1.3 Continue as a Customer
If you only wish to use the Site to purchase an item, you do not necessarily need to create a Member Account. You can make the purchase as a "Customer".
2. Sell - Trade in Service
The Site offers a "Trade-in" service, open to all registered Members.
When a Member sends Items directly to the Site in exchange for a credit, it is called a “Trade-in”.
The "Credit" means the amount indicated on the Site for the Trade-in of an Item at the time of entry on the Site under the heading Trade-in.
2.1 Accepted Items
Items offered by a Member for sale on the Site, will be accepted for G-Star Rewear when being ready-to-wear G-Star Women's and Men's Items, released from 2017 onwards; with the exception of “G-Star exclusives” collections from former years, which may be accepted if fulfilling the conditions set below. G-Star products from current collections will not be accepted, nor items released before 2017. Any item offered for sale must be in one of the following categories:
Items without a G-Star name or with a cut-off G-Star name label or without a G-Star inside label or G-Star wash & care label will not be accepted.
Under no circumstances may the Items be in any other condition (damaged, worn, out of order, stained, with holes, deformed, dirty…). It is the Member's responsibility to verify that the Item corresponds to the Trade-in criteria and that it falls within one of the 3 categories mentioned above. Upon receipt of the Item, G-Star will check if the category indicated is in accordance with the condition of the Item. The Trade-in amount will be reduced to reflect the actual condition of the Item, if it still falls into one of the categories listed above. However, no Trade-in amount will be granted if the Item has defects that do not allow it to be offered for sale on the Site. The Member acknowledges that the refused Items will not be sent back. They will be given to an association or will enter within the framework of an upcycling process.
Failure to comply with these rules may result in the suspension or even the deletion of the Member's Account.
The Site only takes back Items whose types and sizes are defined in the Trade-in module.
2.2 The different steps of a Trade-in
Step 1: The Member qualifies his/her Item from the Trade-in section and obtains an estimate of its Trade-in value thanks to the automatic calculator. The estimated Trade-in value is determined according to numerous criteria (type, material, condition, etc.) and is generated automatically. The Trade-in amount is confirmed by email within 10 working days from the date of receipt of the Item. This amount will not be subject to any negotiation with G-Star
By exchanging an Item, the Member declares :
The Member remains the only one responsible for the Trade-in of an Item whose circulation will be prohibited, which would contravene the regulations in force, the public order, and good morals.
To undertake to respect morality, good order, and public order in the description of the Item.
Prohibition to trade counterfeit products: The Site reserves the right to verify the authenticity of a product and may refuse to accept it even if it turns out that the Item is not counterfeit. Members are reminded that it is forbidden to offer counterfeit products. Counterfeiting is an offense punishable by law and infringes the intellectual property rights of G-Star owners.
The Member shall communicate the original copy and/or a copy by electronic means of any element likely to justify the ownership of the Item, its origin, as well as its authenticity on simple request of the Site.
The authenticity of the Item is an essential quality for G-Star . In the event that G-Star takes back an item, which subsequently turns out not to have this quality, G-Star will consider itself the victim of an error on the substance within the meaning of article 1110 of the Civil Code.
Step 2: The Member ships the Items free of charge. The Member must print the parcel label generated by the Site and sent by G-Star to the Member via email, and stick it on the packaging of his/her Item. He/She uses his/her own packaging. The label must be legible. The package can be refused if the label is not legible, badly printed, badly stuck, or torn.
In order for the Item to be authenticated and eligible for a return, the Member must also print a "Transfer Voucher" to transfer ownership of the Item to G-Star . This Transfer Note will be sent to the Member by email, at the shipping stage of the Item. The Transfer Note contains the Member's name and the condition of the Item. It is mandatory that the Member has signed the Transfer Order. Otherwise, the Transfer Order will be null and void. After receipt, the Transfer Order is kept for 90 days (except in the case of a dispute, in which case it is kept until the expiration date).
The rules for packaging are as follows;
The packaging of the parcel must secure the contents and allow for handling and movement without risk to its integrity, but also for the safety of the transport personnel.
In the event that a Member does not respect these packaging rules, the carrier may refuse the package at its sole discretion. In this case, the Member's package may also be blocked at the carrier's office, and its recovery will be at the Member's expense. The acceptance of a package by the carrier does not imply acceptance of the conformity of the packaging to the rules indicated above.
