6.4 You must observe and comply with all applicable regulations and legislation, including obtaining all necessary customs, import or other permits to purchase goods from our site. The importation or exportation of certain of our goods to you may be prohibited by certain national laws. We make no representation and accept no liability in respect of the export or import of the goods you purchase.
6.5 Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these terms and conditions is intended to limit any rights you might have as a consumer under applicable local law or other statutory rights that may not be excluded nor in any way to exclude or limit our liability to you for any death or personal injury resulting from our negligence.

7 Substitutions Policy
7.1 In the event that the products you have ordered are not available, we will contact you as quickly as possible either by telephone, e-mail or post, depending on what information you have supplied to us. We will ask you to select one of the following ways to proceed with your order:
7.1.1 Accept an alternative product, which we have recommended because it is similar in style, properties, ingredients and price, as a substitute for the missing product. This product will then be added to your order in place of the unavailable item, and will be invoiced in its own right at the relevant price. Under the Ethica guarantee, you can return this product and receive a replacement or a refund it is unsuitable for whatever reason; or
7.1.2 Cancel the missing product from your order and allow the remainder of your items to be processed and despatched as normal. If we have been unable to make contact with you to allow you to make this decision, we will cancel the product from your order and you will receive the balance of your order as normal. The invoice that accompanies this delivery will explain what action has been taken.

8 Notices
Unless otherwise expressly stated in these terms and conditions, all notices from you to us must be in writing and sent to our contact address at Unit E, Acacia Building, Vantage Point Business Village, Mitcheldean, GL17 0DD and all notices from us to you will be displayed on our website from to time.

9 Events beyond our control
We shall have no liability to you for any failure to deliver goods you have ordered or any delay in doing so or for any damage or defect to goods delivered that is caused by any event or circumstance beyond our reasonable control including, without limitation, strikes, lock-outs and other industrial disputes, breakdown of systems or network access, flood, fire, explosion or accident.

10 Invalidity
If any part of these terms and conditions is unenforceable (including any provision in which we exclude our liability to you) the enforceability of any other part of these conditions will not be affected.

11 Privacy
You acknowledge and agree to be bound by the terms of our privacy policy.

12 Third party rights
Except for our affiliates, directors, employees or representatives, a person who is not a party to this agreement has no right under the UK Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this agreement but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party that exists or is available apart from that Act.

13 Governing law
The contract between us shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with English law and the English courts shall have jurisdiction to resolve any disputes between us.

14 Charitable Donations
We make a donation to your chosen charity equal to 10% of the price you have paid, including VAT (if applicable) but excluding carriage. This equates to a net donation by us of 11.25% of the amount we receive after VAT. It is very expensive for charities to process payments for small amounts and so we make one annual payment to each charity. In the event that total charitable donations to any particular charity do not reach £10 in any one calendar year we will consolidate those donations not reaching that threshold and those donations will then be applied equally between our headline charities.

15 Entire agreement
These terms and conditions, together with our current website prices, delivery details, contact details and privacy policy, set out the whole of our agreement relating to the supply of the goods to you by us. Nothing said by any sales person on our behalf should be understood as a variation of these terms and conditions or as an authorised representation about the nature or quality of any goods offered for sale by us. Save for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, we shall have no liability for any such representation being untrue or misleading.

Making a purchase could not be easier. Just browse our store, and add any items that you wish to buy into the shopping cart. After you have finished your selection, click on 'Checkout' and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to complete the order.

We accept credit card payment. If you are shopping from North America or anywhere else, place your order and your credit card company will convert the transaction to US Dollars or your own currency.

We accept Visa and Mastercard. We do not charge for any item until it is ready to ship. Backordered items are not charged until they are shipped. You may send your credit card information via phone, fax, snail mail or over the Internet.

When confirmation of order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you an invoice. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.
