Acceptance and Scope of the Terms
Using dswshoesco.com means you agree to these Terms & Conditions. They cover your visit, the pages that help you browse boots, sandals, heels, shoes, flats, loafers, slippers and bags, and any tools or features the site makes available along the way. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. These terms govern the website itself rather than a separate in-store or seller agreement, and they work alongside any specific policy posted on the site. Where a dedicated policy addresses a topic in more detail, that policy guides that topic.
Together they set the ground rules for a smooth, deal-savvy browse across every category.
Website Purpose and Informational Nature
This website exists to help shoppers explore designer and name-brand footwear and fashion accessories in a clear, useful way. DSW, the retail name of Designer Shoe Warehouse, operates as part of Designer Brands Inc., described as one of North America’s largest designers, producers and retailers of footwear and accessories. The site is built around wide selection across women’s, men’s and kids’ styles, deal-oriented pricing signals, and member perks such as free shipping and VIP rewards.
Content is informational. It is not professional sizing, medical, fitting or financial advice, and it should not be treated as a substitute for checking the details that matter to your order.
Visitor Eligibility and Responsibility
The site is intended for personal shopping and browsing by people old enough to use it responsibly under the rules that apply where they live. If you browse on behalf of a household or family, you are responsible for how younger shoppers use the site and for any activity on your device or connection.
You are also responsible for keeping your own information accurate, protecting your login details where sign-in features exist, and following the laws that apply to you. Connectivity costs, device compatibility and browser settings are on your side of the deal too. A quick check of your settings before you hunt for a specific pair keeps the experience frustration free.
Permitted Use
You may browse, search and share the site for personal, non-commercial purposes. Reading category pages, comparing brands, checking style details and sending a link to a friend who has been hunting the right pair are all welcome uses. Printing or saving a page for your own reference is fine, as long as you keep copyright and ownership notices intact.
Anything beyond personal use needs permission first. That includes republishing product copy, rebuilding category listings, using images in your own marketing, or running the site’s content through a commercial catalog. If you are unsure whether an intended use counts as personal, treat it as commercial until you have confirmation.
Prohibited Conduct
To keep the site quick, safe and useful for everyone, certain behavior is off limits. That list includes automated scraping, bulk copying, crawling that hammers the servers, probing for vulnerabilities, uploading harmful code, and attempting to bypass access controls or security measures. Impersonating another person, misrepresenting an affiliation, or using the site to distribute spam or deceptive offers is equally unwelcome.
Please also avoid interfering with other visitors, reselling site content as your own catalog, or using product information to mislead shoppers. When in doubt, the simple test is this: would your action help another shopper, or would it degrade their experience?
Accounts and Sign-In Features
Where the site offers sign-in, saved preferences or VIP membership features, those tools are designed to make repeat visits easier and to surface perks such as free shipping and reward benefits. You are responsible for the accuracy of the details you provide and for keeping your credentials private. Activity carried out through your account is treated as activity you authorized.
Features may change, and not every visitor or region will see the same tools. Separate membership or account terms may describe particular programs in more detail, so review those materials when a feature is offered to you. If you suspect your details are being used without permission, stop using the account and reach out through the contact routes published on the site.
Product Information, Availability and Accuracy
Shoppers come to DSW for a wide assortment across women’s, men’s and kids’ footwear and accessories, and that assortment moves quickly. Styles, brands, sizes, colors, prices and availability can change at any time, including on styles such as boots, sandals, heels, flats, loafers, slippers and bags. The brand portfolio spans names such as Crown Vintage, Hush Puppies, Jessica Simpson, Keds, Kelly & Katie, Le TIGRE and Lucky Brand, and what is in stock today may not be tomorrow.
Images and colors can also differ slightly between screens and the real pair in the box. Treat displayed details as helpful guidance, then confirm the specifics that matter before you commit.
Third-Party Retailers, Product Links and External Services
Some pages may point to brands, retailers, map tools, payment providers or other external services that sit outside this website. Those destinations run on their own terms, policies and availability, and we do not control how they operate or what they change. Following a link is your choice, and it is worth reading the destination’s own information before you enter details or complete a transaction there.
Links exist to make finding the right pair easier, not to guarantee third-party outcomes. If a destination looks unfamiliar, out of date or inconsistent with what you expected, step back and verify it through the retailer directly before proceeding.
