GENERAL

1. These terms and conditions are applicable to the supply of products made by the Seller, hereafter referred as Home Fragrance Direct, to the buyer hereafter referred as the Customer.
2. The Online Store is for use by individuals aged 15 and over. You should not use the Online Store if you are under this age.

PRICE

3. The prices of the goods will be as quoted on the Online Store from time to time. We take reasonable care to ensure that the prices of goods are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However if we discover an error in the price of Product(s) you ordered, please see clause 2.4 for what happens in this event.
4. Prices for our goods may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order which we have confirmed.
5. All prices are quoted in GB Pound Sterling and include VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.
6. The Online Store contains a large number of products. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the products on the Online Store may be incorrectly priced. If we discover an error in the price of the products you have ordered we will inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the product at the correct price or cancelling your order.

We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. Please note that if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.

PAYMENT

7. Payments may be made by one of the following payment methods (except International Customers see clause 16) unless otherwise specified:

Major credit cards as listed: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Maestro, and Visa Electron

8. You may select to view the price of the products on our Online Store in any currency supported by us and the relevant exchange rate at the date you make payment shall be applied on checkout so payment is received by us in GB Pounds Sterling.
9. Any discount or other promotional codes issued by Home Fragrance Direct from time to time are strictly subject to the individual terms and conditions with which they were issued, which may include, amongst other things, eligibility of use and maximum order value. Certain products may be excluded and you will not be able to use discount codes in respect of such brands/products.
10. We reserve the right to reject or cancel any orders which do not comply with these terms even if your credit or debit card has been charged (and will refund in full any amounts paid by you in respect of the order).

Discount codes are non-transferable and bear no cash value. Any discount code sent to you by email or any other method is confidential and the Customer shall not share this with any other person.

PASSING OF PROPERTY

11 Home Fragrance Direct shall retain the property of the goods until full payment has been made by the Customer and has been received. The Customer will own the goods once full payment has been received by Home Fragrance Direct.

ORDERS

12. All Orders are subject to acceptance and availability. Upon placing an Order with Home Fragrance Direct, the Customer will receive an order acknowledgement and subsequent update email(s). Receipt of the acknowledgement and these emails does not confirm that the Order has been accepted by Home Fragrance Direct.

Order acceptance and the creation of the contract between Home Fragrance Direct and the Customer will start at the time the products ordered by the Customer are despatched from Home Fragrance Direct’s warehouse to be delivered to the address supplied by the Customer.

13. Home Fragrance Direct will take all reasonable care in accordance with applicable laws, in so far as it is in its power to do so, to keep the details of the Customer’s Order and payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on its part (and, subject to applicable laws, including laws relating to data protection and privacy) Home Fragrance Direct cannot be held liable for any loss suffered by Home Fragrance Direct if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the Online Store.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the Online Store; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

14. Products purchased from Home Fragrance Direct are not for re-sale or distribution. Home Fragrance Direct can at its sole discretion restrict ordering to a maximum of 5 pieces of any individual products and reserve the right to cancel any Orders which are suspected are being purchased for re-sale or distribution.

DELIVERY

15. Any date or period for delivery shall be considered as indicative only. It is our policy to try to despatch all orders within 3 working days. Any products not available at the time of your order will be sent to you, as soon as possible, when received from the supplier. In any case, delivery will be made within 30 days after the date we accept your order.

If there are delays in the delivery caused by the supplier, the carrier or any other third party then Home Fragrance Direct will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and, provided we do this, we will not be liable for such delay. If there is a substantial delay you may end the contract using the procedure at clause 10 below and will be entitled to receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.

15.1 We deliver to the countries listed on the Online Store, subject to our absolute discretion, (“International Delivery Destinations”). However, there are restrictions on some goods for certain International Delivery Destinations, so please review the information on the Online Store carefully before ordering goods.

15.2 If you order goods from the Online Store for delivery to one of the International Delivery Destinations, your order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when the delivery reaches that destination. Please note that we have no control over these charges and we cannot predict their amount.

15.3 You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order.

15.4 You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Products are destined. We will not be liable or responsible if you break any such law.

