Our Products
OUR PRODUCTS Products may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the products on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device's display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the products. Your product may vary slightly from those images. Although we have made every effort to be as accurate as possible, because our products are handmade, all sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements may vary.
Product packaging may vary. The packaging of the product may vary from that shown in images on our website.

Purchasing a Product With Seekd
OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU How we will accept your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to accept it, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us. Please note that the order confirmation screen is a receipt of order and your order is only deemed to be accepted once Seekd has confirmed your order by email.
If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for or because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product.
We sell to the UK and the Republic of Ireland. Our website is mainly for the promotion of our products in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. Some of our Sellers accept orders from or deliver to addresses outside the UK and the Republic of Ireland. Please check the policy of the Seller, as seen on the Seller’s page of the Seekd website.
PRICE AND PAYMENT Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which will include VAT if appropriate) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We use our best efforts to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However please see What happens if we got the price wrong for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.
We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. In instances where our Sellers are required to charge VAT we will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.
When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment via Stripe. We take payment during the order process.
What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know.

The minimum requirement of a supplier is to honour requests made within 14 days of receipt of standard product(s).

Even if we/the Seller are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind (see Your rights to make changes), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us/the Seller compensation. A contract for goods is completed when the product is delivered and paid for. A contract for services is completed when we have finished providing the services and you have paid for them.

Deductions from refunds if you are exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind:
(a) The Seller may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If the Seller refunds you the price paid before the Seller is able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay the Seller an appropriate amount.
(b) The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if the Seller offers delivery of a product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then the Seller will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option. (c) Where the product is a service, the Seller may deduct from any refund an amount for the supply of the service for the period for which it was supplied, ending with the time when you told us/the Seller you had changed your mind. The amount will be in proportion to what has been supplied, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract. When your refund will be made.
