Returns

We are happy to refund or exchange any unused items within 30 days of receipt. Goods must be returned in the same condition they were received. All returned goods are the responsibility of the customer until received by us. We therefore recommend that you ask the Post Office for a certificate of postage and retain it for your reference. Without this we cannot refund any money if we do not receive the returned items.

Please notify us by email at info@gabrielaaustin.com before returning any goods stating whether you require a refund or an exchange.

Refunds

Our refunds policy concurs with government recomendations: www.oft.gov.uk/business-advice/treating-customers-fairly/dshome/forcustomers.   Goods can be returned within a period of 30 days from purchase and must be accompanied with a note detailing if an exchange or refund is required. Return delivery charges are the full responsibility of the customer unless the product is returned because of a defect or an error made by us, in which case we will refund the postage costs incurred by you for returning the item.

Refunds are credited to the original method of payment.

This page (together with the documents referred to on it) tells you the terms and conditions on which the Company supplies any of the products (“Products”) listed on this website gabrielaaustin.com  (“the Site”) to you. Please read the following terms and conditions carefully before ordering any Products from the Site. You should understand that by ordering any of the Products, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. You may wish to print a copy for future reference.

1. Information About the Company
www.gabrielaaustin.com is a site operated by the Company. The Company’s main trading address is 20 Knotts Place, Sevenoaks, TN13 1HD  United Kingdom.

2. Your Status
By placing an order through the Site, you warrant that you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts and you are at least 18 years old.

3. How the Contract is Formed Between You and the Company
After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from the Company acknowledging that it has received your order and setting out the total cost of your order including delivery costs and the ways in which you can pay (the “Confirmation Email”). Once the Company has received payment from you it will send an email confirming receipt of your payment and the date of dispatch (the “Dispatch Confirmation”). At this stage a contract between you and the Company is formed. You should note that colours, sizes etc may vary with what is displayed on the Site and between orders.

4. Consumer Rights
4.1 If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a contract 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 the refund policy (set out in clause 8 below).
4.2 To cancel a contract, you must inform the Company in writing. You must also return the Product(s) to the Company immediately, in the same condition in which you received them, and at your own cost and risk. 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, the Company may have a right of action against you for compensation.

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 10 working days for deliveries to the UK and within 21 working days for international deliveries, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

6. Risk and Title
The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery and ownership of the Products will only pass to you when the Company receives full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges.

7. Price and Payment
7.1 The price of any Products will be as quoted on the Site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error. These prices exclude delivery costs.
7.2 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which the Company has already sent you a Confirmation Email.
7.3 The Site contains a number of Products and it is always possible that, despite the Company’s best efforts, some of the Products listed on the Site may be incorrectly priced. The Company will verify prices in the Confirmation Email and the Company is under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
7.4 Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card. The Company accepts payment through PayPal and their terms and conditions must be complied with.

8. Refund Policy
8.1 When you return a Product to the Company:
(a) because you have cancelled the contract within the seven-day cooling-off period (see clause 4.1 above), the Company will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day you have given notice of your cancellation. In this case, the Company will refund the price of the Product in full, including the cost of sending the item to you. However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to the Company.
(b) for any other reason (for instance, because you have notified the Company in accordance with clause 18 that you do not agree to any change in these terms and conditions, or because you claim that the Product is defective), the Company will examine the returned Product and will notify you by email, within a reasonable period of time, of your refund, which will be refunded to you within 30 days. Products returned to you because of a defect will be refunded in full, including a refund of the delivery charges for sending the item to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the item to the Company.

9.2 The Company’s liability for losses you suffer as a result of the Company breaking this agreement is strictly limited to the purchase price of the Product you purchased.
9.3 This does not exclude or limit in any way our liability for death or personal injury caused by the Company’s negligence, liability under section 2(3) of the Consumer Protection Act 1987, liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or liability for any matter for which it would be illegal for the Company to exclude, or attempt to exclude, the Company’s liability.

15.1 If the Company fails, at any time during the term of a contract, to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations under the contract or any of these terms and conditions, or if the Company fails to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which it is entitled under the contract, this shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve you from compliance with such obligations.
15.2 A waiver by the Company of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default.
15.3 No waiver by the Company of any of these terms and conditions shall be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to you in writing in accordance with clause 12 above.

16. Severability
If any of these terms and conditions or any provisions of a contract are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
