    Introduction

    You will be able to access most areas of this Website without registering your details with us. Certain areas of this Website are only open to you if you register. We may revise these terms and conditions at any time by updating this posting so please check this Website from time to time to view the current terms and conditions, because they are binding on you.

    Certain provisions of these terms and conditions may be superseded or overridden by expressly designated legal notices or terms located elsewhere on this Website. If you do not accept any revised terms and conditions you should cease using this Website.

    Ordering from us

    You are deemed to have placed an order with us by completing our online checkout process. We will send you an order acknowledgement (invoice) by email, detailing the products you have ordered. We are not deemed to have accepted all or any part of an order until we despatch the products and, accordingly, acceptance of an order may be made in instalments or we may accept part of an order and decline part of it. If payment has been taken for all or any part of an order that is declined we will make a refund of all or the relevant part of the payment. We will notify you by email if we decline all or part of an order or if we anticipate a significant delay in our ability to dispatch any products (in which event you will be able to cancel the order in respect of those products). Please note that we reserve the right to brand our personalised products.

    You must be of 18 or above to order any of our personalised alcohol products. We may refuse to accept an order if:

    1. products are not available
    2. we cannot obtain authorisation for your payment
    3. there has been a pricing or product description error
    4. you do not meet any of the eligibility criteria set out in our terms and conditions
    5. the order is to be delivered outside of the United Kingdom
    6. If we believe your order is for commercial or other non-domestic concerns

    Pricing

    All prices include VAT (where applicable) at the current rates. Where we charge separately for packing, carriage and insurance and other relevant charges, the appropriate rates are set out in our specified pricing structure shown elsewhere on this Website. Prices may change at any time but if prices are increased after you have placed an order but before it is despatched you will not be charged the higher price.

    Delivery

    We will deliver the products you have ordered to the delivery address you specify when you place your order. We do not accept liability for, or for any costs arising from, any failure to deliver or need to redeliver if any of the delivery address details you have given us are incorrect. You may specify a delivery address that is different from your billing address, e.g. for delivery to a friend, a relative, or to your place of work.

    We do not deliver outside of the UK except where specified on our Delivery Information page.

    Delivery will be made as soon as practicable. We process and dispatch orders Monday to Friday 8am - 5pm so delivery and dispatch timescales quoted on the Website exclude weekends or bank holidays. Whilst we endeavour to deliver products within the specified timescales we cannot guarantee delivery in, or accept liability for deliveries made outside those timescales. We do not accept liability for out of pocket expenses or other costs incurred due to failed or delayed deliveries.

    Some postal addresses in Northern Ireland, some islands and some remote areas of Great Britain may not be covered by our normal delivery services and so we may have to contact you to advise you of extra postal charges. Please notify us by email if the product(s) you have ordered have not arrived within [14] days of placing the order. The The Original Metal Sign Company accepts no liability for non-delivery if you have not notified us by email within 28 days of placing the order. The majority of our products are despatched by Royal Mail. If RM48 delivery is selected this is sent via second class Royal Mail which is estimated to be delivered in 2-3 working days, but is not guaranteed. If RM24 delivery is selected this is sent via first class Royal Mail which is estimated to be delivered in 1-2 working days, but this is not guaranteed.

    If you have not received your items, you must check with your local sorting office before contacting us even if you have not received notification from your postman that they are holding items for you.

    In the event you have not received your order, we must allow the following timescales before we can take further action, and claim back from the carrier for lost items: RM48: 14 working days from date of despatch; RM24: 10 working days from date of despatch.

    Please note: we will not be held liable for any late deliveries if delays occur by causes beyond our reasonable control including, without limitation:

    1. Fire
    2. Severe weather conditions
    3. War, civil commotion or act of terrorism
    4. Industrial dispute, strike or labour disputes; or any other event that is not reasonably foreseeable

    Order Cancellations

    For most general website sales you have the legal right to cancel your order. We can only accept cancellations of orders that are not subject to a statutory right of cancellation if you notify us within 1 hour of placing the order, through the Website or by telephone.

    We reserve the right to cancel your order at any time and issue a full refund. The provisions of this clause do not affect your statutory rights.

    Returns and exchange

    If you are not completely satisfied with your products, simply return them to us at any time within 14 working days of receipt. The costs of returning products to us shall be borne by you and will not be refunded. The item is your responsibility until it reaches us. For your own protection, we recommend that you send the parcel back to us using a delivery service that insures you for the value of the products as we cannot be held responsible for items damaged or lost in the post.

    Your rights to return the products to us will not apply in the following circumstances: - where, in our opinion, you have not taken reasonable care of products whilst in your possession and/ or have not returned them with the original packaging.

    • the product is a perishable item that has been consumed or disposed of

    If you return an item because of an error on our part, or because it is defective, we will happily refund the full value of the item. You can contact our Customer Service department quoting your order number, your name and address, details of the product and the reason for return, and whether you require a refund or a replacement.

    Please note we may request a photo to show the damage/ issue before a refund is issued.

    The item(s) must be returned in the condition in which you received it and within 30 days of delivery.

    Please note that returns can take up to 7 working days to reach us, unless sent via special delivery.

    This returns policy does not affect your statutory rights.

    Discounts

    If a discount was applied to your original order, the amount refunded will be adjusted to allow for the revised order value and appropriate discount level. Please note you can only use one discount code per order.
