All items purchased from republic.co.uk are subject to the terms & conditions set out here and on the additional pages listed below.
Please ensure you have fully read & understood the terms and conditions before ordering from the website. By placing an order with us you are accepting that you agree with the terms & conditions laid out and are bound by them.
Should you require further clarification on our terms and conditions please contact us.
We have made every effort to accurately represent the information and colours of products on this website. However, as colours vary between different monitors, we cannot guarantee that your monitor’s display will accurately reflect the actual product colour.
We will take every care to ensure that product information and pricing are accurate at the time they are entered.
All sizes and measurements are approximate and we advise customers to consult the sizing charts when ordering as fittings may vary, especially between different brands.
All visitors purchasing goods from republic.co.uk are required to register as a customer. This is a short process in which personal information required (see our privacy policy) will be collected in order to process the order quickly & accurately. When placing an order the customer must ensure that their email address entered is correct & their mail box is in full working order so they are able to receive confirmation emails that are sent once their order has been accepted.
Contracts formed between you (the customer) and republic.co.uk (the retailer) will be governed according to English Law, and as such, disputes which occur shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the English courts.
Please ensure when purchasing items that you are aware of the total purchase price. This amount will be confirmed to you on your confirmation email, and queries regarding pricing should be raised at this point. You are responsible for checking prices at the time the order is placed as prices are subject to change without notice.
Prices shown on the site are inclusive of VAT; however, you should be aware that an additional delivery charge is applied. The total amount payable, including delivery charge, will be displayed before the order is confirmed by the customer & the order is placed. Details of our delivery policy can be found on our Postage & Delivery section.
All products are subject to availability. If an order is placed and an item is not in stock then an email informing the customer of this will be sent & the order will be cancelled for that item.
If the item formed part of a multiple order then additional items on the same order will still be dispatched, and the cost of the out-of-stock item(s) will be refunded. If the out of stock item was purchased as part of a multi-buy promotion (such as 2 for £30, 2 for £50 etc.) then we will refund your card at the promotional price (e.g. £15 or £25) so that you still receive the remaining item in the offer at the promotional price.
The payment card will be debited immediately after the order is accepted. Therefore if any item is subsequently cancelled a refund will then be credited back to your account.
When an order is placed by the customer a confirmation email will be sent which acknowledges receipt of the order placed. It is not an order confirmation or order acceptance.
By placing an order via the republic.co.uk website or over the telephone the customer agrees to purchase the item(s) in question. Acceptance of the order takes place once the order is dispatched and a confirmation email is sent. The contract formed at this point relates to the products listed in the dispatch confirmation email, and Republic is not obliged to supply any further products (regardless of order time) until a confirmation note has been sent to the customer.
We reserve the right to refuse an order. Such refusal may arise from, but is not limited to, the following situations:
