Acceptance of order

We take reasonable care in ensuring that all material on our website is accurate and up to date at the time it is created. None of the information on our website is to be relied upon as a statement or representation of fact. All images, illustrations and descriptions are for information only and all orders are subject to availability. The contract in respect of the products supplied by us to you comes into existence only when your order has been accepted by us. For the avoidance of doubt, receipt of an order via our site does not constitute acceptance of an order. Acceptance of an order is made by notifying you in writing that your order status is "Order Complete". Until acceptance of an order is made by us, we can cancel the order without reason or penalty. This means that if goods are shown on our website but are not available or are incorrectly priced or otherwise incorrectly described we shall not be obliged to sell you such goods unless we accept your order.

Each time the status of your order changes we will inform you of the update in writing. The status options are as follows.

• Pending- This means you have successfuly placed an order and you now need to pay for it.
• Processing - Order Processing - This means that you have successfully paid for your order and we have begun to process it.
• Order Complete - This means that we have accepted your order, processed and dispatched it.
• Cancelled / Declined - This means that the order has been cancelled either at your request or declined by us because payment was not received.
• Failed Fraud Review - This means your order has been rejected by us because the transaction was considered high risk.

Prices

If an error is found in the price of a product you have ordered we will inform you in writing as soon as possible and offer you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling your order.

Payment

We accept Visa, Mastercard, Switch, Delta and Maestro, bank transfer or cheque. We can accept cash sent by post but strongly recommend you use the Royal Mail Special Delivery service as this is insured against loss in transit.

Delivery

The shopping basket will automatically work out the correct postage for your order based on the combined weight of the items you have added to the basket and your delivery address. Any available options for delivery will then appear in the delivery drop down menu starting from £3.50 (inclusive of VAT). 

We aim to dispatch all orders that are in stock within 1 business day and any orders placed before 1pm Monday-Friday on a courier delivery service, the same day. If you need your order to arrive on the next working day, please ensure you place your order by 1pm Monday - Friday and choose a next working day courier delivery service as the courier collects from us daily at this time. If you miss the courier collection, then your order will not be sent until the following working day. If we are unable to dispatch your order due to unforseen circumstances such as a stock error, we will email you to advise you of the delay and give you the option of cancelling your order. If no one is at home when delivery is attempted the driver may check to see if a neighbour is at home and leave the parcel with them. If you leave a signed note explaining that the order can be left in a specific location, the driver can take this away and the goods can be left where you choose, however this is done at your own risk. If this is not possible they will leave a calling card and either attempt re-delivery the following working day or ask you to collect from your local depot. Clear details of this will be on the card that will be left by your driver. If the delivery address you've provided us with is incorrect or it refuses delivery of the goods or if you do not respond to the card left by the driver after two attempts, your order will be returned to us and we will be charged for the return service by our courier which we must pass on to you. We will then cancel your order and refund your payment method deducting the original cost of delivery + £10 to cover the return costs. If you have received an "Order Complete" status email from us then your order has been dispatched. If you have chosen a courier delivery service, we will send you the tracking number via email so that you can track your order and if needed, contact the courier to check the delivery. Although we send out all courier orders on a next day delivery service, it is not guaranteed that you will receive your order on the next working day. Please allow at least 2 working days for delivery. We cannot be held responsible for delays due to circumstances beyond our control such as strike action or weather conditions. We highly recommend using an express courier delivery option to minimise any chances of a delay with your order. If you choose an economy delivery service then your order will be dispatched via Royal Mail and the estimated timescales quoted are not guaranteed in anyway so you must allow at least 15 working days days from the date of posting before contacting us if you haven't received your order. Only then can we investigate and resend your order. If you provide us with an incorrect delivery address and your goods are signed for by another party, we cannot be held responsible for any loss you incur as a result. Once your order has left us, we cannot be responisible for delays or damages that occur as a result of the Courier however if your order does arrive damaged please refuse delivery or mark the courier's sheet as "damaged on arrival" if you do sign for it. If you'd like to make a claim for the damages please email us at info@photomountsuk.co.uk with details of the damage along with images to support the claim and we may be able to resend your order. Note: We currently ship to the UK, EU and USA. If you live outside this area please contact us with your location and we will look into adding it to the website.
