  1. An order is not accepted until we have confirmed it is dispatched.  Occasionally we run out of stock of items and we will notify you and offer a full refund if this is the case.  We are not obliged to fulfil orders where we do not have adequate stock particularly during sale periods as we make no confirmation that the stock is in stock when you order. The website stock levels are only indicative.

Special offers can be removed at any time without prior notice.  Only one special offer can be used against an order.

Special offers cannot be combined or used in conjunction with other special offers.  When making a payment using a special offer or otherwise taking advantage of a special offer, you are bound by these General Terms and Conditions in the same way as if you had booked online.  Special offers do not apply to corporate group bookings where separate price lists are available by negotiation.

Despatch and Delivery

  1. Delivery to the UK can be by courier or Royal Mail.  Delivery outside the UK is by airmail or an international courier.
  1. We are restricted in what we can send by UK and international rules and the policies of postal services providers.  Full details of restrictions can be found at http://www.royalmail.com/sites/default/files/6966_Dangerous_Goods_A5_Bus... In particular, we cannot despatch aerosols for delivery outside the UK.   In addition, sale of knives in the UK is restricted so purchasers must be over 18 years of age.  It Is up to you to ensure that your order complies with restrictions in the destination jurisdiction.  We do not check this.  For example, in certain jurisdictions the purchase of items containing alcohol may be prohibited and such items may be confiscated.
  1. Should you order something in our shop which we cannot ship to your country and we be aware of this, we will remove it from your parcel and refund you.  Should we not be aware of any restriction and the item be confiscated during transit we will not be liable for any replacement or reimbursement.
  1. If you selected delivery to the UK by courier and we received your order before 2 pm on a weekday when we are open for business (a “Business Day”), we aim to despatch your order on that day.  We cannot guarantee a same day despatch or a next day delivery. Courier orders received after 2 pm on a Business Day will be despatched on the next Business Day or as close as possible to that.   Deliveries other than by courier are despatched within three to five Business Days.
  1. Courier orders are typically delivered to UK destinations the day (not being a Sunday or a bank holiday) after despatch.  Courier orders to the ‘offshore destinations’ (Northern Ireland, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Scilly Isles and Isle of Wight), the Scottish Highlands (AB30-38, AB44-56, FK17-99, G83, IV1-28, IV30-39, IV52-54, IV63, KW1-14, PA21-33, PA34-40, PH18-26, PH30, PH31-41, PH49-50) and the Scottish Islands (HS1-9, IV40-51, IV55-56, KA27-28, KW15-17, PA20, PA41-49, PA60-78, PH42-44, ZE1-3) will typically take another day.  Courier services are fully tracked so you can track progress. Couriers will attempt delivery to UK destinations three times.  Delivery other than by courier should take the time indicated by Royal Mail but there is no guarantee of this.
  1. Whichever delivery option you select, postage and packaging costs are calculated based on a combination of weight and destination and will be calculated as disclosed to you before you complete your purchase.  If for any reason, the cost of postage and packaging is higher than that previously disclosed to you, we will notify you prior to taking further payment from you.  If a courier has attempted UK delivery of your order three times but been unable to do so, you may need to make a further payment in order to take delivery.
  1. You must notify us at [email protected] in the unfortunate event that your order is not delivered:
  • within 48 hours of the expected delivery time, if delivery by courier to a UK destination.  It is very rare that the delivery cannot  be tracked, but we need you to contact us urgently if you don’t receive it as, the more time passes, the less likely that the courier company will be able to put its finger on it.  The courier company only compensates for losses over £35 so if you fail to notify us within 24 hours we may not be able to refund you if the parcel is not located
  • within 14 days of your order for UK deliveries by Royal Mail.  We cannot take action (such as contacting the postal services) for 28 days as Royal Mail insists certain time periods have passed before they will conduct an investigation, following which we will help you deal with the Royal Mail.  You can claim up to £50 from Royal Mail; and
  • within 28 days of your order for non-UK deliveries.  We will provide such reasonable assistance as we can in finding the parcel and making a claim but may not be familiar with your local postal service.  If the delivery problem occurred in the UK, you can claim up to £50 from Royal Mail.
  1. We do not pay refunds if an international order is lost where you have opted for a non tracked service and you agree not to seek any recourse to us if your parcel does not arrive in any overseas jurisdiction. We cannot accept responsibility for loss caused by the postal agencies’/courier’s failure to deliver a parcel on time or at all as these are outside our control but we will assist you to deal with them where possible.  In no circumstances will we accept liability for any direct or consequential loss caused directly or indirectly through use of, non-delivery or damaged condition of a product purchased in the Pretty Witty Cakes Ltd online shop.
  1. If your goods arrive in a damaged condition, send us a photo within 48 hours at [email protected] .  We will then investigate the matter and either replace the goods or provide you with a refund, at our discretion.  Prior to such replacement/refund you may need to return the damaged parcel and/or provide supporting evidence (in order to support any claim we make) at your own cost.   We will refund transport up to the value of first class post only (and not for courier, taxi or other costs). .  In no circumstances will we accept liability for any direct or consequential loss caused directly or indirectly through use of, non-delivery or damaged condition of a product purchased in the Pretty Witty Cakes Ltd online shop.
  1. Ownership of the goods ordered passes to you when we hand your order to the courier or otherwise obtain ‘proof of postage’ at the time of posting.  This means that damage of, or loss to, your item after that point in time is at your expense and we are under no obligation to compensate you for that.  You are welcome to arrange insurance for your item to cover the risk of its loss or damage in transit.
  1. If a foreign authority/customs office detains a parcel for any reason (for example, local customs and excise rules and regulations), it is for you to obtain the release of that parcel.  We will try to help (by providing delivery/manifest details, for example) where we reasonably can.
  1. For items that are shipped internationally, you may be charged import tax/duty or a levy or fee by your local authorities.  It is your responsibility to pay these.  We cannot advise for particular jurisdictions whether these apply or how much they are likely to be but we will try to help you minimise the cost if we can.
  1. For European orders, our website cannot operate a reverse charge principle on VAT automatically. We therefore do not supply goods or services to European companies that are VAT registered in reverse charge countries only to non VAT registered companies and natural persons. If you wish to purchase from Europe you will need to complete your purchase both in terms of billing address and shipping address as a natural person not as a VAT registered company. Failure to do so will be your responsibility and we accept no responsibility for any loss this may cause you. You may be required to return your goods for a refund at your own expense should you failed to comply with this condition - subject to edible goods which cannot be returned.
  1. If, for any reason, there is a problem with your order or an item missing, you must notify us within 24 hours of receipt via email of the problem.  Failure to notify us within this time means that we cannot take any steps to deal with the problem.
  1. We do not make any representations as to whether you can use the items in the shop in your own jurisdiction. You are 100% responsible for fully checking that the shop item is safe and legal to use in your own jurisdiction. In relation to food items, it is your responsibility to ensure the item is food safe in your own country and we accept no responsibility if you purchase something which are you are not permitted to use in your own country.

