Terms & Conditions

We regret to inform all of our lovely customers from Northern Ireland and the EU that due to the new GPSR legislation coming into affect on December 13th we can sadly no longer deliver to you. Unfortunately as a small business it is just not possible for us to implement these new requirements. We are incredibly disappointed to say the least about this and have truly appreciated your support and enthusiasm for our little store over the years. We hope there will be a change in the rules in the not to distant future.

These terms and conditions form the basis on which you can visit us and our website. Please read them carefully as they contain important information. Please note when you place an order on our website you are agreeing to our Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy.

Making A Purchase Making a purchase could not be easier. Just browse our store, and add any items that you wish to buy into the shopping cart. After you have finished your selection, click on 'Checkout' and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to complete the order. 

We accept Paypal, Amazon Pay and Visa, Visa Debit, Visa Electron, MasterCard, Maestro, American Express, Solo cards via Braintree. You do not have to have a Paypal account in order to make a purchase as you can do one-off payments using their secure server. When you check out Paypal will provide an option to pay for non-Paypal customers. When you initially go through to the payment page and it asks you to log in you can scroll to the bottom of the page and it has a link called Pay with a debit or credit card which you can click on. Amazon Pay, Paypal and Braintree payment systems are 100% secure and have the padlock sign in the search bar to assure you of this. 

If you have made a mistake in your order and cannot correct it in the shopping cart, contact us straight away and we will correct the mistake. 

When confirmation of your order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you an invoice. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.

If you do not receive a confirmation email or dispatch email please check your Spam folder.

We try to upgrade parcels free of charge to a tracked service where possible however, if you want to guarantee a tracked service please select the tracked delivery option at the checkout.**

If you have any queries or concerns please email sales@thepaperparlour.co.uk.
