How to order

All orders for products from the Gothic Gear online shop must be placed using the shopping basket facility provided on the website. When you submit your order, you are offering to purchase products from us at the prices indicated on this website.

To make your order you will be directed to a secure website operated by our provider of on-line payment facilities where you can enter your payment information. Please do not e-mail your card details to us as we can only take payment via the website.

Once you have entered your payment information and your payment has been confirmed, you will then be redirected to a final confirmation screen displaying the details relating to your order.

We will acknowledge receipt and acceptance of your order by email. The contract between us is not formed until we confirm that we have accepted your order.

If you discover you have made a mistake with your order please contact us immediately.

Method of payment

The prices indicated on our website include VAT in the UK which may be payable in respect of the products unless otherwise stated. Payment is due in pounds sterling.
You can pay for products from the Gothic Gear online shop using VISA, Master Card, or Maestro credit and debit cards. We are unable to accept payment by AMEX or Electron cards.

We can only process your order if you enter the card holder's name as it is shown on the card being used for payment and the postcode that appears on the card statement. It is your responsibility to ensure that the payment details you enter on the website are correct and complete. Gothic Gear will not be responsible for supplying products if the details you submit when making your order are incorrect or incomplete.

No payment will be deemed to have been made until we have cleared funds and we will not accept your order or dispatch the products until we receive payment in full.

Postage

We aim to despatch your order on the first working day after receiving payment, with an expected delivery date of 3-5 working days, but we cannot give an exact delivery date. We will arrange for delivery of the products either by Royal Mail first class post or by courier depending on the products purchased. Please refer to the delivery details on the website for further information and our delivery charges.

Please allow up to 28 days for delivery. If you've not received the products you ordered within 28 days please let us know as soon as possible.

The products will be delivered to the address of the holder of the credit or debit card used to make the purchase, or a different address if specified by you when making your order. If you order more than one product in a single order then they may be despatched separately and arrive with you at different times.

Pricing and availability of products

The prices on this website are checked regularly to ensure they are accurate and up-to-date. However, if we find they have changed when we receive your order we will contact you and ask if you wish to proceed.

We do our best to ensure that all products shown on our website are available to order. If however any product you order is out of stock or unavailable we will endeavour to contact you to arrange a refund or alternative delivery date. In addition, if the products that you have ordered are no longer available, we may offer you substituted goods of a similar nature and quality. Again, in this case, we will contact you and ask if you wish to proceed.

Returns policy and your right to cancel

Returns Policy -

You should inspect the products when you receive them for defects or damage. If you find a defect or damage you must tell us as soon as possible and we will arrange for their return to us. If the products are found to be damaged prior to delivery to you, or defective, we will at our option repair or replace the products, or if neither is possible we will refund the price paid by you for the products. If you would prefer repair or replacement of the products please contact us and we will accommodate you where this is reasonably practicable.
In addition to your right to return defective or damaged products, if for any reason you are unhappy with your purchase you can return it to us in its original condition, packaging complete with tags still attached at any time within 14 days of order dispatch date and we will issue a full refund of the price you paid for the product.

Cancellation -

If you are a consumer (i.e. you are not purchasing either wholly or in part for your business or you are not a business), in addition to your other legal rights you have the right to cancel any order and receive a full refund from us. If you wish to cancel your order please contact us stating your order reference number. If you choose to return any products under this right to cancel, you will be responsible for returning the products to us at your own cost. However, we will cover the cost of you returning any products that we have provided as a substitute for defective products that you ordered.

Please send all returns with a covering letter stating your order reference number and accompanied by the original delivery note to:

Gothic Gear Returns, 7 Arundel Grange, Simmondley, Glossop, Derbyshire. SK13 6UP. UK

Whenever you return products to us, please ensure as far as possible that they are unused, unopened and in their original packaging (with any seals and shrink-wrap intact). We recommend that you return goods by recorded delivery. All refunds will be made to the card which you originally used for the purchase.
Nothing in these terms and conditions affects any other legal rights you may have to reject or return products.
