Introduction

If you buy goods from us you agree to be legally bound by this contract. This contract is only available in English. No other languages will apply to this contract. When buying any goods you also agree to be legally bound by our Website Terms and Conditions, a copy of which is available here  and any documents referred to in them; extra terms which may add to, or replace some of, this contract. This may happen for security, legal or regulatory reasons. We will contact you to let you know if we intend to do this by giving you one (1) months’ notice. You can end this contract at any time by giving one (1) months’ notice if we tell you extra terms apply.

All of the above documents form part of this contract as though set out in full here.

Information we give you

By law, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 say that we must give you certain key information before a legally binding contract between you and us is made. The key information we give you by law forms part of this contract (as though it is set out in full here). If we have to change any key information once a legally binding contract between you and us is made, we can only do this if you agree to it.

Your privacy and personal information

Our Privacy Policy is available here.
Your privacy and personal information are important to us. Any personal information that you provide to us will be dealt with in line with our Privacy Policy, which explains what personal information we collect from you, how and why we collect, store, use and share such information, your rights in relation to your personal information and how to contact us and supervisory authorities if you have a query or complaint about the use of your personal information.

Ordering goods from us

Below we set out how a legally binding contract between you and us is made.

You place an order from us. We will confirm the availability and price of the product(s), provide you with delivery information, advise you of any delivery charges (for international orders), and provide you with information on how to pay for your purchase. We will also provide you with a copy of these terms. If you do not agree with any of these terms, you should not proceed with your order. Once you have read these terms and wish to proceed with your purchase, you may then complete your order by paying for the product(s) and any associated costs using the payment information we provide to you. Please read and check your order carefully before submitting it.

We may contact you to say that we do not accept your order. This is typically for the following reasons:
- the goods are unavailable;
- we cannot authorise your payment;
- you are not allowed to buy the goods from us;
- we are not allowed to sell the goods to you;
- you have ordered too many goods; or
- there has been a mistake on the pricing or description of the goods.

We will only accept your order when we email you to confirm this (“Confirmation Email”). At this point a legally binding contract will be in place between you and us and we will dispatch the goods to you.

Right to cancel this contract

For most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund without giving any reason.
The right to change your mind does not apply to products which are personalised, bespoke or made as per your particular instructions. In such cases, you may only cancel this contract if the product you have purchased from us is faulty (see clause below). The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day you receive the goods you have purchased. To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (i.e. a notification sent by email). You can use the model cancellation form set out in the box below, but it is not obligatory.

Signature of consumer(s) (only if this form is notified on paper), Date:
To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.

If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day we received back from you any goods supplied; or (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the goods; or if there were no goods supplied, 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this contract. We will make the reimbursement ensuring you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.

If you have received goods

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods and you are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

Delivery

We use DPD to deliver our goods to customers within the United Kingdom, and we use DHL to deliver our goods to international customers outside of the United Kingdom. The estimated date for delivery of the goods is set in the Delivery & Returns information provided for each product on our website. If something happens which is outside of our control and affects the estimated date of delivery we will let you have a revised estimated date for delivery of the goods.

Delivery of the goods will take place when we deliver them to the address that you gave to us. Unless you and we agree otherwise, if we cannot deliver your goods within 30 days, we will let you know, cancel your order and give you a refund. You are responsible for the goods when delivery has taken place. In other words, the risk in the goods passes to you when you take possession of the goods.

Payment

We accept payment via credit cards and debit cards. We also accept payment via payment providers or bank transfer. We do not accept cash.
We will do all that we reasonably can to ensure that all of the information you give us when paying for the goods is secure by using an encrypted secure payment mechanism. However, in the absence of negligence on our part, any failure by us to comply with this contract or our Privacy Policy or breach by us of our duties under applicable laws we will not be legally responsible to you for any loss that you may suffer if a third party gains unauthorised access to any information that you give us.

Your credit card or debit card will be charged as follows:

- for purchases from our Everyday Friends collection, payment of the full price will take place at the time you make your order, and the purchased product(s) will be dispatched to you once payment has been received;
- for purchases of bespoke or personalised products, payment of a non-refundable deposit in the amount of fifty percent (50%) of the total value of each product will take place at the time you make your order, and payment of the balance of the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the total value of each product will take place once the product has been completed and is ready to be dispatched to you. The purchased product(s) will be dispatched to you once payment has been received.

If your payment is not received by us and you have already received the goods, you must pay for such goods within three (3) days or return them to us as soon as possible. If so, you must keep the goods in your possession, take reasonable care of them (including ensuring that you follow any instructions or manuals given with the goods) and not use them before you return them to us. If you do not return any goods (such as where you have not paid for them) we may collect the goods from you at your expense. We will try to contact you to let you know if we intend to do this. Nothing in this clause affects your legal rights to cancel the contract during the ‘cooling off’ period.

The price of the goods is in pounds sterling (£)(GBP) includes VAT at the applicable rate and includes the cost of delivering the goods within the United Kingdom. Delivery charges for international orders to be delivered outside of the United Kingdom will be advised to you prior to you making your order and the price of goods is in either EUR or US Dollar ($).

Nature of the goods

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 gives you certain legal rights (also known as ‘statutory rights’), for example, the goods are of satisfactory quality; are fit for purpose; and match the description, sample or model. We must provide you with goods that comply with your legal rights. The packaging of the goods may be different from that shown on the website. While we try to make sure that all weights, sizes and measurements set out on the website are as accurate as possible, there may be a small tolerance of up to one per cent (1%) in such weights, sizes and measurements in the goods and the colours of our goods are displayed accurately on the website, the actual colours that you see on your computer may vary depending on the monitor that you use.

Any goods sold at discount prices; as remnants; or as substandard will be identified and sold as such. Please check that they are of a satisfactory quality for their intended use.

If we can’t supply certain goods, we may need to substitute them with alternative goods of equal or better standard and value. In this case:
we will let you know if we intend to do this but this may not always be possible and you can refuse to accept such substitutes, in which case we will offer you a refund or a replacement and let you know how long such an offer remains open for.
