Down Arrow
Down Arrow

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING OR USING OUR WEBSITES OR MOBILE SERVICES OR APPLICATIONS (THE “SERVICES”), YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF USE AND ALL TERMS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THESE TERMS, DO NOT USE THE SERVICES.

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding legal agreement between you and Brooks Sports B.V. and its holding company (collectively, "Brooks" or "we") and apply to your access to, and use of, the Services or applications (collectively, the "Services"). These Terms do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with Brooks for products, services or otherwise. If you are using the Services on behalf of any entity, you promise that you are authorised to accept these Terms on such entity's behalf and that such entity agrees to indemnify you and Brooks for violations of these Terms.

Brooks reserves the right to change or modify these Terms or any policy or guideline of the Services, at any time and at our sole discretion. Any changes or modifications will be effective immediately upon posting the revisions to the Services, and you waive any right you may have to receive specific notice of such changes or modifications. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of changes or modifications will confirm your acceptance of such changes or modifications. Therefore, you should frequently review the Terms and applicable policies to understand the terms and conditions that apply to your use of the Services. If you do not agree to the amended terms, you must stop using the Services (which you may do without penalty).

If you have any questions regarding the Services or these Terms, please refer to our Help Section or to our Frequently Asked Questions. All other questions or comments about the Services should be directed to Brooks Customer Service.

1. Privacy Policy

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information about how Brooks collects, uses and discloses information about our users.

Please note that if you have allowed cookies on our websites, our Services may contain Google Maps features and content for address verification purposes during the checkout and returns processes. Google Maps is subject to the (1) Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service at https://maps.google.com/help/terms_maps/; and (2) Google Privacy Policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

2. Terms of Sale

All sales made through the Services are governed by our Terms of Sale. Please refer to these Terms of Sale for the terms, conditions and policies applicable to your online purchases from Brooks.

  1. Pricing; Orders; Tax.

All prices are shown in Euros or UK pounds sterling (except where otherwise noted) and prices should be displayed inclusive of VAT in Europe; delivery and handling charges are additional. All items are subject to availability, and we may limit the number of products sold in each transaction via the Services.

By placing an order via the Services, you are making an offer to Brooks to purchase products or services. Any order shall be subject to acceptance by Brooks and Brooks may reject all or any part of an order and discontinue products or services without notice.  If Brooks accepts your order, Brooks will notify you of its acceptance by providing an order confirmation. Following acceptance of your order, Brooks may carry out a standard fraud check. Brooks reserves the right to cancel your order if it fails this fraud check. All prices are subject to change without notice before acceptance of an offer by Brooks, and you agree that tax may be adjusted from the amount shown on the payment check-out screens. Several factors may cause this adjustment, such as variances between processor programmes and changes in tax rates. If we do change any of our prices, you will have the right to cancel any order you have made via the Services without any penalty.

You will be responsible for any applicable sales or use taxes (such as VAT), duties or other governmental taxes (such as import fees) or fees payable in connection with your purchase via the Services. Brooks is not required to collect and remit sales or use taxes in all jurisdictions. If you do not pay such taxes or fees in connection with a transaction via the Services, you will be responsible for such taxes or fees in the event that they are later determined to be payable. Brooks reserves the right to collect such taxes or other fees from you at any time following written notice to that effect (which may be made by email).

b.       Errors

We attempt to be as accurate as possible and to eliminate errors on the Services; however, we do not represent or warrant that any product, service, description, photograph, pricing or other information is accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. The images of the products on our websites are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that your computer's display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the products. Your products may vary slightly from those images.

