ORDERS

All orders are subject to acceptance and availability. If any goods ordered are shown to be in stock but are not available, you will be notified by email and you will have the option either to wait until the item is available or to cancel your order. It is your responsibility to provide us with a valid email address so that we can contact you if necessary. Any orders placed by you will be treated as an offer to purchase the goods or services from us and we have the right to reject such offers at any time prior to acceptance.

We reserve the right to change any services, product prices, product specifications and availability at any time. All prices and descriptions supersede all previous publications. Furthermore, Miratis reserves the right to restrict multiple quantities of an item being shipped to any one customer or postal address.

All product descriptions are approximate. It is important to remember that each of the items available to purchase from the Miratis website is handmade and therefore unique. As such the product may vary slightly from the image shown on the Website.

Every effort is made to keep information regarding stock availability on the Website up to date. However, we do not guarantee that this is the case, or that stock will always be available. Furthermore, please note that some items show a lead time. Consequently if you order an item with a lead time you will be required to make payment at the time of your order for your purchase. Your rights regarding advance purchase are the same as those for any other purchase at Miratis.

Please note that items in your shopping basket are not reserved and may be purchased by other customers.

If you have seen a product that you like and would like it by a given date, please contact us at info@miratis.com and we will endeavor to help you.

You shall be responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the details provided on the order form and we will not accept an order unless all details requested on the order form have been entered correctly.

 

ORDER PROCESS

In order to make purchases through the Site, you will be requested to provide your personal details. Customers must provide their name, phone number, e-mail address and any other requested information as indicated. When ordering items, you will be required to provide payment details and you represent and warrant that the payment details you provide on ordering are correct . Orders will only be accepted from persons over the age of 18. Orders may be accepted from persons resident outside the United Kingdom at the discretion of Miratis Limited.

By making an offer to purchase items on this Site, you authorise us to undertake credit checks and, if deemed necessary by Miratis, to transmit or to obtain information (including any updated information) about you to or from third parties from time to time, including but not limited to your credit-card number or credit reports (including credit reports for your spouse if you reside in a community property jurisdiction), to confirm your identity, to validate your credit card, to obtain an initial credit card authorisation and to authorise individual purchase transactions.

Moreover, you agree that Miratis may use Personal information provided by you in order to conduct anti fraud checks.

Please see our Privacy Policy for further information about how we use your data.

 

ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR ORDER

You acknowledge that any automated acknowledgment of your order that you may receive from us shall NOT amount to our acceptance of your offer to purchase goods advertised on the Website.

Unless you cancel your order, acceptance of your order and completion of the contract between you and Miratis will be completed when we email you to confirm the goods have been dispatched. Unless you have contracted with the Designer-Maker to make a customized item for you, in which case the contract for the item will be completed at the time of order and should you wish to cancel you will be liable for the full cost of that item. The sale contract is therefore concluded in London, England and the language of the contract is English.

We reserve the right not to accept your order in the event, for example, that we are unable to obtain authorisation for payment, that shipping restrictions apply to a particular item, that the item ordered is out of stock, or that you do not meet the eligibility criteria set out within the T&C’s.

We may also refuse to process and therefore accept a transaction for any reason or refuse service to anyone at any time at our sole discretion. We will not be liable to you or any third party by reason of our withdrawing any product from the Site whether or not that product has been sold; removing, screening or editing any materials or content on the Site; refusing to process a transaction or unwinding or suspending any transaction after processing has begun.

Each item purchased is sold subject to additional specific terms and conditions relating to that item including, without limitation, terms and conditions concerning estimated delivery times and any warranties. Please ensure that you read such additional terms.

We are entitled to refuse any order placed by you and will not be required to provide an explanation.

PAYMENT

All prices are inclusive of VAT (where applicable) at the current rates and are correct at the time of entering the information onto the system. Prices quoted are for delivery (in the case of goods) in the United Kingdom unless otherwise specified. Prices are in Pounds Sterling unless otherwise specified.

We reserve the right, by giving notice to you, the buyer, at any time before delivery or performance to increase the price of goods or services to reflect any increase in the cost to us, which is due to any factor beyond our control (such as without limitation, any foreign exchange fluctuation, significant increase in the costs of labour, materials or other costs of manufacture).

In the unlikely event of there being such an increase in the price of goods or services you, the buyer, shall be entitled to cancel the order at any time before delivery or performance.

In the unlikely event that the price or description of an item or service has been incorrectly advertised, we will contact you by email, telephone or post to ask whether you wish to proceed with your order with the correct price or description. If you are not happy to proceed, or we are unable to obtain your instructions, we will cancel the order. Unless we have already dispatched or commenced performance of your order, we will not be obliged to supply products or provide services at the incorrect price or based on an incorrect description.

Payment can be made by any major credit or debit card or through an electronic payment account as explained on the order form.

Payment will be debited and cleared from your account at time of making your order, before the dispatch of your goods or provision of the service to you.

By placing an order, you, the buyer, consent to payment being charged to your debit/credit card account or electronic payment account as provided on the order form. Title to the goods will pass to you, the buyer, on delivery of the goods.

We will issue you with an electronic receipt to your email address once the goods have been dispatched.

When you pay for your order by credit or debit card, we carry out checks or 'authorisations' with the card issuer for security reasons. Should any problems occur with the authorisation of your card, we will contact you with further details

Payment can be made by Visa, Visa Electron, MasterCard, American Express, Delta, and Maestro debit cards and any other methods which may be clearly advertised on the Site from time to time. Payment will be debited and cleared from your account upon dispatch of your order. You confirm that the credit/debit card that is being used is yours or that you have been specifically authorised by the owner of the credit/debit card to use it. All credit/debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorise payment to Miratis, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.

We will take all reasonable care, in so far as it is in our power to do so, to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the Website.

All credit card transactions on this site are processed using Barclaycard, a secure online payment gateway that encrypts your card details in a secure host environment.

The price of a product displayed on the Site at the time the order is accepted will be honoured, except in cases of evident error.

 

DELIVERY

Goods will be delivered to you, the buyer, at the address provided by you when you place an order. We can only deliver to the address that is the billing address of your credit/debit card.

Goods requiring a signature must be signed for by an adult aged 18 years or over on delivery.

You will become the owner of goods you have ordered when they have been paid for and delivered to you.

Any dates quoted for delivery of goods are approximate only and we shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of goods however caused. If, however, we are unable to deliver your goods by the date quoted for delivery, you, the buyer, shall be entitled to cancel the order at any time before delivery takes place, unless the item ordered is a custom made item ordered to the purchaser’s specific requirements.

Please note that we aim to dispatch all orders within 48 hours. Estimated delivery timeframes are to be used as a guide only and commence from the date of dispatch.  "Delivered within" peiods refer to working days.

 

INSURANCE AND DELIVERY

It is at the discretion of the Designer-Maker as to which carrier they use. However, items are insured on each purchase during the time it is in transit until it is delivered to your specified delivery address. If we require a signature for any goods delivered, at the point that the item is signed for, responsibility for your purchased goods passes to you. If you have specified a recipient who is not you for delivery purposes (for example as a gift) then you accept that evidence of a signature by them (or at that delivery address) is evidence of delivery and fulfillment by Miratis and transfer of responsibility in the same way.
