  • Conclusion of sales and availability of stock
    1. Registered users may place orders for Goods, which BellaCard may accept or reject. Whether or not BellaCard accepts an order depends on the availability of Goods, correctness of the information relating to the Goods (including without limitation the price) and receipt of payment or payment authorisation by BellaCard for the Goods.
    2. NOTE: BellaCard will indicate the acceptance of your order by delivering the Goods, and only at that point will an agreement of sale between you and BellaCard come into effect (the “Sale”). This is regardless of any communication from BellaCard stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. BellaCard will indicate the rejection of your order (by BellaCard itself ) by cancelling it and, as soon as possible thereafter, refunding you for any amount already paid.
    3. Prior to delivery or your collection of the Goods, you may cancel an order at any time provided you do so before receiving a dispatch or delivery notice. After delivery or your collection of the Goods, you may cancel the Sale only in accordance with the Returns Policy.
    4. Placing Goods in a wishlist or shopping basket without completing the purchase cycle does not constitute an order for such Goods, and as such, Goods may be removed from the shopping basket if stock is no longer available or the price thereof might change without notice to you. You cannot hold BellaCard liable if such Goods are not available or are not available at the particular price when you complete or attempt to complete the purchase cycle at a later stage.
    5. You acknowledge that stock of all Goods on offer is limited and that pricing may change at any time without notice to you. In the case of Goods for sale by BellaCard, BellaCard will take all reasonable efforts to monitor stock levels and ensure that when stock is no longer available, that offers thereof are discontinued on the Website. However, we cannot guarantee the availability of stock. When Goods are no longer available after placing an order, BellaCard will notify you and you will be entitled to a refund of the amount paid by you for such Goods.
    6. Please see details relating to Pre-orders in our FAQ’s: Pre-Order, which are incorporated by reference.

  • Errors
    1. We shall take all reasonable efforts to accurately reflect the description, availability, purchase price and delivery charges of Goods on the Website. However, should there be any errors of whatsoever nature on the Website (which are not due to our gross negligence), we shall not be liable for any loss, claim or expense relating to a transaction based on any error, save – in the case of any incorrect purchase price – to the extent of refunding you for any amount already paid, or otherwise as set out in the Returns Policy.

      1. Vouchers
