The Agreement (Contract) Between You and Us

After you place your order we email you a summary of your order.

We charge your payment card, Paypal or Gift Card with the total cost of the items we’re sending you and any delivery fees.

The contract between us is only created once we send you the products you ordered, and not before. It means we have accepted your offer and fully communicated this to you.

You may cancel any order prior to the point at which we email you to confirm dispatch of your order (in certain circumstances your right to cancel continues until 30 Calendar days after the day of delivery). See Cancelling Orders below

Though we check our system frequently to try to avoid errors, things can occasionally go wrong with the ordering process. If we make a mistake we will do our best to put things right as quickly as we can, with as little inconvenience to you as possible. We do however reserve the right to cancel any order for any reason at any time prior to dispatch, for example (but not limited to) where there is an obvious material mistake in the price or product information.

All orders are made subject to these terms and conditions. Please refer to “Magazine Subscriptions Terms and Conditions” in relation to any magazine subscription ordered.

Accessibility of our Website

We want to make using our site as easy as possible, which includes making it accessible for people with disabilities.

Your Privacy When You Shop Online with Us

We want you to be able to shop with confidence on our site, which is why we take the privacy of your personal information very seriously.

When you shop with us, you give us certain personal details, such as your name, email address and payment address. We hold such information securely using SSL encryption software. SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer which is the industry standard security technology for keeping data private during online transactions. This means your personal information cannot be read by anyone who should not see it.

You will notice the web address (URL) is https when you go through to the Darworth.com checkout. This shows that the site is using SSL and your details are protected.

We comply with all applicable data protection legislation, and we treat all your personal information as confidential. We are committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that provides a safe online experience.

To process your order efficiently, reputable third-party banking and distribution institutions handle the credit and debit card transactions and order fulfilment. They receive the information needed to verify and authorize your payment card and to process your order. These organizations are under strict legal and contractual obligations to keep your personal information private.

We do not require you to create an account to shop with us. New customers have the option to create an account by adding a password after they have checked out.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files. Many websites place cookies on your computer when you visit. Cookies are used to make websites work, or to make them work more efficiently, and to provide useful information to website operators.

Many web browsers allow users to control most cookies through their browser settings. However doing so will prevent the checkout from working and you will not be able to place orders.

The cookies we use and their purposes are listed in our Privacy Policy. More information about cookies, including details on viewing what cookies have been set and how to delete them is available at: visit allaboutcookies.org.

Availability of Products

We update our availability information regularly but occasionally a product may run out between updates.

We do our best to dispatch your products within the lead time shown on the product page when you order. If this is not possible, your order will be sent out as soon as the goods become available. If we can’t supply your order within 30 days, we will cancel the order – except for products that have not been published or released yet.

The dispatch and delivery times shown are approximate and delays can sometimes occur. Delivery times are based on Working days (Monday-Friday, excluding Public Holidays).

We will email you as soon as your order is ready to be dispatched.

Age Restrictions

You must be over 18 to use Darworth.com. By placing an order you confirm that you are at least 18 and legally capable of entering into a binding contract. When you place an order this means you are aware of any age restrictions on the products and agree that you are old enough to buy them.

For products which require age verification before purchase, our system will run a check using the customer’s name and date of birth, or their credit card or PayPal account, to confirm that they are above the legal age to buy them. Darworth cannot sell age verified items to any customers who fail this check.

Delivery Restrictions

Certain products are subject to delivery restrictions. You will find details of any delivery restriction displayed on the product page. We can only send products to Tanzania addresses.

PO Box addresses: in some instances we may not be able to deliver parcels to PO Box address – we will let you know if there is an issue.

Prices and VAT

Prices may vary from Darworth stores; the prices you see online are only valid on the website, not in our stores.

Prices shown on this site include VAT, where and to the extent that VAT is required to be applied to the product under Tanzania VAT law.

Delivery charges are extra. See full details of delivery charges

We make every effort to ensure the prices on our website are correct but we can sometimes make a mistake. If we notice a material price mistake before we dispatch something you have ordered, we will ask if you want to pay the correct price or cancel your order. If we do not hear from you, we will cancel your order.

We reserve the right to change prices listed without notice. All orders for products are subject to availability. We reserve the right to refuse to supply to any individual or company.

Promotions and Discounts

All promotions are subject to availability. Prices and promotions change a lot online. We will always charge you the price we gave you when you placed your order, even if a promotion is subsequently withdrawn.

Book and magazine discounts are taken off the recommended retail price or cover price (RRP).

Stationery, gifts, games, toys, computing and electronics discounts are taken off the previous selling price

To qualify for a multi-buy discount, e.g. buy 3 for the price of 2, you need to select the right number of products. If not, you will be charged the normal price.

The extra discount will be applied automatically to your total basket price (the cheapest item will be discounted/free). You cannot cancel a single item that you bought as part of a multi-buy promotion – you need to cancel all of the promoted products.

Payment Details

All product prices and delivery charges are shown in UK pounds sterling.

We accept payment by Bank Transfers, Check payments, Credit Cards, Debit Cards, Paypal, Laybuy and Darworth Gift Cards.

We charge for all the items and delivery fees when you place your order.

Credit and Debit Cards we accept are Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Maestro, Delta and JCB.

On rare occasions when we go to pick your item(s) we may find that it is damaged or we do not have the item in stock. In these circumstances, we will have charged your credit / debit card expecting to dispatch your item(s). Therefore, we will refund the order and re-order the item(s) on your behalf. Your statement will show a charge and refund in short succession. We will then charge your card when the item(s) comes back into stock and we are ready to dispatch it.

Our system can hold several payment cards per account. Your order will be charged to the payment card that you assigned to it.

If we are unable to fulfill the order we will refund you to the payment type you used.
