Making a
contract with Hug Box

Hug Box tries to be as accurate as possible in all
communications however I do not guarantee that product descriptions or other
content is accurate, complete, reliable or error free.

Whilst every effort is used to ensure accuracy of description,
specifications and pricing there may be occasions where errors arise. Should
such a situation occur Hug Box cannot accept your order; in the event of a
mistake you will be contacted with a full explanation and a corrected offer.
The information displayed is considered as an invitation to treat not as a
confirmed offer for sale. The contract is confirmed upon supply of goods.

Images of
products on this website and across all Hug Box platforms are for illustrative
purposes only. Your goods may vary from the image shown on the website and will
not include any pictured accessories, unless specifically stated.

In the
unlikely event that a particular Hug Box is no longer available, or that I have
made a pricing mistake, I will advise you of this.

The
Hug Box contents are subject to change due to stock availability and to offer the
best possible value for customers. If an item becomes unavailable Hug Box will
replace it with an item of equal, or in many cases, greater value.

From time to time there may be information on the
Hug Box website that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions
that may relate to product descriptions, pricing and availability. I reserve the right to correct any errors inaccuracies
or omissions and to change or update information at any time without prior
notice. (Including after you have submitted your order) Hug Box apologises for
any inconvenience this may cause you. 

Every effort
has been made to accurately display the colours of the products which appear on
this website. However, Hug Box cannot guarantee that your monitor’s display of
any colour will accurately reflect the colour of the actual goods.

Whilst Hug Box
will try to be as accurate as possible, all information provided is approximate
and is provided in good faith.

Prices and availability of items are subject to change without notice. All prices quoted on the website are in UK pounds
sterling and any promotional prices only apply during the period stated. Hug
Box reserves the right to end any promotions at any time for any reason without
prior written warning.

This contract
is covered by Scottish Law.

By placing an
order with Hug Box, you agree to and accept Hug Boxes current terms, conditions
and privacy policy.

How to place an
order

You can use the
Hug Box website to place an order by selecting the products you wish to buy and
adding them to your basket.  Items you do
not require can be removed from your basket at any time.

If you prefer to order by email you can do so by emailing wendy@hugbox.co.uk.

Posting and
Packaging options and charges will be shown prior to you confirming your order.
If you have a very large or heavy order you will not be able to select a
courier method and it would be best to email Hug Box directly to confirm the
most effective and affordable way for you to receive your order.

You will be
required to pay for the goods in full at the time of ordering.

The Hug Box
website uses PayPal payment facilities for online purchases. PayPal allows you
to securely pay for your order by Credit or Debit Card, you do not need to
setup a PayPal account to pay using PayPal. If you would prefer to pay via any
other method please place your order by email where you will be advised of the
other options eg Bank Transfer or Cheque

Once your
order has been completed and is ready for dispatch I will normally send you an
email with the Courier Tracking information so you can see its progress. If you
do not receive your tracking information within 72 hours or on the day you
expect your Hug Box to be dispatched please let me know. Once your Hug Box is
ready for dispatch any changes may not be possible without incurring additional
charges or delays to your order. You will not be able to make changes to your
order once the Tracking information has been sent to you.

Delivery
Options and charges

Hug Box will send your order to your home or to your place of work and your order will normally be dispatched within 1 working day (longer during busy periods such as Christmas) Any estimated dispatch date can change without notice. In case of bank holidays and over other very busy periods (eg Christmas), please allow an extra two working days.

Hug Box aims to deliver
within the days specified by the chosen Courier however if your parcel is
delayed please allow 5 working days before contacting Hug Box where Hug Box
will work with you and the courier to resolve any issues. Hug Box will attempt
to contact you if we become aware of an unexpected delay. 

You
should tell Hug Box about any special delivery requirements or conditions when
you place your order.

Unfortunately
Hug Box cannot guarantee delivery on any specific day as the courier doesn’t
offer this service at this time, however if you are worried about not being in
to accept your order then it can be delivered to a local shop and picked up
whenever they are ready within 10 days. You will receive an email letting you
know when it is ready for you to collect.

Hug Box will normally use the Courier ‘Hermes’ https://www.myhermes.co.uk/ to deliver Hug Boxes and will operate within their terms and condition.

This is a
tracked courier option. I will send you the tracking information as soon as it
is available so you can see your parcels progress. If there is nobody at the
address to accept the order a card will normally be left notifying you of a
Delivery Attempt and instructions as to what to do next. The courier will
attempt to deliver your item twice after which time it will be returned to Hug
Box who reserves the right to charge you an additional
re-delivery charge. If your
Hug Box is being delivered to a large office or hospital Hug Box can not
guarantee that it will be delivered to the person named on the order. When
ordering for these places please be as specific as possible giving the
department, ward and full name to increase the chances of the Hug Box reaching
the correct person.

