You will not be entitled to a refund or an exchange where any Items ordered and paid for are bespoke or made to your personal requirements, measurements, choice of colour, materials etc. whether in part or full, and/or the manufacturing aspect of the Items involve any input from you whether done by you or anyone hired by you (“Bespoke Items”).
  8. Please check your measurements and measuring tools before placing an order as we cannot be liable for mistakes made by you and you will be committed to pay for the full order for items considered to be Bespoke Items.

In such cases we will not process payment until we are able to confirm the Items are in stock and will be shipped to you.
  18. We retain ownership of Items ordered until such time as we have received full payment for such Items and delivered the same to you whereupon title will pass to you.
  19. Notwithstanding clause 18, the risk of any loss or damage to the Items passes from us to you once delivery has been made to you or you have been notified that the Items are ready for collection.
  20. If you are an EU or non-EU resident, VAT will not be charged although you will be responsible for local import charges and taxes levied in your country of residence.
