Please note that due to health and hygiene reasons we are unable to accept the return any of the following items: (i) earrings; (ii) body piercings, unless they are returned to us unused and in a fully resalable condition with all hygienic seals in place and unbroken.

10. PRICE & PAYMENT
The prices of the products will be as quoted on the John Greed Sites and/or in our catalogue from time to time at the time you place your order. However, please see clause 12 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of any product you order.
These prices include (where applicable) VAT at the prevailing rate but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due.
We may change our prices at any time but changes will not affect any order in respect of which we have already sent you an Order Confirmation.
The John Greed Sites and catalogues contain a large number of products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products listed on the John Greed Sites or in our catalogues may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the product to you. If a product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our site or in our catalogue, we will contact you to inform you of the error and give you the option of either continuing your purchase of the product at the correct price or cancelling your order. If we are unable to contact you using the details you provided during the order process, we will treat your order as having been cancelled and notify you in writing.
We are under no obligation to provide any product to you at an incorrect (lower) price if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
Payment for all products must be by credit card, debit card, store credit, Klarna finance or using PayPal. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB, Diners, Maestro and Union Pay.
Online payments will be made within a secure environment. We use the latest encryption technology (SSL) to ensure that your transactions with us are private and protected. When you proceed to make your purchase, your browser makes a connection to the secure section of our website. Your browser will show a padlock in the browser window frame and the website address will begin with “https://” to indicate that it has made a secure connection. Our payment system also complies with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. We may provide details of your IP address, device attributes and payment method to third party fraud prevention companies to detect and prevent fraud and suspicious account activity. Your bank may request that you are screened using 3D Secure (“MasterCard SecureCode” or “Verified by Visa”) or by an independent fraud prevention service. We may contact you for additional security purposes should we deem this necessary.
We require payment for products and any delivery charges in advance of delivery. Upon receiving your order we carry out a standard pre-authorisation check on your payment method (card or PayPal) to ensure there are sufficient funds to fulfil the transaction. We will take payment from your provided payment method when you submit your Order.
We automatically suspend any orders we suspect of fraud. Our Customer Services team will contact you using the contact details given at the time of purchase. We reserve the right to cancel orders we suspect to be fraudulent.
