    2.5 Legal promises.  Where we refer to a ‘legal promise’ or a similar term, this means a warranty.

    3. Our contract with you

    3.1 Contracts with consumers and educational organisations.  To place an order with us, you must be:

     (a) a consumer.  In other words, an individual acting for purposes that are wholly/mainly outside of your trade, business, craft or profession; or

     (b) a children’s nursery or playgroup or a school or another academic institution (an Educational Organisation).

    By placing an order, you make a legal promise that:

    (d) other than where you are an Educational Organisation, you are not placing an order for purposes relating to your trade, business, craft or profession;

    (e) you will not use the product(s) for commercial purposes or in commercial activities (other than, in the case of an Educational Organisation, for entertaining and educating children in your care).

    3.4 If we cannot accept your order.  If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the product(s).  This might be because:

                                      (a) physical goods are out of stock;

                                      (b) of unexpected limits on our resources for which we could not reasonably plan; or

                                       (c) we have identified an error in the price or description of the product(s).

    3.5 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.

    3.6 These terms are for sales worldwide, excluding the USA.  All sales to customers located in the USA are on different terms, located [here].  By confirming your agreement to these terms, you legally promise that, where you are:

                                     (a) a consumer, you are not habitually resident in the USA;

                                     (b) an Educational Organisation, you are not established in the USA.

    4. Our products

    4.1 Products may vary slightly from their pictures.  The images of the products 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(s) may vary slightly from those images.

    4.2 Product packaging may vary.  The packaging of physical goods may vary from that shown in images on our website.

    5. Your rights to make changes

    If you wish to make a change to your order, please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible.  If it is possible, we will let you know about:

                             (a) any changes to the price of the product(s);

                             (b) the timing of supply; and/or

                             (c) anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change, 

    and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. 

    If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the contract.  (See 8.)

    6. Our rights to make changes to digital content

    We may update digital content, provided that the digital content shall always match the description of it that we provided to you before you bought it. 

    7. Providing the products

    7.1 Delivery costs.  The costs of delivery of any physical goods will be as displayed to you on our website during the order process.

    7.2 Import duties and taxes.  The cost of our products includes UK sales taxes.  If you order physical goods for delivery outside of the UK, you agree that it is your sole responsibility to pay any import duties and taxes (and any other costs associated with customs and/or customs clearance) of the jurisdiction to which the goods are to be delivered.

    7.3 When we will provide the product(s).  If the product(s) are:

                                      (a) physical goods, we will deliver them to you as soon as reasonably possible and (in any event) within 30 days after the day on which we accept your order;

                                       (b) digital content, we will make that digital content available for download by you as soon as we accept your order.

    7.4 We are not responsible for delays outside our control.  If our supply of physical goods is delayed by an event outside our control, we will:

        1. contact you as soon as possible to let you know; and
        2. take steps to minimise the effect of the delay.  

    Provided that 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 goods you have paid for but not received.

    7.5 If you are not at home when physical good(s) are delivered.  If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the good(s) cannot be posted through your letterbox, we will leave you a note informing you of how to:

                                      (a) rearrange delivery; and/or

                                      (b) collect the good(s) from a local depot.

    7.6 If you do not re-arrange delivery.  If, after a failed delivery to you, you do not:

                            (a) re-arrange delivery; or

                            (b) collect the good(s) from a delivery depot,

    we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection, we may end the contract and 10.2 will apply.

    7.7 When you become responsible for physical good(s).  Physical good(s) will be your responsibility from the time:

                           (a) we deliver those good(s) to the address you gave us; or

                           (b) you collect those good(s) from a delivery depot.

