Terms

Thank you for using our Salamandar Gifts website. Please read our terms and conditions of service that govern your use of this site and the service we offer.

If you have any further questions, please contact or write to:

Salamandar Gifts, 24b Hart Shopping Centre, Fleet, Hampshire GU52 3LA

Contract of Sale

The advertising of products on the site is the way in which we are able to display all the items available to buy through the site. We aim to keep items in stock at all times but due to the very nature of our product range being imported or hand-made means that it is inevitable there will be breaks in supply in which case some lines will show ‘Not Available’.

It should not be possible to order any item that is not in stock. You can only place items in your basket that are currently in stock meaning that you can shop with confidence that the items that you have chosen will be with you within a few days.

However, on rare occasions, stock levels may be incorrect and you will be contacted. That means your order is an offer, not a contract of sale between you and Salamandar Gifts, so prices and stock availability won’t be contractually confirmed until you receive the ‘confirmation of despatch’ email sent once your order has been successfully picked and we can confirm stock levels have been checked.

These terms and conditions cannot be varied except by changes made by Salamandar Gifts on the site, which we may make from time to time. In particular, nothing said by any representative of Salamandar Gifts will operate as a variation to these terms and conditions or constitutes a legal representation on behalf of either of them.

Sale Items – From time to time Salamandar Gifts will have items on sale. All the regular terms and conditions also apply to sale items. Discount codes that may have been advertised in various publications are not applicable in this circumstance.

 Quality

Please be aware that whilst we take great care to accurately describe the items shown on our website, a lot of the items are hand made and as such their composition and colour may vary slightly from that shown and are usually in some way unique.  Most items are described using size/length and accurate colour options.

However we are aware that colours and images vary slightly according to the monitor they are viewed on. Also there may be occasional discrepancies in the sizing of items due to human error. We would be happy for you to inform us if you do come across any such item.

We will do everything possible to ensure that you can be confident of making a secure, risk-free purchase from us but in the unlikely event that you are unhappy in any way with our service or products, please contact us immediately and we will attempt to put things right or arrange for a return. See Returns below.
