Craft products are not suitable for children under the age of three due to small parts. Some of our products may also come wrapped in polythene bags which would present a risk to children. These terms and conditions set out the basis on which you can use and place orders for items on this website. These terms tell you who we are, how we will provide products to you, how you and we may change or end the contract, what to do if there is a problem and other important information. If you think that there is a mistake in these terms or require any changes, please contact us to discuss. By ordering goods from this website, you are deemed to have understood and accepted these terms. These terms and conditions are correct at the time of going to press. If any of this information changes we will tell you by updating the terms and conditions on this website www.artandcraftfactory.co.uk Our website is primarily intended for the sale of our products in the UK. However, we may accept orders from and deliver to addresses outside the UK. If you are outside the UK and are interested in buying some of our goods, please email or call us in the first instance. You may contact us at this address or by email sales@artandcraftfactory.co.uk or call us on 01484 487522. If we have to contact you we will do so by telephone or by writing to you at the email address or postal address you provided to us in your order. We will use the personal information you provide to us to supply the products to you; to process your payment for the products and if you agreed to this during the order process, to inform you about similar products and offers that we provide, but you may stop receiving these at any time by contacting us or using our online procedure. When we use the words “writing” or “written” in these terms, this includes emails.
After placing an order, you will receive an email from us to acknowledge that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to confirm your order has been dispatched, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us. A contract is not formed at the point in time that payment has been taken from you by Art & Craft Factory. Until the goods are despatched the order may not be accepted by Art & Craft Factory or may be cancelled by you. For security reasons we may restrict the volumes of certain items to be sold in any one transaction. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order via email confirmation. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order. Following formation of the contract Art & Craft Factory shall continue to own any goods ordered until it has received payment in full.
If you wish to make a change to the product you have ordered, please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the product, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change.
We may change the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and/or to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements. These changes will not affect your use of the product.
The prices shown are inclusive of any value added tax or sales tax. Due to circumstances beyond our control, prices may have to be altered up or down, including any alterations to the rate of value added tax. All prices shown are cash prices in sterling. The current price of the product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of products on the website and on your order are correct. However it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. If the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.
All orders for products are subject to availability. Please note: Items we manufacture such as pipe cleaners, pom poms, paper shapes and sequins are often made to order and therefore orders for these products can take longer to dispatch during busy periods.
Art & Craft Factory take great care when doing photography to get the colours as accurate as possible. The limitations of colour reproduction and the individual colour settings of your device may mean a slight variation. Every reasonable care has been taken to ensure that the descriptions are accurate. However, specifications may change.
The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our website. The time taken for your goods to be delivered will depend on your chosen method of delivery. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this, we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the products cannot be posted through your letterbox, our courier / Royal Mail will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery / where to make a collection in accordance with their terms. If after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot, we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection within a reasonable time, we may end the contract by writing to you, in which case, we will refund any money you have paid in advance for products we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the contract.
