We accept your order at the time we despatch the goods to you. This represents the moment where a ‘contract of sale’ is made between Katazome and you. Please note actual contracts of sale will not be filed or accessible. All contracts are concluded in English.

Should we have any queries about your order or have any problems in fulfilling your order, our Customer Service team will contact you directly.
Should you wish to cancel your order, please see the section below on your 'Cancellation Rights'. Please note, cancellation of an order is not the same as the returns process, should you wish to return any items shipped top you. This is also detailed below in the 'Returns' section.

Pricing & Delivery Charges

The prices payable for all items offered on our website are clearly displayed. Our UK website displays prices in pounds sterling. All prices are shown inclusive of any selling duties, such as VAT. Your order will be based upon product prices and delivery charges at the time you submit your order.
When items are reduced in price for promotional or sale periods, the new price will be displayed in red with the previous price shown in black with a strikethrough. 
Whilst we make every effort to maintain the accuracy of the pricing on our website, the price of an item displayed at the time of your order, may very rarely be inaccurate. We reserve the right to accept or decline an order placed for mis-priced product. Should we be unable to fulfil the order due to a pricing error, we shall contact you regarding the required adjustment and provide you with the opportunity to cancel or accept the order based on the correct pricing. Should an item be reduced to a lower price after an order has been placed but before the merchandise has been delivered, the original order price will be upheld.

Cancellation Right

Customers within the European Union are protected by Distance Selling Regulations. Under the UK Distance Selling Regulations, you have the legal right to cancel your order up to 7 days from the day after receipt of item(s). Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays are not included within this 7 day allowance period. Cancellation periods differ across the European Union and may vary from 7 – 14 days.

Delivery & Returns

More details on the delivery and returns process are provided in the Delivery & Returns section of the website.
UK Delivery
We offer one type of delivery:
UK Standard (within 2-3 working days)
This is through the Royal Mail Signed For Service. 
Please note that all delivery times are based around working days (Mon-Fri) and refer to the time from which we receive your order. Please note that the day we receive your order may not be the day you placed your order. If you place an order on Sunday, for example, the order will be processed through our order management system on Monday. 
Delivery times represent the level of service we endeavour to achieve for all orders. We are not able to guarantee to deliver products at a particular time on a particular date. On occasion we may incur internal delays, which will increase these time frames. We use Royal Mail for the distribution of our packages. On occasion delays beyond our control may be caused by Royal Mail.
Packages will be delivered to the delivery address which was provided when the order was placed. You must make arrangements to receive packages despatched to that address. A signature will be required for proof of receipt. 
On occasion it may be necessary to despatch an order in separate packages or in separate batches. Where an order cannot immediately be fulfilled in its entirety you will be contacted directly to establish how you would like us to manage the remainder of your order.
If your package has not been delivered within our stated delivery time, please firstly check whether Royal Mail has attempted a delivery when you were not at your delivery address. 
All packages sent using Royal Mail are able to be tracked once a delivery has been attempted. Should you suspect your order to have been lost by Royal Mail please contact our Customer Service Team on Katazome.co@gmail.com who will be happy to investigate on your behalf.

Duty and Customs

Katazome operates on a DDU (Delivery Duty Unpaid) basis. If your order is being delivered outside of the European Union, local import duty and local taxes may be applicable. Such import duties may impose a delay in your goods clearing customs, of which Katazome has no control. Katazome is not financially responsible for any local import duties and taxes imposed on your goods.

Any local duty/taxes/customs fees imposed are payable locally by the purchaser. The purchaser is responsible for providing any information required by Customs & Excise to ensure the goods are cleared.

Please note Katazome is unable to refund any duty paid on items returned to us either due to fault or unsuitability as this is a contract between the purchaser and their own countries Custom & Excise. If you are unsure of whether to expect to pay duty on goods shipped to your country from the UK, please contact your local Customs & Excise office who will be able to advise you further.
