Terms of service
1. Dispatch & Delivery
Availability: While we strive to maintain accurate stock levels, availability is not guaranteed. Content on this site does not constitute a binding offer for sale.
Lead Times: Delivery windows are specified on individual product listings. If an order cannot be fulfilled within the stated timeframe, we will notify you via email with a revised dispatch date.
Large Item Deliveries: For oversized items, our team will contact you at least 48 hours in advance (Monday–Friday) to schedule a delivery slot.
Delays: Esmae & Rose is not liable for delays caused by external factors such as extreme weather, courier volume spikes, technical failures, or customs clearance for international orders.
2. Damage in Transit (24-Hour Rule)
All goods must be inspected immediately upon delivery.
Reporting Window: Any damage must be reported via email (sales@esmaeandrose.com) or telephone within 24 hours of receipt. Reports made after this window will void our transit insurance coverage.
Evidence: Photographic evidence of the damage and packaging is required for all insurance claims.
Signing for Goods: You must inspect items before signing. If you cannot inspect the goods at the time of delivery, you must sign as "UNCHECKED" or "DAMAGED." A clean signature may invalidate future claims for transit damage.
3. Pricing, Taxes & Duties
Taxes: All prices include VAT where applicable. For non-EU deliveries, VAT will be deducted at checkout.
Shipping Surcharges: Standard shipping is calculated at checkout. Deliveries to the Scottish Highlands, non-mainland UK, or international addresses may incur additional surcharges.
Import Duties: Customers outside the UK are responsible for all local import duties and taxes.
4. Cancellations & Returns
Free Returns: We are pleased to offer FREE returns on orders within 14 days of receipt.
Conditions for Full Refund: To qualify for a free return and a full refund, items must be:
1. Notified to our team within the 14-day window.
2. Returned in their original packaging.
3. In an unused, resalable condition.
Restocking Fees: * If an item is returned without its original packaging, we reserve the right to accept the return subject to a 20% restocking fee deducted from your refund.
We reserve the right to charge a 10% cancellation fee for orders cancelled before dispatch to cover administrative and processing costs.
Return Logistics: We arrange collection via our nominated courier and provide a label that must be printed and attached to parcel. We can arrange collection from your address or local drop off service (if available).
5. Product Representation
Variations: We use high-resolution photography; however, actual colours may vary slightly due to studio lighting, monitor settings, and browser limitations.
