Shipping
 
Tommie Copper currently ships within the United States, including United States territories and military addresses. International shipments will be delivered by the postal service of the destination country. At this time, Tommie Copper only accepts international orders from Canada. Tommie Copper uses DHL, Federal Express, United States Postal Service, or a combination of all services to ship and deliver packages. Standard service is shipped using DHL eCommerce® wherein DHL carries the package from Tommie Copper's fulfillment center to a USPS sorting facility. USPS then handles the final delivery of the package. Expedited and International services utilize only FedEx in the shipping and delivery process. Orders shipped to a PO Box must be shipped using Standard service, as expedited services cannot deliver to PO Boxes. Depending on the shipping service and location, domestic shipments can take up to 10 business days for delivery. Depending on the location, international shipments can take up to 15 days for delivery. Tommie Copper does not guarantee arrival dates or times. Tommie Copper is not responsible for shipments for any reason once they have been picked up by the carrier. Tommie Copper does not refund, credit, or upgrade shipping for any reason.

Any misuse or abuse of the 60-Day Money Back Guarantee or other conditions of sale, as determined by Tommie Copper in its sole discretion, shall negate, and render a purchaser ineligible for, among other benefits, the 60-Day Money Back Guarantee.   In the event that Tommie Copper deems a purchaser ineligible for the 60-Day Money Back Guarantee and/or any such other benefits, Tommie Copper may, in addition to its other rights and remedies:  (i) decline claims for refunds, returns and exchanges;  and (ii) reject all future orders.

Attorneys’ Fees.

Disputes and Governing Law

Use of this Website and these Terms of Use shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York of the United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. In the event that any portion of these Terms of Use are deemed unenforceable, unlawful or void by a tribunal of competent jurisdiction, in any jurisdiction for any reason, unless narrowed by construction, such portion of these Terms of Use shall, for purposes of such jurisdiction only, be construed as if such invalid, prohibited or unenforceable portion had been more narrowly constructed so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable (or if such provision cannot be drawn narrowly enough, the tribunal making any such determination shall have the power to modify such portion of these Terms of Use to the extent necessary to make such portion of these Terms of Use enforceable in such jurisdiction, and such portion shall then be applicable in such modified form in such jurisdiction). If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such portion of these Terms of Use would be held to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any reason, such portion, as to such jurisdiction only, shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability, without invalidating the remaining provisions set forth in these Terms of Use. No narrowed construction, modification, or invalidation of any portion of the Terms of Use shall affect the construction, validity, or enforceability of such portion in any other jurisdiction. No waiver by Tommie Copper of any term or condition of these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or of any other term or condition, and Tommie Copper’s failure to assert any right or demand compliance with any provision of these Terms of Use shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any such right or provision.

Except where prohibited by law, as a condition of you clicking acceptance of these Terms of Use and/or accessing and/or using this Website, you agree that (1) any and all disputes and causes of action arising out of or connected with this Website, including but not limited to purchases or attempted purchases of Products, shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, and exclusively by final and binding arbitration in New York within one year from the date that the cause of action arose (or, if multiple cause of actions are involved, from the date that the first cause of action arose), with such arbitration conducted pursuant to the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association; and (2) judgment upon such arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Unless prohibited by law, no arbitration brought pursuant hereto shall be joined to any other action or arbitration.

The rules governing arbitration are different than those in court. Arbitration does not involve a judge or jury and review is limited, but an arbitrator can award the same damages as a court. Except as may otherwise be provided in AAA’s Consumer Due Process Protocol that allows consumers to file certain claims in small claims court, you understand that by accepting these Terms and Conditions, you are giving up your right to a trial in court, either with or without a jury.

Unless prohibited by law, under no circumstances will you be permitted to obtain an award for, and by accessing and/or using the Website you waive all rights to claim, punitive, incidental, consequential or any other indirect damages (including multiplied and/or increased damages and/or attorneys' fees and court costs) for, any dispute or cause of action that you may have that relates in whole or part to this Website, and/or its content.

By accepting these Terms and Conditions, you have agreed to waive your right to recover any damages relating to your use of the Website. If such waiver is deemed unenforceable, you, nonetheless, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in these Terms of Use or otherwise, you agree that your recovery with respect to any and all claims, judgments, and awards for which you are entitled shall, unless prohibited by law, be limited to your actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, excluding attorneys’ fees and court costs.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in these Terms of Use, Tommie Copper may at any time seek injunctive or other appropriate relief against you and/or against others, in any state or federal court in the state of New York and/or in any other court chosen by Tommie Copper, in the event that Tommie Copper believes that there is a violation, or a threatened violation, that has jurisdiction of any of Tommie Copper’s intellectual property rights and, in such case, you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such court.
