Terms & Conditions

Terms and Conditions of Use

Online Home Essentials
Email: info@onlinehomeessentials.co.uk

We kindly ask that you take a moment to read through these Terms and Conditions carefully, as they form the legal agreement between you and Online Home Essentials. Your use of our website and the placement of any order constitutes your full acceptance of the terms set out below. These conditions apply regardless of whether you are simply browsing, registering an account, or making a purchase.

We understand that legal text can sometimes feel overwhelming, so we have taken care to write this in plain English where possible—while still remaining compliant with UK consumer protection laws. If anything is unclear, please feel free to contact us. We're here to help.

1. Governing Law and Legal Framework

These Terms and Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. We are committed to full compliance with all applicable UK legislation, including but not limited to:

  • The Consumer Rights Act 2015
  • The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013
  • The Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002
  • The Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended)
  • The Misrepresentation Act 1967

By continuing to use our services, you agree that any disputes arising from your use of this site or purchases made through it will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.


2. Formation of Contract

When you place an order with us, it is considered an offer to purchase. You will receive an email confirming that your order has been received, but this does not signify acceptance. A contract will only be formed when we send you a Dispatch Confirmation Email, signifying that your items have left our premises.

We reserve the right to decline or cancel an order at any time before dispatch. This could be for various reasons, including but not limited to unavailability of stock, suspicion of fraudulent activity, or pricing or product description errors.

3. Product Information

While we make every effort to ensure that our product descriptions and images are as accurate as possible, small differences in colour or finish may occur due to screen display settings and manufacturing tolerances. All measurements are approximate.

Please note that the way a product appears online may not be an exact representation of the actual item received. Such minor variations do not constitute grounds for a return, unless the item is defective or not as described.

4. Pricing and Payment

All prices are displayed in British Pounds Sterling (GBP) and include VAT where applicable. Payment must be made in full at the time of ordering. We accept most major credit and debit cards and secure online payments.

In the rare event that a pricing error occurs, we reserve the right to cancel or amend the order accordingly. We are not obliged to honour incorrect prices where the mistake is obvious and could reasonably have been recognised as an error.

5. Delivery Information

We aim to dispatch orders promptly and will communicate clearly if delays are expected. However, we are not responsible for delays caused by third-party couriers, customs processes, weather events, or other unforeseen circumstances.

Ownership of goods passes to you once payment has been received in full. Risk passes to you at the point of delivery.

If your order originally qualified for free shipping and you later return items reducing the total below the free delivery threshold, we reserve the right to deduct the original delivery charge from any refund issued.

6. Returns and Exchanges

We want you to be happy with your purchase. If for any reason you are not satisfied, you have the right to return items within 14 calendar days from the date of delivery, provided they are unused, in their original condition, and with all packaging intact.

Please note the following important exceptions due to hygiene regulations:

  • Pillows, pillowcases, and duvet covers
  • Mattress protectors and toppers
  • Sheets, towels, and throws
  • Any items intended for personal use or intimate contact

These items cannot be returned if opened or handled.

Additionally, items that are made to order, personalised, or bespoke are non-refundable unless faulty, as stipulated under UK consumer law.

Return postage costs are the responsibility of the customer unless the item is faulty. We recommend a tracked and insured service as we cannot accept responsibility for items lost or damaged in transit.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or goodwill, resulting from your use of our site or purchase of goods.

Our total liability, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, is limited to the total amount you paid for the product in question.

We are not responsible for any inconvenience or indirect damage caused by delays, miscommunications, or differences in colour or finish where such differences are within acceptable and reasonable bounds.

8. Order Misuse and Resale

We reserve the right to cancel or refuse orders suspected of being intended for resale or commercial redistribution, especially bulk orders exceeding 50 units of the same item. Our site is intended for consumer purchases only unless otherwise agreed in writing.

9. Disputes

If a dispute arises, we encourage you to contact us first at info@onlinehomeessentials.co.uk so we can try to resolve the matter informally and amicably. If a resolution cannot be reached, the matter will be handled in accordance with English law.

10. Amendments to These Terms

We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. Any changes will be clearly posted on this page. Your continued use of the website implies acceptance of any amended terms.

11. Severability

If any part of these Terms and Conditions is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest of the terms shall remain in full force and effect.

12. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Returns Policy, and any additional notices or disclaimers, form the entire agreement between you and Online Home Essentials.
