2. Ordering

A. When you place an order online through our website you are representing and warranting to us;

1. You are at least 18 years of age; and
2. You have capacity to enter into a legally binding contract.

B. When you place an order online you will receive an email from us confirming receipt of your order. This does not mean that we have accepted your order. Your order constitutes your offer to us to buy a product or products from us. All and every order placed by our customers on line is subject to acceptance by us. Such acceptance will be given by us sending you an email that we have accepted your order by dispatching the ordered goods to you. The contract between us is made only at the time we send you an email confirming dispatch and up until that time we reserve the right not to fulfil any or all orders placed by you. In the event we are unable to dispatch all the products you have ordered the contract between us will relate solely to those products we dispatch or which we have confirmed we have dispatched.

C. We may decide not to accept your order for a variety of reasons amongst which may be the following;

i. Non availability of product from stock

ii. You not being able to fulfil the criteria set out in these Terms & Conditions.

iii. Our being unable to obtain appropriate authorisation for your payment.

iv. A pricing or identification error of the product or products.

D. As a consumer you have the right to cancel a contract to purchase product(s) at any time within 14 days from the day the product(s) is or are delivered to you. In the event you choose to do so you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the product(s) in accordance with our refund policy. In order to cancel a contract you must notify us in writing (which shall include email) of your intention to do so and return the product(s) to us immediately which will be at your cost and risk. We expect product(s) to be returned to us in the same condition as when they were dispatched to you. This provision does not affect your statutory rights.

3. Product Description

A. We make every effort to ensure that the information on our website relating to our products is accurate in all respects and up to date. We regularly update our website but it is possible that the information appearing on our website from time to time may not reflect the position at the precise time you place an order. We will confirm the price of the product(s) in the email we send you to confirm dispatch of the product(s).

B. We take great care with reproducing the exact colour of products. The limitations of colour representation and the individual colour settings of your PC screen may mean a slight variation to the colour of the product. We take every care to ensure accurate descriptions of product and colour but specifications vary and product and/or colour may vary from that shown on our website.

4. Pricing and Payment

A. Save for obvious error our website will display the price of all our products. The price shown on our website excludes the cost of delivery which will be added to the amount due from you when you complete the transaction. Our prices may vary from time to time but any changes will not affect orders which we have accepted and where we have sent you an email confirmation.

B. If you are ordering from outside the European Union you should be aware that there may be import duties and taxes to be paid when the delivery reaches the country from which you are ordering. We recommend you check before ordering what these charges may be as we have no control over them and cannot be responsible for any additional charges you may have to pay as a result. It is for you to comply with all applicable laws and regulations of your country from where you place your order and Woolwarmers cannot and will not be liable for any breach by you of such laws and/or regulations.

C. We at Woolwarmers strive to make shopping on our website as safe and secure as possible. We cannot and will not be responsible for fraudulent use on our website of a lost and/or stolen credit or debit card. We will of course assist your credit/debit card company where we are able to do so once any fraud has been reported to them.

5. Delivery

A. Once we have received and accepted your order and received full payment our aim is to deliver, for orders in the Netherlands, within 5 working days and for orders outside the Netherlands within 10 working days. All orders are of course subject to stock availability. Each item ordered is an individual order although we will where possible consolidate multiple orders into one shipment. We may for stock and packaging requirements need to ship products to you in multiple packages and at different times.

B. We will use a third party or parties to deliver the product(s) to you. This may be through the postal system or via a courier company like DHL. We cannot and will not be responsible for the third party failing to deliver the product(s) to you. In the event that the third party requires you to sign to acknowledge receipt of delivery we are entitled to rely on any signature that may be given by you or any other person at the address the delivery is made to. In the event you direct the party making the delivery to leave the parcel without you signing for it then we cannot and will not be responsible if the delivery fails to reach you as a result of theft or for any other reason.

6. Returns

A. Any product (other than a sale item) may be returned to us for a full refund, replacement or exchange within ten days from the date of dispatch.

B. If you return a product to us because you have exercised your right to cancel the contract within the 14 day period, referred to in condition 2 D above, we will process your refund as soon as possible. And in any event within 28 days of the date we received your notice of cancellation. If your notice is received on a weekend or a public holiday the 28 day period shall start to run from the first working day thereafter. We shall not refund you the cost of delivery of the product to you and you shall also be responsible for the cost of returning the product to us including any appropriate duty (such as VAT) payable if you are returning the product from outside the European Union.

C. If you are returning the product to us for any other reason such as claiming the product is defective we will examine the product and if we decide a refund is appropriate we shall notify you thereof within a reasonable period of time and in any event within 28 days of our notifying you that you are entitled to a refund. If you return a product that we agree is defective we shall also refund you the cost of delivery to you and the cost of returning the product to us. In the event that we do not agree the product is defective we shall return it to you stating the reasons for our decision.

D. We will normally make any refunds using the same method of payment used by you when you placed your order.
