1. Terms and Conditions for the Sale of Goods
Ordering
Shopping at shop.museumofthehome.org.uk is a fast and secure process. When you have found a product that you wish to buy, just click to add it to your shopping bag. The quantity of products that you have selected will be displayed at the top right of the screen throughout your shopping session. Should you wish to amend you selection, simply click on the shopping bag icon to review your purchases and their total value. Once you have finished shopping, click on the checkout icon to complete your purchase.
Once you have successfully placed an order you will be sent an email confirming, among other things, receipt and the details of your order. Your order represents an offer by you to purchase goods from us. Please check the confirmation email and notify us immediately of any errors by emailing shop@museumofthehome.org.uk. A follow-up email will then be sent once the goods have been dispatched to you, and it is only at this point in time that we accept your offer, are bound to fulfil it and a contract is formed.
If an item you have requested is temporarily out of stock it will not be included in your order, you will not be charged for it, but we will notify you by email as soon as it becomes available.
Delivery
The charge for post and packing for all orders sent to locations in the UK and internationally is based on a combination of weight and order value. If you buy multiple items, the total cost and weight of the order is converted into a carriage charge, dependent on your location in the world.
We aim to dispatch all items within 3 days of accepting your order, but UK customers should allow up to 7 days for purchases to arrive. Please note that delivery estimates are not guaranteed. You will be notified by email once your goods have been dispatched from the Museum of the Home Shop. We are happy to send items as gifts but, to avoid confusion, please forewarn the recipient that a parcel is on the way.
Please note that if you are ordering goods for delivery overseas you may be subject to import duties and taxes. Such taxes will be payable when the goods reach their destination. The liability for payment of such customs duties rests solely with you and the Museum has no control or liability for them.
Taxes
All purchases (except books, which are VAT exempt) within the UK are currently subject to a VAT charge of 20%. The prices on our site are inclusive of VAT. Overseas customers may find their orders are subject to import duties and taxes, which may be levied once a delivery reaches its destination country. The Museum of the Home Shop has no control over additional customs charges. These charges are to be paid by the customer.
Product Information
All prices are quoted in pounds sterling and are inclusive of UK Value Added Tax. If the price quoted on the website is incorrect and the true price is lower than that quoted we will charge you the lower price. If the true cost is higher than the quoted price we will either inform you of the true cost and await your confirmation of your order at the higher price or inform you that we cannot accept your order and let you know the reasons for such cancellation.
All sizes, weights and capacities of the goods given on the site are approximate, but we individually weigh each item before putting it on the site to provide a fair and precise shipping cost estimate.
We have made every effort to reproduce colours as accurately as possible on the site, but please be aware that the actual colours you see on the screen may differ to those of your ordered products. If this is in any way a disappointment when you receive your items, please notify us as soon as possible and we will do all we can to remedy the situation.
Secure Shopping
Ensuring the security of your personal data is our highest priority. All payments are processed through a secure server which utilises a 128-bit SSL security system.

We will not be liable for any business loss (including loss of profits, revenue, contracts, anticipated savings, data, goodwill or wasted expenditure) or any other indirect or consequential loss that is not reasonably foreseeable by either party when the contract for sale is formed.
