Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: 01.07.25

1. THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1.1 These are the terms and conditions on which we supply products to you, whether these are goods, services or digital content.

1.2 Please read these terms carefully before you submit your order to us. These terms tell you who we are, how we will provide products to you, how you and we may change or end the contract, what to do if there is a problem and other important information. If you think that there is a mistake in these terms, please contact us to discuss.

2. INFORMATION ABOUT US AND HOW TO CONTACT US

2.1 We are Ecosse Communications Ltd, a company registered in Scotland. Our company registration number is SC590545 and our registered office is at St. Dunstan's House, High Street, Melrose, Scottish Borders, United Kingdom, TD6 9RU, and are referred to as “We”, “Us” or “Our” herein.

2.2 You are the Client and can contact us by emailing our customer service team at admin@ecosse.world, and are referred to as “You” or “The Client” hereafter.

2.3 If we have to contact you, we will do so by telephone or by writing to you at the email address or postal address you provided to us in your order.

2.4 When we use the words "writing" or "written" in these terms, this includes emails.

3. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU

3.1 Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to accept it, or as soon as a purchase transaction is completed, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.

3.2 If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

3.3 We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.

3.4 Any information or content provided by you must not be false, slanderous, defamatory, discriminatory, unlawful or obscene and must not contain malicious code or infringe upon the rights or copyright of any third parties.

4. OUR PRODUCTS

4.1 The images of the products on our website and marketing materials are for illustrative purposes only. For any non-bespoke products, although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device's display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the products. Your product may vary slightly from those images.

4.2 Our products are generally of a physical or digital nature and might include, but not be limited to, printed books, eBooks, Flipbooks, Audiobooks and branded giftware. While some products might be available for purchase via this website (www.more-stuff.com), others will be available on third party websites or outlets, to which customers will be directed, however these Terms and Conditions only relate to sales made directly on this website. We accept no responsibility for sales and services provided by third parties and it is your choice and responsibility to adhere to the Terms and Conditions of third party service providers.

5. YOUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES

5.1 If you wish to make a reasonable change to the product you have ordered, please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible, we will let you know about any changes to the price of the product, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the reasonable change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the contract (see clause 8).

6. OUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES

6.1 We may change the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements and to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements. These changes will not affect your use of the product.

6.2 In addition, we may make changes to these terms or the product, but, if we do so, we will notify you and you may then contact us to end the contract before the changes take effect and receive a refund for any products paid for but not received.

6.3 While we will honour any service we have committed to with you and will see your order through to completion, except if cancelled as per clauses 8 and 10 below, we reserve the right to change, refuse or discontinue any of our prices or services, at any time and without notice. We will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, change of price, suspension or discontinuance of our products, bespoke products or services.

7. PROVIDING THE PRODUCTS

7.1 The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our website.

7.2 During the order process we will let you know when we will provide the products to you. We will deliver them to you as soon as reasonably possible. Delivery timeframes as shown on our website (www.more-stuff.com) are for the UK only. Timeframes for International deliveries will be longer, however estimated delivery dates will be provided to you at the time of the Order, either by us or by a third-party fulfiling your Order.

7.3 If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this, we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.

7.4 All products are delivered either digitally or by post/courier and may not be collected from our premises.

7.5 If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the products cannot be posted through your letterbox, we or the courier service will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery or collect from a local depot.

7.6 If you do not collect the products as arranged or if, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract and clause 10.2 will apply.

7.7 Ownership of the product remains with us until final sign-off by you or we have received payment from you for the product and related services in full.

7.8 We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the products to you. If so, we will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and clause 10.2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

7.9 We may have to suspend the supply of a product to:

7.9.1 Deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;

7.9.2 Update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;

7.9.3 Make changes to the product as requested by you or notified by us to you (see clause 6).

7.10 We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the product unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we must suspend the product for longer than 3 months, you may contact us to end the contract for a product and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the product in respect of the period after you end the contract.

7.11 If you do not pay us for the products when you are supposed to (see clause 12.4) and you still do not make payment within 7 days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend supply of the products until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. As well as suspending the products we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see clause 12.5).

8. YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT

8.1 Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract:

8.1.1 If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or a service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 11;

8.1.2 If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 8.2;

8.1.3 If you have just changed your mind about the product, see clause 8.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any goods. While you will have the right to cancel a product or service mid-order, you may be liable for any costs already incurred should these products or services be of a bespoke nature, in which case we reserve the right to retain or seek payment from you to cover all costs incurred.

8.1.4 In all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind), see clause 8.6.

8.2 If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (1) to (5) below, the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided. The reasons are:

8.2.1 We have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these terms which you do not agree to (see clause 6.2);

8.2.2 We have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;

8.2.3 There is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;

8.2.4 We have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 3 months; or

8.2.5 You have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.

8.3 For most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.

8.4 You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of:

8.4.1 Items made to your specifications, or which are clearly personalised;

8.4.2 Services, once these have been completed, even if the cancellation period is still running;

8.4.3 Products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them;

8.4.4 Sealed audio or sealed video recordings or sealed computer software, once these products are unsealed after you receive them; and

8.4.5 Any products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.

8.5 How long you have to end the contract depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered.

8.5.1 If you have bought services, you have 14 days after the day we contact you to confirm we accept your order. However, once we have completed the services you cannot change your mind, even if the period is still running. If you cancel after we have started the services, you must pay us for the services provided up until the time you tell us that you have changed your mind.

