3. Order Processing and Contract Formation
Once you have submitted your order(s) using the ColourfulDreamsOfAlex website, ColourfulDreamsOfAlex will send you an email acknowledging receipt of your order and setting out details of the ordered product(s).
ColourfulDreamsOfAlex may not always be able to accept your order and ColourfulDreamsOfAlex may choose not to accept your order at its sole discretion. For example (without limitation) there may be pricing errors, insufficient stock, unusual orders or orders which ColourfulDreamsOfAlex suspects are not placed in good faith. There may also be unexpected events outside of our control meaning we may be unable to fulfil your order.
If your order is not accepted, ColourfulDreamsOfAlex will inform you via email, and if any payment has already been taken, you will be reimbursed in full for any sums paid to ColourfulDreamsOfAlex for that order.
After receiving your order, ColourfulDreamsOfAlex will check that the relevant product(s) is/are in stock. A contract for the sale of products between you and ColourfulDreamsOfAlex, which will be governed by these Purchasing Conditions, will only be formed when ColourfulDreamsOfAlex emails you confirming that all or part of the product(s) is/are still available and has/have been dispatched.
The contract is formed upon ColourfulDreamsOfAlex sending the Shipment Confirmation to you at the email address provided with your order. Please contact ColourfulDreamsOfAlex if you have not received your Shipment Confirmation within 72 hours of placing your order.
A contract for the sale of products will relate only to those products whose dispatch has been confirmed in the Shipment Confirmation. ColourfulDreamsOfAlex 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 Shipment Confirmation.
In the Order Receipt Confirmation, you will receive a copy of these Purchasing Conditions, however you are encouraged to download, save and/ a copy of your Order Receipt Confirmation and these Purchasing Conditions for your records.
If you would like to amend or cancel your order before you have received your Shipment Confirmation, you must contact the ColourfulDreamsOfAlex as soon as possible using one of the methods set out in Contact Details section or as otherwise set out in the Order Receipt Confirmation. It may not be possible to amend or cancel your order, or to prevent dispatch of the products, due to the speed with which orders are processed. If ColourfulDreamsOfAlex is unable to amend or cancel your order and the products are dispatched to you, you have the option of either refusing to accept the delivery, in which case the products will be returned to ColourfulDreamsOfAlex, or accepting the delivery and then returning the Products to ColourfulDreamsOfAlex in accordance with Returns and Refunds section.
Once you have received your Shipment Confirmation, it will be too late to prevent the products from being dispatched to you. If you would like to cancel your order after this point, please see Returns and Refunds.
4. Prices, Charges, Shipping and Handling, Taxes
The price charged for a product will be the price in effect at the time your order is placed and will be set out in the order receipt confirmation and in your shipment confirmation. All prices are payable in Great British Pound Sterling (GBP).
In the event of a pricing error, whether on the ColourfulDreamsOfAlex website or in an order receipt confirmation or otherwise, you accept that ColourfulDreamsOfAlex has the right to correct such error and charge the correct price or cancel the order. If the actual price is more than the amount shown on your order receipt confirmation, ColourfulDreamsOfAlex will notify you of the correct price and give you the option of proceeding with the order or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you or if we do not receive a response from you, your order will be cancelled and any amounts paid by you to ColourfulDreamsOfAlex for the products will be reimbursed. If you do not want to proceed with your order, your sole remedy in the event of such a pricing error is to cancel your order.
You acknowledge that even after ColourfulDreamsOfAlex has sent you the shipment confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and could reasonably have been recognised by you as an error, then ColourfulDreamsOfAlex will be under no obligations to provide the relevant product(s) to you at the bad price.
Prices for the Products include VAT and/or other applicable taxes but do not include charges for shipping and handling. Separate charges for shipping and handling (and their related VAT or other taxes) will be clearly displayed on the screen prior to the completion of your order and will be confirmed in your order receipt confirmation.
Prices for products and for shipping and handling are liable to change at any time, but changes will not normally affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a shipment confirmation (save in the case of a manifest pricing error as described above).
5. Payment
Payment shall be made by one of the methods you have selected during the checkout process (being VISA, MasterCard, Maestro, PayPal, or Gift Card).
Approved credit and debit card types are listed at the ColourfulDreamsOfAlex website checkout. In the event ColourfulDreamsOfAlex does not receive the appropriate authorisation from your card or payment service provider, ColourfulDreamsOfAlex reserves the right to reject your order.
For most payment methods, payment for your order, including all applicable taxes, shipping and other charges, will be taken from the applicable card or payment service once ColourfulDreamsOfAlex has sent you the shipment confirmation.
6. Delivery
You should allow up to 3 days (excluding Sunday and bank holidays) for standard delivery. Delivery shall in any event take place within 30 days after ColourfulDreamsOfAlex has sent you the shipment confirmation.

The delivery option described above is the only shipping option available for sales through the ColourfulDreamsOfAlex website. ColourfulDreamsOfAlex is unable to accept any special delivery requests, which are outside the scope of this option.
If ColourfulDreamsOfAlex cannot deliver your order within the period specified in your shipment confirmation, ColourfulDreamsOfAlex will notify you as soon as possible. You may choose to cancel your order, in which case ColourfulDreamsOfAlex will provide you with a full refund. If you choose not to cancel your order, ColourfulDreamsOfAlex will endeavour to deliver your order within a reasonable period of time.
If you unreasonably defer delivery or delay the receipt of delivery after ColourfulDreamsOfAlex has notified you that the carrier has tried to deliver the ordered items to you, or if you have provided ColourfulDreamsOfAlex with an incorrect delivery address which results in an unsuccessful delivery, the delivery package will be returned to ColourfulDreamsOfAlex, your order will be cancelled and a full refund will be issued to you.
7. Events outside the control of ColourfulDreamsOfAlex
