Welcome to the Kim Wood Jewellers service. By placing an order using this service you are accepting these Terms & Conditions. Please read these Terms & Conditions before placing an order. These Terms & Conditions only apply to goods purchased online using this website.


Ordering, cancelling before despatch and returning after despatch

Ordering
Please see our ordering online is easy guide for instructions on placing an order.

By completing and submitting an electronic order form, you are making an offer to purchase goods which, if accepted by us, will result in a binding contract. Please note orders will only be despatched once we have authorisation from your payment card issuer. We will not be liable if there is a delay, and we will not accept your order if payment is not authorised.

Certain steps must be followed for a contract to be formed, as described below.

After you have placed your order:

  • We will send you, as soon as possible, an email to acknowledge your order. It will confirm which goods you have ordered. This email is not an order acceptance from us.
  • When we despatch your goods from the warehouse, we will send you a confirmation email. This email constitutes a formal acceptance of your order by us. This also means that a contract between us is agreed and we are obliged to fulfil our obligations under this contract.
  • We do not have to accept your order, and for example, we will not accept your order if:
    • we do not have the goods in stock
    • your payment is not authorised
    • there is an error on our website regarding the price or other details of the goods
    • you have cancelled it in accordance with the instructions below

We reserve the right to refuse any order.


Cancelling an order before despatch

If you change your mind after placing an order, you can cancel it at any time before we despatch it. Please see the contact us page for our telephone number. You will need to give us your name and address details, as well as your order number to cancel your order.
If you cancel part of an order the postage and packaging charge is recalculated on the price of the goods you keep. For example, if your order is for £60 worth of goods and you then cancel a £15 item, your order total will drop below £49, and you will no longer qualify for FREE Standard delivery.

Packing and delivery costs will be added to the total price of your goods. Prices quoted on the website are applicable exclusively to goods purchased through this website.
