This clause 7 only applies if you are a business.

7.2 These Terms and any document expressly referred to in them constitute the entire agreement between you and us and supersede and extinguish all previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations, and understandings between us, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter.
7.3 You acknowledge that in entering into this Contract you do not rely on any statement, representation, assurance, or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in these Terms or any document expressly referred to in them.
7.4 You shall not have any claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation or negligent misstatement based on any statement in this Contract.

8.1 You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of your order before submitting it to us. Please take the time to read and check your order before submitting it.

If you have already paid for the Products, we will refund you the full amount within 14 days of notifying you that we are unable to accept your order or supply you with a Product. This might be because that Product is not in stock or no longer available, due to an unexpected limit on our resources, because a credit reference we have obtained for you does not meet our minimum requirements, or due to an error in the price communicated to you as referred to in clause 17.
8.4 A quotation for the Products given by us shall not constitute an offer. A quotation shall only be valid for a period of 30 days from its date of issue.
8.5 If you are a consumer and are not able to enter into a contract for any reason, e.g., if you are under 18 years old in England and Wales, then we will need to enter into the Contract with someone who is able to enter into a contract, on your behalf, e.g., a parent or guardian.

For the avoidance of doubt, please note that we will not be able to make a change to the Product you have ordered where you have ordered a bespoke Product.
10. Our Right to Make Changes
10.1 We may change the Product(s):

12.7.1 You shall collect the Products within 3 business days of being notified that the Products are ready for collection.

13. Your Consumer Right of Return and Refund
This clause 13 only applies if you are a consumer.
13.1 If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract in certain circumstances. Your rights to cancel the Contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing, and when you decide to end the Contract.
13.2 You may have a right to cancel a Contract in the following circumstances:
13.2.1 If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed, you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the Product repaired or replaced, or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 5.1;

If the Products have already been delivered to you, you have a period of 30 (thirty) days in which you may cancel, starting from the day you receive the Products provided that:
13.4.1 The Products are unworn, unaltered, unwashed, and in a resaleable condition.
13.4.2 The Products are not of the type set out in clause 13.5.
Please note that the goodwill guarantee set out in this clause 13.4 does not affect your legal rights in relation to faulty or misdescribed Products.
13.5 Your right to change your mind under clause 13.4 does not apply in the case of any products which are custom-made to your specification or clearly personalized (including bespoke Products) or to any products which have been sealed for health protection or hygiene reasons (for example, certain types of PPE) and which have been opened or unsealed after delivery.

13.10 We refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay.
13.11 As a consumer, you will always have legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described.
