Our Polices

 

 

DESCRIPTION OF GOODS:

 

UK Violins make every reasonable effort to ensure that the information displayed about a product is as accurate as possible.  We also publish information in good faith, that has been given to us by manufacturers about their products. There will be the odd occasion where there is variation in either the finish, colour or other details from the pictured product.  We will always do our very best to inform the purchaser in this situation, and will always try accommodate a customer if there is a significant variation to the product, which may influence it’s desirability to the customer.  We are not able, however, to assume responsibility for erroneous product information provided to us by our suppliers.

 

 

RETURNS: 

 

We hope that you will be happy with your purchase, however, under UK law, there is also a 7 day cooling-off period, during which the purchaser may cancel the contract. This period commences once the goods are received by the purchaser (receipt of goods). If you wish to do this you must notify us by email to info@ukviolins.com. This excludes items that cannot be re-sold once opened – such as sealed strings, or rosin.  You must then return the goods at your own expense in the original packaging and condition.

If the goods are faulty (or not what was ordered), then please contact us within 7 days by email or in writing and we will arrange return at our own expense.

The effective cancellation date of the contract is the date the return is sent. We will refund the purchase price of the goods to the purchaser once the goods have been received back in their original condition.

 

Goods being returned are to be sent to:

UK Violins

726 Preston Old Road

Feniscowles

Blackburn

Lancashire 

BB2 5EP

 

 

SHIPPING INFORMATION:

 

We aim to ship items purchased within 24 hours from receipt of your order. Most orders are supplied directly from our stock on the day we receive them. All items are, however, subject to availability but we will endeavour to inform you, via email, as soon as possible if the goods you have ordered are for any reason not available. Please ensure, therefore, that the contact information supplied at the point of order is correct.

Delivery charges are shown at the point of checkout on the website. Please note that shipping charges include packaging and handling costs.

The shipping method will be shown during the checkout process. Where appropriate you will be issued with a tracking number so that you may track the status of your delivery. If you have any questions or queries about your shipment please contact us via email using info@ukviolins.com quoting both your order number and tracking number where appropriate.

Please note that some countries may impose import or other taxes on your purchase and that these are not covered by the shipping charges and are solely the responsibility of the purchaser.

Shortage of goods or damage must be notified to us by either email info@ukviolins.com or telephone 01254 209943 within 3 days of receipt and confirmation in writing within seven days of delivery or no claim can be accepted. Delivery of obviously damaged goods should be refused. Notifications should include your order reference number, a list of quantities and types of products damaged and full details of the damage or fault. Photos are recommended where possible.  Damaged goods must be returned for inspection prior to re-delivery, replacement or re-imbursement where appropriate.

Liability cannot be accepted for goods if notification is not received within 10 days of the date of invoice/payment notification. This means in the event of items being lost in the post, if you have not received goods within 10 working days and make no enquiry, UK Vioilns cannot accept liability for replacing the order. If, for any reason, goods have not been despatched, UK Violins will make every effort to do so upon notification.

No liability is accepted by UK Violins for any consequential loss or damage whatsoever, however caused.

 

 

PRICES:

 

The Prices for the Goods or Services are excluding packing, insurance and carriage, which are added on at the point of sale.

Prices invoiced are calculated in respect of the quantity of Goods or Services actually delivered and hours of Services provided irrespective of the quantity in respect of which any quotation was issued.

Please note that prices may be adjusted at any time by UK Violins without notice.  This may be due to price increases passed to us by our suppliers or through other costs incurred by us in stocking the product.

If a price is adjusted, we will contact you and ask if you still wish to proceed with the order at the amended price. If we are unable to contact you or you do not wish to proceed, we will cancel the order and refund you the entire cost of the order.

 

 

RECCURING PAYMENTS: 

 

Reccuring payments maybe cancelled after notification in writing, however if the payments have been ended early then the goods must be returned at the expense of the customer within ten days. Fequency of the reccuring payments is determined at the point of sale, usually every month for a determined number of months until the goods have been paid off in full. The terms of the length of the payment is determined upon the point of sale.
