It means that only you can use your MasterCard online. Giving you the same assurances you have when you use your card on the high street.

Promotions and Discounts

How do I apply a discount code?

If you have received a discount code, this can be input when checking out. First, add the items you would like to purchase to your cart. Second, hover over the shopping basket icon in the top left corner and click on "Go to Basket/Checkout". Next, scroll down the page to where there is a box labelled "Discount Code". Type or copy and paste your discount code into the box and click "Apply Discount". The discount will then be visible in your cart total prior to final checkout.

Why isn't my discount code working?

First, check that your discount code is typed correctly, the promotion is still ongoing and the discount applies to the items in your cart. Not all discount codes are universal, and many found through second-party websites may have restrictions on when and how they may be used or a limit to the number of times they may be used.

What are the Terms and Conditions of using a discount code?

Discount codes are always subject to the discretion of HJ Hall, and exclusions may apply or change without prior notice. Discount codes are only valid on specific products, while stocks last and may be withdrawn at any time. Discount codes expire and cannot be used past their expiry date. There is a limit of one discount code per person, per order; discount codes cannot be combined. Where 2 discount codes are valid at the same time, it is the customer's responsibility to determine which code they use. In the case of returns, a refund will be given for the amount paid on the product, not on the RRP of the product.

Ownership and Care

All HJ Hall products require care to ensure a long life. We advise all customers to refer to the attached care labels for specific details on their socks as different fibres and fabrications will have different requirements.

In general, most HJ socks can be machine washed at 30 °C or cooler on a gentle cycle, while thermals and underwear may be washed at higher temperatures. Cashmere socks are hand-wash in cool water only. For all HJ products, avoid bleach, dry cleaning, ironing and tumble drying for best longevity.

Daily wear habits can affect the condition of your socks. Maintaining good foot and nail hygiene and pairing socks with appropriate footwear will ensure ongoing durability. For example, wearing thermal boot socks in summer may result in unnecessary wear from heat and sweat, and wearing thin cotton socks with heavy boots can expose the thin fibres to excess friction, so pairing your socks to the weather conditions and your attire will produce the best outcome.
