Billing Policy
Last updated: June 2025
Payment Methods
We accept the following payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express (credit and debit), Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay. All transactions are processed in British Pounds Sterling (GBP).
When You Are Charged
Payment is collected in full at the time you place your order. We do not operate a pay-later or instalment system unless explicitly stated at checkout.
Secure Payments
All payment transactions are encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology. We do not store your full card number, CVV, or expiry date. Payment processing is handled by Shopify Payments and our partner payment providers, all of whom are PCI-DSS compliant.
VAT
All prices displayed on this website include VAT where applicable. Your order confirmation email will show a VAT breakdown.
Failed Payments
If your payment fails, you will be notified at checkout. Please check your card details, ensure sufficient funds are available, and contact your bank if the problem persists. Your order will not be processed until payment is successfully received.
Fraudulent Transactions
We reserve the right to cancel any order where we have reason to believe it may be fraudulent. If your order is cancelled for this reason, we will contact you to verify your details before reprocessing.
Refunds
Refunds are processed to your original payment method. Please see our Returns & Refund Policy for full details.
