We always aim to ensure that all details, sizes, colours, descriptions and prices appearing on this website are accurate, but from time to time errors may occur.

Where we have made an error in a promotion or the price of an item on our site, we reserve the right to withdraw the promotion or item from sale at the incorrect price and present it at the correct price. If you have placed an order at the incorrect price, we will inform you of the error and if possible, give you the opportunity to confirm your order at the correct price before cancelling the order.

Any additional charges are clearly displayed where applicable and included in the total cost when you check out.

If you are paying by credit or debit card, we will carry out a standard pre-authorisation check on your card upon receiving your order to ensure there are sufficient funds to settle the transaction. Goods will not be despatched until the pre-authorisation check is complete and authorisation has been provided by the card issuer. The Shoe Horn is not responsible for any failure of the card issuer to provide authorisation and will not ship your order until authorisation has been received by The Shoe Horn. By placing an order you confirm you are the authorised card holder.

If you order goods from the website for delivery in another jurisdiction other than the Republic of Ireland, or order goods using a non Euro denominated credit or debit card, the actual price you will be charged will be subject to the exchange rate applied by your credit or debit card company.

The Shoe Horn aims to provide you with a safe, reliable shopping experience. We therefore support Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode, which have the same principles as Chip & Pin, and which help to protect your card against unauthorized use. If your bank or card issuer has adopted this programme, you may receive a Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode verification page when you are shopping on the website. If you are not presented with the page but wish to register for the programme to improve the security associated with your card, please contact your bank directly, or search for Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode on the Internet for more information. If you are prompted with a Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode screen, and you choose not to register, your card issuer may not allow your order to be processed on that card. If this occurs, you will be asked to provide a different payment method to complete your purchase.

If you have paid via your PayPal account, your account will be charged at the time of the order, once you confirm your order on the website. If we are unable to ship your items to you for some reason, we will refund the value of the items that were not sent. This refund will be made to the payment method that you used for the order.

A gift card can be used for the purchase of merchandise only. A gift card cannot be returned or exchanged for cash. Purchases made with the card will be deducted until the balance reaches zero.

If the purchase price exceeds the amount available to spend on the card, the remaining balance can be settled via another accepted payment method. No more than five gift cards can be used in one transaction.

Gift Cards are valid for a limited time only. The card will expire if it has not been used for 5 consecutive years and any remaining balance will be deleted. Once deleted a card will not be replaced. Please note that checking a balance in store constitutes use of the card and it is not necessary to make a purchase.

The cost of anything you buy with the card and return to store in accordance with the The Shoe Horn Returns Policy will be refunded to the gift card. This does not affect your statutory rights.

The holder of the card is responsible for its security and lost or stolen cards will not be replaced.

If you are purchasing the gift card online, please pay particular attention to the email delivery address you enter as we cannot be responsible if the address is incorrect and the card is used to someone other than your intended recipient.

E-VOUCHER / ONLINE GIFT CARD TERMS OF USE

E vouchers can be used for online and instore purchases. Evouchers are available in Euro only.

An e voucher cannot be exchanged for cash. They are valid for 5 years from date of purchase. An e voucher will despatched by email as soon as payment has been cleared.
