How can we help you?

When you select a product on the Website that will be sold to you directly by Adidas or Reebok (“Marketplace Product”), you will be notified of this ahead of your purchase and the contract of sale will be between you and Adidas (UK) Limited (company number 1075951 and registered office at Pepper Road, Hazel Grove Stockport, Cheshire, SK7 5SA) (“Adidas”).

We sell some Adidas and Reebok products to you directly and where that is the case, these terms will not apply and your contract of sale will be between you and the Seller, in accordance with its terms and conditions. 

The Seller’s terms and conditions of sale will still apply to the purchase of Marketplace Products, with the following differences:

1. Contract formation
   1. To enter into a contract with Adidas, you must fulfill the following requirements:
      1. You must be above 16;
      2. You must not be a reseller; and
      3. You must guarantee that all information given is accurate.
   2. All information regarding Marketplace Products on the Website is an ‘invitation to treat’ only and is not an offer for sale or a binding contract. You placing an order is an offer to Adidas to purchase the listed Marketplace Product(s), which is subject to acceptance by Adidas. Adidas are entitled to verify or refuse to accept an order without providing reasons and with no liability to you or any third parties.
   3. Acceptance of your order and formation of a contract of sale between you and Adidas will not take place unless and until you receive confirmation that the Marketplace Product(s) have been shipped to you.

Following the cancellation Adidas will provide you with a refund for the amount paid to Adidas under the cancelled (part of the) order.
   7. Adidas reserve the right to cancel your order after the creation of the contract of sale, thereby terminating the contract of sale, for any of the reasons set out at Clause 1(e)(i)-(vi) above.
