9.3 When will we pay the costs of return? We will only pay the cost of returns for faulty goods at the rate of the cheapest postage by the Royal Mail, i.e. 2nd class postage, and you should collect a postage confirmation receipt. You will be responsible for paying the postage for all other reasons for returning goods.

9.4 How we will refund you. We will refund you the price you paid for the products, including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.

9.5 Deductions from refunds if you exercise your right to change your mind in accordance with these terms and conditions. If you are exercising your right to change your mind: 

  • 9.5.1 We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the non-customised goods if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we inspect the non-customised goods and later discover you have unacceptably handled them, you must pay us an appropriate amount. 
  • 9.5.2 The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the delivery costs by the least expensive delivery method. For example, if we offer delivery of a product within 3-5 days at one price, but you choose to have the product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost. We will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

9.6 When will your refund be made? If you are exercising your right to change your mind, then: 

  • 9.6.1 If the products are non-customised goods, your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the product back from you. For information about how to return a product to us, see paragraph 9.2.

10. Our rights to end the contract

10.1 We may end the contract if you break it. We may end the contract for a product at any time by writing to you if:

  • 10.1.1 you do not make any payment to us when it is due, and you still do not make payment within seven days of us reminding you that payment is due;
  • 10.1.2 you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the products, for example, but not limited to, delivery particulars, information about any photos, images and/or designs that you provide and/or product measurements;
  • 10.1.3 you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the products to you; 
  • 10.1.4 you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us access to your premises to supply the services; or
  • 10.1.5 any photos, images and/or designs provided by you to print on the goods are likely to infringe on any third party’s intellectual property rights.

10.2 You must compensate us if you break the contract. Suppose we end the contract in the situations set out in paragraph and you have made a payment in advance, and we have not provided your products. In that case, we will refund your advanced money less a deduction or charge for reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur due to your breaking the contract.

11. If there is a problem with the product

If you have any questions or complaints about the product, please get in touch with us in writing by email at support@lifestyleeco.co.uk.

12. Price and payment

12.1 Where to find the price for the product. The product’s price (including VAT) will be indicated when you place your order and pay on our website. Or by invoice sent by email for non-online orders. All prices are payable in Pound Sterling. We take reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However, please see paragraph 12.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the product price you order. 

12.2 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 VAT rate change takes effect.

12.3 What happens if we get the price wrong? It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will usually check prices before accepting your order so that if 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. Suppose we receive and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have been recognised by you as a mispricing. In that case, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.

12.4 When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with Visa, Mastercard, and American Express credit and debit cards through our online card provider Square. When you must pay depends on what product you are buying:

  • 12.4.1 For goods, you must pay for the products before we dispatch them.

12.5 We can charge interest if you pay late. If you do not pay us by the due date, we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate of Barclays Bank PLC from time to time. This interest shall accrue daily from the due date until the actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any unpaid amount. 

12.6 What to do if you think an invoice needs to be corrected. If you believe an invoice is wrong, please get in touch with us promptly to let us know. You will only have to pay interest if you dispute any correction. Once the dispute is resolved, we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.

13 We are not responsible for loss or damage caused by:

  1. Events beyond our reasonable control, for example, but not limited to, interruption or failure of utility service, epidemics, pandemics, any law or any action taken by a government or public authority, including without limitation imposing an export or import restriction, quota or prohibition.
  2. Unforeseeable events that could not have been reasonably foreseen when you placed and paid for your order.

14 We are not liable for business losses. 

We only supply the products for domestic and private use. Suppose you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purposes, we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, business interruption, or business opportunity.

15 How we may use your personal information

We will only use your personal information as set out in our privacy policy.

16 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue.  

17  Changes to these terms.

We reserve the right to change our website, policies, and terms and conditions, including these terms and conditions, at any time. You will be subject to the terms and conditions in force when you order products from us unless a law or government authority requires any change to those terms and conditions (in which case it may apply to orders previously placed by you).

18  Which laws apply to this contract, and where you may bring legal proceedings?

These terms are governed by English law, and you can bring legal proceedings regarding the products to the English courts. Please also note that we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any country or region if you have violated or threatened to violate our intellectual property rights and/or the intellectual property rights of a third party.
