Clan Crest Silver

You can find detailed information regarding our terms and conditions below however here are the main points:

• We will normally send your order to you in 4 - 6 working weeks, however, as you will see from comments from customers on our Testimonials page, we make every effort to get items to you sooner if needed for a particular date or occasion. As all our pieces are made to order and as the larger crests (1 inch plus) are sent to the Assay Office for hallmarking, there is a limit to how fast we can turn orders around but we are always happy to go the extra mile if at all possible.
• All items are shipped via Royal Mail Special Delivery (UK) or International Tracked & Signed to ensure safe and reliable delivery. If an order did go missing, there are tracking numbers to trace its whereabouts. The package is also insured.
• Please note that items sent to countries outwith the UK can attract local taxes and customs charges upon delivery. These are outwith our control and we are not responsible for them.

 

In dealing with customers who order one-off commissions, there tends to be a lot of discussion prior to completion of the piece, so a relationship is built up with the customer in question.  All the terms and conditions that apply to the on-line store pieces apply to commission customers also.

Hope this gives you the utmost confidence in ordering from us but if you have any other questions just contact us.

No exchanges can be made at a later time for goods claiming to be damaged during carriage without notification at the time of reception.

As with any shipment, a delay or loss of goods is possible. In such a case, the carrier shall start an investigation. Every effort is made, for as long as necessary, to find the package.

Force Majeure

Neither party will be deemed to be in breach of any of its obligations under the agreement as a result of any delay in performing or any failure to perform any such obligations by reason of any cause or event beyond the parties' control. A force majeure event includes, but is not limited to, any unforeseeable, inevitable, or unstoppable act, event, non-happening, omission or accident beyond the control of either party, despite all reasonable efforts made to the contrary. In addition to events usually recognized by the British courts, a force majeure event includes in particular (without limitation) the following: Strike, lock-out, earthquake, fire, storm, flood, lightning, explosion, impossibility of the use of public or private telecommunications networks.

In such circumstances, the party delayed or unable to perform ("Delayed Party") shall notify the other party ("Affected Party") within ten (10) business days following the date such events become known.

Unless prevented due to force majeure, both parties will meet within three months to examine the impact of the event and agree to the conditions under which the contract shall be continued. If the force majeure lasts longer than one (1) month, this agreement may be terminated by the injured party.

Partial Invalidity

These terms and conditions remain valid and in force, even if one or more clauses are invalid or declared so under any law, regulation or following the final decision of a competent court.

Non-Waiver
