4. Terms of Use & Purchase
4.1 General Provisions & Content
4.1.1 These Terms create an agreement between you and us and determine the terms and conditions of use for this Website and for the purchase of goods on this Website.
4.1.2 The purpose of this Website is to present our company, its background, its products and services. We also provide an on-line shop, where customers can buy a range of BELT DESIGNS products to be delivered nationally and internationally. Although we have endeavoured to make sure that all content is correct and up-to date, some minor errors may appear, for which we cannot be held responsible. Moreover, because this Website is accessible from many parts of the World, it is in your interest to ensure that viewing the content of this Website or using our services does not infringe local laws.
4.2 Descriptions & Product Information
4.2.1 Although we endeavour to give as accurate and complete descriptions as possible of the Goods sold on this Website, we cannot be held responsible for the minor errors that may occur.
4.2.2 Moreover, we have taken as many product pictures as possible, from different angles, to show you as many product features as possible and to help you choose the right Goods to purchase. However, due to different screen resolutions and the complexity of some colours and photography angles, we cannot guarantee that what you see on screen will accurately reflect the actual Goods.
In the unlikely event that you should not be satisfied with the Goods that you receive, please refer to our Returns Policy below in clause 4.6.
4.2.3 Our products are made from aniline vegetable tanned leather. This is one of the most natural types of leather and is considered to be a very high quality product within the leather industry. Soluble dyes are used in aniline leather that penetrate the hide giving the leather its rich colour. In order to maintain the natural feel and look of the hide no protective coating or surface pigmentation is applied. Additionally, the leathers maintain their natural markings and texture which contributes to the authenticity of the leather. However, the lack of treatment might render the leathers more susceptible to scratching, staining, or fading and might show some colour variations on the surface of the hide. Also due to the type of dyes used in Aniline leather the colour can sometimes transfer from the leather to other items particularly lighter garments. Therefore please note that we cannot guarantee this will not occur when wearing or using our products. Belt Designs accepts no liability with regards to colour transfer from any of our articles.
4.3 Purchasing, Pricing & Tax
4.3.1 All prices shown on our Website are in UK Sterling (£, GBP). The price displayed is the price paid by all purchasers.
4.3.2 Goods sent outside the UK maybe liable for further customs duty (import tax). We cannot be held responsible for any delays or further costs due to customs procedures and duty taxes. The carrier will generally ask the recipient to pay for this import tax.
4.3.3 To purchase a product, simply click on the appropriate button to add it to your shopping bag, then continue browsing and/or access your basket to check out. Then simply follow the guidelines on each new page to review your selected Goods, set the billing and delivery details and finally pay for the Goods via the secure e-commerce gateway or Paypal.
4.3.4 All information on our Website is an invitation to treat only and is not an offer or unilateral contract. Your order represents an offer by you to purchase the Goods. We will acknowledge receipt of your order without delay by sending a confirmation email. Please note however that such confirmation email does not constitute acceptance of your order. We do hold most items in stock but we sometimes make to order and therefore there may be a small waiting time of a few days before we can despatch your goods.
4.3.5 The sale will only be binding on us once we have notified you that the order is accepted and the Goods have been despatched by us. This means that if Goods are shown on our Website but are not available or are incorrectly priced or otherwise incorrectly described, we shall not be obliged to sell you such Goods. Your card will be charged when you submit your order but should we be unable to fulfill the order it will be refunded at the earliest opportunity.
4.3.6 We currently accept most major credit/debit cards in our secure payment gateway including American Express.

4.5.1 All Goods are presented in protective wrapping. We then safely pack all your purchased Goods in a despatch box (or padded Jiffy bag for small accessories such as leather keepers/loops), ready for delivery.
4.5.2 We deliver goods globally. Transit time for each delivery will vary depending on the destination. In any event, delivery times are given as estimates and we cannot be held responsible for minor delays. Estimated delivery times can be seen on our Shipping Prices page. Goods are usually despatched within two working days of receipt of the order if despatched from our UK warehouse so if your order is received on Thursday or Friday it may not be despatched until early the following week. However if you have selected an Express Delivery Service we always aim to despatch the same or following working day. We do not despatch over the weekend and orders received during this time will be despatched during the following week.
If we receive orders on 23rd and 24th December (and these occur on working days) it is unlikely they will be despatched until the first or second UK working day after Christmas – please check with us before placing your order during this time if you need the item urgently. Some orders received between 27th and 31st December may also not be despatched until the first or second working day in the New Year as there is a limited postal service during this time and our craftsmen may not be available to make the items ordered. We try to despatch as much as possible during the interim period between Christmas Day and New Years Eve but its not always possible to despatch all orders until after the Christmas and New Year holiday time.
4.5.3 The cost of delivery will appear on your shopping list only when you have added the desired Goods to your shopping basket and entered the country the Goods are to be delivered to. The delivery price depends on the country the Goods are to be delivered to. Delivery cost is based on the delivery address and method of shipping selected.
4.5.4 If, at the time of delivery, the packaging is damaged, please open the package in the presence of the carrier in order to verify the condition of the Goods. In the event of damage to the Goods, you should note down the details and then notify us via email as soon as possible then follow our Returns Policy (see clause 4.6).
4.5.5 We shall replace, free of charge any Goods damaged or lost in transit where delivery has been made by our carrier, provided that:
4.5.6 you give us written notification of such damage or loss, in the case of loss: within a reasonable time period of the anticipated delivery date after you placed your order, in order that we may comply with our carrier’s conditions of carriage;

We cannot refund you if we do not receive the Goods.
4.6.8 A refund can only be raised for the returned Goods once the undamaged and unused Goods have been received. If the Goods were returned due to a fault or because they were damaged in transit then we will also reimburse you for the cost of the return carriage once the faulty or damaged Goods have been received and inspected however please note we will not cover the cost of unreasonable courier shipping fees when a lower cost option is available.

If you return only part of your order we do not refund the delivery fee.
If we offered a free delivery service for orders over a specific value and you subsequently choose to return part of your ordered items that result in the total value of the purchase being below the threshold for a free delivery service then the standard delivery fee will be deducted from the refund.
We do not refund delivery fees or returned postage fees for returned International orders. The return postage and packaging costs incurred by you are not refundable. All return costs shall be borne by you – the customer unless we have provided a free returns label. We will endeavour to reimburse your payment within 5 (five) working days of receipt of the Goods and we will email you a notification.