Intellectual Property and Limited Permission to Use the Site
The site’s design, layout, text, product descriptions, photography, graphics, logos and other materials belong to DSW or its licensors, including content associated with Designer Brands Inc. and the brands it presents. DSW and the Designer Shoe Warehouse name are part of that identity, along with the way the site organizes categories, deals and member perks.
You receive a limited, revocable permission to view the site for personal use. That permission does not transfer ownership of anything, and it does not allow copying, modifying, republishing, framing, distributing or creating derivative works from site materials for commercial purposes. Respecting these limits keeps brand content accurate and protects the shopping experience for everyone.
User Feedback and Submissions
If the site invites reviews, ideas, styling notes or other feedback, you are welcome to share it. Helpful submissions make it easier for other shoppers to compare options across boots, sandals, heels, flats, loafers, slippers and bags, and that fits the spirit of the place. Before you submit, make sure your contribution is yours to share and does not include private information about someone else.
When you send feedback, you allow it to be used to improve the site and related content without compensation or attribution, unless a specific program states otherwise. We are not obliged to publish, preserve or respond to every submission, so please do not send material you need kept confidential.
Disclaimers
The site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the extent the law allows, no warranties are made about accuracy, completeness, reliability, availability or suitability of the site and its content. That includes descriptions, category organization, pricing signals, availability notices and any guidance about styling, fit or occasion.
Nothing on the site constitutes professional sizing, medical or technical advice, and no result is guaranteed. Downtime, delays, typographical errors and outdated information can occur even when a page looks current. Always confirm the details that affect a purchase with the relevant seller or store before you rely on them.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, DSW and Designer Brands Inc., along with their teams, affiliates and service providers, are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site. That covers lost profits, lost data, lost opportunities and similar losses.
Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the minimum amount the law allows. Some places do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you. The aim is straightforward: the site is a browsing and discovery tool, and your remedies are bounded by what the law in your location provides.
Indemnity, Where Legally Permitted
If your misuse of the site causes a claim, complaint or loss for DSW, Designer Brands Inc. or their partners, you agree to cover the reasonable costs of defending against it, to the extent the law in your location allows. Examples include content you posted without rights, misrepresentation of an affiliation, or conduct that violates these terms.
This concept is about responsibility rather than punishment. It applies only where indemnity is enforceable, and it does not expand anyone’s obligations beyond what applicable law permits. If a specific jurisdiction limits or removes indemnity for consumers, that limitation is respected.
Suspension and Termination
Access to the site may be suspended or ended when these terms are breached, when security is at risk, or when continued access would harm the site or its visitors. That can include activity such as scraping, automated traffic, unauthorized access attempts or misuse of account features. Restrictions may apply immediately when a threat is ongoing.
You may stop using the site at any time. Sections that by their nature should continue, such as ownership, disclaimers, liability limits and feedback permissions, are intended to survive the end of your access. Ending access does not remove obligations that were already created before termination.
Changes to the Website or Terms
The site changes constantly, because selection moves and features evolve. Categories, brand pages, deal messaging and member perks may be updated, added or retired as DSW refines how shoppers find the right pair across women’s, men’s and kids’ styles. These terms may change alongside them to reflect new features or updated practices.
When terms are revised, the version published on this page is the current one, and continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised version. Revisiting this page occasionally is a simple habit, especially if you use sign-in features or shop frequently.
Governing Law
The law that applies to these terms depends on where DSW operates the site and where you access it, and the supplied information for this website does not establish a specific governing jurisdiction. Rather than guess, this page treats the question as one to be confirmed against any separate policy published on the site.
Practically, this means you should read the notices and policy documents that accompany your use of the site, because they may name the applicable law and forum. Nothing here removes rights you hold under consumer protections that apply where you live.
Severability, Waiver and Entire Agreement
If part of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining parts stay in effect and continue to guide your use of the site. A court or authority may adjust the affected wording only as far as necessary, rather than discarding the whole section. That keeps the rest of the agreement working for everyone.
Failure to enforce a provision on one occasion is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later. Taken together, these terms and any specific policies referenced on the site express the full understanding about using the website, replacing earlier discussions on the same subject.
How to Raise a Terms Enquiry
Questions about these terms are welcome. The most reliable route is the contact information published on this website, such as a help, support or contact page, or the notice details included with any membership program you use. Those official channels are maintained by DSW and are the correct place to send a question about scope, updates or how a section applies to your visit.
When you write, include the page address in question and a clear description of what you need. This site does not publish a contact address in these terms, so please use the details shown on the live site rather than assuming a channel exists.
