5. e) we will do our best to arrange delivery of your goods within a reasonable time of ordering and the ship date as set out in the shipping confirmation email, but please note that all tracking information is provided to us by our delivery service provider and are estimates of delivery only.

PART B – BUYING GOODS

This PART B sets out the terms that apply to your purchase of goods from the Site.

1. Placing your Order

1.1. Once you have selected the goods which you would like, you will be asked to register your personal details with us by completing a registration form. Registration is not required; however, we encourage registration in order to facilitate the checkout process during future orders on the Site. You always have the option to complete your order as a “guest” without registering on the Site. You will also be asked to provide details about your debit or credit card in order to allow us to take payment for those products that have been ordered. Where we use a third-party card authorization service to verify that your details are correct and to administer payment on our behalf, your personal details, including your credit card details, will be transferred to such third party and you specifically consent to your data being transferred for such purposes. When you place an order for goods via the Site, your order constitutes an offer to purchase goods from us. Where you order more than one item, your order comprises a series of offers for each item individually.

1.2. After placing an order with us, you will access an order confirmation webpage and receive an order confirmation email (together the “Order Confirmations”). The Order Confirmations set out the final details of the order which you have submitted to the Site. Please take care when placing your order, as you will be unable to add to or amend your order after we send the Order Confirmations.

1.3. The Order Confirmations contain details of the goods you have ordered, the total cost of the order including delivery and an order number. Once your order has been shipped, we will send you a shipping confirmation email and an invoice email (as described in paragraph 2.1 below). The invoice email constitutes the VAT receipt for your goods. You should print off a copy of the invoice email together with a copy of these Terms of Sale and the Additional Policies and keep them safe. You will need to refer to these details when contacting us about your order.

2. Order Acceptance

2.1. All orders are subject to acceptance by us. Except as set out in paragraph 2.2 of this Part B below, we will confirm acceptance to you by sending you an email that confirms that the goods ordered by you have been dispatched (the “Shipping Confirmation”). The contract between you and us, which shall incorporate these Terms of Sale, will be formed only when we issue the Shipping Confirmation to you. The contract will relate only to those goods whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Shipping Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other goods which may have been part of your order, until the dispatch of such goods has been confirmed in a separate Shipping Confirmation.

2.2. In the case of goods that are made to order (such as custom sunglasses) acceptance of your order takes place at the point at which we send out our Order Confirmations. Please be aware that different cancellation rights apply to goods that are made to order, see section 5 and our Returns Policy for more details.

2.3. Although we hope to be able to supply all goods ordered, we reserve the right, at our discretion and without the need to give reasons, not to accept any offer at any time before it has been accepted. Should we refuse your order we will notify you as soon as reasonably possible.

3. Payment

3.1. We will take payment from your credit or debit card at the time your order is shipped. You will receive an email or post mail detailing what items have shipped from your order and the cost to ship these items (the “Invoice Email”). If your order is split into multiple shipments, we will charge you only for the items actually shipped at that time. The Invoice Email will include information of the items actually shipped at that time only. We will contact you if we have any problems taking payment from the card details you provide during the order process.

3.2. Unless otherwise stated, all prices shown on the Site are inclusive of VAT and/or other applicable taxes. The prices shown do not include the delivery fee, which will be added to your total order price in accordance with our delivery guidelines.

3.3. Except where otherwise set out in these Terms of Sale, the price payable by you for the goods is the price given by the Site at the time you place your order.

4. Pricing Errors

4.1. Whilst we try to ensure that all the prices on the Site are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of the goods you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as reasonably possible. You will then be given the option of re-confirming your order at the correct price or cancelling your order.

4.2. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you by email.

4.3. If you decide to cancel your order after we have informed you of a pricing error and you have already paid for the goods, we will give you a full refund as soon as reasonably possible (and in any event within thirty (30) days of cancellation).

4.4. The Order Confirmations will include general information about your order but will not include a delivery date for your goods.

4.5. We will then send you a separate Shipping Confirmation email. The Shipping Confirmation email will include a tracking number that you may use to track your order on our delivery service provider's website and obtain an estimated delivery date.

4.6. Delivery will take place at the delivery address specified by you during the order process, and will be subject to the following conditions:

1. a) the delivery address specified for delivery must be within our pre-defined delivery areas, as listed below. We do not deliver to P.O. boxes.
2. b) although we allow you to specify a different delivery address from your billing address, you are solely responsible for ensuring that we are able to make delivery to this address and that you are available to accept delivery at this address on the delivery date.
3. c) if delivery cannot be made due to the nature of the premises, because there is insufficient access or for any reason that is not within our reasonable control (including your absence at the time of delivery), you agree to pay our reasonable additional fees for storage and redelivery, including an administration fee for re-arranging delivery. We will inform you of the cost of these fees as soon as reasonably practicable, and you will have the option of reconfirming your order including the additional fees, or cancelling your order (except in the case of made to order goods, which cannot be cancelled after the Order Confirmations have been sent). If you cancel your order, we will refund the purchase price of the goods, but you agree that we may retain your original delivery fee in compensation for the time and expenses incurred for the failed delivery; and
4. d) once the goods have been delivered to you, you become the owner of those goods and from that point they will be at your risk. This means you will be liable for any subsequent damage, loss or destruction.
5. e) We ship to all the emirates of UAE only

4.7. Where delivery is being made by parcel courier, delivery will be made only to the point of entry of the delivery address.

4.8. On delivery you will be required to check the condition of the packaging and whether the correct number of packages have been delivered. Missing items will be re-ordered, and damaged/incorrect items will be returned and, subject to these Terms of Sale, replaced and delivered free of charge. You must let us know about any damaged, missing and/or incorrect goods after you have received the goods.

 

PART C – CANCELLING YOUR ORDER AND RETURNING GOODS
