Our rental terms are charged per day at a daily rate. You can choose to rent anywhere from 1 day up to 8 days. (If you would like to rent for a longer duration that will have to be scheduled by a Rent A Dress employee).

If you choose to rent for 1 day, please keep in mind we will be shipping you the dress on your event day between our scheduled delivery hours. Or you can schedule a physical pickup and drop off time with a Rent A Dress associate. Please keep in mind that the dress needs to be returned by 12 pm on the last day of your rental date.

Cancellations

You will be refunded in the form of your original payment minus Stripe transaction fees. Any cancellation after 24 hrs will not be accepted and your payment will become a store credit that can be used whenever you want and does not expire. Normally we do not offer a refund after the 24-hour mark, as this is for keeping the item reserved and limiting other customers from renting.

For individuals whose orders are placed on the same day as their pickup, this cancellation policy does not apply. No refunds will be accepted once you leave with the dress.

Sales Tax

Sales tax is 5% on top of your order. In the event, we ship Canada wide your tax will vary depending on the province we are shipping to. All items shown on our website are in Canadian dollars.

Pricing

Rent A Dress has the right to determine the price of all products listed on our website. This means rental or purchase. Rent A Dress works with a third-party payment processor to collect payment. We accept Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Pre-paid credit cards and Debit Visa will not be accepted, and cash will not be accepted for security purposes. We will charge your credit card in the amount of the rental price, immediately upon your rental order. Additional fees will be charged to your credit card if an item has not been returned, lost, damaged, ripped, etc.

Billing and Payments

When you place an item for rent or purchase, you authorize Rent A Dress to charge your credit card for the rental fee or product you purchase.

If we are unable to effectively charge your credit card, your items will not be shipped until you provide us with an updated and accurate billing.

We are not responsible for any errors made by the payment processor or if there are any outages or malfunctions with their devices. If we through the payment processor do not receive payment from you, you agree to pay all amounts due on your billing account, through another form of payment.

Refunding Payments

If you choose to rent an item from us and later opt to cancel your order, you are entitled to a full refund, excluding transaction fees, provided that you contact us within 24 hours of placing your order. Should you decide to cancel an order beyond this initial 24-hour window, the refunded amount will be retained in your account, accessible for future rentals or purchases at your convenience.

For individuals whose orders are placed on the same day as their pickup, refunds do not apply. No refunds will be accepted once you leave with the dress.

It is important to note that when you receive a refund, whether in full or in part, from Rent A Dress, the reimbursement will be processed for the amount of your purchase, less any applicable Stripe transaction fees.

Depending on Stripe fee schedule, refunds may incur fees, and Stripe's processing fees from the original transaction won't be returned. Additional fees may apply in some regions and payment types.

Depending on Stripe fee schedule, you may incur fees to refund a charge. Additionally, Stripe's processing fees from the original transaction will not be returned in case of a refund payment.

A large portion of the underlying cost of payment processing is driven by fees assessed by banks and payment networks (like Visa and Mastercard). These networks set rules about which fees apply for refunded payments, and in many cases banks and card networks keep the entire upfront cost of a refunded transaction. For some regions and payment types, refunded payments also incur additional fees.

Stripe aims to make pricing simple and transparent, and Stripe standard fees include access to a variety of features. To address these underlying payment processing costs and continue providing these services as part of our marchand processing standard pricing, Stripe, Rent A Dress marchand processing provider does not return your fees when a payment is refunded.
