To do so, please follow the different steps of the purchase process by providing or verifying the information required at each step.

During the purchase process, you can modify your order at any time before making your payment.

The prices displayed on our Website are in euros and include Value Added Tax (VAT) but do not include delivery charges. VAT is charged at the rate in force on the day of the order.
  • 3.2 Blatant pricing error. If we detect a blatant error in the price of the Product(s) you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible and ask you whether you want to confirm your order at the correct price or cancel it. If we are unable to contact you, the order will be considered as cancelled, and we will refund the full amount paid.
  • 3.3 Delivery charges. Delivery charges are calculated at the time you place an order. Delivery is free for all orders over 100 euros.
  • 3.4 Customs duties and other taxes. Customs duties and/or other taxes may be payable on Products delivered outside the European Union. These duties and/or taxes are entirely at your expense. If you refuse to pay these duties and/or taxes, the cost of returning the Product to Cole Haan will be deducted from your refund.

4. Refusal to process an order

We reserve the right to remove any Product from our Website at any time and to replace or modify any content or information on the Website. While we always make every effort to fulfil all orders to the best of our ability, there may be exceptional circumstances, such as manufacturing, inventory, or payment problems, that require us to refuse to process an order after we have sent you an order confirmation. We may exercise this right at any time. In such a case, if payment has already been made, we will refund all amounts paid as soon as possible, including delivery charges, using the same payment method you used for the transaction. You will not have to pay any costs to receive this refund.

We shall not be liable to you or any third party for removing a Product from the Website or for not processing an order in the cases described above.

5. Delivery

Subject to the provisions of Article 4 concerning the availability of Products, and subject to exceptional circumstances, we endeavour to deliver the Product(s) you have purchased within the time period stated on the order summary.

However, delays may occur due to unforeseen circumstances. If delivery cannot be made within a reasonable additional time, we will ask you whether you are willing to wait until a new delivery date or cancel your order and get a full refund for any payments made.

If the Product is delivered damaged, it is important that you refuse the parcel and write down precise reservations on the delivery note. If you sign the delivery receipt without expressing any reservations and accept the Product(s), you acknowledge that the goods were received undamaged.

For the purposes of these Terms of Sale, delivery shall be deemed to have occurred, or the order shall be deemed to have been delivered, at the time you or a third party designated by you take physical possession of the Products. The carrier will attempt to deliver the parcel and, if successful, will send us proof of delivery. If unsuccessful, the carrier will attempt to leave the parcel with a neighbour or, if instructed to do so, will leave it in the safe place designated by the addressee.

6. Transfer of risk and ownership of the Products

You will assume the risk for the Products from the moment of delivery. Ownership of the Products will be transferred to you only when all amounts due (including the delivery charges) have been paid, or upon delivery if payment has already been made.

7. Information on your right to change your mind and cancel an order (only applicable to residents of the European Union)

You have the right to cancel this contract within fourteen days without giving any reasons.

The cancellation period expires fourteen days after the day on which you, or a third party other than the carrier and designated by you, have taken physical possession of the Product. If you have ordered multiple Products in a single order, and the Products are delivered separately, the cancellation period expires fourteen days after the day on which you, or a third party other than the carrier and designated by you, have taken physical possession of the last Product.

To exercise the right to change your mind, we use a third-party returns portal, through which you can request a free return label. When the Products are received in our warehouse and checked, you will be given a refund.

To respect the cancellation period, you just need to tell us that you have changed your mind before the end of the cancellation period.

Effects of cancellation. If you change your mind and cancel this contract, we will give you a refund for the Products you have received. We will not refund any delivery charges paid by you, nor any additional charges arising if you choose a type of delivery other than the least expensive standard delivery method offered by us, without undue delay and in any event no later than fourteen days from the day you tell us you have decided to change your mind and cancel this contract.

We may defer the refund until we have received the Product, or until you have provided proof that you have sent back the Product, whichever comes first.

We will issue the refund using the same payment method you used for the original transaction, without charge for you.

You must return the Product to the following address without undue delay and, in any event, no later than fourteen days after telling us you have decided to change your mind and cancel this contract. This period is deemed to have been respected if you send back the Product before the end of the fourteen-day period.
