Your Order

You may only order our Products if you are domiciled in the United Kingdom, over the age of 18 years and otherwise legally able to contract.

The Price is that published on our Website at the time you place your Order. We try to ensure the Prices of Products are accurate. Although Prices will change from time to time, this will not affect your Order if we have confirmed it with an Order confirmation.

All Prices are inclusive of any VAT chargeable at the rate then current. You will not be affected by any changes in the rate of VAT between your Order and date of delivery if you have paid in full before the relevant change in VAT; if not, the VAT you pay will be amended accordingly.

Delivery charges are in addition to the Price and are added before you submit payment to us. These are currently £6.00 for UK orders, free for items being collected.

Payment may be made by Paypal only. Clockface Beauty t/a Sarah J Thomas Bakes & Sarah J Thomas Lifestyle may change the methods of payment and cards acceptable from time to time.

Your Order requires prior bank authorisation before it can be processed and delivered. Your billing name must be the same as that of the credit card you use. The billing address must be within the United Kingdom or we will not be able to deal with your Order.

The method of placing your Orders has been designed to be very straightforward. You should check your Order carefully and before placing it you will have the opportunity to check it for any mistakes.

Orders are paid by selecting the Products you would like to purchase and adding them to your cart. You can repeat this for more than one product by clicking on “add to your cart”.

For Postal Boxes you must have only FOUR individual bakes in your order to enable check out.

Once we have the information relating to the Products and the delivery requirements, you need to choose the method of payment. At that stage, you may place the Order by clicking “pay now”.

It is your responsibility to ensure that the Order is accurate and that you have entered a complete and correct delivery address.

Once an Order has been placed, we are not able to add it or combine it with any other Orders. The only change we can accept is the correction of spelling mistakes in the delivery address or cancellation provided the Order has not been dispatched. Any lost or delayed items as a result of an inaccurate or incomplete delivery address in your Order are your responsibility. Once you click the “pay now” button, you are confirming that your payment details are accurate and the payment method is valid. You are also confirming that when your Order is accepted and we process it, payment will be made in full. In placing the Order, you also confirm that you are the person referred to in the billing details.

We will send you an Order confirmation within one working day of receipt of your Order. A contract will be made between us for the sale and purchase of the Products only upon your receipt of our Order confirmation.

If we cannot supply with the product, which could be for a number of reasons, we will inform you of this by email and we will not process your order. If you have already paid we will refund you the full amount within 14 days. Examples would be where there is an error in the price on the website, the product is not available or authorisation has not been provided for your payment.

We also reserve the right entirely at our discretion to cancel or reduce the quantity of any order and the Products to be provided. In that case, you will only be liable to pay for those Products delivered.

Delivery

Unless there an event outside our control which is dealt with at paragraph 14, your Order will be sent within the estimated delivery period on our Order confirmation.
