By ordering any of our Products you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.  Please read these terms and conditions carefully before you submit your order to us.

2. About us

2.1 We are Milldred Ltd, a company registered in England under number 05973584 with our registered office at Milldred, 101 Herbert Gardens, London NW10 3BH.

2.2 You can contact us by writing to us at hello@milldred.com.

3. Making an Order Contract with us

3.1 By placing an order through our site, you warrant that you are legally capable of entering into binding Order Contracts.

3.2 If we have to contact you, we will do so by using the telephone number, email address or postal address you provided to us in your order.

4. How the Order Contract is formed between you and us

4.1 After placing an order, 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 an email to confirm that the Product has been dispatched. The Order Contract between us will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation email (the Order Contract).  We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when it has been accepted.  

4.2 If we cannot accept your order, we will inform you of this by email and will not charge you for the Product.

4.3 The Order Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.

5. Consumer rights

5.1 You may cancel an Order Contract at any time within 7 days, beginning on the day you receive the Products ("Cooling off Period"). You will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products subject to clause 10 below.

5.2 To cancel an Order Contract, you must inform us in writing. You must also return the Products to us in the same condition in which you received them within 7 days of receipt of the Products, and at your own cost and risk. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation or to make deductions to any amount of refund which we may pay to you.  

6. Availability and deliverability

6.1 Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 30 days of the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.  

6.2 If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control (see clause 7 below) then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the Order Contract and receive a refund for any Products you have paid for but not received.

6.3 We may have to suspend the supply of a product to deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes; update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; or make changes to the product, either as requested by you or as notified by us to you.

6.4 We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the Product, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we have to suspend the Product for longer than [8 weeks] we will adjust the price so that you do not pay for Products while they are suspended. You may contact us to end the Order Contract for a Product if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the Product in respect of the period after you end the Order Contract.

7. Force Majeure

7.1 We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under an Order Contract that is caused by events outside our reasonable control (Force Majeure Event).

7.2 A Force Majeure Event includes any act, event, non-happening, omission, or accident beyond our reasonable control.

Our performance under any Order Contract is deemed to be suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues, and we will have an extension of time for performance for the duration of that period. We will use our reasonable endeavours to bring the Force Majeure Event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under the Order Contract may be performed despite the Force Majeure Event.

8. Risk and title

8.1 Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when you have successfully received them.  

8.2 We must receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges before the Products can be dispatched. 

9. Price and payment

9.1 The price of the Products and our delivery charges will be as quoted on our site, except in cases of obvious error.

9.2 Product prices and delivery charges are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect any orders for which we have already sent a Dispatch Confirmation.

We will refund the price of the Product in full, and any applicable delivery charges. You will be responsible for covering the cost of returning the Product. Our customer service team will be happy to advise on secure shipping practice and couriers. Please contact hello@milldred.com for assistance.  We reserve our rights to reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which has caused damage or left the Product in an unsaleable state.  If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the Product and later discover you have handled such Products in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount to reflect any damage caused;

(b) for any other reason (including but not limited to, because you have notified us that you do not agree to a change in these terms and conditions or in any of our policies, or because you consider that the Product is defective), we will examine the returned Product and will notify you of your refund via email within a reasonable period of time. We reserve our rights to reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which has caused damage or left the Product in an unsaleable state.  We will process the refund due to you within 14 days of the day we confirmed that you were entitled to a refund. We will refund the price of any Product which, after examination, is deemed by us in our sole discretion to have been defective at the time of sale, in full and any applicable delivery charges.
