In order to place an order on our Websites, you must: 1. be 16 years of age or older 2. be a consumer - not a reseller
You need an e-mail address to place an order, and you need to set your browser to accept both cookies and pop-ups in order to make full use of the Websites, which includes designing items, adding items to your shopping cart and checking out from our stores.
Placing an order on the Websites is easy.
You are bound by your order once you have clicked the "Submit order" button at the end of the ordering process. By clicking the "Submit order" button, you send your order to us as it is displayed in the final check out screen. Once we have received your order, an automated confirmation of receipt will be displayed on the Website, which contains your order number and the details of your purchase. The purchase agreement has now been concluded. A copy of the automated order confirmation will be sent to your e-mail address. We strongly suggest that you print or download this copy for future reference.
We explicitly reserve the right not to accept your order, or to cancel the purchase agreement after the automated order confirmation.
We reserve the right to refuse any order for whatever reason. We also reserve the right to cancel any purchase (an order already accepted by us) in (amongst others) the following situations, without being liable for any damage or costs:
When you send us your order, we may run some checks on it before it is fulfilled. These checks may include, without limitation, validating your name, address and other personal information supplied by you during the ordering process against appropriate third party databases. By accepting these terms and conditions you consent to such checks being made. In performing these checks personal information provided by you may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference Agency which may keep a record of that information. This is done only to confirm your identity. No credit check is performed and your credit rating will not be affected. All information provided by you will be processed in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data.
You can find the available payment methods in the help section of the relevant Website. We do not accept any other method of payment than mentioned in the help section, as our system is not designed to process other payment methods. Please do not try to pay by any other way than specified there. If you do, we will not be liable for loss of the payment or any other damages that may result from this action.
Payments can only be processed if the billing information can be verified.
If you pay by credit/debit card, we will deduct the amount due from your account as soon as your order for standard (non-customized) products leaves our warehouse. If your order concerns customized (NIKEiD) products, we deduct the amount right before we start the manufacturing thereof.Note that if you pay by bank transfer, we will start delivery (or manufacturing in the case of customized (NIKEiD) products) after we receive your payment. This may take several days. In the event no payment has been received within 12 calendar days after you submitted your order, your purchase will be cancelled
We retain title in the products until we have received full payment for all such products.
The product prices displayed on the Websites are inclusive of Value-Added Tax (VAT). Shipping rates are applied per order. The exact shipping rates depend on the country where your order is being delivered to. For details on shipping rates per country see the help section of the Website.
Prices are quoted in Euro with the exception of the UK, Sweden, Norway and Denmark where prices are quoted in local currency. If you change the country of delivery while browsing or during check out, prices from that moment may be quoted in a different currency. If your local currency is different from the currency the prices are quoted in, your bank will apply the exchange rate applicable per the date of purchase. Your bank may apply a different exchange rate, which is beyond our control.
Please note that changing the country of delivery may have an influence on the price due to change in currency or to country specific pricing.
The total price specified in the final check out screen includes tax and shipping costs. The prices are quoted in the order confirmation of receipt of your order as well, which you can print or download for future reference. If you are paying by credit/debit card, the total amount for your entire order will be reflected on your statement in your local currency.

The product prices displayed on the Websites may be subject to change. We reserve the right to change prices without notice. Subject to clause 3.7 below, the prices as displayed at the moment of purchase are the prices applicable to that purchase.

NIKE has implemented secure socket layer (SSL) technology, one of the most robust encryption platforms available. Your payment information will be encrypted from the moment you enter it until your transaction is processed, and will not be saved on a public server. Although we use encrypted security software, the security of information and payments transmitted by the Internet or via e-mail can't be guaranteed. Nike shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of the use of electronic means of communication, including - but not limited to - damages resulting from failure or delay in delivery of electronic communications, interception or manipulation of electronic communications by third parties or by computer programs used for electronic communications and transmission of viruses.
For most customized (NIKEiD) items, you can submit a combination of letters, spaces and numbers to form an ID - a personalized message that appears on your creation. While we honor most ID's, we cannot honor all of them. Some may contain trade marks of third parties, or the names of certain professional sports teams, athletes or celebrities that you (or Nike) do/does not have the right to use. Others may contain material that we consider inappropriate or simply do not want to place on our items. Unfortunately, at times this means that we may decline ID's that may otherwise seem unobjectionable. If your personal tag is, in our sole opinion, unacceptable, your order may be immediately rejected or your purchase will be cancelled at a later stage - if so, you will be notified by e-mail. Nike reserves the right to cancel any ID's after they have been submitted to Nike.
Both your design of the item (the color combination etc) and the personalization shall be created by yourself, or, to the extent this is not the case, you hereby guarantee that you are authorized to use the design or the personalization created by someone else.
Please understand that whilst we have the right to decline your personalization or your design, you are solely responsible for your design and personalization, and we have no obligation to review or decline your design and personalization.
You agree that you will have no (intellectual property) rights in the design or in your personalization. To the extent any intellectual property rights would be applicable to your design or personalization these rights shall vest in Nike. By submitting the customized item to Nike, you transfer all intellectual property rights you may have in the customized product to Nike. To the extent such transfer is not valid, you grant to Nike, by submitting the customized item to us, an exclusive, fully paid, perpetual, royalty free license to use your design and personalization in the widest sense of the word, including but not limited to copy, edit, modify, publicly display, digitize, reproduce and distribute, and to sublicense (parts of) this right as we see fit.
You agree and understand that you shall have no claim against Nike or any other party in the event a design or personalization similar to yours is used or designed. Your design and your personalization qualify as what Nike calls "User Generated Content". Article 14 of these general conditions about User Generated Content is applicable to your design and your personalization, safe where this article 5 contradicts with article 14: in such event this article 5 shall supersede.
