Product Description and Specifications and Unavailability

We have taken great care to ensure that the goods displayed on this website and in our brochures conform to the descriptions and photographs. The colors, specifications, dimensions and descriptions of items on the website and brochures are quoted as accurately as possible. However, the color clarity you see will depend on the resolution of your monitor and each leather can differ slightly in color and we therefore cannot guarantee that the color of the actual good delivered is absolutely accurate. We reserve the right from time to time to vary the dimensions, specifications, descriptions and quantities of items displayed on our website without prior notice.

All products are subject to availability. We will inform you as soon as reasonably possible in the event that the goods you have ordered are unavailable. In the event that the goods that you have ordered are unavailable a full refund will be offered.

Shipping

Once placed, it may not be possible to prevent an order from shipping. Similarly, once shipped we may be unable to stop delivery or cancel the order. For full information of our delivery services and charges for delivery including whether shipping price is included or not included with the displayed price, please consult our FAQ, here. Delivery may be subject to customs inspections and delays. If you order a number of items for delivery to the same address, they may be shipped separately and we cannot guarantee delivery on the same day. We make every effort to ship items on time.

Cancellations, Refunds, and Return

Please refer to our FAQ, here, for our cancellation, refunds, and return policies.

Risk

Products sold on this website are used at the risk of the end users, some products if used incorrectly or in the wrong way or by anyone under the age of 18 may cause undue or unnecessary harm- please be aware of this and use caution in using our products correctly. The customer who buys our products should use them in a safe manner and should be aware that incorrect use may cause harm or distress, for which the customer agrees to hold harmless TES by agreeing to purchase from our websites

Payment

All payments for goods must be made when the order is placed. We will not reserve or dispatch goods before payment is received. Ownership of the goods will pass to you only after we have received payment in full and the goods have been dispatched. We cannot accept checks or cash as payments online. Please note we cannot guarantee the security of data when communicating with TES via email or fax. Accordingly please do not send us payment information using those mediums.

We will not be liable to you for any losses caused as a result of unauthorized access to the personal and transactional information you provide us with when placing an order.

Prices

Products are invoiced at the price on the website at the time of your order. Prices displayed in brochures and on the website include Value Added Tax which will be applied at the current rate where applicable. Products might be subject to variation. If there is an error we will contact you as soon as possible and you will have the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to reach you, your order for the incorrectly priced item will be cancelled, and we are not obliged to honor such orders. Except where otherwise noted, the delivery charge is an additional cost. Please refer to our FAQ for full details on our shipping policies.

Customs & Excise Duties Payable By The Customer

Please note that unless explicitly stated otherwise all prices quoted on our website exclude any applicable import duties, taxes and fees, local import tax, customs or excise duties which is levied and deemed payable by the customer when the goods land at the destination country. You, the customer, are responsible for import duties, taxes and fees, local import tax, customs or excise duties, incurred on your purchases. However, for orders placed on our website, you will be charged the delivered price. Customs authorities may request personal information such as Social Security number when inspecting your parcel; failure to provide this information to Customs will result in the parcel being returned, we therefore recommend that the recipient’s telephone details be included with the order. In this instance we are unable to refund the cost of postage and packaging. Please note that for items you order, you are considered the importer and must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which the items are to be delivered. Please note that cross-border deliveries are subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities. TES cannot guarantee that your goods will arrive in the same condition that they were dispatched should they be subject to inspection

In the event a customer refuses to pay for any valid customs, excise or import duties deemed payable by the host country and TES is forced to take back the unpaid goods due to non-payment of such duties by the customer, and in the likely event liability for such customs, excise or import or re-delivery duties is transferred back to TES, TES will seek to redeem these costs from the customer at the customers expense. The customer agrees this will give TES the right to deduct all customs, excise or import or delivery duties from any final refund due payable by the customer so that TES does not suffer any form of financial loss from such a decision by the customer to refuse to pay such customs or excise duties which are deemed payable at the time.
