Purchase of Products


Orders 
We will take all reasonable care, in so far as it is in our power to do so, to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the Website.

Contract creation and electronic contracting
The technical steps required to create the contract between you and us are as follows:
* You place the order for your products on the Website by pressing the place order button at the end of the checkout process.
You will then be guided through the process of placing an order by a series of simple instructions on the Website: * We will send you an order acknowledgement email detailing the products you have ordered - this is not an order acceptance from Pipetto Ltd.
* As your product is shipped from our warehouse we will send you a despatch confirmation email - order acceptance and the completion of the contract between you and us takes place on the despatch to you of the Products ordered, unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order, or you have cancelled your order. Non-acceptance of an order may be a result of one of the following:
The product you ordered being unavailable from stock or our inability to obtain authorisation for your payment


Pre-Ordered Items

Any items on pre-order will be shipped as soon as we receive them from manufacturer.

Pre-Order products will state an expected delivery date in the product description; however this may be subject to change due to circumstances beyond our control. We will keep you updated should any changes to the delivery date occur, and of course, you can request a refund at any point up to the dispatch date at which the normal returns policy will apply.

Please note that any additional duty or customs charges applicable in the destination country are payable by the recipient.

Description of products
We will take all reasonable care to ensure that all details, descriptions and prices of products appearing on the Website are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. Although we aim to keep the Website as up to date as possible, the information including product descriptions appearing on this Website at a particular time may not always reflect the position exactly at the moment you place an order. We cannot confirm the price of a product until your order is accepted in accordance with our order acceptance policy.

Colours 
We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our products that appear on pipetto.co.uk. However, as computer monitors vary, we cannot guarantee that your monitor's display of any colour will be completely accurate. 

Pricing Policy
Prices shown on the Website are in GBP and are inclusive of VAT at the applicable rate unless you have selected an alternative country where VAT is not chargeable. 
The GBP price of a product displayed on the Website at the time the order is accepted will be honoured, except in cases of patent error. If you are a customer whose credit card is not denominated in Sterling, the final price will be calculated in accordance with the applicable exchange rate on the day your credit card company processes the transaction.  Voucher codes are subject to individual terms & conditions and in most circumstances cannot be combined.

Lifetime Warranty - Definition

We offer a Lifetime Warranty for the duration of the use of your case. Lifetime does not mean a persons lifetime, but the lifetime of your device. For most people who regularly upgrade their iPhone this is every 12 to 24 months. For iPad users this is 24 months and at our discretion thereafter. Just as you would expect any other consumer goods, such as a pair of leather shoes or washing machine, things wear out over time.

However, if any product fails to function as intended as a result of component or construction defects we will gladly offer a repair or replacement.

The warranty does not cover any damage caused by misuse or neglect, accidents, normal wear and tear, exposure to extreme temperatures, solvents, acids, water, or damage by common carrier. Due to the nature of the natural materials used in our products, we are unable to offer replacement or repair for the natural wear of materials. We always strive to keep all our customers happy and do so in-line with the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and Distance Selling regulations.

** Unfortunately, we are unable to offer a warranty on second hand items, items purchased on eBay or through other clearance retailers.  Proof of purchase is required.  

 

How do I know if my issue is covered?

The litmus test that we use to consider if an item is faulty is: “Has this product stood the test of time for long enough to show there was no manufacturing defects with the manufacturing of the product?

Sale of Goods Act deems this time frame to be 6 months. However, we consider the product should last for the lifetime of your device. For most people, this is 12 months for an iPhone and 12-24 months for iPad. Over 12 months, the Lifetime Warranty is at our discretion.

Examples of things that are covered: 

Included but not limited to: Stitching coming apart, de-lamination of materials, material breaking or degrading.

Examples of things that aren't covered are: 

Included but not limited to: General wear and tear, breakage from a result of the case being dropped or mistreated, delimitation or damage to materials as a result of water damage or similar. Wear and tear of natural leather is not covered under warranty.

Please note that our Lifetime Warranty starts on the day of purchase, not the date that a product is registered.  The Lifetime warranty will not be renewed upon repair or replacement of the product.

Delivery charges
Should you buy a product online and you change your mind about it, providing you notify us in writing within 14 calendar days of receiving it we’ll refund the purchase price of the item.  Unfortunately shipping charges are non-refundable, unless a product is delayed for any reason or faulty on arrival.

None of the above conditions affect your statutory rights when goods are faulty, or not as described.
