No compensation will be available in the event of goods being lost or damaged, within the UK, when being sent by a postal service (Royal Mail post or by air mail post). If goods are sent by the Courier Service then damages or shortages must be reported to the Company within 48 hours of delivery taking place.
Unless otherwise agreed the Company may deliver by instalments and in such case each instalment shall be treated as a separate contact and any delay, default or non-delivery in respect of any instalment by the Company shall not entitle the buyer to cancel the remainder of the Contract.

The goods are in some way physically damaged by the buyer.
The warranty label is found to have been tampered with / torn.
The goods are found not to have been sold to the customer by the Company.

If goods are to be returned after more than 14 days then the company reserves the right to charge a restocking fee for all resalable returns.

Faulty items returned within 30 days will be refunded or exchanged for an identical product or nearest equivalent product. Over 30 days from the date of purchase, faulty items will have to be returned to our suppliers which may take up to a further 30 days. If, after 30 days, a replacement can not be obtained for whatever reason, a full refund or credit will be given. If this is not ascertainable, then a refund or credit will be given for the value of the nearest equivalent item.
Except as may be implied by law where the buyer is dealing as a consumer, in event of any breach of these Conditions by the Company the remedies of the buyer shall be limited to damages which shall in no circumstances exceed the price of the goods and the Company shall under no circumstances be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages.
Risk property and insurance
All risk in the goods (including their loss or destruction) will pass to you:-
Immediately upon the date when delivery takes place (or would have taken place but for your act or default)
Immediately upon the goods leaving our premises (if we are to deliver them to a third party at your request)
Immediately upon the goods having been posted (if we are to deliver the goods by post)

Dishwasher warranty
The dishwasher warranty extends only to those products that are advertised as coated in the RN sublimation coating. Our liability will be restricted to the cost of the mug supplied by use originally so long as it can be demonstrated that the mug was originally printed using genuine Sawgrass sublimation inks and the mug has not been exposed to commercial/ industrial style dishwashers.
Postal service
Please note that goods are not sent by any postal service within the UK or by Airmail service to ensure we have full tracking over all goods sent. As such we do not offer a postal service for any goods ordered as this service is not insured or trackable and therefore we cannot offer any compensation if goods are lost or damaged in transit to customers.
Where goods are sent by a courier service we cannot guarantee a next working day delivery service due to factors beyond our control. Delivery dates are an indication of a date of delivery and no compensation is payable should the delivery date be delayed by factors outside of the control of BMS Ltd. These may be, but not exclusively, factors caused by delay due to weather, traffic or national sorting office issues by the courier company.
