Our Terms and Conditions (or T&Cs) outline everything you need to know to ensure that shopping with us is safe, secure and fair. By using the website, you agree to be bound by these T&Cs and any orders placed by you are bound by these T&Cs. Please read these terms carefully before you submit your order to us. If you’re uncertain about your rights under these T&Cs, or you want any explanation about them please get in touch before you place your order.

1.2 If you would like to place a large wholesale order with us, please get in touch at [email protected] and we will discuss the wholesale availability of our products and our relevant credit and payment terms.

2. Information about us and how to contact us

2.1 Who we are. hardbackhollow is the trading name of hardbackhollow Limited, a company registered in England and Wales. Our company registration number is 04221996 and our registered office is at Oakforest House, Aleja Gen. Antoniego Chruściela "montera" 88A, Warszawa 04-412, Poland. Our registered VAT number is GB 774 4258 06.

2.2 How to contact us. You can telephone us on (+48)457175942. Our office hours are Monday to Friday 9am - 5pm. If you have any compliments or complaints about our products or services, please email [email protected]. We try really hard to respond to all emails to this address within one working day, but please be patient with us if it gets really busy and we take slightly longer.

2.3 How we may contact you. If we have to contact you, we will do so by telephone or by writing to you at the email address or postal address you provided to us in your order.

2.4 "Writing" includes emails. When we use the words "writing" or "written" in these terms, this includes emails.


3. Our contract with you

3.1 How we will accept your order. Your order is an offer to hardbackhollow to buy the product(s) in your order. When you place an order to purchase a product(s) from hardbackhollow, we will send you a message confirming receipt of your order and including the details of your order (the “Order Confirmation”). When we send you the Order Confirmation, this does not confirm acceptance of your offer to buy the product(s) ordered. It is an acknowledgement that we have received your order. Our acceptance of your offer and conclusion of the sale of a product(s) to you will take place when we email you to confirm the order has been dispatched to you, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.

3.2 If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to make delivery within a reasonable time-frame due to issues with stock availability.

3.3 Your order number. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we receive your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order. If you have not received an order number, please contact us at [email protected] or telephone us on (+48)457175942.


4. Our Products

4.1 Products may vary slightly from their images. The images of the products on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device's display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the products. Your product may vary slightly from those images. Although we have made every effort to be as accurate as possible, because some of our products are handmade, sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated on our website for these products have a reasonable tolerance of difference.

4.2 Product packaging may vary. The packaging of the product may vary from that shown in images on our website.


5. Delivery & Shipping

5.1 Free UK delivery over £75. We offer free standard delivery applicable on UK Mainland orders over £75 only. Please note UK Mainland delivery excludes post codes beginning AB, KW, IV, PA and PH except for AB 1 to 16, AB 21 to 25, AB 30 and AB 39, PA1 to PA 19 and PH1 to PH3.

5.2 Our delivery process. You can have your order shipped to you via your chosen delivery method.

(a) When you place an item in your shopping basket, you can use our delivery calculator to view the shipping cost. This way you know exactly how much you're spending on delivery before you make any commitment to buy. Please ensure your delivery details and especially the delivery country is correct.

(b) We‘ll send you an email when your order is dispatched and we use a signed for service for many orders, so it's important that there is someone in to receive the goods. If this isn't possible, we recommend you have it shipped to an alternative delivery address (such as your work, a friend's or neighbour's house). We can't deliver to PO Boxes or packstation addresses. Delivery to hotel addresses will be at your own risk, so please be sure to state your room number and dates of stay. Please note that delivery times quoted are for your guidance only and are not guaranteed. As we're sure you know, nothing is 100% certain (especially when it involves the roads), and very occasionally the next day service isn't. Generally however, there are no problems and your order will arrive as planned. The majority of our courier services offer a 'Predict' service. This is an SMS text to you on the morning of delivery outlining the timings of your delivery slot direct to your mobile phone. To receive this service, make sure enter your mobile number when placing your order, including country dialling code if outside of the UK. Most of our deliveries will occur between the hours of 08.00 and 19.00.

(c) Please be aware that courier notes containing extra information for delivery are at the discretion of the delivery driver to comply with. We employ a signed for service in which the courier is expected to obtain a signature upon delivery. If a delivery note expressing alternate delivery instructions is complied with and results in a lost parcel, any claim for compensation would be invalidated.

(d) If everything in your order is in stock, we'll aim to send it out within a day or so. If something is out of stock, we'll ship what we have and cancel the rest. You will be notified via email should this be the case.

(e) Once we have accepted your order, we will deliver the goods to you no later than 30 days from acceptance unless we have notified you and agreed a longer delivery time-frame.

(f) We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control, 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 contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.

In some instances, the customs and excise service in your country may apply further charges.

