Terms & Privacy

1. General

1.1       This website is owned and managed by Abe + Jo. (‘Abe + Jo’, ‘us’, ‘we’, ‘our’). Abe + Jo is a private company.

1.2       Our shop (online or in-store) is aimed predominantly for consumers. Section 2 (3) of The Consumer Rights Act 2015 defines a consumer as “an individual acting for purposes which are wholly or mainly outside that individual’s trade, business, craft or profession”. These Terms and Conditions apply to all purchase contracts between us and you as a consumer, concluded online or in-store. 

1.3       By accessing and using this website or our social media platforms and/or by continuing to purchase our products via our online shop or in-store, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions (‘Terms’).

1.4       These Terms must be read in conjunction with our privacy notice which is available on our website (‘Privacy Notice’). We are committed to ensuring the security and privacy of your information and our Terms and Privacy Notice explain in more detail the categories of information we collect from you, the purposes for, and the manner in which the information is processed and used 

1.5       In all cases, these Terms available on the website are valid Terms, at the time of concluding the purchase that is decisive.

1.6       You must be 18 (eighteen) years of age or above to be able to purchase products from our website or online shop. By accessing our online shop and proceeding to purchase products offered on our online shop you warrant that you are 18 (eighteen) years of age or older, and where you are a minor, i.e. below 18 (eighteen) years of age, you are accessing our website and purchasing products offered for sale by us with the consent and involvement of a parent or guardian and/or you ratify that you understand the implications of the purchase agreement and that you will not cancel the agreement and claim a reimbursement after you or any other person have used and enjoyed the benefit of our product(s). 

1.7       For the purposes of these Terms, Abe + Jo Limited and the consumer shall be collectively referred to as ‘the Parties ‘and individually as ‘a Party’. 

2. Contractual Relationship

2.1       The Abe + Jo online shop is an invitation to treat and by proceeding to select products displayed on our website and activating the ‘Check-Out’ button you confirm your offer to purchase the products selected by you (‘Order’).

2.2       We will communicate our acceptance of your Order by means of an order confirmation sent via email to the email address that you register with on our website, followed by an e-mail confirmation of the despatch of the Order. The purchase contract will be concluded only on our acceptance of your Order in accordance with this paragraph 2.2. We are entitled to refuse without any liability your offer to purchase the products indicated in your Order, (a)  if we do not ship products to the country of the shipping address (‘designated country’), or if due to existing and applicable sanctions we cannot supply products to the designated country or if an ongoing conflict or situation within the designated country makes it impossible or difficult to supply products without us being subjected to undue risk, (b) the products ordered by you are out of stock (c) if we have made a genuine error as regards the availability and/or price of the products published on our website, (d) if we are not able to successfully use the payment details provided by you, (e) if we are not satisfied with your creditworthiness, (f) if after requesting for further information from you, we cannot confirm your identity, and/or (g) for any other reason that, by our policies and work ethics justifies our refusal of your Order. In case we cannot accept your Order for any of the above reasons, we will notify you via e-mail, and you will not be charged even if you have completed the online check-out process.

2.3       Products that are out of stock will either be indicated on our website as ‘sold out’ or they may no longer be displayed on the website. We may but are not obligated to restock products identical to the ones made available on our website earlier, as our products are often made from natural materials, which by nature can differ from one batch to the next. Therefore, if you intend on purchasing multiple items to create a set, we encourage you to purchase them at the same time to ensure uniformity of products. If you are in the process of building your Order and a product runs out of stock it will either no longer appear in your Order or a notification will appear to inform you that the product is no longer available.  We usually also have information displayed when stocks are running low and the option for you to sign up to our stock notifier to be emailed as soon as the desired items are back in stock. If you are ordering a product as a sample with the intention of purchasing more of the same kind, you should send us an email to confirm stock availability prior to ordering the sample. We shall have no responsibility to reimburse expenses incurred for products ordered as samples if you do not confirm stock availability with us prior to confirming your order of the sample, and subsequently find that the desired products are sold out. Some items are available to be pre-ordered. We will usually indicate when pre-ordered items will be ready for despatch. 

