The contract between us (Contract) will be formed when we send you an acknowledgement email which confirms our acceptance of your offer to purchase the Products.
3.2 The Contract will relate only to those Products indicated in the acknowledgement email.
We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until acceptance of your order for those Products has been confirmed in a separate acknowledgement email.

We may provide links on our website to the websites of other companies, whether affiliated with us or not. We cannot give any undertaking that products you purchase from companies to whose website we have provided a link on our website will be of satisfactory quality. This disclaimer does not affect your statutory rights against the third party seller. We will notify
you when a third party is involved in a transaction, and we may disclose your customer information related to that transaction to the third party seller in order for the transaction to proceed.

To cancel a Contract, you will also need to return the Product(s) to us immediately, in the same condition in which you received them, and at your own cost and risk. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable
care of the Products while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with thisobligation, we may have a legal right to claim compensation from you.
5.3 This section 5 does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.
6. Availability, delivery, risk & title
6.1 We aim to process and ship your order within 14 working days of confirming your order.
Should your order be likely to be delayed (such as where items are out of stock), we will contact you. If you have any queries regarding the shipping of your order, please contact Scissor Stitch at enquiries@scissorstitch.co.uk, or by telephone on +44(0)121 453 0400.
6.2 The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery and 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.
7. Price & payment
7.1 The price of any Products will be as quoted on our website (except in cases of obvious error) and prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due as listed on our delivery charges page.
7.2 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you an acknowledgement email.
7.3 Our website contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our website 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 website, 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.
7.4 We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you an acknowledgement email, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing.
7.5 Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card. We accept all major credit and debit cards, with the exception of Diners Club International and we will not charge your credit or debit card until we despatch your order.
8. Our refunds policy
8.1 Whilst we hope you will be delighted with your order, if for any reason you are not completely satisfied, we will be happy to offer a refund, exchange or replacement on Products returned to us within 14 days of receipt, provided that returned Products are in their original, unopened and unused condition. Your statutory rights are not affected. Instructions for return will be included with your order.
8.2 When you return a Product to us because you have cancelled the Contract between us within the 14-day cooling-off period (see section 5.1 above), we will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the date you have given notice of your cancellation. In this case, we will refund the price of the Product in full, including the delivery charges for sending the item to you. However, you will be responsible for the cost of
returning the item to us.
8.3 When you return a Product to us for any other reason, (for example because you claim that the Product is defective), we will examine the returned Product and will notify you of your refund via email within a reasonable period of time.
8.4 We will usually process any refund due to you under section 8.3 as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the date we confirmed to you via email that you were entitled to a refund for the defective Product. Products returned by you because of a defect will be refunded in full, including a refund of the delivery charges for sending the item to you and the postage cost incurred by you in returning the item to us.

14. Other Matters
14.1 We may transfer, assign, charge, sub-contract or otherwise dispose of any Contract, but you may not do so without our prior written consent.
