1.1 What these terms cover. These are the terms and conditions on which we supply products to you, whether these are goods, services or digital content.

2.3 How we may contact you. 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.

 

2.4 "Writing" includes emails. When we use the words "writing" or "written" in these terms, this includes emails.

3. Our contract with you

 

3.1 How we will accept your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to accept it, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.

 

3.2 If we cannot accept your order. 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 a credit reference we have obtained for you does not meet our minimum requirements, 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.

 

3.3 Your order number. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.

4. Our products

 

4.1 Products may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the products on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device's display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the products. Your product may vary slightly from those images. Although we have made every effort to be as accurate as possible, because our products are handmade, all sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated on our website have a 5% tolerance.

 

4.2 Product packaging may vary. The packaging of the product may vary from that shown in images on our website.

 

4.3 Making sure your measurements are accurate. If we are making the product to measurements you have given us you are responsible for ensuring that these measurements are correct. You can find information and tips on how to measure on our website or by contacting us.

5. Your rights to make changes

 

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. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the contract (see clause 8- Your rights to end the contract).

6. Our rights to make changes

6.1 Minor changes to the products. We may change the product:

 

(a) to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements (for example, changes in Fire Regulation requirements); and

 

(b) to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat. These changes will not affect your use of the product

7. Providing the products

 

7.1 Delivery costs. The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our website.

7.2 When we will provide the products. During the order process we will let you know when we will provide the products to you. If the products are ongoing services or subscriptions, we will also tell you during the order process when and how you can end the contract. OR

 

(a)   If the products are goods. If the products are goods we will deliver them to you as soon as reasonably possible OR for bespoke work we will contact you to agree a delivery date, which will be within 6 weeks after the day on which we accept your order.

 

7.3 We are not responsible for delays outside our control. 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 over 60 days you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.

 

 7.4 Collection by you. If you have asked to collect the products from our premises, you can collect them from us at any time during our working hours of 9am – 5pm on weekdays (excluding public holidays), subject to agreement and after being indicated ready for collection.

 

7.5 If you are not at home when the product is delivered. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the products cannot be posted through your letterbox, we will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery or collect the products from a local depot.

 

7.6 If you do not re-arrange delivery. If you do not collect the products from us as arranged or 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 storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract and clause 10.2 will apply.

 

7.7 When you become responsible for the goods. A product which is goods will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the product to the address you gave us or you [or a carrier organised by you] collect it from us.

 

7.8 When you own goods. You own a product which is goods once we have received payment in full.

 

7.9 What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the products to you, for example, meters required, correct address/phone number/ shipping details. If so, this will have been stated in the description of the products on our website. We will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and clause 10.2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

 

7.10 Reasons we may suspend the supply of products to you. We may have to suspend the supply of a product to:

 

(a)   deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;

 

(b)   update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;

 

(c)   make changes to the product as requested by you or notified by us to you (see clause 6).

7.11 We may also suspend supply of the products if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the products when you are supposed to (see clause 12.4) and you still do not make payment within 7 days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend supply of the products until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the products. We will not suspend the products where you dispute the unpaid invoice (see clause 12.6). We will not charge you for the products during the period for which they are suspended. As well as suspending the products we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see clause 12.5).

7.12 We may suspend supply of the products and automatically refund any work paid for but not produced if you or your staff members are rude, abusive, racist or harrassing to any members of the Maake staff. This suspension of service is entirely at the discretion of the directors of Fashion Formula Ltd.

If you are responsible for the costs of return and we are collecting the product from you, we will charge you the direct cost to us of collection.The costs of collection will be the same as our charges for standard delivery, see Delivery charges in FAQs ( http://fashion-formula.com/delivery-and-returns ).

 

 9.5 How we will refund you. We will refund you the price you paid for the products including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.

 

 9.6 Deductions from refunds if you are exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind:

 

(a)  We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. See http://fashion-formula.com/delivery-and-returns for information about what handling is acceptable and examples. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.

 

(b)  The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

 

9.7 When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible.  If you are exercising your right to change your mind then:

 

(a)  If the products are goods and we have not offered to collect them, your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the product back to us.

(b)  In all other cases, your refund will be made within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind

11. If there is a problem with the product

 

11.1 How to tell us about problems. If you have any questions or complaints about the product, please contact us. You can telephone our customer service team at 0203 695 5442 or write to us at hello@fashion-formula.com or Unit 14, Sapcote Trading Estate, High Rd, London, NW10 2DH, UK.

11.3 No claims will be accepted should the product be cut or further processed

 

 11.4 Insofar as is permitted by law where Work is defective for any reason, including negligence, the company’s  liability (if any) shall be limited to rectifying such defect, or crediting its value against any invoice raised in respect of the Work.


Where the Company performs its obligations to rectify defective Work under this condition the Company shall not be liable for indirect loss, consequential loss or third party claims occasioned by defective Work and the Buyer shall not be entitled to any further claim in respect of the Work nor shall the Buyer be entitled to repudiate the contract, refuse to pay for the work or cancel further deliveries.

Where the Company offers to replace defective Work the Buyer must accept such an offer unless he can show clear cause for refusing so to do. If the Buyer opts to have the work re-done by any third party without reference to the Company the Buyer automatically revokes his right to any remedy from the Company, including but not exclusively the right to a credit in respect of Work done by the Company.

 

12. Price and payment

 

12.1 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where 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 to you, 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.

 

12.2 When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Paypal, BACS transfer, Pingit. When you must pay depends on what product you are buying:

 

(a) For goods, you must pay for the products before we dispatch them.

 

12.3 We can charge interest if you pay late. If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate of Lloyds Bank from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

 

 12.4 What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know and we will not charge you interest until we have resolved the issue.

 

 

13. Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you

 

13.1 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products [as summarised at clause 11.2

 

13.2 We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the products for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, loss of business opportunity or consequential loss.

 

 

14. How we may use your personal information

 

14.1 How we will use your personal information. We will use the personal information you provide to us:

 

(a)  to supply the products to you;

 

(b)  to process your payment for the products; and

 

(c)  if you agreed to this during the order process, to give you information about similar products that we provide, but you may stop receiving this at any time by contacting us.

 

 

15. Other important terms

 

15.1 Nobody else has any rights under this contract (except someone you pass your guarantee on to). This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, except as explained in clause 15.2 in respect of our guarantee. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these terms.

 

15.2 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

 

 15.3 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

 

15.4 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.
