Tulchan Textiles Limited - Terms and Conditions of Sale and use of this Website

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE CAREFULLY BEFORE PLACING YOUR ORDER AND RETAIN A COPY OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND YOUR ORDER FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

This page states the Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") under which You may use the website located at www.tulchanonline.co.uk (the "Website") and which govern Our supply of goods to You.

Tulchan Textiles Limited, referred to as "We", "Us" or "Our" in these Terms, may revise these Terms at any time by updating this posting. You should visit this page periodically to review the Terms and Conditions because they are binding on You. Continued use of the Website constitutes Your agreement to all such revised Terms. If You do not accept the Terms and Conditions stated here, do not use the Website.

The terms "You", "Your", "Yourself" and "Yours", when used in these Terms, includes any user of the Website, whether such user is a consumer or a business.

  • Formation of the Contract

    Where You place an order for goods as a consumer no contract exists between You and Us for the sale of any goods until You have received confirmation that Your order has been dispatched. We will not take any payment from You until Your order is confirmed as dispatched. Once You receive confirmation that Your order has been dispatched, there is a binding legal contract between the parties (the "Contract"). Any goods on the same order which are not confirmed as having been dispatched do not form part of that Contract.

    If you are placing an order in the course of a business ("Business Customer") we may refuse to accept Your order or terminate the Contract for the goods the subject of that order by notice in writing to You and without liability if Your account with us is on Credit Hold, your account has been suspended and/or any of the events set out in clause 14 have occurred. Your account will be deemed on Credit Hold should you exceed your maximum credit limit agreed by Us from time to time.

    In using this Website and by placing an order, You warrant that You are legally capable of entering into binding contracts and You are at least 18 years old.

  • Description and price of the goods

    The description and price of the goods You order will be as shown on this Website at the time You submit Your order. You can correct any errors to Your order up to the point at which You click on "Complete Order" on the final page of the ordering process.

    Sometimes the product specifications of goods may change, in which case We will offer You a reasonable substitute of the same or better quality at the same price. All sizes and measurements are approximate but We try to make sure that they are as accurate as possible. On the rare occasion that there is an error, We will advise You about it within a reasonable amount of time.

    The goods are subject to availability. If on receipt of Your order the goods You have ordered are not available in stock, We will inform You within a reasonable amount of time and You are free to cancel Your order if You wish to do so. If You cancel Your order We will refund or credit You for any sum that has been paid by You or debited from Your credit card or other account for those goods.

    There may be restrictions in place from time to time in relation to the number and type of goods which You may purchase in any one order, as well as a maximum sum of money which may be spent on any one order. Any such restrictions will be advised on this Website.

    Every effort is made to ensure that prices shown on this Website are accurate at the time You place Your order. If an error is found, We will inform You within a reasonable amount of time and offer You the option of reconfirming Your order at the correct price or cancelling Your order. If You cancel, We will refund or credit You for any sum that has been paid by You or debited from Your credit card or other account for the goods.

    Save as set out on the Website the price of the goods does not include the cost of delivery. Details of delivery charges are shown on the Website. Where You are dealing as a consumer prices and delivery charges include VAT where applicable. Where appropriate VAT is charged at the rate prevailing at the relevant tax point and will be shown separately on Your invoice/statement.

    Prices of goods sold to Business Customers are exclusive of VAT. We shall charge VAT where appropriate at the rate prevailing at the relevant tax point.

    Goods and promotions which We offer on the Website may not necessarily be available in store and vice versa. Offers are only available subject to their specific terms and conditions which are shown on the Website.

  • Payment

    Payment for the goods and delivery charges can be made by any method shown on the Website at the time You place Your order.

    Credit or debit card information is recorded at the point at which You submit Your order, with Your card being authorised against the transaction. However, We will not take any payment until Your order is confirmed as dispatched.

    • For Business Customers

      When dealing as a Business Customer You will need to register for a Customer Login. Failure to sign in to the Website using Your Customer Login will mean that you are treated as a consumer and orders may only be processed on receipt of a credit card and at standard RRP pricing. We will undertake a Companies House search and/or other relevant searches on You We deem appropriate and a credit check prior to issuing any Customer Login details to You. A Customer Login will only be issued if we are satisfied with the result of such searches and checks.

