You will not be categorised as a consumer. If you are purchasing as a business, trade or profession and if that does apply to you then please contact us at info@copperfieldshop.co.uk for our business to business terms and conditions.

 2         Information we give you

2.1       By law, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 say that we must give you certain key information before a legally binding contract between you and us is made. If you want to see this key information, please:

2.1.1    visit https www.copperfield.co.uk ;

2.1.2    read the Order Confirmation (see section 4.4);

2.1.3    contact us by email at info@copperfieldshop.co.uk  or by writing to us at Copperfield, 3-5 Chequer Street, St Albans, Hertfordshire, AL1 3YJ. 2.2

2.1.4   If we have to change any key information once a legally binding contract between you and us is made, we will write to you and let you know.

3          Your privacy and personal information

3.1       Your personal information will be treated in accordance with our Privacy Policy (https://www.copperfieldshop.co.uk/pages/privacy-and-cookies) and our Cookie Policy (https://www.copperfieldshop.co.uk/pages/privacy-and-cookies).

  1. Ordering and availability

4.1       Below, we set out when a legally binding contract arises between you and us.

4.2       To order any Product, you must be at least 18 years of age (or any older age legally required under local law to bind yourself legally to these terms). By placing an Order for a Product, you confirm to us that you meet this requirement. 

4.3       Products may be ordered by clicking on the items you wish to purchase and then following the prompts that will appear on-screen. When you click on “Make Payment Securely” your Order is placed, but a legally binding contract is not formed at this stage (see Clause 4.4 below for when a contract is formed). You may check and correct any input errors in your Order up until the point at which you submit your Order.

4.4       Once we receive your order, a confirmation email will be sent to you. This acknowledgement does not, however, mean that your order has been accepted by us. Your Order constitutes an offer to us to buy the Product(s) ordered only. We are not obliged to accept your Order and may, at our discretion, decline to accept any order in accordance with clause 4.5 below. Where we accept your Order, we will confirm such acceptance by sending you a confirmation that your Order has been despatched (Order Confirmation). At this point a contract between you and us in relation to the Products ordered will be formed and we shall be under a legal duty to supply you with goods that are in conformity with the contract. Such contract will relate only to the Products which have been confirmed in the Order Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your Order until such Products have been confirmed by an Order Confirmation.

4.5       We may contact you to say that we do not accept your order. This is typically for the following reasons:

4.5.1    the Product(s) is/ are unavailable;

4.5.2    we cannot authorise your payment;

4.5.3    you are not allowed to buy the Product(s) from us;

4.5.4    we are not allowed to sell the Product(s) to you;

4.5.5    you have ordered too many Product(s); or

4.5.6    there has been a mistake on the pricing or description of the Product(s).

4.6       If we do not accept your Order for one of the reasons set out at Clause 4.5, but payment has already been submitted by you and received by us, we will refund the payment in full as soon as possible.

  1. Delivery

5.1       Your Order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Order Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 30 days after the date of the Order Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances. If something happens which is outside of our control and affects the estimated date of delivery, we will provide you with a revised estimated date for delivery.

5.2       Your Order will be delivered to the delivery address within the United Kingdom you specify when placing your order.

5.3       If your delivery address is geographically remote, for example certain outlying islands or other isolated locations, it is possible that we may not be able to deliver there. If that is the case, we will notify you before we accept your order. Orders cannot be delivered to PO Box or similar addresses.

5.4       Deliveries requested to non-residential addresses, or houses with multiple occupants, are made at your own risk and we will not accept responsibility for any loss or damage.

5.5       Products comprised within the same Order cannot be delivered to different addresses.

5.6       Deliveries are made by DPD and Royal Mail (within the United Kingdom) and take place on Monday to Saturday excluding bank and public holidays, usually within the hours of 8am and 5pm. It is not possible to specify a precise time at which a delivery will take place. Please note that the courier may require deliveries to be signed for.

5.7       Deliveries will be made to your door. Our courier will not be responsible for any additional carrying, unpacking or positioning of Product(s).

5.8       Orders can be fully tracked and we will send you a tracking link for your Order and an option of changing the delivery date. A signature may be required for your delivery, and if you are not going to be in to sign you should make alternative arrangements via the tracking link. We are unable to redirect orders once they have been despatched. However, we will try to contact you in this case to arrange for a new order to be placed.

5.9       Unless you and we agree otherwise, if we cannot deliver your Product(s) within 30 days of the date of your confirmation email, we will:

5.9.1    let you know;

5.9.2    cancel your order; and

5.9.3    give you a refund.

5.10     If nobody is available to take delivery you must contact the delivery service provider who may provide you with the option of a reschedule, redelivery or to leave the items with a neighbour or at a safe place, amongst other available options. You shall not be entitled to any refunds which arise as a result of your refusal to accept delivery for your Order.

5.11     If delivery proves impossible or impractical for any other reason, we may need to cancel your order and deduct the original delivery charges from the refund.

5.12     Please see our Shipping Returns and Exchanges (https://www.copperfieldshop.co.uk/pages/shipping-returns-exchanges) for further information including delivery costs.  

  1. Risk and ownership

6.1       The Product(s) ordered will be at your risk from the time of delivery. Ownership of the Product(s) ordered will also pass to you on delivery, provided full payment of all sums due in respect of the Product(s), including any delivery charges, has been received. 

  1. Price and payment

7.1       The price of Products is as quoted on the website from time to time. 

7.2       Prices are in pounds sterling and include VAT at the applicable rate but exclude delivery costs, which will be added (at the cost shown) to the total amount due when you view the items in your shopping basket and you have selected your chosen delivery method.

