3. Products and Services.
Products offered by the Vendor, including for sale through the Website, include souvenir items for the church's 150th anniversary, music by the church's resident music group 'Ethos' and other items as may be added from time to time. The Vendor undertakes that all products are of suitable quality for purpose. However, Customers are asked to ensure that size, style and colour details are carefully checked before ordering as mistakes may not be rectifiable. Precise colour or specification details may vary from illustrations.
4. Conditions of Contract.
No contract will subsist between you the Customer and the Vendor for the sale of product(s) or service(s) to you, unless and until the Vendor accepts and confirms your order in writing or by email and the Customer's credit/debit card has been charged with the value of the goods. The contract when formed will be deemed to have been concluded in England and will be interpreted, construed and enforced in all respects in accordance with the laws of England, and will be subject to the jurisdiction of the English Courts.
In the event that any clause within these terms is deemed at law to be unreasonable or unenforceable such clause will be deleted and such deletion will have no bearing on the validity or interpretation of the remaining clauses.
5. Delivery.
Delivery of products ordered from stock will normally be made within 7 working days. Carriage costs will be charged as indicated on the order and confirmed to the Customer with the order acknowledgement. For more precise information, please refer to the 'Delivery Details' page.
The Vendor will use its best endeavours to ensure timely delivery of all orders but time of delivery can not be made of the essence of the contract as actual delivery to the Customer will be by independent carrier and outside the direct control of the Vendor.
6. Price and Payment.
Prices shown on the Website are free from VAT and all other sales taxes. The Vendor reserves the right to vary prices to reflect changes in price from its suppliers without notice and the contract price will be the price quoted in the contract confirmation.
The price of the contract must be paid in full prior to dispatch of the products or fulfilment of the services unless otherwise agreed. Payment is of the essence of the contract and the Vendor will be relieved of any obligation under the contract if payment is not made in accordance with the contract terms.
7. Payment and Personal Data Security.
To facilitate effective processing of orders the Vendor offers secure payment facilities online, via the Website and can accept payment by major credit or debit cards or via a Customer's PayPal account. To this end cookies are used by the Website server to track order details only and Customers are asked to accept these files from the Website server.
Personal details are encrypted during transmission and will not be passed by the Vendor to any third party without your explicit permission.
Alternatively, payment may be made in person at the Vendor's premises.
8. Warranty.
The Vendor warrants that all products and services supplied will be of suitable quality and fit for their designed purpose.
Exceptionally however, any discounted or 'sale' products will be sold 'as is' and are specifically excluded from this guarantee.
No guarantee is offered where products are used for purposes other than that for which they were designed.
This warranty is in addition to, and does not affect, your statutory rights.
9. Cancellation.
Save as required by the UK Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000, or pursuant to clause 6 above, the contract will be non-cancellable by the Customer, once confirmed by the Vendor. Ordering mistakes by Customers will not constitute grounds for cancellation. Acceptance of cancellation may be made by the Vendor in exceptional circumstances and any refund or part refund will be solely at the discretion of the Vendor.
10. Returns.
In the unlikely event of products being faulty or of sub-standard quality, please report such problem immediately to the Vendor using the enquiry form or contact details on the Website. Arrangements for the return of such product will be made on your behalf and the cost of return and replacement will be met fully by the Vendor. Goods should be returned together with original packaging wherever possible.
In the event of cancellation of the contract, the Customer will be responsible for the safe return, and all costs of return, of the products in an undamaged, unworn state, together with all original packaging.
11. Liability.
To the maximum extent permissible in law, the Vendor excludes all liability for any loss or consequential loss however incurred by the Customer, arising from any action or omission or failure by the Vendor in connection with the contract.
In any event the maximum liability of the Vendor will be not more than the purchase price of the products or services under the contract, should the contract be cancelled for any reason.
12. Title and Risk.
Title in the goods will pass to the Customer on payment of the full purchase price. Risk however, will be carried by the Vendor until such time as the products are delivered to the Customer.
13. Force Majeure.
In the event of circumstances outside the Vendor's control affecting the performance of the contract, the Vendor will be entitled to notify the Customer and revise or cancel the contract to reflect the changed circumstances and the Customer will accept such changes.
14. Notices.
All communications in connection with the contract will be deemed to have been served if sent by ordinary mail to the Customer's postal address or by email to the Customer's email address, as notified to the Vendor by the Customer.
