The images of the Products on our Platform are for illustrative purposes only.

Your Product may vary slightly from those images. The packaging of the Product may vary from that shown in images on our Platform.

Products are delivered to you using the delivery option you select at the checkout. You will find more information about your delivery options in there. Your order will then be shipped to you from our warehouse after you receive your Order Confirmation, or at another date as specified in the Order Confirmation.


We will deliver the Products to the address (or other specified delivery point) you notified to us when you placed your order on the Platform. When you subscribe, your Subscription generally starts with the latest published issue of the Vogue Scandinavia magazine, however, if that issue is unavailable, Vogue Scandinavia reserves the right to begin your Subscription with the next available issue, which will be sent to the address you provided to us (or other specified delivery point).


The costs of the delivery will be as displayed to you on our Platform when placing your order. During the order process, we will let you know when you can expect the delivery of your Product. Please see our Shipping Policy for more information regarding the shipping of Products.


If our supply of the Product is delayed by an event outside of our control, then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know. We will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided that we do this, we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to cancel your purchase and receive a refund for any Products you have paid for but not received (this is not applicable for a Subscription that runs for a fixed term but only for a specific Product).

10. Price and Payment


10.1 General

The price of the Product (which includes VAT) will be the price presented to you on the order pages when you placed your order on the Platform. Please note that the price for delivery of the Products will be displayed separately on the order page. We make every effort to ensure the accuracy of the Product prices we communicate to you. However, if an error in pricing is identified for a Product you have ordered, please refer to the following procedure.


If the rate of VAT changes between your order date (date according to the Order Confirmation) and the date we supply the Product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the Product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.


Please be aware that despite our meticulous efforts, occasional pricing errors for the Products on the Platform may occur. Typically, we verify prices before confirming your order. If the correct price of a Product at the time of your order is lower than what was initially stated, we will charge you the lower amount. Equally, if the correct price is higher than what was stated, we will reach out to you for further instructions before finalizing your order.

(c) Klarna
(d) Debit Card

10.3 Debit Card

You enter your payment details when you place the order by using a valid debit card. We reserve the right to check the validity of the debit card, that there is room for debiting the value of the Products and that your address information is correct. We reserve the right to refuse purchases of Products as a result of these checks if necessary.

11.5 Deductions from refunds

If you exercise your right of withdrawal, we may reduce your refund to account for any decrease in the value of the goods caused by handling the Products in a manner not allowed in a store. Alternatively, if a Product is returned to us worn, used, damaged, or in an unsaleable condition, we may be unable to issue a refund and may need to return the Product to you, requesting that you cover the delivery costs.


If we notice an unusual pattern of returns activity, for example, if we suspect that you are wearing and returning Products or ordering and returning unusual volumes of Products, we may suspend your access to the Platform without liability to you if, in our reasonable opinion, such action is necessary for safeguarding the Platform. If you believe your account has been mistakenly suspended or have any complaints regarding returns or refunds, please get in touch with us. Contact us via email.


12. Complaints

If you receive defective Products, please notify us immediately. According to the Consumer Act you are entitled to complain about defective Products within three years. However, you must always notify us within a reasonable time after you have discovered that the Products are defective. If we also consider the Products to be defective (after your notification), we will make a full refund including shipping costs, and a credit will automatically be applied to the original payment method within 10 working days. If you attempt to file a complaint regarding a Product without having the right to do so, we may need to send it back to you and request that you cover any delivery costs incurred.

16. Our Responsibility for Loss or Damage

Our maximum liability to you for any loss or damage arising in connection with your order on the Platform shall be limited to the total price of your order.


We are not responsible for indirect losses which are a side effect of the main loss or damage, for example loss of profits or loss of opportunity. We are also not responsible for failure to deliver the Products or to meet any of our other obligations under these Terms, where such failure is due to an event that is beyond our reasonable control, which includes but is not limited to fire, flood, storm, riot, civil disturbance, war, nuclear accident and terrorist activity.


We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Products including the right to receive Products which are: as described and match information we provided to you; of satisfactory quality; fit for any particular purpose made known to us; supplied with reasonable skill and care; and for defective Products.

If you use the Products for any commercial, business or re-sale purposes we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.


17. Other Terms

We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another company and/or organisation.


This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.


Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.


If we do not immediately require you to fulfil your obligations under these Terms, or if we delay taking action against you for breaching this contract, it does not mean you are exempt from those obligations. We still reserve the right to take action against you at a later date.


18. Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of Sweden. All disputes concerning the application of these Terms, and all other disputes arising out of these Terms, shall be finally settled by a Swedish general court, whereby the District Court of Stockholm shall be the first instance.


If you are a customer residing in Sweden, you can turn to the National Board for Consumer Disputes (“ARN”), Box 174, 101 23 Stockholm, www.arn.se. We participate in ARN’s dispute resolution and follow ARN's recommendations.
