Terms of service

Absolutely. I would replace the old Terms & Conditions with this version. I've kept it appropriate for a small UK online retailer and made it consistent with the 30-day returns policy and shipping policy we've just put in place.

Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions apply to your use of the Amara Lane Garden & Home website and to purchases made through our online store.

Please read them carefully before placing an order.

Company number: 17400817
Registered in: England and Wales
Registered office: 17 Weavers Close, Dursley, Gloucestershire, GL11 4LR, United Kingdom

Throughout these terms, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to AMARA LANE LTD trading as Amara Lane Garden & Home.

2. Our Website

We aim to ensure that the information on our website is accurate and up to date. We may update, change or remove website content, products or services from time to time.

We cannot guarantee that the website will always be available without interruption or that it will be completely free from errors or technical issues.

You must not misuse our website, attempt to gain unauthorised access to it, introduce malicious software or use the website for any unlawful purpose.

3. Products

We take reasonable care to describe and display our products accurately.

Product colours and appearance may vary slightly from photographs due to lighting, photography and differences between screens and devices. As many of our garden and natural-material products may have variations in colour, finish or texture, minor variations may also occur between individual items.

Product dimensions are approximate unless stated otherwise.

Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights where goods are faulty, not as described or otherwise fail to meet the requirements of applicable consumer law.

4. Prices

Prices displayed on our website are shown in pounds sterling (GBP).

Delivery charges, where applicable, are shown during checkout before you complete your order.

We may change our prices at any time, but a price change will not affect an order that we have already accepted.

If we discover an obvious pricing error after you place an order, we will contact you before accepting or fulfilling the affected order.

5. Placing an Order

When you place an order through our website, you are making an offer to purchase the products in your order.

You will normally receive an email acknowledging that we have received your order. This acknowledgement does not necessarily mean that we have accepted the order.

A contract between you and us is formed when we accept your order and begin processing it for dispatch.

We reserve the right to decline or cancel an order where reasonably necessary, for example if a product is unavailable, there has been an obvious pricing or product-information error, payment cannot be authorised, or we reasonably suspect fraudulent or unlawful activity.

If we cancel an order after payment has been taken, we will refund the relevant amount.

6. Payment

Payment must be made using one of the payment methods offered at checkout.

Available payment methods may include major debit and credit cards and other payment services made available through our website, such as PayPal, Shop Pay, Apple Pay or Google Pay where available.

Payment options may change from time to time.

7. Delivery

We aim to dispatch orders promptly and within the times indicated on our website.

Delivery dates and times are estimates unless we expressly confirm that a particular service is guaranteed.

Occasionally delivery may be affected by circumstances outside our reasonable control. If your order is significantly delayed or appears to have been lost in transit, please contact us and we will investigate.

Full information about our delivery services, charges and dispatch times can be found in our Shipping Policy.

8. Cancellation and Returns

We offer a 30-day returns policy for eligible products.

UK consumers purchasing online also have statutory cancellation rights for most goods. These rights are separate from, and are not reduced by, our voluntary 30-day returns policy.

For change-of-mind returns, customers are responsible for the cost of returning the goods to us unless we agree otherwise.

Different arrangements apply where goods are faulty, damaged, incorrect or not as described.

Please see our Returns & Refunds Policy for full information about requesting a return, cancellation rights, exceptions and refunds.

Nothing in these terms or our Returns & Refunds Policy affects your statutory rights.

9. Faulty, Damaged or Incorrect Goods

If an item arrives damaged, is faulty, is not as described or you receive the wrong item, please contact us at info@amaralane.co.uk with your order details.

Photographs may help us investigate and resolve the problem quickly.

We will deal with faulty or misdescribed goods in accordance with your statutory rights.

10. Refunds

Where a refund is due, it will normally be made to the original payment method.

Processing times after we issue a refund can vary depending on your bank or payment provider.

Further information is available in our Returns & Refunds Policy.

11. Your Responsibilities

You are responsible for providing accurate information when placing an order, including your contact and delivery details.

Products should be used for their intended purpose and in accordance with any instructions, warnings or care information supplied with them.

12. Our Responsibility to You

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful for us to do so.

Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

We are responsible for losses that are a foreseeable result of our breach of these terms or our failure to use reasonable care and skill.

We are not responsible for losses that were not reasonably foreseeable when the contract was formed.

Products sold through our consumer website are supplied for private and domestic use unless otherwise agreed. We are not responsible for business losses arising from consumer purchases, such as loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption or loss of business opportunity, to the extent permitted by law.

13. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the content of this website, including text, branding, logos, graphics, photographs and other material owned by us, is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may use the website for your personal, non-commercial use. You must not reproduce, distribute or commercially exploit our content without permission, except where permitted by law.

Third-party trademarks, images or other material remain the property of their respective owners.

14. Third-Party Services and Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or use third-party services, including payment and delivery providers.

We are not responsible for the content or operation of independent third-party websites. Their own terms and privacy policies may apply when you use their services.

15. Privacy

We process personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Please read our Privacy Policy for information about how we collect, use and protect personal information.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time, for example to reflect changes to our business, website or applicable law.

The terms applying to an order will be those in effect when the order is placed.

17. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

If you are a consumer living elsewhere in the United Kingdom, you will retain any mandatory protections available to you under the laws applicable to you.

Nothing in these terms restricts any rights you may have regarding where legal proceedings can be brought under applicable consumer law.
