These terms and conditions govern your use of the site and the purchase of goods and services from our site. You will also find details on your privacy and your security on other pages, so please take time to carefully read these terms and conditions before using the site. In this text, all references to “I”, “my”, “us” or “we” means Frances Garriock.
Acceptance of Terms & Conditions
The client must ensure they have read and fully understood the terms set out by Frances Garriock.
By placing an order you are agreeing to the Terms and Conditions expressed. All orders are subject to availability and confirmation of the order price. Dispatch times may vary and any estimates on delivery times are subject to any delays resulting from postal delays, weather or a problem with delivery companies for which we cannot be held responsible. Please see ‘Delivery Information’ for further information.
When placing an order with us it is your responsibility to ensure that all the details you provide are accurate and truthful, that you are the authorised user of the credit card or payment method and that there are sufficient funds with which to make payment for any order placed.
A contract is formed between you and Frances Garriock at the point where you receive confirmation of the order and payment has been made (commercial clients may have alternative terms agreed).
The client should contact Frances Garriock in order to clarify anything that is unclear.
Project Acceptance and Commencement
No creative or development work will commence until Frances Garriock has received payment in full by placing an order on the website or by alternative agreed arrangement in writing.
Price/Quotes/Estimates for Individual Pieces
The costs provided when quoting are guide prices based upon what I anticipate to be the creative time and materials to implement the client’s specific requirements (based on previous experience and on typical processes). I require the client’s co-operation in respect of ascertaining the exact requirements of the project, and guidance during the process to ensure the client’s requirements are fulfilled to the highest standard. Charges are unlikely to deviate from those quoted unless the client’s requirements change significantly.
Quotes for individual or customised pieces are valid for 2 months from the date given.
Indemnity
The Client shall indemnify Frances Garriock against any loss or damage which results from the Client’s breach of this agreement or failure to abide by any of its terms.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all payments are due immediately on placing an order on the website. Payment will be taken through a secure payment gateway on the website. We use Stripe and PayPal to process our online transactions.
For any individual pieces commissioned or commercial contracts a 50% deposit is requested, following which the remainder will be invoiced. No items will be dispatched until payment is made in full. Payments may be made by PayPal, online transfer, cash, or (for overseas clients), Pound Sterling International Money Order or previously agreed electronic funds transfer.
