You should familiarize yourself, therefore, with the specific legal, privacy and security information contained in any such Websites.

Our Website also contains links to other sites operated by the TJX Businesses. We advise you to review the legal, privacy and security information for each such site to which you link, as the terms and conditions of use and the policies relating to the personal information you provide may vary from Website to Website.

Product Information

We make all reasonable efforts to provide information on this Website that is accurate and complete; however, pricing and typographical errors may occur or information may be out of date. There may be information, including information about products, their availability, or their prices that may be inaccurate or incomplete. We reserve the right to correct any such information without prior notice (including after you have submitted your order). We regret any inconvenience to you.

The inclusion of any products or services on this Website at a particular time does not guarantee that the products or services will be available.

 

Returns

Our customers continue to be our top priority. If you're not satisfied with your purchase, return the merchandise accompanied by a register receipt within 30 days of purchase, for an exchange or refund. A 10 day period is required for a cash refund on check purchases. Returns with receipts over 30 days or without a receipt will receive store credit only. Gift receipts are valid for store credit or exchange of merchandise only.

Merchandise that is used or worn will not be accepted for refund or exchange. Returns of swimwear and intimate apparel require tickets properly attached to the merchandise. Jewelry returns must be made at the jewelry counter, and must be made only at stores that carry jewelry. Other restrictions may apply.

Unfortunately, many retailers are subject to fraudulent return activity. Returns may also be limited or declined based upon our refund verification systems, which are used to process and track returns to help administer our loss prevention program.

Valid ID (drivers license, military ID, state issued photo ID card), name, address and signature are required for returns without a valid receipt or gift receipt. Customer signature may be required for returns (receipted and unreceipted). To learn about how we use and handle your information, please see our Privacy Notice.

To make your returns quicker and easier please keep your receipt.

 

Colors

We have tried to display the products and attributes of the products on the Website, including the colors of products, we are offering for sale accurately. Because the colors you see depend on your computer monitor, we cannot guarantee that your monitor's display of any color will be accurate.

 

"Compare At" Price

If you are shopping at our stores, you will see that many products include both our selling price and a "Compare At" price. The "Compare At" price on our selling ticket reflects our evaluation of the regular, retail selling price of that or a comparable item in finer catalogs or specialty or department stores, based on our buying staff's knowledge of what you may expect to pay in competitive national markets. It represents our effort to provide a meaningful comparison so that you, our customer, are confident that what you are purchasing from us is, indeed, real value.

A gift message service is available to our users through the Website subject to the following guidelines. You may not use obscene, profane, immoral, libelous or threatening language in gift messages. We reserve the right (but do not assume the obligation) to restrict or remove any and all content from gift messages that we determine, in our sole discretion, violates these guidelines or would be harmful to us, our users, or any third party.
