We accept payment via the payment methods included on our Website. Payment providers may have their own terms and conditions which apply in addition to ours. It

ITEMS
All of our items are handmade and will therefore have natural variations. The descriptions on our Website are indicative. Descriptions of Items are subject to change at any time without notice. We reserve the right to discontinue any Item at any time.

Whilst we make every reasonable effort to display the Items as accurately as possible, the colours and images of the Items as they appear on our Website may vary from how they appear in person. We cannot guarantee that your device will display any colours and images accurately.

We do not make any promises that any specific products will be available or accept any liability if they are not available or are delayed for any reason. We may replace products with like products in our discretion. Our liability to you for any incorrect listings is limited to amending or withdrawing that Item once we are made aware of it.

PERSONALISATION
We make a number of personalised Items where we will ask you for your preferences about how they are made. For example, we may send you templates of the Items to ask you the preferred location of embroidery. You understand that this is open to interpretation by our embroiderers and that there may be some variation from what you have in your mind. We encourage you to provide as much detail as you can to reduce the interpretation risk.

SHIPPING
Shipping will be either via Pack and Send or our network of couriers which we use at our discretion. We cannot guarantee delivery times. However, you should contact us if you have not received your delivery within the following timeframes:
– Standard shipping: between seven (7) and ten (10) days of us notifying you that your order has been shipped; and
– Express shipping: between one (1) and three (3) days of us notifying you that your order has been shipped.

notification of a delay, we will notify you as soon as practicable. If you have not received your Items within our suggested timeframes, please email us with your full name and order number, and we will investigate on your behalf.

CANCELLATION OF ORDERS
We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone at any time without being obliged to provide a reason.

DELIVERY
If there is no one at the delivery address and no arrangements have been made for someone to accept delivery, the Items may be left at the delivery address, whether or not you have instructed us to do so, or we may return the Item to a depot and either try to deliver again later or require that it be collected from a depot.
