3. Our contract with you
1. How we will accept your order. After you place an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. However, please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted.

Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to confirm that the product has been dispatched, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.

1. 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 we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because you are located outside our delivery areas.
2. 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.
3. We only sell in certain territories. Our website is solely for the promotion, sale and delivery of our products in the territories listed on our Deliveries & Returns webpage: https://charlottemills.com/pages/delivery-returns. Unfortunately, we do not deliver to addresses outside of the listed territories.
4. No re-sale or distribution. The products sold on our website are not for re-sale or distribution. We reserve the right to cancel orders and/or suspend accounts where we believe products are being ordered in breach of this provision.
5. You must be aged 18 or over to purchase products from our website. 
1. Our products 
1. Products and packaging may vary . The images of the products and packaging 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. 
2. 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.
3. You're responsible for making sure your measurements are accurate. If we're supplying the product to measurements you provide, you're responsible for making sure those measurements are correct. 
2. Providing the products
1. Delivery costs are as set out on our Deliveries & Returns webpage: https://charlottemills.com/pages/delivery-returns and are payable in addition to the price for the product.
2. Deliveries outside the UK. Products delivered to destinations outside the UK may be subject to taxes, fees, customs duty, levies or other charges as a result of local legislation or customs formalities. You will be required to pay any such additional charges. 

Please note that your order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when the delivery reaches its destination. We have no control over these charges and we cannot predict their amount. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order.

You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the products are destined. We will not be liable or responsible if you break any such law.

1. When we will provide the products. Your order will be delivered by the estimated delivery date set out in the dispatch confirmation email, unless there is an event outside our control as set out in clause 6.4. Any delivery timescales quoted to you are indicative only. 

In the event that your order has been despatched by us (as confirmed in the despatch confirmation email) but has not arrived within the estimated delivery time range, please contact us. 

1. 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 use reasonable endeavours to 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 you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.
1. Price and payment
1. Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you place your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. We reserve the right, however, to change prices at any time without notice to you (save that any changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have sent you an order acceptance email).
2. We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
3. What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, the price shown on the checkout page is wrong. 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 are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.

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.

1. When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment by any major credit or debit card. Other acceptable methods of payment will be set out on our website during the checkout process. You must pay for the products before we dispatch them. Payment may be debited and cleared from your account before the dispatch of the products you ordered.

You confirm that the account that is being used for payment is yours. All credit/debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to or does not, for any reason, authorise payment to us we will not be liable to you for any delay or non-delivery.

If your credit or debit card payment is not processed successfully for any reason, we reserve the right to reattempt to process payment within 48 hours. In the event that the payment is still unsuccessful, we will give you at least 48 hours’ notice in advance of any further reattempt to process payment by sending an email to the email address you have provided to us. If you do not want us to reattempt to process payment, you must cancel your order in advance.

1. What to do if you think the price is wrong. If you think the price at checkout is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know.
1. Returns and Refunds
1. Your legal right to change your mind. If you’re a consumer (if you purchase products for private use as opposed to business use) resident in the UK, you have a legal right to cancel your order within 14 days from the day on which you acquire physical possession of the product. 

You cannot use this right in connection with the products that are made to your specifications or are clearly personalised.

1. When we will pay the costs of return. We will pay the costs of return:
1. if the products are faulty;
2. if you are ending the contract because we have told you of an upcoming change to the product or these terms, an error in pricing or description, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong; or
3. if we expressly agree to pay the costs of return as may be stated on our Delivery & Returns webpage.

In all other circumstances (including where you are exercising your legal right to change your mind) you must pay the costs of return.

1. Deductions from refunds if you are exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind, we may reduce your refund of the price if the product is damaged and we reasonably believe that the damage has been caused by you. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover a damage which has been caused by you, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
2. When your refund will be made. Returns are processed when they arrive with us. This process can take 7-10 working days. If you are entitled to a refund, once we have processed the refund with our card payment company, it can take 7 working days for the funds to clear back into your account.
