Terms & Conditions
Here’s the tedious legal bit. A necessary evil which lays out the legal obligations of both parties for shopping online and protects consumers from those online stores who do not offer the kind of guarantees we do.
We in fact go much further than these in our commitment to you (detailed below the legal minimums listed first), but they are the minimum we are obliged to offer under the EU's Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, and your guarantee that no matter what we say elsewhere on the site, this is what we MUST do by law.
These terms and conditions apply to the use of this website at www.corazonlatino.com.
By accessing this website and/or placing an order, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. Using this website indicates that you accept these terms regardless of whether or not you choose to register with us or order from us.
You will be able to access most areas of this Website without registering your details with us. Certain areas of this Website are only open to you if you create an account.
INTRODUCTION
We may revise these terms and conditions at any time by updating this posting. You should check this Website from time to time to review the then current terms and conditions, because they are binding on you.
MAKING A PURCHASE
You are deemed to place an order with us by ordering via our online checkout process. As part of our checkout process you will be given the opportunity to check your order and to correct any errors. We will send you an order acknowledgement, detailing the products you have ordered.
Our acceptance of an order takes place when we despatch the order. We will send you a despatch confirmation by email. When we despatch the order the purchase contract will be made even if your payment has been processed immediately, unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or you have cancelled your order.
We may refuse to accept an order:
(a) where goods are not available;
(b) where we cannot obtain authorisation for your payment;
(c) if there has been a pricing or product description error; or
(d) if you do not meet any eligibility criteria set out in our terms and conditions.
All transactions are in £ (Sterling) or $ (US Dollars) depending on the currency you choose at the time of purchase. Payments will be charged in your chosen currency and any exchange rate risk associated with this is covered by us so what you see on your invoice is exactly what you will pay.
All prices include UK VAT at the current rates. We reserve the right to express the price exclusive of VAT, but we shall show VAT separately and include it in the total price. Where we charge separately for packing, carriage and other relevant charges, the appropriate rates are set out in our specified pricing structure shown elsewhere on this Website.
Our prices are reviewed periodically in line with fluctuations in the global price of silver, currency exchange rates and VAT changes. The next planned review will be on 01/07/2021.
When you receive confirmation that your order has been shipped or back-ordered this is an indication that we have accepted your order, and hence a contract between us. This should be within 72 hours of placing your order.
CANCELLATION AND RETURNS POLICY
If you wish to cancel your order:
(a) you can notify us by email to solidsilver@corazonlatino.com or by telephone on 0330 8080410 before we have dispatched the goods to you; or
(b) where goods have already been dispatched to you, by contacting us by email (solidsilver@corazonlatino.com), telephone, 0330 8080410 (UK landline) or +44330 8080410 (international callers)) or in writing to our main address (Corazon Latino Ltd, Unit 5, 4B Tyers Gate, London SE1 3HX) & then returning goods to us in accordance with our returns policy below. To simplify this process you can download a simple returns form here which you can complete and email to us with a hard copy in your return parcel.
YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS TO CANCEL YOUR ORDER
The Consumer Contracts Regulations provide you with a range of legal rights when shopping online. These are:
The right to cancel an order without giving any reason at any time from the moment you place your order until 14 days from the day after you receive your goods.
The only exception to this rule is for "the supply of goods made to the consumer’s specifications or clearly personalised or which by reason of their nature cannot be returned or which by reason of their nature cannot be returned". This covers any engraved or bespoke pieces which have been made specially for you, and any earrings, which for hygiene reasons cannot be returned simply because you have changed you mind. IF either of these items is deemed to be faulty, you right to return them remains intact.
COOLING OFF PERIOD
The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the goods.
CONTACT ADDRESS
To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us [Corazon Latino Ltd, Unit 5, 4B Tyers Gate, London SE1 3HX. Tel: 03308080410. Email: solidsilver@corazonlatino.com] of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (e.g. a phone call, letter sent by post or e-mail). If you prefer, you may download this form and use this to notify us of your cancellation or amendment to your order.
