PRIVACY 

Please  visit our Privacy Policy section for information explaining the information we collect and how we use it.  We are dedicated to the highest standards of website security and never share or sell our customer data with outside parties for commercial purposes.

 

SITE TRANSACTIONS

We reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per order, whether or not the order has been confirmed, for any or no reason, and without liability to you or anyone else. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. In the event we make a change to or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed fraudulently or by dealers, resellers or distributors. If your payment method has already been charged for an order that is later cancelled, Softstar Shoes shall issue you a refund.  We reserve the right to collect payment at the time of order as all shoes are made to order.  We will make every effort to make and ship the shoes within 10 business days, and will contact the customer if for some reason we would exceed this time.   If for any reason the order is later cancelled, Softstar Shoes shall issue you a refund.

 

COLORS

We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colors of our products that appear on the Site. However, as the actual colors you see will depend on your monitor, we cannot guarantee that your monitor's display of any color will be accurate.
