PLACING AN ORDER
By placing an order with us you will be deemed to have read, understood and agreed to these Terms and Conditions. These are the terms on which we do business. They do not affect your statutory rights. They are designed to set out clearly our responsibilities and your rights. If you are unhappy with any aspect of these, then you should contact one of our customer service advisors info@emeyu.com before placing an order with us.
1. Formation of contract
A contract is formed between us when (and not before) we notify you by e-mail that your order has been accepted. Your order will not be accepted until we receive authorisation of your credit card payment. We reserve the right not to accept any order for any reason. In such event, your credit card will be credited with the amount debited in respect of your order.
2. Price and payment
The price of the ordered goods including any value added tax (if applicable) shall be as set out in the on-line order form. The cost of delivery shall, subject to condition 3, also be set out in the on-line order form. All payments shall be in pounds Sterling. Where the price of goods appears on this website in another currency, such price is indicative only and the pounds Sterling price quoted in the on-line order form shall be the actual price of the ordered goods.
3. Large orders
We are unable to quote online for the cost of delivery for any order in excess of 30kg. In such event, the delivery on the on-line order form will be shown as the rate for orders below 30kg and we will contact you within 48 hours to advise of the proposed delivery charge before the ordered goods are despatched. You will have the option to accept and pay such charge or cancel the order, in which event your credit card will be credited with the amount debited in respect of your order.
4. Delivery
The ordered goods will be delivered to the delivery address entered by you on the on-line order form. Goods will normally be despatched within 3-5 working days of acceptance of your order unless otherwise indicated on this website. However, we shall not be liable for any delay in delivery. If we fail to despatch any ordered goods within 30 days of acceptance of your order (or such longer period for delivery as may be specified on this website in relation to such goods), we shall refund in full your payment in respect of such goods. We are currently nor deliverying goods to the United States.

7. Alternative goods
If we are unable to supply any goods ordered by you, we will not accept your order but we may contact you and offer you alternative goods.

9. Refunds and replacements
If you make a valid claim under condition 8, we shall replace the goods in question free of charge or, at your option, refund in full your payment in respect of such goods but we shall have no further liability for such failure or defect. Such replacement or refund is conditional upon the goods in question having been returned to us unused and undamaged within 14 days.