In the event of an error, whether on the Services, in an order confirmation, in processing an order, when delivering a product or service or otherwise, we reserve the right to correct such error and revise your order accordingly (including charging the correct price) or to cancel the order and refund any amount charged. Your sole remedy in the event of an error is to return the product or service and obtain a refund in accordance with the requirements for returns provided in Section h (Returns and Exchanges) of these Terms of Sale.

c.       Discounts

Brooks may offer discounts or discount programmes, either of which may be changed or revoked at any time.  Discount programmes are intended for personal use only (not for resale).  You may not share discounts with third parties or make purchases for anyone other than immediate family members, unless the terms of the discount programme state otherwise.  Discount programmes may not be applicable to specific products or to sale items.  Discount programmes cannot be combined with other offers, including free delivery.

d.       Pre-Orders

We may offer you the ability to pre-order a product before it becomes available. If you choose to pre-order a product, we will not charge you until the product becomes available and we can complete your purchase.  Please note that a pre-authorisation charge may be required by your financial institution resulting in a temporary hold on your account on purchases made via the Services.

e.       Out-of-Stock Items

If the colour, size or width of a product you would like to purchase is not shown in the relevant drop-down box or list of options on the product's information page, then the colour, size or width is not available for purchase. In the event that the specific product that you would like to purchase is unavailable, please check our Services at a later time as our inventory of products is subject to change.

f.        Delivery & Handling; Export

You agree to pay all delivery and handling charges shown to you at the time you place your order. We reserve the right to increase, decrease, add or eliminate these charges from time to time, and you agree to check all charges prior to placing an order.

In general, we deliver all products by standard delivery, unless otherwise directed by you and agreed by us. Delivery and handling charges displayed during the checkout process may or may not reflect actual costs. All orders placed through the Services are shipment contracts, not destination contracts, so the title and risk of loss or damage to all products purchased via the Services will pass to you upon Brooks’ delivery of the products to a transportation carrier. Any delivery dates or times shown on the Services are estimates only and actual delivery dates and times may vary. You agree that you will not obtain or direct shipment of any product purchased through the Services for export.

g.       Payment; Credit for Refunds

Only valid credit cards and other payment methods acceptable to us may be used to purchase products and services through the Services, and all refunds will be credited to the same credit card or, at our discretion, other payment method. By submitting an order through the Services, you promise that you are authorised to use the designated credit card or other payment method and authorise us to charge that card or other payment method for the purchase amount of your order (including tax, delivery, handling and any other amounts described on the Services). When you provide your payment information, you authorise us (or a third-party service provider working on our behalf) to process and store your payment and other related information. In the event that the credit card or other payment method you designate cannot be verified, is invalid or is not otherwise acceptable, we may suspend or cancel your order automatically or invoice you via IBAN bank transfer. You are responsible for resolving any problem we encounter in order to proceed with your order.

h.       Returns and Exchanges

If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with your purchase from Brooks within the first ninety (90) days after your purchase via the Services, we will replace or exchange your product pursuant to our Run Happy Promise. General information and instructions regarding returns, exchanges and refunds can be found in our Returns Centre.

Worn or used Brooks products that you purchased from the Services may be returned within ninety (90) days of purchase pursuant to Brooks’ Run Happy Promise. To make a return within this policy, please visit our Returns Centre to initiate your return and create your complimentary returns label. The title and risk of loss or damage to any products returned to Brooks, whether or not worn or used, will pass to Brooks upon its actual receipt and acceptance of such returned products.

If a gift certificate, card, voucher, coupon or payment method other than a credit or debit card was used to pay the original price of the product you purchased, or if the purchase you made was part of a special offer that is not in effect when you make your return, we may give you a merchandise credit for the amount actually paid or the value of the gift certificate, as the case may be. After we have received your valid return, we will provide one of the following within a reasonable period of time: (a) an exchange of merchandise for the item returned for the amount actually paid, (b) a non-transferable merchandise credit, (c) a non-transferable gift certificate or gift card, (d) a credit to the credit card or other payment method used to pay for the product returned for the amount actually paid, or (e) a cheque returned for the amount actually paid, or (f) another remedy that we determine in good faith is appropriate in the circumstances. If you do not comply with any of the above conditions, we reserve the right to refuse the return or exchange, or to impose different or additional conditions, including (without limitation) basing our response on the current sales price.

To return Brooks products that you purchased from a retailer in your home country, please contact the retail store from which you purchased the product to determine its return policy. If the retailer is unable to assist you, please contact Brooks Customer Service at +31 20 214 4100 within 90 days of your purchase for return authorisation.

If you believe a product sold by Brooks has a condition or defect that might make it unsafe, please report this safety concern immediately by using our email form or by contacting us by phone +31 20 214 4100.
