Making a contract with us[CD1] 

When you place an order with us, you are making an offer to buy our goods. We will send you an e-mail to confirm that we have received your order and payment and a contract will be then deemed to exist between us. Once we have checked your payment and the price and availability of the requested goods, we will prepare the goods for dispatch and will e-mail you again when the goods are dispatched. In the unlikely event that the requested goods are out of stock we will advise you and give you an estimated date of availability. In this case, we will give you the option of either a full refund or to wait for the goods to be back in stock.

Delivery and Charges

Please refer to the Delivery page[CD2] [CD3]  for full delivery details

Cancellation and returns

No returns will be accepted unless a manufacturing fault is present or if the goods have been used in any way. Goods that have been unopened and unused will be accepted back as a return subject to our inspection. You may cancel your contract at any time up to 7 working days after the day of delivery. To do this, please e-mail or write to us. You do not have to give any reason for cancellation. However, a brief explanation will help us to improve the service we offer to customers in the future. If you cancel, you must return the goods to us at your own expense. You must ensure that the goods are packaged adequately to protect against damage. If you fail to return the goods, we will arrange collection and we will charge you the direct cost of collection. If you fail to take reasonable care of the goods before they are returned to us which results in damage or deterioration, we will charge you for the reduction in value. This cancellation policy does not affect your legal rights – for example, if goods are faulty or mis-described.[CD4]

TERMS & CONDITIONS - THE BASICS

Having said that, Terms and Conditions (“T&C”) are a set of legally binding terms defined by you, as the owner of this website. The T&C set forth the legal boundaries governing the activities of the website visitors, or your customers, while they visit or engage with this website. The T&C are meant to establish the legal relationship between the site visitors and you as the website owner. 


T&C should be defined according to the specific needs and nature of each website. For example, a website offering products to customers in e-commerce transactions requires T&C that are different from the T&C of a website only providing information (like a blog, a landing page, and so on).     


T&C provide you as the website owner the ability to protect yourself from potential legal exposure, but this may differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so make sure to receive local legal advice if you are trying to protect yourself from legal exposure.

WHAT TO INCLUDE IN THE T&C DOCUMENT

Generally speaking, T&C often address these types of issues: Who is allowed to use the website; the possible payment methods; a declaration that the website owner may change his or her offering in the future; the types of warranties the website owner gives his or her customers; a reference to issues of intellectual property or copyrights, where relevant; the website owner’s right to suspend or cancel a member’s account; and much much more.
