Security
Your browser will go into secure mode as soon as you access the 'payment' page, i.e. before you enter any personal or payment details. You can check that you are shopping in a secure environment by looking for either a locked padlock or a key icon in the grey bar at the bottom of your screen.
Being in 'secure mode' means that all of your details are encrypted to help keep them secure. Encryption creates billions of code combinations to protect each transaction made on our site, so your card details cannot be viewed by anyone else using the Internet. If you are using one of the more recent browser versions, our site supports 128 bit encryption and therefore keeps your details as safe as possible at all times.
We only accept orders that are placed using Secure Socket Layer (SSL). This technology prevents you from inadvertently revealing personal information using an insecure connection. During payment, we also ask for your card billing address as an additional security check.

Terms and conditions
Sizes/Colours/Materials
Most of the shoes and dancewear are made to English sizes. For European, Japanese and US sizes please refer to the Size conversion chart (If you can not decide between two different sizes - use the larger one! Most shoes are made to give you rather tight fit). Due to various monitors, graphic cards, screen resolution etc. please note that the shade of colours seen on your monitor may vary slightly from the real product. Satin shoes are made white for easy dyeing to match your costume color.
All dance shoes we sell come with suede soles, which are only suitable for indoor use. (The only exception is Supdance style 6700 which comes with outdoor/indoor soles) Special orders
Some rare combinations of model/size/width/material are marked (Spec ord). These are "special order" shoes, which we do not stock. We will order them from the manufacturer for you, however on the condition that these can not be cancelled or returned. Also we are unable to guarantee any set delivery dates, as these shoes are often made to order by manufacturers.
Prices
All our prices are shown in British Pound Sterling (GBP).
Payment
We accept VISA, MasterCard, EuroCard, JCB, Switch, Solo, Electron cards, International money orders, and payments by British cheques. We also accept official purchase orders from British government and educational establishments. We regret, but can not offer credit terms to overseas customers. When you pay for goods by a credit card, YOUR credit card company automatically converts our GBP price into your currency, for example $. The exchange rates used by YOUR credit card company may vary daily and we are unable to tell you exactly how many $ your credit card company will charge you. That is totally beyond our control.

If you are sending the goods from outside of Europen Union countries, you have to fill in customs declaration. You should also write clearly on the outside of the package RETURN/EXCHANGE.