     

    7.8 When you own physical goods.  You own physical good(s) once we have received payment for them in full.

    7.9 Your licence to digital content.  Once you have paid for digital content and downloaded it, you have a limited licence to that digital content.  That licence:

     (a) where you are a consumer:

                                      (i) allows you and the members of your household to use it solely for your own personal and non-commercial entertainment and education;

                                      (ii) does not allow you to:

                                          (A) copy or use it for any commercial purpose;

                                          (B) (and you legally promise that you will not) distribute it or share it outside of your household or otherwise let anyone else outside of your household copy or use it;

     (b) where you are an Educational Establishment:

                                     (i) allows you to use it solely for the purpose of entertaining and educating the children in your care;

                                     (ii) does not allow you to:

                                     (A) copy or use it for any other commercial purpose;

                                     (B) (and you represent and warrant that you will not) distribute it or share it outside of your establishment or otherwise let anyone else outside of your establishment copy or use it.

    If you fail to comply with this licence, we can revoke it immediately and will not be obliged to give you a refund.

    8. Your rights to end the contract

    8.1 You can always end your contract with us.  Your rights when you end the contract will depend on:

     (a) what you have bought;

     (b) whether there is anything wrong with it;

     (c) how we are performing; and

     (d) when you decide to end the contract.

    If what you have bought is faulty or mis-described you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or to get some or all of your money back) – see 11.

    If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do – see 8.2.

    If you have just changed your mind about a product – see 8.3.  You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period but this may be subject to deductions and (if applicable) you will have to pay the costs of return of any goods.

    In all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind) – see 8.6.

    8.2 Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (c) below, the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation.  The reasons are:

                                      (a) we have told you about an error in the price of the product(s) you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;

                                      (b) there is a risk that supply of physical goods may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;

                                       (c) you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong. 

    8.3 Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). For most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund.  These rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 are explained in more detail in these terms. 

    8. 4 When you don’t have the right to change your mind.  You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of digital products after you have started to download them.  By downloading digital content, you acknowledge that you will lose your right to change your mind.

    8.5 How long do I have to change my mind?  How long you have depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered.

     (a) Have you bought digital content for download?  If so, you have:

            (i) 14 days after the day we email you to confirm we accept your order; or

            (ii) if earlier, until you download the content.  

     (b) Have you bought physical good(s) (e.g. physical books)?  If so you have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods, unless your goods are split into several deliveries over different days – in which case, you have until 14 days to change your mind about the goods after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery.

     

    8.6 Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind.  Even if we are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind, you can still end the contract before it is completed but – if you do – you may have to pay us compensation.  A contract for:

         (a) physical good(s) is completed when the good(s) are paid for and delivered;

         (b) digital content is completed when the content is paid for and downloaded. 

    If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you have not changed your mind, just contact us to let us know.  The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.

    9. How to end the contract with us (including if you have changed your mind)

    9.1 Tell us you want to end the contract. To end the contract with us, please let us know by doing one of the following:  

     (a) by email.  Email us at info@mrswordsmith.com. Please provide your name, home address, details of the order, phone number and email address. 

     (b) by post.  Simply write to us at that address, including details of:

                (i) what you bought;

                (ii) when you ordered or received it; and

                (iii) your name and address. 

    9.2 Returning physical goods after ending the contract.  If you end the contract for any reason after goods have been dispatched to you or you have received them, you must return them to us.  You must post them back to us at Unit 201, The Shepherds Building, Charecroft Way, London, W14 0EE.  Please email us at  info@mrswordsmith.com for a return label.

    If you are exercising your right to change your mind you must send off the goods within 14 days of telling us you wish to end the contract. 

    9.3 When we will pay the costs of return of physical goods.  We will pay the costs of return:

     (a) if the goods are faulty or mis-described;

     (b) if you are ending the contract because:

        (i) we have told you of an error in pricing;

        (ii) of a delay in delivery due to events outside our control; or

        (iii) you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong.

