Terms and Conditions

Once you have successfully placed an order with Zambezi Gallery, you will be sent an automated email confirming receipt and the details of your order. Your order represents an offer by you to purchase goods from us. Please note it is the customer’s responsibility to check the confirmation email and notify us immediately of any errors at info@zambezigallery.com. A follow-up email will then be sent by one of our representatives to confirm that your order has been placed with the artisan or supplier, or if the goods are in stock, to confirm an expected delivery date. It is at this point that we accept your offer, are bound to fulfil it and a contract is formed. If you wish to cancel an order before the order has been processed please email us at info@zambezigallery.com – quoting your order reference number. For cancellation of 'Made to Order' items please refer to the 'Made to Order' section of the 'Terms and Conditions' page. 

Pricing and Payment

Prices on our website are fully inclusive of UK VAT and Shipping costs at the current rate when shopping in £GBP. UK Customs may charge you a customs fee on the arrival of goods to the UK. If you would like an estimate of what these are, then please get in touch before ordering. We must charge VAT for any order sent to an address within the United Kingdom. Orders sent elsewhere will not be charged VAT.

International customers shopping in a currency other than £GBP will see VAT-exclusive (tax-free) prices. Taxes and duties for international customers will be collected by the courier on import to your country. 

We reserve the right to alter prices at any time, depending on the fluctuation of exchange rates, supplier price lists, or VAT changes. Any price changes will be confirmed to you at the time of order. Prices quoted are inclusive of any delivery charges that may be incurred. More information can be found via email. We accept payment by all major debit and credit cards through Visa, Amex, Mastercard, Discover, Diners Club, Maestro, Union Pay, Shop-pay, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. – Which are highly secure payment processing systems. Our privacy policy is that we do not store credit card details, nor do we share customer financial details with any 3rd parties.

Our standard payment option is to take payment through our website. However, we can also take payment over the phone for those with web accessibility requirements or provide a Pro-Forma invoice for trade customers. Please contact us if you would prefer one of these methods.

 

Made-to-Order Items

‘Made to order’ items are identified above the product description. These items are purchased by Zambezi Gallery directly from the manufacturer/Artisan/supplier specifically at the customer's request. These items are designated as ‘Bespoke and customised goods’ under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and are exempt from cancellation rights. After 24 hours of the order being confirmed any cancellations are either not possible or subject to a fee. The fee varies with each Artisan and supplier but typically you should expect to pay 10% (of the purchase price) to amend an order, or 30% to cancel altogether. However, please note that this is at the supplier or artisans discretion (as they may have begun working towards your order). 

Each ‘Made to order’ item is subject to a supplier's ‘lead-time’ guidance. A lead time is an estimation of how long it will take for the supplier to produce the item from when the order is received. The lead time does not include the time for the manufacturer to ship the item to the customer's address, customs clearance, or the subsequent time needed to process the item ready for onward dispatch. If the item will be stocked by Zambezi Gallery, as soon as we receive the goods in our warehouse we will contact you to arrange delivery. We aim to dispatch all goods to you within 2-4 business days of arrival into our warehouse after they have been checked.

Before ‘Made-to-order’ items are shipped, they are quality checked with the supplier and photographs and videos are recorded of the product before it is ready to be shipped. All products will be securely shipped and insured when sent to customers. 

In the event of a ‘Made to order’ item/s arriving damaged, with a fault, or developing a fault, you are entitled to a replacement of faulty parts free of charge. The fault can be agreed upon through the use of photographs of the opening of the item within 24 hours if it is in line with supplier policy We will arrange a collection of the item/s at our own cost. When the fault cannot be agreed upon through this method we will require you to send us the item/s back using your method. If the items are found to be faulty, by agreement with the supplier/artisan, we will refund any reasonable costs* you have outlaid to return the items to us. For full terms and conditions regarding damages please refer to our Delivery and Returns page.

Please note: We will only arrange transportation for faulty items where all the original protective packaging is available. If you have disposed of it then you will need to source replacement packaging and will remain responsible for the item/s arriving back with us in the same condition as they arrived. 

Made-to-order items are identified as above each product description. If you are unsure which items are classified as Made to order please do not hesitate to contact us. We will also usually make you aware that your items are being ordered for you with a personalised email after your order is placed.

