Accuracy of Content

To the extent permitted by law, we give no warranties in relation to the website, in particular with limitation, any warranties regarding the accuracy of descriptions and illustrations of items for sale on the Website. We have taken all reasonable precautions to ensure that the information provided within the Website is accurate, including (but not limited to) that prices shown are correct at the time of publishing and that all items have been fairly and accurately described. Whilst all reasonable effort has been taken to display colours of items accurately, we cannot guarantee that your monitor's display will accurately reflect this. All sizes and measurements are approximate; however we do make every effort to ensure they are as accurate as possible.

We reserve the right to change at any time any descriptions of items shown on the Website, including prices, colours and sizes. The descriptions and photos of the items are posted by suppliers, however, we try to monitor the descriptions and photos of items as much as possible, but we cannot be responsible 100% for the accuracy of the descriptions.

Prices and Promotion

Prices are as set out on the website and include VAT at the current rate but are exclusive of delivery charges. We reserve the right to alter prices at any time.

We continually update our online store. From time to time our retail stores may run special local promotions (which may not be available on our website) or we may offer special promotions online that are not available in the retail stores. For these reasons you may sometimes find that products on our Website are priced differently to those in our stores. Some website promotions may not be available to customers in particular jurisdictions.

Product descriptions

You will notice that a lot of products for sale on Handoki have a label (or multiple labels) to them: Handmade, Custom made, Regular and Exclusive. Below we will explain what each of these terms means and represents, and what makes them so special.

Handmade: These are products that are hand crafted by artisans. Often, our crafters have generations of experience, and have spent a lifetime honing their skills. This reflects the quality of product that we offer to you from Handoki, and you can be sure that every product is both handmade, and created with special care.

Custom made: Some of our products are customisable according to your individual wishes and specifications. Whether it is something truly special for birthdays, anniversaries or general gifts, our custom label features products that are customisable by the seller in many different ways. You can choose from colour, size, or even having your name or picture on the product.

Regular: These handmade products are usually in stock all the time as specified by the crafter, who is obliged to constantly update the information about the number of pieces available through his/her account. The products can be either in stock (available immediately) or out of stock with one item being reserved as a sample. In this case, the “manufacturing time” phrase will show and will specify how many days it would take a crafter to produce this item. Please note that such an out of stock item, crafted especially for you, might differ slightly from the sample in the photo.

Exclusive: These products are limited edition products that are the only ones of their kind and cannot be fully replicated. Many products such as our artwork on offer are very unique and exclusive. A seller may decide to also only produce a handful of a specific product, or may be working in such a manner that leads to every batch being different.

Each product purchased is sold subject to its Product Description. We have made every effort to reproduce colour details on the website as accurately as possible. However, different computers can reproduce colours in slightly different ways, so colour matches therefore are not always possible over the internet. If you are not satisfied with the colour of the item you have ordered, we offer to exchange or refund it within 14 days of purchase only for non-custom made items. Please see our returns policy.

We will take all reasonable care to ensure that all details, descriptions and prices of products appearing on the website are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system.

Even though we try to describe each item in as much detail as possible, if you have some questions regarding a particular item, please do not hesitate to contact us before making an order to get all the necessary information. Please contact us on the details set out above.

Damage to your computer

We do our best to keep our site up to date but cannot guarantee that the site and its contents are completely free of technical errors, viruses or anything else that may have a harmful effect on your computer or any technology. By using the site, you acknowledge that you assume full responsibility for all costs associated with any necessary servicing or repairs of any equipment that you use in connection with the website. Of course, this statement does not affect your statutory rights as a customer.

Orders

All communication with you will be conducted through the email address you provide us. Correspondence from us will be also addressed to your email address as supplied when you register.

If we discover an error in the price or description of an item you have ordered (it happens!), we may cancel your order at any time up to the point we send the item(s) to you. We will contact you where we become aware of an error and ask you whether you wish to continue with your order at the correct price or cancel it. If we do cancel your order, you will receive a full refund of charges you pay to us in advance. If you do not receive an acknowledgement email after placing an order, please contact us immediately. Handoki.com will not be responsible if you should fail to receive emails sent to the email address you provide when you register.

We will send you an acknowledgement email within 24 hours of your order being placed to confirm receipt of your order. Orders placed by you are an offer to purchase and our acknowledgement is not an acceptance. Once you have received our acknowledgement email, you cannot change the details of the order (product, quantities or delivery address). Please ensure you review all your details before you complete the checkout process.

All orders are submitted subject to availability of stock.

The steps involved in creating an Order are as follows:

● You place the order for your products on the website by pressing the confirm button at the end of the checkout process. In the description of the item, you will be able to see if the item is in stock or not. For custom made or regular out of stock items, estimated manufacturing time will be shown as well. In the description of the item, you will be able to see not only the estimated production time but also the delivery time as well.
● We will send to you an order acknowledgement email detailing the products that you have ordered. Once your order is confirmed by one of our suppliers (that the item is in stock or that the item can be produced within the estimated time frame shown on the website), we will send you an email with the confirmation of your order.
● When your product is shipped by the individual seller we will send you a dispatch confirmation email.
● Please acknowledge the delivery of your order through your account or by email. If the order is not delivered on time, please extend your processing time before the initially set delivery day (preferably at least 3 days in advance).

Orders that are already in stock or orders that have their production completed are normally dispatched within 1-3 business days of the order date (or within 1-3 business days of the date when the item is completed and ready for dispatching). The majority of orders of in stock items are received within 30 days. However, as we cannot guarantee the speed of the standard postal service please allow up to: 42 days for Standard Delivery orders, 28 days for Priority Delivery (EMS), and 14 days for DHL or similar express delivery. If the order happens to be placed on a bank or national holiday in the country of residence of a manufacturer, the order shall be dispatched within the 1-3 business days following the holiday and the customer will be notified about this delay.

Order acceptance and the completion of the contract between you and us will take place on the dispatch to you of the products ordered unless we have notified you that we cannot accept your order.

There is a delay between the time when the order is placed and the time when the order is accepted and the order acknowledgement email is not a guarantee of stock availability or availability to produce a particular item. On occasion the stock position relating to particular items may change. If an item is not in stock at the time of processing your order, we will let you know as soon as possible and you will not be charged for the out of stock item(s).

Non-acceptance of an order may happen for one of the following reasons:

● The product you ordered is unavailable in stock or it is not possible to produce it anymore.
● The product you ordered is unavailable for delivery to your selected delivery country.
● Our inability to obtain authorisation of your payment.
● The identification of a pricing or product description error.
● You not meeting the eligibility for order criteria set out in the Terms & Conditions.

We reserve the right to restrict the number of items available for sale to any individual customer.

In relation to custom made items, if:

● the production time of an item changes, we will inform the buyer about the new production time
● the material of the item changes, we will inform the buyer about this change
● there are any other changes, we will inform the buyer about these changes

Then the buyer has the right either to agree to the changes or ask for a refund or to release payment.

We reserve the right to refuse any order.
