2. Making a purchase

When you order an Item from ARAB-IMPORT.COM you are offering to buy it for the price stated, subject to these Terms.

You will be guided through the process of placing an order by a series of instructions on the Website. You place your order for Items from the Website by clicking on the Purchase Now button at the end of the online order process.
Once you have placed your order, we will send you an email acknowledging the exact details of your order, providing you with a payment reference and the value of your order that will be debited from your credit/debitcard. This is not an order confirmation or order acceptance from ARAB-IMPORT.COM

Unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or you have cancelled your order in accordance with the Returns policy set out in section 3b 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 notifying you that we have dispatched the Items 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, which time and date is specified on the email. The deemed time and date of receipt by you shall apply regardless of whether, for reasons outside our control, you have not received that email.

We may not accept your order if (i) an item you have ordered is out of stock, (ii) if your card is due to expire within 28 days of your purchase date (iii) we are unable to obtain authorisation for your payment or (iv) if we identify a product or pricing error. We reserve the right to reject any offer to purchase by you at any time and at our sole discretion.

If we are unable to fulfil your order following our order acknowledgement, we will contact you by email or telephone advising you of this. See the Returns policy set out in section 3b below.

We will try to keep our Website as up to date as reasonably possible, but cannot guarantee that any particular Item will always be available. If we can’t supply any Item we will release the funds being held in your account for the purchase.

3. Price and Delivery

3a. Orders

Currency: Your card will be charged in the currency EUR. The price displayed to you at the checkout is the price you pay. This will not vary later whatever currency fluctuations occur. Refunds will also be set at the price you paid not the price in the currency concerned at the date of refund.

VAT: If you are in the NL and choose to have the goods shipped to the NL prices will be shown inclusive of VAT (where applicable) at the current rate. If the country of shipment is outside the NL but within the EU and dependent territories prices will be shown in euros inclusive of VAT. All other countries are shown a price excluding VAT as no VAT will be due on these orders.

Delivery to countries that are outside the EU may be subject to local import taxes, which are your responsibility (where applicable). If so, the shipping company will contact you by telephone once your Items are in customs to let you know the cost or you pay at the door when the package arrives. Be aware that this may delay your delivery time as goods held at customs will be your responsibility to pay the necessary charges for local authorities to release the goods.

We deliver to over 170 countries, if we do not deliver to your country you will be prevented from selecting that country at the point of ordering.

We aim to deliver your chosen items to the place and person of your choice, in perfect condition and in the shortest possible time. Our delivery charges are dependent on your shipping destination and the shipping methouds you choose. Please refer to our delivery section to view timing and costs. Estimated delivery times are to be used as a guide only. ARAB-IMPORT.COM cannot take responsibility for delays owing to customs clearance or payment issues. All purchases are insured by us while in transit until it is delivered to you. If you wish to track your parcel, please refer to the email you were sent containing your tracking number.

Please order from ARAB-IMPORT.COM with enough lead-time to prevent any loss or disappointment resulting from the delivery time as ARAB-IMPORT.COM cannot be responsible for this..

All new orders are deemed separate and each is treated individually.

As ARAB-IMPORT.COM online purchases may be delivered to addresses other than the billing address given by the card holder, for example as with the case of a gift being purchased and addressed to a friend, as a security precaution, an email and a copy of the invoice will be sent to the cardholder’s registered email address and home address, and we will require a signature upon delivery for all goods shipped.

3b. Returns and Cancellation

Customer satisfaction is always our top priority, and as such we handle each query on an individual basis to the best of our ability. While we hope that you are delighted with your order, if you are not perfectly satisfied with your goods we will happily offer you a full refund.

Please read our return policy carefully to ensure you can proceed with your request as quickly as possible.

All returns should be sent back to us in their original packaging provided. Please ensure when returning the parcel that the ARAB-IMPORT.COM box is properly protected and closed.

The item(s) should be returned in 28 days unworn and in perfect condition, with all ARAB-IMPORT.COM and designer garment tags still attached. Returns that are damaged, soiled or returned without their original labels may not be accepted and may be sent back to the customer.

Before your parcel leaves our warehouse, it is fully checked and controlled by our packing team. If you receive an item which is damaged, please contact us immediately. Where provided, any designer packaging such as authenticity cards, dust bags and leather tags should be included in your return.

Returning Goods from Non-EU Countries

If you are living outside the EU, you will also have received a Proforma Invoice with your package. This needs to be completed and enclosed with the items you wish to return. On this form you will need to indicate which item(s) are being returned by ticking the boxes alongside the product details. You will need to complete the Returns Number section with the number you have been issued and sign appropriately. All successfully returned items will be only credited to the account used originally to purchase the items. No shippingcost, taxes and vat will be refunded. You must return goods at own costs.

Statutory Cancellation Rights

If, for any reason, you wish to cancel your order before your Items have been despatched, you need to let us know. In order to do so, you will need to confirm in writing to danielle@arab-import.nl. If you cancel your order, we will reimburse all payments received from you, including the cost of delivery within 14 days (except for any supplementary costs arising if you choose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us). This can only be done when goods are not shipped.

If you wish to cancel after the Items have been despatched, then you need to let us know within 14 days after the day on which you receive your Items. You can notify us by email as identified above. Once we have received notification from you of your wish to cancel your order, you will then have a further 14 days to return your Items to us. You are responsible for the shippingcosts and these are not refundable.

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of the Items, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

You can download the return form here.

Contact us for return adress.

3c. Discount Codes

You may occasionally receive discount codes from us, via email or through promotional materials.
Each code is unique to the recipient, is not transferable, has no monetary value and under no circumstances can it be converted into currency. Each code has an expiry date, which will be stated at the time of promotion or on accompanying promotional materials which cannot be modified. Some discount codes may be redeemed both in store ( at horseshow) and online, or when specified, for online purchases only. Again, this will be stipulated at the time of promotion and on accompanying promotional materials.

When an order is placed using a promotional code and contains a number of items, the value of the discount is spread over each item according to the pro-rated value of that item. Any refund of an item purchased in such an order will be reduced by the value of discount attached to it. The ‘discount’ will not be refunded.

Under no circumstances can the value of a discount code be deducted from an order if that code is defective or out of date: no replacement codes will be issued.
Only one discount voucher can be used per order.

4. Credit Cards

ARAB-IMPORT.COM allows orders to be processed online, using a valid credit or debit card.

Your credit card company may undertake an additional security check to confirm it is you making the order. All credit/debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses, or subsequently refuses to, or does not, for any reason, authorise payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.
5. Passing of property and risk
We will retain the legal ownership of the Items until full payment has been made by you and such payment has been received by us. Legal ownership of the Items will immediately revert to us if we refund any such payment to you. Risk in the Items will pass to you on delivery to you.
