Terms & Conditions
Introduction
1.1 We are the seller of the goods as identified on the relevant sale listing. (Just to be clear – “we” and “us” to in this document do not refer to Kiddykind Limited which operates the platform.)
1.2 These are our terms and conditions which apply when you buy any goods from us via this site. They’re available in English only. We’ve tried to make them user-friendly but please note that the summaries/explanations for each section in capitals aren’t a
substitute for the rest of the text. Please read the entire document carefully and contact us if anything is unclear. Please save a copy as we don’t file a copy specifically for the transaction with you.
Who can buy
THIS SECTION EXPLAINS CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS THAT MAY MEAN THAT YOU AREN’T ALLOWED TO MAKE A PURCHASE FROM US ON THIS SITE
2.1 You are not allowed to buy any goods via this site if your main purpose is to use them to infringe our intellectual property or other legal rights.
Giving us accurate information
3.1 You must ensure that your order, including delivery address and any other information you supply to us, is correct and that you tell us immediately if there are any changes.
How you enter a legal contract with us
THIS SECTION EXPLAINS HOW AND WHEN YOU BECOME LEGALLY BOUND BY A CONTRACT WITH US
4.1 When you place an order, you are making an offer to buy from us.
4.2 You place your order by using the ordering process on the site. This involves selecting the goods, placing them in the shopping cart and sending your order by clicking on the “Pay Now” button. You can check and amend any mistake before making an order by using the change function and/or the internet browser back button.
4.3 We accept your offer and there is a binding legal contract when we send you a confirmation email. However, we are not obliged to supply any goods which are unavailable, even if we have accepted your offer. If any goods are unavailable, we will notify you of the unavailability as soon as possible and will cancel the order and arrange for a full refund if you have been charged.
Paying us
THIS SECTION EXPLAINS YOUR PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS
5.1 Payment is in advance. Prices and payment methods are as explained on our site. The prices shown include any applicable VAT or other sales tax unless we say otherwise. We are entitled not to send you the goods until we have received full payment in cleared funds.
5.2 The costs of delivery will be shown when you place your order and may depend on the delivery method chosen. NB Any delivery charges don’t include customs or import duties which may be applied to your order by the relevant authorities. We have no control of these and it is your separate responsibility to pay for them. We recommend that you check with your local customs office in advance.
5.3 If we have mis-priced any item by mistake, we are not obliged to supply the item at that price provided we tell you before we send it off. If we do, then you can decide if you want to order the item at the right price but, if you do not, we will cancel the order and provide a full refund of any payments already made.
5.4 You must contact us immediately with full details if you dispute any payment.
5.5 You agree that you are legally bound by the terms and conditions of any payment providers whose services you use when paying for our goods. We aren’t responsible for what they do or don’t do.
Discount codes
THIS SECTION EXPLAINS HOW YOU ARE ALLOWED TO USE DISCOUNT CODES ON OUR SITE
6.1 We may offer discount codes from time to time. All discount codes refer to the price excluding delivery charges. Such codes may only be applied to purchases made through the account in respect of which the discount code was offered and registered and are not transferrable or redeemable for cash. Unless otherwise stated: codes (1) are only available for future new orders placed online; (2) cannot be used retrospectively; (3) can only be redeemed once per customer (unless otherwise stated); and (4) expire after 12 months. You cannot use more than one discount code per transaction unless we state otherwise; if we do so, the order in which the codes are to be applied is in our sole discretion. We reserve the right to reject any discount code if we consider that it is being used in breach of these terms. Discount codes are subject to any additional specific terms and conditions which are specified at the point of issue. We reserve the right to discontinue or otherwise modify any discount codes at any time without prior notice.
Our right to end the contract
7.1 We are entitled to end this contract at any time including not sending you the goods if:
- any amount due to us is unpaid (including unjustifiable chargeback);
- you or anyone on your behalf acts inappropriately towards our staff; or
- acting reasonably, we think that it is necessary to protect you, us or others.
Delivery
THIS SECTION EXPLAINS OUR AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES IN CONNECTION WITH DELIVERY
8.1 Delivery will be complete when we deliver to the address you give us when ordering. We may deliver different parts of your order on different dates.
8.2 Delivery is only to the countries we specify on the website and is otherwise subject to any geographical or other restrictions we have explained. We have the right to cancel any order for delivery to a location to which we don’t deliver (even if there is a legal contract). You agree to pay us any additional delivery costs we incur if we decide to deliver outside our normal delivery area.
8.3 Unless we say otherwise, delivery timescales on the website are estimates only. We aren’t responsible for delays in delivery (a) if due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control and where we could not have taken reasonable steps to deal with the delay or (b) if you haven’t given us adequate delivery instructions.
8.4 If you receive notification of an unsuccessful attempted delivery, you agree to use the details provided to immediately contact the courier to arrange re-delivery.
8.5 If the goods can’t be delivered because you haven’t complied with this contract (e.g., giving us the wrong delivery address, not paying customs/import charges, not contacting the courier to arrange re-delivery after an unsuccessful delivery attempt) and are sent back to us, you must pay us the amount of any resulting courier or warehouse fees that we have to pay other people. We can insist that such costs be paid before we arrange re-delivery and/or add them to any future order you make and/or to deduct them from any refund (to the extent legally allowed).
Small differences in the goods
THIS SECTION EXPLAINS THAT THE GOODS OR PACKAGING MAY (LEGITIMATELY) BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT TO WHAT YOU EXPECT
9.1 We take reasonable care to ensure that the images and descriptions of goods appearing on the website display the appearance / colour / texture / finish of our goods as accurately as possible. However, there may be minor differences between the goods you receive and the way that they appear on the website. For example, the colour tone may differ.
9.2 The labelling or packaging of the goods you receive may differ from the images of these which you see on our site.

Restrictions on our legal responsibility for goods – very important

CONTRACT
11.1 Nothing in this agreement in any way limits or excludes our liability for negligence causing death or personal injury or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation or for anything which may not legally be excluded or limited. In this section, any reference to us includes our employees and agents, who have the right to enforce this agreement.
11.2 We are under a legal duty to supply goods that are in conformity with the contract. Nothing in our agreement affects your legal rights relating to goods that don’t conform with the contract, whether because they are faulty, not as described or otherwise.

11.3 We are not responsible for any loss or damage where:
- there is no breach of a legal duty owed to you by us;
- such loss or damage was not reasonably foreseeable (meaning it was not an obvious consequence of our breach or not contemplated by you and us at the time we entered into this contract);
- (and to the extent that) such loss or damage is your fault, for example by not complying with this agreement; or
- such loss or damage relates to a business (as we do not intend for goods bought by Consumers to be used for business).
11.4 You will be responsible to us for any reasonably foreseeable loss or damage we suffer (including claims made by other people) resulting from your breach of this agreement.
Software
THIS SECTION IMPOSES CONDITIONS ON USE OF ANY SOFTWARE INCLUIDED IN OUR PRODUCT
12.1 To the extent that our goods incorporate any software, you must not reverse- engineer or decompile any of our software in any way (except to the extent allowed by applicable law).

You must take reasonable steps to ensure that our software is not disclosed to any third party.
Things we can’t control
THIS SECTION EXPLAINS THAT WE AREN’T RESPONSIBLE FOR “ACTS OF GOD”

Transferring this contract to someone else
THIS SECTION EXPLAINS HOW WE CAN PASS THIS CONTRACT TO SOMEONE ELSE BUT YOU NEED OUR PERMISSION TO DO LIKEWISE
14.1 We may transfer all or part of our rights or duties under this agreement provided we take reasonable steps to ensure that your rights under this agreement are not prejudiced.
