Terms and Conditions

Terms and conditions for the supply of goods through a website - business to consumer

At Shannon we are committed to providing an excellent service. If you have sent, or indeed received a gift with which you are not entirely happy, please contact us with your comments; we need to know if we can improve, and will do all we can to put it right for you. We endeavour to respond to all complaints within 24 hours.

1. The contract between us

   We must receive payment of the whole of the price for the goods that you order before your order can be accepted. Once payment has been received by us we will confirm that your order has been accepted by sending an email to you at the email address you provide in your order form. Our acceptance of your order brings into existence a legally binding contract between us. No order is accepted by Shannon until the order has been checked & approved. If there is a problem we will e-mail you within three working days

2. Our right to refuse your order

   1. We reserve the right to refuse to accept your order for any reason including, without limitation and whether or not payment has been received by us, if:
      1. we have insufficient stock to deliver the goods you have ordered;
      2. we do not deliver to your area; or
      3. one or more of the goods you ordered was listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical error or an error in the pricing information received by us from our suppliers.
   2. If we do refuse your order we will notify you by e-mail and will re-credit to your account any sum deducted by us from your credit card as soon as possible but in any event within 30 days of your order. We will not be obliged to offer any additional compensation for disappointment suffered

3. Price

   1. The prices payable for goods that you order are as set out in our website.
   2. You may be required to pay extra for delivery and it might not be possible for us to deliver to some locations. Our delivery charges are set out in our website.
   3. We take payment at the time of order, not necessarily the time of despatch. This is to ensure there are no last minute hitches to getting your gift delivered on time.
   4. Any offers we make are designed to be used independently, and are not available in conjunction with any other offer.

4. Right for you to cancel your contract

   1. You may cancel your contract with us for the goods you order at any time up to the end of the seventh working day from the day after the date you receive the ordered goods. You do not need to give us any reason for cancelling your contract nor will you have to pay any penalty.
   2. To cancel your contract you must notify us in writing.
   3. If you have received the goods before you cancel your contract then you must send the goods back to our contact address at your own cost and risk. If you cancel your contract but we have already processed the goods for delivery you must not unpack the goods when they are received by you and you must send the goods back to us at our contact address at your own cost and risk as soon as possible.
   4. Once you have notified us that you are cancelling your contract, any sum debited to us from your credit card will be re-credited to your account as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days of your order.
   5. If you cancel the contract but do not return the goods to us in the condition they were in when delivered to you or do not pay the costs of delivery, we shall be entitled to deduct the direct costs of recovering the goods from the amount to be re-credited to you.
