3. Description of products and accuracy of information

We try to ensure that the content and information on the Website are correct at the time of posting. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee this at all times and any person using information contained in the Website does so entirely at their own risk.

We take all reasonable care to ensure that all details, descriptions and prices of products are correct at the time and point of sale. Although we aim to keep the Website as up-to-date as possible, the information such as availability may not always reflect the position exactly at the moment you place an order. However, we cannot confirm the price or availability of a product until your order is accepted.

With images on the Website, please note that colours and detail as they appear on-screen may not be the exact representative of what they actually are and may vary according to your individual computer settings. This could also be due to the fact that most of our products are hand-produced, hand-printed or hand-glazed which makes each item slightly different and individualised.



4. Pricing

The prices of the products are as set out in the Website. When we accept an order from you, the price for the product will be the price set out at the time the order is placed. We reserve the right to change the price, and add or remove discounts at anytime.

The product price is only for the item and does not include postage and packing. There will be a delivery charge made relative to the size, weight and number of items ordered. Delivery charges are clearly shown as soon as items are place in the shopping cart.



5. Orders

We shall sell to you the quantity, description and specifications of those products which you have set out in your order which has been accepted by us. Once you have placed your order, we will acknowledge it with an email reply. The email will confirm details of your purchase and the approximate dates that we will despatch your order. Once products are despatched from our office, we will send you another email.

Orders are accepted at our sole discretion and we reserve the right to reject or cancel any order at any time. This may be due to the products being out of stock, inability to obtain authorisation for your payment, any errors in pricing or product information, or other circumstances. If we are unable to fulfil your order following our order acknowledgement, we will contact you by email, post or telephone advising you of this.



6. Payment

You must pay us the full price of your order before we send any part of it. Banking charges will be borne by us. All other charges relating to payment in a currency other than Sterling pound will be borne by you. Any details given by us in relation to exchange rates are approximate only and may vary from time to time.

We will retain the legal ownership of the products until full payment has been made by you and payment received by us. Legal ownership of the products will immediately revert to us if we refund any such payment to you.

If we are able to make delivery in advance of the given date we will contact you.

• Multiple items: If your order is for multiple items and we are unable to deliver the whole order at one go, we will part deliver the items in instalments and will inform you of this. Each delivery shall constitute a separate contract and any failure by us to deliver
  any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these conditions, or any claim by you in respect of any one or more instalments will not entitle you to treat the contract as a whole as repudiated.

• Fees: Delivery fees include handling and packing as well as postage costs. Handling fees are fixed, whereas transport fees vary according to total weight of the shipment.

• Responsibility: As we are dealing with art objects, we will endeavour to wrap and box all items to ensure that they are well-protected during shipment. Please check your products upon receipt. Delivery of your products will be despatched at your own risk to

  everything other than damage due to our negligence will cease upon delivery. If you delay a delivery, our responsibility will end on the date we agree to deliver them.

• If we fail for any reason to fully or partially deliver your order, any reimbursement shall be no more than the price of the products and any delivery cost you paid for the full/instalment delivery.
