About Us
Conspiracy snowboard, ski & skateboard shop in St Albans, UK is one of Britain's leading independent rider run & owned stores. Formally known as Clarke's Skates, the shop has been running in St. Albans, Hertfordshire for over 35 years!
Tony Clarke began selling skateboard products in 1977 from the back corner of the famous Clarke's motorcycle shop. Over the years Clarke's became the favourite meeting point for many local skateboarders to share information and to hear about developments in the skateboard world.

Conspiracy took over from Clarke's in 2000 and has endeavoured to carry on all the good work and keep the heritage alive. Being keen snowboarders & Skiers, the crew decided to expand the shop and open a winter sports department. We have been successfully trading as a skateboard, streetwear, snowboard & ski shop ever since.

We are fully committed to bringing you all the best snowboard, ski & skateboard products from all the big names at competitive prices along with the best service and advice.

Credit Card Security

When the order is placed at our website, you will be taken through a secure Sagepay payment system.

As a Payment Service Provider, thousands of businesses outsource their transaction security to Sagepay. It is their top priority to ensure that transaction data is kept secure at all times.

Transaction security

All transaction information passed between our site and the Sagepay VSP Systems is encrypted using 128-bit SSL certificates. No cardholder information is ever passed unencrypted and any messages sent to our servers from Sagepay are signed using MD5 hashing to prevent tampering. You can be completely secure in the knowledge that nothing passed to the Sagepay servers can be examined, used or modified by any third parties attempting to gain access to sensitive information. Sagepay is fully approved as a Level 1 compliant provider under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). This is the highest level of compliance.

Encryption and Data Storage

Once on the Sagepay systems, all sensitive data is secured using the same internationally recognised 256-bit encryption standards used by, among others, the US Government. The encryption keys are held on state-of-the-art, tamper proof systems in the same family as those used to secure VeriSign's Global Root certificate, making them all but impossible to extract. The data held by Sagepay is extremely secure and Sagepay are regularly audited by the banks and banking authorities to ensure it remains so.

Links to banks

Sagepay have multiple private links into the banking network that are completely separate from the internet and which do not cross any publicly accessible networks. Any cardholder information sent to the banks and any authorisation message coming back is secure and cannot be tampered with. Employee access No individuals within Sagepay are able to decrypt transaction information or cardholder data. Their systems only allow access to their most senior staff and only in extenuating circumstances (such as investigations of Card Fraud by the Police). Your transaction information and customer card information is secure even from their own employees because their systems never display the full card numbers, even on administration screens.

Returns Policy

Before returning an item to us please call for a returns number. Items sent back without a returns number cannot be accepted.

Non-faulty items must be sent back unused and in their original packaging any time up to the end of 7 days after you receive the goods. Once received, we will offer an exchange or a refund if required.
DVD's will not be accepted unless they are returned sealed. Books, Soiled shoes and worn clothing will not be exchanged or refunded. Your statutory rights are not effected by these conditions.
Shoes will not be exchanged or refunded if they have SKATE RELATED damage (grip tape is abrasive!), depending on use shoes can wear through very quickly! Wear and stitching damaged is generally not a manufacturing fault. Skateboard setups and mounted skis are custom made to the customer's order and therefore cannot be returned. In addition, snapped or cracked boards usually occur when your foot is in the wrong position when landing a trick. Unfortunately, if this happens, we cannot replace your broken board. Snowboards rarely break because of manufacturing issues. Most de laminations, cracks and snaps are caused through impacts, bad landings and collisions. Snowboards will only be presented to manufacturers for warranties if they do not show any signs of edge impact.

If you exercise your right of cancellation after the goods have been delivered to you, you will be responsible for returning the goods to Conspiracy Retail Ltd at your own cost. The goods must be returned to the address shown above. You must take reasonable care to ensure the goods are not damaged in the meantime or in transit.

Once you have notified Conspiracy Retail Ltd that you are cancelling the contract, Conspiracy Retail Ltd will refund or re-credit you within 14 days for any sum that has been paid by you or debited from your credit card for the goods.

You will be required to pay postage when returning your exchange items to us. Please note that postage costs are non-refundable. Products returned must be properly packaged and sent fully pre-paid to our address (above). When sending your return please obtain a CERTIFICATE OF POSTAGE from your Post office as you will have to produce it in case of a loss.

Label all returns to 'Conspiracy Returns Department'. You should also include your name, address, daytime telephone number, a copy of all invoice/receipts and a covering letter explaining why you are returning it AND what you would like us to do; refund or exchange? With any returns we reserve the right not to refund any item returned not in new condition or after the 7 day period.

All products from Conspiracy are guaranteed against manufacturing defects. Guarantees may vary depending on products & manufacturers.
If you think that your item is faulty then please contact us as soon as possible. All items will be inspected by ourselves and often by the Manufacturer before being deemed faulty. Once we are satisfied the goods are faulty, depending on the circumstances they may be repaired, replaced, exchanged or refunded. Your postage costs in returning the item to us will also be refunded.

If your purchase is being submitted for a warranty claim it will need to be assessed by the manufacturer before a decision is made on action required. This may incur a postage/courier charge on larger items for which successful claims will be reimbursed.

Nb: please be aware that some snowboard equipment (and other large items) will need to be sent via courier and therefore packaged by the customer. Courier pickup can be arranged by conspiracy retail ltd if no courier is available to the customer for a non-profit charge.

If the goods supplied to you are damaged on delivery, you should notify us by phone within 7 days.

Applicable Law

These terms of sale and the supply of the goods will be subject to English law and the English courts will have jurisdiction in respect of any dispute arising from the contract.
