The receipt you receive is an automated acknowledgement that means we have received your submitted offer.

The contract between you and us will be effective from the time that the order confirmation is sent.

At By Malene Birger, we want to offer the best experience for our customers and we therefore offer 14 days free return to our customers. At the same time, sustainability is a greater focus for us, and we therefore hope to encourage our customers to shop carefully.
Unfortunately, we find that a few of our customers take advantage of the free return offer, and we therefore want to focus extra attention on purchasing behavior in order to maintain this offer to our loyal customers.
If By Malene Birger suspects that there is abuse or excessive purchasing behavior, we will reject the order and we will, on a case-by-case basis, assess whether the customer should be refused placing an order with By Malene Birger for a period or permanently.
In this context, suspicion is based on a number of objective criterias, including: A balance of purchase frequency, order and return composition, use of free return, delayed returns, alleged missing goods in shipments either outgoing or incoming, returns (ordering and returning identical items repeatedly). We emphasize that the behavior is simultaneously systematic, and not random / single.
If we recognize unacceptable purchasing behavior as described above, we reserve the right to withdraw benefits from the membership, refuse to enter transactions with the customers in question or pause the customers in question.
LANGUAGE OF THE CONTRACTThe language of the contract is English.
ACCESS TO THE AGREEMENTWe store all contracts made, including your offer and the order confirmation, and we recommend that you file these too, as subsequently the documents will not be accessible. However, please see “Track your order and view history”.
