Availability

  1. We reserve the right to withdraw our acceptance of your order if any goods are not readily available to us and to refund in full any payment you have made for them. Other goods ordered by you will be despatched in the normal way.

6.1 Orders advertised as pre-orders will be delivered within 3 working days of the date stated. Delivery may also be made earlier than the pre-order date with notification sent by the courier company being used to make delivery.

6.4 On rare occasions and due to circumstances out of Wovenhill’s control, there could be a delay and goods may be received outside of the pre-order delivery date stated at the time of ordering. If this happens an e-mail may be sent notifying the customers of the delay and giving the option to proceed with the order or to receive a full refund.

7.2 For delivery to Mainland UK at those locations set out in clause 7.1 carriage costs will normally be charged at the rate agreed between us of the time of your order which will be dependant on the goods ordered and means of carriage;

7.3 For delivery outside Mainland UK we can assist in facilitating delivery by providing you with details and prices of couriers. Any contract for delivery will be entered into directly between you and the courier.

  1. You shall be responsible for ensuring the goods you order are permitted to be imported to your country of residence and for obtaining any export and/or import licenses that may be required and for paying any import duties.

Where goods are impounded by any lawful authority or otherwise you shall remain liable to us for the price of such goods unless such action can be shown to have arisen due to a fault by us.

Delivery

  1. Goods will be delivered to the country and address you provide to us and will normally be dispatched within 3 working days of your order being accepted (if within Mainland ) unless we state otherwise.

  1. Where the goods are to be delivered in instalments, each delivery shall constitute a separate contract. Failure by us to deliver any instalment in accordance with these terms and conditions or any claim by you in respect of any one or more instalment shall not entitle you to treat the contract as repudiated as a whole.
