If you are a trade buyer or acting in the course of a business please contact our Customer Services team.

For legal reasons we can only sell items via this Website to individuals aged 18 or over.

This Website is for use only by individuals who access it from the USA. If you choose to access the Website from locations outside these territories, you are responsible for compliance with local laws if and to the extent they apply. This site only ships to the USA.

We are an English registered company. If you do not understand all or any part of these Terms and Conditions, you may not place orders using this Website. Please contact our Customer Services team.

The Contract Between Us

When you place an order to purchase items using the Website this is an offer by you to us to purchase those items, this does not mean we have accepted your order. Our acceptance of the order will take place as described in sections 3 and 4. The contract between you and us is formed at the point we accept your order as described in sections 3 and 4 ("the Contract").

Contracts are concluded in English. Details of your specific Contract will not be filed by Hobbs.

Back to top

Acknowledgment and Acceptance of On-Line Orders

We acknowledge receipt of orders which you submit using the Website by sending you an email summarising the details of your order ("Online Order Receipt"). A contract is not formed at the point in time that payment has been taken from you by us, nor at the point in time that you receive an email from us acknowledging receipt of your order.

We accept your order for an item when we send you an e-mail confirming that we have dispatched the items in your order ("Online Order Dispatch Note"). For orders placed on-line using this Website the contract between us is formed at the point we send you the Online Order Dispatch Note for those items detailed in the Online Order Dispatch Note email. If your order contained a number of items and the email mentions only some of them, those items which have yet to be dispatched to you do not form part of that contract. Included in the Online Order Dispatch Note email is an order reference number that will enable you to track the progress of your order.

What is your Return Policy?

​

If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, you are welcome to return any items ordered (with the exception of items listed below and Hobbs Gift cards and vouchers) within one month, beginning the day after your order is delivered.  Items must be returned unused, in perfect condition and in the original packaging. Until you return items to us you are responsible for their safe keeping and taking reasonable care of them. We do not accept liability for packages damaged during transit back to us. It is your responsibility to wrap items adequately to prevent damage.

For reasons of hygiene, we regret that we are not able to exchange or offer you a refund if you decide you no longer want items which by their nature cannot be returned once they have been dispatched, including:

- Earrings which have been removed from their packaging
- Tights
- Lingerie
- Swimwear where the hygiene strip has been removed

We are also unable to refund Hobbs Gift Cards

This does not, however, affect your statutory rights in relation to such items if they are faulty or damaged when you receive them or if they are items that you have been sent in error. If you have any questions please contact our Customer Services team.

Please note that returns will be processed within 14 days of receipt into the  distribution center. 

Paypal orders 
Orders paid for via PayPal can be returned by business reply mail, or at any standalone store (excludes concessions) when you use the PayPal app to generate a unique barcode, for a refund to your PayPal account. Please allow up to 7 days for the refund to reach your account.

All refunds will be made in the currency used for the original purchase.
