PRODUCT PRICING AND DESCRIPTION
All prices are in pounds sterling. Each product purchased is sold subject to its Product Description, but please remember that handmade ceramics are not mass-produced and therefore slight variations in design/ colour/ size are always possible.
I make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all descriptions and photographic representations of my work available from my shop correspond to the actual product. Please note, however, the following:
Images are for illustrative purposes only. There may be slight variations in colour between the image of a product and the actual product sold due to differences in computer displays and lighting conditions. I am happy to meet you remotely at my studio via FaceTme or Zoom if you’d like a closer look before purchasing. If you are interested in doing this, please contact krigelceramics@gmail.com to make an appointment.
Please also remember that these are hand-made pieces and that clay moves during the drying and firing stages, so when you order a multiple-pieces, the colour of the clay and glaze might be slightly different shades. This is due to the location of the individual piece in the kiln. The variation is not dramatic and differences always add character to a handmade product and absolutely does not have an effect on the function. As above, I am always happy to meet you remotely by contacting me, krigelceramic@gmail.com for a FaceTime or Zoom appointment if you’d like a closer look before purchasing.
I check all prices before I accept your order, but in the unlikely event that I have shown incorrect pricing information, I will contact you in writing to inform you of the mistake. If the correct price is lower than that shown when you made your order, I will simply charge you the lower amount and continue processing your order. If the correct price is higher, I will give you the option to purchase the Goods at the correct price or to cancel your order (or the affected part of it). I will not proceed with processing your order in this case until you respond. If I do not receive a response from you within 5 working days, I will treat your order as cancelled and notify you of this in writing.
In the event that the price of you have ordered changes between your order being placed and Me processing that order and taking payment, you will be charged the price shown on my site at the time of placing your order.
Delivery charges are not included in the product price displayed on my site. Delivery costs will be presented to you as part of the order process.
EVENTS OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL (FORCE MAJEURE)
I will not be liable for any failure or delay in performing My obligations where that failure or delay results from any cause that is beyond My reasonable control. Such causes include, but are not limited to: power failure, internet service provider failure, strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action by third parties, riots and other civil unrest, fire, explosion, flood, storms, earthquakes, subsidence, acts of terrorism (threatened or actual), acts of war (declared, undeclared, threatened, actual or preparations for war), epidemic or other natural disaster, or any other event that is beyond My reasonable control.
If any event occurs that is likely to adversely affect My performance of any of My obligations under these Terms of Sale:
I will inform you as soon as is reasonably possible;
I will take all reasonable steps to minimise the delay;
To the extent that I cannot minimise the delay, My affected obligations under these Terms of Sale (and therefore the Contract) will be suspended and any time limits that I am bound by will be extended accordingly;
I will inform you when the event outside of My control is over and provide details of any new dates, times or availability of Goods as necessary;
If the event outside of My control continues for more than 14 calendar days I will cancel the Contract and inform you of the cancellation. Any refunds due to you as a result of that cancellation will be paid to you as soon as is reasonably possible and in any event within 14 calendar days of the date on which the Contract is cancelled;
If an event outside of My control occurs and continues for more than 14 calendar days and you wish to cancel the Contract as a result, you may do so in any way you wish.