8.5.2 If you have bought non-bespoke goods, you have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods, unless:

8.5.2.1 Your goods are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you receive the last delivery to change your mind about the goods.

8.5.2.2 Your goods are for regular delivery over a set period, you have until 14 days after the day you receive the first delivery of the goods.

8.6 Even if we are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind (see clause 8.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for goods is completed when the product is delivered and paid for. A contract for services is completed when we have finished providing the services and you have paid for them. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you have not changed your mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.

9. HOW TO END THE CONTRACT WITH US

(INCLUDING IF YOU HAVE CHANGED YOUR MIND)

9.1 To end the contract with us, please let us know by doing one of the following:

9.1.1 Email: Email customer services at admin@ecosse.world. Please provide your name, home address, details of the order and, where available, your phone number and email address.

9.1.2 Online: Complete the form at the foot of the Home Page on our website [www.more-stuff.com].

9.1.3 By post: Write to us at the address below, including details of what you bought, when you ordered or received it and your name and address.

Ecosse Communications Ltd

St. Dunstan's House, High Street, Melrose, Scottish Borders, United Kingdom, TD6 9RU.

9.2 If you end the contract for any reason after products have been dispatched to you or you have received them, you must return them to us. You must post them back to us at the address in clause 9.1.3 above. If you are exercising your right to change your mind you must send off the goods within 14 days of telling us you wish to end the contract. This 14-day cooling-off period does not apply to our bespoke goods and services.

9.3 We will pay the costs of return:

9.3.1 If the products are faulty or misdescribed;

9.3.2 If you are ending the contract because we have told you of an upcoming change to the product or these terms, an error in pricing or description, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong; or

9.3.3 If you are exercising your right to change your mind within the cooling off period, except for bespoke products.

In all other circumstances, you must pay the costs of return.

9.4 If you are responsible for the costs of return and we are collecting the product from you, we will charge you the direct cost to us of collection.

9.5 Except for bespoke products and services, we will refund you the price you paid for the products including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.

9.6 If you are exercising your right to change your mind:

9.6.1 We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.

9.6.2 The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

9.6.3 Where the product is a service, we may deduct from any refund an amount for the supply of the service for the period for which it was supplied, up until the date on which you informed us in writing that you had changed your mind. The amount will be in proportion to what has been supplied, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.

9.7 We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are exercising your right to change your mind then:

9.7.1 If the products are goods and we have not offered to collect them, your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the product back to us. For information about how to return a product to us, see clause 9.2.

9.7.2 In all other cases, your refund will be made within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind.

10. OUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT

10.1 We may end the contract for a product at any time by writing to you if:

10.1.1 You do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment within 7 days of us reminding you that payment is due;

10.1.2 You do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the products;

10.1.3 You do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the products to you or collect them from us;

10.1.4 You do not, within a reasonable time, allow us access to your premises to supply the services; or

10.1.5. In the case of Force Majeure.

10.2 If we end the contract in the situations set out in clause 10.1 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for products we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the contract.

10.3 We may write to you to let you know that we are going to stop providing the product. We will let you know at least 2 weeks in advance of our stopping the supply of the product and will refund any sums you have paid in advance for products which will not be provided.

11. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PRODUCT

11.1 If you have any questions or complaints about the product, whether bespoke or non-bespoke, please contact us. You can contact our customer service team by writing to us at sales@more-stuff.com or by using the contact form on our website (www.more-stuff.com).

11.2 If you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject non-bespoke products you must either return them in person to where you bought them, post them back to us or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow us to collect them from you. We will pay the costs of postage or collection for faulty items. Please contact customer services by emailing us at sales@more-stuff.com for a return label or to arrange collection.

11.3 Please consult our Returns Policy for further details.

12. PRICE AND PAYMENT

12.1 The price of the product (which includes VAT if/where applicable) will be the price set out in the Order or our acceptance of it. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 12.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.

12.2 If VAT is applicable and the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

12.3 It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.

12.4 We accept payment by bank transfer, PayPal and GoCardless. For payment by bank transfer, our bank details will be provided on the invoice we send you. When you must pay depends on what product you are buying:

12.4.1 For goods, you must pay for the products before we dispatch them. We will not charge your credit or debit card until we dispatch the products to you.

12.4.2 For bespoke goods and services, you must either pay in full or, if paying in instalments, make an advance payment of 50% of the price of the services, before we start providing them. We will invoice you for the balance of the price of the services when we have completed them, or as detailed in the pricing options on our website (www.more-stuff.com). You must pay each invoice within 14 calendar days after the date of the invoice.

12.5 If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate of The Bank of England from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgement. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

12.6 If you think an invoice is incorrect, please contact us promptly to let us know.
