All other terms, conditions or other representations are excluded from the Contract, including any terms and conditions which the Purchaser may purport to apply under any Contract and these Terms and Conditions shall prevail and shall govern the Contract to the entire exclusion of any express or implied terms (to the extent permitted by law).

Adra shall not be liable in any way for any such variation or the consequences thereof.

5. DELIVERY

5.1 Any time or date given for delivery of the Items whether specified in the Order or otherwise given by Adra shall be taken as an estimate made by Adra in good faith but shall not be binding upon Adra as a term of the Contract or otherwise.

5.3 Adra will not be liable for delays in the delivery caused by their distributors or any other third party.

The Purchaser shall hold on trust for Adra any insurance monies received as a result of such loss or damage.

5.5 Where Items are delivered by instalments under the Contract each installment shall be deemed to be sold under a separate Contract and any failure on the part of Adra for the delivery of a particular installment or any defects in workmanship or materials affecting any particular installment shall not entitle the Purchaser to repudiate the Contract with regard to any installments remaining deliverable or to refuse or withhold payment for any Items delivered.

5.6 The Purchaser agrees that section 32(3) of the Sale of Items Goods 1979 shall not apply to Items sent by Adra.

6. NOTICE OF NON-DELIVERY, SHORTAGE OR DAMAGED GOODS

7.2 The Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchaser is in possession of the Items solely as a bailee of Adra until such time as the full price thereof is paid in full and cleared funds to Adra under Clause 7.1 above.

8. PRICE

8.1 All prices quoted are inclusive of VAT and unless specifically stated are based upon costs current at the date of quotation.

8.2 The Purchaser is responsible for the payment of all costs relating to the delivery, packaging and other applicable taxes and levies in relation to the Items.

8.3 The price of Items may be subject to variation to take account of variations in labour, materials or other costs since the date of Adra's quotation or (if no quotation is issued) the Purchaser's Order. Adra accordingly reserves the right to adjust the invoice price payable by the amount of an increase or decrease in such costs after the price is quoted and the invoice so adjusted shall be payable as if it were the original Contract price.

9. PAYMENT

9.1 All prices on the Website are quoted in pounds sterling (£). The price of any Item will be as quoted on the Website from time to time, except in cases of manifest error.

9.2 The Website contains a large number of Items and it is always possible that, despite Adra's best efforts, some Items listed on the Website may be incorrectly priced. Adra will normally verify the price as part of its despatch procedures so that, where an Item's correct price is less than the price stated on the Website, the Purchaser will be charged the lower of these two prices. If an Item's correct price is higher than the price quoted on the Website, Adra will, at its sole discretion, either contact the Purchaser for instructions before despatching the incorrectly priced Item or reject the Order in respect of the Item and notify the Purchaser accordingly.

9.3 Adra accepts payment via Visa, MasterCard, Maestro/Solo, Visa Debit/Electron, American Express or PayPal.

9.4 If the Purchaser is shopping from outside the UK, the Purchaser`s credit card company will convert the transaction to the Purchaser`s own local currency. Payment of any additional charges levied as a result of such currency conversions shall be the Purchaser's sole responsibility. Any customs or import duties levied once the Item reaches the Purchaser`s destination country will be the Purchaser's responsibility as Adra has no control over these charges and cannot predict them.

9.5 The Purchaser's credit/debit card will be authorised as soon as is reasonably practicable after the Purchaser’s Order is placed and processed but the Purchaser will not be charged for the value of the Items until they are despatched.

9.6 Prices and availability of Items are subject to change without notice but changes will not affect orders in respect of which Adra has sent a confirmation of despatch. A postage and packing charge will be added to the Order where relevant and as quoted on the Website.

9.7 A confirmation email will be sent when an Order is placed.

9.8 If the Purchaser fails to make any payments when due Adra may at its option and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which it may have under the contract:

9.8.1 suspend any further deliveries until payment is made; and/or

9.8.2 repudiate the Contract;

and Adra shall be entitled to charge interest (both before and after judgment) on the outstanding balance of all overdue accounts from the date of the invoice until the time of payment calculated on a daily basis at a rate of 4% above the base rate from time to time of Natwest Bank Plc.

9.9 Time for payment is of the essence for the purposes of the Contract.

9.10 The Purchaser shall not be entitled to withhold payment of any amount payable under the Contract (or any other contract between the parties) because of a disputed claim of the Purchaser in respect of faulty Items or any other breach of contract, nor shall the Purchaser be entitled to set-off against any amount payable under the Contract (or any other contract between the parties) to Adra any monies which are or are purported to be payable by Adra.

11.1 If the Purchaser is contracting as a Consumer (as defined in the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000), the Purchaser may cancel the Contract and return the Items within fourteen working days, beginning on the day after delivery of the Products. In this case, the Purchaser will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Items in accordance with our refunds policy. The provisions of the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 do not apply to personalised goods and Adra will not offer refunds on such Items (unless such Items are faulty).

11.2 Cancelled Orders must be returned to Adra immediately, in the same condition in which they were received by the Purchaser and at the Purchaser's own cost and risk. The Purchaser has a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Items whilst they are in his/her possession.

11.3 All returned Items must be un-used and sent back in their original packaging.

11.4.1 because the Purchaser has cancelled the Contract in accordance with Clause 11.1 above, Adra will process the refund due to the Purchaser as soon as is reasonably possible and in any event within 30 days of the Purchaser giving notice of the cancellation. In these circumstances, Adra will refund the price of the Item in full. However, the Purchaser will be responsible for the cost of returning the Item to Adra.

11.4.2 If the reason for the returning of the Item is that the Purchaser believes the Item to be defective, Adra will carry out such tests as are reasonably necessary to test the functionality of the Item. If, having conducted such tests, Adra comes to the reasonable conclusion that the Item is of a satisfactory quality within the meaning of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 as amended, Adra shall be under no obligation to offer any refund and may at its sole discretion elect to either:

11.4.2.1 offer a partial or full refund as Adra deems fit;

11.4.2.2 send the original Item back to the Purchaser at the Purchaser's expense; or

11.4.2.3 carry out such reasonable alternative action as Adra deems fit.

11.5 When returning Items, it is the Purchaser’s responsibility to arrange and pay for the return of the Items to Adra. The Purchaser should ensure that all parcels are sealed and well protected and that the Purchaser has completed and enclosed the return form.

11.6 Adra strongly recommends that the Purchaser obtains proof of posting of any returned Items as Adra cannot accept responsibility for returned Items that are lost or damaged in transit.

11.7 Postage and packing costs incurred by the Purchaser in connection with returned Items are not refundable unless the goods are faulty or incorrect.

11.8 For reasons of hygiene Adra is unable to refund or exchange pierced earrings.
