Terms & Conditions
This page (together with the documents referred to on it) tells you the terms and conditions on which we supply any of the products listed on our website to you. Please read these terms and conditions carefully before ordering. You should understand that by ordering any of our products, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.
1. INFORMATION ABOUT US
1. This site is operated by Global Scotcrest Ltd. We are registered in Scotland under company number SC404112 and our registered office is at 6th Floor, Gordon Chambers, 90 Mitchell Street, Glasgow, G1 3NQ. Our VAT number is 118710037
2. YOUR STATUS
By placing an order through Our Site, you warrant that:
1. You are legally capable of entering into binding contracts; and
2. You are at least 18 years old.
3. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US
1. After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us 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 between us (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.
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 Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.
4. CONSUMER RIGHTS
1. If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within fourteen working days, beginning on the day you receive the Products. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in Clause 8 below).
2. To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing. You must also 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 this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation.
3. You will not have any right to cancel a Contract for the supply of any Product which is personalised.
4. Details of this statutory right, and an explanation of how to exercise it, are provided in the Dispatch Confirmation. This provision does not affect your statutory rights.
5. AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY
1. Your order will be shipped from our workshop by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 10 days of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
2. We aim to have all orders despatched in line with the manufacturing time specified on our website i.e. some of our products are hand made to order and not held in stock (Clan plaques for example take approx 3-5 days to be made when production starts). If an order is for one of our products held in stock (mugs and whisky glasses and smaller items like key rings) then they will be dispatched within 24 hours stock permitting. A mixed order will always ship depending on the longest lead time product. If an item is temporarily out of stock, we will notify you of the delay and despatch it as soon as it arrives.
6. RISK AND TITLE
1. The Products will be at your risk from the time of receipt of the Products at the delivery address.
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.
7. PRICE AND PAYMENT
1. The price of any Products will be as quoted on Our Site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
2. These prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount depending on shipping address, weight of the total order and delivery service chosen.3. 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.
4. Our Site contains a wide range 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. 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.
6. Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card (we accept payment with most major credit debit and maestro cards) or Paypal. Our web based payment providers (Stripe & Paypal) offer the highest level of security features certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1. This is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry.
8. OUR REFUNDS POLICY
When you return a Product to us:
1. because you have cancelled the Contract between us within the fourteen-day cooling-off period (see Section 4 Consumer Rights), 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.
