4. How does STIX work?
   1. We operate the Website as an electronic marketplace platform, and we allow you to make Orders to pay for Products through the Website and have the Product(s) delivered to the address you specify.
   2. The Contract is between you and the relevant Retailer, not us. You are buying the Products from the Retailer, not us. However, we are authorised to act as the agent of our Retailers (who act as principal) to conclude and enter into the Contract with you.
   3. We are simply the intermediary marketing and promotions platform which facilitates your making Orders with Retailers and your payment for that Order.

   6. We aim to use the Listings to give you the information you need to know about the essential characteristics of the Products. Although we try to make sure they are as faithful as possible to the real thing, any images shown in the Listings are for illustrative purposes only – given the digital method of presentation it is possible that your perception may not exactly match the relevant Product itself. Although we have made every effort to be as accurate as possible, any Products which are handmade may vary, all sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated on our site have a 2% tolerance.
   7. The packaging of your Products may vary from that shown on images on the Website.

   3. Acknowledging receipt of your Order. After you place an Order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received it, but please note that this does not mean that your Order has been accepted.

We will send you that Order confirmation email to the email address you used during the checkout process.

Please note that the delivery company may leave your parcel with a neighbour – you will be advised of this on the calling card.
   7. If you do not re-arrange delivery. If, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect the Product our Retailer may contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs.

   8. When you become responsible for the Product. A Product will be your responsibility from the time the Product is delivered to the address you gave us.
   9. What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the Products to you. If so, this will have been stated in the description of the Products on our Website. We will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the Contract or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result.

10. Return and refund
    1. Our Returns Policy details how and when you can return any Products you have Ordered and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

11. Cancelling your Order
    1. As you are purchasing the Products online you have a legal right to change your mind within fourteen (14) days from delivery of the Products and receive a refund (including costs of delivery but excluding the costs of return). However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of:

2. Any Products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.

2. To cancel the Contract, you must complete the Contact Us form on our Website. If you use this method we will email you to confirm we have received your cancellation.

3. You can also email us at info@stixstudios.com If you are emailing us, please include details of your Order to help us to identify it. If you send us your cancellation notice by email, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the email. For example, you will have given us notice in time as long as you email us before midnight on that day.
4. If you have returned the Products to us because they are faulty or mis-described, we will refund the price of the Products and will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay.
5. We will discharge the relevant Retailer’s obligations to you in this regard acting as their agent.

12. Delivery
    1. Your shopping basket on the Website displays the Product you have chosen, the Retailer who shall provide them and details of postage and packing. The delivery costs for each Retailer vary according to the delivery methods they offer. Any delivery times quoted are in working days.
    2. Where you choose to have them delivered, the Products you Order will be delivered by Retailers using a third party courier service. Please note that any estimated delivery dates displayed on the Website, or in any confirmation email or webpage, are simply estimates – they do not represent a guarantee that the Products will arrive by that delivery estimate. Furthermore, where parcels are held by customs clearance agencies, there may be significant delays to delivery. Unfortunately, these delays are beyond our control and we cannot accept responsibility for them. If you do not receive a delivery in time, you may cancel your Order in accordance with the cancellation policy detailed below, as well as the practices described in your Returns Policy.
    3. If you Order Products for delivery to a location outside the UK, those Products may be subject to import duties, taxes, and potentially other fees which are levied when the delivery reaches the specified destination. You (and not us, nor the relevant Retailer) will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please note that we have no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount. Please contact your local customs office for further information. Depending on the postal services used by the brand, you will have either an option to pay any additional fees online by following the tracking number available once your order is shipped or directly to your courier upon delivery. NB: you will be required to pay these import taxes before your order will be released to you. Unfortunately, if you fail to pay any charges and the parcel is returned to sender, we will not be able to refund your order.
    4. Occasionally delivery to you may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control. See clause (Events outside our control) for our responsibilities when this happens.
    5. Delivery is complete once the Products have been unloaded at the address for delivery set out in your order and the Products will be at your risk from that time.
13. Price of Products
    1. The prices of the Products will be as quoted on our Website at the time you submit your Order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the platform.
    2. Prices for our Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any Order you have already placed.
    3. The price of Products includes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your Order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.
    4. The price of the Products does not include delivery charges. The delivery charges are as advised to you during the check-out process before you confirm your Order.
    5. We sell a large number of Products through our Website. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Products on our Website may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that:
       1. where the Products' correct price is less than the price stated on our Website, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Products to you; and
       2. if the Products' correct price is higher than the price stated on our Website, we will contact you in writing as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Products at the correct price or cancelling your Order. We will not process your Order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the Order process, we will treat the Order as cancelled and notify you in writing. However, if we mistakenly accept and process your Order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may cancel supply of the Products and refund you any sums you have paid.
