5. These Terms and Conditions, and any Contract between us, are only in the English language. Please note that we may not necessarily keep a copy of your Contract. You should keep a copy of these Terms and Conditions and your order for future reference.

In any event, delivery will take place no more than 30 days after the day your Contract is entered into.
2. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the Products cannot be posted through your mailbox or left in a safe place and/or if you do not collect the Products from an address notified to you by our carrier within the time period notified to you by our carrier at the time delivery is attempted, we may end the Contract and Section 10 will apply.

4. If you check out using your bank details, Paypal, or Apple Pay, you will own the Products once we have received payment in full. However, when you check-out using a payment instalment method, e.g., through a finance provider such as Klarna, then alternative terms will apply to you, further information on this is set out in Section 8 below.
5. Please note zipcode and/or postcode restrictions apply. Delivery times and costs may be increased where the Products are shipped outside the United States. Check your eligibility here here.
6. In addition, if you order Products from us for delivery to a destination outside the United States:
   1. your order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when it reaches the delivery destination.

2. If you are viewing Our Site from the UK or a country in the EU, the Product prices advertised on Our Site for Products located in the EU are inclusive of the UK VAT at the relevant rate chargeable for the time being. Additional delivery charges (which will include UK VAT charged by us) will vary depending on the Products you ordered and your delivery address and are shown separately during the checkout process.
3. We reserve the right to change the prices on Our Site at any time without notice, but changes will not affect orders which we have already accepted.

Because orders may be fulfilled from multiple locations across the U.S., the actual taxes charged to your credit card will be calculated based on the applicable state and local sales taxes when your order is shipped. We do not collect sales or use taxes in all states. For states imposing sales or use taxes, your purchase may be subject to use tax unless it is specifically exempt from taxation. Your purchase is not exempt merely because it is made over the Internet or by other remote means.

Details of how to report these taxes may be found at the websites of your respective taxing authorities.

We will normally check prices before accepting your order and if the price is incorrect, we will try to contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we are unable to contact you, your order will be cancelled. If we accept and process your order where there is a pricing error that is obvious and unmistakable and which could reasonably have been recognized by you as a mispricing, we may end the Contract, refund to you any sums you have paid under the Contract and require the return of any Products provided to you.
8. If you wish to apply a discount code or e-gift voucher code to your order, you must enter the relevant code during the online checkout process.

19. Arbitration Agreement

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. EXCEPT AS THE TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALE OTHERWISE PROVIDE, YOU AGREE TO WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS TO TRY ANY CLAIM IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

19.1. Agreement to Binding Arbitration

FOR RESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES AND CONTRACTS FOR PRODUCTS SHIPPED TO THE UNITED STATES, YOU AND KAREN MILLEN AGREE THAT IN THE EVENT OF ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR CONNECTED IN ANY WAY WITH THE BREACH, ENFORCEMENT, INTERPRETATION, APPLICATION, OR VALIDITY OF THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALE, SUCH CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND SOLELY BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALE (THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT“).

19.2. Exceptions to Arbitration

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of arbitration: (1) either you or Karen Millen can automatically bring an individual claim in small claims court in the United States of America, consistent with any applicable jurisdictional and monetary limits that may apply, provided that it is brought and maintained as an individual claim. Decisions regarding this Section shall solely be decided by a court and not by an arbitrator or via arbitration.

19.3. Jury Trial & Class Action Waiver

YOU AND KAREN MILLEN ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, MASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, AND THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO FILE A CLASS ACTION OR SEEK RELIEF ON A CLASS BASIS (SAVE AS FOR EXCEPT SPECIFIED IN THE PARAGRAPH ENTITLED BATCH ARBITRATION BELOW. YOU AND KAREN MILLEN MAY NOT BE PLAINTIFFS OR CLASS MEMBERS IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND MAY EACH BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD DECLARATORY OR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THE INDIVIDUAL CLAIM. To the extent permissible by law there shall be no right or authority for any dispute to be arbitrated as a representative action or as a private attorney general action, including but not limited to claims brought pursuant to the Private Attorney General Act of 2004, Cal. Lab. Code § 2698, et seq. This means that you may not seek relief on behalf of any other parties in arbitration. Further information on the Class Action Waiver to be found at paragraph 19.12.