15.5 If Home Fragrance Direct deliver your products late then you may treat the order as at an end in any of the following circumstances: if Home Fragrance Direct have refused to deliver the goods, if delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances), or if you told Home Fragrance Direct before the order was accepted that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential. If you do not want to end the order, you can set another delivery deadline (which must be reasonable) and end the order if Home Fragrance Direct don’t meet the new order deadline. Otherwise, you can cancel the order and we will refund any amounts paid for the products and delivery.

Where products have been delivered, you must return these to Home Fragrance Direct at the address above and we will refund the costs of such return.

SHIPPING

16. All Orders will be delivered using the service as detailed at the time of ordering. Further details regarding delivery methods and services can be found at https://homefragrancedirect.com/returns-refunds-policy/ and https://homefragrancedirect.com/shipping-policy/  . Home Fragrance Direct has the right to fluctuate any prices in proportion with its costs for shipping but the cost of delivery will always be notified to you prior to completion of your order. The Customer must request any other delivery method at the time of order.

PASSING OF RISK

17. Customer will assume risk of the products ordered once they have been delivered to the address specified on the Order. Home Fragrance Direct accept no liability for undelivered parcels where the Customer provides an incorrect or invalid delivery address and/or fails to collect the Order from the delivery address specified following our reasonable efforts to contact you to deal with this.

17.1 In the event of an order being lost by a third party which has either been authorised by you to accept the products or a courier commissioned by you to deliver the products, Home Fragrance Direct bears no risk once it has been delivered to them. Where goods have been received damaged, a full refund will be made if we are notified of the problem within 30 days of delivery by phone, email or otherwise in writing. You will then be required to return the goods together with their original packaging to the Home Fragrance Direct trading address, also see clauses 9 and 10, below.

17.2 Where the goods are signed for, the customer bears the risk once the goods are signed for (provided they are signed for by the customer or a person identified as authorised by you). If a customer believes that a parcel has been tampered with, it is their responsibility to refuse to sign for the goods (for the avoidance of doubt, signature for the parcel does not affect your rights of return under clause 10).

TITLE AND DEFECTS

18. The Products shall be owned by you once we have received payment in full for the Products. The Customer shall inspect the goods within a reasonable time after their receipt. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says products must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. The Customer shall notify the seller in writing or by email if the goods are faulty or misdescribed and shall be entitled to a full refund, to get the product repaired or replaced or to get some of their money back (please see clause 19 below).

RETURNS PROCEDURE

19.1 If the goods are to be rejected, the Customer shall comply with the return procedure as defined in this clause 10. Home Fragrance Direct will not accept any returned goods should the return not follow the aforementioned return procedure.

19.3 In cases where the rejection of the goods is due to a defect or discrepancy in the order, the Customer is entitled to a full refund within 30 days of the date of delivery of the products. The Customer must notify Home fragrance Direct within 30 days of delivery and return the product to Home fragrance Direct before the refund can be issued.

We will examine the returned product and will notify you of and process your refund within a reasonable period of time and, in any case, within 14 days of the day we confirm to you 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 cost incurred by you in returning the item to us.

19.4 In cases where rejection of products is due to a defect or misdescription, in addition to the right at clause 10.3 above, for up to 6 months following the date of delivery, the Customer shall be entitled to a refund (at our discretion). You must notify us that a refund is required in accordance with our returns policy and return the product to us. Following expiry of this period and for up to 6 years from delivery, you may be entitled to a partial refund.

The rights described in clauses 19.3 and 19.4 are a summary of your key legal rights. For more detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website at www.adviceguide.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06.

19.5 In cases where the rejection is due to an incorrect order from the Customer or to dissatisfaction (where we are not at fault), the Customer is entitled to a partial refund (full refund of the goods less any postage costs), unless the order is cancelled within the cooling off period in accordance with clause 11, in which case a full refund will be given. However, the Customer will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to Home fragrance Direct. Goods must be returned to Home fragrance Direct before the partial refund can be issued.

19.6 If any problems with your products cannot be satisfactorily resolved through our returns procedure, you may want to submit your issue for online resolution to https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/odr/main/index.cfm?event=main.home.chooseLanguage.
