INSURANCE AND DELIVERY

You will own the goods on and from the later of the point in time when: (a) we receive payment in full, or (b) we deliver the goods to you. 

SemSem insures each purchase during the time it is in transit until it is delivered to your specified delivery address. At the time of delivery, the responsibility for your purchased goods passes to you.  Please note that unless a signature at delivery is specifically requested, you agree to our terms and conditions and, confirm that SemSem can leave your package(s) outside the premises at the shipping address provided by you without obtaining a signature for proof of delivery. You authorise SemSem to leave the package(s) at the shipping address without obtaining a signature and release and indemnify SemSem from liability for any loss or damage that may result from leaving the package(s) at your shipping address without obtaining a signature.

If delivery is delayed by any event outside of our control, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimize the effect of the delay. Provided we do this, we will not be liable for delays caused by the event.

OUR POLICY

Items should be returned unused within 14 days of receipt, and with all SemSem garment tags still attached. Returns that are damaged or soiled will not be accepted and will be returned to the customer.

Where provided, belts and any designer packaging such as authenticity cards, dust bags and leather tags should be included with your return.

All returns should be requested & confirmed before you send your item(s) back to us to allow for easy identification and prompt processing.

FINAL SALE

Items from our sample sale cannot be returned or exchanged.  Made to order, pre-order, and customized items cannot be returned or exchanged. Sample Sale items are all final sale.

REPEATED RETURNS

We offer a flexible returns policy to make your online shopping experience even easier. We do monitor the number of returns made by customers, and continued returns will be flagged and may, at our discretion, lead to the closure of your SemSem account or future orders being refused.

NON-SEMSEM RETURNS

Please be aware that we will not be held responsible for any items that are returned to us which were not purchased from www.semsem.com. This includes personal items as well as items which may have been purchased from other third party companies.

In such circumstances, we will charge you an additional cost for returning these items. Please note that we will only ever be able to return the items to you directly, and not to any third party or company. Certain items (such as passports, driving licences and bank cards) will always be sent to the relevant authority, bank or government agency directly and you should report any loss of these items to the appropriate office immediately.

We will keep non-SemSem items for up to one month, however we reserve the right to dispose of them as we deem fit after this time (which may include donating such items to a charity of our choice).
