General Conditions of Use . Please ensure that you have reviewed them and agreed with them before you use or continue using the Marketplace.
Shein as the Operator of the Marketplace provides its Services as an intermediary and therefore is not a party to the transactions made on the Marketplace. All products available for sale ( “Products” ) on the Marketplace are sold by the seller indicated on the relevant Product page.
These General Conditions of Sale ( “GCS” ) govern the contractual relationship and terms of sale between:
(A) the seller of the Product you are purchasing, as listed on the product information page before you confirm your purchase (the “Seller” ) and
(B) you (hereinafter “You” or the “Customer” )
through the Marketplace, within the United Kingdom (hereinafter, the “Territory” ).
Please note that:
- All Sellers on this Marketplace are professional traders.
- In some instances, companies within the SHEIN group may be acting as a Seller – and as such will be bound by these GCS – however, Infinite Towers Services Ltd. is the Operator and is not part of the contractual relationship between you and the Sellers.
If you wish to order from another country outside of the Territory you will be redirected to the appropriate Shein site and your purchases via that local site will be subject to its terms and conditions.
In order to place an order on the Marketplace, the Customer declares that he/she is at least 18 years old. It is specified that the Products are intended for the domestic and personal use by the Customer, without any direct connection with his/her professional activity. The Customer undertakes not to purchase Products with a view to reselling them.
Before making a purchase, the Customer will be invited to read carefully these GCS to
print them or to save them electronically and to accept them. The fact that a Customer places an order implies his/her express acceptance, without reservation, of both these General Conditions of Sale and the General Conditions of Use applicable to the use of the Marketplace (both hereinafter jointly referred as
“T&Cs” ), unless legally prohibited. The T&CS may be modified at any time by SHEIN. In any event, the applicable T&CS shall be those in force at the time the Customer places an order. The Customer is responsible for checking the T&Cs for any changes whenever the Customer uses the Marketplace.
The Customer understands and agrees that the following Marketplace policies form an integral part of the T&Cs:

Once the Product is received by the Customer and he/she is not satisfied with the Product, the Customer can proceed to the return of such product according to our
Returns Policy . For the avoidance of doubt, the discrepancies of colours or presentation of the Product do not imply defect or lack of conformity.
