You will first receive an email confirming that we have received your order and then a second email confirming when we have dispatched your goods. Please note that the first email confirming receipt of your order does not constitute acceptance of the order by us. Your order will be accepted when we email you confirming dispatch of your goods and legal title will pass to you upon delivery of them. As soon as the order is confirmed via email, we are unable to cancel made to order products. These are products which have a delivery time of over 7 days, including the more expensive stringing machines. All products are subject to stock availability and if we cannot fulfill your order for any reason due to stock availability then we will contact you to offer a replacement at the same quality or above for the same price. If subsequently you do not wish to take up the alternative then we can cancel your order and give you a full refund or ship any products that we can fulfill and refund the product(s) that cannot be supplied.
We sometimes issue promotional codes to customers that give benefits such as discounts, free delivery and free gifts. These codes may only be used by the person to whom they are issued, are not transferable and must only be used in accordance with their Terms and Conditions. By using a promotional code to claim a benefit, you will be confirming that you are entitled to use the code, you meet all the conditions that apply to its use and that you agree to the terms set out below:
Before accepting your order, if we find that you are not entitled to use the code or do not meet all the Terms and Conditions of its use, we may reject your order or alternatively process it without the promotional benefit being applied.
If we find that you were not entitled to use the code or did not meet all the Terms and Conditions of its use after accepting your order, we may reverse the benefit that you obtained. If you transacted on a cash basis e.g. by debit or credit card, we may take a further payment, equivalent to the value of the benefit obtained, from the card used. Should you wish to cancel your order or return any goods, please go to the Returns section for further information.
All orders that has been placed and shipped out to you will not be entitiled to the benefit of the promotional code.
Order processing and payment
We continuously monitor our website to ensure that it is, as far as possible, error free. However, there may be instances where product description, image or pricing errors may occur. If we find any errors such as these after you have submitted an order to us, we will contact you before accepting your order with the correct information on the product(s).
You are then at liberty to either cancel or re-confirm your order based on the correct information. We will try to contact you using any and all of the details you gave us when you placed the order and will leave a message for you to contact us where we can, but if we are unable to reach you, or we don’t hear back from you after leaving a message, then we will treat your order as cancelled, refunding any costs to you where applicable. On submitting your order, we will charge your credit or debit card for the full amount, but if we are unable to process your order from our end, then we will refund the refundable amount back onto the card that you used to place your order.
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 unauthorized access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the website.

Some products on our site may incur extra costs. This information is generally available at product level and you will be notified of this when you place your order.
We will make every effort to have your goods delivered in the time we specify, but we cannot guarantee delivery in that time frame or accept liability for deliveries made outside this time-scale by any of the couriers we use, or those of our suppliers where they dispatch products directly to you.

Please be advised it is your responsibility to know your countries import/export laws, rules, guidelines and policies before making any order. Any order could be subjected to taxes, customs duties and brokerage charges. These customs duties, possible taxes and any courier brokerage charges are the Customer’s responsibility and are to be paid in the recipient’s country by the Customer. If any customs authority requires additional documentation for the purpose of confirming the import/export declaration or our customs clearance status it is your responsibility to provide the required documentation at your expense.
You certify that all statements and information you provide relating to the exportation and importation of the shipment will be true and correct. You acknowledge that in the event that you make untrue or fraudulent statements about the shipment or any of its contents you risk a civil claim and/or criminal prosecution the penalties for which include forfeiture and sale of your shipment. To the extent that we may voluntarily assist you in completing the required customs and other formalities such assistance will be rendered at your sole risk. You agree to indemnify us and hold us harmless from any claims that may be brought against us arising from the information you provide to us and any costs we will incur regarding this, and pay any administration fee we may charge you for providing the services described in this condition.
Any customs duties, taxes (including but not limited to VAT if applicable), penalties, storage charges or other expenses we incur as a result of the actions of customs or other governmental authorities or your failure and/or the receiver’s failure to provide proper documentation and/or to obtain the required licence or permit will be charged to you or the receiver of the shipment. In the event that the machine is returned to us due to your failure to pay custom duties this will result in you the customer having to pay for the return shipping fees. In the event that we decide to charge the receiver and the receiver refuses to pay the incurred charges you agree to pay them to us together with our fee for the administration involved as well as any extra costs we will incur. Upon our first request you will provide a proper guarantee for any of the duties, taxes, penalties, storage charges or any other expenses set out in this condition.
We will endeavor to expedite all customs clearance formalities for your shipment but are not liable for any delays, losses or damage caused by interference from customs officers or other governmental authorities. While shipments are being cleared for Customs, estimated delivery times are suspended, as processing times are specific to the documentation required in the Customer’s country, the response times of the customer and the additional processing time of the documents in the respective country. We use several couriers to deliver and you may be asked to sign for your goods to acknowledge that you have received them. Please note that if you have requested that we leave your goods in an insecure location, we cannot accept any liability for any resulting loss. If you wish to return goods, please contact us at info@pro-stringer.com
