SECURITY STATEMENT
We take security very seriously, which is why we have chosen to use online credit and debit card processing facilities provided by secure gateway payment service providers. It is now known that Internet transactions through systems such as PayPal are inherently more secure than other methods of making purchases in “card holder not present” situations such as telesales, or when giving a card to a waiter in a restaurant. Your online purchase from us will take place in real time, and we will never see your credit card details. You can have confidence that our online purchasing facilities are secure and safe to use.
2. DELIVERY OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN UNION
VAT / Sales Tax
If delivery is to a country outside the European Union the VAT / Sales Tax will NOT be charged on the final page of the checkout. Prices will be shown without VAT, as our website detects the country you are shopping from. However, you may be charged import customs duties in your own country.
Customs Duties
If delivery is outside the European Union, we supply customs forms and the receiver of the goods is liable for import duties, if any; not all countries will charge this. It is payable to the courier company or customs office in the receiver’s country. We have no way of knowing what the duty amount will be. You need to check with our country’s customs authority.
You need to pay the customs duties, if any, before you can receive your package. If you DO NOT pay the duties, the package may be returned to us and we will have to charge you for shipping once again, plus a repackaging fee.
Cancellations, Order Changes and Refunds – Outside the European Union
IMPORTANT: If delivery is to a country outside the EU you cannot have a refund if you change your mind AFTER we have shipped your items.
Therefore, do not purchase from us if in any doubt about usage, sizes, colours, suitability – call us to discuss first. Even after being advised by us, AFTER we have shipped you are NOT entitled to cancel or claim a refund should you change your mind.
