CANCELLATIONS

By law, consumers in the UK are protected by the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts Regulation. More information about these can be found here:

I want to return my goods, what are my rights? - Which?

The Consumer Contracts Regulation gives a cancellation period of 14 days from the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the moment you receive your order. You then have a further 14 days to notify us that you would like to return your order.

You have a legal right to a refund if you return faulty goods within 30 days or receiving the faulty item. If you find a fault after the 30 day period but before a 6 month period we may offer to repair or replace the faulty item. If the repair or replacement is unsuitable you can then request a refund.

Customised goods specifically made to order

All goods which can be purchased directly from this website are covered by the statutory right to cancellation within fourteen working days, with the exception of bespoke custom items (including but not limited to custom printed tablecloths, clothing, mugs or any other customised items) or items which have been made to order or items which have been made to your specification and requirements.

Exceptions from 28 Day Returns Policy - customised and personalised goods

Both the statutory fourteen day cancellation period, and 28 Day Returns Policy do not apply to goods custom made to order, or personalised to your requirements, unless the goods are defective or have been damaged in transit (see below).

Faulty Items

We must be made aware of custom items that are received in faulty condition within 48 hours from receipt of goods.

Items dispatched and received over 6 months previously will not be eligible for returns/refunds or replacements under any circumstances without proof of the fault existing at the time of purchase.

Business to business transactions are exempt from the Consumer Contracts Regulations.

Any item that has been altered by the customer will deem to have been "accepted" by the customer.
