Website Terms and Conditions Of Supply

This page (together with the documents referred to on it) tells you the terms and conditions on which we supply any of the goods ("Goods") listed on our website www.ecsnaith.com ("our site") to you. Please read these terms and conditions carefully before ordering any Goods from our site. You should understand that by ordering any of our Goods, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.
You should print a copy of these terms and conditions for future reference.

1. Information About Us
1.1 www.ecsnaith.com is a site operated by E.C.Snaith Limited ("we"). We are registered in England and Wales under company number 06662497 and with our registered office at Crowe Clark Whitehill LLP, Black Country House, Rounds Green Road, Oldbury, West Midlands, B69 2DG.

2. Service Availability
Our site is only intended for use by people resident in the UK. We do not accept orders from individuals outside those countries.

3. Your Status
By placing an order through our site, you warrant that:

3.1 You are legally capable of entering into binding contracts; and
3.2 You are at least 18 years old;
3.3 You are resident in one of the Serviced Countries; and
3.4 You are accessing our site from that country.

4. How the Contract is Formed between You and Us
4.1 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 (the "Dispatch Confirmation"). The contract between us ("Contract") will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.
4.2 The Contract will relate only to those Goods whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Goods which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Goods has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.


5. Consumer Rights
5.1 If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel your Contract at any time within seven working days, beginning on the day after you received the Goods. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Goods in accordance with our refund policy (set out in clause 10 below).
5.2 To cancel the Contract, you must inform us in writing. You must also return the Product(s) to us immediately, in the same condition in which you received them and at your own cost and risk. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Goods while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation.
5.3 You will not have any right to cancel the Contract for the supply of any Goods which you have made or altered to your order or specification or which have been personalised in any way ("Bespoke Goods").
5.4 Details of this statutory right, and an explanation of how to exercise it, are provided in the Dispatch Confirmation. This provision does not affect your statutory rights.

6. Availability and Delivery
6.1 We will deliver the Goods to you within seven calendar days of the date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation.
6.2 Delivery of the Order shall be completed when we deliver the Goods to you.
6.3 We will take reasonable steps to meet the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or as otherwise agreed between us in writing. However, occasionally delivery may be affected by factors beyond our control and so cannot be guaranteed. We will let you know if we become aware of an unexpected delay and will arrange a new delivery date with you.
6.4 If you fail to take delivery of an order then, except where this failure is caused by our failure to comply with these Terms or by any event beyond your control:
6.4.1 We will store the Goods until delivery takes place and may charge you a reasonable sum to cover expenses;
6.4.2 We shall have no liability to you for late delivery.
6.5 If we are not able to deliver the whole of the order at one time due to operational reasons or shortage of stock, we will deliver the order in instalments. We will not charge you extra delivery costs for this. If you ask us to deliver the order in instalments, we may charge you extra delivery costs. Each instalment shall constitute a separate contract. If we are late delivering an instalment or one instalment is faulty, that will not entitle you to cancel any other instalment.

7. Risk and Title
7.1 The Goods will be at your risk from the time of delivery.
7.2 Ownership of the Goods will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Goods, including delivery charges.

8. Price and Payment
8.1 The price of any Goods will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
8.2 These prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due.
8.3 Prices 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.
8.4 Our site contains a large number of Goods and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Goods listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
8.5 We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
8.6 Payment for all Goods must be made via an account opened by prior arrangement with us (subject to credit acceptance) or by credit or debit card. We accept payment with Visa, Master Card and Discover. We will not charge your account, credit or debit card until we despatch your order.

9. Our Returns Policy
9.1 You may return unused Goods to us for a full refund up to 30 days after delivery so long as they are not Bespoke Goods, they will not have been worn or altered in any way, are still in the original packaging and are otherwise fit to be returned to stock, Where you are dealing as a consumer, this right is an addition to your statutory rights to cancel the Contract as referred to in clause 5 above.
9.2 When you return a Product to us:
9.2.1 Because you have cancelled the Contract between us within the seven-day cooling-off period (see clause 5.1 above), we will process any refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day you have given notice of your cancellation. In this case, we will refund the price of the Product in full, including the cost of sending the item to you. However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us.
9.2.2 because you claim that the Product is defective, we will examine the returned Product and, if we are satisfied that the Product is defective, provide a full replacement or, where this is not possible because of discontinuance or other non-availability of stock, we will provide you with a full refund (including a refund of delivery charges for sending the item to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the item to us) as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirm to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund for the defective Product.
9.2.3 for any other reason (for instance, because you have notified us in accordance with paragraph 20 that you do not agree to any change in these terms and conditions or in any of our policies) we will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirm to you via e-mail that you are entitled to a refund.

About Us

First founded in 1965, E. C. Snaith at first was a dedicated Royal Air Force supplier. Since then it has branched out to become military outfitters & tailors to the entirety of the UK Armed Forces selling uniforms, uniform accessories & equipment online to the consumer and to the trade.

Since 2004 it has been part of the Firmin House group along with Kashket and Partners, military tailors, and Firmin & Sons, button and badge makers, armourers and sword cutlers. The oldest part of the group has been continuously manufacturing in the United Kingdom since 1685 making it one of the country’s oldest manufacturers and suppliers.

Unlike many direct sale companies this means we understand manufacturing and product development, not just selling. If there is anything you can't find, or even something entirely new, please do get in touch. We'll be happy to develop a bespoke product with you.
