Contract creation and electronic contracting

The technical steps required to create the contract between You and Us are as follows:

You will be guided through the process of placing an order by a series of simple instructions on the website. You create an offer to Us to buy the Product(s) in your order by pressing the “place order” button at the end of the checkout process.

We will send an order acknowledgement email to You detailing the Product(s) that You have ordered. The “order acknowledgement email” is just an acknowledgement that We have received your order and does not confirm acceptance of your offer to buy the Product(s) ordered.

As your goods are shipped from our warehouse We will send You a “despatch confirmation email”.

Order acceptance and the completion of the contract between You and Us will take place on the despatch to You of the Product(s) ordered unless we have notified You that We do not accept your order, or You have cancelled it.

Non-acceptance of an order may be a result of one of the following:

  • The product You ordered being unavailable from stock.
  • Our inability to obtain authorisation for your payment.
  • The identification of a pricing or product description error.
  • You not meeting the eligibility to order criteria set out in the main Terms & Conditions.

To exercise the right to cancel, You must inform Us of your decision to cancel your contract by a clear statement, including details of your name, geographical address, details of the order you wish to cancel and, where available, your phone number and email address. You can cancel by email: sales@davidmellordesign.co.uk, call 01433 650220, or write to: David Mellor Design Mail Order, The Round Building, Hathersage, Sheffield, S32 1BA.

If you wish to exercise your right of cancellation, You are obliged to retain possession of the goods and take reasonable care of them.

Effect of cancellation

If you decide to cancel, You should return the goods to Us at your cost within 14 days of such cancellation and We will reimburse to You (by the method used to pay for the original transaction) the amount in relation to goods to which cancellation rights apply.

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by You. We will make the reimbursement no later than 14 days after the day We receive back from You any goods supplied.

Exceptions to the right of cancellation

Your right to return products does not apply to:

  • Goods made to your specification or that have been clearly personalised.
  • Goods which by reason of their nature are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly.
  • Goods which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygienic reasons if unsealed by you after delivery.

Lost or damaged parcels, breakages, shortages

You must notify us of any lost or damaged parcels, breakages or item shortages within 7 days from the delivery date of the order. The delivery date is the date that the parcel shows as being delivered on the tracking system of our courier.

Pricing and availability

Prices shown are in pounds sterling, and exclude the cost of delivery. All prices are inclusive of legally applicable VAT. We reserve the right to amend prices in the event of a change in the rate of VAT or supplier price increases.

We also offer the option of displaying the prices in other currencies. Non-sterling prices are shown for indicative purposes only. Your payment card will be billed in British Pounds Sterling. The local currency amount billed to your statement will vary because the GBP amount is converted using the exchange rate of your credit card company/bank. You may also incur additional currency conversion fees, please check with your financial provider.

We list availability information for products sold by Us on the Website including on each Product information page. Beyond what we say on that page or otherwise on the Website, We cannot be more specific about availability. As We process your order, We will inform You by email as soon as possible if any Product(s) You order turn out to be unavailable and You will not be charged for those Product(s).

Please note that unless We indicate otherwise, delivery times are just estimates. They are not guaranteed delivery times and should not be relied upon as such.

Despite our best efforts, a small number of the items in our catalogue may be mispriced. We will verify pricing when processing your order and before We take payment. If We have made a mistake and a Product's correct price is higher than the price on the Website, We may either contact You before dispatch to request whether You want to buy the product at the correct price or cancel your order. If a product's correct price is lower than our stated price, We will charge the lower amount and send You the Product.
