1. About these terms and conditions

1.1

These terms and conditions set out the basis on which we (Swaine Adeney Brigg) supply our products to you. These terms and conditions also set out the basis on which we allow you to use our websites www.herbert-johnson.com & www.swaineadeneybrigg.com

1.2

Please read these terms and conditions carefully as they contain important information. You may want to print and keep a copy of these terms and conditions for your reference (however, please note that we may update the terms and conditions from time to time – the most up to date version will be on our website).

1.3

If you do not wish to accept these terms and conditions, you should not use the websites and you should not order products from us.

1.4

If you continue to use the websites or if you order products from us, we will take this as your acceptance of these terms and conditions.

2. Ordering products

2.1

As you browse our website, you can add the products you want to order to your shopping bag. You can review the contents of your basket at any time by clicking on ‘shopping bag’ in the top menu. If you want to remove items from your basket, you can do so by clicking on the X in the remove column.

2.2

Please check this page carefully as you are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide is accurate (for example, the correct product, size, colour, quantity, etc) when you decide to check out.

2.3

When you are ready to purchase the products, you need to click the ‘check-out’ button. This will take you to a page where you can review your order. When you are ready to place your order, you need to click to indicate that you accept our terms and conditions and then click on the ‘place order’ button. By clicking the ‘place order’ button, you are making an offer to Swaine Adeney Brigg to purchase the products subject to these terms and conditions.

2.4

You will then be taken to an order acknowledgement page and provided with a unique order number.  Please note that this is not an acceptance by us of your order but is simply a confirmation that we have received your offer to purchase products from us.

2.5

We may accept or reject your order in our absolute discretion.

2.6

We will acknowledge acceptance of your order by sending you an email confirming your order and including details of the products we will supply, the estimated delivery date, the address you have provided for delivery, the price of the products (including any delivery and other charges that will apply) and the payment method you have selected. This is the point at which a legally binding contract (incorporating these terms and conditions) comes into existence between us. As such, we recommend that you print and keep a copy of the email (and these terms and conditions) for your reference. Only those products listed in the confirmation email will be included in the contract.

2.7

If an item you have ordered is out of stock, we will inform you by email as soon as practically possible. Where all of the items in your order are unavailable, your order will not be processed and a full refund will be made including any delivery charges. Some items are made special order and a lead time will be given. All bespoke requests are special order and a lead time of approximately 6 – 8 weeks should be expected.

3. Prices and payment

3.1

The price of the products shall be the price listed on our website on the date of your order. Our prices may change at any time, but price changes will not affect any orders that we have accepted and confirmed with you.

3.2

Our prices and delivery charges are inclusive of any applicable VAT at the rate appropriate to the country of receipt within the EU at the point of the transaction. VAT is included within the final prices and delivery charges as shown and, where applicable, is detailed on the checkout screen after the billing country has been selected as well as on the email we send to you confirming your order. As of 4th January, 2011, the UK VAT rate is 20% on all Swaine Adeney Brigg products.

3.3

Our prices do not include delivery charges, which are payable by you in addition to the cost of the products. Important information about delivery is set out in the ‘Delivery’ section below.

3.4

It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures. If we discover that the correct price of the products is less than our stated price, we will refund any over-payment to you. If the products’ correct price is higher than the price stated on our website, we will contact you to tell you and to see if you still want to proceed with your purchase. If the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing, we are not obliged to provide the products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.

3.5

Where we are providing products to you, you must make payment for the products in advance by credit or debit card. We currently accept payment with:

Maestro

Visa Debit

3.7

We will charge your credit or debit card upon placement of the order.

3.8

However, there may be times when our delivery to you is affected by events outside of our control. If this happens, we will try to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. However, we will not be liable to you for any losses you incur as a result of such delay.

4.6

If, after three attempts to deliver the products to you, we or our delivery partner is unable to deliver them, the products will be held for 5 days at a FedEx depot. If you (or the designated recipient of the products if this is not you) fail to pick up the products during this 5 day period, the products will be returned to Swaine Adeney Brigg and held in our warehouse for redelivery at a later date (at your expense). If you (or the designated recipient of the products if this is not you) fail to contact us to arrange redelivery within 90 days of the first delivery attempt, we reserve the right to dispose of the products as we see fit and will have no further liability to you.

4.7

In order to provide you with a delivery service, we will need to provide your personal information to our delivery partners in order for them to arrange the delivery of your order. Any personal information we provide to our delivery partners will be provided in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Right to cancel the contract

7.2

Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to cancel a contract made by way of distance communication (e.g. on-line). Under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 (referred to in these terms and conditions as the ‘DSRs’), customers within the EU have the right to cancel a contract made online. This means that during the relevant period (described in section 7.3 below) if you change your mind or for any other reason you decide you do not want to keep a product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the contract and receive a refund.

7.3

Where products are delivered in the UK or Europe, under the DSRs, you have a period of 7 working days, starting from the day after the day you receive the products, within which you may cancel the contract. Working days means that Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays are not included in this period.

7.4

To cancel a contract, you must contact us in writing by sending an email to enquiries@swaineadeneybrigg.com. We recommend that you keep a copy of your cancellation notification for your own records. We will then inform you how to return the products.

7.5

If you want to exercise your right to cancel the contract and the products have been delivered to you:

7.5.1

You must return the products to us within 7 days of receiving them.

7.5.2

Unless the products are faulty, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the products to us; and

7.5.3

You have a legal obligation to take care of the products while they are in your possession.

7.6

If you cancel in this way, you will receive a full refund of the price you paid for the products and any applicable delivery charges you paid to receive the products. We will process the refund due to you as soon as the products are received and checked in our warehouse, and, in any case, within 30 calendar days of the day on which you gave us notice of cancellation. We will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay.

7.7

Details of your legal right to cancel and an explanation of how to exercise it are also provided in the email sent to you confirming your order.

7.7.1

Goods that have been personalised such as embossed leather goods and engraved collar umbrellas are not exchangeable or refundable.

7.9

Where incorrect or faulty items are returned to us, we will cover the cost of the return postage.
