Introduction

You will be able to access all areas of this Website without registering your details with us. However, if you wish to register with the company, there are certain areas of the Website that allow you to do so.

We may revise these terms and conditions at any time by updating this posting. You should check this Website from time to time to review the then-current terms and conditions because they are binding on you. Certain provisions of these terms and conditions may be superseded by expressly designated legal notices or terms located on particular pages of this Website. If you do not wish to accept any new terms and conditions after we have given notice, it is advised that you should not continue to use this Website.

Ordering from us

You are deemed to place an order with us by ordering via our online checkout process. We will send you an order acknowledgement by email, detailing the products you have ordered.

Our acceptance of an order takes place when we dispatch the order to the customer. When we dispatch the order the purchase contract will be made even if your payment has been processed immediately unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or you have cancelled your order for any reason.

We may refuse to accept an order:

(a) Where goods are not available
(b) Where we cannot obtain authorisation for your payment
(c) If there has been a pricing or product description error
(d) If you do not meet any eligibility criteria set out in our terms and conditions
(e) If the order is to be delivered outside of Europe. For orders outside the EU, please contact [email protected]
(f) If your order for personalised products contains content, which is deemed inappropriate for an order, i.e. threatening or abusive.
(g) If we believe your order is for commercial or other non-domestic concerns.

We reserve the right to cancel any order that we deem offensive.

Pricing

All prices include VAT (where applicable) at the current rates. We reserve the right to express the price exclusive of VAT and include it in the total price.

Where we charge separately for packing, carriage and insurance and other relevant charges, the appropriate rates are set out in our specified pricing structure shown elsewhere on this Website.

Our prices are reviewed periodically.

Delivery

We will deliver the Products ordered by you to the address, which you give for delivery when you make your order. If any of the details you have given us in your delivery address are incorrect, we are not liable for any items, which have not been received. If you require us to send out your item to a different address after it has been returned then there may be a charge for posting it out again.

You may specify a delivery address, which is different from your billing address, if, for example, you would like us to deliver the Products directly to the recipient.

We do deliver outside of Europe. If you are outside the EU, please just enter your address and change the country when specified. Our international delivery courier is Sky Net and international orders may be subject to import duties and taxes which are levied when the delivery reaches the specified destination. You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please note that we have no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order.

If the order is made with Next Day Delivery and placed before 2 PM then it will be processed and dispatched the same working day. Delivery will occur on the next working day in this instance. If you choose Standard Delivery then we aim to deliver all mainland UK standard orders within 5 working days. However, during busy periods we cannot guarantee standard delivery orders to arrive within the 5 working days. We would advise that if you require your order by a certain date to select the Express delivery service.

Whilst we make every effort to deliver goods on the day we specify, we cannot guarantee delivery on that day or accept liability for deliveries made outside this timescale.

Some postal addresses in Northern Ireland, some offshore islands and some remote areas of Great Britain may not be covered by our normal delivery services and so we may have to contact you to advise you of extra postal charges.

If you do not receive products ordered by you within 5 working days of the date on which you ordered them, we shall have no liability to you unless you notify us by email at [email protected] of the problem within 10 days of the date on which you ordered the products.

Our courier services are as follows: Royal Mail and Parcel Force for our Standard Delivery and Express services. We may also use other couriers if deemed more suitable for the size and or weight, in these cases we may us: Hermes or Yodel.

We reserve the right to wait up to 10 working days from the date of despatch before replacing an undelivered item. 

Order Cancellations

For most items, you have the legal right to cancel your order within 7 working days of receiving the goods. However, this does not apply to certain items, which we have made, personalised or customised specifically for you. It does not apply to any goods, which have been opened.

Order cancellations must be made in writing, quoting your order number, within 7 working days beginning the day after the day on which the item is delivered.

If you wish to cancel your order you can notify us by email to [email protected] before we have dispatched the goods to you or: Where goods have already been dispatched to you, the goods must be returned to us in accordance with the 'Returns and exchange' section below.

If it is a fault at our end, you can return them to us at any time within 14 days of receipt. We will issue a full refund or exchange as soon as possible after you cancel your order.

The item is your responsibility until it reaches us. For your own protection, we recommend that you send the parcel back to using a delivery service that insures you for the value of the goods, as we cannot be held responsible for items damaged or lost in the post.

Your rights to return the goods to us will not apply in the following circumstances:

• Any products that we have made, personalised or customised specifically for you.
• Where, in our opinion, you have not taken reasonable care of goods whilst in your possession and have not been returned with the original packaging.
• If you have made a spelling mistake on your order and it has been sent for production.

The item(s) must be returned in the condition in which you received it within 30 days of delivery. By the very individual nature of personalised products, they cannot be re-sold, and therefore we cannot accept returns if you have a change of mind.

We regret that postage and packing costs for unwanted items cannot be refunded. Even if you have qualified for free delivery when placing your order, a postage and packing charge of £1.50 per item will be levied on unwanted items and deducted from any refund given.

Discounts

If a discount was applied to your original order, the amount refunded will be adjusted to allow for the revised order value and appropriate discount level.

I received the wrong item

If the item you received is not what you originally ordered, please contact customer services quoting your order number, your name and address, details of the product and the reason for return, and whether you require a refund or a replacement.