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

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

    9.5 Deductions from refunds for physical goods if you are exercising your right to change your mind.  If you are exercising your right to change your mind in respect of an order for physical goods: 

      (a) we may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the 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 are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount;

      (b) the maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a product within 3–5 days at one cost but you choose to have the goods delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

    9.6 When your refund will be made.  We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible.  If you are exercising your right to change your mind then: 

     (a) if the products are physical goods, your refund will be made:

        (i) within 14 days from the day on which we receive the goods back from you; or

        (ii) if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the goods back to us;

    (For information about how to return a product to us, see clause 9.2.)

       (b) in all other cases, your refund will be made within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind.

    10. Our rights to end the contract

    10.1 We may end the contract if you break it.  We may end the contract at any time by writing to you if you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver physical goods to you or collect them from a local depot.

    10.2 You must compensate us if you break the contract. If we end the contract as set out in 10.1, we will refund any money you have paid in advance for physical goods that we have not provided but we may deduct or charge reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the contract

    11. If there is a problem with the product

    11.1 How to tell us about problems.  If you have any questions or complaints about the product(s), please contact us.  You can write to us at:

      (a) info@mrswordsmith.com; or  info@mrswordsmith.com

      (b) Unit 201, The Shepherds Building, Charecroft Way, London, W14 0EE.

    11.2 Products that conform with the contract.  We are under a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with this contract. 

    11.3 Your obligation to return rejected physical goods.  If you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject goods, you must post them back to us.  We will pay the costs of postage or collection.  Please email us at  info@mrswordsmith.com for a return label.

    12. Price and payment

    12.1 Where to find the price for the product(s). The price of the product(s) (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order.  We use our best efforts to ensure that the price of the product(s) advised to you is correct.  However, please see 12.2 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product(s) you order. 

    12.2 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced.  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 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:

     (a) end the contract;

     (b) refund you any sums you have paid; and

     (c) require the return of any physical goods provided to you.

    12.3 When you must pay and how you must pay.  We accept payment with American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Mastercard, PayPal, Visa.  You must pay when you check out on our site but payment will not create a contract between us.  (See clause 3.3.)

    12.4 We can charge interest if you pay late.  If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 2% a year above the base lending rate of Silicon Valley Bank from time to time.  This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment.  You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount. 

    12.5 What to do if you think an invoice is wrong.  If you think an invoice is wrong, please contact us promptly to let us know.  You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved.  Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.

    13. Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you

    13.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us.  If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our:

     (a) breaking this contract; or

     (b) failing to use reasonable care and skill, 

    but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable.  Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen (for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process).

    13.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so.  This includes liability for:

     (a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors;

     (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;

     (c) breach of any legal rights in relation to the products, including (where applicable) the right to receive products which are:

       (i) as described;

       (ii) match information we provided to you and any sample seen by you;

       (iii) of satisfactory quality;

       (iv) supplied with reasonable skill and care;

       (v) defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987

    13. 3 If defective digital content that we have supplied damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill, we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation.

    13.4 We are not liable for business losses.  Whether you are a consumer or an Educational Establishment, we will have no liability to you for any:

          1. loss of profit;
          2. loss of business;
          3. business interruption; or
          4. loss of business opportunity.

    14. How we may use your personal information

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

    15. Other terms and conditions

    You may have agreed to other terms (e.g. our [website terms and conditions of use] and policies in the course of using our website at <mrswordsmith.com> and there may be other information on our website.  Nothing in these terms overrules those other terms, policies or that information.  However, if there is a conflict between those terms, policies and/or that information, these terms shall take precedence.

    16. Other important terms

    16.1 We may transfer this agreement to someone else We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation.  We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.

    16.2 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone.  You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.  We may not agree if this would be detrimental to us.

    16.3 Nobody else has any rights under this contract.  This contract is between you and us.  No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.  Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these terms.

    16.4 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force Each of the clauses of these terms operates separately.  If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect.

    16.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later.  If we:

     (a) do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms; or

     (b) delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, 

    that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.  For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

    16.6 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 in respect of the products in the English courts.  If you live outside of England and Wales, you can also bring proceedings in the courts of the jurisdiction where you are habitually resident.
