Terms & Conditions of Sale

When you place an order on my website you are accepting my Terms and Conditions of Sale as follows :

Ordering

When you place an order I will need your name, address, e-mail address, credit/debit card number and card expiry date. For your security I don't store your credit/debit card details this information is processed securely by Stripe or Paypal (as applicable). When your request has been processed I will notify you of receipt of your order, and when your order is ready and has been posted I'll let you know via e-mail.

Payment

Payment for all orders is at point of sale and payment is made using my online payment facility. You can pay by credit/debit card, Apple Pay, or you can use PayPal. The total cost of your order is the price of the products ordered with UK delivery included (unless clearly marked otherwise). UK delivery charges are not added on at the checkout they are within each product price on each product page. By entering card details onto my system you confirm that the credit or debit card being used is yours. All credit/debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorization by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to or does not for any reason authorise payment to me I will not be liable for any delay or non delivery. To be eligible to purchase products on this website you must be over 18 years of age, give a delivery address and possess a valid credit or debit card.

I reserve the right to reject any offer of purchase by anyone at any time.

Stock and Delivery

Please bear in mind the delivery periods for the products may vary as I often only make these items to order so please take this into account if you are ordering a gift for a specific time. I work very hard to meet the delivery times quoted and try to be as quick as possible but please bear in mind that delivery times are estimates and postal services aren't always as reliable as they could be. In addition over public holidays delivery may also take longer. If you need something by a given date please do contact me via e-mail and I will do my best to help.

Product pricing and Descriptions

Each product is sold subject to the description but please remember that these are all handmade and not mass produced and therefore slight variables in design and colour are always possible.

Contract Cancellation

If you change your mind you're entitled to cancel a purchasing contract provided you do so no longer than 14 days after the day on which you receive the products. You will be given a full refund which includes the initial postage charge. Please note that this does not apply to bespoke or custom made pieces. If you wish to cancel this contract prior to order despatch please contact me as soon as possible. If your order has already been despatched please follow the procedure set out in my returns policy


Returns Policy

I hope you will be very happy with your purchase but if you change your mind and wish to return an item please let me know by e-mail no more than 14 days after the date on which you received it. Please e-mail me on hello@sarahmorpeth.com with your contact details and order details and I will then send you a return address and details of how to proceed.

Items should be returned within 14 days of notifying me in its original packaging. The refund will include the original delivery charge but I am sorry I am unable to offer free returns unless the item is faulty in which case I will pay for the return.