In the vast majority of cases, the lead time is an accurate representation of how long you may be expected to wait for an item to be produced. However, sometimes there can be problems with over-demand or quality/production issues with suppliers or delays occurring within their own countries, which in turn lead to delays with the order. In these cases, we will keep you informed, but we cannot accept liability for any loss or inconvenience that may result from the delay. Equally as often items will arrive earlier than stated, when this happens we will contact you to ensure you are ready to receive the item.

 

Brexit / Customs / Exports

Please note that customers are responsible for any customs, import duties, and clearance fees (where applicable) in their own country. These charges are generated by local authorities and are not created or assigned by Zambezi Gallery. If you refuse to pay the customs & duties on your order or refuse delivery of the package, then the cost of returning the package to the supplier/ our warehouse will be deducted from your refund if a refund is applicable.

We are currently offering a reimbursement of 20% of the total amount of customs & duties paid (excluding VAT) as store credit if you send us a copy of your receipt or proof of payment. Please submit your request for this reimbursement to info@zambezigallery.com.

To qualify for customs reimbursement, your request must be submitted within 30 days of receiving your order delivery.

International customers will also have these fees paid for by Zambezi Gallery but there will usually be some importation costs and duties payable for goods on entry to your country. Please ask us for an estimate before purchasing if you are unsure what your local government is likely to charge you. If this doesn’t answer your question please just call or email us. From a customer's perspective, the biggest change now that the UK is outside of the EU is that all goods must now be imported into the UK first. This process can take anywhere from 5 days to 3 weeks, which can make it very difficult for retailers to give you an accurate prediction of how long in total it will take to deliver your order.

 

Promotions and Discounts

Zambezi Gallery reserves the right to issue, remove or amend promotions without notice. Often a promotional code is issued in return for a customer action, I.E subscribing to our newsletter or writing us a review. The customer always has the right to request their details or content is removed from our databank or reviews page, regardless of whether a promotional code has been issued or used. Please contact us in writing (email is fine) if you wish for your data to be permanently deleted and we will do so immediately.

Promotional codes may not be combined with other offers or product discounts except where we communicate an exception to this rule. Generally, they may only be used against full-price product purchases.

 

Matching Colour Finishes

For all items made from natural products, such as leather, glass, paper, metal, marble, or wood, it is not possible to guarantee items will have the same colour, shade, pattern, or finish as items seen on the website, due to the inherent nature of such materials. More information on shade differences can be found, where appropriate, on the individual product pages. Most of our products are handmade in small batches, as such there will usually be a slight difference between each item. We do not consider such differences to be faults unless the manufacturer agrees that the item falls outside of their production typical tolerances.

All measurements are approximate and the reproduction of colours on the website cannot be perfect but are as accurate as photographic and publishing processes allow. The majority (if not all) of our items are handmade, any imperfection is to be considered as a distinguishing feature of the craftsman’s work, which makes each piece unique.  

Cancellations and Amendments of Orders

It is the customer’s responsibility to check the order form and confirm that all products, quantities, and address details are correct. You may cancel your contract with us for the goods you order, providing your goods have not already been dispatched or an order for your items has not already been placed with the supplier. Smaller items are usually dispatched within 1-2 working days. To cancel your order you must notify us by email as soon as possible to info@zambezigallery.com quoting your name and order reference. In terms of Made-to-order furniture and art are products that are handmade by artisans and suppliers specifically at the customer’s request. These items may only be exchanged in the unlikely event of items being found to be faulty. Each product listing clearly states which items are in-stock items and which items are ‘Made to order’. We will agree to exchange smaller items for a different colour/material should it be also in stock, although please note that this service is purely at our discretion.

 

Delivery and Returns

For all delivery and returns queries please see the terms and conditions on our dedicated Delivery & Returns page.

 

Long-term Storage and Abandonment

When your goods/furniture arrives at our warehouse, or with our couriers' warehouse, you should be ready to receive the items. If you cannot take delivery for whatever reason we are not liable to safeguard the item. When a customer order is ready to be dispatched you will be informed using the contact details you provided. In cases of no response from the customer, or unclaimed items returned to us, we will try to keep your item/s for 12 weeks if possible to do so. After this, they may be moved to a long-term storage area. Items left in long-term storage for longer than a year will be deemed abandoned. Abandoned goods will usually be disposed of or sold but may be released if a storage fee is paid and they are still available.