2.4       Once you have built your Order, before confirming the Order by clicking the Check-Out button, the details of your Order will be displayed, and you will have the opportunity to correct any errors and/or to revise your Order. 

2.5       Our confirmation of acceptance will be accompanied by the details of your Order, the Order reference number, and the corresponding invoice along with a link to these Terms.

2.6       You will be given the option to create your own account with us, which will enable you to save certain details such as your payment and shipping details. Creating an account facilitates a faster and more efficient order conclusion and check-out process. However, you may create an account at your own discretion. For the purposes of setting up an account with us, you will be required to create and use your login credentials. Any information that you submit for the purposes of creating and maintaining an account with us shall be governed by our Privacy Notice and applicable Data Protection Law.

3. Prices and Terms of Payment

3.1       The prices of products (‘Prices’) displayed on our website at the time you conclude an Order are binding. Your invoice will clearly indicate the total value of your Order, VAT applicable and shipping costs.

3.2       Depending on your shipping details and the shipping method selected, shipping charges will be added to your final invoice, which will be displayed to you once you conclude the check-out process. Subject to paragraph 2.2, we ship worldwide, and full information about our shipping charges, delivery timescales and minimum order thresholds for complimentary shipping can be found here.

3.3       Please note that unless stated otherwise our Prices do not include custom and import duties, for shipments outside of the United Kingdom. A list of the countries where we currently deliver products with import fees covered, i.e., where you will have no additional import fees to pay can be found here.

Please note that:

1. a) for some countries (for example, Europe) we deliver shipments with import fees covered for non-sale and/or non-outlet items only. If we are delivering sale items or items purchased from our outlet store, you will have to pay the applicable import fees
2. b) for shipments to countries where we do not deliver with the import fees covered you will have to pay an import fee to the concerned authorities, i.e., you may be subject to custom and import duties, which we will not be able to reflect in your invoice, as these will be calculated by the local authorities in the designated country. You are responsible for paying all customs and import duties directly to the concerned customs authorities. In the event you fail to pay import fees/custom duties, the authorities may seize the products, hold the products in a warehouse pending payment (the costs of which you will have to incur), levy fines on you, destroy the products, or return the products to us. We are not responsible for any expenses and/or consequences arising from, or as a result of your failure to pay import fees/custom duties. If the customs authorities return the products to us as a result of your failure to pay the import fees/custom duties we will refund the price of the products, net of any shipping costs incurred by us in relation to such returns. More information about shipping options offered by us and the applicable import fees can be found here. Please note that when products are being returned in accordance with this paragraph 3.3, we incur shipping costs that are higher than the shipping costs charged at the time of you placing the Order with us. You agree to get a refund net of the actual shipping costs incurred by us, and not just the shipping costs originally charged at the time of you placing the Order.

3.4       Your invoice will be sent via email to the email address that you have provided us, confirming our acceptance of your Order. Several methods of payment are available through our website. You should check if any foreign transaction fees are applicable when you pay in a currency other than the pound sterling. You should read the terms and conditions of the payment platform and/or the card issuer you choose to pay for the products that you buy from us, including any ‘buy now pay later’ platforms that you use. Please note that these charges are completely outside of our control, and you should contact your card issuer/payment platform for further details.  

3.5       Where we use third-party payment platforms, we use them exclusively as service providers for the purposes of facilitating payments from customers. We are in no way affiliated with third-party service providers, and often you will be redirected to their respective portals to complete your purchase securely. You must read the terms and conditions and privacy notices of such third-party service providers. Abe + Jo Limited is not liable for a third party’s terms of business and/or the way they collect and process your Personal Data. You should therefore read the terms and conditions and the privacy notice of the third-party service provider whose platform you use to make the payment to us.

3.8       Unless otherwise agreed, you must pay for the products in full prior to delivery. Failure to make full payment before the date of actual delivery shall entitle us to refuse delivery and/or cancel your Order.

