22. We intend that these Terms and Conditions apply only to a Contract entered into by you as a Consumer.

Withdrawal, returns and cancellation

37. You can withdraw the Order by telling us before the Contract is made, if you simply wish to change your mind and without giving us a reason, and without incurring any liability.

38. This is a distance contract (as defined below) which has the cancellation rights (Cancellation Rights) set out below. These Cancellation Rights, however, do not apply, to a contract for the following goods (with no others) in the following circumstances:

a. goods that are made to your specifications or are clearly personalised;

b. goods which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly.

39. Also, the Cancellation Rights for a Contract cease to be available in the following circumstances:

a. in the case of any sales contract, if the goods become mixed inseparably (according to their nature) with other items after delivery.

Right to cancel

40. Subject as stated in these Terms and Conditions, you can cancel this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

41. The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party, other than the carrier indicated by you, acquires physical possession of the last of the Goods. In a contract for the supply of goods over time (ie subscriptions), the right to cancel will be 14 days after the first delivery.

42. To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel this Contract by a clear statement setting out your decision by email.

45. Except as set out below, if you cancel this Contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, excluding the costs of delivery. You will be responsible for returning the items using a courier or other tracked postal method.

Deduction for Goods supplied

46. 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 (ie handling the Goods beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Goods: eg it goes beyond the sort of handling that might be reasonably allowed in a shop). This is because you are liable for that loss and, if that deduction is not made, you must pay us the amount of that loss.

Timing of reimbursement

47. If we have not offered to collect the Goods, we will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than:

a. 14 days after the day we receive back from you any Goods supplied, or

b. (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have sent back the Goods.

48. If we have offered to collect the Goods or if no Goods were supplied, we will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this Contract.

49. We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.

Returning Goods

50. If you have received Goods in connection with the Contract which you have cancelled, you must send back the Goods or hand them over to us at 85-87 Fidlas Road, Llanishen, Cardiff, South Glamorgan, Wales, CF14 0LY without delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate to us your cancellation of this Contract. The deadline is met if you send back the Goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You agree that you will have to bear the cost of returning the Goods.

51. For the purposes of these Cancellation Rights, these words have the following meanings:

a. distance contract means a contract concluded between a trader and a consumer under an organised distance sales or service-provision scheme without the simultaneous physical presence of the trader and the consumer, with the exclusive use of one or more means of distance communication up to and including the time at which the contract is concluded;

b. sales contract means a contract under which a trader transfers or agrees to transfer the ownership of goods to a consumer and the consumer pays or agrees to pay the price, including any contract that has both goods and services as its object.

Conformity

52. We have a legal duty to supply the Goods in conformity with the Contract, and will not have conformed if it does not meet the following obligation.

53. Upon delivery, the Goods will:

a. be of satisfactory quality;

b. be reasonably fit for any particular purpose for which you buy the Goods which, before the Contract is made, you made known to us (unless you do not actually rely, or it is unreasonable for you to rely, on our skill and judgment) and be fit for any purpose held out by us or set out in the Contract; and

c. conform to their description.

54. It is not a failure to conform if the failure has its origin in your materials.

55. We will provide the following after-sales service: The supplier will answer any relevant questions regarding products sold.

Circumstances beyond the control of either party

57. In the event of any failure by a party because of something beyond its reasonable control:

a. the party will advise the other party as soon as reasonably practicable; and

b. the party’s obligations will be suspended so far as is reasonable, provided that that party will act reasonably, and the party will not be liable for any failure which it could not reasonably avoid, but this will not affect the Customer’s above rights relating to delivery and any right to cancel, below.

Excluding liability

64. The Supplier does not exclude liability for: (i) any fraudulent act or omission; or (ii) for death or personal injury caused by negligence or breach of the Supplier’s other legal obligations. Subject to this, the Supplier is not liable for (i) loss which was not reasonably foreseeable to both parties at the time when the Contract was made, or (ii) loss (eg loss of profit) to the Customer’s business, trade, craft or profession which would not be suffered by a Consumer – because the Supplier believes the Customer is not buying the Goods wholly or mainly for its business, trade, craft or profession.

Governing law, jurisdiction and complaints

65. The Contract (including any non-contractual matters) is governed by the law of England and Wales.

66. Disputes can be submitted to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales or, where the Customer lives in Scotland or Northern Ireland, in the courts of respectively Scotland or Northern Ireland.

67. We try to avoid any dispute, so we deal with complaints in the following way: If a dispute occurs customers should contact us via email info@little-madam.co.uk to find a solution. We will aim to respond with an appropriate solution within 5 days..
