2. SERVICE AVAILABILITY

The Site is only intended for use by people resident in the United Kingdom and Irish republic ("Serviced Countries"). We do not accept orders from individuals outside those countries. Some restrictions may be placed on the extent to which we accept orders from specific countries.

3. ORDERING

• By placing an order through the Site, you warrant that you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts and you are resident in one of the Serviced Countries.
• After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging receipt of your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Product has been dispatched ("Dispatch Confirmation"). The contract between you and us ("Contract") will only be formed when you are sent the Dispatch Confirmation.
• The Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch has been confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.

4. CONSUMER RIGHTS

• If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within seven working days, beginning on the day after you received the Products. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in clause 8 below).
• To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing. You must also return the Products to us as soon as reasonably practicable, and at your own cost. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation.
• You will not have any right to cancel a Contract for the supply of any of the following Products:
• Briefs are non-returnable if the hygiene seal has been broken/removed.
• Earrings are non-returnable unless faulty
• Cosmetics are non-returnable once opened
• Details of your statutory right of cancellation, and an explanation of how to exercise it, are provided in the Dispatch Confirmation. This provision does not affect your other statutory rights as a consumer.

5. AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY

Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within a reasonable time of the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

6. RISK AND TITLE

Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within a reasonable time of the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

• The Products will be your responsibility from the time of delivery.
• Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges.

7. PRICE AND PAYMENT

• The price of the Products and our delivery charges will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
• Product prices include VAT. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.
• Product prices and delivery charges are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.
• Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you that we are rejecting it.
• If the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have been reasonably recognised by you as an error, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.
• Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card or via our PayPal account. We accept payment with [LIST OF CREDIT AND DEBIT CARDS]. We will not charge your credit or debit card until we dispatch your order.

8. OUR REFUNDS POLICY

• If you return a Product to us:
• because you have cancelled the Contract between us within the seven-day cooling-off period (see clause 4.1 above), we will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day on which you gave us notice of cancellation. In this case, we will refund the price of the Product in full, and any applicable delivery charges. However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us.
• for any other reason (for instance, because you have notified us in accordance with clause 13 that you do not agree to a change in these terms and conditions or in any of our policies, or because you consider that the Product is defective), we will examine the returned Product and will notify you of your refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund. We will refund the price of a defective Product in full, any applicable delivery charges and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.
• We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.
