3 . OUR CONTRACT OF SALE WITH YOU

  • A legally binding contract is made between you and us if you place an order on our website and we accept that order (in writing or on the telephone).
  • If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing by email or on the telephone and you will not be charged for your order. If we accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing by email or on the telephone and you will be provided with an order number.
  • If you place and we accept an order for a product that we are unable to provide (for example, due to technical problems or changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements) we will contact you as soon as possible to offer an alternative product. If the alternative is not acceptable to you, you may choose to end your contract (please see paragraph 6 below for more information on your rights to end a contract). In these circumstances, we will refund any sums that you have paid in advance.
  • If you wish to make a change to your order after it has been accepted, please contact us without delay and we will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible, we will let you know about any changes to the price, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change, and we will ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are not acceptable to you, you may choose to end your contract (please see paragraph 6 below for more information on your rights to end a contract).
  • We may end the contract at any time by writing to you if: (i) you do not make any payment to us when it is due; (ii) you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the products; (iii) you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the products to you; or (iv) you otherwise breach these terms and conditions.

  • We make every effort to ensure that the descriptions and images of our products on our website are as accurate as possible. However, product images are illustrative online and your product may vary slightly from those images. We cannot guarantee that your device will display the colour of a product accurately. All sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated on our website have a 2% tolerance.
  • If we are making bespoke or personalised products as part of your order, you are responsible for checking and ensuring that your instructions to us and the information that you provide to us are accurate, including any measurements or specifications. It may not be possible for us to accept a change in instructions if a product has already been made or is in production.

5.  DELIVERIES

  • We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the products to you, for example, your address and contact details. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of request.
  • The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our website and in the email acknowledging receipt of your order.
  • During the order process we will let you know when we will deliver the products to you. We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know that there may be a delay and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. So long as we contact you in this way we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products that you have paid for but not received.
  • All deliveries are made curbside to the delivery address provided by you to us. If no one is available at your address to take delivery, we will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery. If, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery then we will contact you for further instructions and we may charge you for any further delivery costs that we incur. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery then we may end the contract (please see paragraph ‎‎5 for more information on when we may need to end the contract).