DEADLINE
To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.
EFFECTS OF CANCELLATION
If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of
delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us for your location).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than
(a) 14 days after the day we receive back from you any goods supplied, or
(b) (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the goods.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction,
unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.
RETURN OF GOODS
You shall send back the goods without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us.
The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired.
RETURN COST
You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
CONSUMERS LIABILITY FOR DIMINISHED VALUE OF GOODS
You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
OUR ADDITIONAL MONEY BACK NO QUIBBLE GUARANTEE
In addition to your legal rights (above) we offer a 3 month, no quibble, money back guarantee on all our jewellery except earrings and personalised pieces. So if you are unhappy with your jewellery for any reason whatsoever, you can return it for a refund or exchange.
We do ask that jewellery is still in a saleable condition (unless it arrived damaged) and if possible please return it in its original packaging to protect it in transit.
This guarantee is valid not just for the legal minimum of 14 days, but for up to 3 months from the day you receive your order.
Our products are guaranteed against manufacturing faults, but not misuse. To maintain the condition of your jewellery please remove it when showering, swimming or undertaking manual or domestic work. Ensure that you do not bend items such as bangles and chokers as, like all metal, repeated or severe flexing of the silver may cause it to buckle or snap. These items may be adjusted once very gently for the initial fitting only, after which point they should not be bent, but rather slipped on at their existing size.
We cannot be held responsible for any damage or loss whilst items are being returned to us. You should insure the items being returned and we strongly recommend that you send them by Royal Mail Special Delivery or Recorded delivery to do this. The cost of the return postage is yours.
On receipt of your returned goods we will authorise a refund or replacement. We aim to refund your card within 48 hours, but please allow a maximum of 14 days for refunds to be processed and credited to your account. If you used a credit card to make your purchase we will credit the same card number. If you made your purchase with a bank transfer we will refund you back to the same account.
Faulty Items
If any of our pieces develop a fault, contact us immediately with your name, address, Corazon Latino order number and details of the problem. Legally, we are only obliged to provide a refund or replacement if this occurs within 28 days BUT we believe you should be delighted with our jewellery years after you buy it, so tell us the problem and we will do our best to help you. Once we've agreed the refund, repair or replacement, we will let you know how to return the item to us and, on receipt, we will arrange to replace or fully refund your order whichever you prefer. This covers any item of jewellery acknowledged by us to be faulty, providing such faults have not been caused by misuse, accident, negligent handling or improper care of the goods - your product will need to be inspected before reimbursement.
Damaged Items
Inspect any package thoroughly before accepting/signing for it. In the unlikely event that your order is damaged in transit, keep the original packaging and contact us immediately with your Corazon Latino order number and details of the problem. It is your responsibility to notify us of any damaged goods within 14 days of delivery. We will confirm how to return the item to us and, on receipt, arrange to replace or fully refund your order whichever you prefer. Your product will need to be inspected before reimbursement.
Unwanted Items
If you are not entirely delighted with the goods you have chosen, provided your purchase remains unused and in saleable condition we will be happy to accept the product back for refund or exchange up to 3 months after receipt without question. This refund does not extend to the cost of returning the goods to us and your product will need to be inspected before reimbursement to ensure it is in saleable condition. Goods returned damaged will be refunded but a % of the cost will be deducted to cover the diminished value of the goods.
The refund does not extend to the cost of gift wrapping which is a one off, added value service which cannot be recouped. Nor does is extend to any premium shipping services you chose to pay for above and beyond the free Uk delivery or standard international delivery options we offer.
For reasons of hygiene we regret that we are unable to refund or replace any earrings other than where faults in manufacture can be demonstrated.
This does not affect your statutory rights. Your rights to return goods are protected under the EU Consumer contracts Regulations which can be found here.
REFUND OF RETURN POSTAGE
If your jewellery is faulty or damaged when it arrives we will cover the cost of all return postage. If you are returning the item because you have changed you mind or it does not fit, then the cost of return postage must be covered by you.