Standard
courier service will normally deliver within 3 working days however this is approximate
and delivery timescales and are not guaranteed. Your order may arrive in more
than one delivery and Hug Box cannot guarantee that your order will arrive on
any specific delivery date.

Hug Box can
normally deliver anywhere in the UK as long as there is a valid UK Post Code. Please
be aware that delivery to remote areas can take a little longer than normal. The
courier will not deliver to PO Boxes.

Your parcel
will be delivered to the address on your PayPal receipt unless you tell me
otherwise. You must be at home to accept delivery of your order, which is
normally between 9:00am and 8:00pm Monday-Friday. Hug Box will not accept
responsibility for loss or damage if you instruct the delivery company to leave
the goods unattended.

If you change
the delivery address once your Order has been dispatched to you, I reserve the
right to pass on any extra charges made by my carriers for redirecting your
delivery.

Please check
your order on delivery – any goods found to be missing or damaged should be
notified to the delivery driver at the time of delivery or Hug Box within 2
days.

Sometimes, for
reasons beyond Hug Boxes control we may be prevented from delivering your Order
as planned. These might include things such as accidents, breakdowns, fire,
flood, storm, severe weather, acts of god, war, riot, civil commotion,
malicious damage or the default of my suppliers. Hug Box will try to put things
right as soon as possible however I can’t be responsible where this causes
delay or failure in delivering your order.

Due to the Customs restrictions for different countries and the weight
of the Hug Box parcels Hug Boxes will only be sent within the UK.

If you think
your order is lost or damaged in transit, please let Hug Box know as soon as
possible, however please leave at least 5 working days after receiving your Tracking
Code before contacting Hug Box about a missing delivery, as this gives the
courier time to attempt delivery.

If you have
any issues with your order whatsoever I will need proof of purchase (e.g.
PayPal receipt) and your Orders Tracking Information to be able to help you as
much as possible. Without Proof of Purchase Hug Box may not be able to find
your order and help you.

Cancellation,
damages and returns

This policy
does not apply to goods ordered by businesses which are exempt from the
Distance Selling Regulations.

Please be
aware that FOOD is not covered by the Distance Selling Regulations HOWEVER Hug
Box does want you to be happy with your Hug Box Order.

You can cancel your Order at any time up to 30 working days after the day of delivery. To do this, please e-mail or write to Hug Box. You do not have to give any reason for cancellation. However, a brief explanation will help Hug Box to improve the service offered to customers in the future.

If you cancel, you should return the Hug Box and its full contents (uneaten and in good condition) within 14 days of cancellation to Hug Box, 9 Craigneith Court, East Kilbride, Scotland, G74 3SN. Items must be in original packaging, in all original boxes, packaging materials and the cost of returning the Hug Box is your responsibility. Your refund will be processed with 7 days of receiving your return . You must ensure that the goods are packaged adequately to protect against damage.

If you fail to
take reasonable care of your Hug Box before it is returned, and this results in
damage or deterioration, you will not receive a full refund of the purchase
price. I
strongly recommend that you fully insure the package that you are returning. I
suggest the use of a carrier that can provide you with a proof of delivery. Hug Box will not be held responsible for items lost or damaged in
transit.

Hug Box tries very hard to ensure that you receive your Hug Box as you have specified in your order. However Human error can occur so if you do not receive the products you ordered please contact Hug Box within 2 days of receipt. In the unusual event that the product arrives damaged, please contact Hug Box immediately, and within 2 days of receipt.

Damaged goods
are classed as the contents within the Hug Box and not the Cardboard Hug Box
itself. If there is a problem with the contents of the Hug Box, please notify
Hug Box as soon as possible and within 2 days of delivery providing details of
the problem. It’s helpful if you can provide Hug Box with a digital photograph
of the problem as this normally saves you having to return the goods for
inspection. I will deal with the matter in accordance with your legal rights.

If an exchange
is necessary, this will be arranged without unreasonable delay and without
charge. Replacement goods will not be dispatched until the original goods have
been received and checked.

The cost of returning
goods to Hug Box is your responsibility, however on inspection I will refund
your reasonable postage costs, providing that the goods are found to be wrong
or damaged.

Items located
near any source of heat or steam should be protected either by heat deflectors
or other suitable protection.

If an item is
no longer available I will offer an alternative. However my liability will be
to replace the damaged goods only and I am unable to guarantee an exact match.
In this instance you will have the option of a refund.

All refunds will be made with 14 days.

cancel an order without a mutual agreement between them and Hug Box.
