We will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an email that confirms that the Product has been dispatched (Dispatch Confirmation). The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.

4.2. The Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.

5. Consumer cancellation rights

You will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in clause 9 below). Your statutory right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation (when the Contract between us is formed). If the Products have been delivered to you, you may cancel at any time within seven working days, starting from the day after you receive the Products. For the purposes of these terms and conditions, “working day” means a day (other than a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday) when banks in London are open for business.

5.2. To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing. If the Products have been delivered to you, you must also return the Products to us as soon as reasonably practicable, and at your own cost. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession.

6.2. We will process your order on the next working day after the day we receive it. Your order will be shipped to addresses in England, Wales and Scotland within 2 working days of the date of the Dispatch Confirmation unless there are exceptional circumstances and usually takes between 2-4 working days. Orders will be delivered on working days. Delivery charges are £2.99 per order and for orders with a value of £30 or over, delivery is free.

7. Risk and title

8.2. Product prices include VAT. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.

8.3. Product prices and delivery charges are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.

8.4. Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you that we are rejecting it.

8.5. If the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably recognised by you as an error, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.

8.6. Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card. We will charge your credit or debit card before we dispatch your order. We accept all major credit cards except American Express.

9. Our refunds policy
9.1. If you return a Product to us:

(a) if you are contracting as a consumer, because you have cancelled the Contract between us within the seven-day cooling-off period (see clause 5.1 above), we will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day on which you gave us notice of cancellation. In this case, we will refund the price of the Product in full, and any applicable delivery charges. However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us.

(b) for any other reason (for instance, because you have notified us in accordance with clause 19 that you do not agree to a change in these terms and conditions or in any of our policies, or because you consider that the Product is defective), we will examine the returned Product and will notify you of your refund via email 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 email that you were entitled to a refund. We will refund the price of a defective Product in full, any applicable delivery charges and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.

10. Warranty
We warrant to you that any Product purchased from us through our site will, on delivery, conform with its description, be of satisfactory quality, and be reasonably fit for all the purposes for which products of that kind are commonly supplied. William Morris At Home has made every effort to reproduce colours on our site as accurately as possible. However, different computers and video display terminals reproduce colours in slightly different ways, and so exact colour matches are not yet possible over the Internet. This means that when you order Products from our site, colours may differ from what you see on the screen. For this reason, we cannot guarantee that the Products or the packaging will be exactly as you see it.

11. Our liability to a consumer

11.2. We only supply the Product for domestic and private use. You agree not to use the product for any commercial, business or re-sale purposes, and we have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

(a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence;

(e) defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987; and
(f) any other matter for which it would be illegal for us to exclude or attempt to exclude our liability.
