Terms of Sale
Your order is an offer to The Papasan Chair Company to buy the product(s) in your order. When you place an order to purchase a product from The Papasan Chair Company, we will send you an e-mail confirming receipt of your order containing the details of your order (the “New Order Confirmation E-mail”). The New Order Confirmation E-mail is acknowledgement that we have received your order and does not confirm acceptance of your offer to buy the product(s) ordered. We only accept your offer and conclude the contract of sale for a product ordered by you, when we dispatch the product to you and send E-mail Confirmation to you that we’ve dispatched the product to you (the “Dispatch Confirmation E-mail”).
Your contract is with The Papasan Chair Company. Without affecting your right of cancellation set out below, you can cancel your order for a product at no cost any time before we send the Dispatch Confirmation E-mail relating to that product. Unfortunately, this does not apply to bespoke, custom made cushions or upholstery (which we will advise in your New Order Confirmation Email) where we have ordered the fabric specifically for your order, you have added extras to your order including piping, trims, Velcro straps or your item has been made to your bespoke sizing.
You consent to receive sales invoices electronically. For each delivery, we will inform you in our Dispatch Confirmation E-mail if an electronic invoice is available and how to access it. Alternatively, a paper invoice may be issued and delivered to you with your goods of purchase.
The duration of our contract with you will start from when you order and we take payment and dispatch the products, until the last day of your right to cancel.
The Papasan Chair Company holds the right to cancel any order should they for any reason be unable to fulfil it. If there are any problems with your order, you may be contacted up to 24hrs before dispatch. Please note that non-acceptance of an order may be a result of the product you ordered being unavailable from stock, our inability to obtain authorisation for your payment, the identification of a pricing or product description error, or not meeting the eligibility to order criteria, as set out in these general Terms & Conditions and/or our Delivery and Refund Policy and/or our Privacy Policy.

We can provide all weights and dimensions required to assist in this process and we do hold details of recommended shipping companies used by customers in the past. Please give us a ring or contact us on sales@papasanchair.co.uk for more information.

The refund will not include any paid standard delivery or delivery supplement charges.
All goods must be returned in their original packaging and in a re-saleable condition, otherwise you will not receive a full refund.
We will always inspect goods prior to authorising refunds. A deduction will be made if the value of the goods has been reduced, for example as a result of you handling the goods (except when it was necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods), assembling the goods, using the goods, inadequate re-packaging of the goods, or damage caused during return transit. Cushions will be delivered sealed in clear plastic wrapping that will allow for inspection.

If the product is not returned in its original packaging, a charge will be made to replace any missing or damaged original packaging.
If we send items free of charge as a goodwill gesture, we will not accept a return or refund on these.
Out of stock items
Sometimes, items are for a variety of reasons temporarily unavailable. We try to alert you to this fact on the website, but just occasionally, demand exceeds supply. If a product you have ordered is out of stock, we will tell you about the problem and place the out of stock item on back order. We try to estimate when new stocks will arrive and always give you the option of cancelling either the whole order or simply the out of stock item, if you would prefer not to wait.

The Papasan Chair Company total liability in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty), misrepresentation, restitution or otherwise, arising in connection with the performance or contemplated performance of this agreement shall be limited to the price paid for the goods. Nothing in these conditions excludes or limits the liability of The Papasan Chair Company for death or personal injury caused by the Supplier’s negligence or fraudulent misrepresentation.
