Introduction
You will be able to access most areas of this Website without registering your details with us.

We may revise these terms and conditions at any time by updating this posting. You should check this Website from time to time to review the then current terms and conditions, because they are binding on you. Certain provisions of these terms and conditions may be superseded by expressly designated legal notices or terms located on particular pages of this Website. If you do not wish to accept any new terms and conditions after we have given notice, you should not continue to use this Website.

Placing an order
We accept online payment in a secure environment using PayPal. PayPal automatically encrypts your confidential information in transit from your computer to theirs using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits (the highest level commercially available). Before you even register or log in to the PayPal site, their server checks that you're using an approved browser - one that uses SSL 3.0 or higher.

We will send you an order acknowledgement, detailing the products you have ordered. Our acceptance of an order takes place when we despatch the order. We will send you a despatch confirmation by email. When we despatch the order the purchase contract will be made even if your payment has been processed immediately, unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or you have cancelled your order.

We may refuse to accept an order:

  • where goods are not available;
  • where we cannot obtain authorisation for your payment;
  • if there has been a pricing or product description error; or
  • if you do not meet any eligibility criteria set out in our terms and conditions.

Title of the goods does not pass to the Customer until payment is received in full.

Pricing
All prices quoted on this website are accurate at the time of publication and are quoted in pounds sterling and will not have additional UK sales tax (VAT) added. Any customs or import duties levied once the package reaches your destination country will be your responsibility as we have no control over these charges and cannot predict them.

We may charge separately for packing, carriage and insurance and other relevant charges. The appropriate rates are set out in our specified pricing structure shown elsewhere on this Website.

Our prices are subject to change without notice.

Carriage
The cost of delivering the products you buy will be calculated on-line and you will be notified before you complete the purchase.

Distance Selling Regulations
Under the Distance Selling Regulations you are entitled to cancel your order and obtain a refund. You may do this by notifying us in writing at anytime after making the order and up to 14 working days beginning with the day on which you received the goods.

Once delivered, the item has to be returned complete, in perfect condition, unworn, and with the original packaging. Once we have received the returned item undamaged, payments made by you will be refunded in full within 30 days.

To cancel your order you may email us at: info@harperandharper.co.uk

36 Priory Road
Shirehampton
Bristol
BS11 9TD
England

You must take reasonable care of the products which are subject to cancellation and not use or wear them. You may send them back to us or we can arrange for them to be collected. We will make a charge for the cost of collecting the order. The right to cancel under the Distance Selling Regulations does not apply to goods which are made to your specification, or are personalised, or by reason of their nature cannot be returned or are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly.

Cancellation and Returns Policy
If you wish to cancel your order:

  • you can notify us by email to info@harperandharper.co.uk before we have dispatched the goods to you; or
  • where goods have already been dispatched to you, by returning goods to us in accordance with the clause below.

You can return goods you have ordered from us for any reason at any time within 14 days of receipt for a full refund or exchange. The costs of returning goods to us shall be borne by you.
Upon receipt of the goods, provided that the items are returned complete, in perfect condition, unused and with the original packaging we will give you a full refund of the amount paid or an exchange credit as required.
The rights to return the goods to us as referred above will not apply in the following circumstances - in the event that the product has been used or worn. The provisions of this clause do not affect your statutory rights.

We reserve the right to cancel items ordered or an entire order for any reason whatsoever and will refund the full price paid for each cancelled item. In such circumstances we will make every effort to contact you without delay to explain why a cancellation was necessary.

Trade or large volume orders may also be excluded from cancellation but the purchaser will be made aware of this prior to the order being accepted.

Returns Process
For all returns, except where the item is faulty, you will be required to arrange and pay for the return of the products to us. To return any products to us, please send to:

36 Priory Road
Shirehampton
Bristol
BS11 9TD
England

The parcel and its contents are your responsibility until they reach us. We will not be responsible for broken or damaged returned jewellery. When returning items you are strongly recommended to send them registered post and retain proof of postage. We advise you to ensure the goods are adequately packaged and insured during their return journey as we cannot accept responsibility for parcels lost in transit. We will only refund or provide an exchange for the costs of postage where the item returned is faulty. If the goods are found not to be defective they will be returned to you and you will then be charged for any administration and return carriage costs.

The cost of returning goods is at your expense. Failure to comply with this may result in full liability for the order value and any additional expenses incurred. Your statutory rights are not affected. We shall refund the total amount of money paid by you for the goods, less any costs to collect the goods if required, within 30 days starting with the day on which we receive notice of cancellation in writing from you and subject to the goods being correctly returned as detailed above.

Delivery
We will process your order as quickly as possible however our products are hand made and the quoted delivery times are approximate as delays associated with availability and delivery of the raw materials may be outside our control. Each product may be dispatched individually to prevent delays to the entire order by waiting for remaining products. In the unlikely event that the entire order cannot be fulfilled - any outstanding products will be refunded in full. We will not be responsible for any other losses due to not supplying the goods.

From the moment a carrier attempts to deliver the goods they are the customer's responsibility and the customer has to accept the goods when they are ready to be delivered.

Where the Customer does not comply with our attempts to deliver the goods we may, at our discretion, cancel the entire or part of the order and charge the Customer for storage, shipping and insurance of the goods and make a charge for any shortfall in subsequent sale price.

Damaged Products
We ensure all our products are appropriately packaged. If the products are damaged during carriage then we will replace them or offer you a refund. If the packaging looks damaged make a note on the delivery note and state ‘package damaged – goods not seen’ before signing. We will not charge you for the return of the damaged product as long as you use a reputable carrier (confirm the carrier with us before you return the product).

Guarantee
We take every care to ensure that the description and specification of our products are correct. However, while the colour reproduction of the products is a close representation, we cannot accept any responsibility for any variation in colour caused by the browser software or computer system used by you. We endeavour to display through this website all items in our current range. The jewellery is hand made and hand finished so a slight variation in colour, size and shape may occur which makes each item individual. All products have been fairly described and the colours and dimensions given are approximate only.

Harper & Harper do not accept liability in respect of any defects from accidental damage, handling and wear of our products.

Our products are guaranteed for 12 months against any defects in design and material from date of purchase with the exception of defects caused through the above clause.

All dates quoted for delivery are estimated delivery dates only and may be subject to change and we can accept no liability for any loss or damage (whether direct or indirect) for delivery at any time other than the estimated date for delivery.

Security
When you order, we collect personal information such as your name, e-mail address, delivery address, telephone number. Your credit or debit card number and the card's expiry date is not collected or known by us, as we use PayPal to collect fees on behalf of us, we will not at any time ask for these details. This allows us to process and fulfil your order and to notify you about the status of your order.

Information on our customers remains confidential to Harper & Harper. We are committed to protecting your privacy.
