We may refuse to accept an order:
(a) Where goods are not available
(b) Where we cannot obtain authorisation for your payment
(c) If there has been a pricing or product description error
(d) If you do not meet any eligibility criteria set out in our terms and conditions
(e) If your order for personalised products contains content which is threatening, defamatory, obscene, indecent, seditious, offensive, pornographic, abusive, liable to incite racial hatred, discriminatory, menacing, scandalous, inflammatory, blasphemous, in breach of confidence, in breach of privacy or which may cause annoyance or inconvenience.
(f) If the order is to be delivered outside of the United Kingdom.
Pricing
All prices displayed are inclusive of VAT if applicable. The price of the items does not include the delivery charge. Our prices are reviewed periodically. The standard delivery charge is for mainland UK.

Payment
We accept payment by most major credit or debit cards. Payment will be debited from your account before despatch of your purchase. Payment will appear as Blue Bubble Ltd on your statement.
All credit and charge card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorise payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery. Orders can only be delivered to UK addresses.
Personalisation
We take pride in a fast service, therefore any products you order which are personalised will be sent for production immediately once payment has cleared. Please double check your order on screen before confirming your purchase as we will be unable to offer a replacement or a refund where personalisation has been misspelt due to an error made by yourself. Once your order gone into production, you are no longer able to make changes to your order. Please contact us for further information regarding cancelling or changing an order. We cannot accept returns where product(s) has/have been personalised, made to order or customised in any way.
Delivery
We will deliver the Products ordered by you to the address which you give for delivery when you make your order. If any of the details you have given us in your delivery address are incorrect, we are not liable for any items which have not been received.
Delivery will be made as soon as possible and usually within 7 days of receipt of your order.
Whilst we make every effort to deliver goods on the day we specify, we cannot guarantee delivery on that day or accept liability for deliveries made outside this timescale. We cannot accept liability for out of pocket expenses or other costs incurred due to failed or delayed deliveries
Some postal addresses in Northern Ireland, some offshore islands and some remote areas of Great Britain may not be covered by our normal delivery services and so we may have to contact you to advise you of extra postal charges.
The majority of our products are despatched Royal Mail 48hr. If you have not received your items, you must check with your local sorting office even if you have not received notification from your postman that they are holding items for you.
In the event that we reproduce an item for you and subsequently the original is returned as undelivered by Royal Mail, we reserve the right to charge an administrative restocking fee up to 100% of the trade price of the reproduced product.
We reserve the right to wait up to 10 working days from the date of despatch before taking further action regarding an undelivered item.
If a parcel is returned to us due to it being undeliverable we will contact you to arrange redelivery. Where gifts have been personalised we are unable to offer refunds on orders returned to us.

Order Cancellations
Orders that have been personalised cannot be cancelled once they have entered the production process.

Products Containing Batteries
Some of our products, including our clock range, come supplied with batteries. Here at Slightly Disturbed we are committed to help the environment where possible. It is important to dispose of used batteries in a safe way through the proper channels.
Due to the chemical makeup of batteries, they should not be disposed of with normal household waste but rather through a recognised battery collection point. To find your nearest collection points please visit; http://www.batteryback.org/battery-collection.html . For further information regarding the disposal and the recycling of batteries you can visit; http://www.batteryback.org/links.html .
