Prices and Payment

Prices quoted are correct at time of entering information. We reserve the right to change prices and specification of any item on the Web site at our discretion without prior notice or to withdraw any items at any time.

We are not responsible for your card issuer or bank charging you as a result of our processing of your credit/debit card payment.

Security

Credit/debit card details are encrypted to minimize the possibility of unauthorized access or disclosure. We accept orders only from Web browsers that permit communication through Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, for example, 3.0 version or higher of Explorer and versions 3.02 or higher of Netscape. This means you cannot inadvertently place an order through an unsecured connection. Your complete credit card number is transferred to this secure machine across a proprietary one-way interface. This computer is not accessible by network or modem and the number is not stored anywhere else.

Cancellation and Returns

If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase you may return it under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, within 14 days of delivery for an exchange or refund. However the following points must be observed:

• Items must be returned in an unused condition with the original packaging, along with the receipt or other valid proof of purchase.

• If the seal has been removed from the mouthpiece, we assume that the chanter has been played and are therefore unable to accept returns.

• Mouth blown items that have been played are unacceptable for return, due to hygiene implications.