Important general advice:  International deliveries outside the EU may be subject to customs clearance. These charges can include import duty, handling fees, local taxes and other costs. hardbackhollow is not responsible for these costs or for any delays caused by Customs or other government authorities. Failure to pay these charges will mean that your parcel will be returned to the UK. Should this happen, your original shipping charges will be forfeited as well as any other associated return costs. If the cost of return is greater than the value of the order, then the whole cost of the order will be forfeited. Please make sure that you understand what process and costs may apply for delivery to your country.

5.4 Damaged, incomplete & undelivered orders:

(a) My order was damaged in transit, what do I do?

We do our best to pack each order thoroughly and carefully, but on occasion parcels do arrive damaged. In these instances, please sign for the parcel as DAMAGED and take clear photos of the parcel before you open it to inspect the contents. If you then find that the contents have been damaged or are missing, please call us within 5 working days so we can raise a claim with the couriers. We will require photographs in order to progress your claim. Although we may still be able to raise a claim after this time, it may be rejected by the courier company. If you sign for a damaged parcel, you are accepting delivery and we will not be liable for any goods that have been damaged or went missing during transit.

(b) I have an item(s) missing from my delivery, what do I do?

Firstly, ensure that your parcel was not damaged upon receipt. If it was, please follow the steps outlined above.

Our warehouse team will often wrap your items within blankets and between bolsters to ensure they are protected during transit, so please ensure that you open each and every parcel and remove everything from their boxes. If you discover that an item(s) is missing, email us ASAP to let us know or call our Customer Services team on 020 8888 8588. Our aim will be to get you your missing item(s) immediately. The only reason we would not be able to resend a missing item from your order is if the item(s) is out of stock.

 

(c) Some items are shipped direct from the supplier.

Some items we sell are shipped to you direct from our supplier. If this is the case, you will receive your order in 2 or more parts. All products that are shipped out separately are clearly noted as such on our website. If you receive an incomplete order, please check your order to see if it contains one of these items.

(d) Unfortunately, sometimes our inventory isn't what we thought it was.

We work very hard with our warehouse team to ensure our stock is correct. However, sometimes things go wrong and what we think we have in stock is not what we have on the shelf. If our inventory is incorrect when picking your order, we will normally ship out the items that we do have in stock and cancel the unavailable item(s). In these instances, you will be notified via email the following day and refunded in full for the missing item(s). We will also get back in touch when the item is in stock again, should you wish to place a new order. We apologise in advance if this happens with your order.

(e) I've been waiting for my order and it hasn't arrived, what do I do?

We do our best to dispatch items in a timely fashion. From time to time, a delivery is delayed due to unforeseen reasons such as a delivery lorry breaking down or adverse weather. If you have a tracking number for your order, please go online to check for any updates direct from our couriers. You can find this in your dispatch email confirmation.

On the rare occasion some parcels go missing, usually the goods have just been misplaced by the courier or mis-routed and will turn up within a couple of days. For all courier deliveries, an investigation will take 5 working days. If you have not received your order after you have received your dispatch confirmation email, please get in touch with us so we can raise this investigation. We need to allow the couriers time to deliver your order, so depending on your location and delivery method, please use the following table to help you decide when to contact us. Although we may still be able to trace your items after the time stated, we will not consider claims for items lost or undelivered after the stated period.

Royal Mail/Airmail Courier Express
UK 10 working days 3 working days 1 working day
EU 15 working days 4 working days N/A
Rest of Europe 15 working days 5 working days N/A
Rest of the world 20 working days 6 working days N/A

(f) My parcel has not arrived, what do I do?

Occasionally orders are returned to us as undeliverable. An order could be returned for one of the following reasons.

(i) Incorrect address

If the address is incorrect, outdated or is rejected because it is a PO Box or packstation, the parcel will typically be returned to us by the carrier or the unintended recipient. We are unable to make address changes for parcels after they have left us. Please double-check the address carefully when placing your order. Should your parcel be returned to us, your order will be refunded less any shipping costs and an email sent to notify you. You will need to place a new order online.

(ii) Failed delivery attempts

Most of our carriers will make more than one attempt to deliver a parcel. If they find that they can't successfully deliver your parcel, it may be returned to us or left at a local depot for you to arrange collection. If not collected, the parcel will be returned to us. Should this happen, your order will be refunded less any shipping costs and an email sent to notify you. You will need to place a new order online.

(iii) Refused by recipient

When ordering a gift to be sent directly to the recipient, please be sure that they are aware. A gift recipient who isn't expecting a gift may refuse a parcel if they believe it's being delivered to them by mistake. Should this happen, your order will be refunded less any shipping costs and an email sent to notify you. You will need to place a new order online.