      Subject to prior written agreement to the contrary, We shall be entitled to invoice the Customer for the price of the Goods on or at any time after we have notified You that the Goods have been dispatched.

      Any price quoted by Us is based upon costs current as at the date of quotation. The price charged to You under the Contract may be changed to take account of costs current at the date of invoice.

      You shall make payment in full within thirty days following the date appearing on Our invoice notwithstanding that the delivery may not have taken place and the property in the goods may not have passed to You. Interest at the annual rate of 4% over the base rate of Barclays Bank Plc will be charged at the rate prevailing on the due date on all monies outstanding after the due date until the actual date of payment (both before and after judgment) and any cash discount will not be allowed to You.

  • Delivery

    The goods You order will be delivered to the address You gave when You placed Your order, subject to payment of the relevant delivery charge. If We do not deliver to a particular destination You will be so notified by Us before You submit Your order or as soon as possible thereafter.

    Where You are dealing as a consumer we aim to dispatch all deliveries within 48 hours (Monday - Friday (but excluding Bank or public holidays in England, Scotland and Wales)) or as soon as possible thereafter subject to the goods being in stock.

    You will need to sign for the goods at the point of delivery.

    If there is no one at the address given who can accept delivery of the goods, the postman or courier should notify You of an alternative delivery date, or a place to collect the goods, or details of how to arrange an alternative delivery date.

    Where You are dealing as a consumer every effort will be made to deliver the goods as soon as possible after Your order has been accepted by Us and in any event within 30 days of Your order. However, We will not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by You through any reasonable or unavoidable delay in delivery. We will inform You of any delay as soon as possible.

    Where You are a Business Customer We will use Our reasonable endeavours to deliver the goods as near as possible to the date for delivery requested by You. However, any date for delivery of the goods is an estimate only and time shall not be of the essence. We shall not be liable for any failure to meet any such estimate, nor for any loss, of whatsoever nature resulting directly or indirectly therefrom.

  • Your right of cancellation

    If You are a consumer (but not where You are a Business Customer), You have the right to cancel the Contract at any time up to the end of seven working days after You receive the goods. A working day is any day other than weekends and bank or other public holidays.

    To exercise Your right of cancellation, You must give written notice to Us by hand or post, fax or email, at the address, fax number or email address shown below, giving details of the goods ordered and (where appropriate) their delivery.

    If You exercise Your right of cancellation after the goods have been delivered to You, You will be responsible for returning the goods to Us at Your own cost (unless We delivered the goods in error or if the goods are damaged or defective when delivered). The goods must be returned to the address shown below. You must take all reasonable care to ensure the goods are not damaged in the meantime or in transit.

    Once You have notified Us that You are cancelling the Contract, and provided the goods have been received in an acceptable condition, We will refund or credit You within 30 days for any sum that has been paid by You or debited from Your credit card or other account for the goods.

    If You are a Business Customer You may not cancel or suspend the Contract in whole or in part without Our prior written consent and if we give Our consent, subject to such terms and conditions as we may notify to You in writing.

    If You are a Business Customer We may cancel any Contract with You by notice in writing to You and without any liability if Your account with us is on "Credit Hold", Your account has been suspended and/or any of the events set out in clause 14 have occurred.

  • Refunds

    • Subject to the provisions of clause 5, refunds are at our sole discretion. If You wish to obtain a refund, We will notify You of any refund via email within a reasonable period of time. We will usually refund any money received from You using the same method originally used by You to pay for Your purchase. If We are making a refund to You We will usually process the refund due to You as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day on which We received notice from You that You wished to obtain a refund.

    If You wish to obtain a refund because of a defect in the goods You will be refunded in full, provided that We are satisfied that the defect is genuine and that We cannot replace the goods within a reasonable period of time. Faulty garments may be returned using the enclosed pre-paid returns label at Our expense.

  • Risk and Title

    Where You are dealing as a consumer You will become the owner of the goods You ordered and responsible for risk of loss of or damage to them once they have been delivered to You.

    Where You are a Business Customer risk in the goods shall pass to You immediately on delivery to You or into custody on Your behalf whichever is the sooner.

    Notwithstanding delivery and the passing of risk, property in and title to the goods shall remain in Us until We have received payment of the full price of (a) all goods the subject of the Contract and (b) all other goods supplied by Us to You under any other contract whatsoever.