4. Gift Cards 

4.1       Gift cards are not a cheque guarantee, credit or charge card. The card does not constitute electronic money for the purposes of the Electronic Money Regulations 2011 or a payment service for the purposes of the Payment Services Regulations 2017.

4.2       You can pay the initial opening balance for a gift card by any of the means of payment accepted by us.

4.3       All gift cards will be valid for 12 (twelve) months from the date of issue. We are unable to extend the expiry date of any gift card, and any remaining balance on the gift card will be void on the expiry of the 12 (twelve) month period. The card can be used as many times and for as many purchases as the cardholder chooses until the total balance of the card has been used up.

4.4       The minimum amount you can purchase on a gift card is £10 and the maximum is £1,000. Please note that gift cards are only available to purchase in British pounds sterling (£), and the value when used on purchases in other currencies may differ depending on the conversion rate.

4.5       Once a gift card has been purchased, it cannot be returned or exchanged for cash. If the value of your purchase is less than the amount on your gift card, the remaining balance on the gift card can be used on future orders before the gift card expiry date.

4.6       If an Order is purchased with a gift card and returned to us, the value will be refunded in accordance with our refund policy, back onto the same gift card, or where that card no longer exists when the items are returned, the price of the returned items will be credited to a new gift card, which will be sent by email to the email address of the customer who made the purchase with the card. The balance will be available for use for 12 months from the original date of issue of the gift card. This does not affect your statutory rights.

4.7       Exchanges are allowed for orders purchased using a gift card. If the value of the exchange order is below the value of the order being returned, the difference in value will be restored back onto the gift card. If the value of the exchange order is higher than the order being returned, the amount on the gift card can be used towards the purchase, along with another payment method to pay for the difference. 

4.8       A gift card cannot be used to purchase another gift card. Unless otherwise stated, promotional codes cannot be used to purchase gift cards.

4.9       Orders for physical gift cards are only available for purchase within the United Kingdom. All international gift card orders will be for an e-gift card that will be sent directly to the email address provided by you. Gift cards can be purchased for and on behalf of a different recipient other than the purchaser. For physical gift card orders to be sent within the United Kingdom, at checkout you will be asked to enter the delivery address of the recipient. For all domestic and international e-gift card orders, you will be asked to enter the recipient’s email address at checkout. Please note that gift cards cannot be transferred or re-assigned by you or the recipient to anyone else once they have been purchased.

4.10      In case of loss or damage to a physical or e-gift card, please contact us at [email protected], stating your name and order number. If your gift card is still valid, we will cancel it and reissue a new one with the same balance and for the remainder of the 12 (twelve) month period, which commenced on the date of issue of the gift card.

4.11      If you have any issues with using your gift card, or to find out the balance on your gift card, please contact us at [email protected].

4.12      We reserve the right to refuse to accept a gift card where we have reason to believe it is being used fraudulently. If we have reason to believe that you are using a gift card fraudulently, we reserve the right to verify your identity and/or to cancel your order and terminate your account with us.

4.13      For e-gift cards, we will not be responsible for any failure or delay in the delivery of the gift card to its intended recipient if it is caused by events or circumstances beyond our reasonable control including without limitation, (i) technical breakdowns or faults in the telecommunications lines/systems, (ii) a delay in the transmission of information or data or (iii) the loss of information or data which may occur under any of the circumstances attributable to technical errors or breakdowns or the inaccuracy of the details of the recipient of the e-gift card provided by the purchaser of the card, (iv) or the impossibility of delivery of the e-gift card to the email address provided, or (v) the fact that the email sent is deemed to be spam or an unwanted email by the recipient of the e-gift card.

 Delivery, Delivery Time and Shipping Charges

5.1       We ship worldwide unless due to existing and applicable sanctions and or export restrictions we cannot supply products to the designated country or if an ongoing conflict or situation within the designated country makes it impossible or difficult to supply products without us being subjected to undue risk, or unless we are restricted from delivering a shipment due to a Force Majeure event.

