Terms & Conditions

These terms and conditions form the basis on which you can visit us and our website and order goods from us. Please read them carefully as they contain important information. Ordering goods from us means that you accept these terms and conditions.

General terms and conditions

This site is owned and operated by Laura Gillingham, Flat 1, Beaufort Mansions, Beaufort Street, London, SW3 5AG trading as “Embellish the Ordinary”. If you have any queries about these terms and conditions or if you have any comments or complaints about our website, you can contact us at hello@embellishingtheordinary.com. “We”, “us” and related terms refer to Embellish the Ordinary. “You” and related terms refer to you as a user of this site and/or a customer of Embellish the Ordinary.

  1. The contract between us

    We must receive payment of the whole of the price for the goods that you order before your order can be accepted. Payment of the price for the goods represents an offer on your part to purchase the goods, which will be accepted by us only when the goods are dispatched. Only at this point is a legally binding contract created between us.

     

  2. Acknowledgement of your order

    To enable us to process your order, you will need to provide us with your e-mail address. We will notify you by e-mail promptly to confirm receipt of your order and to confirm details. This exchange of emails does not constitute a contract between us.

     

  3. Ownership of rights

    All rights, including copyright, in this website are owned by Embellishing the Ordinary. Any use of this website or its contents, including copying or storing it or them in whole or part, other than for your own personal, non-commercial use, is prohibited without our permission. You may not modify, distribute or repost anything on this website for any purpose.

     

  4. Accuracy of content

    We have taken care in the preparation of the content of this website, in particular to ensure that prices quoted are correct at the time of publishing and that all goods have been described accurately. However, orders will only be processed on the basis of descriptions and prices which are accurate at the time of processing.

     

  5. Damage to your computer

    We try to ensure that this website is free from viruses or defects. However, we cannot guarantee that your use of this website or any websites accessible through it will not cause damage to your computer. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the right equipment to use the website. Except in the case of negligence on our part, we will not be liable to any person for any loss or damage which may arise to computer equipment as a result of using this website.

     

  6. Availability

    All orders are subject to acceptance and availability. If the goods you have ordered are not available from stock, we will contact you by e-mail or phone (if you have given us details). You will have the option either to wait until the item is available from stock or to cancel your order.

     

  7. Amending your order

    You may amend your order up to the point on which you click on “submit” during the ordering process.

     

  8. Price

    The prices payable for goods that you order are as set out on our website. All prices are inclusive of VAT at the current rates and are correct at the time of putting the information on the website.
    Where it is not possible to accept your order at the price indicated on the website, we will advise you by email, and offer you goods of the specification and description at the price stated in the email. We will state in the email the period for which the offer or the price remains valid.

     

  9. Payment terms

    We will take payment upon receipt of your order from your credit or debit card. We accept no liability if a delivery is delayed because you did not give us the correct payment details. If it is not possible to obtain full payment for the goods from you, then we can refuse to process your order and/or suspend any further deliveries to you. This does not affect any other rights we may have.

    10.2 We will deliver the goods to the address you specify for delivery in your order. It is important that this address is accurate. Please be precise about where you would like the goods left if you are out when we deliver. We cannot accept any liability for any loss or damage to the goods once they have been delivered in accordance with your delivery instructions. We will aim to deliver the goods by the date we estimate for delivery but delivery times are not guaranteed and time is not of the essence. In general, we will aim to deliver your goods within 7 days from the day after the day we received your order. If delivery is delayed beyond this time, we will contact you to agree a mutually acceptable alternative date.
    10.3 You will become the owner of the goods you have ordered when we dispatch them to you.  From that point the goods will be held at your risk and we will not be liable for their loss or destruction.
