Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions govern your use of the Picture Frames Buddy website, and any contract entered into between you (the customer) and us (Picture Frames Buddy or the company). By using the website, you signify your agreement to these terms and conditions. If you do not agree with them, you should discontinue use of the website. You must agree to these terms and conditions prior to submitting an order.

Price

Price matching

While we cannot guarantee to price match a competitor’s product, which in our opinion is inferior or unreasonably priced as a ‘loss leader,’ we do monitor our competitors online, and will endeavour to offer a balance between quality and value. If you find what you believe to be a comparable product at a lower price, please contact us with the details and we will consider it.

Pricing

  1. Prices on this site include VAT.
  2. The price excludes delivery, unless otherwise stated.

Cancellation

In accordance with UK Distance Selling laws, if you need to cancel an order prior to manufacture or despatch, you may do so by contacting us quoting your order number and reason for cancellation. However, the way in which we handle your request will depend on several factors.

  1. If you cancel an order before it has been processed, we will cancel the order and refund any monies paid to us in the same way they were paid, minus any processing fees we incur.
  2. If the order is for a standard product which has already been processed and despatched, you will not be able to cancel the order (even if this is with the 7 day ‘cooling off period’) but you will be able to return the products to us through our returns procedure for a full refund. You may incur costs in returning the goods, however.
  3. If you have ordered personalised or custom manufactured products and these have been made for you (even if they have not yet been despatched) we regret we are unable to cancel or refund the order, as these items are unsalable to other customers.

Additionally, if we fail to deliver your order within a reasonable time and have not contacted you to discuss any issues, you may cancel the order. We may also refuse or cancel an order if payment is not received.

Please Note: If you request a cancellation, your order is not cancelled until you receive written confirmation of the cancellation from us.

Payment

  1. You must pay for your order when placing it through the Picture Frames Buddy website. If you use an alternative ordering method (such as via email, telephone or personal contact with one of our representatives) we must still receive payment in advance or processing or manufacturing all orders.
  2. If your payment fails to complete, your order will not be processed.
  3. Payment must be made in Pounds Sterling.

Specifications

Because we work with natural materials, we cannot guarantee each batch will have the exact same colour as previous batches, and we work with a tolerance for sizing to make fitting pictures and glazing into frames easier. Because of this, if you have previously bought products from us, you may find that repeat orders are from a different batch and do not match exactly. If you need a large quantity of products and need them to match, contact us prior to ordering.

Also, due to the limitations of digital technology, the product you receive may not exactly match the colour and tone of the digital image used to represent it on the website.

  1. Tone & shade of product may vary slightly to that displayed digitally
  2. Tone & shade of product may vary slightly between orders
