PROMOTIONAL CODES AND GIFT VOUCHERS

If you are using a promotional code or gift voucher, please enter it in the promotional code box on the checkout page.  The discount will be calculated automatically.

SPECIAL OFFERS AND DEALS

From time to time we will make available special offers or deals, discounts or bundled products.  Unless expressly stated, no two offers can be combined in one purchase.

If a product is given free or at a discount along with a specified purchase and the paid-for product is returned for refund, unless the free or discounted product is also returned, the list price of the free or discounted product will be deducted from the refunded price of the paid-for product.

If a product is given free or at a discount on the basis of a qualifying level of expenditure and the paid-for product is returned for refund bringing the total spend to below the qualifying level for the free or discounted product, then if the free or discounted product is not also returned, the list price of the free or discounted product will be deducted from the refunded price of the paid-for product.

If a discount is given against the purchase of two or more items and one of those items is returned for refund, the refund will be calculated to ensure that the full price of the remaining product(s) is paid.

Discount codes cannot generally be used for the purchase of items on sale.

Gift cards cannot be used towards a qualifying level of expenditure

If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase you can return it for a refund.  Your refund will be paid provided that all of the following requirements have been met.  Postage will not be refunded.

2. Condition of Goods - The products are received by us no longer than 14 days after the day on which you cancel your order. The goods are in an unworn, clean and saleable condition with swing tickets still attached. The original packaging is undamaged and intact. 

3. Packaging and Post - Pack the item you wish to return in suitable outer packaging to ensure it reaches us in good condition.  Complete and enclose the returns form that is included in your package, not forgetting to fill in your name and order details.  It is advisable to use a tracking or signed-for postal or courier service.

GIFTS

Products purchased as gifts can be refunded to the original purchaser, or alternatively we can provide a credit to the gift recipient.  Gift exchanges will show on the order history of the original purchaser.  Please include a suitable delivery address for us to despatch exchanged products.  

EXCHANGES

We are happy to exchange your item for another size or colour, in the same style.  On the returns form, please fill in the details of the item/s you are returning as well as the item/s you would like to have instead.  We can only offer one exchange with free postage.  If you require an additional exchange you would need to pay for postage back to our Returns Department and postage out to you.

FAULTY GOODS

Faulty items will be replaced, repaired or refunded following evaluation by the Genus Customer Services department and in accordance with the terms of the Consumer Rights Act 2015.   Goods may be refunded, repaired or replaced if a claim is made within 30 days of purchase.  After this period and before six months have passed, Genus will either repair or replace the item.  Only if this remedy proves to be unsatisfactory will Genus issue a refund.  After six months, the onus is on the customer to prove that a manufacturing fault was present when the goods were bought.

Please note that items that are damaged as a result of regular, excessive or inappropriate usage are not considered to be faulty.

If a faulty item is to be exchanged, it can only be replaced for the same product in the same size, subject to availability. 

If a faulty item has been worn it must be freshly laundered before being returned.  All unwashed worn garments will be returned back to the customer.
