8. TERMINATION POLICY
Right of withdrawal
You have the right to withdraw from this contractual agreement within a period of thirty days without providing substantiation for such withdrawal.
Please note that the goods, and in particular fabrics, will have been carefully inspected by us prior to despatch, and as such it will be your responsibility, your representatives, and that of any of your instructed agents i.e. curtain maker, tailor, seamstress, interior designer, and such like, etc., to ensure that the cut and quality is to your satisfaction prior to placing an order. Please note some fabrics and yarns can shrink during washing, dry cleaning, ironing, use, storage etc. and likewise that shades can vary between dye lots and fabric rolls, or yarns.
The withdrawal period spans a period of thirty days from the date upon which you or a third party nominated by you, who is not the carrier, shall take possession of the last of the goods being returned, insofar as you shall have ordered multiple goods within the parameters of an integrated order and such goods shall be delivered within separate shipments.
In order to exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us via email at goldthimblefabrics@gmail.com of your decision to withdraw from this contractual agreement by issuing a clear statement (e.g.an email) with your full name, order number using the email address used when placing the order along with an explanation for your reason for withdrawal.
Consequences of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contractual agreement, we shall only be obligated to process a refund to you of the payment for goods that we have received from you, exclusive of any delivery or shipping costs, immediately and no later than within thirty days from the date upon which we receive your notice of withdrawal from this contractual agreement.
Any such refund shall be remitted by means of the same method of payment that you used to carry out the original transaction unless an alternative arrangement has been expressly agreed with you.
However, if the goods have already been dispatched at the time of your withdrawal a refund will only be processed once we have received the returned goods, in a condition which is satisfactory to us to which we will be the sole judges.
As such, we may refuse to issue a refund until such time as we have had the goods returned again or until you have provided evidence of having returned the goods – whichever shall have occurred earlier.
You shall be required to return or hand over the goods to:-
Gold Thimble
70 Coustonholm Road
Glasgow, G43 1TZ
Scotland, United Kingdom
immediately and, in any case, no later than within thirty days from the date upon which you inform us of your withdrawal from this contractual agreement.
The deadline shall be deemed to have been met if you despatch the goods before expiry of the thirty-day period.
You shall bear the direct costs of returning the goods.
You shall be required to pay for any depreciation of the goods only if such depreciation is attributable to any unnecessary handling of the goods in order to examine their condition, properties and operation.
Reasons for exclusion or termination
The right of withdrawal shall not subsist in the instance of contractual agreements concluded for the delivery of goods that are not pre-fabricated and whose manufacture or delivery to the consumer is contingent upon an individual selection or stipulation of the consumer or which are exclusively customised to suit the consumer's personal requirements. We are unable to offer a refund on goods that have been cut, made or selected, or goods that have been used under any circumstances. For the avoidance of doubt, there is no right of withdrawal for fabrics that have been cut off the roll i.e. a bespoke order.
The right of withdrawal shall lapse prior to the scheduled date of expiry in the instance of contractual agreements concluded : -
− if goods in questions have been returned to us in a non saleable condition, including bespoke orders, or goods that have been damaged and we are unable to offer you a refund;
− for the delivery of sealed goods that are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal shall have been removed following delivery;
− for the delivery of goods that shall have been inseparably mixed with other commodities following delivery on account of their condition; or
− for the delivery of audio or video recordings or of computer software in sealed packaging if the seal shall have been removed following delivery.
9. REFUNDS POLICY
When you return goods to us because you have cancelled the contract between us during the cooling-off period we will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day you have given notice of your cancellation.
We will refund the price of the goods in full, excluding any delivery costs. We will not refund you the cost of sending the item to you. Likewise, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us.
If you are not satisfied with a product for it being incorrect, defective or damaged e.g. if it is not what you ordered, it is damaged or defective, or we have delivered an incorrect quantity, please return the product to us for inspection. Please note that the goods, and in particular fabrics, will have been carefully inspected by us prior to despatch, and as such it will be your responsibility, your representatives, and that of any of your instructed agents i.e. curtain maker, tailor, seamstress, interior designer, and such like, etc., to ensure that the cut and quality is to your satisfaction prior to placing an order. Please note some fabrics and yarns can shrink during washing, dry cleaning, ironing, use, storage etc. and likewise that shades can vary between dye lots and fabric rolls, or yarns.
Once we have confirmed the product defect or other problem, we will:
- provide a full or partial refund for any goods that are damaged or defective, if this is within a reasonable time following the sale; or
- at your option, repair or replace the goods at our cost (excluding the cost of postage), unless this would not be possible or would be disproportionately costly in the circumstances, in which case we will refund to you the amount paid by you for the goods in question.
We will notify you of your refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund for defective goods.
We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.
