2.2 Once the Products are ordered, you will:
i)
if ordered via the Website, receive an automatic acknowledgement of the order;
ii)
for Bespoke Products and/or Services, a specification will be agreed and confirmed between CHRISANNE CLOVER and you and the CHRISANNE CLOVER representative; or
iii)
for all other orders, an acknowledgment of your order is only provided upon request by you, otherwise the order is fulfilled in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
All orders are subject to these Terms and Conditions to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions (including any terms or conditions which you purport to apply under any purchase order, confirmation of order, specification or other document). Your
order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us.
2.3
Delivery dates for Products are estimated and we will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver the Products to you by the estimated delivery date provided to you by us in accordance with the following:
i)
for Bespoke Products and/or Services, we will deliver at the agreed date in our confirmation of your order, once a specification has been agreed; or
ii)
for Standard Products, we will dispatch within seven (7) working days, but there is no guarantee of this time.
If we delay beyond our anticipated dispatch time (eg, we are out of stock), we will endeavour to contact you as soon as possible to advise you of an expected delivery date, or agree alternative options with you.
2.4 No terms or conditions endorsed upon, delivered with or contained in your purchase order, confirmation of order, specification or other document shall apply. 2.5 No variation to the order or these Terms and Conditions shall be binding unless agreed
in writing and subject to clause 5.
3. Orders and Specifications 3.1 Orders are only deemed to be accepted by CHRISANNE CLOVER when formal acceptance has been issued, such formal acceptance being either in the form of a written Order Confirmation signed by a member of staff or
in the form of Products being despatched. The contract between us will only be formed when we accept your order and will only relate to those Products whose order we have accepted.
3.2 If you wish to have Bespoke Products and/or Services provided to you, then you accept that CHRISANNE CLOVER has no liability for errors or defaults in Bespoke Products and/or Services which are caused by erroneous specifications supplied to
CHRISANNE CLOVER by you or your authorised representative. More specifically, if the Bespoke Product and/or Service that you have ordered is a dress that is being designed/created on your behalf, then if you complete the Measurement Chart available
on the Website for us to work from, then CHRISANNE CLOVER shall not be liable in respect of any problems arising as a result of incorrect measurements being provided by you.
3.3 Any specifications, measurements or designs supplied by you or any designs specifically produced by CHRISANNE CLOVER in connection with the purchase of Products together with copyright, design right or any other intellectual property rights shall
at all times vest in and remain the exclusive property of CHRISANNE CLOVER. You agree to indemnify us in respect of any losses, damages, costs or expenses that CHRISANNE CLOVER may suffer as a result of any infringement of third party intellectual
property rights or other proprietary rights, resulting from the specifications, measurements or designs supplied by you.
3.4 CHRISANNE CLOVER shall not be liable in respect of any alleged defect in the Products as a result of any specification made by you against the advice of CHRISANNE CLOVER.
4. Prices & payment 4.1 The price of the Products will be as quoted on our Website from time to time, in our printed materials (eg, catalogue) and on various signs or labels on the Products themselves or at our showroom or at exhibitions or events, except in
cases of obvious error. Alternatively, if there are additional costs in relation to the design and creation element of CHRISANNE CLOVER’s services (including but not limited to the Bespoke Products and/or Services), then such costs will be confirmed to you
prior to an order for the Products being placed with us, or at such time as any additional alterations are requested by you. The price shall be confirmed to you at the time we confirm your order and the contract between us comes into existence. CHRISANNE
CLOVER reserves the right to make any changes to the prices as necessary without notice, however such changes will be made and notified to you prior to the contract between us coming into existence. In particular, CHRISANNE CLOVER reserves the rights
to charge the correct price for Products if an incorrect price has erroneously been published in any marketing material including printed material, electronic media, and all other forms of communication. 4.2 All prices exclude VAT and despatch charges.
VAT must be added to the total amount (including carriage) of your order. This does not apply if goods are to be sent to any country outside the EU. Despatch costs are dependent upon the size, weight and destination of the parcel as well as the speed of
delivery required.
4.3 Payment to CHRISANNE CLOVER is required in advance of delivery unless specific credit arrangements are agreed in writing, in which case CHRISANNE CLOVER shall be entitled to invoice for the Products upon despatch or deemed delivery in
accordance with Clause 6. For Bespoke Products and/or Services (including dress creations), a deposit of 50% or more may be required before any work commences. Such deposit is payable at the time of confirming your order after the design appointment. Payment must be made in advance for Products, or on terms individually agreed to by us in writing. In the event that payment is not made on the due date CHRISANNE CLOVER reserves the right to: 4.3.1 withhold delivery of any further Products;
4.3.2 require advanced payment on all Products; and 4.3.3 charge interest (both before and after judgement) on the amount unpaid at the rate of 3% above the base lending rate of the HSBC Bank PLC from time to time.

in any case within fourteen (14) days of the day you have given notice of your cancellation. In this case we will refund the price of the Product in full, including the cost of sending the item to you. However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the
item to us.
4.4.2
for any other reason (for example, a Product is defective), we will examine the returned Product and will notify you of your refund within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and,

the item to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the item to us.
4.4.3

receipt of your order.

working days, beginning on the day after you receive the Products, unless the Product ordered is a Bespoke Product and/or Service and work in connection with the Bespoke Product and/or Service has commenced, in which case the right to cancel shall
cease upon commencement of any work in connection with the Bespoke Products and/or Services. 5.2 If you are entitled to cancel your contract with us in accordance with Clause 5.1, you will receive a full refund of any price paid for the Products in
accordance with our refunds policy. No refunds shall be made to a customer after the fourteen (14) working day period. 5.3 To cancel a contract in accordance with Clause 5.1, you must inform us in writing. You must also return the Product(s) to us within