 

7.3       Prices and delivery costs are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you an Order Confirmation. 

7.4       The website contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on the website may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our despatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge you the lower amount. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on the website, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before despatching the Product, or reject your Order and notify you of such rejection. 

7.5       Payment for all Orders must be made by credit or debit card on the checkout page on our website, which is operated by Shopify. We accept payment by Visa (including Visa Debit and Electron), MasterCard, MasterCard Debit, American Express, Diners/Discover and JCB. 

7.6       We charge your credit or debit card at the time the Order is made by clicking the button “Make Payment Securely”. 

7.7       You should be aware that online payment transactions are subject to validation checks by your card issuer and we are not responsible if your card issuer declines to authorise payment for any reason. Please note, it is possible that your card issuer may charge you an online handling fee or processing fee. We are not responsible for this.

7.8      We will do all that we reasonably can to ensure that all of the information you give us when paying for the Product(s) is secure by using an encrypted secure payment mechanism. However, in the absence of negligence on our part, any failure by us to comply with this contract or our Privacy Policy or Cookie Policy (https://www.copperfieldshop.co.uk/pages/privacy-and-cookies) or breach by us of our duties under applicable laws, we will not be legally responsible to you for any loss that you may suffer if a third party gains unauthorised access to any information that you give us. To avoid a third party gaining unauthorised access to any information that you provide to us, we recommend that you install appropriate anti-virus software on your computer.

7.9       In circumstances where you do not pay for the Product(s) but Products are delivered to you, and you fail to return them, we may collect the Product(s) from you at your expense. We will try to contact you to let you know if we intend to do this.

7.10     From time to time we may run promotions where we issue discount codes. These can be used in part-payment of the price of Product(s) ordered online, subject to the terms under which they were issued (as indicated in our relevant promotion from which you got the code). Discount codes can only be used once, and only during the period of validity stated and only in respect of the relevant Product(s) stated. Discount codes cannot be redeemed for cash.

7.11     Nothing in this Clause 7 affects your legal rights to cancel the contract during the cooling off period as set out in Clause 8.

 

  1. Consumer cancellation rights

8.1       Except in relation to certain Products set out below, you may have the right pursuant to the Consumer Contracts (Information and Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 to cancel a contract between you and us, and to return the Product(s).

8.2       Your legal right to cancel must be exercised within the ‘cooling off’ period. This period begins once your Order is complete and we have sent you an Order Confirmation and thus a contract has been formed between us.

8.3       You may cancel the contract at any time before your Order is despatched. With regard to the cooling off period:

8.3.1 if the Product(s) are being delivered to you in a single instalment (whether single or multiple items), the cooling off period ends 14 calendar days after the day on which you receive the Product(s);

8.3.2 If the Product(s) are being delivered in separate instalments on separate days, the cooling off period ends 14 calendar days after the day on which you receive the final instalment of Product(s);

8.3.3 If your order is for the regular delivery of Product(s) over a defined period, the cooling off period ends 14 calendar days after the day on which you receive the first delivery of Product(s);

8.3.5 where you have opted (where available) to collect your Order from one of the collection points offered by our courier and that collection point is managed by a third party other than the courier (for example, a local convenience store), the day after it is delivered to that third party.

8.4       If you cancel, you will receive a refund of the price paid for the Product(s) in accordance with our refunds policy (see below).

8.5       To cancel a Contract, you must clearly inform us preferably in writing by emailing us at info@copperfieldshop.co.uk or by post to Copperfield, 3-5 Chequer Street, St Albans, Hertfordshire, AL1 3YJ,  or by telephone on 01727 835175 and giving us your name, address and Order reference; or by completing and submitting our cancellation form enclosed with the Product(s) on delivery.

8.6       To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communications notifying us of your exercise of the right to cancel before the cooling off period has expired.

8.7       You must also return the Product(s) to us within 14 days after the day of notifying us of the cancellation, in the same condition in which you receive it/them (which does not interfere with your right to take any reasonable steps to examine the Product(s) and make sure they conform to your order). You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Product(s) while in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right to deduct the cost of any deterioration (due, for example, to your having used the Product(s)), up to the price of the Product(s), from the refund to which you are otherwise entitled (see further clause 9 below).

8.7      Please note you do not have the right to cancel and return in respect of the following Product(s) and will not be entitled to a refund unless such Product(s) are faulty:

8.7.1    Product(s) made to your specifications or which are clearly personalised; or

8.7.2    Product(s) which become inseparably mixed with other items in accordance with your personal requirements.

8.8       To return the Product(s), you should package the parcel securely (making sure you include a note of your name and address (enclosing any returns slip, if we have provided one) inside the parcel) and then return it to us, either by courier or by recorded delivery mail or other form of certified mail or, if the Product(s) are too bulky to return by mail, then by a suitable carrier, to the following address:

                Copperfield

3-5 Chequer Street

St Albans

Hertfordshire

AL1 3YJ

 

8.9       We advise you to take out enough postal/carriage insurance to cover the value of the contents. Please save your proof of posting/despatch and tracking information until your refund has been processed. You will be responsible for the cost and risk of returning the Product(s) to us. 

8.10    Details of the consumer rights described above, and an explanation of how to exercise them, shall be provided in the Order Confirmation.

8.11     Nothing in this section affects your legal rights.

  1. Our refunds policy

9.1       If you cancel a Contract between us within the 14-day cooling-off period (see above), we will process any refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 14 days after the day on which we receive the Product(s) back or, if earlier, the day on which we receive evidence that you have returned the Product(s) to our returns address (see above). Subject to clause 9.2, we will refund the price paid in full excluding the cost of standard delivery (delivery costs are not refundable) provided the Product has not been used and is not damaged
