3. Refunds will be made within 30 days of cancellation.
4. Refunds will only be made after the goods are received and when the goods are unused and undamaged and in the case of textiles, unwashed. We reserve the right not to refund for goods that have been specifically ordered for you from a supplier.

Conformity of Goods

We work very hard to ensure that the images on the website are accurate representations of the items depicted. 

However, customers should understand their personal perception of an image will depend on a number of variables, including: computer graphics card and/or software, computer monitor, browser software, and even their own eye sight. In other words: everybody sees colours differently.

Also, some images on the website (such as our various Adventure Pack images) show representative samples and not necessarily the exact item. Where ever this is the case, we make this clear to you.

Remember: If you are not satisfied with your purchase, you may return your goods for a full refund, subject to our Cancellation and Returns Policy.

Shipping by Post and Courier

Shipping options and cost are determined automatically by our system. The amount will be displayed clearly during the checkout process before you make your payment.

Details: Postage & Shipping

Billing and Delivery Address

If your billing address and delivery address are different and if for any reason we suspect that your card is being used in a fraudulent transaction, we will contact you at the email or telephone number you have given us. If we are not satisfied that the transaction is legitimate, will not ship the goods you have ordered. We will refund the payment to the payment card you used and notify the authorities.

Insurance

We will only insure goods at the customer's request. If the value of your order is greater than GBP100, we strongly recommend that you insure it. If requested, we will insure your goods and add that cost to your payment.

Currency

All transactions will be in UK Pounds Sterling (GBP).

If you would like a conversion into your own currency, there are many websites that do instant online conversions. For example: www.oanda.com Please be aware that online exchange rates and the rate used by your own bank or credit card company may be slightly different. Bank exchange rates are outside of our control.

Duty, Taxes, VAT and other charges

For orders shipped outside the UK:

• Any duty, tax, VAT, international transaction fee or any other charge that may be levied in the destination country is the sole responsibility of the recipient. We will not pay or refund any such levy.
• The declared value on any customs declaration form that we complete will be the true value of the goods. We will not fraudulently declare a lower value. 
• All prices on the website include UK VAT (sales tax) at the current rate. We will not refund VAT.