We deliver products from Monday through Friday. We do not ship on certain public holidays. Please refer to the help section of the relevant Website for dates. We can only fulfill an order to a delivery address which is a home or office address in one of the countries listed in the help section of the relevant Website (search for 'delivery location').
6.2 Delivery timelinesCustomized (NIKEiD) items will be delivered approximately 4 weeks after the moment of purchase*. We need this time because the customized (NIKEiD) product needs to be individually assembled, manufactured and monitored for quality, prior to shipment.
For standard (non-customized) items, we offer Standard Delivery and Express Delivery.
EXPRESS DELIVERY: 1-2 days delivery!
* If you choose Express Delivery, you submit your order on a working day before 12.00 hrs (noon) CET, and you pay by credit/debit card, your order will be delivered the next working day (weekend days and public holidays are not considered working days). If you pay by bank transfer, Express Delivery is less effective, since we only start delivery after receipt of your payment. This could take 5 to 7 days. If your order includes customized (NIKEiD) items, these items will be delivered approximately 4 weeks after the moment of purchase, regardless of delivery type selected.
STANDARD DELIVERY: 2-6 days.
* If you choose Standard Delivery and you pay by credit/debit card, delivery will be within the lead time frame indicated below. Please note that if you pay by bank transfer, Standard Delivery only starts delivery after receipt of your payment. This could take 5 to 7 days. If your order includes customized (NIKEiD) items, these items will be delivered approximately 4 weeks after the moment of purchase, regardless of delivery type selected.
* We try to deliver on time to the extent this is commercially reasonable. We usually make it, but we cannot guarantee timely delivery.
Where possible, we try to deliver in one go. However, please note that due to the fact that customized (NIKEiD) products are manufactured at different factories, an order for multiple customized (NIKEiD) products may result in split shipments. We reserve the right to split the delivery of your order, for instance (but not limited to) if part of your order is delayed or unavailable. In the event that we split your order, we will notify you of our intention to do so by sending you an e-mail to the e-mail address provided by you at purchase. You will not be charged for any additional delivery costs.
Upon delivery, please inspect the packaging for damage. If it appears that the products are damaged, please do not accept the shipment. We will refund the purchase price and all delivery costs as soon as the warehouse has handled your return. Please also note that you should inspect the products within a reasonable time after their receipt. You will be deemed to have accepted the products unless you have notified us within 30 days after receipt of the products that they are rejected.
Shipping rates are applied per order. The exact shipping rates depend on the country of delivery. For details on shipping rates per country see the help section of the relevant Website.
If you make a purchase that exceeds the threshold relevant to your delivery country, you will receive FREE 'standard delivery', or the option of discounted 'express delivery'. See the help section of the relevant Website for threshold amounts and their corresponding discounted delivery rates.
You may cancel any order for non-customized products free of charge and without giving us any reason, provided it has not yet been shipped. If you have submitted an order and wish to cancel, please check the status of your order first by visiting the "Order status" link at the top right of the relevant Website. If the status of your order is "Pending" or "On Hold" we might still be able to cancel your order so contact our call centre (see help section of relevant website) to request an order cancellation. Our consumer service agents will request a cancellation of your order at our warehouse. If successful, they will send you an email and the cancellation will be free of charge. If cancellation was not possible, the products will be delivered to you, which you will need to refuse upon receipt. The products will be returned to us and your money will be refunded.
Customized (NIKEiD) orders cannot be cancelled before shipment, because we start building the customized (NIKEiD) products immediately after receiving the order. You are however entitled to return your order in accordance with the return procedures and conditions below (see art 8.2 and 8.3 below.)
You are entitled to return products delivered to you in the event that they are defective or otherwise not in conformity with your order when you received them. You can do so within 2 months after you notice the defect. This does not affect your statutory rights. In the event your claim is justified, the purchase price and the shipping costs will be refunded. For practical information on how to return and on refund information see the help section of the Website.
If you are for whatever reason not happy with the products you ordered, you may return the products delivered to you within 30 calendar days after delivery, without giving us any reason, as long as:
the products are unwashed and not used in any way (you are allowed to try garments or shoes on for fit, unless we have indicated otherwise - but you cannot wear them) the product is in its original, undamaged packaging (a carefully opened package will not be considered damaged) the product is complete: e.g. both items of a pair must be returned You cannot return:
products that have been tampered with electronic or audiovisual products of which an affixed seal is broken For information on refunds, see art 8.6 below. For practical information on how to return, see the help section of the Website.
Product exchanges are currently not possible, but you do have the option of returning your product(s). See art 8.2 and 8.3 above. For information on refunds, see art 8.6 below. In order to get another product color or size, you will have to place a new order on the Website.
At the moment, we cannot offer a product return to the person who has received it as a gift. In order to return the product, please contact the person who purchased the product for you and ask them to follow the procedure for returning orders as stated in returning orders after delivery.
In the event you return goods because they are defective or otherwise not in conformity with your order, we will pay for the ship-to and return-shipping costs. In the event you return goods for reasons other than defectiveness or non-conformity with your order, you will need to pay for the return shipment. In practice, when returning, you will use our logistics provider. As the costs incurred by us for these return shipments are equal to the costs of sending the goods to you, we will not refund the costs you originally paid for delivery.
Refunds will be issued based on the original form of payment. If you paid via bank transfer you need to give your bank details to Customer Service when you initiate the return so that we can refund the money directly to your account. You will receive your refund after the product has been returned and processed.
For practical information on how to return and for refund timelines, see the help section of the Website. Please read the help section information and follow the directions carefully in order to prevent unnecessary delay.
Specific note on Domestic Maestro payments: if you paid with Domestic Maestro and did not fill in the 'issue number' or 'start date' field during checkout, we will not be able to process your return and/or grant you a refund.
