Terms & Conditions

Handmade Products

All our glassware and jewellery is made by hand in our studios in Bath, when purchasing customers must understand that due to the nature of the craft involved, variations will occur in size, shape, colour and pattern.  Images and sizes provided are for guidance only but will be adhered to as closely as possible.

Payment

Items ordered online must be paid for in full at time of ordering, payment is accepted by credit / debit card or via PayPal through our secure checkout process. We can accept payment by personal cheque, or in person by cash (we never recommend cash to be sent through the post) but orders paid for in this way will need to be placed via phone, or email, or in person and full payment received and cleared before postage of goods.

Your card payment will be processed in GBP Sterling and your receipt will show GBP Sterling prices.  If your card is held in a different currency, your card issuer will charge you the Currency Exchange Rate in use for that day and this will be shown on your monthly statement.  Please note that any refund will be made in GBP and your card issuer will refund you using the Exchange Rate that is in use for that day and this could be different to the original rate you were charged when making your payment.  Your card issuer may also levy a currency conversion charge and/or a transaction fee, and this may not be reversed in the event of any refund or order cancellation.  This means that your refund could be slightly more or less than you have originally paid and we will not be responsible for this difference.

Sales items non-refundable.  We will endeavour to exchange for a suitable alternative or offer store credit.  This does not affect your statutory rights.

 

Discount Codes

Discount Codes do not apply on the purchase of any Memorial Glass products, Sale items, Factory Seconds or Gift Vouchers.  Discount codes are for online use only.

If you forget to add a discount code to the checkout box whilst placing your order, unfortunately the discount cannot be applied retrospectively after making payment.

Within the UK, goods will be sent via Courier or Royal Mail Delivery which will require a signature on receipt, depending which options you have chosen.  Please allow time for checking, packing and dispatch, especially during busy periods, such as the run-up to Christmas.
