1. Product Descriptions on our Website

1 We will take all reasonable care to ensure that all Product Descriptions are correct at the time when the relevant information was first entered onto the Website. We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the appearances, colours, textures or finishes of our Products. What you see will depend on your computer equipment, screen or monitor and we are therefore unable to guarantee that a Product’s images are an accurate representation of the actual merchandise. Please refer to our Returns Policy if you are unhappy with your Order. Where Villageretreat is creating a design to your requirements to be printed on one of our products, this service is being provided in relation to the product production and is not offered as a professional service in its own right. Therefore you remain fully responsible for accepting the design proposed and we accept no liability what so ever for the design solution offered or any losses incurred through its use. In providing these solutions reasonable care is taken to ensure that no copyrights or licences are infringed and we will advise you if we have used licensable material and the constants where applicable of the licences in relation to the use of that material where procured on your behalf.

2. Product Availability

2.1 The Website features Products that have been carefully selected for sale by Villageretreat or our partner artists on the Website. Products are subject to availability so once a Product has sold out it will be taken off the Website at the earliest opportunity and may not be available again. As there is a delay between the time when your Order is placed, and the time when the Order is accepted, the stock position relating to particular Products may change. If a Product you have ordered goes out of stock before we accept your Order, then Villageretreat shall not be liable to you for being unable to provide that Product. If such a situation arises, then we shall notify you as soon as possible and you will not be charged for the out of stock Product. The presence of a design on our website does not constitute an offer for sale unless stated otherwise.

3. Pricing Policy

3.1 All Product prices are in pounds (£) sterling and are inclusive of UK value added tax (“VAT”) (where applicable), at the current rate, and are correct at the time that the Product Description was first entered on to the Website. Prices of Products may change from time to time due to variations of raw materials in our supply chain . Villageretreat will make reasonable efforts to ensure prices displayed on our site can be maintained without variation for a reasonable time period to allow our clients to resell our products to third parties. Any promotional discounts or offers may also be withdrawn at any time.

3.2 Although we try to ensure all our Product’s prices displayed in the Product Description are accurate, errors may sometimes occur. If we discover an error in the price of a Product you have ordered we will be unable to accept your Order and shall contact you as soon as possible in order to give the option of either reconfirming your Order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you, we will treat your Order in respect of the incorrectly priced item as cancelled. Our products may be available in on line auction sites including Ebay or from other retailers at a higher price due to their commission levies.

4. Order process

d) Where appropriate, we may ask you to authorise a draft design for your product in writing or by electronic means , if the product is being created for you.

b) the date and time delivery by us to your nominated address.

d) there is a system or procurement failure;