YOU AND KAREN MILLEN ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, MASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, AND THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO FILE A CLASS ACTION OR SEEK RELIEF ON A CLASS BASIS (SAVE AS FOR EXCEPT SPECIFIED IN THE PARAGRAPH ENTITLED BATCH ARBITRATION BELOW. YOU AND KAREN MILLEN MAY NOT BE PLAINTIFFS OR CLASS MEMBERS IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND MAY EACH BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY.

Lab. Code § 2698, et seq. This means that you may not seek relief on behalf of any other parties in arbitration. Further information on the Class Action Waiver to be found at paragraph 19.12.

Notwithstanding the above if any arbitrator determines that any term in paragraph 19.4 is unenforceable for any reason as to any claim, including without limitation for a “private attorney general action,” then the Arbitration Agreement will be inapplicable to that claim and that claim will instead proceed through litigation in court rather than by arbitration, but only after the conclusion of the arbitration of any claim or dispute that is subject to the Arbitration Agreement.

19.4. Governing Law & Arbitration Rules

The Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and thus the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA“), will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 19. If the FAA is found not to apply to any issue that arises under this section or the enforcement of the Arbitration Agreement, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the State of Delaware.

The arbitration will be conducted under the then current and applicable consumer arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA“). The AAA rules are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.

19.5. Informal Dispute Resolution

You and Karen Millen agree to try and resolve any dispute informally before resorting to arbitration. You and Karen Millen therefore agree that before either party commences arbitration against the other (or initiates an action in small claims court if a party so elects), we will personally meet and confer either via telephone or video call in a good faith effort to resolve informally any dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement (“Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference but you will also participate in the conference. The Party initiating the dispute must give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference (“Notice”) which shall occur within 45 days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties. Notice to Karen Millen that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent via email to legal@boohoo.com or regular mail to 49/51 Dale Street, Manchester, M1 2HF. Notice to you will be sent to the address or email address associated with your account. The Notice must include (1) your name, telephone number, mailing address, e-mail address associated with your account, (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address and email address of your counsel, if any; and (3) a description of your Dispute. The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualised such that a separate conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm, or group of law firms represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree. Engaging in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference is a conditions precedent and requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the Parties engage in the Informal Dispute resolution Conference required by this section.

19.6. Initiating Arbitration

Prior to initiating an arbitration, a party must first send a further written notice to the other party. If you intend to seek arbitration you must first send notice by international mail to Karen Millen.com Limited, c/o Legal Team, 49/51 Dale Street, Manchester, M1 2HF England. The notice shall be individual and not for the claims of any other person, and must include your full name, your entire factual, legal claim, the requested relief and an express authorization to bring the arbitration demand. Karen Millen shall send a Notice to the current billing address on your account by international mail. The Notice shall describe the nature and basis of the claim and the specific relief sought. If the parties cannot reach a settlement within 30 days from the receipt of the Notice, either party may initiate arbitration proceedings.

A form to initiate arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA site at www.adr.org. In addition to filing this form with the AAA, the party initiating the arbitration must post a copy of the completed form to the opposing party. You may send such copy to Karen Millen at Karen Millen.com Limited, c/o Legal Team, 49/51 Dale Street, Manchester, M1 2HF England, and Karen Millen will send such copy to the current billing address or email address on your account or to your counsel, if you so instruct.

19.7. Fees

You will pay the individual portion of the arbitration filing fee specified in the rules of the AAA. Karen Millen will pay the business portion of the required filing fees, and all administration and arbitrator fees (collectively, your and Karen Millen ’s fees, “Arbitration Fees“).

19.8. Location & Procedure

If your claim is for $10,000 (US Dollars) or less, you may choose to have arbitration conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, via a telephone hearing, by an in-person hearing in the county of your residence, or as otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties. If your claim exceeds $10,000 (US Dollars), the location of the arbitration and the parties’ right to a hearing will be determined in accordance with the rules of the AAA.

19.9. Arbitrator’s Decision

The arbitrator’s award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. If you prevail in arbitration, you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. Karen Millen shall have the right to seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration for claims deemed frivolous by the arbitrator. If Karen Millen makes an offer of judgment not less than 10 days prior to the arbitration, if an arbitrator’s monetary award against Karen Millen does not match or exceed Karen Millen ’s offer, you agree to pay Karen Millen ’s legal fees and expenses for the arbitration.

