Cancellations:
The ‘seller’ will not accept any cancellations to the original order. Should the 'seller' have to process cancellations a 10% levy will be charged against those goods. Should the ‘purchaser’ delay delivery of any ordered goods for more than four weeks from the original scheduled date of dispatch, the 'seller' reserves the right to make the goods available for sale to other customers without notice.
Returns Policy:
Goods will not be accepted for credit without the following procedure being followed. Initially the ‘purchaser’ should contact the office of ‘the seller’ and discuss the reason for return. If the item is alleged as being faulty, at the sole discretion of the ‘seller’ sight of the item may be requested, alternatively the ‘seller’ may ask the ‘purchaser’ to destroy it. In the latter case a credit or replacement will be issued immediately. If the ‘seller’ requests sight of the goods a returns number will be issued. Under no circumstances will a credit note or replacement be offered without a valid returns number. When practical, second class recorded post should be used for the return. Upon receipt of the alleged faulty item it will be inspected and if necessary tested. The ‘seller’ will notify the ‘purchaser’ of the result and subject to the item being proven faulty will offer either credit or replacement. The ‘purchaser’ should be aware that the ‘seller’ receives less than 0.25% returns, of which more than 50% prove to be user issues e.g. if you sit on sunglasses they break.
Applicable Law:
This contract is subject to and is construed to be in accordance with ENGLISH law.
Exceptions:
No exception will be accepted by the ‘seller’ to these terms and conditions unless agreed to in writing. All orders placed with the ‘seller’ by any means will be accepted on an E & OE basis. Orders are accepted on the assumption that the ‘purchaser’ has read and agreed to these terms and conditions.
