4.4 HOW A CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN US
When you place an Order through the Website, you are offering to buy those Goods from us. We will send you an acknowledgement email shortly after you place your Order. However, this email is simply acknowledging receipt of your Order and does not mean that your Order has been accepted. You should note that:
If we accept your Order, we will send you an acceptance email which confirms the details of the Goods and the total value, and also confirms that the Goods have been (or will be) despatched ("Despatch Email"). The contract between us is formed when we send you the Despatch Email.
If we are unable to supply you with Goods, for example, because the Goods are not in stock, are no longer available, or because of an error in the price on the Website, we will inform you of this by e-mail or telephone and we will not process your Order. We will refund the full amount of your payment if you do not wish to order alternative Goods from us or, in the case of a pricing error, order the Goods at the correct price.
We will do what we reasonably can to meet the estimated delivery timeframe referred to in the Despatch Email (which timeframe will be within 30 days of the date of the Despatch Email), with the Goods to be delivered to the delivery address or Fraser Hart store specified in the Despatch Email. However please note that this date is only an estimate and may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control. If we are unable to meet the estimated delivery date, we will contact you with a revised estimated delivery date. You should note that, if we miss this 30-day delivery deadline, you may cancel the contract if:
If the Goods are being delivered to a Fraser Hart store through our Click & Collect service, the following will apply:
Please note The Click & Collect service is available for purchasable products online excluding resized or special order rings and special order name necklaces.
Further information on our Click & Collect service is available on our Delivery page.
The Goods will be your responsibility from delivery. If, for whatever reason, you have not paid for the Goods in full by the time they are delivered to you, you will only own the Goods when we have received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges.
The prices on the Website are in POUNDS STERLING and are inclusive of VAT and any other applicable taxes (which are charged at the current rate at the time of purchase). We will do what we reasonably can to ensure that the prices stated on the Website are accurate and up to date. In the event of any pricing errors, we will notify you by email or telephone and give you the opportunity to re-confirm your Order at the correct price.
You must pay for the Goods at the time of submitting your Order. As stated at section 4.3 (Placing an Order Online) above, by placing your Order you will be under an obligation to pay for the Goods at that time. Payments must be made by credit or debit card, Apple Pay or PayPal (please see the relevant part of the Website for a list of those payment cards accepted and method of payment here). By submitting a credit or debit card number, you:
If, for whatever reason, we do not accept your Order, we will refund your payment in full.
You may be subject to validation checks and/or third-party authorisations depending on your method of payment.
Please note that, even if the contract has been concluded, we do not have to provide the Goods to you at the incorrect price if the pricing error is obvious and could reasonably have been recognised as a pricing error.

KLARNA
In cooperation with Klarna Bank AB (publ), Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden, we offer you the following payment options. Payment is to be made to Klarna.

If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a contract (under the Consumer contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 during the cancellation period set out below. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or for any other reason you decide you do not want to keep the Goods, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the contract and receive a refund. Please note that refunds are issued only after we are again in possession of ordered Goods. However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of any Bespoke Items. Also, where the Goods are sealed for hygiene or health protection reasons (for instance, earrings or other pierced items), you will lose your right to cancel the contract if the Goods are unsealed after delivery. Advice about your legal right to cancel the contract is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
If you cancel the contract, we will:
(i) If you have received the Goods and we have not offered to collect them from you 30 days after the day on which we receive the Goods back from you.
(ii) If you have not received the Goods or you have received them, and we have offered to collect them from you under section 30 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the contract.
(iii) If you have returned the Goods to us because they are faulty or mis-described, we will refund the price of the Goods in full, together with any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.
If the Goods have been delivered to you before you cancel the contract:
Because you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Goods that are in conformity with this contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Goods that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this section 4.8 or anything else in these Terms. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
We may cancel any contract (or any part of the contract) if for any reason the Goods are withdrawn by the manufacturer or by order of any governmental authority, in which event we will notify you by email and refund any payments you have made in respect of the Goods.
With the exception of any Bespoke Items, Goods are subject to a 30-day money back guarantee provided that they are returned to us in their original condition and packaging within 30 days of the date of delivery to you. Store-bought earrings cannot be returned unless they are faulty. The Goods must also be accompanied by our despatch paperwork. Only purchases from a Fraser Hart store or FraserHart.com can be exchanged or refunded in Fraser Hart stores.
Prior to returning the Goods, you should contact us at sales@fraserhart.co.uk or 0808 549 7766. Items may be returned direct to Fraser Hart Online Returns, PO Box 27187, Glasgow, G1 9ES, or to one of our stores.
Please note that items purchased online through Interest Free Credit/Apple Pay/PayPal can be returned in-store, however, the refund will be processed by our Customer Happiness Team. Subject to your statutory rights, Goods which have hygiene seals cannot be returned under if they have been unsealed.
RETURNS BY POST
Some of our Goods are subject to a manufacturer's guarantee. Such a guarantee is in addition to your legal rights in relation to faulty Goods or which are not as described. If you suspect that the Goods are faulty or defective, you must notify us (by emailing sales@fraserhart.co.uk, calling 0808 549 7766 or calling into one of our stores) as soon as you become aware of the defect. Your remedies in respect of any such alleged defect will depend on the terms of the manufacturer's guarantee. These guarantees often contain time limits, so it is important that you notify us as soon as possible. If the Goods are still within the manufacturer's guarantee period, we will return them to the manufacturer for testing. The manufacturer will determine if the Goods are defective and we will notify you in writing of the manufacturer's decision, the amount of any refund which is to be paid to you and when such payment will be made. See the Fraser Hart diamond guarantee.
If you are returning Goods to us by post or courier, we strongly recommend that you send them by Royal Mail Special Delivery (or an equivalent "signed for" delivery service) to ensure proof of delivery and insurance for the Goods whilst they are in transit. We cannot be responsible for any Goods which are lost in transit. Alternatively, you may take the Goods, with proof of purchase, directly to any Fraser Hart store. Refunds will only be made to the card used to purchase the Goods.
Except as expressly provided in this section 4.10 (Returns), this Website, the service, and the Goods are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. The express warranties stated above are in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied or statutory, including without limitation any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose and any warranty of non-infringement.
If we fail to comply with these Terms, we may be responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms or our negligence. We will not however be responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it was an obvious consequence of our breach or if it was contemplated by you and us at the time we entered into the contract.
Nothing in these Terms shall limit any rights you might have as a consumer or other legal rights that may not be excluded by law. We do not in any way exclude or limit our liability for:
We will endeavour to process refunds as follows:
Refunds are made in the same form of payment originally used for purchase. When a refund is made to a credit or debit card, Apple Pay or PayPal it may not show up in your account straight away as the clearing banks take time to process the refund. Typically, this can take up to 7 (seven) working days but varies depending on your own bank. If you would like further clarification on the timescales involved, please contact your card issuer.
NORTHERN STAR SPECIAL ORDERS
The Northern Star collection of diamond rings and jewellery comes available in 18ct white gold. Northern Star designs that can be ordered in either 18ct yellow gold, 18ct rose gold or platinum are termed as ‘special/bespoke orders.

Please note that pre-owned watches are not sent to their brand workshops to be repaired. If you change your mind within seven days of receiving your pre-owned watch, e-mail us on sales.team@fraserhart.co.uk and we will arrange a refund.
