WE’VE GOT YOUR BACK

To be covered by us if something goes wrong please note the following:

start and complete the booking through the app so we can see what stage the order is at
use our payment portal
keep all chat within the app - don’t take it offline
if it does not fit let the lender know straight away via the chat button and return it as soon as possible, issuing a refund or exchange is a the discretion of the owner
if you feel the item is not as described take a photo straight away and send it support@highstreetrunway.com
if you accidentally damage an item please let the owner know straight away and see if you can figure out a solution - you will be liable for the cost of the repair or replacement value (please note the replacement value listed on the item description)
You may be liable for extra cleaning fees
if you can't return an item on time please let the owner know straight away and you may be liable for a late fee
if an outfit is stolen we will report you to the police
it’s at our discretion when we mediate on your behalf, in particular with the replacement cost of the garment.
We recommend using tracked parcels with Australia Post. We do not take any responsibility if lost in transit or if delivered but not received.

We realise things don't always go to plan and we can issue a refund at any time at the request of the owner. Please use our chat function to ask about the renters' refund policy when confirming details about the booking. All refunds are issued through our payment gateway PayPal.

WHAT WE EXPECT FROM OUR USERS

When listing and communicating on the app we expect you will not post content that:

Is defamatory, obscene, vulgar, threatening, harassing or offensive language or comments
Is blatant advertising – sure link in your favourite designers and labels but please no commercial content that encourages rentals to take place elsewhere. For example if you have your own rental website, by all means list your products and take bookings on the app, don't push them back to the website.
Spam - no-one wants contact, or content that is shared repeatedly in a disruptive manner.
Endorses or promotes anything which is illegal or harmful – keep it clean.
Is mean and not nice about another person – in legal terms this is considered discriminatory or attempts to impersonate someone else, another member or a shop (eg: don’t call yourself Princess Polly because you’re not).
Is illegal or violates another person’s or entity’s rights, including intellectual property rights and privacy right.
This one’s really important – don’t ever, ever, EVER give information about someone else’s location – do all of this communicating via the messenger function on the app – it could be dangerous and put the other persons’ safety at risk.
Is incorrect meaning dishonest, fraudulent, false, misleading or deceptive.

To enable us to provide the payment processing services through PayPal, you agree to provide us with accurate and complete contact information (name, address and email) and banking details (bank account number and BSB) when opening your Account and to update this information, as required.

  6. PayPal may place a hold on funds held in the HSR PayPal account or take other protective actions, at its sole discretion, in the event there is a level of risk associated with a transaction, such as fraud, or otherwise in accordance with its user agreement.

You agree that, where such a delay affects your Account, we will not be required to release the balance of any Sale or Rental Price to you unless or until the issue has been resolved with PayPal.
