Our Terms & Conditions

We wish to ensure your complete satisfaction with both our products and services – please contact us if you have any problems; we will do what we can to help.

The following terms and conditions form the basis on which you can visit and use our website and purchase products and services from it. Please read them carefully as they contain important information.

General terms and conditions

ChineseLanterns.co.uk is owned and operated by The Glow Company UK Limited of Unit 3 Faraday Close Harworth Doncaster DN11 8RU. If you want to ask us anything about these terms and conditions or if you have any comments or complaints on or about our website, please e-mail us using our contact us form or telephone us on 0345 505 90 90.

Privacy policy

We will treat all information we collect from you under the terms of our privacy policy. This policy governs how we use the information we collect from you as you use our website and when you place an order.

Prices

This website displays prices on product pages inclusive of VAT at the current prevailing rate. Prices in your online shopping basket are displayed without VAT and the total with VAT added appears below.

We do our best to keep our prices up to date, however sometimes mistakes can occur. If we find a mistake in the pricing on your order, we will contact you and advise you of the correct pricing. We will give you the option to cancel your order or continue at the new price. You may be asked to make an additional payment for the difference in pricing.

All prices are in British Pounds (GBP) and all payments and refunds are conducted in this currency. If you place an order from an account denominated in another currency, you will be charged an exchange rate from your currency to GBP by your bank or credit provider and may also be charged a conversion fee. We will not be responsible for any losses as a result of currency exchange charges or exchange rate fluctuations.

Availability of stock

The website provides illustrations of stock availability for most products which, although usually very accurate, is intended as a guide and does not guarantee stock availability for your order.

While every effort is made to keep stock availability information as accurate as possible, all items you order are subject to availability. We will check the stock of all the products ordered as we process your order and we will inform you as soon as possible if any goods are not available.

When we are expecting stock of one or more items on your order soon, we may part-dispatch the goods that are currently available, marking the remaining goods on your order ‘to follow’. When this happens, you will not be charged an additional delivery charge for the remaining goods on your order and we will dispatch them to you separately as soon as stock is available. Goods marked ‘to follow’ are usually dispatched within 7 working days. We will contact you if there are any exceptional delays to goods marked ‘to follow’ and you will have the option to cancel your order of the remaining products.

Ordering errors

You are able to correct any errors on your order up to the point on which you enter your payment details and click on “make payment” or “submit” during the ordering process. We will send an e-mail confirmation of the details of your order to the e-mail address you give us. If any of the details appear incorrect on your order, please contact us immediately to correct them.

Payment terms

We will charge your credit/debit card or paypal account for full payment when you place your order. If it is not possible to obtain full payment for the goods from your account then we may cancel the contract and or suspend any further deliveries to you.

We operate strict anti-fraud measures and occasionally we may need to contact you to confirm some details of your order as a part of our fraud checks. If we suspect that an order may be fraudulent or if we are unable to complete our checks to our satisfaction, we may cancel your order and refund you in full without notice.

In the unlikely event that someone uses your card fraudulently on our website, you will receive full reimbursement; you may be required to provide evidence that a transaction is fraudulent.

Delivery

Please note that, except by special arrangement, we are only able to deliver to addresses within the United Kingdom and selected European countries. Please refer to our delivery information page for an up-to-date list of locations to which we can deliver.

We will attempt to deliver all the goods on your order within 30 days. If this is not possible, we will make every attempt to contact you using the information you provide to us on your order. We accept no liability if a delivery is delayed because you did not give us the correct contact, delivery or payment details.

We will deliver the goods to the address you specify for delivery in your order. It is important that this address is accurate. Please be precise about where you would like the goods left if you are out when we deliver. We cannot accept any liability for any loss or damage to the goods once they have been delivered in accordance with your delivery instructions. We will aim to deliver the goods by the date quoted for delivery but delivery times are not guaranteed. If delivery is delayed due to any cause beyond our reasonable control, the delivery date will be extended by a reasonable period and we will contact you to arrange an alternative time. Delivery charges vary according to the type of goods ordered and your delivery address. Please refer to the delivery information page for full details of charges, timescales etc.

We will usually deliver all items in a single delivery, when this isn't the case we'll mark any items that are being delivered separately as 'to follow' on your delivery paperwork. If you think any items are missing from your delivery, please contact us as soon as possible and within 14 days of the delivery.

Risk and ownership

Risk of damage to or loss of the goods passes to you at the time of delivery or if you fail to take delivery at the agreed time, the time when we tried to deliver. You will only own the goods once they have been successfully delivered and when we have received cleared payment in full.

Acknowledgement and acceptance of your order

You will need to provide us with your e-mail address when you place an order and we will notify you by e-mail as soon as possible to confirm receipt of your order and to confirm details – this confirmation is only an acknowledgement of the details of your offer to purchase the goods. An acceptance of your order will only take place on despatch of the good(s) ordered.

Returns - Your right to cancel

When you purchase from us as a consumer*, you have the right to cancel your order up to 14 days after the products are delivered.

Please contact us within 14 days of receiving the products to arrange a return. We will issue you with a returns authorisation number and advise you on the procedure for returning the products.

You must take good care of the products while they are in your care and return them to us in a resalable condition along with all the original parts, packaging, manuals, accessories etc.

The products must be returned to us within 28 days of delivery to you and you will be responsible for returning the product to us at your own expense.

Where you have benefited from reduced prices for buying multiple quantities of a product, if you return less than the number originally purchased, then we will adjust the amount of your refund to reflect the price that would have applied to the number that you choose to keep.

Where you have received a promotional discount based on the items in your order or the total order value, if you then return some of the products and the products you keep would not have qualified for the promotion, then we may adjust the amount of your refund to remove the discount.

If you used standard delivery or saver delivery service on your order, then we will refund you for the returned products and the original delivery charge on your order. If you have used an enhanced delivery service, like next day delivery, then we will refund you for the returned products and the applicable standard delivery charge only.

The right to cancel will expire if you do not tell us that you wish to cancel within 14 days of delivery of the goods.

The right to cancel will not apply if you tell us that you have accepted the products, or if you use the products in a way that implies that you have accepted them; for example, if you permanently alter the products.

The right to cancel does not apply to products that have been personalised or custom-made to your specification.

* If you are purchasing for a business, or if you are purchasing products to resell, we still provide you with 14 days to cancel your order and return products as described above, however, you must return the full quantity of products originally purchased. We do not offer sale or return services.

Restocking Fee

This charge is to cover the costs of the returns process of non-defective products
