Terms & Conditions

Acceptance of Orders

Once that has been done, we will confirm your order has been received by sending an E-mail to the address you provided at registration time. Where products are in stock, we aim to despatch your order within 2 working days. Due to circumstances beyond our control, however, this is not always possible, so please allow 14 days for delivery.

We accept payment by most major credit or debit cards. Payment will be debited from your account before the despatch of your purchase. All credit and charge card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your card refuses to authorise payment to us, we will notify you as soon as possible.

However, different computers reproduce colours in slightly different ways, and so exact colour matches are not yet possible over the Internet. This means that when you receive products, colours may differ from what you see on the screen. If you are not satisfied with the colour of the item you have ordered, we operate a returns policy (see the Returns section for more information).

Forgotten password

If you have forgotten your password, all you need to do is enter your email address on the reset password page and we will email you a new, randomly generated password. You can change your password to a more memorable one in Your Account.

Privacy promise

Your privacy is of the highest importance to us, and we promise never to release your personal details to any outside company for mailing or marketing purposes.

When you make a purchase from our website, we collect certain personal information from you (for example: your name, email address, payment address and details). All such information is held on secure servers. HM Marketing complies fully with all applicable Data Protection and consumer legislation, and will treat all your personal information as fully confidential. We promise only to use your phone number to contact you in case of a query.

In order to serve you most efficiently, our credit transactions are handled by a reputable third-party bank. They receive the information needed to verify and authorise your payment card.

Security policy

You can tell whether a page is secure as 'https' will replace the 'http' at the start of the address in your browser. A small locked padlock will also appear in the bottom bar of your browser window (Internet Explorer users only).

E-mail Marketing Policy

Mailing list

Subscribers to our mailing list will receive no more than 1 E-mail per quarter. This does not include E-mail messages that are brought about through your use of our website or responses to customer questions from our customer services team.

Stock notifications

The stock notification system allows you to track products you wish to purchase which are currently out of stock. Stock notifications help you to beat the rush when ordering items that frequently sell out in a short space of time. When you view a product on our website which is out of stock you will be given the option to request a notification via E-mail when it next becomes available. A temporary notification will send you an E-mail the next time the item becomes available only. A permanent notification will send you an E-mail on every subsequent occasion the item becomes available, until cancelled by you. You can cancel both types of notification at any time from the Stock Notifications section of Your Account. You will receive at most 1 message per day which lists each of the available items. Stock notification E-mails do not count toward the total for the mailing list as described above.
