PayPal transfer is the acceptable method of payment. Our Terms are payment in full before shoes are customised. 50% of the total package cost is payable to secure your space on our waiting list and is non refundable. Final payments are due two months before the delivery date on 1st of that month or before we start the mock design whichever is sooner. Example, if your order is due for delivery in March, the final payment would be due by 1st January. 

Late payments may result in your delivery date being delayed. The delay will not be relative to the lateness of your payment. We reserve the right to remove your order from your original delivery date slot and add your order to the next available delivery date once the late payment is made. This could be significantly later than your original date slot-no refunds will be offered. 

Late payments will incur a charge as follows:

1-13 days late-No charge

14-21 days late £15

Over 21 days late £25. 

If you need to change your delivery date please contact us at the earliest opportunity for availability but at least two weeks prior to your delivery month. If you are changing the date to further ahead the final payment will still be due on the original due date. If changing your date sooner, the final payment will be due two months prior to this date or immediately if it is less than two months out. 

All goods remain the property of the Company until paid for in full. We reserve the right to seek recovery of any monies remaining unpaid sixty days from the date of invoice via collection Agencies and/or through the Small Claims Court in the event that the outstanding balance does not exceed £3000. In such circumstances, you shall be liable for any and all additional administrative and/or court costs.  

 

  • Tartan Shoes

We will ask for the tartan and version that you require on the consultation questionnaire. We will then order the tartan you state. Any changes to this tartan once ordered will incur a £45 fee.

 

  • Cancellation and Refunds Policy

Both the Client and ourselves have the right to terminate any Services Agreement for any reason, including the ending of services that are already underway. No refunds shall be offered, where a Service is deemed to have begun and is, for all intents and purposes, underway. Any monies that have been paid to us shall be refunded if we terminate the service. We can not except responsibility for shoes not fitting and no refund will be given since there is the option of a try on service. Minimum 14 days notice of cancellation required. Notification for instance, in person, via email, mobile phone ‘text message’, or any other means will be accepted subject to confirmation in writing. If you decided to cancel your order then 50% of the total cost will be charged up until the mock design process has started. After this time no refund will be issued. If you cancel during your delivery month but the mock design has not been started, 85% of the total cost will be charged. Cancellation after the delivery month will result in 100% of the cost being charged. In addition after the design is approved no responsibility will be taken by Lace and Love or refund given if the customer changes their mind or decides they don't like the shoes.

For clients moving their delivery date further out, the original delivery month will be counted for the above charges and not the new month unless that is sooner.

After base shoes have been agreed on, if you want to change the style then a £35 charge will apply on the Exclusive Package. On the VIP Package one style change is included, further style changes will incur the £35 charge.

Changes from the VIP and Exclusive to the Luxury package will incur a £25 charge to cover administrative expenses. If you have purchased our rush VIP service and wish to change to the Luxury package and still wish to have the rush service an additional £50 charge will be incurred.

Customers must notify us within 24 hours of receiving their order about any damage, fault or problems. After this time we do not except any reponsibility. Our designs on the shoes are all done by hand and whilst every care is taken to ensure embellishments are attached securely these can become unattached from time to time. Small beads or other embellishments may be lost or damaged if caught or snagged. Should this happen we are unable to offer a refund however we may be able to provide you with some replacement beads subject to availability. 

Ready made non custom items may be returned for a refund within 14 days of receipt. These must be returned via a tracked, insured service paid for by the buyer. The buyer must notify us in writing before this period of the intended return. Items outside of this period will not be eligible for a refund. They must be returned in the original and unused condition.

Heel tips will wear down and occasionally come off. These should be replaced before damage to the main heel is caused by a good shoe cobbler. All shoes are coated with a stain and water repellant prior to being posted out. Whilst this helps against stains and water damage it will not stop it completely and care should still be taken. You can recoat your shoes periodically, taking care to cover any metal embellishments first. Shoes should be stored in cool, dry conditions and a place out of full sunlight. Futher general shoe care may be found online and is your responsibility for their general upkeep.

 

  • Delivery

Unless agreed by us your order will be delivered to the address provided on your order at the time of purchase. We will use resonable efforts to deliver your order within the stated time however do not guarantee this time frame. Delayed replies to our emails, changing designs, delay in sending your shoes to us, changing shoe styles and/or changing packages will delay your completion date and we can't guarantee delivery by your required date. A delayed time in response or sending shoes by the client or any of the above scenarios, will not be relative to the delayed time your order will be completed. This will be subject to the current wait times and workload. If you are sending your own shoes to us, these will need to be with us a minimum of 6 weeks prior to the start of your delivery month. No refunds will be offered in this circumstance. We will not be liable for any delay or inability to deliver within the estimated lead times or postal delays or import charges imposed by your country.

 

  • Dyeing

While we try our very best to find the style of shoe in the colour you want it is not always possible. In this case our last option would be to dye to your desired colour. Only dyeable shoes can be selected for this option and 3 weeks extra should be allowed for dyeing. We will make a reasonable effort to have the shoes dyed in the colour of your choosing however colour can vary between different shoe fabrics. Dye can also be uneven over pleats, gathers and knots in the fabric. The small areas in the seams where glue may be present may not absorb dye as readily as the rest of the shoe. Shoes are dyed with a water soluble dye so could run or fade if they come into contact with water. We will coat your shoes with a water repellant to help protect against this but shoes should be coated again periodically ideally before each wear and by covering any embellishments. By agreeing to have your shoes dyed you are agreeing to these terms.

  • Try On Service

We offer a try on service if you are unsure of sizing. We send out the unworked shoe for you to try. If it doesn't fit, we offer an exchange to a different size or style only subject to purchased package. Cancellation of orders will be subject to the original cancel terms stated previously in our terms and conditions. Shoes must be posted back to us via recorded post at the customers cost and insured for a minimum of £50. Any shoes not received will incur a lost shoe charge as stated below. Shoes must be sent back within 5 working days of receipt. If you reside outside of the UK or Europe and would like to use the try on service, please contact us. Please note that using the try on service will increase lead times for the order.

Shoes from overseas must be marked as “returned goods” on the customs form and box when sending otherwise we will incur customs import charges. If this is not marked on the customs forms and box and we incur such charges, these charges will be passed onto the client.

Shoes are deemed as lost once the standard delivery time has passed. Standard delivery time is based on the timeframe provided by the customer's chosen courier service and the delivery service selected. Should the shoes become lost when posting them back to us, there will be an additional £35 charge. This charge will be invoiced and due prior to your shoes being completed and posted out to you.
