Our sales contract with you
3.1 How we accept orders
Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to inform you that the products have been dispatched (dispatch confirmation), at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us. The contract will relate only to the goods whose dispatch we have confirmed in the dispatch confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of those products has been confirmed in a separate dispatch confirmation.
3.2 What happens when you cannot accept an order
If we are unable to accept your order for any reason, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock, because your chosen payment method failed to clear fraud and/or security checks from your chosen payment gateway, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.
3.3 Tracking your order
We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we receive your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number should you need to contact us about your order.

When you place an order with us, you will have the option to create either a temporary checkout account or a full account. If you opt to create a temporary account you will have the opportunity to create a full account on a return visit. When you create a full account you will be prompted to choose a password which you should keep secure at all times. If for any reason you need to change your password, you can request a password reset on our login page, which will send an email with instructions for you to reset your password. We shall not be responsible for any losses you might suffer through your failure to keep your password secure. If you create a full account it will contain details of your billing address, shipping address and will allow you to reset your account password. If you receive gift cards or vouchers for our products you will be able to add the amount of the card or voucher to your account.

Your rights to make changes to your order
4.
If you wish to make a change to the product you have ordered please contact us as soon as possible. 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 of the product, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and 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 unacceptable to you, you may want to end the contract (see clause 8- Your rights to end the contract).
Our rights to make changes

The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our website. Our shipping and delivery prices may change due to third party suppliers.
5.2 When we will provide the products
During your order preparation we will let you know when we aim to provide the products to you, which will be as soon as reasonably possible.

In these circumstances you have the legal rights described in 7.5 to 7.7 below.
5.3 We cannot accept responsibility for delays outside of 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 and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay.

5.4 If you are not at home when your order is delivered.
If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the products cannot be posted through your letterbox, the courier will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery or collect the products from a local depot.
5.5 Your rights if we deliver goods late
You have legal rights if we deliver any goods late. If we miss the delivery deadline for any goods then you may treat the contract as at an end straight away if any of the following apply:

b) Delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or
c) You told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.
5.6 Setting a new delivery date
If you do not wish to treat the contract as at an end straight away, or do not have the right to do so under clause 7.5, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can treat the contract as at an end if we do not meet the new deadline.
5.7 When you become responsible for your parcel/order.
The products will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the product to the delivery address you provided.
5.8 When you own the products.
You own the products once we have received payment in full.

For other delivery addresses outside the UK you may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once a shipment reaches your country. Any such additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you and you agree to compensate us for any loss that we may suffer in the event that you do not pay such additional charges. Customs policies vary widely from country to country and we advise you to contact your local customs office for further information.

7.4 Methods of returns
If you are entitled to the costs of return, the maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer.

b) You must use an appropriate delivery method to return the products to us and take out suitable insurance to protect against accidental damage in transit as we shall not compensate you for any damage caused to the products in transit. You must also obtain proof of posting.

Pricing and payment
10.1 Where to find the price for the product(s)
The price of the product (which includes VAT where payable) will be the price quoted on the website on the day you placed your order. The price varies according to the country where your order is to be delivered. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 12.2 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.
10.2 What happens if we get the price wrong
It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.
10.3 When you must pay and how you must pay
We accept payment with Stripe and Paypal. You must pay for the products before we dispatch them. We will charge you by your specified payment method as soon as your order is placed. We are fully compliant with the latest Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards.
10.4 We can charge interest if you pay late
If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate of HSBC Bank plc from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
10.5 Discount products and promotional offers
If you qualify for a discount linked to the amount you have spent on our products and subsequently return some of those products, the discount which was applied to your order will either be dis-applied or reduced, as appropriate, to reflect the revised amount of the order. Discount codes must be used by the specified expiry date.
Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you
11.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us.
If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process. Subject to 13.2 below, our total liability for losses you suffer as a result of us breaking this agreement is strictly limited to the purchase price of the products you purchased.

d) If you agreed to this during the order process, to give you information about similar products that we provide, but you may stop receiving this at any time by contacting us.
12.2
We will only give your personal information to other third parties where the law either requires or allows us to do so.
Other important terms
13.1 Nobody else has any rights under this contract
This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these terms.
13.2 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force
Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
13.3 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later
If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
13.4 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings
These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts.

It is up to the customer to enter the correct coupon details into the cart and check to see if they are happy with the discounted price before placing any order. We may choose to cancel any orders that are placed outside of this term.
14.3 The only exception for multiple offers applying to an order, is when an order meets the free shipping threshold AFTER a discount has been applied. We offer free shipping to all customers, in all regions. Different thresholds apply.
14.4 Due to the high volume of orders during sale and discount periods, we cannot guarantee stock for all orders placed during that time. We will honour orders on a first ordered, first served basis. For any orders that we cannot fulfill, we will contact the customer to discuss how to proceed.
