Warranties and Indication of Product Prices

On clipshawaii.com, we offer for sale luxury and top-quality products. These products are purchased by CLIPS directly from fashion houses, manufacturers and dealers, carefully selected by stringent quality control. CLIPS does not sell second-hand products (unless marked vintage), flawed products or products of lower quality as compared to the corresponding standards offered on the market. The main characteristics of products are shown on clipshawaii.com inside each product schedule. The products offered for sale on clipshawaii.com may not exactly correspond to the real garments in terms of image and colours because of the Internet browser and/or the monitor used. Prices are subject to change. Check item prices before sending the relevant order form. Orders from countries not included among those displayed on the Help page cannot be accepted by CLIPS. All products come with an inspection label attached. Do not remove the label or relevant seal from the purchased products should you wish to return the purchased product. Should you decide to exercise your right to return purchased products, CLIPS will not accept returned products that are returned without the relevant label or seal or that have been altered from their original status or damaged.


Customs and Duties on International Orders

If you order from a country outside United States, upon arrival in your country the contents of your order may likely be subject to customs fees (taxes, duties, processing fees, brokerage fees, etc.), which are the responsibility of the person(s) receiving the order. These fees are not under CLIPS's control. For this reason we recommend you verify with your local customs office for more information about these fees before you place an order. CLIPS is unable to estimate customs fees, taxes, duties, etc. so please contact your local authorities or customs office for detailed information. Both the item prices as well as the shipping charges you pay to CLIPS do NOT include customs fees, import taxes, brokerage fees, or duties. Should you refuse your order at the time of arrival or should you refuse to pay the customs fees when your order arrives, the shipment will be returned to CLIPS and we will be charged the customs fees plus return shipping costs. If CLIPS has been charged for the above mentioned amounts (taxes, duties, processing fees, brokerage fees, etc.) the cost of the fees will be deducted from your refund for the returned items. CLIPS will not issue a refund for those amounts.

Payment of product prices and relevant shipping costs can be made only with a credit card and PayPal (US customers only). All details (for example, card number or expiration date) will be sent by encrypted protocol to Authorize.net or other banks which provide remote electronic payment services, without third parties having any access thereto whatsoever. Such details will not be used by CLIPS except for performing the procedure relevant to your purchase or issuing relevant refunds in the case of returns, in compliance with the exercise of your return right or for reporting cases of frauds to the police. For International order, please note that you may need to pay additional import fees, taxes, brokerage fees and handling fees to your local authorities or customs offices.