Returns and Refunds

  1. If you change your mind about a product, you have the right to return it for a refund or exchange if you do so within 7 days (counted from the day you place your order). We do not offer refunds if you change your mind after that 7 days has expired.  This right to a return within 7 days does not apply to edible items.  If you return because you change your mind, we do not refund your postage costs and you have to pay the costs of returning the item to us.  Please note that for health and safety reasons, we cannot exchange or refund any edible products for any reason whatsoever.

Sale Goods

  1. If you buy anything in our sale section you cannot return it for any reason.  Sale items are items that may be nearing the end of their shelf life or items that are end of line and we cannot therefore accept returns. Please note edible items cannot be returned whether they are full price or sale price to ensure all health and safety laws are complied with

CLASS BOOKINGS

  1. This section applies to face to face live classes if we are running those.

  1. We cannot hold class places pending payment under any circumstances.
  1. Class places cannot be booked in instalments unless specifically advertised for that class. Instalment payment options can currently only be made by phone or offline via a PayPal request and therefore do not qualify for online payment prices, discounts or for reward points. Although instalment options are available, they are only available to the original non-discounted price of the class.
  1. If you pay by instalments, your place is secured only once you have paid your deposit.  If you later fail to make the instalment payments on the due date, you will lose your deposit and all prior payments.  ALL payments made are completely non-refundable if you fail to complete the payments on the instalment date. We will remind you via email of any payment dates for instalments.  It is your responsibility to provide an active email address when booking so we can notify you of instalment payments.  We are not obliged to notify you if you have missed a payment date.  If you miss a payment date, we reserve the right to pass your place to someone else without further notice.
  1. Refunds are not available once payment has been made for any reason.  Please check carefully that you can make the dates before you book.  This applies to any Class booking, bulk booking, gift or any other method of booking.

