INTRODUCTION 

1.1  You will be able to access most areas of this website without registering your details with us. [Certain areas of this website are only open to you if you register.]

1.2  We may revise these terms and conditions at any time by updating this posting (see date at the top). It is your responsibility to check this website from time to time to review the current terms and conditions as each use of this website signifies your acceptance to be bound by the latest terms and conditions. Certain provisions of these terms and conditions may be superseded by expressly designated legal notices or terms located on particular pages of this website. If you do not wish to accept any new terms and conditions after we have given notice, you should not continue to use this website.

ORDERING FROM US 

2.1  There are various methods and information on how to place an order with us throughout other areas of this website. All orders placed by you via this website are subject to the latest terms and conditions.

2.2  As part of our order process you will be given the opportunity to check your order and to correct any errors. Following receipt of your order, we will send you an order acknowledgement email, detailing the products you have ordered. Please note that this email is not an order confirmation or order acceptance from Giraffe Audio.

2.3  Our acceptance of an order and the completion of a contract between you and us takes place when we despatch the order even if your payment has been processed immediately, unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or you have cancelled your order. 

2.4  We may refuse to accept an order: 

2.4.1  where goods are  no longer available;

2.4.2  where we cannot obtain authorisation for your payment or suspect fraud;

2.4.3  if there has been a pricing or product description error; or

2.4.4  if you do not meet any eligibility criteria set out in our terms and conditions.

2.5  Sales to destinations not within our list of shipping countries will only be accepted with prior arrangement with our export department and will be subject to pre-payment and a minimum export sale order value of [£250] excluding UK VAT. Email:sales@giraffeaudio.com for quotations. 

2.6  Giraffe Audio reserve the right to limit the quantity of any item sold, or prohibit a sale altogether, including but not limited to prohibiting sales to resellers. In any such event the consumer will be refunded immediately.

PRICING 

3.1  All prices are in Pounds Sterling and include all taxes (where applicable) at the current rates but do not include delivery charges. We reserve the right to express the price exclusive of VAT, but we shall show VAT separately and include it in the total price.

3.2  Where we charge separately for packing, carriage and insurance and other relevant charges, the appropriate rates are set out in our specified pricing structure shown elsewhere on this website.

3.3  Our prices are reviewed daily and while we try to ensure that all prices on our website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of goods you have ordered we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and you have already paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund.

PAYMENT 

4.1  Giraffe Audio takes payment immediately and all goods are subject to availability. In the event that we are unable to supply a product, we will inform you of this as soon as possible.

4.2  In the interests of preventing fraudulent use of credit, debit and charge cards, Giraffe Audio will validate the names, addresses and other information supplied during the order process against commercially available records (e.g Electoral Roll data, Credit Reference Services). A third party may also be instructed to complete these checks. By ordering from this website you consent to such checks being made. Any information given may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference Agency which may keep a record of the information. All information provided by you will be treated securely and strictly in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

4.3  If, using our currency selector, you have chosen to display our prices in Euros or US Dollars instead of UK Pounds; you will still be charged and invoiced in UK Pounds sterling as we do not accept foreign currency. At the point of payment, your card issuing bank will convert the amount paid in UK pounds to Euros / US Dollars using their current exchange rate. Please bear in mind our Euro / US Dollar display is a guide and that your bank exchange rate may be different to our online display and will reflect on your card statement.

5.2  Please note that non-UK shipping costs may vary depending on location and the size and weight of the goods. You will be contacted should this situation arise. If you are shipping to a country within the European Union then you may be liable for Import Duty and VAT charges. Please check with a customs office in your country for information.

CANCELLATION AND RETURNS POLICY 

6.1  All goods and services are sold in accordance with The Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 (SI 2000 No.2334). This regulation essentially ensures that the consumer is given clear information about the goods and services the supplier is offering, is provided with an order confirmation via email and has a cancellation period of 30 days from the day after the date of delivery - during which time the consumer may cancel the contract by notifying the supplier of their request to cancel either in writing or by email. 

6.2  If you wish to cancel your order during the cancellation period set out in clause 6.1, please notify us in writing by letter or email. A telephone call is not sufficient unless both you and Giraffe Audio agree otherwise. 

6.3  Once you have notified us that you wish to cancel the contract with the cancellation period, either before or after you have received the goods, you  should return the goods to us within a reasonable time period and take reasonable care in doing so. The risk and cost of returning the goods to us shall be borne by you unless you have notified us that the goods are faulty and the fault is verified by us. If you fail to return the goods to us, you must make them available for collection upon notification from us that we intend to collect the goods. 

6.4  Upon cancellation of the contract we will credit your account with a full refund of the money paid to us, including the cost of delivery of the goods to you, as soon as possible and in any event not later than 30 days after receipt of the notice of cancellation. If you do not return the goods or do not pay the costs of delivery to us, we shall be entitled to deduct the direct cost of recovering the goods from the amount of the refund. 

6.5  Goods should be returned in the original packaging, are complete and in 'as new' condition (for example, if the packaging has been opened to examine the product/s you must have done so without damaging the product/s in any way).

6.6  You have a duty to take reasonable care of  the products while in your possession and during the cancellation period to maintain them in the condition in which they were supplied by us. If goods are damaged or your use of the goods has gone beyond your right to reasonably inspect and assess the goods, Giraffe Audio reserves the right to seek recompense.

6.7  The rights to return the goods to us as referred to in clause 6.3 will not apply in the following circumstances: - 

6.7.1  in the case of copyrighted goods (all software, media and sample CDs) where the packaging has been unsealed and/or the product has been registered

6.7.2  for Health and Safety reasons to products such as microphones, headphones, earphones, in-ear monitoring devices and brass and woodwind mouthpieces that have been used or where the hygienic seal has been removed or broken and

6.7.3  to any products that we have made to your specification or customised specifically for you

6.8  If a fault should occur with your product outside the cancellation period and within the 12 month manufacturers' warranty period, you may wish to take your product to any manufacturer’s authorised repair centre (with a copy of your online receipt from us) or you may wish to return the product/s to our returns department, with a copy of your online receipt and a full written description of the fault. Our returns department can send your faulty product/s to the manufacturer or authorised service centre on your behalf. If the product is found to be faulty we will repair it free of charge and return the product/s to you. If we or the manufacturer are unable to repair your product within a reasonable period of time then we can offer you the choice of a full refund or to supply you an alternative product equivalent

[6.8.1  Christmas returns policy. If you change your mind, that’s not a problem. For purchases made between thirty days before Christmas, you can return your product unopened in its original and undamaged packaging up to forty five days after Christmas and we’ll give you an exchange or full refund provided you have your receipt. No questions asked. Standard returns policy is 14 days.]
