Please read these terms of supply carefully and make sure that you understand them, before ordering any products from the Website. You should understand that by ordering any of our products, you agree to be bound by these terms of supply.
You should print a copy of these terms of supply for future reference.
Please tick the box on the page where you purchase products if you accept them. Please understand that if you refuse to accept these terms of supply, you will not be able to order any products from the Website.
Service availability
Some restrictions are placed on the extent to which we accept orders from specific countries. If we are unable to ship to your country, it will either be stated in our terms of supply or you will be informed at the checkout.
Your status
By placing an order through the Website, you warrant that: – you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts; and – you are at least 18 years old.
How the contract is formed between you and us
After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the product has been dispatched (“Dispatch Confirmation”). The contract between us (“Contract”) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.
All advertisements and communications made by us on the Website are “invitations to treat”, not offers. This means that if products shown on the site are not available or are incorrectly priced or otherwise incorrectly described, we are not obliged to sell you those products unless they have been confirmed in a Dispatch Confirmation. The Contract will relate only to those products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.
Third parties
We may provide links on Website to the websites of other companies. We give no undertaking that products you purchase from third party sellers through the Website, or from companies to whose website we have provided a link on the Website, will be of satisfactory quality, and any such warranties are DISCLAIMED by us absolutely.
We will notify you when a third party is involved in a transaction, and we may disclose your personal information related to that transaction to the third party seller. Please refer to Price and Payment regarding our payment processing.
If you are contracting as a consumer, this DISCLAIMER does not affect your statutory rights against us. If you would like information about your legal rights you should contact your local trading standards or citizens advice bureau.
Availability and delivery
Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within a reasonable time of the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
We ship all UK orders via Royal Mail. We do not ship internationally.
Items will be shipped as soon as possible, and should arrive within 1-3 working days, excluding weekends and bank holidays.
Estimated delivery times are a guide only and commence from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation.
If no one is available to sign the parcel may be left with a neighbour or instructions will be left on how to arrange redelivery or collection.
Risk and title
The products will be your responsibility from the time of delivery.
Ownership of the products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the products, including delivery charges.
If you have not received your products within 10 days from the Dispatch Confirmation, you must notify us immediately by email, quoting your order number. If you fail to inform us of non-delivery within this time we will not refund or replace the products.
Price and payment
The price of the products and our delivery charges will be as quoted on the Website from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
Product prices and delivery charges are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.
The Website contains a large number of products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products listed on the Website may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures. If the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably recognised by you as an error, we do not have to provide the products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.
Payment for all products must be by credit or debit card. We accept payment with most major credit cards.
We do not store credit card details. All our payments systems are handled by PayPal who uses a secure server that implements SSL technology (certified to the required standard for encrypted credit card transactions by VERISIGN) to protect your credit card information and assist your shopping experience. For information on how PayPal processes and uses personal information, please see PayPal’s privacy policy. PayPal provides us with limited data such as the shipping address, billing address, contact information and confirmation of payment.
Any losses incurred or sustained by customers who transmit information by means of e-mail or other internet links shall be borne solely and exclusively by that customer and in no event shall any such losses in whole or in part be borne by us. When using a public computer, you must sign out when you have finished shopping.
Cancellations / returns
Consumers have a statutory right to cancel for any reason and receive a full refund. You will receive a full refund of the price paid for the products in accordance with our Refunds Policy. Your statutory right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation (when the Contract between us is formed) and ends fourteen days after receipt of the products by you. You must return the product to us unopened in order to receive the refund unless it is being returned due to a fault. This does not affect your statutory rights.
To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing. If the products have been delivered to you, you must also return the products to us as soon as reasonably practicable. In the UK we will cover the cost of returns (provided the product is unopened unless it is being returned due to a fault).
Details of your statutory right of cancellation and an explanation of how to exercise it are provided in the Dispatch Confirmation. This provision does not affect your other statutory rights as a consumer.
Our refunds policy
If for any reason you are dissatisfied with any product, simply follow the directions below to return the product fourteen days after receipt of the products by you, and we will promptly process your request and refund your money unless a product is being returned due to being faulty. Please ensure the product is in all its original packaging and has not been used.
Please contact our customer service team before returning any item and we will provide details of where to send it to.
We will refund any money received from you, normally by using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase. Refunds will be processed without undue delay.

We share your personal data within the Life Veda group and use Mailchimp, a US company, to provide our email marketing services. This involves transferring your data outside of the European Economic Area (EEA).
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
– We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
– Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.
– Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the US.
DATA SECURITY
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
DATA RETENTION
HOW LONG WILL YOU USE MY PERSONAL DATA FOR?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation with respect to our relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
By law, we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see below for further information.
In some circumstances, we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.
You have the right to:
Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: – If you want us to establish the data’s accuracy. – Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it. – Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. – You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us using the details provided above.
NO FEE USUALLY REQUIRED
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
WHAT WE MAY NEED FROM YOU
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
TIME LIMIT TO RESPOND
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
GLOSSARY
Legitimate Interest means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the best and most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us.
Performance of Contract means processing your data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.
Comply with a legal obligation means processing your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation that we are subject to.