19.10. Choice of Law, Forum Selection, & Jury Waiver

Except as set forth in this Section 19, all matters relating to all matters arising out of or related to these Terms & Conditions of Sale, will be governed by the applicable laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to Delaware choice of law principles. Unless you and Karen Millen agree otherwise, in the event that it is determined or these Terms & Conditions of Sale provide that a claim should not proceed through arbitration, you agree that any claim or dispute (with the exception of a claim or dispute appropriately lodged in any small claims court in the United States of America) shall be resolved in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and you submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court. If subject matter jurisdiction (including diversity jurisdiction) does not exist in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware for any such claim, then the exclusive forum and venue for any such action shall be the courts of the State of Delaware located in New Castle County, and you submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court. As to any proceeding in court, you and Karen Millen both waive your right to a jury trial, unless such waiver is unenforceable. The choice-of-law and forum-selection provisions in this section do not apply to the Arbitration Agreement or to any arbitrable disputes as provided by the Arbitration Agreement section. Instead, as provided in the Arbitration Agreement section, the FAA shall apply to any such disputes.

19.11. The choice-of-law and forum-selection provisions in this section do not apply to the Arbitration Agreement or to any arbitrable disputes as provided by the Arbitration Agreement section. Instead, as provided in the Arbitration Agreement section, the FAA shall apply to any such disputes.

19.12. Class Action Waiver

You acknowledge and agree that any and all disputes, claims, or controversies between the parties shall be resolved only in individual arbitration. You expressly waive the right to have any dispute, claim, or controversy brought, heard, administered, resolved, or arbitrated as a class, collective, coordinated, consolidated, and/or representative action, and neither an arbitrator nor an arbitration provider shall have any authority to hear, arbitrate, or administer any class, collective, coordinated, consolidated, and/or representative action, or to award relief to anyone but the individual in arbitration (“Class Action Waiver”). The parties also expressly waive the right to seek, recover, or obtain any non-individual relief. Notwithstanding anything else in this agreement, this Class Action Waiver does not prevent you or Karen Millen from participating in a classwide, collective, and/or representative settlement of claims as set out in Section 19.14.

The parties further agree that if for any reason a claim does not proceed in arbitration, this Class Action Waiver shall remain in effect, and a court may not preside over any action joining, coordinating, or consolidating the claims of multiple individuals against Karen Millen in a single proceeding, except that this Class Action Waiver shall not prevent you or Karen Millen from participating in a classwide, collective, and/or representative settlement of claims as set out in 19.14. If it is determined that any portion of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (i) any class, collective, coordinated, consolidated, and/or representative claims subject to the unenforceable or unlawful portion(s) shall proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction; (ii) the portion of the Class Action Waiver that is enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration; (iii) the unenforceable or unlawful portion(s) shall be severed from this Arbitration Agreement; and (iv) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful portion(s) shall have no impact whatsoever on the enforceability, applicability, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or the arbitrability of any remaining claims asserted by you or Karen Millen.

19.13. Batching:

If 100 of more customers initiate Notices of dispute (including Informal Dispute Resolution) with Karen Millen raising similar claims within a 30 day period and counsel for the Karen Millen customers bringing the claims are the same, or coordinated with these customers, the claims shall proceed in arbitration in a coordinated proceeding. Counsel for You and counsel for Karen Millen shall each select 5 cases to proceed first in arbitration in a bellwether proceeding (“Bellwether Proceeding”). The remaining cases shall not be filed in arbitration until the first 10 have been resolved. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of the Bellwether Proceeding, each side may select another 5 cases to proceed to arbitration for a second Bellwether Proceeding. This process may continue until the parties are able to resolve all of the claims either through settlement or arbitration. A court will have authority to enforce this clause and if necessary to enjoin the mass filing of arbitration demands against Karen Millen.

An arbitration award and any judgment confirming it apply only to that specific case; it cannot be used in any other case except to enforce the award itself.

If for some reason the prohibition on class arbitrations as set out above cannot be enforced as to all or part of the dispute then the agreement to arbitrate will not apply to that dispute or part of the dispute.

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, such as pursuant to Section 19.3. You and Karen Millen agree that there will not be a jury trial. You and Karen Millen unconditionally waive any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counter claim arising out of or relating to this Arbitration Agreement in any way. In the event of litigation, this Section may be filed to show a written consent to a trial by the court.
