Terms & Conditions

Contract

We must receive payment for the goods you order before your order can be accepted. Once payment has been received by us we will confirm that your order has been accepted by sending an email to you at the address you provide in your order form. Our acceptance of your order brings into existence a legally binding contract between us.

Price

The prices payable for goods that you order are as set out in our website. You will be required to pay delivery charges, where applicable and it may not be possible for us to deliver to some locations. Our delivery charges are set out in the section 'delivery' below. For overseas delivery charges please email us with the delivery address and the items you wish to order and we will provide a quotation.

Taxes

All purchases within the UK are charged VAT at 17.5%. The prices on our site are VAT inclusive. Overseas orders may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once a shipment reaches its destination country. We have no control over additional customs charges and as such, these charges are to be paid by the purchaser.

Products

We make every effort to ensure colours appear as realistic as possible. However due to the constraints of digital reproduction on different web browsers, we cannot guarantee exact colour depiction. Every care is taken to ensure descriptions and measurements are accurate, however slight variations may occur. Length measurements are approximate and vary according to the size of the item.

Cancellation

You may cancel your contract with us for the goods you order at any time up to the end of the seventh working day from the date you place your order. You do not need to give us any reason for cancelling your contract, nor will you have to pay any penalty. To cancel your contract you must notify us in writing, either to shop@leighharmer.com, quoting your name and order reference, or by post to 253 New Kings Road, Parsons Green, London, SW6 4RB.

We hope you will be happy with any product purchased on our website but if you wish to return an item to us then we aim to make it as quick and convenient as possible. Any stock item may be returned for any reason within seven working days from the date of delivery so long as it remains in a saleable condition. We will refund the price of the item and delivery to the purchaser. Please note that, with the exception of faulty merchandise, we cannot exchange or accept the return of certain items, which have been opened and used.

This does not affect your statutory rights. If you have received the goods after you cancel your contract then you must send the goods back to us at your own cost and risk. If you cancel your contract but we have already processed the goods for delivery you must send the goods back to us as soon as possible without unpacking them. Once you have notified us that you are cancelling your contract, any sum debited to us from your credit card will be re-credited to your account as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days of your order, provided that the goods in question are returned by you and received by us in the condition they were in when delivered to you. If you do not return the goods delivered to you or do not pay the costs of delivery, we shall be entitled to deduct the direct costs of recovering the goods from the amount to be re-credited to you.

We reserve the right to cancel the contract between us if:

We have insufficient stock to deliver the goods you have ordered
We do not deliver to your area
One or more of the goods you ordered was listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical error or an error in the pricing information received by us from our suppliers. If we do cancel your contract we will notify you by e-mail and will re-credit to your account any sum deducted by us from your credit card as soon as possible, but in any event within 30 days of your order. We will not be obliged to offer any additional compensation for disappointment suffered.

Delivery

Stock Item: If an item is in stock we usually send the goods out within 3 days of receiving your order. We use Parcelforce for small items and national couriers for larger items.

To Order Items: Delivery dates acknowledged by Leigh Harmer are non-binding estimates only, based upon the best available information concerning manufacturers lead times and transportation schedules. Therefore orders may be shipped on the estimated date, prior to the estimated date with the buyers' approval or after the estimated date (after notification to the buyer). Estimated delivery dates will be considered as accepted by the buyer unless disagreement is notified to the Company in writing within seven days of order placement. Special delivery conditions requested by the buyer should be given in writing at the time of order placement and will be considered by the Company and if necessary conditions and charges may change accordingly. From delivery or placement into storage all risks for the goods pass to the buyer.

Liability

If the goods we deliver are not what you ordered, are damaged or defective, or the delivery is of an incorrect quantity, we shall have no liability to you unless you notify us of the problem in writing within 7 working days of the delivery of the goods in question.

If you notify a problem to us under this condition, our only obligation will be, at your option:

To make good any shortage or non-delivery
To replace or repair any goods that are damaged or defective
To refund to you the amount paid by you for the goods in question

Save as precluded by law, we will not be liable to you for any indirect or consequential loss, damage or expenses (including loss of profits, business or goodwill) howsoever arising out of any problem you notify to us under this condition. We shall have no liability to pay any money to you by way of compensation, other than to refund to you the amount paid by you for the goods in question.

Please ensure that you keep all the original packaging and carefully repackage the item ready for collection.
