The confirmation email will include a description of the products included in the order and certain other information about your rights to cancel the contract between you and the Boutique. Only products listed in the confirmation email are included in the contract between you and the Boutique.
(b) Pricing and availability
Open For Vintage works with each Boutique to provide guidelines for expected standards and accuracy of product information. Whilst we try and ensure that all details, descriptions and prices that appear on the Website are accurate, as this information is provided to us by the Boutiques, there may be cases where errors occur.
If we discover an error in the price of any products that you have ordered, we will inform you of this as soon as possible and, acting on behalf of the Boutique, give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you, your order will be treated as cancelled. If you cancel and you have already paid for the products, you will receive a full refund.
Prices include VAT if applicable, and that VAT is the responsibility of the boutique.
Delivery costs are not included and will be charged in addition to the product cost. The delivery costs will vary depending on the products that you have ordered and your delivery address. Please see the Delivery Information page for further details of estimated delivery costs and times. The delivery costs applicable to your order will be clearly displayed on the Website before you place your order (and are included in the "Total Cost" amount shown on the order summary page).
Depending on your delivery address, different taxation rules and additional charges may apply. If you have purchased items from a Boutique outside of your territory, you may need to pay import duties upon receipt of the products.
Should you require a VAT invoice please contact Open For Vintage Customer Support who will liaise with the relevant Boutique on your behalf to issue one. Please note VAT invoices are the responsibility of the Boutique and Open For Vintage cannot not be held liable in the event that a Boutique does not produce a VAT invoice.
We will notify you during the checkout process if import duties are included or you may have to pay them upon receipt of the products. If they are not included, neither we nor the Boutiques have any control over these charges and we cannot predict their amount.
You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes that are not included. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order.
Please note that in the event you return an item, the import duties will be refunded if they were originally included in the purchase price. If they were not included, then you will be responsible for reclaiming duty directly from your local customs office.
(c) Payment
Please see the "How to Order and Pay?" section of our FAQs for details of what payment methods can be used. When you submit your order, we carry out a standard pre-authorisation check on your payment card on behalf of the relevant Boutiques.
Products will not be dispatched until this pre-authorisation check has been completed. For information on when your payment will be debited from your account please see our FAQ Page here.
Once we have verified your payment details and the Boutique has accepted and approved your order for delivery, we will email you to inform you of this. In the unlikely event that we or the Boutiques encounter a problem when processing your order, we will email you explaining the problem and possibly requesting further information to try and resolve the problem.
We reserve the right not to submit your order to the Boutiques, and the Boutiques reserve the right not to accept your order if, for example, the product ordered is out of stock, has been withdrawn or is otherwise not available, or if we are unable to obtain authorisation for your payment or if you do not meet the eligibility criteria (e.g. you are under 18).
Payments will be made through Adyen (our payment provider), and payment will also be subject to any terms Adyen apply from time to time. If you use the Website you will be required to make/receive payments through the use of Adyen, a separate and independent company from us. Adyen may have its own fees and terms, which are different than these Terms and Conditions and and which are established by Adyen. Adyen's fees may change from time to time. Such changes in Adyen's fees (if any) are not within the control of Open For Vintage and we disclaim all liability in connection with Adyen's fees.
PAY IN 3 WITH KLARNA:
Split your purchase into 3 equal payments. The first instalment will be taken from your card when you place your order. The next two remaining payments will be automatically charged 30 and 60 days later. Don’t worry: you’ll get notifications when your payment is due and when it’s collected. There’s no interest or fees.
If you return any items on your order, your Klarna statement and schedule will be updated.
You must be 18 years or older to pay using Klarna.
If you have any trouble placing an order with Klarna, it could be due to one of the following reasons:
1. Klarna payments are subject to your financial circumstances. Klarna may have rejected your application to Pay in 3. We’d recommend choosing another type or payment or placing an order for a smaller amount.
2. You may have outstanding payments on previous Klarna purchases.
3. You may have missed a required field at the checkout, such as filling in your date of birth.
Please note that Klarna is an independent payment company and Open for Vintage has no influence over whether your payment with Klarna is accepted or not.
If you have any trouble with your order, please contact Klarna Customer Service.
Klarna payments on OFV are valid in orders placed in UK, USA, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Finland, Denmark and Austria.
9. Delivery
The estimated delivery date of the products will be stated in your order confirmation. We will try to ensure that your order is delivered by this date but there may be circumstances where delivery is delayed because of events beyond our reasonable control If this happens, we will try and arrange for your products to be delivered as soon as possible, but we will not be liable to you for any losses caused as a result of such delay.
Delivery times may vary depending on the availability of the products and your delivery address. Delivery times are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. The products will be delivered to you directly from the Boutiques so your order may be delivered in multiple deliveries.
If no one is available at your address to take delivery, you will need to contact the delivery courier directly to rearrange delivery. Please note, if you choose, via the delivery courier, to have your item left in a safe place, with a neighbour, or any other location, Open for Vintage cannot be help responsible should the order be lost or stolen.
10. International Delivery
Details of the countries we deliver to can be found on our Delivery information page. There are restrictions on some products for certain international destinations, so please review the information on that page carefully before ordering products.
If you order products for delivery to an international destination, your order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when the delivery reaches that destination. In certain countries we may use an importer of record to facilitate customs clearance and delivery to customers.
You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the products are destined. We will not be liable or responsible if you break any such laws.

19. Ethical sourcing policy
As a reputable and trusted business committed to offering its customers high quality products, we recognise our obligation to ensure that all Boutiques and other suppliers are operating ethically. We expect all Boutiques and other suppliers to consistently provide an environment which protects their employees' health and safety and basic human rights. All Boutiques and other suppliers are expected to comply with their national employment laws and regulations with particular regard to: minimum age of employment, freely chosen employment, health and safety, freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining, no discrimination, no harsh or inhumane treatment, working hours, rates of pay and terms of employment.
We will never knowingly allow a Boutique to offer its products on the Website if such products are sourced from suppliers which are in breach of these principles. We also look to the Boutiques and other suppliers to follow these principles when dealing with their own supplier base. Because of the sometimes complex nature of the Boutiques and other suppliers' supply chain, it is not always possible to monitor and control the conditions of each individual involved in the production of the products however, we will take action when we become aware of any breach of the above principles.
20. Other important information
Severability - Each of the sections and paragraphs of these Terms and Conditions operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining sections and paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
Waiver - If you breach these Terms and Conditions and we take no action, or if we delay in taking action, that does not mean that we have waived our rights and we will still be entitled to use our rights and remedies. If we do waive a breach by you, we will only do so in writing (signed by one of our Directors), and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later breach by you.
Governing law and jurisdiction - These Terms and Conditions are governed by English law. The courts of England shall have the exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute or claim relating to these Terms and Conditions.
Entire agreement - These Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between you and us and they supersede any and all earlier agreements between you and us.
Alternative dispute resolution - This is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. If you are not happy with how we have handled any complaint, you may want to consider an alternative dispute resolution provider. In addition, please note that disputes may be submitted for online resolution to the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution platform.
We and the Boutiques will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations to you if such failure or delay is caused by an event outside of our control.
