Withdrawal and cancellation

You can withdraw the Order by telling us before the Contract is made, if you simply wish to change your mind and without giving us a reason, and without incurring any liability.
This is a distance contract (as defined below) which has the cancellation rights (Cancellation Rights) set out below. These Cancellation Rights, however, do not apply, to a contract for the following goods and services (with no others) in the following circumstances:

accommodation, transport of goods, vehicle rental services, catering or services related to leisure activities, if the contract provides for a specific date or period of performance;
goods that are made to your specifications or are clearly personalised;
Goods which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly.

Right to cancel

Subject as stated in these Terms and Conditions, you can cancel this contract within 14 days without giving any reason, however any deposit paid is non refundable.
The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party, other than the carrier, indicated by you, acquires physical possession of the last of the Goods. In a contract for the supply of services only (without goods), the cancellation period will expire 14 days from the day the Contract was entered into.
To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel this Contract by a clear statement setting out your decision (eg a letter sent by post, fax or email). In any event, you must be able to show clear evidence of when the cancellation was made, so you may decide to use the model cancellation form.
To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.

Commencement of Services in the cancellation period

We must not begin the supply of a service (being part of the Services) before the end of the cancellation period unless you have made an express request for the service. Payment for Services commenced during the cancellation period
Deduction for Goods supplied
Effects of cancellation in the cancellation period
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any Goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you (ie handling the Goods beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Goods: eg it goes beyond the sort of handling that might be reasonably allowed in a shop). This is because you are liable for that loss and, if that deduction is not made, you must pay us the amount of that loss.

Timing of reimbursement

If we have offered to collect the Goods or if no Goods were supplied or to be supplied (ie it is a contract for the supply of services only), we will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this Contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.

Returning Goods

Upon delivery, the Goods will:
We have a legal duty to supply the Goods in conformity with the Contract, and will not have conformed if it does not meet the following obligation.
For the purposes of these Cancellation Rights, these words have the following meanings:

distance contract means a contract concluded between a trader and a customer under an organised distance sales or service-provision scheme without the simultaneous physical presence of the trader and the customer, with the exclusive use of one or more means of distance communication up to and including the time at which the contract is concluded;
sales contract means a contract under which a trader transfers or agrees to transfer the ownership of goods to a customer and the customer pays or agrees to pay the price, including any contract that has both goods and services as its object.

Conformity

Be reasonably fit for any particular purpose for which you buy the Goods which, before the Contract is made, you made known to us (unless you do not actually rely, or it is unreasonable for you to rely, on our skill and judgment) and be fit for any purpose held out by us or set out in the Contract; and
It is not a failure to conform if the failure has its origin in your materials.
We will supply the Services with reasonable skill and care.
In relation to the Services, anything we say or write to you, or anything someone else says or writes to you on our behalf, about us or about the Services, is a term of the Contract (which we must comply with) if you take it into account when deciding to enter this Contract, or when making any decision about the Services after entering into this Contract. Anything you take into account is subject to anything that qualified it and was said or written to you by us or on behalf of us on the same occasion, and any change to it that has been expressly agreed between us (before entering this Contract or later).

Duration, Termination and Suspension

The Contract continues as long as it takes us to perform the Services.
Either you or we may terminate the Contract or suspend the Services at any time by a written notice of termination or suspension to the other if that other:

commits a serious breach, or series of breaches resulting in a serious breach, of the Contract and the breach either cannot be fixed or is not fixed within 30 days of the written notice; or
is subject to any step towards its bankruptcy or liquidation.

On termination of the Contract for any reason, any of our respective remaining rights and liabilities will not be affected.
If for reason out of your or our control you event can not go ahead we will do our best to moved you booking to a new date. Refunds will not be given.

Colours of Items

All efforts have been made to represent my items accurately in my photographs, however sometimes there may be slight discrepancies with colour due to different monitors showing different saturation and photographs being taken in different lighting and I cannot be held accountable for this. Every care is taken to provide the items as you expect them.

Successors and our sub-contractors

Either party can transfer the benefit of this Contract to someone else, and will remain liable to the other for its obligations under the Contract. The Supplier will be liable for the acts of any sub-contractors who it chooses to help perform its duties.

Circumstances beyond the control of either party

In the event of any failure by a party because of something beyond its reasonable control:
the party will advise the other party as soon as reasonably practicable; and
the party’s obligations will be suspended so far as is reasonable, provided that that party will act reasonably, and the party will not be liable for any failure which it could not reasonably avoid, but this will not affect the Customer’s above rights relating to delivery (and the right to cancel below).

Force Majeure

The performance of the Company’s obligations hereunder is subject to variation or cancellation consequent upon Act of God war strikes riot lockouts or other labour disturbances fire flood restrictions on the use of transport fuel or power or any other cause beyond the control of the Company. In the event of frustration of the Agreement due to any of the above causes the Contract shall be deemed to be complete and upon written notice by the Company to the Hirer to that effect the Company shall refund to the Hirer any monies received in respect of the Hire Contract less 10% which shall be retained by the Company in respect of its costs and expenses.

Excluding liability

The Supplier does not exclude liability for: (i) any fraudulent act or omission; or (ii) death or personal injury caused by negligence or breach of the Supplier’s other legal obligations. Subject to this, we are not liable for (i) loss which was not reasonably foreseeable to both parties at the time when the Contract was made, or (ii) loss (eg loss of profit) to your business, trade, craft or profession which would not be suffered by a Customer – because we believe you are not buying the Services and Goods wholly or mainly for your business, trade, craft or profession.
