By placing your order with us you are accepting these Terms and Conditions. Where you do not accept these Terms and Conditions in full, you do not have permission to access the contents of this website and should cease using it immediately.

You may use our website only for lawful purposes. You agree that you will be personally responsible for your use of this website and for all of your communication and activity on and pursuant to this website. If we determine that you are or have been engaged in prohibited activities, were not respectful of other users, or otherwise violated the terms of use of this website, we may deny you access to this website on a temporary or permanent basis. We reserve the right to withdraw or amend the service we provide on our website without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason our website is unavailable at any time or for any period.

1. General

1.1. When we receive your order you will receive an automated e-mail reply acknowledging receipt. No contract shall come into existence until we have accepted your order.  We will accept your order by way of a confirmatory e-mail (‘Confirmation of Order’) which will confirm that we are able to send you the goods you have ordered, the price and the estimated delivery date.  Confirmation of Order shall contain all of the information regarding the goods you have ordered.  You must immediately check the details contained in the Confirmation of Order and we advise you to print and keep a copy of it.  

1.2. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account and any activities that occur under your account. Esin Akan shall not be liable to any person for any loss or damage which may arise as a result of any failure by you to protect your password or account

1.3. All prices are displayed on our site in Pounds Sterling (£). Please note that all purchases will be charged in Pounds Sterling (£).

The prices exclude VAT (where applicable), which will be added to the total amount due as set out in our Delivery Policy.

Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.

Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices, as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and could have reasonably been recognized by you as a mis-pricing.

Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card. We accept payment by Visa, Visa Debit, Visa Electron and MasterCard.

1.4. We have aimed to ensure that the colors of our products appearing on our website are as near as possible to the color of the product. However, the actual colors you see will depend on your computer equipment, and accordingly, we are unable to guarantee the precise color of the product on delivery.

1.5. Neither we nor any third parties provide any warranty or guarantee as to the accuracy, timeliness, performance, completeness or suitability of the information and materials found or offered on this website for any particular purpose. You acknowledge that such information and materials may contain inaccuracies or errors and we expressly exclude liability for any such inaccuracies or errors to the fullest extent permitted by law.

1.6. All products are subject to availability. We will inform you as soon as reasonably possible in the event that the goods you have ordered are unavailable. In the event that the goods that you have ordered are unavailable a full refund will be offered upon request unless you would like to pre-order the item and wait for the delivery about 8 weeks.

1.7. Based on continuous customer feedback, we may make small changes on the design of the product such as logo execution, the zip length, and the quality of the lining. All these changes could take place in order to improve the design, durability and quality of our products. By ordering our products you accept to buy the products with such changes. In case, you do not like the changes when you receive the product, you could return the product within 14 days after receiving and we will offer a refund.

2.  Delivery

2.1.  We will aim to dispatch the goods ordered by you as soon as possible after your order has been accepted by us to the postal address you have given in your order.  Our average shipping time for goods that are in stock is 2-3 working days. However, we cannot guarantee an exact delivery date and your goods may take longer to be dispatched if the goods you have ordered are not in stock at the time of placing your order or they are to be dispatched to an address outside of the UK. 

2.2.  Title of the goods shall pass to you at the time payment for the goods is received by us in full.  Risk in any product ordered will pass to you upon dispatch of your order.

2.3. In case a product is not available in stock, you will be given the option to Pre-Orders the product.  Our average production time to deliver the pre-ordered products is 4 weeks and this time may vary depending on the availability of the raw materials. However, please be aware that because of the “pre-sale” nature of such transactions, you should expect approximately 8-12 weeks between the estimated shipment date and the date the order is placed. If you pre-order Products, at the time you place your order, you will be required to pay hundred percent (100%) of the amount due. We will then inform you by email when your product is ready for dispatch from our warehouse in UK.
