1. "AQ" refers to Atelier Quinze, Beverley Hicklin and/or employees.
2. "AQ" reserve the right to withdraw from sale, without prior notice, any item previously sold, although every effort will be made to update the website as quickly as possible. As many items are unique, it is not possible to guarantee an item has not already been sold in our boutique. We will endeavour to keep the site as up-to-date as possible but in the event an item is sold, we will offer you an alternative or give a full refund.
3. To place an order, add each item to your shopping cart and follow the checkout process. Please note: until payment has been made, the item(s) will still be available on the site. All items are sold on a 'first come, first served' basis.
4. Current shipping policy: Delivery charges are free of charge to addresses within mainland France with a minimum order value of €50. Order value below €50 will incur postage charge of €10. Delivery addresses outside France but within the EU and on our region delivery area list, will incur a postal charge of €15. The list of delivery regions/countries can be seen on the checkout page by searching the drop down menu. For non EU/international deliveries shown on our delivery regions page, the delivery will be €40 (sorry, but postage nowadays is very expensive, however we will send your parcel with insurance and tracking). Customer is responsible for any customs charges/tariffs/VAT payable at point of delivery. "AQ" aims to dispatch all orders promptly on receipt of cleared payment. This is usually the same day for orders placed before noon CET unless an item is being made to order. Military addresses (APO/FPO): Please contact us before ordering so we can confirm the correct shipping rate and delivery options.
5. "AQ" will send all deliveries by the most appropriate postal service for your region and include insurance cover in the event of loss or non delivery. All postal services are subject to dispatcher’s terms and conditions. Therefore, orders will not be classified as lost until 15 working days after the due delivery date. No refunds or replacements can be issued until this time has elapsed. Please supply a delivery address where a signature can be obtained. In the event that a signature cannot be obtained, a further delivery charge may be made to you to re-deliver. NB. "AQ" reserve the right to change delivery methods in the event of changes to services available. "AQ" is not responsible for any customs charges/import fees in the country of destination and these must be paid by the purchaser, where applicable. We recommend checking your country's import regulations before placing your order.
6. "AQ" can accept payment by debit or credit card payments via Paypal. "AQ" reserves the right to refuse delivery to unconfirmed or unverified PayPal addresses. We do not accept PayPal e-cheques as experience shows this form of payment to be slow (sometimes taking up to 3 weeks) and this will delay dispatch of your order. "AQ" reserves the right to return any payments made by e-cheque. All items remain the legal property of "AQ" until paid for in full.
7. Returns - "AQ" will refund the full cost of an item, including postage (if applicable), if it is faulty, PROVIDED it is returned within 7 days of delivery in its original condition, has not been worn/used and is in its original packaging. Custom or personalised orders cannot be returned or exchanged. For international order refunds, any customs duties, import taxes, or local charges paid by the customer are the responsibility of the customer and are not included in the purchase price or shipping costs. These charges are paid directly to the relevant customs authority and cannot be refunded by us. This is something you should discuss with your local authorities. If your item arrives faulty or damaged, please contact us as soon as possible so we can help resolve the issue and find the best solution.
8. All "AQ" products' yarn content are described as accurately as possible, where known. Where blends of yarn are used this will be stated. "AQ" cannot make guarantees as to yarn content. If in doubt, please ask. All sizes are approximate.