(iv) Unpaid customs charges

International deliveries outside the UK may be subject to customs clearance. These charges can include import duty, handling fees, local taxes and other costs. hardbackhollow is not responsible for these costs or for any delays caused by Customs or other government authorities. Failure to pay these charges will mean that your parcel will be returned to the UK. Please make sure that you understand what process and costs may apply for delivery to your country. Should this happen, your original shipping charges will be forfeited as well as any other associated return costs. If the cost of return is greater than the value of the order then the whole cost of the order will be forfeited.

(v) Illegible address

In rare cases, address labels may become illegible in transit. If this happens, a carrier will return the parcel to us. In these instances, we will reship free of charge.

(vi) Damaged in transit

If a parcel is badly damaged while it's on its way to you, the carrier may return it without attempting delivery. In these instances, we will repack and reship free of charge.

5.5 When you become responsible for the goods. The product or products ordered will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the product to the address provided by you.

5.6 When you own goods. You own the products once we have received payment in full.

5.7 Reasons we may suspend the supply of products to you. We may have to suspend the supply of a product to:

(a) deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;

(b) update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;

6.2 Amending orders

We are not able to amend orders once confirmed.

Once you have confirmed your order online, it is immediately directed to our warehouse for processing. This is a seamless process that takes place via our computer system; this means that we are not able to amend any orders. Once you have received your order, if you decide an item(s) is not suitable, you can return it. Please refer to section 6.4 - Returns.

6.3 Cancelling orders

Once you have completed your order at checkout, it is immediately sent to our warehouse for processing. We are not able to amend or stop orders after they have been placed. If you change your mind and decide you do not want your order and wish to cancel, you will need to return the whole order once it has been delivered to you. Please follow the instructions in section 6.4 - Returns

In accordance with the Consumer Contract Regulations, you have 14 days to change your mind from the first day that you receive the goods. Should you decide to return your whole order within 14 days, we will refund you in full for the item(s) including the original shipping charge. If the order is shipped in more than one parcel, the 14 days will apply from the date of delivery of the last item. Please note, we only refund the standard delivery amount. We do not refund express delivery charges. Your refund will be processed once the goods have returned to hardbackhollow. The Consumer Contract Regulations applies to EU countries only.

All postage and handling charges associated with returning the goods to hardbackhollow are your responsibility.

IMPORTANT! You must email us to notify us if you change your mind and wish to cancel your order. If you do not inform us that you are cancelling your whole order, we will treat any goods sent back to us as a return.

There are some products we cannot cancel or refund, such as made-to-order items. Please see our FAQs for a full list.

6.4 Returns

We want all our customers to fall in love with their chosen items. However, if you're unhappy with your purchase, please let us know as soon as possible and return the item(s) within 30 days of purchase.

Our returns address is: hardbackhollow Returns, The Finishing Line Ltd, Unit DC1, Prologis Park, Honywood Road, Basildon, SS14 3TS

All returned items must be in their original condition. This means clothing must have hangtags still attached. We ask that you return all items in their original packaging. If you have broken cellophane seals on any items, please return all other labels and materials apart from the cellophane itself. Any items that have clearly been used will be not refunded even if they are returned to us.

The postage and handling of your return is your responsibility. Please ensure that you obtain proof of postage when sending your parcel back, as we cannot be held responsible for any orders that do not arrive back to us. You may be able to claim compensation through your chosen return service if you have proof of postage.

Returns can only be refunded to the person who originally placed and paid for the order, and the refund can only be processed back to the same payment method. Refunds can take up to 14 days to be processed after receipt of the return.

There are some products which we cannot cancel or refund, such as made-to-order items. Please see our FAQs for a full list.

6.5 Exchanges We are not able to offer an exchange service on unwanted goods. This ensures that we can maintain high stock levels and keep an up-to-date inventory at all times.

The quickest and easiest way for you to get exactly what you want in a different colour or size is to simply return the unwanted item and order another. Please refer to section 6.4 – Returns.

6.6 Donations To support various charities, we offer you the chance to donate to one of our nominated charities during the checkout process. All donations will be passed to charities at least four times a year. Occasionally, hardbackhollow will pledge to match donations in the checkout.

Unless noted elsewhere at the time, hardbackhollow will pledge to match up to £1000 in checkout donations for each fixed period. No refunds are possible on donated amounts.


7. Price and Payment

7.1 Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 7.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.

7.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

7.3 What happens if we got the price wrong? It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that where the product's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.

7.4 When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment for orders by card and PayPal payments. If you choose PayPal, you will be directed to their site to complete the payment. Please see our FAQs for a full list of all possible payment options.

7.5 Klarna payment method. In order to offer you Klarna’s payment methods, we might in the checkout pass your personal data in the form of contact and order details to Klarna, in order for Klarna to assess whether you qualify for their payment methods and to tailor those payment methods for you. Your personal data transferred is processed in line with Klarna’s own privacy notice
