Terms and Conditions for the Supply of Goods through the website Cassandragoad.com. This service is operated by Cassandra Goad (“Cassandra Goad” and “cassandragoad.com” each separately and together in this Agreement, "we", "us" or "our").These Terms and Conditions shall apply to all contracts entered into by Cassandra Goad (“we” or “us”) whose registered office is at Hanover House, 13 Victoria Road, Darligton, County Durham DL1 5SF. By placing your order with us you are accepting these Terms and Conditions whether as a guest or a registered user. Where you do not accept these Terms and Conditions in full, you do not have permission to access the contents of this website and should cease using it immediately.

Access to our site is permitted on a temporary basis, and we reserve the right to withdraw or amend the service we provide on our site without notice. We will not be liable if, for any reason, our site is unavailable at any time or for any period. We may revise these terms of use at any time by amending this page. You agree that it is your responsibility to monitor changes to our site

 

1. TERMS OF SALE

Our acceptance of your order brings into existence a legally binding contract between us. Only adults (persons aged 18 and over) are entitled to enter into legally binding contracts and as a result are the only people entitled to transact through this site. Any other individuals who are unable to perform legally binding contracts are prohibited from ordering goods using this site. If you do not qualify do not use this site.

After placing an order through the site, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an email that confirms that the Product has been dispatched (“Dispatch Confirmation”). This process also applies where orders are placed by telephone or other Distance Sales. The contract between us (“Contract”) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation or the order is otherwise dispatched.

 

2. PAYMENTS & PRICING

2.1 The prices payable for goods that you order are as set out in our website. 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.

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 at the correct price, or reject your order and notify you that we are rejecting it.
If the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by the average customer as an error, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price even where we have provided a dispatch confirmation.

Payment for all online Products can be made by either credit/debit card or by bank transfer. If you are paying by credit/debit card, we will obtain pre-authorisation from your issuing bank/credit company to apply the debit against your card and we will charge your credit or debit card. If the Product is not available, we will credit monies taken back to the card account from which they came.

If you are paying by bank transfer we will confirm receipt of payment with you once your funds have arrived in our bank account. We will then contact you to arrange shipment of the Product. If the Product is not available, we will return monies taken to the bank account from which they came.

The price of items for sale is determined either by the country from which you are accessing the site or the country in which you have selected to deliver an order to. See table below for a full list of countries we ship to and their assigned currency:
