3.1 The agreement for the order and purchase of Products will be between you and the relevant Seller. The Purchase Agreement between you and the Seller shall comprise of the terms in this clause 3, the terms on the Website in relation to the Products (including price, description and any other terms specific to those Products) and any terms agreed between you and the Seller in relation to shipping and delivery.
Payment and prices
3.2 At the time you place an order for Products you must give authority for payment. We will take credit or debit card details and will take payment from you once the Seller has accepted the order and the order details have been confirmed to you.
3.3 Your order is an offer to buy from the Seller. There will be no contract between you and the Seller until the order is accepted by the Seller and payment is taken from you.
3.4 All prices are expressed exclusive of any VAT payable and delivery costs unless otherwise stated. The total price payable will be clearly stated before you place your order.
3.5 You will be charged in pounds sterling (£) and if you are paying from a bank account or with a card in a different currency you will bear the cost and risk of the exchange rate that your bank or card provider applies. Prices displayed in currencies other than Pounds sterling are for information purposes only and the ultimate price you pay may be affected by the exchange rate and fees your bank or card providers apply. We strongly recommend that you check with your bank or card provider the rates and fees that will apply before making an order.
3.6 Payment for Products may be made by such credit or debit cards or other payment methods as may be advertised on the Website from time to time. By using a credit or debit card you are confirming that you are authorised to use the card to make payment. The Seller reserves the right to cancel your order or refuse to dispatch Products to you if your card issuer carries out checks and fails to make payment to the Seller or [Alfinity].
3.7 The prices payable for the Products that you order are clearly set out on the Website and the Seller makes every effort to ensure these prices are accurate. If, by mistake, the Products have been under-priced we or the Seller will attempt to contact you to ask if you wish to reconfirm your order at the correct price but the Seller will not be liable to supply those Products to you at the incorrectly stated price in any circumstances. If you do not wish to reconfirm your order at the correct price, your order will be cancelled and you will be refunded in full if you have already paid.
3.8 Payment may be made using [Alfinity] gift vouchers (if available) and the Seller shall honour all orders where payment is in the form of [Alfinity] gift vouchers.
3.9 By purchasing a month to month subscription, you acknowledge that your subscription has an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation. Your subscription will be automatically extended for successive monthly periods, at the original subscription rate. Your credit card will be charged on the 1st of every calendar month. Any cancellations need to be done prior to 5pm 14 days prior to the 1st of each month to prevent the charge for that month. To cancel your subscription at any time, you must logon to your account or email us at myorders@harleystreetemporium.com and we will do it for you.
3.10 For multiple month subscriptions (6 month and yearly subscriptions), your subscription will automatically renew after your then-current term expires. You may choose to opt out of auto renewal at any time with two weeks notice to myorders@harleystreetemporium.com. Gift subscriptions do not automatically renew. If you cancel your multiple month subscription other than as a result of a material breach by Harley Street Emporium of these Terms, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period.
The above cancellation rights do not affect your right to cancel under the statutory cooling-off period from two weeks of your initial subscription date. If your first order has been sent, however, you will be charged for that order.
Availability
3.11 The Seller will use their reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Website lists where the Seller is low on stock or out of stock in respect of particular Products but will not accept an order where the Products are no longer available.
3.12 If the Seller is unable to fulfil an order then they will contact you and offer you the option of either (i) cancelling the order (ii) selecting alternative Products or (iii) proceeding with the order and accepting delivery of the Products when they are available again.
3.13 Please note that some Products may be subject to lead times.
3.14 If the Seller is unable to supply particular Products for any reason it will ensure that you are not charged for those Products.

You will then need to return the product in person, post it back to us or (if they are not suitable for posting or we notify you that this our preferred option) allow us to collect them from you. We will pay the costs of postage or collection.
Customs
3.22 If you are ordering Products for delivery from another country you may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once the Products reach your delivery destination. Any such import duties, taxes and additional charges for customs clearance are your responsibility and you must pay them where applicable. Any indication on the Website of any taxes or charges that may be payable is for information purposes only and the Seller strongly recommends that you contact your local customs office for further information as each country has its own customs policies and regulations.
3.23 You are considered the importer of record when you order Products from the Seller. You are responsible for ensuring that you comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which you are receiving the Products. Please be aware that cross-border deliveries are subject to inspection by customs authorities and may be opened before reaching you.
- Sellers
4.1 We are not responsible in any way whatsoever for providing you with the Products. We act as a platform for the Seller and by placing an order which is accepted by the Seller you are entering an agreement with the Seller under which the Seller is bound to supply you with the Products subject always to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
4.2 We make great efforts to ensure that the Sellers listing Products on the Website are of a high standard but we accept no responsibility and will have no liability to you if the Products do not meet your requirements or you find them unsatisfactory in some way and your right of action or claim will be against the Seller.

5.1 We may offer gift vouchers for purchase through the Website. We will take payment using your credit or debit card details at the time you purchase them and in return you will be provided with a voucher code that may be redeemed in exchange for Products available on the Website.

Such a Booking request will be forwarded to the Seller as soon as possible.

We act as a platform for listing a Seller’s services only and have no liability to you in relation to the Booking (nor in relation to the consultancy and advisory services to which such Booking relates) other than as set out in this Agreement.
6.4 If you have any questions in relation to the Seller’s services or a Booking you will need to raise these with the Seller directly.
