  1. Acceptance of Orders

All orders submitted on our web site are acknowledged by email immediately after their submission and are subject to our express acceptance in a second email which advises of cleared payment and delivery details. We reserve the right to cancel any order up to the point of delivery. All orders are fulfilled subject to these terms and conditions of sale unless otherwise varied by an agreement in writing.

  1. Carriage, Post and Packing

Charges are made for all delivery options except where detailed otherwise and will be invoiced to customers at the prevailing rate.

By default, we will offer the lowest possible shipping rate to the UK mainland (Excluding Northern Ireland and Scottish Highlands). Where additional services such as Next Working Day or Saturday delivery, shipment and delivery to remote or island locations, shipment and delivery outside the UK mainland, or special delivery services are requested by the Customer, additional charges to cover the full costs of these services plus administrative costs will apply. These options are displayed at time of checkout or via a 'Shipping Calculator' where applicable.

  1. Delivery
    a) Any time or date for delivery stated by the Company shall be treated as an estimate only. While every effort will be made to dispatch goods within the timescale quoted, no liability can be accepted by the Company for failure to deliver within the quoted times or within any specific time period. The Company shall not be liable for any loss or damage whatsoever (including consequential loss or loss of profit) arising directly or indirectly from any delay in the delivery of all or any of the goods however caused.
    b) The Company will accept no liability for shortages or damage to goods unless the Customer notes the damage at the time of delivery (or where this is not possible, for orders totaling less than £250 only, notes "Unable to inspect on delivery" on the delivery note or terminal) and notifies the Company via email within two days of receipt of the goods.
    c) The Customer shall be bound to accept the goods when they are tendered for delivery by the Company and delivery shall be deemed to take place when the goods are tendered for delivery to the Customer at the nominated address for delivery whereupon the risks of loss, breakage or any other damage whatsoever shall pass to the Customer.

A charge will be made if a further delivery is necessary because the customer is not at home to receive the order or if goods must be redelivered because they cannot fit into the premises without any additional work or equipment, or if goods must be redelivered for any other reason
    e) Where access to the delivery address is limited or additional equipment is required to complete delivery of the goods, additional charges to cover the full costs of these services plus administrative costs will apply.

  1. Warranty

The Company offers a one year warranty for defects in manufacturing and or materials. The warranty period shall commence when the item is received by the Customer. The warranty shall not cover accidents, misuse, neglect or when instructions for the product have not been followed. It also does not cover fair wear and tear. All goods should be maintained in line with the manufacturer instructions. The warranty is only valid for the original owner.

Occasionally a product may develop a fault whilst it is under the warranty period. Initially the fault needs to be reported in writing to the Company’s After-Sales Support Team at support@tuttibambini.com. It is helpful for the fault to be recorded digitally on a camera. Sending images by email will enable the Company to assess the matter thoroughly and to assist the Customer in processing and resolving the matter as quickly as possible. This also ensures that the fault and correspondence be documented if required for future reference.

Normally when a fault develops whilst the item is under the warranty period there are two options available:

  1. The Company will send a replacement part to the Customer.
  2. If the spares are unavailable to send out, The Company will collect the faulty item and investigate the problem and decide how best to resolve

In some cases, the fault may be resolved by sending out a spare part to the Customer during the one year warranty period. This will be done free of charge for manufacturing defects. After this time should a spare part be required the Company will be able to supply it but a charge will be applied for this service depending on the part required.

If the second option is offered, the Company will arrange for the item to be collected. In all cases the product must be securely boxed and packed prior to collection, with a letter stating the exact nature of the fault securely placed inside the box with the product and a piece of plain paper securely attached to the outside of the box with all of the Customer’s details written on it together with the Company’s CRM or return reference clearly appearing on the carton. (Details will be provided by the Company’s customer service advisor prior to collection).

All faulty products are returned to the Company to investigate the fault and to decide if the fault is covered by the warranty. If the Company decides this to be the case, the product will be repaired or replaced as necessary.

No claim will be entertained in respect of any goods which have been repaired or altered in any way or have been the subject of any accident or damage caused by any innocent, willful or negligent act or omission of the Customer or through use not in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions by the Customer or by circumstances beyond the control of the Company or goods which cannot be shown to have been supplied by the Company.

In some cases the Company may determine that the fault with the product has been caused by customer misuse. In this instance the cost of repair will be borne by the customer. The customer will also be charged £9.95 for the carriage costs for the return. Payment of the carriage cost and the cost of the repair would be required prior to any action being taken. If the Customer decides not to go ahead with the repair, the postage costs of returning the item to you would still apply.

An Exchange or refund will only be offered if the item cannot be repaired or it is not considered viable by the Company to repair the item.

  1. The Company's liability
    a) The Company's liability in respect of breach or non-performance of any order shall be limited to the invoiced value to which the claim relates.
    b) Goods are not tested or sold as fit for any particular purpose or for use under any specific conditions other than under normal conditions for those type of goods.
    c) Subject as expressly provided in these Terms and Conditions, and except where the goods are sold to a person dealing as a consumer (within the meaning of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977), all warranties, conditions or other terms implied by statute or common law are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.
    d) These terms do not affect the Customer statutory rights.
  2. Distance Selling Regulations

Any orders placed are subject to your rights of cancellation pursuant to the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000, except in respect of supply of audio or video recordings or computer software if you have unsealed their packaging.

You may exercise this right by e-mailing. You must notify us within seven days from the date of delivery. Following receipt of your notice we will contact you to arrange the return of the goods.
