No responsibility, under any circumstances, will be accepted by Febland Group Ltd for any damages or shortages on goods not checked on collection.

We shall not be liable for any expenses direct, or indirect, consequential or contingent loss or damage however caused (whether by negligence of ourselves, our servants or agents or otherwise) arising from delay in delivery of any goods to the buyer. Such delay shall not give rise to the right of the buyer to treat the contract as repudiated or to reject the goods and we shall have such extra time as is deemed necessary to deliver the goods to the buyer.
• Failure by us to make any instalment or partial delivery shall not affect the contract for the balance of goods.
We shall have the right to make partial or instalment deliveries of goods and the buyer shall accept such instalment or partial delivery. Each instalment or partial delivery shall for the purpose of payment be deemed to be a separate transaction and may be involved separately.

From 1 February 2021 all customers are required to provide an economic operators registration and identification (EORI) number. We cannot process your shipment without this. An EORI number can be obtained by all customers, whether you are vat registered or not. Deliveries to the republic of Ireland will now be treated as an export shipment from the United Kingdom.

We have details of UK shippers and will be happy to put them in touch with you to arrange shipments.

STOCK & PRICING

• Febland Group Ltd reserves the right to change product prices or shipping costs at any time, including but not limited to, price increases and surcharges, if required. Price changes for any reason, including but not limited to shipping/delivery costs, take effect immediately upon notice which can be delivered by any means, including but not limited to, mailers, the Febland Group Ltd website, any other marketing platforms, emails, company terms and conditions, invoices, and order confirmations. In the event of a price change, this price change will also apply to any items on pre-order or backorder which are on the system but have not yet been delivered.
• Until goods are in stock, in our warehouse, and listed on our website, any lead times given are approximate.
Shipping delays due to customs checks and various other factors can affect the delivery of goods.
• Many of our products are handmade or hand finished. This is how they are intended, and therefore small variations in finish are to be expected. For example, ceramic items can vary slightly in size and shape, as well as potentially contain firing marks, glaze bubbles or runs. Glass products can contain bubbles or have colour variation. These handmade effects are not faults, and will not be considered to be, with respect to customers wishing to return items to us.
• Stock information supplied is as accurate as possible. We do not recommend customers to sell/ take deposits on goods not in their possession. Febland Group Ltd will not accept any responsibility if goods become out of stock and we therefore cannot supply. The sale of goods not owned by the customer is entirely at their own risk.
• It is a condition of sale that the full amount of V.A.T. shall be paid at the same time as payment is made for the
relative goods.
• Buyers standard conditions of purchase shall not apply unless specifically accepted in advance.
• No servant, agent or employee of ours has the authority or right to vary or modify any of these conditions nor has any such servant, agent, employee or any person have any authority to give or agree to any warranties or conditions or make any representations or promises on behalf of us in respect if the quality, fitness or other characteristics of any goods to be sold by us, to the buyer.
