You agree that proof of delivery supplied by our delivery company is sufficient evidence to establish that goods have been received.


Stock Shortages

We try to keep our stock status up to date but sometimes an item can go out of stock unexpectedly.  If an ordered item is not in stock we will contact you to discuss possible alternatives or advise when more stock will be available. We will try and ship back ordered items within 14 days of your original order. Many of our stock items are sourced from outside the UK so it may take up to 4 weeks for your order to be completely satisfied.


Tax

We are not VAT registered.


Rewards Points

Rewards points are issued for all items purchased from this website.  They can be 'cashed in' against all products.

Reward points are only allocated to registered customers.

'Guest' customers do not accumulate reward points.

Online discounts, online special pricing and/or discount codes are only valid for online orders.


Workshop Bookings

We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule a workshop due to circumstances beyond our control. 

Deposit payments are non-refundable and non-transferable unless we have to cancel or reschedule a workshop.  Balance payments are due on the day of your workshop by cash or credit/debit card.

If you make a full payment for your workshop at the time of booking we will  refund in full if you cancel, in writing, within 30 days of the workshop.  If you cancel between 30 and 15 days we will refund 50% of monies paid.  No refund will be made if you cancel within 14 days of the workshop.


Returns Policy
Your rights to return goods are protected under the EU Distance Selling Directive.

You are entitled to cancel your order and return the goods within 14 days of receipt for a full refund, including the cost of delivery. Complete a returns form (link at foot of page) to instigate a return.  Failure to complete the returns form could result in a delay refunding any monies owed to you. Your refund will be paid within 14 days. You are responsible for the cost and risk of loss or damage when returning the goods, so you should take out enough postal insurance to cover their value. This cancellation policy does not affect your rights when we are at fault - for example, if goods are faulty or misdescribed.

Any goods returned should be in an unused, saleable condition.  Ear fittings cannot be returned unless they are faulty.

 

These terms apply to your order. We may change our terms and conditions at any time, so please do not assume that the same terms will apply in the future.

None of these terms affect your legal rights and these are not diminished in any way. If any term is held to be invalid under any applicable statute or rule of law, that term is automatically omitted from the terms to minimum extent necessary to comply with the law and without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remainder.