Special offers on classes

We occasionally run special offers on the Website, social media accounts controlled by us, including but not limited to Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and Pinterest accounts ("Our Social Media Accounts") and elsewhere. Special offers can be removed at any time without prior notice.  Only one special offer can be used against a booking.  Special offers cannot be combined or used in conjunction with other special offers.  When making a payment using a special offer or otherwise taking advantage of a special offer, you are bound by these General Terms and Conditions in the same way as if you had booked online.  Special offers do not apply to corporate group bookings where separate price lists are available by negotiation

Joining details

Booking classes for other people

  1. You can book classes for yourself or for other people.  If booking for someone else, please ensure you tell us of the name and email address of the person who will be attending.  In default of this, all information will be sent to you rather than the attendee.
  1. If we are not notified of the person attending the class, we reserve the right to refuse entry to a person who is not recorded as the attendee at or during the booking process.
  1. We do not allow children under 16 to attend the class (with the exception of special children’s classes).  A child under 16 can attend with an adult accompanying them who would also have to purchase a place on the class.

  1. If you buy a place as a gift for someone else, please notify us at the time of booking.

Cancelling, moving place and refunds on classes .

  1. Once a class has been booked and paid for, the contract is not cancellable by the Customer.  We are unable to offer any refunds for any reason if you are unable to attend.  This includes if you cancel a place at any time for any reason or if you make a mistake in booking.
  1. Due to the popularity of classes, we cannot move your place on a class to another date after you have booked so please ensure you can attend that date.
  1. Pretty Witty Cakes Ltd strongly advise that students arrange insurance to cover unforeseen events which may prevent them from attending their class and seek to cover any class cost or any travel and accommodation costs that have been incurred.  Students are advised to research companies who provide insurance to cover the position if you cancel your place.  For example, www.cancelsure-insurance.co.uk . We do not recommend Cancelsure as a provider for you as you must make your own decision as to which insurance company to use.
  1. Taking out insurance is particularly important during the winter months when the likelihood of unfavourable weather and associated travel disruption is higher.
  1. In the unlikely event that we have to cancel your place on a Class, we will offer an alternative date(s) to you and if no alternative date is made available by us, we will provide you with a full refund of the cost of your class.  Our liability is limited to the cost of the class place only.  By purchasing a class, you accept that our liability is limited to the cost of the class place and cannot be greater than £250.  To the maximum extent permissible in law, Pretty Witty Cakes Ltd excludes all liability for loss (whether direct, indirect, economic or consequential loss) however incurred by the Customer, arising from any act or omission or failure by Pretty Witty Cakes Ltd, its owner, employees or contractors  in connection with the Class.
  1. We cannot be responsible if a tutor cancels a Class as this event would be outside of our control.   However, we will try to assist you in recovering monies from the tutor.
  1. You accept that you cannot make a claim for costs of other arrangements you may have made in order to attend a class whatever they may be.  For the avoidance of doubt, this includes costs of transportation, accommodation or anything else.
  1. In the event a class is cancelled by us due to bad weather such as snow, we will use best endeavours to reschedule your class place to another date and/or offer you a voucher so you can rebook for a date of your choice in the future.
  1. In exceptional circumstances, if we have to cancel your class place for any reason which we consider appropriate (at our sole discretion), we will offer you a transfer to another class date.

Arriving late

  1. If you arrive more than 1 hour late for your class, you will be unable to join the class as you will be too far behind to catch up and it would be unfair on other class participants.  In such circumstances we cannot move your place to an alternative date.  You would therefore lose your booking. Please ensure you leave plenty of time when planning your journey.

Class content

  1. We reserve the right to change the Class content at any time
  2. All information given in courses whether online or face-to-face (or in any other way) is based on our opinion only and should not be taken as advice in any sense at all.  Our opinion is nothing more than an opinion.

  1. If you run Classes or intend to run Classes, you are strictly prohibited from using the designs you learn in our Classes to advertise or run a class which is very similar.  It is our intention to teach you skills which will enable you to come up with your own class designs, therefore offering the market place something novel.  If you run classes or intend to run classes in the future, you may not use lesson plans, class format, outlines, structures, photographs, teaching techniques, pre class information, notes, wording from the PWC Classes or website for your own classes or the promotion of your own classes.
  1. You are also prohibited from copying the Fact Pack (in whole or in part) for any purpose whatsoever.

Transport of cakes

  1. We are in no way responsible for your cake after you leave the premises. Should anything happen to your cake during transportation that is your responsibility and we bear no responsibility for you cake or other belongings once you have left the classroom. Leaving the classroom means once you have left the kitchen and entered the hallway to exit the premises.

Property on the premises

  1. You bring all personally property onto our premises at your own risk. We bear no responsibility for your property at time when you are on the premises or after. Should you ask to keep a cake on the premises overnight, we accept no responsibility for it.
