4.2 After you place an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. However, please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted.

If you have already paid for the Products, we will refund you the full amount including any delivery costs charged as soon as possible.

5. OUR RIGHT TO VARY THESE TERMS

5.1 We amend these Terms from time to time. Please look at the top of this page to see when these Terms were last updated and which Terms were changed.

5.2 Every time you order Products from us, the Terms in force at the time of your order will apply to the Contract between you and us.

5.3 We may revise these Terms as they apply to an order which you have already made if that is necessary to reflect a change in relevant laws and regulatory requirements.

5.4 If we have to revise these Terms as they apply to your order, we will contact you to give you reasonable advance notice of the changes and let you know how to cancel the order if you are not happy with the changes. You may cancel either in respect of all the affected Products or just the Products you have yet to receive. If you opt to cancel, you will have to return (at our cost) any relevant Products you have already received and we will arrange a full refund of the price you have paid, including any delivery charges.

6. YOUR CONSUMER RIGHT OF RETURN AND REFUND

This clause 6 only applies if you are a consumer and your order is completed and shipped to an address within the United Kingdom.

6.1 If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel an order under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 during the period. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep a Product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the order and receive a refund.

6.2 Except in the case where goods are received damaged (and then only in accordance with the appropriate terms and conditions) returns will not be accepted from outside the United Kingdom for any reason.

6.3 Your legal right to cancel an order starts from the date when we confirm despatch, which is when the Contract between us is formed. Your deadline for cancelling the order then depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered, as set out below:

6.4 To cancel an order, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. The easiest way to do this is to email info@theartofmint.co.uk. If you use this method we will e-mail you to confirm we have received your cancellation.
You can also contact us by any method shown in clause 1.2. If you are e-mailing us or writing to us, please include details of your order to help us to identify it. If you send us your cancellation notice by e-mail or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the e-mail or post the letter to us. For example, you will have given us notice in time if you get your letter into the last post on the last day of the cancellation period or e-mail us before midnight on that day.

You will need to cover the cost of returning your order back to us.

6.5 If you cancel your order we will:
(a) refund you the price you paid for the Products. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop.
(b) make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:

6.6 We will refund you by the same payment method used by you to pay. If you used vouchers to pay for the product we may refund you in vouchers.

6.7 If a Product has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your order:
(a) then you must return it to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the order. You can send it back to us at the address given in clause 1.2.
(b) unless the Product is faulty or not as described, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Products to us.
(c) to ensure the returned items are received back in 100 % resaleable condition, we advise using the same delivery service and packaging (where possible) used for their original despatch and items should be fully insured. 

6.8 Because you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with this Contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this clause 6 or anything else in these Terms.

6.9 Any refunds requested with a value over or equal to £500 will be processed within 30 working days from day of request.

All packaging must be retained and where possible please include photos of the damage. Our team will contact you with instructions on how the product will be returned. Failure to comply with these terms may affect your right to a refund or replacement.
