Terms and Conditions of Sale

This page (together with the documents referred to in it) are the terms and conditions on which we supply any of the products (“Products”) listed on our website www.littlesisterlondon.com (“our site”) to you. Please read these terms and conditions carefully before ordering any Products from our site. By ordering any of our Products, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. You may wish to print a copy of these terms and conditions for future reference.

1. INFORMATION ABOUT US
www.littlesisterlondon.com is owned and operated by Lucy Clemson (“we”, “us”, “our”); we can be contacted on hello@littlesisterlondon.com.

2. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US AND YOUR STATUS
2.1 After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Product has been dispatched (the “Dispatch Confirmation”). The contract (the “Contract”) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.
2.2 The Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such other Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.
2.3 By placing an order through our site, you warrant that:
(a) you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts;
(b) you are a ‘consumer’ (being an individual purchasing the Products outside the course of his or her business or trade); and
(c) you are at least 18 years old.

3. DELIVERY
3.1 You can track the progress of your order at any time by accessing your “My Account” page on our website.
3.2 Our delivery policy provides you with all the information you require in respect of the delivery of the Products to you. Our delivery policy can be found here. You should read the delivery policy prior to placing your order for the Products. If you have any other queries, you can contact our customer services team on hello@littlesisterlondon.com.

4. RISK AND TITLE
4.1 The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery.
4.2 Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges.

5. PRICE AND PAYMENT
5.1 The price of our Products will be as quoted on our site, and will be subject to change at our discretion with no prior notice.
5.2 In rare cases, the price quoted for a Product(s) displayed on our site may not be correct. We will aim to rectify any such error(s) as quickly as possible and unless such error has not been identified, will notify you of the correct price before payment is made.
5.3 These prices on our site exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due as set out on the relevant page of our site; however, in some circumstances, delivery is free of charge (as per our delivery policy).
5.4 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.
5.5 Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product’s correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
5.6 We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
5.7 If we are not able to accept your order, we will, at our option either not debit your credit or debit card or refund any money paid by you in respect of that order.
5.8 Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card. We accept payment only by the methods specified on the checkout page.
5.9 By submitting an order to us through our website you represent and warrant that the payment details provided on your order are valid and correct and that when your order is accepted and processed by us, payment will be made in full.
5.10 We are not responsible for any charges or other amounts applied by your card issuer or bank as a result of our processing your credit/debit card payment in accordance with your order.
5.11 For card payments, all credit and debit cardholders may be subject to authorisation and authentication. If the issuer of your payment card or our service provider refuses to, or does not for any reason authorise or validate the payment, we will not be liable in these circumstances for any delay or non-delivery in respect of the Product(s) which you have ordered as a result.
5.12 By providing the relevant information to us, you specifically authorise us to transmit or to obtain information about you from relevant third parties from time to time, including but not limited to your name, address, telephone number, debit or credit card details or credit reports, to authenticate your identity and delivery address for the Product(s), validate your payment card and obtain authorisations for your payments for Product(s).

6. YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL
6.1 If you are contracting as a consumer (as ‘consumer’ is defined in clause 2.3(b) above), you have a right under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 (as amended) to cancel the Contract at any time within fourteen working days, beginning on the day after you received the Products. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products (including the original initial delivery charges subject to any import duties and taxes which you have paid and which you will not receive any refund for) in accordance with our returns policy at clause 7 below.
6.2 If you want to exercise your right under clause 6.1 to cancel a Contract, please email us on hello@littlesisterlondon.com and we will provide you with the relevant information for you to return the Product(s), including any documentation and the original packaging to us immediately, in the same condition in which you received them. Products which are returned to us under this clause 6.2 should, for your protection, be insured and sent via a trackable courier.
6.3 Please note that you will be responsible for the costs of returning the Products to us (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the payment of any import duties and/or taxes) unless we delivered the items to you in error or the Products are faulty. If you do not return the Products as required, we may charge you a sum not exceeding the direct costs of recovering the Products.
6.4 You must take reasonable care of the Products whilst they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may refuse to accept your cancellation under this clause 6 and/or have a right of action against you for compensation.
6.5 Please also note that you will not have the right to cancel the Contract under this clause 6 where you have asked us to personalise the Products to your order or if the Product is bespoke in any way.
6.6 It is important for you to know that nothing in this clause 6 affects your rights as a consumer (as ‘consumer’ is defined at clause 2.3(b) above). As a consumer you have the benefit of certain warranties implied into the Contract. For example, the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended) implies a term into the Contract that the Products must be of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose. Please see clause 7.2(b) below in relation to Products which you consider are defective.

7. OUR RETURNS POLICY
7.1 For the avoidance of doubt, we only offer refunds or exchanges in the circumstances set out in and in accordance with clauses 6 and 7.2, otherwise we will not offer any refunds or exchanges.
7.2 When you return a Product to us:
(a) because you have cancelled the Contract between us in accordance with clause 6 above, we will refund the price of the Product in full (subject to clause 6.3) we will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day you have given notice of your cancellation; or
(b) because you claim that the Product is defective, we will examine the returned Product considering, among other points, whether and to what extent (if any) the Product has been worn or used and damaged. As part of our examination, we may call you directly to discuss the Product in question and, if appropriate, discuss whether you would prefer a replacement of the Product or a refund. Subject to our agreement that a defect exists, you will be either refunded in full (including a refund of the delivery charges for sending the item to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the item to us), or the Product in question will be replaced. If you choose to be refunded for the Product, we will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you that you were entitled to a refund for the defective Product.
(c) Save in exceptional circumstances, we will make refunds using the same method, and returning the price paid to the same card originally used by you to pay for your purchase. For the avoidance of doubt, gift card recipients are entitled to exchange only in respect of Products.
