GENERAL
- "The company" means Angel Couture.
- "The customer" means the person, firm or company with whom a contract for the sale of goods is reached.
- "The goods" mean the products and/or services which are the subject of an order from the buyer to the company, whatever the description.
- In the case of the customer being a limited company, all its directors, joint and several. Agree to be personally liable for payment to the company of all balances outstanding including interest, charges and any other monies due.
- Once the company has acknowledged the customers order, it becomes a contract and the customer shall purchase in accordance with the company to these Terms and Conditions which shall govern the contract to the exclusion of any other Terms and Conditions express and implied. No variations to these Terms and Conditions are binding unless agreed by the company in writing.
- Where a customer is in arrears with payment, the completion date of any outstanding orders will be extended indefinitely and the customer will be held fully liable for any such orders and may be asked to pay for such orders in advance of delivery.
- The customer agrees to allow the company to make full enquiries from all sources and pass on such information to third parties.
CANCELLATION
The customer can cancel an order without penalty within 7 days of the order date. After that date, the order cannot be revoked, but at the companies discretion it reserves the right to make a charge of 50% for any cancellation by the customer of any order to cover any losses suffered as a result of the cancellation.
DELIVERY
The company will use all reasonable means to deliver the goods within the delivery period quoted from the point of ordering, but will not be held liable for any losses arising from any delays in delivery as all delivery dates given are a business estimate only.
The customer shall inspect the goods immediately on the delivery date and once the goods have been paid for and taken away, the company is no longer responsible for any loss or damage to the goods, and is not liable to replace or refund. If there is any damage as a result from manufacture, it is the responsibility of the customer to inform the company in writing of any shortages, pilferage, or damage within 7 days of the delivery date. If the customer fails to give this notice, the goods shall be presumed to be in accordance with the contract and the customer shall be deemed to have accepted the goods accordingly.
Unless goods have faults linked directly with manufacture, the company will not accept unauthorized returns. Goods can only be returned for credit by the customer, provided agreement in writing has been confirmed and the goods are in pristine condition. Customers cannot return goods in lieu of payment. Returned does not mean acceptance by the company.
If the company accepts in writing that certain goods are of faulty manufacture, the company reserves the right to repair or replace as under the Sales of Goods Act 1979.
The customer accepts that the supply of samples is solely to enable the customer to judge the quality of the company's goods. Every effort is made to ensure all goods are to be manufactured identical to a sample. However no two goods will be identical in every detail. No such variations shall constitute to a breach of contract.
The company is not responsible for slight colour/shade differences between goods which may be a result of processes during fabric manufacture.
TITLE OF PROPERTY
All goods designed and manufactured by the company are subject to copyright of the company, and therefore any goods ordered or purchased by the customer cannot be copied or photographed by any buyer or third party. If breach of copyright occurs, the customer and buyer or third party will be liable for litigation.
A buyer may sell the goods by way of a principle sale, but not as an agent to a third party but may not otherwise dispose of the goods until the title has passed to the buyer after payment in full.
Should the buyer become subject to litigation or court orders, the customer may terminate all or any part of the contract with the buyer and suspend or cancel any deliveries.
OVERDUE ACCOUNTS
Normal payment terms are 50% deposit to be paid upon the first fitting/consultation. This is given at the discretion of the company. If no deposit is given at this time or a period of time afterwards, the customer has no rights to continue such orders and pro-forma terms will apply. The company has the right to cancel any orders when monies are owed.
Should the customer not make payment of the whole of the remaining monies owed on the delivery date, the company has the right to charge an interest rate of 4% per month until payment in full is received, plus any legal costs incurred. The company will also not release any goods until the monies owed have been settled.
DRY CLEANING
The company recommends specialist dry cleaning only for all goods and cannot accept any responsibility or liability over any damage to the goods or loss or damage to any embellishment on the goods during any cleaning process.
JURISDICTION
The contract incorporating these Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and in accordance with the laws of England and is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
These Terms and Conditions are not intended to limit or control any statutory rights. If any parts of these conditions are deemed to be invalid by any competent authority, the validity of other provisions of these Terms and Conditions shall not be affected thereby