 5.2       Once your Order has been despatched you will receive an email from us notifying you that your Order has been despatched. The delivery time will depend on your shipping address, delivery method selected and sometimes external factors such as delays in postal and delivery services during festive or sale periods, or as a result of supervening events beyond the reasonable control of the Parties, for which we shall have no liability. If you have paid for next-day UK shipping and fail to receive the Order by the next working day for reasons other than your own fault or inability to accept the parcel, we shall refund the next-day UK shipping charges. However, no refunds are available for international shipping charges if a shipment from us is received later than the estimated lead time. This is due to several factors outside of our control being involved in international shipping such as processing time by customs authorities, delivery time taken by our delivery partners, etc. You can find more information about indicative shipping costs and delivery timescales here. Please note that the delivery timescales published on our website are purely indicative, and not guaranteed.

5.3       Delays beyond a Party’s reasonable control:

1. As much as we can, we endeavour to deliver your Order within the estimated lead time. Therefore, we will despatch your order at the earliest we can. Please note:
2. that pre-ordered items can only be despatched after we receive stock
3. lead times may be longer during Christmas, Black Friday and similar busy periods. 
4. We use postal/delivery services of good standing (we usually use DPD, DHL or Royal Mail) for all deliveries within the United Kingdom and overseas.
5. Our delivery partners DPD, DHL, and Royal Mail, provide a track and trace service, and once you have been notified that your Order has been despatched you will be able to track your delivery. In case you cannot track your shipment or have any queries in relation to your shipment please contact us at [email protected].
6. There may however be delays in the delivery of your Order or the possibility of damage during transit for reasons beyond the reasonable control of the Parties. Where there is a delay in the delivery of the Order, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do that, we will not be liable for the delivery of the Order and any delays caused thereto. In case you receive damaged products please contact us at [email protected]so that we may be able to address the situation in accordance with our ‘Faulty Goods Return Policy’ as outlined in paragraph 7 of these Terms. 
7. Please note that we will not be liable for delays caused by customs authorities and customs clearance. We will endeavour to liaise with our delivery partners and customs authorities to provide any information that they may need to expedite customs clearance and the delivery of your Order, including the disclosure of your Personal Data. Occasionally customs authorities may contact you directly, and you consent to us sharing your Personal Data with our delivery partners and customs authorities for such purposes. You must make yourself contactable by customs authorities and or our delivery partners. In the event you cannot be contacted by customs authorities we will authorise the return of your Order to us, and shall refund the price of the products, net of any shipping costs incurred by us in relation to such returns. Please read paragraph 5.4 to know more about how we charge shipping costs for products being returned.

5.4       Shipping charges if applicable will be added to your invoice in accordance with paragraph 3.2. If the Order cannot be delivered for reasons attributable to you such as, without limitation, a mistyped address, failure to collect a parcel from a collection point or unavailability at your address, additional shipping charges resulting from redelivery of the Order will have to be paid by you. For example, if you have made an error in entering your shipping address, as a result of which the Order is delivered to the wrong address or our delivery partners attempt delivery without success, we will arrange for re-delivery at additional shipping charges payable by you. We will send you an email with payment instructions for the payment of further shipping charges. Should you wish to cancel your Order without attempting re-delivery, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us). The cost of returns shipping will have to be incurred by you, and we will deduct this from the refund amount due to you. If you wish to cancel your Order in accordance with our Return and Refund Policy, after we have re-delivered the Order to you, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the cost of one delivery only (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of  delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us). In the case of re-delivered orders we shall not re-imburse the shipping expenses incurred in re-delivering the order. You shall bear the cost of returns shipping when returning any items to us.

5.5        Risk of loss and title for item(s):

1. a) The products will become yours once they have been delivered and you have paid for the products in full.
2. b) The risk of loss and title for item(s) purchased by you will pass to you upon the delivery of the item(s) to you or in accordance with your instructions by us or our carrier, i.e., the products will become your responsibility from the time we or our carrier deliver the products to the address you gave us, and/or in accordance with your instructions such as, without limitation, delivery to a neighbour, front door or safe place.
