3. How the contract is formed between you and us
Once you have placed an order (Order) for Products or request a reservation for a Workshop place, you will receive an email to confirm we have received your Order.  This email does not mean your Order has been accepted.  Your Order is subject to acceptance by us, and we shall confirm acceptance by sending you an email which confirms;

    When you have purchased a Product, the Product has been Dispatched (Dispatch Confirmation.)

    When you have booked a Workshop Space you will not receive an email prior to the Workshop, unless we have to change or cancel the Workshop, a right we reserve below.

    If you purchase Products from our website that are out of stock we all inform you via email of the next expected delivery date.  We are not obliged to supply any products which may have been a part of your original Order until the dispatch of such products has been confirmed via Dispatch Confirmation.

    We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours and images of our products that appear at the store. We cannot guarantee that your computer monitor's display of any colour will be accurate.

    We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to limit the sales of our products or Services to any person, geographic region or jurisdiction. We may exercise this right on a case-by-case basis. We reserve the right to limit the quantities of any products or services that we offer. All descriptions of products or product pricing are subject to change at anytime without notice, at the sole discretion of us. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time. Any offer for any product or service made on this site is void where prohibited.


    4. Consumer Rights - Cancellation
    4.1 Purchases of Products

    You have the right to cancel your Purchase at any time within seven working days, beginning the day after you receive the purchase.  In this case you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the products in accordance with our refund policy- see below.

    To cancel a Purchase you must inform us in writing.  You must also return the Products to us immediately.  The product must be returned to us in the same condition in which you received them, at your own cost and risk.  You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation.

    Details of your statutory rights in this situation are outlined in the Dispatch Confirmation.  This provision does not affect your statutory rights.

    4.2 Booking a Workshop

    All Workshops and private lessons are to be paid for in advance via PayPal unless prior agreed with Crafty Sew&So.

    Refunds are available up to 30 days in advance of the event date and up to 7 days after the original booking.  

    Workshop bookings are eligible for date changes or exchanges up to 14 days in advance of workshop date.  You must inform us in writing for any changes you wish to make.  While we will endeavour to accommodate all requests, we cannot guarantee a suitable workshop at a date which suits all parties will be available. 

    We cannot offer refunds or exchanges or alternative dates if notice is given less than 7 days in advance of a workshop or class.  

    4.3 Workshops are planned to allow reasonable time to complete the project with some socialising time factored in, you are expected to work at a reasonable pace so if projects are not completed you should expect to complete the project in your own time. You may complete your unfinished project at a "sewing cafe session", this will be payable at the advertised rate.   

    4.4 For workshops costing £120 or more, a payment plan can be put in place with prior agreement.  Payment plans require 50% of the total workshop cost to be paid at time of booking, with the remaining payment due 7 days before workshop date.  Deposits on workshops are non-refundable.

    4.5 We do not offer refund on PDF files.

    5. Delivery
    Delivery costs are calculated based on the total value of your order and are displaced prior to final check out.  Parcels are posted using Royal Mail or Parcel2Go.  

    We aim to post parcels as soon as possible after Dispatch Confirmation, this is excluding Sundays and Mondays.  Order will be delivered to the delivery address and person you provide at at the time you place the order.

    We accept no liability for any delay resulting from something which is the responsibility of the Royal Mail or Parcel2Go. 


    6. Payment
    The price of Products and Workshops will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.

    All prices do not include delivery, which will be calculated at the time of check out.

    We are only able at this time to trade in the UK using pounds sterling.

    Despite our best efforts, on occasion it is possible that Products or Workshops listed on our site may be incorrectly priced.  We will notify you before sending a Dispatch Confirmation if we notice any errors in pricing.  Where a Product or Workshop has been listed incorrectly at a lower price, we will charge the lower amount.  Where a Product or Workshop has been listed incorrectly at a higher price, we will contact you for instructions prior to dispatch or cancel the order and notify you of the reasons for the rejection.

    We are under no obligation to provide the Product or reserve a Workshop place at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation or Reservation Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.

    Payment for all Products or Workshop places booked on line must be paid through PayPal using a valid credit or debit card, unless we otherwise agree.  We will not despatch your order or reserve your Workshop place until we have received confirmation of payment.  If you wish to pay by a different method, please do contact us and we will try to oblige.


    7. Party Bookings
    A 50% deposit will be required at the time of booking and 50% 30 days before the event. The fee agreed at the time of the booking is non-negotiable. Party cancellations up to 30 days before the event are refundable minus £50 admin fee. Refunds are not possible if the party is cancelled with less than 30 days notice.

    If you need to change the date we will attempt to find an alternative date but this may not be possible. Changes to the booking (times, numbers, location) can often be accommodated but may be subject to additional fees. 

    In the unlikely event that we have to cancel a party due to illness we will provide an alternative tutor if possible or refund in full.

    For your own safety, we request that no alcohol is drunk before or during adult's parties where sewing machines are used.


    8. Our Right to Cancel a Workshop
    In exceptional circumstances, we may unfortunately have to cancel a Workshop.

    8.1 In normal circumstances, if that does occur due to our own sickness/availability, we will give you as much prior notice as possible and will refund your booking fee or see if we can accommodate you on an alternative date if you prefer.  Unfortunately, we cannot accept any liability for travel or other costs.


    9. Modifications to the Services and Prices
    Prices for our products are subject to change without notice.

    We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue the Service (or any part or content thereof) without notice at any time *see clause 10.

    We shall not be liable to you or to any third-party for any modification, price change, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.


    10. Gift Vouchers
    Refunds are not available on gift vouchers.

      because you have cancelled the Contract with us within the seven-day cooling off period, we will process the refund in due course and, in any case within 30 days of the day you have given notice of cancellation. The refund will only be processed providing we have received the returned items in the same condition they were received by you.  Fabrics which have been cut or washed are not applicable for refunds.  The full cost of the cancellation, including the original cost of the original order will be refunded.  However, the responsibility to pay the cost of returning the items to us remains with you.
      Due to the nature of the product, paper and PDF patterns are not applicable for refunds.
      Returns for any other reasons (for instance, because a Product is defective), we will examine the returned Product and will notify you of the refund via email within a reasonable length of time.  We will usually process a refund due to you as soon as possible, and in any case, within 30 days, starting the day after we have notified you of our decision.  Products returned to us because of a defect will be refunded in full, including a refund on postage if deemed appropriate.
