By using www.coursdepoetique.org you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

These terms and conditions (together with the documents referred to in them) tell you the terms and conditions on which we supply any of the Products to you. Please read these terms and conditions carefully and make sure that you understand them, before ordering any Products from our site. You should understand that by ordering any of our Products, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

You should print a copy of these terms and conditions for future reference. Please understand that if you refuse to accept these terms and conditions, you will not be able to order any Products from our site. Cours de Poétique Ltd reserves the right to update its terms and conditions from time to time.

All prices are stated in British pounds. Please note you are responsible for complying with local tax laws. Cours de Poétique Ltd reserves the right to change Product prices and information without prior notice.

CDP is not VAT registered and prices on coursdepoetique.org are not inclusive of VAT.

All Products are subject to availability. If a Product is temporarily out of stock please email us on orders@coursdepoetique.org and we’ll notify you as soon as it’s back online. Alternatively keep checking the website.

By placing an order through www.coursdepoetique.org, you represent and warrant that:

(a) you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts;
(b) you are at least 18 years old;
(c) are the holder of a valid debit/credit card;

Cours de Poétique Ltd uses Stripe to process payments. This secure merchant is independent and will never disclose your payment details to us. We accept all major credit cards.

After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from CDP acknowledging your payment. Please note this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail stating that the payment has been processed and that your Products have been dispatched (‘Dispatch Confirmation’). The contract between us (‘Contract’) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.

The Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.

Cours de Poétique Ltd has made every endeavour to ensure photographs, dimensions and Product descriptions represent our Products as accurately as possible. In some instances there may be a slight variation in appearance and colours of the actual Products due to the production process, the lighting in which they were photographed or your computer's monitor settings.

Cours de Poétique Ltd aims to deliver all mainland UK orders within 5 working days using Royal Mail’s First Class postal service. Some products may not fit through a standard letterbox so it is likely that if you are not in to receive the items in person Royal Mail will leave a card explaining how to rearrange delivery. Sometimes due to unforeseen circumstances such as severe weather or during busy times like Christmas, deliveries may take a little longer. If you have not received your delivery within 7 working days, please contact us on orders@coursdepoetique.org.

Cours de Poétique Ltd only ships to the UK, Europe, USA and Canada. All shipping costs are calculated at checkout. Please note that any import duties and taxes are your responsibility. If you are ordering from country outside this area, postage costs can be supplied on application. Please contact us on orders@coursdepoetique.org to discuss further.

The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery.

Legal ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges. Legal ownership of the Products will immediately revert to us if we refund any such payment to you.

We hope you you will be satisfied with our products. If you are not entirely happy please notify us on orders@coursdepoetique.org. You must return your unwanted Products for a refund within ten working days from the day you received the Products. The Products, including their original packaging, must be returned “as new” in a saleable condition. For all returns and refunds please obtain a proof of postage certificate from your Post Office as we cannot refund products damaged or lost in transit. We will examine the returned Product and will notify you of your refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund. We will refund the price of the Products in full. Unfortunately we cannot cover the cost of return postage. We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase. This provision does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.

Every CDP Product is thoroughly checked before it’s posted but if, in the unlikely instance, you do receive faulty Products please contact CDP on orders@coursdepoetique.org within 48 hours from signing for receipt of your delivery letting us know whether you would like an exchange or a refund. We recommend you inspect your Products as soon as they arrive. It is important when returning Products that you obtain a proof of postage as we cannot refund items lost in transit.
