8. Delivery
Deliveries can only be made to the UK, Channel Islands, Europe and the USA. Not all of our delivery options are available to all locations. When using the drop down address location menu, you may not find the location you wish to deliver to. This means we are not currently able to deliver to your address. If you have a question about delivery outside of the above locations please email us at hello@ostens.com We hope in the future to be able to deliver to further locations. Please sign up for emails and follow us socially and we will communicate new delivery locations. Certain products can not be shipped to particular locations, such as California, Japan, China and LATAM, this is because certain ingredients are not prohibited in that market, we will therfore not fulfil orders to these markets and will notify the customer where this is the case. We will deliver the Products in accordance with the delivery option selected by you. Whenever referred to, working days exclude Saturday, Sunday and EU public holidays. Upon delivery of the Products to you, we will provide you with sufficient information to enable you to exercise your statutory right of cancellation and to address any intended cancellation to the correct addressee or to return or exchange your Products. For further information, please see the Your cancellation right and the Your other statutory rights to return products under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 sections within these T&Cs. When offered for single orders totalling over £200, free delivery applies to Standard UK, Europe and USA delivery only (next day and express delivery options are excluded from this offer). We will endeavour to deliver orders within 3-8 working days (however, such timescales are not guaranteed delivery times and should not be relied upon). We are not responsible for delivery delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.

Your cancellation rights.

10.1 As you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation until the date which is 14 days after you receive the Products. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep a Product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund.

10.2 Your right to return goods does not apply to goods

(i) made to your specification;

or (ii) which have been clearly personalised;

or (iii) which by reason of their nature cannot be returned or are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly;

or (iv) where sealed goods have been supplied which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons, if they become unsealed after delivery.

To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. The easiest way to do this is to e-mailing us at hello@ostens, or by contacting our Customer Services team by post at: Ostens, 1 New Quebec Street, London, W1H 7DD UK. In any such e-mail or written communication, you MUST include the following details Title: Notice of Cancellation, Statement: I hereby give notice that I cancel my contract of sale of the following goods: Description of goods, Order number, Date of receipt:, Name of consumer, Address of consumer to enable us to identify it. Your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the e-mail or post the letter to us.

10.3 If you cancel your Contract we will:

(a) Refund you the price you paid for the Products. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a store. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover that you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you will be liable to pay to us an appropriate amount.

(b) Refund any delivery costs you have paid, although the maximum refund will be the cost of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer (as permitted by law).

(c) Make any refund due to you as soon as possible and in any event within 14 days after the day on which we receive the Products back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Products back to us.

(d) Refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay. If you used vouchers to pay for the Products we may refund you in vouchers.

(e) Exchanges. If you indicate on your cancellation form that you would rather receive an exchange than a refund then this will be processed within 7 working days of receiving your returned goods and will be delivered via standard delivery. In these circumstances, a new Contract will be deemed to have been formed between us in relation to the new Product you have selected (and your various rights of cancellation and return as set out herein will apply to that Product). In the event that we are not able to satisfy your request for an exchange then we will refund you the cost of the Products and the original Contract between us will be cancelled.

10.4 If a Product has been dispatched to you or you have received it before you decide to cancel your Contract, you must return it to us in accordance with the terms of our Returns Policy.

11. Your other statutory rights to return Products under the Consumer Rights Act 2015

11.1 Because you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with the Contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights (which are summarised in general terms below) are not affected by your right of return and refund in clause 12 (above) or anything else in these T&Cs.

(b) Up to 6 months: if your goods cannot be repaired or replaced, then you are entitled to a full refund in most cases.

(c) After 6 months (depending on the type of Product): if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time then you may be entitled to some money back.

12. Our liability for loss or damage suffered by you.