In the absence of compliance with these rules, a Member shall be liable to pay the additional cost and to collect the package at his/her own expense.
It is the sole and entire responsibility of the Member to enter correctly and in a complete, honest, and accurate manner the information that will allow the carrier to proceed with the shipment of the Item from the sending relay point to the deposit.
The Member deposits his/her parcel in one of the carrier's shipping points.
In case of a lost or damaged parcel during the transport operation, the insurance of DPD subscribed by Faume for the Netherlands will take care of the compensation of the Member.
The Member who has confirmed a Trade-in commits him/herself to come and deposit his/her Item within 15 days following the reception of the confirmation email. Failing to comply will render the transport note invalid, and the exchange will be canceled. Nothing prevents the Member from creating a new Trade-in.
Step 3: The Site receives the Items and checks each of them within 10 working days following the reception of the parcel. The Member receives a summary of the accepted or refused Items with their values of resumption by email at the address indicated on the Site at the time of its inscription. In the event that the actual condition of the Item does not correspond to the condition indicated by the Member, the amount of the credit shall be reduced proportionally, or if the Item is in an unacceptable condition, no credit shall be granted, as described in article 2.1.
The Site will then take care of the enhancement of the Items online
2.3 Credit and Voucher
The Member receives the amount of his/her credit on the Site, within his/her Member Account, in his/her electronic wallet. The amount is credited after the processing of the Items.
The Member can convert the amount credited in the e-wallet into a "Purchase Voucher" to purchase Items on G-Star’s website or convert it into a Purchase Voucher to purchase Items on G-Star Rewear and/or in one of the G-Star stores.
The voucher will contain a promotional code that the Member can enter at the end of the order to apply the discount.
The voucher is valid for a period of one year, on any order of Items, to pay the price of the Items and the associated delivery costs. If the value of the order is higher than the amount of the voucher, the difference must be paid by the Member by one of the other payment methods offered on the Site or in the store.
A promotional code cannot be used for an order already validated.
All vouchers have an expiration date specified on the voucher. Once generated, each voucher is valid for 12 months and must be used in one go. Only one voucher can be used for a given transaction: the accumulation of vouchers is not allowed.

The Customer will be refunded in accordance with the procedures agreed with the bank which issued the card.
If a Member, as a Customer, has used a Voucher to pay for its Order, the Member's Account will be credited again.

3.5 Right of revocation
The Customer has fourteen (14) days from the day of receipt of the Items ordered to exercise its right of revocation, without the need to provide any reason.
The Customer will inform G-Star Rewear of its decision to revoke by sending a clear, unambiguous declaration to service.nl@g-star.com .
The Customer can use the model revocation form attached in the Annex to these Terms, but this is, however, not mandatory.
The Customer shall return the Items to G-Star Rewear immediately and in any case, at the latest fourteen (14) days after having communicated the decision to revoke. The Customer must return the Items in an unused condition, with all the original labels on, and at his own expense. The Customer will pay for the return.
To make the return, the Customer prints a return slip under the heading "My orders" in the customer area of the Site and sticks it on his parcel to send it back. The return must be deposited at a collection point of the carrier.
If the Customer does not use the return slip, the Customer will assume responsibility for the Items (including any risk of loss or damage) until they are delivered to the address specified on the return slip.
In case the aforementioned conditions are fulfilled and G-Star Rewear has received the Items, G-Star Rewear will refund the Customer the full sum of the Order, after deduction of the return costs. The return costs are identical to the original shipping costs that the Customer has paid when placing its Order.
The sum will be refunded within 14 calendar days of G-Star Rewear receiving the returned Items, provided all conditions as specified above have been strictly complied with. Under no circumstances can the amount repaid ever exceed what the Customer actually paid.
For this refund G-Star Rewear will use the same means of payment as the Customer used for the original transaction unless expressly agreed otherwise and in no event will the Customer be charged for this refund less the sales vouchers or discounts used to pay for the order. The Customer will be refunded in accordance with the procedures agreed with the bank which issued the card.
If a Member, as a Customer, has used a Voucher to pay for its Order, the Member's Account will be credited again.
The Customer shall be liable for any loss in value of the Items if such loss in value is due to having used the Items to an extent more than necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and the functioning of the Items.
